Chapter 376: Chapter 293: Apology

“System, can you tell whose bloodline I’m carrying?”

Luna lowered her eyes to her belly, absentmindedly caressing it, and asked the system internally.

“Ding, the pregnancy is too early to detect.”

The system’s voice quickly echoed in her mind: “Although it’s not possible to detect specifically, I sense the presence of the Nether-dark Wolf, Phoenix, and Dragon Egg. If there are no surprises, you should be carrying the bloodline of these three.”

As she listened to the system, her eyebrows furrowed instantly, and she felt overwhelmed.

Sure enough, she had the bloodline of that crazy person.

Being pregnant with Malachi and Soren’s child made her very happy.

But carrying the Dragon Egg along with it was extremely troublesome.

She and Mael Valerius were no longer entangled, even the mate mark had been removed. From now on, their paths would not cross.

Yet she ended up pregnant with the Dragon Egg at this time…

“System, is there a way to get rid of that Dragon Egg? Like abortion medicine, can I earn it through tasks?”

Luna asked the system with a frown.

“Host, you have more than just the Dragon Egg; there’s also the Phoenix Egg and Malachi’s wolf pup. If you take abortion medicine, then the Phoenix Egg and Malachi’s wolf pup would also be finished. Can you bear that?”

The system’s voice carried a hint of helplessness as it continued.

It also didn’t anticipate the host would be pregnant with Mael Valerius’s Dragon seed at this time; it felt like a dramatic soap opera.

Her fingertips unconsciously tightened as she gazed at her belly.

The system was right; she couldn’t bear that.

No matter how much she despised Mael, she couldn’t risk the other two’s children.

Not to mention whether Soren and Malachi would accept it; she herself couldn’t do it.

“Forget it.”

Luna massaged her temples, sighing with helplessness: “I’ll just keep it for now.”

Although Corbin couldn’t hear her conversation with the system, he noted the changes in her expression and asked in confusion, “Luna, your face looks terrible. Are you not feeling well? Should I carry you back to the shelter to rest?”

She immediately snapped back to reality, managing a smile as she met his concerned gaze: “I’m fine, just a bit tired.”

Upon hearing she was tired, without a word, Corbin scooped her up in his arms, his silver eyes scanning the witch doctor: “I’ll take her back to rest first.”

The witch doctor nodded slightly, handing two doses of pregnancy stabilizing medicine to Zeke, instructing him to brew one dose for Luna morning and evening.

Zeke nodded, took the medicine bag, and followed Corbin.

Kian glanced at the medicine bag in Zeke’s hand, his gaze flickering, but he said nothing, turning to prepare food.

…

The new furnace was already constructed, with substantial copper refined from malachite.

The impurities in the brass ore were cleansed away, transforming entirely into blocks of brass, which were then crafted into various copper tools.

Copper mirrors, copper basins, copper pots, copper pans, and assorted copper accessories like hairpins.

As the items were crafted, they were distributed according to quantity to the tribe’s beastmen and females.

Maya was currently holding a freshly made copper mirror up, admiring her reflection with great delight, “Wow, is this what a copper mirror looks like? It’s so clear; I won’t need to use the lake water for dressing anymore.”

Then she spun around with the copper mirror, sunlight reflecting off its surface into dazzling patches, nearly blinding Luna.

Luna’s eyes gleamed momentarily; when the copper products were first crafted, they were delivered to her first, including a copper mirror.

Yet despite the copper mirror, she preferred the glass mirrors of later generations, those were truly clear.

Zeke followed with the medicine bag, his green gaze sweeping over Maya’s ecstatic expression, snorting coldly: “Surprising, she’s not being passive-aggressive today?”

Luna understood he meant Maya; after Maya finished admiring herself, she carefully wrapped the copper mirror in animal hide, storing it like a treasure, unable to hide her joy.

Corbin didn’t pause, his silver eyes glanced at Maya, “Why bother with her?”

The three were about to walk straight past.

When Maya suddenly ran over with the wrapped copper mirror, blocking Corbin and Luna’s path, looking hesitant as if she wanted to say something.

Corbin frowned, ready to speak up.

Only to see Maya bite her lip, suddenly bow towards Luna, face flushed: “I was wrong before…”

She clutched the copper mirror tightly, seeming embarrassed, “Thank you for letting everyone use such great items; I shouldn’t have been jealous.”

Luna raised an eyebrow at her, surprised.

Maya had repeatedly schemed against her and bad-mouthed her, much like her sister Mia, she was detestable.

Yet she couldn’t be bothered to retaliate.

And now she voluntarily apologized, what a surprise.

