Snake paused and felt as if he was maligned by someone.
Seeing how Snake could not unleash his anger, Gu Mengmeng could not help but find it funny as she shook her head and sighed. “Lea has always been a coward, don’t terrorize him.”
As Gu Mengmeng said, she pulled Lea into her arms and lightly patted his back, adding, “You drama queen, stop faking it. Snake won’t really do anything to you.”
Lea was feeling very comfortable having his fur ruffled by Gu Mengmeng like that. He squinted his eyes and stared at Snake, his sly smile encompassing provocation and a proud taste. Seeing how fire was going to spew out of Snake’s jade green eyes, his mood became exceptionally good.
Raising his head, he kissed Gu Mengmeng’s little chin and then stood up to hug Gu Mengmeng in his arms gently.
Lea’s embrace had always been gentle and warm. Gu Mengmeng hugged Lea back and then said, “Is your body still ok? Can you hunt?”
Gu Mengmeng knew that although Snake had no intention of getting Elvis’s and Lea’s lives, for safety’s sake, he would still use his snake venom to weaken their bodies so that they would not be able to escape with Gu Mengmeng.
Lea raised his brow and lightly hooked Gu Mengmeng’s chin, saying in a warm tone, “Am I that weak in your heart till I can’t even tackle those wild beasts?”
Gu Mengmeng gave a smile to fawn over him as she denied, “No no, I’m just worried for you.”
Lea pinched Gu Mengmeng’s little nose and lightly shook it, saying, “You’re not allowed to worry carelessly, lie down properly and wait for me to return. Don’t move as you wish. If I come back later and see a slaughter scene here, I won’t let you off, do you understand?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and said, “Yes sir.”
Lea hugged Gu Mengmeng again before standing up to head outside. When he walked past Snake, he hung a radiant smile on his face and said, “In the future, you have to get along well with me and Elvis. Or else, you’ll be the one who suffers because Mengmeng’s heart is leaning towards us. Good luck~”
Snake tightened his fists and his body tensed up as he witnessed how Lea walked out of the cave while swaying his large tail with each step.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and comforted him, “Stop staring, he’s just like that. He doesn’t have any ill intentions.”
Snake turned his head back to look at Gu Mengmeng and asked, “He threatened you.”
Gu Mengmeng blinked and look at Snake with an ‘amnesia’ expression.
Snake stepped forward and continued, “He said he won’t let you off. Why aren’t you angry?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled sweetly and asked back, “Why should I be angry?”
Snake’s face turned cold as he replied, “Whenever I threatened you that I’ll eat them up, you will always be angry.”
Gu Mengmeng explained, “How’s that the same? What Lea meant when he said he won’t let me off is that before my period ends, he won’t let me touch the ground at all and just lay in bed for the entire seven days….ah, life’s hopeless, how am I different from a salted fish? But….I know that his punishment is carried out on the basis of cherishing me and protecting me. Both him and Elvis…..will never do things that make me sad.”
Snake frowned and asked, “If I really eat them up, will you be sad?”
Gu Mengmeng kept her smile and said seriously, “My family is my life, I’ll fight those who dare to touch my family with all my might.”
Snake recalled how Gu Mengmeng bit off a piece of flesh from his arm without caring for her life when all he wanted to do was to beat Elvis up previously. She even almost sacrificed her life. Sighing, he looked up and with some expectation, some sadness and some bewilderment, he asked with utmost cautiousness, “What about me? Can I become your family member?”
