Jialue smiled with a cautious look, took a little step forward, then bent down to massage Gu Mengmeng’s legs, trying to curry her favour, and said, “Heh heh, Mum, you are really accurate at your predictions, you must be the female version of Zhuge, nothing can hide from your beautiful and wise eyes. Mum, tell me how it is possible for there to be such a perfect female like you? Not only are you gorgeous looking, your intelligence is also uncomparable…”
“Hold up,” Gu Mengmeng poked Jialue’s head and said, “Stop trying to butter me up, tell me the truth to spare yourself from physical punishment.”
Jialue naturally knew that Gu Mengmeng would not really hit him because of this matter, and smiled mischievously as he continued, “What I said was not to butter you up, I am really saying it from the bottom of my heart.”
Seeing that Gu Mengmeng was glaring at him, Jialue stopped his playful act and smiled in a well-behaved manner, saying, “Say, I’ll just say it. Mum, how do I dare to hide anything from you? Aren’t I afraid that you may cry…”
Gu Mengmeng suddenly as though her righteous spirit was cut short.
She had only cried because of Chixuan once, just once!
Indeed, its effect was great. Not only did Chixuan return, all the males in her family including her partners and sons no longer dared to defy her wishes. But they would always mention this as and when… did she not want her face?
“I am your mother!” Gu Mengmeng complained.
“I know.” Jialue replied with a serious look and nodded, “Besides my mother, who else would receive such treatment – letting me the Wolf Clan’s young master give shoulder and leg massages – isn’t it?”
“Tsk, you are still fooling around?” Gu Mengmeng gave another poke on Jialue’s head.
Jialue laughed and said, “I won’t fool around anymore, aren’t you just interested in knowing how I had convinced the Wolf Clan to behave? Actually, it’s easy, I just told them, ‘You see, there is already a Daji from the Snow Fox Clan who is engaged to our Wolf Clan’s young master. If Arnold and Sandy gave birth to another female, judging by my mother and mother-in-law’s close relationship, they would definitely not let outsiders benefit from their own… By then, at least two out of four of my mother’s sons would be in the control of the Fox clan and how would there be a place for the Wolf Clan?”
Gu Mengmeng rubbed her gabella and replied, “After you said that, wouldn’t they be dying to kill Arnold immediately, why would they decide to stay silent?”
Jialue slapped the table and said, “No doubt you’re my mother, you’re so smart. You have guessed correctly, the tribe elder of Wolf Clan immediately said that he wanted to lead the members to bite Arnold to death so that everything would be settled. In the end…”
Jialue said, while standing up suddenly and hitting his chest, with a heroic tone, “Your son, I, immediately said with a domineering air of Wolf Clan’s young master, “Hold up.”
Gu Mengmeng was amused by Jialue, who looked as though he was giving a storytelling session, and pinched him, saying, “Speak properly.”
“Alright,” Jialue smiled and bent down beside Gu Mengmeng, continuing while massaging her legs, “I had already analysed the situation to the tribe elder at that time, telling him that even though it is easy to kill Arnold, it might agitate the Fox clan. The Wolf Clan naturally did not fear battle, but there was still a Fox King with the Fox clan. Without the Wolf King, we would be disadvantaged, we are neither afraid of battle nor death, but once everyone dies, wouldn’t it be beneficial to the Fox clan? Moreover, when the Wolf King returns and realises that his fellow tribesman had all died, wouldn’t he become a leader without any followers? As a King, he would be alone and without support, that image… just the thought of it was tragic. How could we allow the Wolf King to land himself in such a state? Can we? We cannot!”
