The Wicked Female Is Wild and Scheming, Living in a Love Battlefield Every Day-Chapter 482 - 359: Pranks_2

Soren Phoenix’s expression changed drastically, and he spun around, frantically tugging at his feather robe. "Where? Where is the bird droppings? Which damned bird dared to poop on your Clan Leader?"

Realizing nothing was there, he instantly understood that he had been tricked by Luna.

He was about to go settle the score with that girl.

He found that there was no one around at all.

He stood there dumbfounded, showing the same bewildered expression as Zeke Veridian.

Zeke Veridian and Soren Phoenix exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

"Did you hear Luna’s voice just now?"

They both spoke simultaneously.

After speaking, they both froze again.

Evidently, they had both heard Luna Sutton’s voice, yet they could only hear it without seeing her.

Completely unable to figure out what was going on.

Luna Sutton secretly watched from the shadows, unable to hold back her laughter. Her mischievous streak welled up, and she continued to telepathically communicate with Mael Valerius, who was washing his hands by the lake. "Mael Valerius, there’s a snake in the water, be careful it doesn’t bite you."

Mael Valerius instantly retracted his hand, not because he was afraid of the snake, but because it would be troublesome to get bitten.

His dark golden eyes stared intently at the clear lake water in front of him, finding no snake at all.

Then he slowly raised his head to scan his surroundings, his voice dangerous. "Luna, where are you?"

Of course, she wasn’t foolish enough to appear at this moment, nor did she continue to tease them. She turned and headed toward the back of the mountain.

Halfway there, she suddenly remembered something and asked the system internally, "System, who asked me to go to the back of the mountain?"

Knowing in advance who it was, she could prepare herself mentally.

"It’s Caleb Manning."

The system didn’t conceal anything and truthfully informed her.

Luna Sutton was instantly stunned, seemingly not expecting Caleb Manning to ask her to meet at the back of the mountain. What could he want with her at this time?

Though a bit confused, she didn’t stop walking and continued straight toward the back of the mountain.

The back mountain forest was not far from the tribe, and it took just over ten minutes to get there.

Standing at the forest entrance, her eyes swept over the lush trees in front and the thick fallen leaves on the ground, her expression complex.

She was just about to look around for Caleb Manning.

Then she heard a low, hoarse voice coming from ahead, "You’re here."

Immediately after, a tall and slender figure emerged from behind the trees.

The person was wrapped in a black beast skin cloak, almost covering him entirely, with a hood on his head and his face covered.

Seeing her appear, he instantly pulled down the hood on his head and the covering on his face, revealing a face with smooth lines, both handsome and resolute. His eyes were deep as a pool, seemingly hiding a thousand words, just staring at her with inexplicable emotions.

Who else could it be but Caleb Manning?

After not seeing him for a period of time, the other party had lost a considerable amount of weight, grown significantly darker, and gained a few more scars, adding a sense of vicissitude.

Luna Sutton’s gaze instinctively fell on his head, instantly stunned.

Caleb Manning’s fortune was as black as ink, the worst kind of fortune.

Most of the tribe’s people had white fortunes, and the unlucky ones were only gray.

Black as thick as ink, it was the first time she had seen such a thing.

Her expression was complex; clearly, he was supposed to be one of the original male leads, yet his fate was worse than Huang Lian’s bitter life.

With such a fate, his life was destined to be full of hardships, and he might meet an untimely death at any moment.

Luna Sutton didn’t know, but Caleb Manning’s fate wasn’t like this in the beginning, or he wouldn’t have been one of the original male leads, nor become the Divine Beast, the White Tiger.

His original fortune was light purple, similar to Zeke Veridian’s.

However, due to the karma wrought by Chloe Callahan, the endless slaughter, and the innocent lives lost in the plague, his fortune had turned black.

Her heart felt heavy, but her face showed no sign of it as she softly spoke, "What do you need from me?"

Caleb Manning’s throat moved slightly, and he took out a beast skin pouch from his arms. "I heard Malachi Arcanus has had two cubs. This Holy Fruit I got by chance can enhance the cubs’ qualities and strengthen their bones. Give it to Malachi Arcanus’ two cubs."

His scarred hand untied the beast skin, revealing two crystal-clear purple fruits.

The surface of the fruits emitted a strange seven-colored halo, vibrant and gorgeous.

Her expression was complicated. Wasn’t this the legendary Purple Crystal Holy Fruit? It seemed like it only appeared in Animost.

Animost was also one of the top ten most terrifying forbidden lands on The Beast World Continent; few Beastmen dared to set foot there.

Had Caleb Manning inadvertently stumbled upon the place, or had he intentionally gone to pick these fruits?

But she knew that he was repaying a debt, after all, Malachi Arcanus had saved his life.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said he wanted it left for Malachi Arcanus’ two cubs to eat.

Her expression was complex as she reached out to take it. "Alright, I’ll leave it for Barrett Arcanus and Fintan Arcanus to eat."

"Barrett Arcanus? Fintan Arcanus?"

Caleb Manning gently repeated the names. Although he hadn’t heard of them or seen those two cubs, he knew these were Malachi Arcanus’ children’s names.

The gaze he directed at Luna Sutton’s face was intense, his Adam’s apple moving as if he had a thousand words to say, ultimately reduced to a sigh. "Thank Mael Arcanus for me. I owe him my life."

Luna Sutton nodded slightly, carefully putting away the two Purple Crystal Holy Fruits. "I will tell him."

She thought of suggesting Caleb Manning thank Mael Arcanus directly, knowing Caleb Manning’s current situation. It probably wasn’t suitable for him to enter the tribe, to avoid unnecessary trouble, so she held back.

Her gaze fell once again on his head, looking at that pitch-black fortune, and she sighed inwardly.

Such fortune seemed like the world rejected him entirely, and with just a slight misstep, he would end up in ruin.

She couldn’t help but speak, her voice soft, "Caleb Manning, the world is unpredictable, but life is long. Accumulate virtue and do good, gather blessings, maybe... your path ahead will be smoother."

Caleb Manning’s body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

He raised his head, those once spirited eyes now calm as a deep pool, reflecting the sparse light and shadow in the forest, and also Luna Sutton’s clear yet distant face.

She knew.

She must have known the source of the disaster that swept across The Lower Domain was his out-of-control slaughter, that he was the one who ignited the fire of the plague that consumed countless lives.

"Accumulating virtue and doing good..."

He repeated the words lowly, his voice hoarse and dry, like gravel scraping.

These four words felt like the sharpest rebuke in his ears, yet also indicated the only path he could walk.

And that path was redemption.
