The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 258 - 228: Romance

No one knows what Zeke Veridian is thinking.

There’s no objection from anyone, in fact, they’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.

But thinking that tonight it’s not them, there’s a bit of disappointment.

Luna Sutton calmly took a bite of grilled fish, ignoring the glances, deliberate or accidental, cast by a few men.

Zeke Veridian threw a handful of wild onions into the stone pot, extinguished the fire underneath, then turned and walked out of the cave as quickly as if escaping.

"Where are you going?"

Luna called out to him.

His back stiffened, voice tight, "To wash my face."

Malachi Arcanus let out a chuckle: "Didn’t you wash it earlier when you were catching fish?"

Zeke Veridian whipped around, a Wind Blade whisking past Malachi’s scalp, chopping off a lock of his hair.

Luna watched Zeke’s red ear tips and suddenly found it quite amusing.

Usually so cool and sharp-tongued, yet so pure-hearted?

Suddenly felt like teasing him a bit.

She got up and walked to Zeke, intentionally leaning in close, like biting his ear, and said teasingly, "You wouldn’t be going to pick flower petals for a bath, would you?"

Zeke held his breath, his emerald eyes fixating on her.

How could she guess so accurately, even knowing he wanted to pick flower petals for a bath?

Though there wasn’t really anywhere to take a bath in the wilderness, there was indeed a pond nearby.

He also wanted to see if there was a suitable mating place nearby, best if it was serene and undisturbed.

His ears turned so red they could bleed, his Adam’s apple bobbed twice before he squeezed out, "I was going to fetch some water too."

She chuckled, "Oh~ really?"

Deliberately stretching the tone, with a teasing look.

Malachi whistled provokingly, only to be pinned in place by a glare from Corbin Crowley.

Rhys Blackwood silently scooped the Rock Mutton from the pot into a bowl, thoughtfully adding some Lingzhi.

Knowing Luna loved mushrooms, he put some more in.

Then set it aside to cool; it was too hot to eat now.

"Luna."

Mael Valerius suddenly hugged her from behind, his large hands restlessly rubbing her waist, "The day after tomorrow it’s my turn..."

His voice was inexplicably hoarse.

Thinking about catching a witch doctor later.

Celestia Fawkes’ situation must be resolved in advance, so as not to affect the good things planned for the night after tomorrow.

Zeke seized the moment to transform into a Celestial Moon-chaser Wolf and dashed out of the cave, his glossy green fur shimmering in the morning light.

Luna watched Zeke’s embarrassed retreating figure and couldn’t help but laugh.

The night fell, the stars twinkled.

Luna sat on a new wooden bench carved inside the cave, holding a twig, poking at the fire absentmindedly.

Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Kian Sterling, Malachi Arcanus, Mael Valerius, all had been chased outside the cave by her.

Leaving them to find their own place to spend the night.

Zeke Veridian also went somewhere unknown, having left in the morning and not been seen since.

She couldn’t help but mutter internally, could he be hiding out of embarrassment?

While thinking about this.

Suddenly footsteps came from the entrance of the cave.

Looking up, she saw Zeke walking in from outside.

He had apparently cleaned up, his long black hair draped over his shoulders, his emerald eyes shimmering alluringly in the firelight.

He was wearing a moon-white beasts’ hide garment, looking elegant and refined, like an exiled deity descending to earth.

Luna looked at him, couldn’t help teasing, "Oh, where did this handsome gentleman come from? Maybe he’s in the wrong place?"

Zeke glared at her, turning his blushing face aside, "Nonsense."

Looking at his awkward demeanor, she couldn’t help but laugh.

She got up and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her face on his chest, her voice sweet, "Alright, no more teasing, are we ready to start?"

Zeke was stunned by her sudden intimacy, his Adam’s apple bobbed twice before he whispered, "To the valley... I’ve found a place." 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

His fingertip flicked a Wind Blade that extinguished the fire, plunging the cave into darkness.

Luna only felt tightness around her waist, instantly swept off her feet by Zeke.

As the night wind brushed past her ears, she heard Malachi’s distant, envious shout.

Zeke’s embrace was softer than she had imagined, carrying her into the depths of the dense forest.

The forest under the night sky was peaceful and mysterious, occasionally interspersed with chirps and growls, adding a sense of vitality to the quiet night.

As they passed through the forest.

She noticed glowing vines wrapped around the trunks along the way.

It was Moonlight Moss, a rare plant that blooms with luminous light only on moonlit nights.

"Did you set this up?"

She looked up at Zeke, lightly drawing circles on his chest with her fingertips.

Zeke’s steps paused slightly, his handsome face briefly unnatural: "Just along the way."

Luna smiled with closed lips, but didn’t expose him.

When they passed through the last piece of forest, her breath caught.

A spacious valley lay before her.

In the center of the valley was a clear lake, its waters shimmering with ripples under the moonlight, beautiful and mysterious.

The lakeside was blossoming with various wildflowers, their fragrance spreading far and wide, while amid the sea of flowers, there was a hammock woven from fresh flowers and vines.

Luna’s fingertip traced along Zeke’s collarbone, deliberately stretching her tone: "Oh~ just along the way?"

Zeke suddenly tossed her into the air, catching her steadily upon her startled cry, with the moonlight reflecting off his flushed face, "Laugh again and I’ll throw you into the lake."

She hugged his neck tightly, noticing several bamboo containers placed next to the hammock, curious about their contents.

Zeke followed her gaze and responded, his throat bobbing: "Inside, some herbal juices I ground; I once heard from a witch doctor... it can ease discomfort."

Her face flushed crimson, though it’s not her first time, how wild must it be to need something to ease discomfort?

And she had no idea Zeke knew about such things?

This man must have already secretly consulted a witch doctor.

Outwardly innocent, yet inwardly he’s quite the devil.

Suddenly feeling a bit nervous inside.

But she cheekily said, "You’ve certainly prepared well, even brought along some festive wine?"

Before she finished speaking, Zeke suddenly plunged with her into the lake.

The icy lake water soaked through the beast hide garment, just as she was about to struggle, she was pinned against the cold boulder at the lakeside, as smooth as a small bed, covered with layers of various colored petals, soft as can be.

Zeke’s wet strands clung to her cheek, his voice inexplicably husky: "Clean up first."

On a distant branch, Corbin stood on a fruit tree, growing ever more jealous, "Who’s pretending to be innocent? Didn’t he rush over this morning specifically to ask him what Luna likes ZS..."

Of course, he couldn’t possibly tell the truth.

Instead, he shared what Luna found unpleasant...
