Gu Mengmeng frowned impatiently, raising her chin and said, “Get to the main point, what has this got to do with me? And what has this got to do with you and Elvis committing adultery like a wolf and a jackal?”
Lea looked at Elvis then looked at Gu Mengmeng and swung his fluffy large tail before saying seriously, “I’m a fox, not a jackal and Elvis and I did not….commit adultery.”
Gu Mengmeng almost lost it. She coughed to cover up with her bulging intention to laugh and hit her thigh, saying, “Don’t talk about these useless stuff, hurry and say the main point.”
Lea knew that Gu Mengmeng’s anger had subsided from his joke and at least she was not crying anymore. Thus, his mood calmed down quite a lot and he continued explaining.
“Due to some reason, I was banished by Sauder and nobody dared to take me in by taking the risk of offending the messengers tribe so I led a life that couldn’t even be compared to stray beasts. When I almost died of hunger, Elvis saved me and brought me back to Saint Nazaire.”
When Lea talked about this, he paused slightly for a moment and looked at Elvis who was sitting behind Gu Mengmeng cowardly. It was really difficult to put this wolf back to his initial impression. After living together for so many years, he had seen almost all of Elvis’s brutality, savageness, and even his utterly sorry look but he had never seen… and did not even dare to imagine until today that Elvis would be this cautious and helpless.
This look appeared as if a generation had passed.
Lea tidied up his own emotions and continued, “Saint Nazaire is the only place in the Beast World that I can continue surviving so no matter what, I have to defend and flourish this place so that we can become a presence that exceeds Sauder. Only this way can I get rid of the shackles they fixed on me and acquire real freedom. And to exceed the messengers tribe, the only method was to let Saint Nazaire become the new messengers of the Beast Deity tribe in order to let Sauder’s glory completely become a legendary story, just a story.”
Gu Mengmeng did not interrupt Lea because she knew that the causal mention of ‘some reason’ must be a heavy topic or else why would a highly respected prince be reduced to getting banished from his own tribe? Gu Mengmeng’s mind immediately surfaced a palace drama of the Qing dynasty, named ‘Nine Wins Tomorrow’ and she started to feel anxious too. She started to be more absorbed in Lea’s explanation.
Lea was not aware of Gu Mengmeng’s internal activity. He was just naturally glad to see her being willing to hear him, after all… she was not willing to talk to him anymore.
Slitting his wound open was very painful, especially a wound that was hurt twice.
But if this was the only way to get closer to her, Lea was willing to tear open that festered scar to showcase his own bloody flesh.
“I deduced the records I’ve seen before in Sauder and know that the arrival of the messenger of the Beast Deity will appear randomly in one of the five elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth. The last messenger of the Beast Deity came out from the Fire so I eliminated Fire from the choices this time round. I was responsible for observing Metal and Wood while Elvis was responsible for Water and Earth. The lake you appeared in was the venue I deduced for Water. That is why Elvis and I strongly believe from the beginning that you’re the messenger of the Beast Deity.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned, a question forming in her mind but she also felt that it was rude to interrupt someone else’s story. Thus, she suppressed the curiosity in her heart and maintained a struggling expression.
Lea looked as if he saw through Gu Mengmeng’s thoughts and said, “Just ask what you want to know.”
