Chapter 264: Chapter 231: Soren Phoenix (Part 2)

After the mischief was done, it was time to leave.

Outside the treehouse, Celestia Fawkes’s annoyed cursing could be heard: “Whoever slapped my bottom, don’t let me catch you, or else…”

Luna Sutton quickly shrank back under the Invisibility Cloak, watching as Celestia charged into the treehouse with her skirt lifted.

This silly creature plopped herself down in front of the vanity, grabbed the flower essence from the rouge box, and smeared it on her face, muttering, “Don’t let that scoundrel get away, or I’ll skin them alive.”

While smearing her face, she kept looking at her reflection in the water basin beside her.

“Ah! My face…”

Celestia suddenly let out a shriek, her face covered with tiny golden bumps, looking as if covered with silkworm eggs.

She held back her laughter to the point of stomach ache, wrapped in the Invisibility Cloak, she took the opportunity to sneak out of the treehouse.

Serves you right for scheming, having that old witch curse me. This is just the beginning.

Once the curse rebounds on the full moon night, you’ll get what’s coming to you.

Passing through the kitchen, Luna Sutton snagged two jars of honey, all poured on the path where Ignatius Phoenix would pass.

“Old witch, how dare you cast a spell!”

She cursed internally, hearing a “thud” behind her.

Followed by Ignatius, the old witch’s, anguished cries: “Whoever did this…”

Is there a better time to run?

She wrapped in the Invisibility Cloak, bolted toward the gorge, knocking over two guards carrying torches along the way.

The two spun around in circles, crying out in terror: “A ghost!”

Luna Sutton suppressed her urge to laugh, floating like smoke in the Invisibility Cloak.

She was speeding up to leave Phoenix’s Roost Valley when suddenly, a piercing phoenix call echoed overhead.

She looked up and saw a fiery red phoenix descending from the sky, its wings spread like a blaze.

From the way it looked, it was clear it intended to land.

She didn’t take much notice; after all, she was invisible under the Invisibility Cloak and was prepared to leave.

Bad luck, or coincidence…

The creature was inexplicably diving directly toward her.

Luna Sutton internally screamed; if the phoenix landed, it would flatten her.

Quickly she darted to the side, but it was too close, there was no time.

“Boom!”

With a dull thud, the phoenix landed, transforming into human form but happened to crash onto Luna Sutton.

Everything went black, leaving her dazed and almost breathless.

The Invisibility Cloak she was wrapped in scattered on the ground, revealing her form.

“Hey, who dares bump into the Young Master?”

An excessively flamboyant voice sounded beside her.

Luna Sutton opened her eyes and saw a handsome face right in front of her.

A fiery red feathered outfit styled extravagantly, a pair of enchanting peach blossom eyes filled with allure and charm, his eyebrows overflowed with charisma and elegance.

She was instantly dumbstruck; who was this guy? He looked quite appealing, but why dressed so flamboyantly?

Soren Phoenix looked at the dazed and beautiful female right at hand, his beautiful peach blossom eyes blinked, his expression full of curiosity.

When he landed, he distinctly saw no one here, where did this female suddenly appear from and got hit squarely? That luck was too bad, wasn’t it?

Soren Phoenix muttered to himself, but his face still wore a suave and charming smile, “Little female, are you alright? Blame my poor vision for unintentionally hitting you, as compensation…”

He glanced down at Luna Sutton, his eyes flashed with admiration.

This female looked truly stunning, her skin pale as jade, her features exquisitely delicate, especially those beautiful eyes, bright and clear like stars.

His heart stirred, blurting out, “How about I offer myself in recompense?”

Luna Sutton nearly couldn’t suppress an eye-roll.

This phoenix was beyond flamboyant, offering himself at first meeting—who did he think she was?

However, she sharply noticed he referred to himself as Young Master.

Addressing himself as Young Master, and his true form was a phoenix—it’s obvious he must be a heir of The Phoenix Clan.

It means the male in front of her must be Celestia’s brother.

She quickly climbed to her feet, picked up the fallen Invisibility Cloak, dusting off some dirt, coldly stating, “No need, if you’re alright, I’ll be on my way.”

With these words, she wrapped herself in the Invisibility Cloak, ready to run.

“Don’t hurry off, I won’t eat you,”

Soren grabbed her wrist, the Fiery Red Feather Robe dazzling under moonlight, “Speaking of, what’s a little female doing here at The Phoenix Clan during the middle of the night?”

Suddenly, urgent footsteps sounded in the distance.

Followed by Ignatius’s old witch’s roar: “Catch that thieving scum!”

Luna Sutton’s face changed dramatically; she kicked out at Soren’s groin.

“Ah—”

Soren’s expression instantly shifted, holding his vital part as he jumped, “Why do you target vulnerable spots?”

Seizing the moment, she was going to slip away under the Invisibility Cloak.

Unexpectedly, Soren suddenly flicked out several strands of Phoenix True Fire to block her path: “Little thief, stole something and still want to run?”

Luna Sutton looked at the extremely scorching Phoenix True Fire blocking her way, her expression was extremely unpleasant.

She moved towards the left, and Phoenix True Fire appeared on the left.

She moved towards the right, and Phoenix True Fire appeared on the right, as if it was deliberately opposing her.

Seeing the pursuers draw near, she was frantic enough to jump up.

She turned and looked towards Soren’s face full of amusement, “Your sister and that old witch want to curse me to death; I’m just protecting myself.”

Soren’s peach blossom eyes narrowed, his mind turned, instantly realizing her identity, “You’re Luna Sutton? That female from The Lower Domain?”

That crazed Mael Valerius had been obsessed over this female for over a decade.

Even smashed the marriage contract between The Dragon Clan and The Phoenix Clan, severing the alliance.

Recently, it’s been said that lunatic even killed The Dragon Clan’s Great Shaman Hecate for this female.

Luna Sutton was surprised he knew her identity, but being anxious now, there wasn’t time to care.

She bit her lip, thinking to charge directly through the Phoenix True Fire…

Being burnt to death was better than being cursed by the old witch.

Probably worse, being captured for refining venomous insects.

Soren noticed her action, raised a brow, astonished, thinking: This female’s guts were something.

Seeing the pursuers nearing, he suddenly shouted: “The thief ran east!”

Then swiftly withdrew the Phoenix Fire and stuffed her into a nearby tree hole, telling her to hide well and not come out.

He swaggered off himself to meet them: “Great Witch, I’ll help you chase!”

Crouched in the tree hole, Luna Sutton curled into a ball.

Through a gap, she saw Soren’s flamboyant red clothing flash by, even blinked towards the tree hole direction.

“That lunatic…”

She muttered quietly, once his footsteps receded, she quickly climbed out of the tree hole, rushed out of the gorge wearing the Invisibility Cloak.

Reaching The Pyreflame Gorge, she saw Zeke Veridian already in his true form, about to charge in, his wolf eyes more urgent and greener.

She instantly lifted the cloak, revealing herself: “Zeke, I’m here.”

Zeke dashed to her side, speaking: “Why did it take so long?”

“Don’t mention it, ran into a flamboyantly dressed nutcase looking like a turkey!”

She flipped onto the wolf’s back, continued: “This place isn’t safe for long; let’s hurry up and go.”

Zeke understood perfectly, leveraging his limbs, swiftly carrying Luna Sutton away from The Pyreflame Gorge.

Amid the night, their figures quickly vanished into the depths of the forest.
