The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 386 - 299: Indifference

Mael Valerius licked the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, surprisingly letting out a low laugh, "Well fought."

He suddenly stepped closer, his presence pressing down on Luna Sutton, making her expression tense, "But have you all forgotten who chased away The Black-armored Guard?"

Rhys Blackwood’s lips curved into a mocking arc, coldly saying, "Do I need to remind the Young Master who brought these troubles?"

Zeke Veridian swallowed the elixir, his voice cold as ice and snow, "A Dragon Egg is just a Dragon Egg; with just a slight tap, it leads to such a cruel retaliation, truly impressive might."

Mael Valerius’s eyes suddenly darkened; he knew this wasn’t justified.

But being faced with these people’s sarcasm, he couldn’t contain the fury in his chest.

Just as he was about to react, he noticed Luna Sutton didn’t even spare him a glance.

As if she was too lazy to even look, fearing it would dirty her eyes; such indifference and disdain instantly pierced his heart.

She focused on healing Kian Sterling while extending her left hand, using her Wood Element Ability to aid Zeke’s medicine in dissolving.

Mael Valerius stared at Luna Sutton’s focused profile, his Adam’s apple moved slightly.

Her palm glowed with green light, casting shadows from her eyelashes, even the damp strands of hair carried tiny fragments of light.

He impulsively reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead but was swatted aside by Rhys Blackwood’s hand just before contact.

Rhys Blackwood’s voice was colder than ice, "Don’t touch her."

Mael Valerius squinted, the dark golden eyes showed hints of danger.

About to react.

He was halted as Luna Sutton suddenly turned her head to look at him, her face expressionless, filled only with endless coldness, "If you want to fight, then roll away, can’t you see I’m saving someone?"

Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes swept over Mael Valerius’s hand frozen in mid-air, laughing coldly, "The Dragon Clan has peculiar tastes, they particularly fancy crippling people’s legs."

Mael Valerius’s face looked ugly, internally cursing those Black-armored Guards thousands of times.

Father’s intention was clearly just to teach a lesson, specifically instructed not to cause fatalities, yet they defied orders, indulging in the cruel game, truly deserving of death.

Knowing he was at fault, he spoke no further.

Zeke Veridian’s broken leg slowly healed under the effect of the medicine, his face pale as paper, yet the corner of his mouth curved mockingly, "Back then, we merely gave you a flesh wound, didn’t harm your bones, yet today The Dragon Clan wants our lives in return? And not to mention, you even tried to extract Luna’s soul to kill her, but we stopped you."

The forest suddenly fell eerily silent.

Mael Valerius frowned; when he awoke on Aerock, although there were many injuries on his body, they hadn’t harmed his bones, evidently not intending a kill.

"I’m sorry..."

His voice was hoarse, as if it took all his strength.

Luna Sutton didn’t even lift her eyelids, as if she hadn’t heard his apology, as if it had nothing to do with her.

From the moment Mael Valerius tried to extract her soul, she had lost all hope in this man.

No chance of reconciliation, unless she died.

No, even dead, her corpse wouldn’t be given to him.

Might as well just wait until the Dragon Egg in her belly hatches, then toss it to Mael Valerius, let him raise it if he wants.

She loathed Mael Valerius, naturally, she couldn’t possibly like his offspring, even if reluctantly by her side, there wouldn’t be any maternal love.

Instead, it would just remind her of the humiliating words Mael Valerius once uttered.

Impostor!!

Deceiver!!

Lone spirit, wild ghost!!

Pretending to be my beloved, deceiving my love, are you worthy?

Those words were like daggers, deeply stabbing her heart, making her angry and ashamed, utterly mortified.

Along with his hateful disdainful gaze, and his desperate attempts to extract her soul.

Those memories carved deep in her bones, never to be forgotten.

Far worse than Corbin Crowley’s past situation; that was merely spousal quarrel and conflict.

But Mael Valerius’s case was a matter of principle, one that involved life and death.

Though she believed she shouldn’t have deceived, but had she revealed the truth then, the outcome might have been even worse than now.

Kian Sterling’s injuries had improved significantly, he slowly opened his eyes, warmth yet coldness lurking in them, "If we killed you, then apologized, would you think it’s useful?"

His voice was light but carried endless disgust, "We don’t need your apology; we only need you to disappear immediately. From now on, never appear before us again. Otherwise, we can’t be sure if we’ll resist joining forces to kill you someday."

Those words pierced Mael Valerius’s heart like knives, his hand hanging at his side clenched tight, Dragon Scale patterns faintly appearing beneath his skin.

Luna Sutton suddenly stood up, the green light in her palm extinguished.

She scanned across the companions all wounded and weary, finally looking at Mael Valerius with eyes colder than the polar ice, "Take your dog back to Aetheria, don’t make me repeat myself."

Mael Valerius’s Adam’s apple moved, dark golden eyes swirling with complex emotions.

He suddenly pulled out a Jade Box from his bosom, upon opening, the purple light dazzling, filled with purple Crystal Stones, nearly blinding everyone present.

He placed the Jade Box on the ground, looking deeply at Luna Sutton, his expression complicated, "Take it as..."

"Who cares about your worthless stones!"

Zeke Veridian dragged his not yet healed leg over, raising a hand ready to flip the Jade Box.

