Chapter 356: Chapter 281: Why Are You Crying? (Part 2)

Zeke was as sharp-tongued as ever. Even though he was comforting someone, his words were still laced with disdain.

She lowered her eyes, unable to resist asking, “Did you know all along that I wasn’t the original?”

Zeke’s movements froze instantly.

Outside the cave, Corbin Crowley’s deep voice echoed, “Did you really think, Luna, that we wouldn’t notice even if the soul of the one beside us in bed had changed?”

She looked up towards the entrance of the mine.

Corbin’s tall silhouette emerged against the light, his silver eyes swirling with dark undercurrents she had never seen before. “I started suspecting from the moment you kicked me off the stone bed that first time, almost causing me to become sterile.”

Luna Sutton was momentarily stunned. She kicked Corbin off the stone bed the first time?

Wasn’t that when she had just come over, and the original had drugged Corbin with the aphrodisiac fruit?

Because the aphrodisiac fruit’s effects were strong, Corbin, despite detesting her, couldn’t help but want to… do things.

She had just crossed over and had no idea what was happening.

She saw this man approaching her with mocking words, and in a panic, kicked him and ran away.

She never did find out later how Corbin managed to overcome the effects of the aphrodisiac fruit.

She hadn’t expected him to start suspecting so early.

She just stared at him blankly, her expression bewildered.

Corbin captured her bewildered expression completely, a trace of a smile flickering in his silver eyes, “The original Luna Sutton would only try to please me, eager to be close and mate with me. She was the one who drugged me in the first place, so how could she suddenly kick me away? Plus, with the changes in your expressions and the things you said, I began to suspect.”

Luna Sutton just looked up at him, gazing into those smiling eyes, unable to help but ask, “Since you knew, then why…”

“Why didn’t I expose you?”

Rhys Blackwood appeared behind her without her realizing, “You’ve heard how unbearable the original Luna Sutton was. Back then, we were compelled by the leader’s kindness to become partners with her, but internally we resisted and disliked it. As for whether this body’s soul has changed, we don’t care a bit. We’ve always loved you.”

Malachi Arcanus suddenly darted in from the cave entrance, his wild face full of disdain, “That filthy female could go half a year without bathing, covered in dirt and fleas, living in a stinky place, grabbing food at sight, never knowing what being polite means. How could we possibly like a female like that, unless it was Mael Valerius, blind enough to like her.”

Kian Sterling walked in with a smile, casually glancing at Malachi and adding, “Mael Valerius only loved the little female who saved him when he was young. If he had seen and interacted with the grown Luna Sutton, he might not have liked her.”

Fantasies are always beautiful, but reality isn’t necessarily so.

Luna Sutton seemed to be comforted by them, her mood improved considerably.

She thought of Lyle Sutton.

If Corbin and the others could sense it, had Lyle also sensed it early on?

Thinking of this, she felt a little flustered and asked, “Then what about my father…”

“The leader doesn’t know.”

Zeke, knowing what she wanted to ask, said firmly, “No one would believe their daughter had been possessed by a stray soul. The leader would only believe that his daughter has gotten better due to the Beast God’s guidance. If he truly doubted, he would have acted against you long ago.”

Luna Sutton was slightly taken aback and after some thought, realized this was indeed the case.

If Lyle knew she wasn’t the original, there’s no way he would be so calm.

Corbin suddenly knelt on one knee, staring at her with burning silver eyes, “No matter who you are or where you come from, the only mate I, Corbin Crowley, recognize is the current woman who would kick me, scold me, and lead the tribe to better heights.”

Outside the cave, Soren Phoenix’s charming voice floated in, “Oh my, such a touching scene, how could I miss it?”

The Fiery Red Feather Robe swept in.

He lightly lifted Luna Sutton’s chin with his fingertip, “Luna, did you think I’d give my Lifebound Feather to that original ugly creature?”

Luna Sutton looked at the sincere and ardent faces before her, only feeling her heart swell with happiness.

She had never imagined that the secret she carefully guarded had been long seen through by them.

Even more surprising, they accepted such a ridiculous truth without hesitation.

“You all…”

Her voice choked up, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face, “Aren’t you afraid that I’m some evil spirit occupying her body?”

Rhys Blackwood suddenly pulled her into his embrace, his deep voice carrying an intense emotion never heard before, “Even if you are an evil spirit, I accept it.”

Luna Sutton was taken aback, not expecting Rhys to say such a thing.

She was about to speak.

Suddenly, a series of system notification sounds echoed in her mind:

“Ding! Congratulations to the host, Rhys Blackwood’s affection score increased by 10, current affection score reached 100, maximum level, signifying an unwavering bond, awarding the host with the ultimate big gift package.”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host, Soren Phoenix’s affection score increased by 5, currently at 90, entering the deeply in love stage, awarding the host with the [Beast God Blessing], permanently increasing the host’s luck by 30%, [Heart of Ten Thousand Beasts], a permanent boost, gaining an unconditional initial favorability of 50% from all The Beastfolk. [Agricultural Cultivation and Irrigation Manual], reward granted to system backpack, please check subsequently.”

“Ding! Now distributing the ultimate big gift package reward.”

Luna Sutton was buzzing in her mind with the series of system sounds.

She had never expected the previously inactive affection score of Rhys Blackwood to suddenly surge from 90 to the maximum level.

Even Soren Phoenix’s flirtatious affection score had entered the 90s, reaching the deeply in love stage.

Before her appeared three dazzling treasure chests.

She randomly picked one, relying on luck.

The treasure chest burst into a confetti of fireworks.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the [Time Reversal Mirror], capable of viewing the past and future, consuming Spiritual Power to use, reward granted to system backpack. Please check subsequently.”

Luna Sutton was overjoyed, Time Reversal Mirror? Able to view past and future?

It was evident how amazing it was, a truly hefty reward from the ultimate big gift package.

Unfortunately, it’s not convenient to check the reward now.

As the brilliant treasure boxes before her faded away.

Soren Phoenix’s amused voice rang in her ears, “Luna, why are you spacing out again? Were you moved silly by us?”

Luna Sutton snapped back to reality, looking at the six Beast Husbands surrounding her, all showing deep concern, she felt a warming sense of happiness.
