Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Bizarre Mission

Kian Sterling had just stuffed a piece of lamb into his mouth when, in an instant, his expression froze as if struck by lightning.

The next second, he spat the lamb out with a “wow,” coughing madly, tears almost streaming out: “Cough cough cough… My God, what on earth is this? It’s both spicy and numbing, my mouth’s gonna be ruined.”

Luna Sutton looked at him sympathetically. This was a super spicy sauce concocted specifically for Corbin Crowley, that scoundrel. Who knew Kian would be so quick, dipping and eating it before she could stop him?

Stifling her laughter, she quickly poured a glass of juice and handed it over, sheepishly saying: “Kian, here, drink some juice to ease the pain!”

Kian took the juice and gulped it down in one go, casting a meaningful glance over Luna Sutton and Corbin Crowley.

He wasn’t a fool; Rhys Blackwood ate calmly, clearly indicating there was nothing wrong with the sauce.

Yet both he and Corbin had been spiced into questioning their existence, obviously something was off.

His charming fox-like eyes flickered over the sauce in front of Rhys and Corbin, and in an instant, he understood.

He raised his eyebrows, squinting slightly with a hint of a smile on his lips: “Cynthia, your sauce is… rather special.”

Luna Sutton awkwardly smiled, knowing this old fox had seen through it, pretending to be calm: “Ah? Special? It’s just regular sauce. Maybe you’re not used to it.”

Kian chuckled lightly, his eyes carrying a playful light: “Oh? Then why do I feel like this sauce was prepared for a certain someone, and I just happened to be unlucky enough to suffer?”

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Corbin and clicked his tongue: “Looks like someone has recovered, but still looks as foul as a piece of rock in a latrine.”

Corbin’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, especially upon hearing Kian’s “stinky rock” comment, his eyes turned as cold as ice blades, wishing to freeze the guy into an ice sculpture on the spot.

He cast a cold glance at Kian, speaking in a low voice: “Kian, are you looking for a fight?”

Kian, however, shrugged with a grin, his fox eyes curving into crescent moons: “Hey, Corbin, no need to be so fierce. I was just speaking the truth. If you feel uncomfortable, you should blame Cynthia’s sauce for being too ’special’, right?”

He wasn’t afraid even if a fight broke out; he had just refined a beast crystal and smoothly advanced to the sixth level, his strength was by no means inferior to Corbin’s.

Luna Sutton, hearing this, thought to herself that this was bad. Kian was indeed a cunning old fox, shifting the blame onto her with just a few words.

She quickly waved her hands, trying to change the subject: “Um, let’s stop arguing, the hot pot is still warm, if we don’t eat it soon, it’ll get cold!”

Rhys Blackwood continued cooking his meat calmly, as if the chaotic scene before him had nothing to do with him.

He picked up a slice of lamb, dipped it into the sauce in front of him, and slowly put it into his mouth.

Eating it with apparent enjoyment.

Though his face was expressionless, the slight curve of his lips showed his interest in the “farce” before him.

“Ding, congratulations to the host, Rhys Blackwood’s favorability increased by 10, current favorability 50, please keep up the good work.”

“Ding, now issuing side mission three, please touch Kian’s butt within ten minutes. Reward: 10 bars of laundry soap and 10 bars of scented soap!”

Luna Sutton almost spat out the juice in her mouth upon hearing the system prompt.

Touch Kian’s butt?

And it must be within ten minutes?

This system mission is getting more ridiculous!

She glanced sneakily at Kian, who was elegantly enjoying the hot pot.

This time, however, he did not use the sauce, eating directly, his fox eyes slightly squinted in an expression of enjoyment.

Luna Sutton was torn inside, considering whether to carry out this task.

This old fox, Kian, if she touched his butt, who knows how he would scheme against her.

Looking at Rhys and Corbin beside her, both expressionless, cooking their own hot pot.

If they saw her touch Kian’s butt, who knows what they would think.

