Finally, on a stuffy, hot night, Gu Mengmeng was woken up by a noisy fight.
When she opened her eyes, she realized that Elvis had entered his fighting form while Lea was guarding at the entrance of the stone castle, with Hede and Jialue behind.
Elvis was guarding at a step away from Gu Mengmeng, carefully looking out for any motions in the surrounding.
“What’s wrong?”
Gu Mengmeng lowered her volume, everything here had an eerie feeling, making her feel suffocated.
Elvis turned around, looked at Gu Mengmeng and smiled. He said, “It’s alright, continue your sleep.”
Gu Mengmeng sat up and did not know whether to laugh or get annoyed, she said, “The atmosphere here is like that in the graveyard, how can someone fall back to sleep? Tell me what’s wrong.”
Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng into his arms and said, “I suspect that enemies have invaded, but it’s strange…”
Gu Mengmeng frowned and asked, “Invaded? The stray beasts?”
Elvis shook his head and said, “We are not sure yet.”
Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath and said, “Come, let’s go to Sandy’s place.”
Elvis did not say anything further and followed what she said.
Gu Mengmeng was at the peak of the Beast World, no enemies of any kind could her a single bit, but it would be a different story to take advantage of her loved ones.
As Lea had said, you should always hide your weaknesses behind your back.
When Elvis was carrying Gu Mengmeng out, Lea brought Hede and Jialue along with them.
When they reached Sandy’s house, Gu Mengmeng felt her blood froze.
Sandy was curled up in one corner with the six little ones in her arms. Beside her was Bode, whom was covered with blood but still protecting Sandy and the children with his last breath.
The other partners had been beaten to their original form, piling up like blood-soaked corpses at the door. Someone was sitting on top of the mountain of ‘corpses’ — Cole.
Without further words, Gu Mengmeng sprinted to Sandy’s side and guarded Sandy behind her back. Gu Mengmeng then stared at Cole cautiously and shouted, “Lea.”
Lea understood her signal and brought Hede and Jialue to Sandy’s side. He said, “The two of you, protect your mother-in-law and your little brothers.”
Hede nodded his head and remained silent.
Jialue squinted his eyes, glanced at Cole whom was resembling Death himself and remained quiet too.
He knew that if Hede and him joined in the fight with their strengths, they would only be burdens to the rest.
Lea wanted them to stay with Sandy and not go anywhere else, so that they could be protected together in the case of a wild fight.
Jialue was taught by Lea from young and Lea trusted in him. Although he would sometimes say things that make others speechless, he could be depend on in crucial times.
So Lea did not waste time explaining, bent down and started treating the wounds on Bode.
Gu Mengmeng glanced around. Upon realizing there was nobody here except Cole, she was more assured.
Taking two steps forward, Gu Mengmeng was so angry that she started smiling. She looked up at Cole and said, “You should have known, family and friends are my weaknesses, if you do it the right way, you can threaten me and put me into difficult circumstances. But if you really injure them, I will go crazy, crazy until you don’t even have a place to rest in peace.”
Cole raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, “Ah Gu, you are so pretty in your evil and full of hatred look.”
