The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 48: Begging Through Tears

"System, are the effects of the Weight Loss Pill and whitening pill immediate, or do they take some time to work?"

Luna Sutton thought of something and internally asked the system.

If the effects were immediate, she would have to consider how to take them. If she suddenly became pale and skinny, it would be hard to explain.

"Of course, they work immediately."

The system responded without hesitation.

Seeming to know what she was thinking, it suggested, "If the host is worried about raising suspicion, you can break the Weight Loss Pill and whitening pill into small pieces and take a little at a time. The effects won’t be so obvious. Only when you consume the entire pill will you achieve the perfect results."

"Your suggestion makes sense."

She nodded slightly, deciding to follow the system’s advice.

"Host, with the three beast husbands present, it’s not convenient to give out rewards directly. I’ll place them in the system backpack, and the host can check them later."

The system spoke again.

Luna Sutton raised an eyebrow. System backpack? She never knew about this feature.

It sounded pretty good, quite convenient for hiding things.

She didn’t check immediately, mostly because Rhys Blackwood and the others were present. Having chatted with the system for so long already, it wasn’t convenient to keep spacing out.

She planned to check after they left.

She cut off communication with the system and noticed Rhys Blackwood, Zeke Veridian, and Malachi Arcanus had already cleaned their bowls of venison, not even leaving any broth.

Then, they got up to serve themselves, bowl after bowl, even though they had already eaten a large pot of soup and weren’t worried about being full.

Luna Sutton knew the beastmen had great appetites; the stronger the beastman, the bigger the appetite.

It’s not that they truly needed to eat so much; their bodies required the energy within.

The higher the grade of prey, the more abundant energy it contained.

For example: Saber-toothed Tiger, Silver Fire Dragon, Golden-headed Lion Plush, Snow Leopard, Great Unicorn Rhinoceros, Bengal Tiger, Kodiak Brown Bear, etc.

With high-grade prey like these, a palm-sized piece of meat was enough to fill them.

However, prey of such high grade usually possessed significant strength.

Without great power, forget about hunting; you’d likely become the prey instead.

Reindeer were merely common beasts, containing little energy.

However, their meat was tender, with good blood and energy, quite liked by the tribe’s females.

Of course, she liked it too.

Just as she picked up a piece of venison to eat, she saw Saffron Vance running over hurriedly, shouting, "Luna Sutton, it’s not good, your matron is in trouble..."

Luna Sutton was startled by her loud shout, and the wooden bowl in her hand nearly flew out, but she managed to hold onto it.

"What? My matron is in trouble, what happened?"

She placed the bowl on the stove and looked at Saffron Vance, asking urgently.

She actually had some guesses, thinking it was likely the effect of what she said to Lyle Sutton that afternoon.

Since she left, Lyle Sutton would certainly send beastmen to investigate Quinn Morgan.

Judging by the situation, they must have discovered Quinn Morgan and Aidan Veridian’s affair.

Rhys Blackwood, Zeke Veridian, and Malachi Arcanus were eating while listening intently, wanting to know what happened to Luna Sutton’s matron.

Gossip isn’t just a female’s domain; men gossip too.

Saffron Vance took a couple of breaths before saying, "I don’t know the details, but I heard your matron had an affair with the tribe’s beastman, Aidan Veridian, and that Mia and Maya Miller are their children. Somehow the leader found out, became furious, locked your matron in the dungeon, broke Aidan Veridian’s leg, and is about to expel him from The Wolf Tribe. The whole tribe is in an uproar; even the Priest and witch doctor are involved. Mia and Maya Miller went crying to beg the leader, it’s chaos outside..."

Luna Sutton sighed inwardly, what’s meant to happen will happen.

Quinn Morgan’s fate today is her own doing.

"Let’s go take a look."

She glanced at Saffron Vance, said a word, and exited the cave.

No matter what, Quinn Morgan is the original host’s matron; with the current situation, it wouldn’t be right not to look.

Saffron Vance saw her going and quickly grabbed her, "You better not go; the leader is in a rage, and anyone approaching will suffer. Mia and Maya Miller went to beg and got scolded harshly, and their beast husbands got an earful too. You should better stay away."

She sincerely advised Luna Sutton for her own good.

Luna Sutton knew she meant well and smiled at her, "Don’t worry, I’ll only take a look from afar, I won’t get involved."

With that, she freed her hand and left.

Rhys Blackwood, Zeke Veridian, Malachi Arcanus exchanged glances, set down their bowls, and followed.

Saffron Vance sighed helplessly and quickly caught up with Luna Sutton.

The group soon arrived at an empty area in the tribe,

It was already crowded with beastmen watching the commotion, chatting and pointing.

"I never thought Quinn Morgan would betray the leader long ago, having two daughters with Aidan Veridian. The leader cherished her so much; it’s shameless."

"Exactly, although a female can have multiple beast husbands, it’s only with the main husband’s consent. If Quinn Morgan liked Aidan Veridian, she could’ve told the leader. Thinking the leader wouldn’t object too much. Sneaking around, having two children, that’s excessive."

"Yes, the leader is such a strong beastman, no shortage of food, with status; how is Aidan Veridian better, Quinn Morgan must have lost her mind?"

...

Luna Sutton’s group squeezed through the crowd, standing at the outer edge.

It was nighttime, dark, although a torch was blazing, visibility wasn’t great.

Through the gaps, she saw Mia and Maya Miller kneeling, repeatedly kowtowing to Lyle Sutton, pleading, crying as they spoke, their foreheads bleeding.

Mia was crying as if truly sad, her eyes red, tears streaming down, looking very hurt.

Maya Miller was pleading too, but she seemed insincere; her tears were forced.

Luna Sutton also saw Maya Miller pinching her own thigh to force tears.

She couldn’t help but twitch a smile; Maya Miller certainly puts in the effort for survival.

Beside them was a beastman looking about 40 years old, although aged, his face was still handsome.

His face was pale, his left shin bent at an unnatural angle, clearly broken.

It was Aidan Veridian.

Lyle Sutton’s expression was cold, seemingly oblivious to Mia and Maya Miller’s pleas, with no reaction at all.

Nearby, the Priest and witch doctor exchanged looks, wanting to intervene but unsure of what to say.

Such matters weren’t easy for them to intervene in.

Just as the situation grew tense, Luna Sutton suddenly felt a cold gaze on her.

She turned her head and saw Corbin Crowley not far away, arms folded, silver eyes reflecting cold light from the torch, staring intensely at her.

Their eyes met.

Luna Sutton gave him a slight smile in greeting.

Corbin Crowley looked at her bright smile and increasingly less prominent buckteeth, his gaze flickering slightly.

He didn’t give her a cold shoulder either, nodding slightly in acknowledgment.

Luna Sutton was a little surprised, not expecting this man to respond.

She had irritated him so much during the day, his dislike value had skyrocketed to its maximum.

She hadn’t even given him any venison, thinking his dislike would continue.

Anyway, he responded to her, which is a good start.

Considering there was still some venison in the stone pot, perhaps she’d offer him some later?

After all, he is her target; if she doesn’t yield and he doesn’t, how long would this stubbornness last?

There’s always someone who must yield first.

Even if it was a bit embarrassing.
