Chapter 267: Chapter 233: Oddball

Soren Phoenix looked at the elders retreating in panic, irritably tugging at his collar.

He turned to face the direction outside Pyralia, the fiery feather robe dazzling in the morning light.

“Little female…”

He muttered softly, “You better run fast, and you’d better hide.”

…

At this moment, Luna Sutton sat on Zeke Veridian’s back, passing through the last dense forest.

The morning dew had dampened her hair tips, the Invisibility Cloak long stowed in the system backpack.

“Luna, there’s a cave just ahead.”

Zeke slowed his pace, his emerald green wolf eyes looking forward, speaking in human words.

Just as he finished speaking, a figure suddenly darted out from behind the rock wall.

Mael Valerius swung his Dragon Tail, wrapping it around Luna Sutton’s waist, directly pulling her off the wolf’s back: “Luna, where have you been? I came back and couldn’t see anyone.”

His dark golden eyes were red-rimmed, evidently having stayed up all night.

Last night he went to The Dragon Clan, intending to quietly grab a witch to cast some curse rebound.

Who knew upon arriving at The Dragon Clan, he was caught by Horace Valerius, berated harshly, and ordered to kneel in the ancestral hall.

Just because he killed that old witch The Sorceress.

He naturally refused, starting a fight with the old man on the spot.

The result was an inevitable beating, and he was forcibly taken to kneel in the ancestral hall for a night.

The old man, afraid he’d escape, watched over him all night at the ancestral hall.

Until this morning, Horace Valerius couldn’t take it anymore, whether he went to catch up on sleep, relieve himself, or eat…

Anyways, he tipped over the guards and slipped away when the old man wasn’t around.

Of course, not forgetting to grab a witch.

Luna Sutton hadn’t stood firm yet before he pinched her chin, inspecting left and right: “I brought a witch doctor from The Dragon Clan, hurry and let him check if there’s a curse, then perform that curse rebound…”

Zeke instantly transformed into human form, his emerald green eyes filled with coldness, “Let her go.”

A Wind Blade from his fingertips flew past Mael Valerius’ hair, finally landing on an ancient tree, with a rumble, directly cutting the trunk in half.

“Heh.”

Mael Valerius not only didn’t let go but held Luna Sutton tighter, “I’m holding my mate, who are you to interfere?”

Last night he had a blissful night, he hadn’t said anything, still daring to make a move?

Really thinking Luna is his alone?

Seeing the two about to fight, Luna Sutton felt helpless, just about to say something.

She noticed the wound on Mael Valerius’ shoulder blade, although not deep, he was indeed injured: “What’s going on, where did you get hurt?”

Pointing at his shoulder.

Mael Valerius glanced at his injured shoulder blade, not in the least bothered: “It’s nothing, just a scuffle with the old man.”

At this moment, a rapid sound of breaking through the air came from the sky.

Before Luna Sutton could look up clearly, Corbin Crowley landed, transforming into human form, Malachi Arcanus jumped off his back, holding a half-dead, clearly unconscious, white-haired old man.

Rhys Blackwood turned into Aethel Serpent True Form, descending swiftly from the sky, transforming into human form in an instant.

Kian Sterling jumped off his back, a charming smile at the corners of his mouth, ten snowy white fox tails gently stretching behind him.

They had just returned from The Aethel Serpent Tribe, still unaware of Zeke and Luna Sutton’s venture to The Phoenix Clan last night.

Unaware that Luna Sutton had stirred The Phoenix Clan into chaos.

Kian Sterling’s gaze swept between Luna Sutton and Zeke, smiling meaningfully, “Luna, did you have a good time last night…?”

Malachi Arcanus tossed the unconscious The Old Sorcerer to the ground, a teasing smile on his lips, “Is that even a question? After waiting so long, enjoying a rare meal, surely Luna couldn’t move afterwards.”

Indeed thinking that Zeke is all appearance and no substance, actually needing Luna to take the initiative.

Really losing face for males.

Tonight it’s his turn, if Luna can even move a finger by morning, he’ll admit defeat.

“Shut up!”

Zeke’s face turned crimson, glaring fiercely, a Wind Blade from his fingertips shot out, slicing Malachi Arcanus’ Beast Skin Skirt strap precisely.

“Whoa…”

The Beast Skin Skirt fell to the ground in response.

Malachi Arcanus suddenly stood in the morning light with bare long legs, a chill under his loins.

The air froze for a second.

“Zeke——”

Malachi Arcanus shouted angrily, bending to retrieve the fallen Beast Skin Skirt, “Are you looking to die?”

Kian Sterling’s ten fox tails flared open instantly, blocking Luna Sutton’s view: “Don’t look, Luna, it’s eye pollution.”

Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes narrowed slightly, subtly moving half a step in front of Luna Sutton.

Rhys Blackwood directly swung his snake tail, smacking Malachi Arcanus’ butt: “Put it on.”

Mael Valerius laughed almost to the point of wheezing, a large hand hooking Luna Sutton’s waist closer, “Hahaha…”

Laughter that refused to cease.

Though he sneakily glanced a few times, finding Malachi Arcanus, the rugged brute, quite well-endowed.

Not seeming inferior to himself.

Although Malachi Arcanus felt a bit embarrassed, he thought all present were his own people, so it’s as if it didn’t happen.

As for Luna, since they’re going to consummate the marriage tonight anyway, there’s no harm in taking an early look.

With that thought, the awkward feeling in her heart vanished instantly, and she calmly fastened her beast skin skirt.

