The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 308 - 255: Candidate_2
The system chuckled, "Soren Phoenix actually likes it when you ignore him. The colder you are, the more obsessed he gets~"
Luna Sutton: "..."
What kind of peculiar fetish is this?
"Host, would you like to bind Soren Phoenix as the seventh beast husband now? If you bind him now, you’ll instantly get affection points raised to 70, entering the ’like’ stage as a reward~"
The system couldn’t help but remind her in her mind.
Her eyes flickered slightly. Since the damn system said so, she might as well use this plan to see if she could max out Soren Phoenix’s affection points and complete the task.
"Alright, let’s bind him."
Luna Sutton responded to the system in her mind. Anyway, she had to strategize eventually, binding early would save some trouble.
Moreover, according to the damn system, Soren Phoenix seems like a masochist; the more you ignore him, the more he fawns over you?
In this case, couldn’t she just do the opposite and act cold to this show-off, and maybe the strategy task would be easily completed.
The system, receiving the instruction, cheerfully completed the binding operation: "Ding! Soren Phoenix successfully bound as the seventh beast husband, current affection 70, reward: host receives an ’Ancient Technique Rice Processing Tool Set’, which has been placed in the system backpack, please check~"
Hearing the system prompt, a slight smile tugged at her lips, in a surprisingly good mood.
An ancient technique rice processing tool set? That’s a pleasant surprise.
Coincidentally, the previously harvested rice with Zeke Veridian was still piled in the space, ready to be used.
Then she remembered Zeke mentioning before that the valley west of the Avian Tribe and the swamp east of the Aerian Tribe also had rice.
Now is already the end of the harvest season, the rice might have already matured, if not harvested, it would be a shame if they all fall out.
Looking up, she found several beast husbands staring at her, obviously waiting for her to explain.
She cleared her throat, about to speak, when her stomach inconveniently growled.
Luna Sutton awkwardly rubbed her nose, "Um, shall we eat first? After dinner, Corbin Crowley and Rhys Blackwood, go to the valley west of the Avian Tribe to harvest the rice, Zeke Veridian and Mael Valerius, check the swamp east of the Aerian Tribe and harvest all the rice if it’s still there."
She intentionally didn’t call Malachi Arcanus because she wanted to have a room with him, and also send away a few jealous ones.
The beast husbands hesitated for a moment, clearly unaware of what rice was.
Except for Zeke Veridian, of course.
Zeke Veridian’s emerald green eyes flickered, instantly understanding: "It’s that golden bird food?"
He remembered during their time in Aetheria, Luna pulled him for a long night to harvest, and stored them in the space as treasures.
"What bird food?"
Mael Valerius stood with arms crossed, leaning against the tree trunk, expression puzzled.
Luna Sutton twitched her lips, "That’s rice, it’s edible, more filling than meat."
Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes narrowed slightly, "More filling than meat?"
The voice was obviously skeptical.
Rhys Blackwood chimed in expressionlessly, "You sure it’s not bird feed?"
"Pfft—"
Mael Valerius couldn’t hold back a laugh, his dark golden eyes full of mischief, "Luna, have you been so hungry from fighting for so long? Do you want me to hunt now?"
Luna Sutton rolled her eyes, too lazy to explain further, with a wave of her hand, directly took out a bundle of golden rice from the space: "Look, this is it."
Everyone gathered closer for a look.
Corbin Crowley pinched a grain, silver eyes flickering, "Can you eat this?"
"Of course."
She rubbed her fingertips, stripping the husk to reveal shiny white rice grains inside, "Cooked, it becomes soft, sticky, sweet, and very filling. Tastier than meat, and nourishing."
Kian Sterling’s pretty fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, a charming smirk on his lips, "Luna knows so much."
Finn Arcanus suddenly leaned over, couldn’t resist putting a grain in his mouth and chewing, instantly grimacing and spitting it out: "This stuff’s rock hard, how do you eat it?"
Beastmen still prefer eating meat.
All: "..."
Luna Sutton sighed, "It’s raw, it needs to be cooked."
Zeke Veridian couldn’t help but laugh, his emerald eyes dancing with humor: "Alright, if Luna says it’s edible, it surely is, let’s just do as she says."
Corbin Crowley nodded, "In that case, Rhys Blackwood and I will head to the Avian Tribe west, Zeke Veridian and Mael Valerius to the Aerian Tribe east."
His silver eyes glanced at Malachi Arcanus, meaningfully, "As for you..."
Malachi Arcanus looked at Corbin Crowley, showing white teeth, "Of course, I’ll stay with Luna~"
Rhys Blackwood cast him a cold glance, "Don’t keep her up too late, there’s work tomorrow."
Malachi Arcanus: "..."
Kian Sterling chuckled softly, the ten snow-white fox tails behind him swayed elegantly, "In that case, I’ll head back to The Royal City first to bring some supplies over tomorrow."
With those words, he gently took Luna’s hand, his beautiful fox eyes full of longing and reluctance, "If this brute acts up endlessly, just kick him away, no need to be polite~"
She immediately burst into laughter, her eyes forming crescent moons, "Alright, I know."
Malachi Arcanus’s face darkened instantly, glaring at Kian Sterling, his voice rising eight octaves, "You sassy fox, do you need a beating?"
Kian Sterling lightly chuckled, looking at Malachi Arcanus, "Just reminding you to be moderate, Luna’s been tired all night, you’re her beast husband, be considerate."
Not minding Malachi Arcanus grinding his teeth angrily, he turned and left with the people of The Royal City.
Kian Sterling, a sassy fox with ulterior motives, didn’t forget to add fuel to Malachi Arcanus’s fire before leaving.
Luna Sutton found it amusing, her expression lighthearted.
After a day of chaos, covered in mud and blood,
feeling sticky and extremely uncomfortable.
"I’m going to the lake to bathe."
She stretched lazily and turned towards the lake.
Malachi Arcanus’s eyes lit up, quickly following her: "Luna, I’ll join you."
Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes narrowed, stepping forward to intercept, but Rhys Blackwood held him back.
"It’s his turn tonight."
Rhys Blackwood expressionlessly reminded.
Corbin Crowley snorted coldly, ultimately didn’t stop them, though still feeling annoyed.
Zeke Veridian’s emerald eyes swept over Malachi Arcanus’s excited retreating figure, slicing through a branch with a Wind Blade, saying lightly, "Don’t overdo it."
Malachi Arcanus waved without looking back: "Got it, you lifeless bamboo."
......
By the lake, moonlight like water.
Luna Sutton removed her beast skin skirt, stepping barefoot into the cool lake water, exhaling comfortably.
The water rippled gently, reflecting her slender silhouette. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
Malachi Arcanus silently drew closer, hugging her from behind, hot breath brushing her ear, "Luna, I’ve been waiting for this day for so long."
She had long noticed Malachi Arcanus following, indifferent to it, allowing him to hold her.
Smelling the blood and sweat on him, her brow furrowed slightly, turning to push him away, "What’s the rush? Clean up first."
Malachi Arcanus, happy as a child, held her and spun around in the water, splashing everywhere.
"Alright, we’ll bathe together."
While speaking, he swiftly stripped off his beast skin skirt, completely bare in no time.
Luna Sutton: "..."
