Chapter 235: Chapter 215: Playing the Victim (Part 2)

Luna Sutton was stunned for a moment. Although she didn’t know if Mael Valerius was telling the truth, she knew it was indeed inconvenient for her to rush forward.

With so many Fox Clan members and elders watching, if she directly rushed to the altar, others wouldn’t know what to think.

It was merely a moment of concern.

Although she didn’t rush over again.

But her gaze was fixed on Kian Sterling, who was receiving the baptism of lightning on the altar. Seeing him being struck down repeatedly by lightning, her heart clenched tightly, her fingers pressed hard, turning white at the joints.

On the altar, Kian Sterling’s bloodstained fox claws were dug into the cracks of the altar, silver arcs of electricity drilling into the bone marrow from his broken tail wound.

The pain made him tremble all over, control slipping away, wanting to cry out but stubbornly suppressing it.

Suddenly a voice called “Kian Sterling,”

This voice, familiar to the bone, made him raise his head abruptly, looking through the lightning towards Luna in the crowd, his pupils sharply constricting.

The face, covered with blisters, turned as smooth as jade, her peach blossom eyes and cherry blossom lips breathtakingly beautiful in the electric light.

Even more beautiful than before.

He felt a mix of shock and joy, wishing to immediately rush down the altar and embrace her.

But recalling he was undergoing the lightning baptism, he forcibly suppressed the impulse.

Then he glanced aside to Mael Valerius, who seemed to also be looking at him, dark golden eyes exuding a slight coldness, holding Luna’s waist tightly.

Kian Sterling narrowed his eyes, though he had only seen Mael Valerius in Torch Dragon form, he could guess the identity now.

If guessed right, he should be the Mad Dragon that abducted Luna from the Lower Domain.

The very one that caused his tail to be cut off.

“So it was you…”

Kian Sterling suddenly chuckled, a tearing pain coming from the broken tail.

The Purple Gold Fox Fire surged violently, forcibly enduring the eighth Heavenly Tribulation.

“Tsk, this fox’s gaze is really annoying.”

Mael Valerius suddenly turned Luna’s chin, his arms pulling her closer as a demonstration, with an intimate and ambiguous behavior.

“Let go.”

Luna’s face turned dark instantly, pulling down the big hand at her waist, taking a few steps to the side, moving a bit farther away.

Kian Sterling is undergoing the baptism of lightning, stimulating him now is inadvisable.

Mael Valerius wanted to stick closer again.

She reversed her hand, wrapping a vine around his wrist, lowering her voice in warning: “If you cause trouble again, be careful I thrash you.”

The man chuckled lowly, allowing the vine to bind his wrist, lip corners carrying a sickly obsession: “I’m not afraid of Luna thrashing me, I’m only afraid she’ll ignore me.”

Her charming face instantly flushed red, glaring fiercely at him: “Stop talking nonsense, or I’ll really ignore you.”

This trick indeed worked.

The man immediately calmed down, but those dark golden eyes still fixedly staring at Kian Sterling in Keravale, wishing to burn a hole into that fox with his gaze.

Surrounding Fox Clan members saw the two appear, all discussed enthusiastically.

“Isn’t this the mad one from the Dragon Clan? Why is he here at Mount Veridia? If his mad blood acts up, aren’t we all doomed?”

“Who knows why he came here? But he looks quite normal, not like a Frenzied Beast at all, perhaps the mad blood in his body is already purified?”

“I think it probably is, Dragon Clan has the Sacred Pool, maybe his mad blood was purified long ago, it’s just we didn’t know; otherwise, Celestia Fawkes wouldn’t insist on marrying Mael Valerius.”

“Hey? Who’s that female by his side? She looks really good, everyone says our Fox Clan is famed for beauty, even in Veridia, this appearance is top-notch.”

“Indeed very pretty, looks quite close with Mael Valerius, this makes Celestia Fawkes must be furious, hahaha…”

…

All discussions around entered Luna Sutton’s ears, but she acted as if she hadn’t heard.

Mael Valerius also didn’t care about being called mad behind his back, anyway, he was used to it.

