“You don’t believe?!” Wales seemed to be displeased. He straightened the top half of his body and lifted Gu Mengmeng by the collar off the ground, as though he was holding a little chick, and shook her. Seeing Gu Mengmeng being shaken by her like a pendulum in his hands, he laughed and said mysteriously, “Look, you have Snake’s mark behind your neck, isn’t it? I heard that he was dating you in that world… Judging from that brat’s personality, you won’t be able to escape and will definitely marry him. I am his father, so aren’t I your father too?”
Gu Mengmeng followed the logic in Wales’ words and it seemed… really to be true.
Seeing the progress of Snake and Gu Mengmeng in the dream realm, there must be no other possibilities.
But…
How should she put it?
Even though they had the same face and same name, and even had the same past experiences and memories, but the Gu Mengmeng in that dimension was not herself.
So she felt that she still could not acknowledge this ‘father’.
“Sometimes, I really feel that this small mouth of yours… haha… Do you think that you can predict the future, or that this was destiny? You made me deceive Cole that I am no longer afraid of you because I have become partners with Wang Xiaoxin… Hahaha, didn’t I become partners with her, if not where would Snake come from? But… but… I can no longer find her.”
As he said that, he suddenly released his grip and Gu Mengmeng fell straight down.
With his quick movements, Elvis caught Gu Mengmeng and frowned as he looked at Wales with an extremely displeased face.
Gu Mengmeng patted Elvis’ shoulders and shook her head, saying, “He had held it in for more than a thousand years. Letting him be drunk and vent it all out might be good.”
Elvis did not say anything and quietly placed her down. Then, he sighed and stood quietly one step away from her, so that he could protect her anytime Wales acted crazily.
Lea held Elvis’ shoulders and said, “Put yourself in his shoes, if Mengmeng insists on leaving through the doors of time and space tomorrow, would you stop her?”
“Definitely.” Elvis said this word with his teeth clenched.
Lea, “What if you cannot?”
Elvis frowned and said, “Follow.”
Lea’s smile was even wider as he asked again, “What if she does not allow you to follow?”
Elvis’ brows furrowed tightly, almost forming a dead knot, but his voice turned cold and he said simply, “Die.”
Lea understood and nodded, then said, “Our thoughts are the same. That time, Wales… was also like this. But you knew the outcome. That woman peeled away the scales protecting his heart and dug away his heart…”
Elvis’ heart tightened and he had a strange sympathy for him.
He loved Gu Mengmeng and was willing to die for her.
He was not afraid of death, but if the reason she wanted him to die was so that she could leave…
This must be what it meant by drilling through the heart and piercing the bones.
Seeing Wales in an unsteady drunken stupor, Elvis suddenly felt a similar emotion.
He turned around, looked at Lea and laughed, “We are different from him, Xiao Meng… is still a soft-hearted one.”
Lea nodded and said with deep thoughts, “Yeah, we are lucky that that world did not have anything that Mengmeng would be thinking all the time and could not give up and also how she would not bear to leave us. So, even though he is a tough male, he was only a pitiful person.”
When Lea’s voice stopped, Wales suddenly appeared in front of Lea. His snake eyes stared straight at Lea and he asked coldly, “How did you know about the heart-protecting scales?!”
