Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 268 Lela Takes Scarlett Away

Scarlett watched all this and blinked curiously.

She crouched down, leaned over the edge of the bed to get close to Trenton, and whispered, "What are they doing?"

Trenton smiled, looked at Mildred's frustrated expression, and whispered, "That's called jealousy."

Scarlett, like a cautious little rabbit, heard Trenton's soft voice and moved closer again.

Upon hearing the word jealousy, she asked in confusion, "What does jealousy mean? Can I eat it?"

When Scarlett was five years old, The Miller Witchcraft Tribe was wiped out, and Scarlett lived alone in the jungle for so many years. So she was completely out of touch with the outside world and didn't know what jealousy meant. Listening to Scarlett's innocent voice, Trenton turned his head to meet Scarlett's eyes. Their lips were so close and just a little bit away from kissing.

He was so stunned that he almost forgot to move away.

Scarlett looked at Trenton's handsome face so close to hers and stared innocently.

Lela stood by and watched them. A faint smile played on her lips.

Seeing Scarlett's naive look, Trenton quickly turned away his head, and his ears were tinged with a hint of blush. He raised his hand to cover his lips and coughed a few times to ease the awkwardness. Scarlett asked in confusion, "Are you okay?"

Trenton sat up from the bed, rubbed Scarlett's head, and said, "Don't worry. I'm fine."

Scarlett had been staring at Trenton's ears. She nonchalantly asked, "But why are your ears so red?"

Trenton didn't know how to explain.

Lela, beside them, said, "That's because he is shy."

Trenton was speechless.

Upon hearing this, Scarlett turned to look at Lela.

For some reason, when she saw Lela, Scarlett felt a strong sense of familiarity. She was the first person she wanted to approach at first sight. Scarlett couldn't help but walk over, circle around Lela, finally touched her chin, and said, "It's strange. I can't see your future fate either."

Lela was half a head taller than Scarlett. Upon hearing this, she was also curious. She asked, "You can see the future?"

Scarlett nodded.

Lela said, "You're amazing then."

Lela thought, 'You are even more amazing than the great wizards in the Holy Light Tribe.'

Both Lela and Scarlett were extremely beautiful, and their cute conversation made all three men present unknowingly fix their eyes on them. Sylvester raised an eyebrow.

Trenton was surprised.

Then they saw Lela taking Scarlett's hand and walking out. Their voice was fading away. Lela mentioned, "Scarlett, your clothes are dirty. I'll take you to change." Scarlett replied, "Okay."

Sylvester narrowed his eyes, then looked at Trenton beside him and sneered as she said, "She's quite brave."

He said, "And she dared to take Lela away."

Trenton smirked and knew very well that it was Lela who took Scarlett away on her prerogative.

Beside the cave...

A white wolf followed by a dozen male wolves roamed around.

The familiar scent in the cave was mixed with the smell of a strange man, which made the white wolf particularly displeased.

It jumped down, and when it saw Scarlett's blood on the trap above, a fierce light gleamed in its red eyes.

Scarlett was injured and taken away by a male human.

Without hesitation, it leaped in. Its claws tightly gripped the protrusions around the cave. Then, it jumped out, landed on the ground, and headed north. After a heroic roar, it turned around and disappeared into the jungle with the pack of male wolves.