But was abruptly stopped by Caelan Phoenix reaching out, "Don’t be so impulsive; these are top-grade beast crystals."

Purple beast crystals are extremely rare in The Beast World Continent, and even in Aetheria, they’re extremely precious.

Not to mention, in the resource-scarce Lower Domain, while not entirely absent, only a few can be found.

A single purple crystal stone is enough for a beastman above the seventh rank to break through the bottleneck.

This box contains at least twenty pieces, worth a fortune.

Luna sneered coldly, the vines at her fingertips wrapping around the jade box, throwing it back into Mael Valerius’s arms: "Take your charity and get lost."

Mael Valerius caught the jade box, his knuckles turning white.

He suddenly knelt on one knee, placing the jade box heavily at her feet: "This is not charity."

When his dark golden eyes lifted, they carried a stubbornness, "It’s a betrothal gift."

Though he had forgotten many things and knew the other person was a deceiver, the feelings in his heart were undeniable.

The onlookers had no idea what drama Mael Valerius was enacting.

It was him who once wanted to extract Luna Sutton’s soul, and now it was him who came to show infatuation and feign deep affection.

"A betrothal gift?"

Luna’s lips curled with heavy sarcasm, "I could never match up to someone as noble as you. I am just an impostor, a wandering soul, and also a deceiver pretending to be the one you have in your heart. I cannot accept your betrothal gift. Immediately and right now, get lost and disappear completely."

As she spoke, her demeanor turned extremely cold.

These utterly humiliating words were once like knives stabbed into her heart, but now they were returned to Mael Valerius in full.

Mael Valerius’s face darkened under the sting of these words, and his fingertips pressed a few cracks into the jade box.

He suddenly stood up and stepped forward, but in the next instant, he was simultaneously stopped by Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Caelan Phoenix, and Jago.

Kian Sterling’s ten fluffy white fox tails silently stood on end, his fox eyes slightly narrowed, flashing with a dangerous light.

Zeke Veridian’s face was cold as snow, his fingertips spinning a wind blade, hinting at a willingness to act.

"You don’t understand human language?"

Corbin Crowley’s brow furrowed with impatience and said coldly.

Mael Valerius suddenly laughed lowly, his dark golden eyes fixed intently on Luna Sutton’s icy face: "Maybe I once did excessive things, but you deceived me first, didn’t you?"

"Deceived you?"

Kian Sterling’s eyes were icy, "If it weren’t for Luna saving you back then, you would still be a frenzied beast, feared and detested by all. How could your mind be as clear as it is now?"

He didn’t know that Luna had fed Mael Valerius a Detoxification Pill, curing several lethal poisons in his body.

Mael Valerius was momentarily stunned. He truly didn’t know this, nor did he remember these things. No one around him had ever mentioned it.

Rhys Blackwood silently drew Luna Sutton away: "Reasoning with an amnesiac madman is a waste of time."

"Indeed a waste of time."

Luna laughed lightly, not paying any more attention to Mael Valerius, treating him as air.

Seeing Kian Sterling’s injuries improving, she retracted her ability from her palm and then turned to check Zeke Veridian’s legs. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The effect of the Bone Healing Pill was quite remarkable; Zeke Veridian’s originally shattered bones were now reconnected.

Though not fully healed yet, he could barely stand.

Luna breathed a sigh of relief, at least not having to worry about him becoming disabled in the future.

She then treated the injuries of the battered Caelan Phoenix. Now, the people present were essentially free of any major health issues.

"Let’s go back; if we don’t return soon, Father will be worried."

She said lightly to the group of men.

The entire time, she ignored Mael Valerius, treating him as non-existent.

She didn’t intend to take that box of blinding purple beast crystals, nor was concerned with that Dragon Clan beastman; whether to kill or not didn’t matter.

Just one of Horace Valerius’s dogs.

Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Zeke Veridian, Kian Sterling, and the others nodded in agreement.

They then transformed back into their true forms one after another.

Caelan Phoenix carried Zeke Veridian, Rhys Blackwood took Kian Sterling, Luna sat atop Corbin Crowley, and the group quickly flew away from there.

Jago glanced at Mael Valerius, whose expression was extremely dark, and transformed into a Spotted Leopard to quickly follow.

He couldn’t fly, so he ran on the ground, swiftly weaving through the dense forest.

Mael Valerius stood in place, watching their silhouettes disappear into the forest depths.

He looked down at the jade box in his hands, the purple crystals shining with starlit points of light through the mottled gaps in the trees, each one top-grade.

He thought she would like them, but didn’t expect she wouldn’t even spare a glance.

What did he ever do to make her loathe him so?

Although he had guessed some things from a few words, without memory, he couldn’t truly feel it.

He couldn’t understand the other party’s emotions.

He just felt the other had deceived him, so his own excessive actions seemed justified.

The Dragon Clan beastman, sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, seeing the Young Master standing there lost in thought, his expression changing like weather, and not even noticing him, quietly slipped away.

If he didn’t slip away, he feared he’d become the target of the Young Master’s anger, eventually dying miserably here.

Mael Valerius stood there for a long time, so long that his legs went numb before he snapped back to reality.

The forest was left in disarray.

He suddenly hurled the box of purple crystals far away, not caring who picked them up.

Then he transformed into a Torch Dragon, soared into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.
