Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips. She disliked Cole and might even hate him. Each time he used Chixuan to threaten her, the greater the despise and hatred she felt towards him.
She was dying to skin him alive and take apart his bones.
But…
She still did not like the idea of using emotions to deceive him.
Yes, she could not deny that what Wales said was right. To the males in the Beast World, ‘wishing for the unattainable’ was the most heart wrenching thing.
But this type of scheme was really despicable and Gu Mengmeng was unwilling to involve herself in it.
Wales stared at Gu Mengmeng for some time and could tell the rejection she felt towards this plan. He took a step back, disappointed, and said, “You have six out of seven treasures, with only the Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs left. Gu Mengmeng… take it as I’m begging you, so long as you help me this time, I, Wales, would be indebted to you for a lifetime and would do anything for you even if it meant risking my life.”
Gu Mengmeng knew about the relationship between Wales and Wang Xiaoxin.
It would be an exaggeration to say that she could empathize with him. Since the knife was not stabbing yourself, one would never know how painful it was.
Initially, when she heard from the Beast Deity about this story, she had already pitied Wales and this pity had scaled up after knowing that Wales was little shit.
Little shit was an important friend to her. She could not bear to watch as he returned from a near-death love tribulation, and still had to relive the failures.
But…
“Is there really no other way to get the Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs?” Gu Mengmeng asked.
Wales smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, “If the second leaf of Soul of the Forest has not sprouted, then it is possible to transfer it to another body… For instance, the birdman on Motou Mountains is very suitable. Unfortunately, the second leaf has already sprouted now and the Soul of the Forest had already become infused with Cole’s body and could not be removed. Gu Mengmeng, you only have to be moral towards a good person, what is there to stop you when it is Cole?”
“I…”
“I know, you don’t like to make use of someone’s feelings,” Wales looked at Gu Mengmeng, his eyes filled with pleading. He articulated each word clearly, “But up to now you haven’t been doing anything, yet he was still using that dirty mind of his to love you. Let me tell you, I am very familiar with his gaze, I also had such a gaze a thousand years ago. That belongs to a crazy insistence, a twisted and possessive mentally ill state and desire. Even if you did not do anything, he would also not let you off. Auretin is just a beginning, he would harm the people around you to warn you to not defy him, to not agitate him… What about next time? Who would it be? Hede and his brothers? Sandy? 16 valued females? Or Lea, Elvis and even other people he could threaten you with?”
Wales held Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders with his hands and stared into his eyes, while saying cautiously and solemnly, “If you want to protect the people around you from danger, it would be best for you to take actions first. Give him an illusion to think that there is hope between you and him. In order to maintain this hope, he would then not dare to harm anyone around you impulsively. And what you have to do is to not take initiative, not decline and not take responsibility. When his hopes peak, you will then crush his hopes ruthlessly. So long as you are ruthless enough, the third leaf would then definitely sprout. By then, I can finally be with her again and you can also completely free yourself from that troublesome person. Besides Cole, no one else would be hurt. And Cole… he deserves it.”
“Benevolence to your enemy is cruelty to yourself. Gu Mengmeng, think carefully.” When Wales finished, he walked unsteadily with his swaying body to the second level and closed himself in his room.
