Lea lifted his chin and shot Cole a look to challenge him. The slyness in his wide eyes was so obvious and his voice was filled with arrogance as he said, “Look, no matter how strong you are, my Mengmeng is still biased towards me.”
Lea had not said something like this for a long time.
As though…
Ever since he left the Snake King valley, he hardly said something this coquettish anymore.
After not hearing it for such a long time, she missed it.
If it was said that Lea was intentionally challenging Cole and did not care about him, then the gentleness in Gu Mengmeng’s eyes was really hurting Cole.
The veins on his forehead jumped. Lea and Gu Mengmeng exchanged glances and formed a common understanding.
Cole had always been skilled at manipulating people’s mind, and he had been in great control of his own emotions. Jumping into a rage because of these simple instigating words… was really not his usual style.
“Fox King, you should return to your fireside. Don’t stand here and frighten my partner,” Gu Mengmeng chased him away without showing any courtesy.
Cole wanted to open his mouth to speak, but Gu Mengmeng turned her head away and ignored him.
Swinging his arms angrily, he returned to his fireside, but his eyes continued to be staring straight at Gu Mengmeng, as though he was dying to pierce a hole through her.
Gu Mengmeng completely ignored Cole’s stare and continued to eat and play as she usually would. She was gentler to Lea than how she usually behaved. Both of them fooled around and acted out many scenes like ‘Come chase me, if you successfully catch me, I will let you kiss me’, making Cole almost wanting to charge over and carry her away.
Seeing that they have done sufficiently, Gu Mengmeng and Lea exchanged glances, stretched their bodies and said that they were tired and wanted to return home.
Elvis did not say anything and carried Gu Mengmeng to the stone castle. Lea swayed his tail as he followed behind. Before leaving, he even winked at Cole, giving him a look of ‘I know you cannot stand me, but you cannot do anything about it’ that was very deserving of a beating.
After returning to the stone castle, Gu Mengmeng burst out into laughter and slapped her thighs, saying, “Ah, so refreshing! I have never seen Cole with such an unpleasant look. It was too hilarious seeing his face that was so filled with jealousy that he had almost gone mad… In the past, he had always been agitating me to the point of clenching my teeth, yet I could not do anything. Today I have finally fought back, now I feel really relieved!”
Lea used his fingers to lift Gu Mengmeng’s chin and smiled brightly and said, “The medicinal bug on Cole has most likely been 80 percent activated. Once it reaches 100 percent, Cole would become a wooden puppet controlled by me. All his actions would be following my scheme… But activating the medicinal bug required me planning for it step-by-step and it’s really tough on me, so… Mengmeng, shouldn’t you reward me? Huh?”
It took Gu Mengmeng only two seconds to realize what he meant by ‘reward’.
Right, she had been busy because of Love of the Sky and had not been intimate with them for a long time.
Seeing Gu Mengmeng blush but not reject, Lea understood that she had consented.
But there were rules in every family. The Beast World’s family rules did not allow any disorder to occur.
Kissing Gu Mengmeng on her lips, he said, “I will remember Mengmeng’s adorable look and treat it as interest payment. I shall be making plans for the activation of the remaining 20 percent medicinal bugs in Cole’s body. When we succeed, don’t forget to reward me.”
After he said that, Lea handed over Gu Mengmeng to Elvis and patted his shoulders. Giving him a telepathic smile, he said, “Now that Mengmeng has two items out of the seven treasures, that… maybe you can give it a shot.”