They might consider her a top-notch pervert.

Especially since she had just made some suggestive remarks to Rhys not long ago.

Biting her lip, she decided to go for it, all for the soap!

Resolving herself, Luna Sutton thought to act quickly, using the cover of things, she slowly extended her hand, aiming directly at Kian’s seemingly enticing rear.

Just as she was about to touch it, Kian suddenly stood up, startling her into pulling back her hand.

“I’m going to relieve myself.

Kian casually said then turned away, disappearing into the dark woods.

She was taken aback, this old fox’s alertness was too high!

She looked helplessly at the system interface, the countdown had started, with more than eight minutes remaining.

“Ding, mission countdown has begun, please complete the mission promptly.”

The system’s prompt was like a death knell ringing incessantly in her ears.

Luna Sutton was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, her eyes constantly glancing in the direction Kian had gone.

Biting her lip, she decided to follow him.

Turning her gaze to Corbin and Rhys, she smiled awkwardly: “Um… I drank too much juice earlier, I… I’m going to relieve myself too.”

Without waiting for them to react, she stood up to follow Kian.

After a few steps, Corbin’s icy voice came from behind: “The back mountain is so big, where can’t you relieve yourself? Why are you following Kian? Want to watch him poop?”

Luna Sutton paused, her mouth twitching.

Looking back at Corbin, his silver eyes gleamed icily in the night, seemingly seeing through her intentions.

She internally cursed, how could this guy be so perceptive?

She forced a smile, trying to cover her real intentions: “It’s just… I felt scared to go alone, so I wanted company.”

Corbin coldly snorted, clearly not believing her nonsense.

He slowly stood up, towering over her: “Is that so? Then let me join you.”

Luna Sutton was surprised, frantically waving her hands: “No need, no need, I suddenly don’t feel scared, I’ll go alone.”

Joking aside, if Corbin tagged along, how could she accomplish her task?

Corbin, however, was unfazed, insisting: “It’s okay, I coincidentally need to go too, let’s go together.”

As he spoke, he started to head in Kian’s direction.

She panicked, why was this guy so persistent, quickly pulling him back: “Hey, wait, I suddenly don’t feel like it anymore.”

Corbin looked back at her, a mocking smile on his lips: “Why? Don’t want to relieve yourself with Kian anymore?”

Luna Sutton flushed, glaring at him, muttering under her breath: damn guy.

She lowered her gaze, pretending to count ants on the ground when actually looking at the system’s countdown. Seeing there were only a couple of minutes left, she felt extremely anxious.

Fortunately, with just two minutes remaining, Kian returned.

Luna Sutton was so thrilled, tears of joy almost spilled over.

Seeing only two minutes left, she rushed directly towards Kian.

Kian emerged from the darkness to see Luna Sutton rushing towards him excitedly.

Before he could comprehend what was happening, he felt his butt being touched.

He was dumbfounded, never expecting Luna Sutton to suddenly pull such a move, his cheeks flushed, ears turned red.

However, he quickly resumed his composed demeanor, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: “Cynthia, are you… hinting at something?”

Corbin and Rhys hadn’t seen Luna Sutton’s action, just noticed her sudden excited rush at Kian, finding it odd.

They both frowned, looking back and forth between Kian and Luna Sutton.

Luna Sutton was so embarrassed, digging her toes into the ground almost enough to make a three-bedroom space.

Still, she forced a calm expression, acting as if nothing had happened: “Ah? What hint? I just… just saw a leaf on your clothes and helped brush it off.”

Kian raised an eyebrow, glancing down at his pristine feral animal skin, chuckled softly.

He didn’t call her out, calmly resuming his seat.

“Ding, congratulations to the host for completing side mission three, rewards of 10 bars of scented soap and 10 bars of laundry soap have been distributed to the system backpack, please check diligently.”

Luna Sutton breathed a sigh of relief, patting her flushed face, also sitting back down.
