The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 273 - 236: Return to the Tribe (Part 2)

"I know you’re worried about me."

Luna Sutton tiptoed to cup his face, "But it’s too dangerous for Kian Sterling to go to Beast King City alone. Besides..."

She blinked mischievously, "Don’t you think you should find a chance to make up for breaking his tail last time?"

Mael Valerius’ handsome face was full of conflict: "Make up for what? Didn’t I apologize to him? I even said I would compensate him, but he didn’t accept it. Besides, breaking his tail wasn’t entirely my fault. If he hadn’t wrapped his fox tail around my dragon claw trying to pull me down from the sky, it wouldn’t have been torn off by me. We didn’t know each other then, and we were in conflict. It can’t all be blamed on me, can it?"

He could humble himself and apologize to Kian Sterling, even offer compensation, only because of Luna.

But that didn’t mean the incident was entirely his fault.

Luna Sutton looked at him helplessly, sighing in her heart, knowing he was making sense.

But she still persuaded patiently: "Alright, I know you didn’t mean it, but now it’s really dangerous for Kian Sterling to go to Beast King City alone. Please, help me by going with him? This way, I can be more at ease."

Mael Valerius still didn’t want to go. He was mainly worried about The Phoenix Clan; what if Luna got kidnapped when he wasn’t around?

As for Kian Sterling’s grudge, he didn’t care about it at all.

In his heart, Kian Sterling wasn’t worth even a hair of Luna, so he didn’t care whether there was resentment or not.

Rhys Blackwood stood beside them, listening to their conversation, and looked conflicted.

He wanted to help Kian Sterling, but thinking about the looming crisis facing The Wolf Tribe, he held back.

That was Aetheria’s behemoth, The Phoenix Clan. A slight mistake, and The Wolf Tribe would be completely wiped out.

Although he wasn’t part of The Wolf Tribe, he had lived there for so long.

His eight serpent eggs were still there. He’d been gone so long, he didn’t even know if they had hatched or how their potential was.

Thinking about this,

his dark eyes gleamed with longing, wishing he could fly back to The Wolf Tribe immediately.

Corbin Crowley, Zeke Veridian, and Malachi Arcanus felt the same way.

In their hearts, The Wolf Tribe was certainly more important than Kian Sterling.

There lay not only their family and tribe members but also their childhood home.

Of course, if it weren’t for The Phoenix Clan planning to destroy The Wolf Tribe, they would definitely help Kian Sterling first.

Seeing that Mael Valerius still refused to go, Luna Sutton suddenly whispered in his ear on tiptoe: "If you help Kian this time, on your night... I’ll let you have your way."

Mael Valerius’ dark golden eyes instantly brightened, his large hand wrapping around her waist: "Really?"

Her face flushed slightly, "Of course it’s true, when have I ever lied to you?"

Mael Valerius’ Adam’s apple bobbed, about to speak when Malachi Arcanus suddenly interjected: "Oh Luna, you’re being biased! I want to help that sly fox too!"

"Shut up."

Zeke Veridian sliced off a strand of Malachi Arcanus’ hair with a wind blade, "You talk too much."

Corbin Crowley frowned, spread his bone wings: "That’s it then, Mael Valerius will help Kian Sterling, and we’ll head back to The Wolf Tribe immediately."

Rhys Blackwood had already transformed into his Aethel Serpent True Form, his black scales reflecting cold light under the sun, "Get on."

Luna Sutton was about to climb onto the snake’s back when Mael Valerius suddenly grabbed her wrist: "Remember your promise."

His dark golden eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Got it."

She smiled and pushed him, "Go quickly, don’t keep Kian waiting."

Knowing the urgency, Mael Valerius transformed into a Torch Dragon and soared into the sky toward Beast King City.

As she watched his distant figure, she suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted: "Remember not to fight with Kian Sterling again, or the deal’s off."

She was genuinely worried that without her presence, the two might start arguing or even come to blows.

A distant, prolonged dragon’s roar came back as a response.

Luna Sutton climbed onto Rhys Blackwood’s snake back, the Aethel Serpent True Form rose into the air, disappearing into the sky.

Corbin Crowley saw Luna choose to ride Rhys Blackwood’s snake back, helplessly following with Zeke Veridian and Malachi Arcanus.

...

When Luna Sutton and the others arrived at The Wolf Tribe, the setting sun had already dyed the entire tribe golden.

Rhys Blackwood transformed into human form, holding Luna Sutton as they landed.

Corbin Crowley landed on the ground, retracting his bone wings, then transformed into human form.

Zeke Veridian and Malachi Arcanus also descended from his back.

Upon seeing their return, the tribe’s men, women, and children gathered around.

"Oh my, look everyone, Corbin, Rhys, Zeke, and Malachi are back."

A female exclaimed, drawing even more people to gather around.

"Oh, is that Luna Sutton?"

An older female squinted, "I heard she turned ugly again after giving birth, her face... has it recovered?"

"Don’t you think she seems strange?"

Maya Miller hidden in the crowd, looked at Luna Sutton’s jade-like, even more beautiful-than-before face, full of jealousy, loudly remarked, "She used to be as ugly as a toad, then suddenly became so beautiful, and after giving birth, she turned back into a toad, now she looks more beautiful than before. I wonder what kind of witchcraft she used, no decent female’s face would change like that!"

Maya’s words were like a splash of cold water in a pot of oil, causing an uproar in the crowd.

"Yeah, the face changing all the time, must be possessed by an evil spirit?"

"After giving birth, she just left those poor kids without even breastfeeding them. What kind of Matron would do that?"

"Such pretentiousness! She was so ugly back then, but Corbin and Rhys didn’t mind, and yet she ran away, causing all the tribe warriors to search everywhere..."

Zeke Veridian’s eyes turned cold, gathering a wind blade at his fingertips, ready to strike, only to be stopped by Luna Sutton.

"Let me."

She said softly, about to step towards the crowd, when suddenly a warm, large hand enveloped her fist.

Corbin Crowley stood by her side at some point, his silver eyes scanning the crowd coldly, "Luna was not born ugly, she was under a witchcraft curse. Now that it’s lifted, her appearance naturally returned. What’s there to be surprised about?"

Saying this, his silver eyes swept icily over Maya Miller, warning, "Anyone who slanders my partner again will be expelled from the tribe." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Chills instantly blanketed the scene.

Maya Miller’s face turned pale as she shrunk into the crowd, but was suddenly dragged out by Malachi Arcanus: "You never used to be a chatterbox, when did you start being as annoying as your sister? You forgot how your sister died?"

He shook Maya like a chick, "If you dare spread rumors again, I’ll rip your tongue out."

"I-I’m just concerned about the tribe..."

Maya’s tears fell instantly, crying pitifully.

"Concerned?"

Zeke Veridian sneered, his emerald eyes frosty, "Hiding in the crowd stirring trouble, did you think I didn’t see it?"

Rhys Blackwood suddenly transformed into his Aethel Serpent True Form, sweeping down a massive tree beside Maya with a "boom".

Amid the females’ screams, he hissed with a red tongue, "If I hear another word, this will be the result."

The crowd fell silent, with no one daring to utter anything about Luna Sutton being possessed.
