After ensuring that Cole had walked far away, Gu Mengmeng pushed Lea and said, “What’s up with you? Didn’t you head out to drive him away? How did you end up being taken in his hands?”
Lea evolved into human form but kept his large tail and fluffy fox ears. He pulled the beast-skin over from the bed to cover himself up slightly because he remembered that Gu Mengmeng did not like seeing males naked.
After he finished handling everything, Lea then glanced at Elvis with a straight face and said, “Cole’s at least a fourth-level beast. You’ve to be careful.”
Elvis nodded his head and said, “I’ve sensed it too. Although he hid it very well and did not expose his own strength, I saw how he made orcs, who’re second level and below, faint from the pressure he emitted that day. Even you, who’s at the peak of third-level, felt strength-less with your legs wobbling and sight dizzy while he was calm and unfazed like he wasn’t affected at all. Unless he’s a fourth-level or even higher orc, he wouldn’t be able to handle the beast pressure from a fourth-level orc.”
Gu Mengmeng blinked her eyes. She finally understood that the reason Elvis and Lea acted that morning when Cole came to find her after the public reported her of barbecuing in public, was not to only act like posers.
“Snow foxes have a crafty nature and furthermore, Sauder’s the tribe of the previous messenger of the Beast Deity so there must be many secrets that only the tribe leader knows. Even if many of them were lost in the mighty torrents of time, as long as there’s a little bit of light left, it will be enough to keep us busy. So, when tackling him, you have to be especially careful.”
Gu Mengmeng patted Lea and said, “You sound as if you’re not from the snow fox tribe. What crafty nature were you talking about…in my opinion, Cole’s not a bad person. He’s not only refined and courteous, he’s also a modest gentleman. Did you see how both of you bullied him? If he’s really crafty, he would have pulled you outside and bury you then. Why will he still send you back? And he even carried you back in his arms.”
Lea sniggered. He did not reply Gu Mengmeng and just stared at Elvis, saying, “Mengmeng’s reaction now is the best evidence.”
Gu Mengmeng asked, “What evidence?”
Lea looked to his side and hooked Gu Mengmeng’s chin using his index finger with a strict expression never seen before. He slowly inched his face closer to her and said every word with seriousness written in his long pupils, “Mengmeng, in this Beast World, you’re free to pick any males from all tribes, both on land and in the skies. However, for foxes…you just need me.”
“Tsk….” Gu Mengmeng turned her head away in an attempt to retract her chin but the rarely stubborn Lea did not want to let go. His brows were furrowed tightly as he locked Gu Mengmeng’s chin in front of him and stared intently into her eyes. After staying silent for a long time, which looked as if he was struggling and hesitating, he eventually admitted defeat and said, “If you really like foxes that much, you can consider the fire fox tribe or the silver fox tribe. The males from those two tribes are extremely handsome and intelligent. If you really want a snow fox regardless what…at least, don’t let it be Cole.”
Gu Mengmeng could not defeat Lea no matter how much she struggled so she could only stare at him with a face that appeared as if live meant nothing to her anymore. She asked, “You and Elvis are indeed good brothers who’ve lived together for many years. Did any damn eye of yours see ‘a woman of loose morals who can easily be seduced’ written over my face? Why are you linking everything to mating and the chambers of the imperial concubines? I had repeated myself eight hundred times before, the only male I want is Elvis, I won’t mate again.”
Lea frowned deeply and lowered his head out of instincts to stare at his left chest.
Pain was infesting.
But now, he was smiling.
Was this considered as perishing together with Cole? It’s great too, as long as he could stop Cole from getting closer to Gu Mengmeng, he was willing for Gu Mengmeng to only accept one partner her entire lifetime.
