Chapter 197: Chapter 189: Old Man Providence_2

Zeke’s mouth twitched, “So?”

“So I want you to do something to make me happy too.”

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at him, “I want you to publicly confess to me at the Tribal Square and loudly say ’I love Luna the most’, how about that?”

Zeke’s mouth twitched a few times, his ears instantly flushed red: “…You’re dreaming.”

Saying something like that is impossible for him, let alone shouting it out loud in public.

“Won’t shout?”

Luna huffed, her snow-white, tender foot instantly landed on Zeke’s knee as he squatted to wipe her feet, and her wet toes gently hooked his chin: “Fine, I’ll have Jago take me to The Salt Lake to find Corbin now…”

Zeke clutched her ankle with one hand, his emerald eyes darkening: “You wouldn’t dare!”

“Wanna bet?”

She suddenly pointed to her slightly reddened corner of the mouth: “Once I’m at The Salt Lake, I’ll say…you bit me until I bled…”

She doesn’t know if it bled or not.

But the bite Zeke took just now really hurt a bit, even if it didn’t bleed, there would certainly be tooth marks.

Zeke stared at the tooth marks on her corner of the mouth, his throat rolling.

Suddenly, he rose and bit her there again, “Adding another mark to prove the crime.”

Luna frowned in pain, grabbed the foot basin and hurled it at him.

Zeke caught the wooden basin with one hand, water splashing all over him, yet his emerald eyes were unbelievably bright: “Fine, I’ll shout, but it needs to come with a wager.”

She squinted her eyes: “Speak.”

“If I shout publicly…”

Zeke tossed the foot basin aside, his gaze landing on her round belly, voice husky: “If I shout publicly, when the baby in your belly is born and your body is restored, I want to be the first one to mate with you.”

When he uttered the words “mate,” his voice was so small that it was almost unheard, his ears burning, his handsome face flushed.

Clearly embarrassed beyond belief, yet stubbornly staring at her waiting for an answer.

Luna nearly choked on her own saliva, her eyes flickered, did this sharp-tongued guy finally figure it out?

She pretended to pout disdainfully: “You plan well, even The Salt Lake can hear it resounding.”

Zeke’s ears became redder, yet his gaze intensely focused on her: “Agree or not?”

If Luna weren’t pregnant, it would be his turn.

Her foot stepped on his abdominal muscles, smiling mischievously, “Alright, but…”

She suddenly grabbed Zeke’s collar, pulling him closer, near enough for cheeks to nearly touch: “If you don’t shout loud enough, not enough for fifty people to hear…”

“Heh heh… Luna knows how to play.”

Zeke chuckled lowly, the sound seemed to emanate from his chest, slightly vibrating, with his collar slightly open, revealing exquisite collarbones and a broad, handsome chest, intensely alluring.

He directly lifted her horizontally, heading to the stone bed: “Let’s collect some interest now.”

Feeling the sudden suspension, Luna was startled, instinctively wrapping his neck: “Hey! There’s a baby in my belly!”

“I know.”

Zeke gently placed her onto the soft stone bed covered with dry grass and beast skin, but he knelt by the bedside on one knee, leaned in and slightly rubbed the tooth marks on her lips: “Interest collected.”

She paused in confusion: “That’s it?”

Zeke raised an eyebrow: “What else?”

He suddenly reached to press onto her stomach, “After the baby is born, collect both principal and interest.”

“Wishful thinking!”

She grabbed a soft pillow and hurled it: “If the shout isn’t loud enough tomorrow, all the interest is void.”

After speaking, she pulled over the beast skin blanket, covering herself, pretending to sleep with closed eyes.

In truth, her mind had already begun chatting with the system.

Chloe Callahan suddenly acquired the system, the Charm System, making her sense an immediate crisis, needing to quickly figure out what’s going on.

She furiously poked the system in her mind: “What’s the function of Chloe Callahan’s Charm System? Hurry up and spill the intel.”

The system fizzed with sparks: “Gotcha! This lousy system primarily upgrades by collecting affection value, Chloe Callahan is now bound with ten targets, Beast King City Crown Prince Nolan Sterling, Second Prince Silas Sterling, and…”

The mechanical voice suddenly jammed.

Alarm bells rang in her mind: “And who else?”

“…Also Kian Sterling, Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Zeke Veridian, Malachi Arcanus, Caleb Manning, as well as Mael Valerius of The Dragon Clan unexpectedly displaced in The Lower Domain, who is also one of the original storyline’s male leads.”

Luna furrowed her brows deeply, the name Mael Valerius, though unfamiliar, the mention of Aetheria’s Dragon Clan alone indicated extremely impressive status.

Moreover, being one of the original storyline’s male leads, his appearance is unlikely to disappoint.

Whether Chloe Callahan is bound to Mael Valerius doesn’t concern her, it has nothing to do with her anyway.

But why bind Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Kian Sterling, Zeke Veridian, Malachi Arcanus?

Suddenly a spirit light flashed, catching a system loophole: “Wait, Corbin Crowley and the others are all bound to me, especially Kian Sterling, his favorability towards me is already 90, how does Chloe Callahan plan to conquer him?”

The system’s voice carried sympathy: “So the mission her lousy system issued is to decrease Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Kian Sterling, Zeke Veridian, and Malachi Arcanus’s favorability towards the host to negative numbers. The lower their favorability, the more they detest the host, the richer Chloe Callahan’s rewards will become.”

“If their favorability towards the host drops below -100 and then they fall in love with Chloe Callahan, Chloe will receive the ultimate big prize.”

The system silently added a blow again, its voice dripping with sympathy.

“Damn it!”

She suddenly sat up, startling Zeke who was tucking the blanket.

With emerald eyes furrowed: “What now?”

Luna tugged him by the collar: “After shouting tomorrow, accompany me to Beast King City immediately!”

Zeke nearly laughed from her irritation, thinking she was yearning for Kian Sterling, even disregarding the baby in her belly, his voice slightly chilly, “You’re about to give birth, still going to Beast King City?”

“Is Kian Sterling so crucial, more than the baby in your belly?”

His voice grew colder, carrying a hint of jealousy even he wasn’t fully aware of.

Luna didn’t know where to start, thinking quickly, she suddenly clutched her belly and let out an “Ouch.”

Zeke’s expression instantly panicked, fumbling to support her waist and belly: “…Does it hurt?”

“No worries, the baby kicked a bit.”

She glanced at Zeke, feeling confused inside, waved her hand: “You can go now, I want to rest for a while.”

Zeke saw her poor complexion, his brows slightly furrowing: “I’ll keep watch.”

She ground her teeth, this sharp-tongued guy is even more stubborn than Corbin.

She simply turned over, facing him with the back of her head: “Suit yourself.”

In no time, she was back inquiring the system for insights.