But she glared at Kian Sterling, unhappy, “You foxy thing, put away that smelly tail of yours. If Luna wants to look, let her look. Why are you covering it? We’re consummating the marriage tonight anyway.”

Luna Sutton’s face instantly turned beet red.

Kian Sterling was just about to speak.

Corbin Crowley threw an ice blade that whizzed past his hips: “If you don’t want it, just say so.”

Malachi Arcanus, startled, quickly raised his hands in surrender, “Just joking.”

Luna Sutton saw this and hurried to change the subject: “Where did you guys go last night? Why did everyone disappear?”

Kian Sterling quickly retrieved his fox tail that had been shielding her face and explained with a grin: “Last night, we snuck into The Aethel Serpent Clan and killed a few elders who had hunted Rhys Blackwood’s family twenty years ago, and captured the Great Witch as well.”

Rhys Blackwood glanced briefly at the old white-haired man unconscious on the ground, his expression complex, “He was being uncooperative, so we knocked him out.”

The unconscious Old Sorcerer on the ground suddenly let out a loud snore, drawing everyone’s attention.

Mael Valerius nudged the Old Sorcerer with his toe, “I also caught a sorcerer from The Dragon Clan and left them in the cave. Let’s try them both later to see who can perform the curse rebound.”

Luna Sutton looked at the Old Sorcerer sleeping soundly on the ground, feeling a warmth in her heart knowing these men were looking out for her.

However, as the curse had been lifted, these two sorcerers were no longer needed.

“No need, let them both go.”

As soon as she said this, everyone except Zeke Veridian was stunned, and they all turned their gaze towards her.

Puzzled expressions filled their faces.

Rhys Blackwood was the first to react, raising an eyebrow at her, “Let them go, why?”

She looked at Rhys Blackwood and explained with a light laugh, “The curse has been resolved, so these two sorcerers are no longer necessary.”

Corbin Crowley’s silver eyes flashed with confusion: “How did you resolve it?”

Rhys Blackwood, Kian Sterling, Malachi Arcanus, and Mael Valerius all turned their attention to her, obviously curious about this question.

Luna Sutton smiled mysteriously and didn’t hide the fact, recounting how Zeke Veridian took her to The Phoenix Clan last night, and how she snuck into Arch-Shaman Ignatius Phoenix’s residence wearing the Invisibility Cloak, turning The Phoenix Clan upside down.

However, she didn’t mention the Rebound Talisman and vaguely said she crushed that ugly doll.

Also, she brought back a Golden Silkworm King.

“The Golden Silkworm King?”

Mael Valerius and the others were astounded by her words, clearly not expecting her to not only lift the curse but also bring back a treasure.

Then they thought of how bold Luna had been to sneak into The Phoenix Clan on her own. Even with the Invisibility Cloak, they couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous for her.

As for where that Invisibility Cloak came from, except for Mael Valerius, Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Kian Sterling, and Malachi Arcanus speculated like Zeke Veridian that it was a gift from The Beast God.

Luna always seemed to have some strange, yet incredibly useful items on her.

They were long accustomed to this oddity.

As Luna Sutton was proudly recounting her story, Mael Valerius suddenly scooped her up by the waist and spun her around, “My Luna is incredible!”

“Put me down!”

She kicked in anger, her beast skin skirt billowing in the air.

Corbin Crowley reached out with a large hand and took her from him, “Daring to break into the Arch-Shaman’s house, you’ve got some guts.”

Though his words were reproachful, his eyes were full of pride and affection.

Rhys Blackwood, a step too slow, withdrew his hand silently, feeling a bit displeased.

Kian Sterling watched with a smile, “Luna is amazing and impressive, but it’s also very risky.”

Luna Sutton struggled out of Corbin Crowley’s embrace, just about to say something.

Mael Valerius’ dark golden eyes narrowed instantly, “Wait, you said you ran into someone dressed like a flashy turkey, was it the Young Master Soren Phoenix?”

He hadn’t caught it at first, but now he realized.

Soren Phoenix, flamboyant and always dressed to attract, flirting everywhere he went, leaving a trail of admirers. His flirtatious ways eclipsed even the most notorious players.

He could woo anything with a heartbeat, even if it were a pig, whispering sweet nothings until they adored him.

Turning countless suitors into lifelong admirers.

No one in Aetheria compared to Soren Phoenix’s flamboyant nature.

“Soren Phoenix?”

Luna Sutton curled her lips, “That guy dressed like a peacock in full display?”

Mael Valerius’ expression turned instantly grim, “Did he touch you?”

“He just knocked into me…”

Before she could finish, Mael Valerius’ Dragon Horn emerged, and his dark golden eyes brimmed with murderous intent.

“I’ll kill him.”

“Come back!”

Luna Sutton grabbed him, “Don’t be impulsive. The Phoenix Clan is probably looking for me right now, besides he helped me escape from Ignatius Phoenix.”

Corbin Crowley, Rhys Blackwood, Zeke Veridian, and Malachi Arcanus weren’t well-informed about Soren Phoenix, so they remained silent.

Kian Sterling, having come to Aetheria earlier, had heard of Soren Phoenix’s reputation.

It was hard not to know him, as more than half the females on Mount Veridia fancied Soren Phoenix, and some even fought over him.

His reputation for romance was well-known throughout Aetheria.

It could be said that both The Dragon Clan and The Phoenix Clan had produced rare individuals.

Both were heirs.
