“If he wanted Chixuan to die, he would have acted on it earlier. On the contrary, he had always tolerated Chixuan’s provocation and retaliation. To boil it down, he must have formed some feelings for him…”
After all, a human’s heart was made of flesh.
If Cole was not really kind to Chixuan, Chixuan would not have looked up to him as a father.
Now that she thinks back, Gu Mengmeng felt that she might have been too extreme at times and had been too cruel.
But Sandy did not care about these. She only turned Gu Mengmeng left and right to look closely. Seeing that Gu Mengmeng was not harmed or injured, she could finally be at ease.Then, she said, “Who cares about what happened to him? Once I knew he was dead, the first I thought about was the sacrifice that you had to pay and the more I thought about it, the more I felt panicked and had been worried the entire winter. Afterwards, Arnold said that he could sense another new king emerging. I thought that besides Lea, there would be no one and then I could finally be relieved.”
“Aren’t I alright now?” Gu Mengmeng held Sandy’s little hands and led her into the city as she comforted Sandy.
“Congratulations Fox King and Queen on the pregnancy of your daughter.” With clasped fists, Arnold bowed respectfully.
Gu Mengmeng laughed softly and said, “Now, I can finally live up to the title as a Queen. Arnold, thanks for your blessings.”
As she spoke, she patted Sandy’s little hands and said, “Now that Lea has become the Fox King, the Fox Clan and Wolf Clan would become the closest friends. So… you don’t have to worry about what would happen to him, to me, or to others. If you like it, then let him lay flat.”
Sandy cleared her throat and smiled. She turned her head and glanced at Arnold, then said, “Arnold, you should head back home to lie down first, I… I will come back soon.”
Arnold’s eyes flashed brightly and the corner of her lips moved upwards uncontrollably. She responded with a soft ‘alright’ and turned to leave, returning to the little stone room.
Lea also smiled and teased her, “Useless.”
Sandy turned and looked at Lea for a moment, then said, “Thinking back about the Great Lea who had hung from the tree of Saint Nazaire like a piece of fox skin half alive, I can’t say that he’s useful either.”
Lea ground his teeth and said, “I am the Fox King now, aren’t you afraid that I would kill your little foxes?”
Sandy wrapped her arms around Gu Mengmeng and said, “If you are capable, then just make him die, then I can stick with my Girl all day long. She would definitely comfort me first and not have time to bother about you. By then, even if you try to seek your death above a pail of fire at the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment, I won’t let her go and save you, hmph.”
“You…” Lea looked at Gu Mengmeng and took a deep breath in. He smiled apologetically and said, “A gentleman does not fight with a woman, I shall tolerate with you.”
Sandy giggled, looked at Gu Mengmeng and said, “Did you see that? This is called the power of females. You ah… are as cowardly as dogs at home every day. You’re bullied so much by them that you no longer know your authority.”
As she said that, she gently placed her hands on Gu Mengmeng’s little womb and continued, “There’s my precious daughter-in-law here, she must not be as cowardly as you. She should be able to show her authority as a female and head of household. From now on, the two of us shall be the role models and call the shots in the family. This is called… called… what is it called?”
Gu Mengmeng laughed and finished her sentence, “Prenatal education.”
“Right right right, it’s prenatal education. Prenatal education is very important…” Sandy rambled on as though there was something bothering her. The two male beasts behind her followed her and did not dare interrupt.
Elvis lightly pushed Lea and asked softly, “You also have a day that you would be this cowardly?”
Lea laughed softly and said, “People whom you cannot agitate are friends… Moreover, didn’t you see that whenever I took a compromise, Mengmeng’s face was smiling like a blossoming flower? For that smile, anything is worth it.”
