Chapter 150: Chapter 150: The Fox Slacking Off

Corbin Crowley and Rhys Blackwood sped quickly toward The Salt Lake, like a gust of wind.

By the time they reached Cliffbottom Salt Lake, it was already sunset.

The afterglow of the sunset cast over the salt lake, the surface of the lake glimmering with golden ripples, and the air was filled with a faint salty scent.

Luna Sutton leaped off Corbin’s back, the breeze lifting her long hair to reveal a delicate face.

Her skin was fair, her figure slender and firm, with a waist that seemed to fit perfectly in a hold, voluptuous, flawless enough to make anyone unable to look away.

Corbin and Rhys’s gaze simultaneously fell on her, a hint of admiration flashing in their eyes.

Corbin’s silver eyes flickered, his Adam’s apple moved, and he spoke in a deep voice, “You… seem to have gotten thinner?”

Yet all the more captivating.

Rhys’s gaze lingered on her for a moment before quickly averting, the tips of his ears slightly red.

His usually indifferent voice held a slight tremor, “That’s good.”

Luna Sutton curved her lips into a smile, about to say something.

Suddenly, a cheerful system notification sounded in her mind.

“Ding, congratulations to the host, Rhys Blackwood’s affection increased by 5, current affection level 73, congratulations to the host for successfully reaching the liking stage, reward: one Body Fragrance Pill with customizable fragrance, what type of fragrance does the host prefer?”

She glanced at Rhys, standing tall without expression, his gaze pointed towards The Salt Lake.

Yet, the corner of his eye occasionally glanced toward her, then shifted elsewhere.

Seeing this, Luna subtly smiled.

This icy face, looking cold as a glacier on the outside, has an honest heart.

She thought for a moment, inwardly responding to the system, “Choose a cool, subtle fragrance for me, not too flashy but unforgettable at first smell, have the Body Fragrance Pill placed directly in my mouth.”

Having it delivered to the system backpack and taking it out to eat would be more of a hassle.

After all, she plans to consume it sooner or later.

“Ding, host successfully selected, Body Fragrance Pill has been placed in host’s mouth, fragrance: cool, subtle aroma, like a pine forest after the snow, fresh with a hint of warmth, detectable only in close proximity, permanently effective, host may consume at her convenience.”

Instantly, Luna felt a pill in her mouth, knowing it was the Body Fragrance Pill, she swallowed it and quickly digested it.

She lightly sniffed.

Indeed, there was a wisp of elusive fragrance in the air, gently enveloping her, neither too strong nor too faint, like an inherent scent.

Unless someone purposely moved closer, it can’t be detected.

“Let’s head over.”

She casually called to the two men beside her and started walking toward the salt lake.

Corbin and Rhys followed suit.

Just as the three approached the salt lake, they spotted Malachi Arcanus directing the beastmen to gather salt, his expression tinged with irritation and impatience.

“Everyone, move faster, we must separate and collect the dried salt before sunset, as the dew at night might dissolve it.”

Luna Sutton looked at Malachi, inwardly remarking: such a fiery temperament, even directing work as if he were fighting.

She walked over, smilingly teasing, “Malachi, being so fierce, you might scare the salt into dissolving.”

“Who’s there?”

Malachi sharply turned his head, eyes scanning intensely, but froze upon seeing Luna Sutton.

In the sunset, she stood by the lake, her long hair fluttering gently with the wind, skin fair as jade, her waist slender, her figure perfect, seemingly gilded with a layer of golden light, unreal in beauty.

“…Luna Sutton?”

His Adam’s apple moved, voice unsure?

How did she become thinner, yet so stunning?

“Ding! Congratulations to the host, Malachi Arcanus’s affection level increased by 5, current affection level 60, successfully reached the favorable stage, reward: host received a set of house-building tools package, including various convenient tools to enhance infrastructure efficiency.”

Luna Sutton paused slightly, inner delight.

Men truly are creatures that respond to appearances, slimming down to the perfect physique heightened the wild wolf’s affection.

Plus the helpful house-building tools package from the doggy system, an incredible reward.

She cheerfully approached Malachi, deliberately teasing him, “What, don’t recognize me anymore?”

Malachi regained his composure, his face somewhat awkward.

Though his eyes couldn’t help lingering on her for a few more seconds, “You… are thinner.”

“Hmm, thinner, do I look good?”

She blinked, deliberately leaning closer to Malachi, her lips curled playfully.

Malachi’s ears turned faintly red, his voice stiff, “Not bad, don’t hinder the work.”

With that, he walked away himself, as if she were some feared beast.

Seeing Malachi awkward, Luna Sutton laughed heartily, exceedingly pleased.

Completely oblivious that behind her, the two men were already brimming with jealousy, their expressions darker than one another, as if ink had spilled over their faces.

