It was not known whether it was because Sandy’s wine had a lower level of purity or because of Wales’ previous experience of drowning himself in alcohol, but he had become better at drinking.
This time, he had almost drunk all the alcohol, but he did not misbehave crazily like the last time. He had only become more talkative and emotional.
Gu Mengmeng returned to her room and lay between Elvis and Lea. With both their large tails covering her body, she would hug each one one after another, as she stared at the ceiling and thought about what Wales had said.
Lea and Elvis knew what was troubling her mind. But Elvis had always been unskillful with his words so he did not speak and only shot a meaningful glance at Lea, indicating to him to console Gu Mengmeng.
No matter what her decision was, they would support her. But with her being so frustrated like this, they felt their heart aching for her.
Lea gently tidied the messy hair on her forehead and asked gently, “Mengmeng, actually Elvis and I do not support you using a beauty trick.”
Gu Mengmeng glanced sideways at Lea, waiting for him to continue.
Lea laughed, “In the Beast World, any problem should be resolved by the males. Even if we exclude Elvis, who could become tied with Cole in a fight, even if there was no Beast King, it should be us risking our lives to battle with Cole. There is definitely no reason for you to go heads on with him.”
Gu Mengmeng lay on the side of her body, hugged Lea, and buried her face in his chest, as she said softly, “I don’t mind this.”
Lea lightly patted her back and continued, “I know that you don’t mind, but it is disgraceful for Elvis and me to always be hiding behind our female partner’s back. But now it is not time to save face… Undoubtedly, I can plot a trap to let Elvis kill Cole, without having to stain your hands. But if the seven treasures do not appear and Cole dies, then Chixuan would definitely die alongside him. You could not bear Chixuan and this is the reason why we are so hesitant.”
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips and nodded while saying, “I know, if I cannot be ruthless enough to ignore Chixuan’s death, you and Elvis would definitely be restrained by him. But I really cannot stand Beast World’s way of killing an enemy without being concerned about the deaths of those you care about – using means to achieve a goal without caring about the losses. Chixuan is a piece of flesh from my body, I really cannot part with him.”
Lea kissed her forehead and said, “We know that you cannot bear it so we won’t do anything to make you sad. So Wales’ suggestion seems to be the only possible one. Only then, the seven treasures would appear, and it can protect Chixuan while stopping Cole from his crazy thoughts. When Wales revive completely, Gregory can then return and you can conveniently aid Wales and Wang Xiaoxin in their thousand-year fated relationship. It could be considered highly beneficial without any drawbacks.”
Lea sighed and gave a self-mocking laugh, as he hugged her tighter and said, “We all understand this logic, but now I cannot analyze the pros and cons as clearly as four years ago, then make the most beneficial choice rationally. Mengmeng, I cannot bear to see you suffer, not at all. If you are unwilling to do it, then don’t. Anyway, I would be happier if that useless door didn’t ever open. If not, I would always feel uneasy, afraid that after you leave through the door, I can never find you again.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled lightly and did not say anything, but her mind was very clear.
