The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 266 - 232: Rice_2

Celestia Fawkes stomped her foot angrily behind him, "Soren, are you really my brother?"

What responded to her was Soren Phoenix’s gradually fading laughter.

......

At this moment, Luna Sutton was lying on Zeke Veridian’s back, traversing the dense forest.

As the night wind brushed past her ears, she suddenly noticed a patch of golden plants in the distant valley.

Under the moonlight, those slender stalks bent heavily, looking just like the rice from her previous life.

"Wait!"

She abruptly grabbed Zeke Veridian’s mane.

Zeke Veridian stopped suddenly, his wolf paws plowing four deep furrows in the mud: "What’s wrong?"

Luna Sutton slipped off the wolf’s back, the Invisibility Cloak tied around her neck, fluttering loudly in the wind.

Her body flickered in the night, as if she were a ghost.

Zeke Veridian transformed into his human form and followed her, seeing this scene and twitching at the corners of his mouth, but knowing what’s going on.

Not frightened, it was just oddly amusing.

Luna Sutton trotted over, crouching in front of a plant, gently parting the stalks, and a dozen plump grains rolled into her palm.

It really was wild rice.

She rubbed her hands together, instantly shelling them to reveal the white, crystalline rice inside, plump and translucent.

Rice, it truly is rice, just thinking about having white rice to eat in the future made her hands tremble with excitement, feeling her stomach growling.

Ever since crossing over, it was either roast meat or fish, or various stews of meat.

Though the taste was alright and it filled the stomach.

But not eating rice always made her feel uneasy, that feeling was indescribable.

In short, it was uncomfortable.

"Luna, do you recognize this?"

Zeke Veridian leaned over to sniff it, "This stuff exists in The Lower Domain, we call it bird food, The Avian Tribe loves eating it."

She suddenly looked at Zeke Veridian, "There’s rice in The Lower Domain? Where have you seen it? Why didn’t you say so earlier?"

Her voice raised considerably.

Zeke Veridian was startled by her sudden excitement, innocently touched his nose, "There’s some in the valley west of The Avian Tribe, and the swamp east of the Aerian Tribe, it can’t fill the stomach, just feed birds, so we call it bird food, you didn’t ask me, I didn’t say."

Luna Sutton: "..."

Alright, she hadn’t asked.

Her excited heart gradually calmed down, but the eagerness in her eyes did not diminish.

She looked at the rice in her palm, as if she could already see the fragrant rice.

"Zeke Veridian, do you know that this rice can be made into a very delicious food?"

She tried to explain the appeal of rice to Zeke Veridian.

Zeke Veridian looked at her, a puzzled expression, "Can this stuff be that tasty? We Beastmen prefer meat."

Luna Sutton smiled, "Just wait, once I make it, you’ll certainly like it."

She turned to look at the golden rice field, full of joy, beyond happy.

Glancing around, estimating at least two or three acres, wild rice, growing sparse.

But the quantity was considerable, enough to eat for a while, can also save some as seeds.

She rubbed the bronze ring on her left hand, a reward from the system when Mael Valerius’s favorability maxed out.

Inside was a space.

She had gone in and seen, inside a wooden house, a Spiritual Spring, and two or three acres of land.

Although not large in area, it was a space, storing things was certainly no problem.

And the rice could be cultivated inside the space.

Upon returning to The Lower Domain, the land can be cultivated.

Luna Sutton began envisioning the days ahead, planning to finish things here and then return.

Also, she had stirred The Phoenix Clan into chaos, surely they were searching for her, it wasn’t appropriate to stay in Aetheria.

"Zeke Veridian, help me harvest this rice, we’ll take it back, remember to cut from the root."

She subdued her excitement, telling Zeke Veridian.

Dried straw has its uses, seems like raw material for paper.

It can also be used for bedding.

Zeke Veridian never refused her requests, nodded slightly, "Okay."

Then transformed back, his giant wolf paw lightly swiping, harvesting a large patch of rice.

Luna Sutton took out a kitchen knife from the system backpack, bent over, and started harvesting rice.

The cut rice stalks stacked neatly to the side, then stored in space.

Zeke Veridian noticed the piles of rice suddenly vanished, looked at her puzzled: "Luna, where’s the rice?"

She smiled proudly, raising the bronze ring on her left hand, "It’s all here."

Zeke Veridian’s favorability was already at 95, at this stage, he would essentially not betray her, so it was fine to tell.

Zeke Veridian looked at the ordinary ring, expression astonished, "What’s this?"

"Space Ring."

Luna Sutton happily explained, "A treasure that can hold many things, I accidentally picked it up."

Zeke Veridian was amazed, never knowing such a treasure existed, let alone in Luna’s possession, "It seems a gift from The Beast God."

She froze slightly, thinking these Beastmen were superstitious, attributing everything to The Beast God.

She smiled lightly, not explaining, which, in Zeke Veridian’s view, was assent.

Then the two continued harvesting rice silently.

This valley had a lot of rice, at least two or three acres, by the time they finished harvesting, it was already morning.

Then returned to The Redstone Gorge where they originally stayed.

...

The Phoenix Clan, after a night of brewing.

The poisoning of Celestia Fawkes quickly spread, the entire Phoenix Clan was in an uproar.

"It must have been that female from The Lower Domain!"

"She stole the Great Witch’s The Golden Silkworm King, and poisoned Lady Sylvan."

"We absolutely cannot let her go!"

...

Amidst the agitation, Soren Phoenix stood leaning alone against a sycamore tree, a complicated expression.

He recalled the beautiful female he had stunned, and her panicked appearance when fleeing.

"Was it really her?"

Soren Phoenix murmured, his mind torn.

If she really did steal The Golden Silkworm King and poison his little sister, how should he handle it?

Kill her? Or capture her to reveal the whereabouts of The Golden Silkworm King?

He rubbed his brow irritably, feeling that this was the first time things seemed so difficult.

"Young Master."

A respectful voice suddenly came from behind.

Soren Phoenix turned to see it was an elder from the clan, "What’s the matter?"

"The clansmen are already gathered, ready to go to The Lower Domain to eliminate The Wolf Tribe."

The elder reported solemnly, a vicious gleam in his eye.

Soren Phoenix’s expression tightened, "Who ordered you to act like this?"

"The Great Witch."

The elder answered matter-of-factly.

Then added, "The Great Witch said, to wipe out The Wolf Tribe, then capture their family, once the news spreads, that female won’t be able to avoid appearing."

Soren Phoenix felt his heart sink, the Fiery Red Feather Robe rustled in the morning breeze.

He suddenly clenched the Fire Jade Pendant at his waist, a glimmer of cold in his almond-shaped eyes: "Nonsense! Relay my orders, everyone stand down."

The elder looked troubled: "But the Great Witch said..."

"The Great Witch?"

Soren Phoenix sneered, crushing the Fire Jade Pendant to pieces in his palm, "Who’s really in charge of The Phoenix Clan?"

Morning light illuminated his handsome profile, the elder fell silent, overwhelmed.

Soren Phoenix swirled his robes, turning sharply, the feather robe tracing a dazzling arc: "Go tell the Great Witch that I will handle The Golden Silkworm King matter. If anyone dares to act rashly..."

He glanced coldly at the elder, his tone chilling: "They can taste the Phoenix True Fire’s wrath."

The elder’s face turned pale, not daring to stay any longer, fleeing in haste.