Corbin Crowley scanned The Salt Lake, not finding Kian Sterling, his face grew stormier as he shouted, “Where did Kian Sterling go?”

Luna Sutton also realized, gazing around, just noticing Kian Sterling wasn’t present, her face instantly turned unpleasant.

The expression was like she had eaten a pound of bitter melon.

She cursed inwardly: That old fox is indeed slacking off again.

She quickly walked over to Zeke, who was responsible for patrol, and frowned as she asked, “Where’s Kian Sterling? Why haven’t I seen him?”

Zeke’s gaze fell on Luna Sutton’s now perfect body, his emerald green eyes flickered as if a strange light flashed, but then returned to normal.

He spoke in a cold voice, “He said the Salt Lake was too hot, so he went to the edge of Umbraflow to get some air.”

“Get some air?”

Luna Sutton’s mouth twitched, “He’s a fox, not a fish, what air is he getting!”

Zeke shrugged, his tone indifferent: “Who knows? He said he’s about to be dried into a fox jerky.”

She was speechless and rubbed her forehead, feeling like a thousand alpacas were galloping through her mind.

This old fox, still finding such ridiculous excuses to slack off!

Turning around, she instructed Corbin Crowley and Rhys Blackwood, “You stay here, I’ll go find Kian Sterling.”

After speaking, she swiftly walked towards the edge of Umbraflow.

She searched around the edge of Umbraflow but found nothing.

She immediately frowned and asked the system internally, “System, where is Kian Sterling?”

“In that cave over by the woods, the one you were in before.”

The system replied.

Luna Sutton said nothing, just lifted her foot and headed there.

Internally, she cursed Kian Sterling profusely: That old fox, slacking off right to the cave. Hopefully, he doesn’t spark any romantic flames with Chloe Callahan. Otherwise, she wouldn’t mind plucking his fox fur strand by strand until he’s completely bald, hmph!”

Meanwhile, inside the cave.

Chloe Callahan slowly opened her eyes, and what met her gaze was a dark rocky wall, with a faint aroma of vegetation lingering in the air.

She frowned, trying to remember how she got here, but she couldn’t recall.

She only remembered stumbling around, and somehow ended up at the cliff edge.

About to retrace her steps.

Pearl Vance appeared out of nowhere, glaring at her with hate, emotionally blabbering a bunch of incomprehensible things.

Stuff about her causing Pearl’s demise, stealing her man, making her suffer terribly, dying with regrets and such…

Chloe Callahan’s first reaction at the time was that Pearl Vance had lost it, her mental state was abnormal.

Otherwise, why would she say such incomprehensible things?

She had caused Pearl’s demise?

If she had caused Pearl’s demise, then what was Pearl Vance now?

A ghost?

Later, Pearl Vance became increasingly agitated and suddenly pushed Chloe off the cliff.

Upon opening her eyes, she found herself here.

Chloe Callahan muttered curses under her breath with a grim expression: Really crazy, a madwoman.

Suddenly, a lazy, teasing voice came from the cave entrance: “Tsk, poor little thing woke up?”

Chloe Callahan followed the voice and saw a beastman at the cave entrance, his appearance was indistinctly masculine or feminine. His beautiful fox-like eyes were slightly narrowed, the corners of his mouth holding an elusive smile.

Though his gaze was gentle, deep down in his eyes, there was a hint of scrutinizing, as if he could see through one’s heart.

“Who… who are you?”

Chloe Callahan looked at the beastman before her, instantly captivated.

Feeling that this beastman’s beauty was breathtaking, capturing one’s soul.

More beautiful than a woman, so beautiful her heart was beating erratically, and her cheeks involuntarily flushed pink.

My goodness, this beast world indeed has many handsome men.

This man’s looks and aura are in no way inferior to Caleb Manning.

In fact, he appeared even more gentle and elegant than Caleb Manning.

Her cheeks were flushed, her heart racing.

Kian Sterling lazily walked into the cave, his fox-like eyes raised slightly, his gaze swept over Chloe Callahan, the corners of his mouth lifted in an indistinct smile: “Awake? You’re quite the sleeper.”

This female had a very strong scent left by Caleb Manning from The Winged Tiger Tribe.

Clearly, she was Caleb Manning’s partner.

However, how she ended up at the bottom of the cliff and then drifted in front of him was unknown.

Could it be that The Winged Tiger Tribe discovered the secret of the Salt Lake, but feared alerting the target?

So they deliberately sent a non-threatening female to infiltrate here?

Chloe Callahan, unaware that she was already being suspected as a spy, met his gaze that was fixed on her, her face reddened further, feeling flustered.

This person was too attractive, and his voice was so magnetic, it made her heart race.

But she tried to remain calm: “Did you save me?”
