Lea walked over and lied against the tree trunk. Chuckling, he said, “Alright alright, if you keep being like this, I’ll be jealous.”
Elvis snickered before slowly standing up.
Gu Mengmeng could see that Elvis had not recovered from his injury, he was putting on a fake front.
Lea carried Gu Mengmeng out from the tree hole and tapped her little nose, assuring her, “Elvis is a fifth-level orc. Although he was quite badly injured, his recovery speed is already very shocking. And moreover, don’t you still have me? I won’t give him any chance to die in front of me and then watch you cry buckets of sorrowful tears for him.”
Gu Mengmeng was aware that Lea’s motive of deliberately using this kind of jealous tone to comfort her was for her to quickly get out from all the sad emotions.
Wiping away her tears, Gu Mengmeng wrapped her arms around Lea’s neck and asked, “What about you? Were you badly injured anywhere?”
Lea chuckled, his expression turning awkward as he said, “I’m not Elvis, I can’t withstand the beast pressure and not admit defeat so as to hug you when you were emitting your beast pressure.”
Gu Mengmeng recalled that if it was not for Elvis’s hug back then, she would not know how long her emotions would go out of control.
Elvis took two steps forward and held Gu Mengmeng’s little hand up to peck it. “Once you emitted your beast pressure, he just directly fainted in his original form.”
Lea used his nose to sneer at Elvis before he turned his face away, as if he was stuck in a predicament.
They sat around the fireplace before Lea started sending the meat into the pot after he had placed Gu Mengmeng properly in her seat. The soup which had already been seasoned gave off a fragrant bone smell, causing one’s appetite to grow bigger as a result.
Auretin peeled two tree branches and made them into chopsticks. Then, he told Gu Mengmeng while pinching the meat from the pot, “Yeah, what Elvis said was true. I fainted around a breath later than Lea and it was in my original form too.”
Gu Mengmeng face-palmed, too speechless to say anything.
This face-paralysis male, Auretin, gave off an absurd comedic effect as he reported his duties while eating meat.
Lea rolled his eyes at Auretin as he clenched his teeth and speedily snatched the big piece of meat Auretin had cooked in the hotpot, placing it in his little wooden bowl. After cooling it, he sent it into Gu Mengmeng’s mouth and said while feeding her, “Say it all you want, it’s fine to keep being sarcastic towards me, you don’t have to stand on ceremony. Anyways, I earn a living with my face and not my skills, right Mengmeng~”
Gu Mengmeng laughed, a part of Snake’s memory surfacing in her mind. That time, Snake also emitted his beast pressure to bully Elvis and Lea. And then, this fellow swayed his tail and huddled inside her arms to act coquettishly. Back then, Snake even suspected whether Lea was a snake as he growled internally, “You still have logic after being so weak?!”
Although Lea said he was not affected, he kept snatching away the meat Auretin had cooked. He did not eat them either as he fed them all into Gu Mengmeng’s mouth, which made it hard for Auretin to lose his temper too. After all, he was a male, he could not possibly get angry over a female eating a little of his meat, right? But Lea’s sneaky actions really made one’s blood boil.
Auretin raised his head and stared intently at Lea. His brows were furrowed slightly, for someone with face-paralysis, this was already a pretty solemn expression.
But what a pity, Lea did not feel Auretin’s anger at all and he even misunderstood the information his facial expression gave off. Shaking his head, he said, “There’s no use looking at me like that, after all…..one can improve his skills in the long run, but he can’t change his appearance. I was just born with good skin. I just need this face of mine to let Mengmeng favor me forever. It’s useless even if you glare at me until your eyeballs fall out, you can’t get envious over this kind of matter.”