Corbin narrowed his eyes at Maya: “Did you take the wrong medicine today?”

“…”

Maya’s face flushed bright red, extremely awkward: “I’m just… just here to apologize.”

Luna patted Corbin’s arm, signaling for him to let her down.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, her stomach churned.

She suppressed the discomfort, raising an eyebrow at Maya: “If I remember correctly, your father Alan was killed by my brother, and your sister Mia also died by my hand. Don’t you hate me?”

The voice became profound as the conversation progressed.

Maya Miller tightened her grip on the copper mirror, her expression complicated, “Father cheated on Matron, and his death was deserved. As for my sister… she brought it upon herself.”

She didn’t have much feeling for Alan Veridian, aside from being slightly sad at first, but later she felt it didn’t matter.

As for that despicable female Mia, it’s better off dead.

The only reason she targeted Luna Sutton was because she thought Luna Sutton was so ugly yet had five top-notch Beast Husbands.

Even though they were born of the same mother, both children of Quinn Morgan, just because her father was the leader, her treatment was a thousand times better than her own.

Driven by jealousy, she found Luna Sutton displeasing everywhere.

It had nothing to do with Mia or Alan Veridian.

Now, under Luna Sutton’s leadership, The Wolf Tribe was thriving.

Brick and tile houses, pottery, various iron tools, various copper tools, and all kinds of delicious food.

These were things she used to not even dare to dream of.

Although Maya’s heart was filled with jealousy, she had to admit Luna Sutton was truly amazing.

Luna Sutton found it amusing to see Maya looking so nervous, clutching the copper mirror tightly.

Actually, Maya hadn’t really done anything excessive to her.

It was just some sarcastic remarks and jealous comments.

She hadn’t actually taken action to harm her, just minor annoyances.

“Does the copper mirror reflect clearly?”

She intentionally asked.

Upon hearing this, Maya seemed less tense, happily replying, “Much clearer than the lake water, it shows even my eyelashes clearly, and it’s very convenient and easy to use.”

While speaking, she affectionately stroked the copper mirror in her arms, “If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have been able to use such good things.”

Although she was petty and loved to be jealous, she did know the difference between right and wrong.

Zeke Veridian mocked, carrying a medicine bundle, “Now you’re trying to get on her good side.”

“I…”

Maya’s face flushed instantly, and she was too embarrassed to speak.

“Alright, let bygones be bygones, I won’t hold it against you.”

Luna Sutton waved her hand dismissively and walked away.

Whether Maya’s apology was sincere or not, she didn’t care.

In her eyes, Maya was just a small figure, not worth the effort of concern.

Corbin Crowley and Zeke Veridian gave Maya a deep look and said nothing, only following Luna Sutton.

Maya breathed a sigh of relief, turned to watch the three of them leave, and thought life would get better, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Then she also walked away.

……

Back in the shelter, Luna Sutton leaned on a pile of raised animal skins, watching the three men bustling around.

Corbin Crowley brought a copper basin of warm water, gently wiping her face.

Zeke Veridian hung the newly woven curtain on the window to block the wind.

Kian Sterling carefully cooled a bowl of rich meat porridge.

“You guys…”

Just as she started to speak, Kian Sterling fed her a spoonful of porridge.

“Don’t talk, eat first.”

Kian Sterling smiled gently, but his eyes carried an unyielding force.

Zeke Veridian glanced over, reminding with a frown, “Feed her slowly, she just threw up; it’s better to add some sour fruit to it.”

Kian Sterling chuckled lightly, “Let her eat sour fruit after the porridge, putting it directly in makes the taste odd.”

Luna Sutton took the porridge from Kian Sterling herself, “I’m just pregnant, not paralyzed, let me do it.”

Drinking on her own was far more satisfying, being fed was truly uncomfortable.

Kian Sterling smiled faintly, not forcing her, and let go.

He reminded her carefully for a couple of things, then went on to do other tasks.

The upcoming days, Luna Sutton enjoyed a life of luxury.

The men handled all the trivial matters, she only needed to give orders.

Malachi Arcanus tirelessly picked sour fruit for her daily, and was responsible for hunting.

Corbin Crowley was very busy, not only overseeing the Beastmen building houses but also watching over the smelting area.

Zeke Veridian busily ran about every day, occasionally making time to see her.

Kian Sterling took care of her meals, and at other times, was busy with various things, such as arranging the tribe’s livestock feeding.

Rhys Blackwood and Soren Phoenix had not been in the tribe, not returning for several days; she wondered where they were hiding out during their estrus periods.

To be honest, she was quite worried, unsure how they would endure this.
