Chapter 433: Chapter 325: Bad Idea (2)

Rhys Blackwood also spoke in a detached voice, “Don’t push too hard; she has a knot in her heart. Give her some time to come around; you can’t force it.”

Soren Phoenix saw this and chimed in just in time, “Yeah, cousin, actually Luna has already softened. At least she hasn’t driven you away, which is a good start.”

Saying this, he suddenly leaned close to Mael Valerius’s ear and lowered his voice, “Let me teach you a trick. Females are most afraid of persistence. As long as you’re shameless enough, willing to set aside your pride, and know how to make her happy, forgiveness is just a matter of time.”

Mael Valerius’s golden eyes flickered, looking at Soren Phoenix thoughtfully.

Soren Phoenix winked at him, placed the Phoenix Egg and Dragon Egg together, and covered his mouth with a feather fan, “Cousin, remember how I pursued Luna? Relentlessly, catering to her interests…”

“Speak plainly.”

Mael Valerius interrupted impatiently.

Soren Phoenix cleared his throat and lowered his voice, “First, you need to hatch the Dragon Egg. Luna has a soft spot for kids; she’ll be half softened when she sees the Young Dragon hatch.”

Pointing at the three Phoenix Eggs, he added, “If you don’t know how to hatch them, I’ll teach you later.”

Corbin Crowley watched them whisper with cold eyes, turning to Rhys Blackwood and said, “Take care of Luna; I’ll go hunt some fresh meat and see if I can find some ginseng.”

Saying this, he had already left the cave, transforming into the Ancient Silver-moon Direwolf and flew away.

Not long after.

Malachi Arcanus returned, carrying in his left hand a struggling ewe bound in vines, full of milk, clearly having just given birth.

On his shoulder was a visibly processed Cloud Deer, drenched, with blood dripping all the way down.

He threw the Cloud Deer heavily to the ground, looking towards Zeke Veridian by the fire pit, “Freshly hunted, quite fresh, stew it for Luna, though there’s no salt in the wild, it won’t taste much.”

Zeke Veridian glanced at him coolly, “Don’t know how to find some scallions, ginger, and garlic without salt? At least it can get rid of the gaminess.”

With a disgruntled expression, he took out a dagger he carried, this being iron tools, and efficiently cut a large piece of Cloud Deer meat, cleaned it, and put it in the pot to stew.

Worried it would be tasteless, afraid Luna wouldn’t eat it, he went to pick some sour berries.

Malachi Arcanus was utterly dumbfounded by the scolding, scratching his head, “You didn’t tell me, how would I remember these things.”

He’s quite a rough man, naturally not as meticulous as Zeke Veridian, only considering capturing the ewe and hunting.

But he couldn’t be bothered to continue arguing with Zeke Veridian.

He tied the ewe at the cave entrance, took a wooden bowl to milk her.

Malachi Arcanus completely had no idea how to milk, simply letting the two lambs drink underneath the ewe themselves.

The two lambs were evidently famished, greedily drinking with relish.

Kian Sterling returned with a mother leopard that was knocked unconscious, clearly having just given birth, and it was unclear where he captured it.

Seeing Malachi Arcanus at the cave entrance, he raised an eyebrow but didn’t say much.

The mother leopard was also tied at the cave entrance, deftly collected a bowl of leopard milk and cautiously fed it to the little fox.

Soren Phoenix found a branch near the cave and skillfully wove a nest, gently placing the three Phoenix Eggs inside.

Knowing his cousin couldn’t weave these things, he generously made a larger one for him, putting two Dragon Eggs inside.

Of course, lining it with soft animal hide.

It was what Luna originally took out and still had plenty left.

Seeing Zeke Veridian stewing meat, he leaned in for a look, frowning at the gamy smell, “Why didn’t you even put ginger?”

Zeke Veridian heard and glanced at him blandly, “If you have the ability, go get it yourself.”

Soren Phoenix touched his nose; he did want to go fetch some, but it was the dead of night in the wilderness, where could he possibly find ginger?

Mael Valerius squatted beside Luna Sutton, watching her weary sleeping face, filled with thoughts about Soren Phoenix teaching him how to please and charm Luna.

Soren Phoenix was shamelessly used to it, acting naturally, but for him to do it, he couldn’t bring himself to it and felt utterly embarrassed.

Imagining himself coquettishly imitating Soren Phoenix, acting flirtatious, batting his eyes, he might as well be dead.

However, if he didn’t do it, there’s no telling when Luna would forgive him.

Soren Phoenix’s tricks circled in his mind a few times, but ultimately his pride firmly suppressed them.

“Ahem…”

He cleared his throat, awkwardly extended his hand, gently brushing Luna Sutton’s bangs from her forehead, clumsily treating it as if it were something fragile.

“Cousin.”

Soren Phoenix unexpectedly appeared, whispering harshly, “This won’t work; you need to do it like I do—”

He moved as if to demonstrate but was frozen in place by Mael Valerius’s glare.

“Shut up.”

Mael Valerius gritted his teeth.

By the fire pit, Zeke Veridian was tossing sour berries into the stone pot.

Rhys Blackwood, who had found a few fragrant leaves somewhere, tossed them into the soup with a deadpan expression.

The aroma of meat mixed with fruit began wafting through the cave.

“Luna,”

Mael Valerius suddenly spoke, his voice deep, “Have some soup before you sleep.”

Luna Sutton’s eyelashes trembled, remaining shut.

Mael Valerius’s Adam’s apple rolled, a trace of helplessness flashed in his golden eyes.

He turned his gaze towards Soren Phoenix, his look clearly asking, “What now?”

Soren Phoenix’s eyes curved like a peach blossom, mouthing, “Feed her.”

Mael Valerius knitted his brows tightly.

He stared at the stone bowl for a while, finally carefully ladling a spoonful, blowing it cool, and brought it to Luna Sutton’s lips.

“……”

The spoon hovered in the air.

Luna Sutton remained with her eyes closed.

Soren Phoenix furiously gestured at Mael Valerius, mouthing, “Feed her by mouth.”

Mael Valerius: “….”

He gritted his teeth, ultimately drinking a mouthful of soup and following Soren Phoenix’s method.

Corbin Crowley returned with some ginseng and after slaying a wild brown bear, drenched in blood.

He approached the cave entrance only to see this scene unfold.

The Mad Dragon was puffing his cheeks, leaning toward Luna’s face.

Corbin Crowley thought The Mad Dragon was taking advantage of Luna, instantly furious, “What are you doing?”

Luna Sutton couldn’t feign ignorance any longer and abruptly opened her eyes.
