“It was him who told me that no matter whether others or himself is injured, his baseline is not let you shed a tear, so when you cry, I would know that I was wrong. I would rather swing my claws at him, show my teeth and ignore my dependence on him to never let you shed a tear.” Chixuan hugged Gu Mengmeng tightly. His brows were tightly furrowed when he said to her, “Mum, you must not know right? When I was determined to abandon him and return to your side, his gaze at him was filled with approval and pride that he had never shown before. I was sure that his eyes were telling me ‘no doubt he’s the Xuan’er that I raised’… How ironic was that? The person whom you hated to the core was admiring an ingrate that had abandoned him.”
Gu Mengmeng gently patted his back and said, “Sorry, I have placed you in a difficult spot.”
Chixuan shook his head and replied, “You are my mother, you will forever be right.”
Gu Mengmeng sighed and did not know what to say.
“Mum, where is he? Can you let me… meet him for the last time.” Chixuan’s voice was almost begging.
Gu Mengmeng nodded and led him to the room. She pointed at the little tree and said, “He’s here. He… has become one with this tree.”
Chixuan knelt by the tree and kowtowed three times. He said, “I am not fated to address you as beast Father, but I thank you for raising me. I will take good care of my mum and not let her cry for me, so… you can be rest assured.”
When his voice stopped, a leaf fell from the tree branch and landed on his gabella. Within a blink of an eye, it fused with his skin.
“This…” Gu Mengmeng was confused.
Lea leaned against the room door. When he saw this, he smiled uncontrollably, “That’s it, we don’t have to consider further. He has chosen the person to guard the Soul of the Forest.”
“What… no, Chixuan is only a second-level beast, how could he guard it?” Gu Mengmeng was really worried. Once the news of the Soul of the Forest being here was leaked, there would undoubtedly be an upheaval in the Beast World. If Chixuan was here, Gu Mengmeng would not be at ease.
Lea laughed softly and asked, “Did you forget how much effort it took us to obtain the Soul of the Forest at Zacharias that time? Elvis and I had almost lost our lives there. If you look at everyone from Beast World, how many of them could have battling powers comparable to Elvis and mine at that time?”
“But…” Gu Mengmeng was still worried.
Chixuan hugged Gu Mengmeng and looked at the little tree, then said, “Mum, in the past, you were worried that he would lead me astray and did not allow me near him. Now… I’m afraid he no longer has the chance to lead me astray, so let me accompany me. Just take it as a repayment for raising me. After all, I am a wolf, and it’s not the Wolf Clan’s style to not repay a favor.”
When Chixuan spoke, he looked at Elvis, as though waiting for him to verbally support him.
But Elvis shrugged his shoulders and said coldly, “No point looking at me, I’m afraid of my wife.”
Chixuan looked at Elvis with a ‘speechless’ face and said, “You are really proud of your cowardice.”
Elvis grabbed Gu Mengmeng by the shoulders and lifted his chin to say, “I am proud of being afraid of my wife.”
Gu Mengmeng could neither laugh nor cry as she pinched him and said, “Don’t spout nonsense in front of our child.”
“Alright.” Elvis kissed her little face gently and said, “I am the Wolf King and he is a wolf. If you are unwilling for him to guard this tree, I can command him with the identity of the king to scram.”