Mad is mad, anyway, he’s innately mad.

If Luna were not here, he would go mad the next second.

All these discussions, fully transmitted through the lightning light to the altar where Kian Sterling was undergoing the lightning baptism, his throat surged with a metallic taste.

The beautiful fox dimmed a bit, but his lips kept curving into a smile, though the smile carried traces of desolation and disturbance.

“Boom…”

The final Heavenly Tribulation finally struck, the dazzling lightning light engulfing the entire altar.

“Kian Sterling…”

Luna Sutton looking at the final lightning strike’s power, her face changed instantly, couldn’t help but shout out.

As the lightning dissipated, within the smoke and dust…

A tall silhouette slowly stepped forward.

Seven fox tails spread out behind, the Purple Gold Fox Fire swirling, the severed tail surprisingly rebirth a new one.

Kian Sterling raised his eyes, smiling lightly at her: “Luna, I finally see you.”

Before finishing the words, he directly fell, covered in blood.

Luna Sutton rushed over crazily, Wood Element Ability furiously injected into his body, beginning to heal him.

Mael Valerius stands aside, his dark golden eyes instantly becoming pitch black and deep.

This fox, certainly ruthless to himself.

Not only did he endure the final Heavenly Tribulation, but also drew all the tribulations into his body, injecting into one severed tail.

Others didn’t notice, but he noticed.

“Cough cough…”

Kian Sterling coughed blood, weakly lying in Luna’s embrace, allowing her to use Wood Element Ability to heal him, while the seven tails wrapped around her waist stubbornly, the beautiful fox eyes full of grievance, “It hurts, only Luna’s kiss can heal it.”

Mael Valerius punched the altar creating a pit, dark golden eyes swirling with blood red: “Looking for death…”

Luna Sutton turned her head angrily staring at him: “What are you going mad for!”

Kian Sterling suddenly groaned, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, his expression extremely uncomfortable.

She hurriedly lowered her head to check, only to be bound tighter by the seven fox tails.

Kian Sterling’s pale lips brushed against her earlobe: “Luna… I’m cold…”

Mael Valerius faint traces of dragon scales appeared on his body, dragon horn between ink hair started to emerge, signs of turning to dragon faintly revealed.

This damn fox, pretending to be pitiful, at least being a male, do you have to be so disgraceful?

His hands already turned into dragon claws, reaching directly for Kian Sterling’s throat.

Yet frozen hearing Luna’s angry gaze.

“Dare to touch him, try?”

She pulled out a hairpin from her head, thrusting it instantly at his heart, hinting a threat.

Sudden silence around the altar.

Fox Clan members and present elders gasping.

Who is this female, daring to threaten the Dragon Clan Young Master?

Does she not want to live?

Mael Valerius throat rolling, laughed, dragon claw caressing Luna’s tense hand back, guiding her strength another half inch into his heart, dark golden eyes swirling with frightening obsession: “Stab here, stab through… then you can only be with me forever.”

Luna Sutton’s finger gripping the hairpin turned white, the tip already breaking through his chest skin, beginning to seep blood.

“Do you have to go mad now?”

She pressed her voice, trembling.

Even her hand was shaking.

Mael Valerius suddenly licked away the blood splashed on her hand back, dark golden eyes squinting into fine lines: “I’m much madder than this fox… hasn’t Luna always known?”

Kian Sterling’s fox tails suddenly tightened around her waist, “Luna, let’s not pay him attention, shall we find a place to talk?”

The fire within Luna Sutton dissipated mostly, putting the hairpin away.

Mael Valerius also drew back the dragon claw gripping Kian Sterling’s neck, the voice coldly intimidating: “Release your filthy tails.”

Kian Sterling chuckled, lips pale, eyes deliberately provoking: “Luna is my partner, I’m entangle my partner, what’s it got to do with you?”

Seven tails tightened more, almost encasing Luna in a cocoon.

Then blinked at Luna, expression confusedly asked: “Luna, who is he, how come even interfering with partners being close? Does he live by the sea?”

This remark learned from Luna, criticizing without curse words.
