Stunningly beautiful yet wicked, she begins by conquering eight beast husbands.

Chapter 35 An Unexplained Green Seed
Zheko carried Scarlett on his back as they stepped onto the gravel path.

As he expected, the scalding liquid was as hot as molten lava, and soon it covered the soles of his feet with a dense burning sensation. With each step he took, the burning sensation became more intense, accompanied by a tearing and stinging pain as if a blade were cutting through his flesh.

But thanks to Zheko's healing and defensive abilities, the pain caused by the cobblestone path was barely perceptible, almost nonexistent.

He stared at the door ahead, walking as if on flat ground, his face expressionless.

A fleeting sense of relief unexpectedly crossed my mind.

Fortunately, it wasn't Scarlett who went down that path, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have been able to handle it.

This sudden sense of relief caught Zheko off guard, and a hint of tenderness welled up in his amber eyes.

When he realized what was happening, his expression changed drastically, and his brows furrowed immediately.

How could he have such thoughts! She's Scarlett!
Regret crept into his heart, drowning out any trace of relief. His sharply defined face once again became expressionless as he silently walked forward, faster and faster.

This is used to cover up the guilt that has crumbled inside.

Scarlett, on Zheko's back, couldn't see the changes in his expression, but she heard them...

[Beep beep——]

[Detection of male attraction to host]

[Affection Points +5000]

[Affection Points +5000]

Scarlett was quite surprised to see her affection level increase again.

She and Zheko had walked some distance together.

Sevilla and his group were far behind, long out of sight.

Whose love value is this that suddenly appeared?

Zheko's?
Scarlett glanced at Zheko's profile with suspicion.

Like everyone else, his sharp, angular features gave him a cold and arrogant look, with even the corners of his mouth turned down, a serious expression he was unaware of.

He doesn't seem like someone who's easy to get along with.

They didn't have much actual interaction.

He remained indifferent throughout.

Rather than believing that the affection points belonged to him, Scarlett was more convinced that the system signal was good and transmitted Sylvia's affection points over.

I didn't take it to heart.

soon.

The winding cobblestone path came to an end.

Zheko remained vigilant, kneeling down on one knee so that Scarlett could open the door without having to get down.

Scarlett, not wanting to be impolite, took out the key and inserted it into the lock.

An invisible force of gravity passed through the key and into Scarlett's hand.

The door was indeed real.

Scarlett turned the key and opened the door.

When people are complacent, their perception of danger is usually zero.

and so.

When Scarlett opened the door.

The peculiar smell that hit her made her gasp for breath, and she quickly covered her nose.

My God, there was a sneak attack!

That's right.

Scarlett smelled that pungent, foul, and sour odor from her nightmare, the kind that could pierce her lungs.

But it seems only she can smell it.

Dzeko didn't react at all.

Scarlett's face contorted, and she was about to say, "Zheko, run! This is a trap!"

A flash of white light engulfed her and Zheko, as well as the words she hadn't spoken.

Simultaneously.

White light also surged around Riley, Chiye, and Sevier.

Less than a second.

The white light disappears.

They left the Lost Continent.

……

……

Inside the portal.

“Zheko,…”

Scarlett blurted out what she hadn't said aloud.

As soon as she spoke.

Four pairs of eyes turned to look at us simultaneously.

Scarlett pursed her lips, stopping herself from saying anything more.

They were already standing inside the portal, and she simply couldn't bring herself to say the word "trap," otherwise it would be too unfair to the Lost Continent. Scarlett chuckled twice, gave a vague answer, and said "thank you" to Zheko.

"Ah."

Chi Ye gave his usual cold laugh, turned his back, opened the light screen, and drew the leveling rewards.

After leveling up in the Lost Continent, everyone has one chance to draw a reward.

You can draw items, spirit cypress, moon spirit, rare resources, and more.

However, these rewards are based on the leveling area.

They level up in low-level areas, and the rewards are usually not very good.

as predicted.

Chi Ye opened the small, shimmering box on the light screen, and ten first-grade spirit cypresses popped out, almost like a consolation prize. He casually tossed them to Scarlett, "Living expenses."

Even a small mosquito is still meat, Scarlett hugged it firmly, "OK!"

Riley was even less lucky; he also gave all five Grade 5 Cypress stones to Scarlett.

Scarlett smiled and accepted it, "You pay extra too."

Zheko wasn't interested in the reward and just clicked it casually.

10 Level 1 Lunar Spirits.

The Moon Soul's grading system is more detailed than that of the Spirit Cypress, with a total of twelve levels corresponding to different levels of special abilities.

His special ability is at level four; he can't use level one Moon Soul.

Zheko glanced at Sevier, thought for a moment, and then handed the Moon Soul to Scarlett.

Scarlett looked at the moon in her palm.

It is milky white, round and smooth, slightly smaller than Lingbai, and has the same feel as Hetian jade. When touched, it warms up and the temperature gradually increases, but the color does not change. Only the light flowing from the surface becomes brighter and brighter.

amazing.

After Scarlett looked at it, she handed it to Sevier, saying, "Here you go."

Sevier paused, then pointed at herself, "For me?"

Scarlett's actions were quite unexpected.

There are no time or geographical restrictions on the use of the Spirit Cypress and Moon Soul; they can be stored in the ring and used later without any problem.

Scarlett doesn't need to give it to him.

Scarlett smiled and said, "Your superpower is at level one, so this is perfect for you."

Sylvia pursed her lips and looked at Luna.

He wanted to become stronger, to have the ability to protect himself and others, and the Moon Soul was undoubtedly what he needed.

After hesitating for two seconds, I took it and said, "Thank you."

[Affection Points +10000]

[10000 people who have shown their love]

Scarlett's smile grew even warmer. "You're welcome."

After sending off Yue Po.

Scarlett felt a burning gaze on her back. She turned around and met Zheko's face. She caught Zheko's frown that lasted only half a second.

Scarlett raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Did she offend him again?

On second thought, I remembered what Chi Ye had said.

The original owner was a stingy person. They were short of money and would starve if they didn't earn extra income.

Does Zheko think that because he gave his things away, he won't get extra money?
Scarlett understood, stepped forward and patted Zheko's arm, reassuring him, "Don't worry, I'll give you more money when we get back."

Zheko: "..."

Do I look like I'm short of money?

Chi Ye crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, his gaze sweeping over Scarlett's hands. He urged impatiently, "Hurry up and draw the prize, don't keep me from going home to sleep."

The moment I mentioned going home.

Scarlett also wanted to go home and sleep.

She missed the soft bed in her bedroom, the one so soft it felt like she could sink into it.

I've been highly focused these past two days, and apart from the twelve hours I was unconscious, I've been severely sleep-deprived.

Scarlett and Sylvia together opened the light screen and clicked on the small box.

Saviar had incredible luck and obtained an A-grade item.

[Invisibility Cloak]
[Usage time: 5 seconds]
[Rank: A]
[Attribute: One-time use item]
[Unable to trade]
Unfortunately, it was a bound item, so he couldn't give it to Scarlett, which was a bit disappointing.

Scarlett gave him the precious Moon Soul, but he couldn't give Scarlett anything in return. He was truly useless.

Sylvia lowered her head, her face full of guilt, and dared not look Scarlett in the eye.

Scarlett's gaze wasn't on him at the moment; she curled her lip and looked helplessly at her reward.

A seed.

A green seed that only has a name, but no description.
