Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO Chapter 708

Chapter 708 - Why Did You Not Want To Get Promoted?

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Elvis held Gu Mengmeng’s waist. “Stay home with Sandy. Lea and I will go hunting.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded in assent.

Lea and Elvis exchanged a look before leaving together. They morphed into beast form in unison at the entrance and sprinted off.

They were the masters of the Saint Nazaire territory. The other tribes would start to make trouble if they were away for too long. Now that they were back, they naturally had to reaffirm their authority.

After running around the borders of their territory, the two of them stopped beneath a tree.

Lea let Elvis wait below while he climbed up to raid a bird’s nest.

He used his tail to form a temporary pouch and placed the eggs securely inside. He then slowly climbed down.

Elvis took over the eggs and frowned. “Why so few?”

Lea smiled. “Mengmeng doesn’t allow us to take everything all at once. We can only take half at the most. These can last Mengmeng at least one or two days. I will go raid another nest during our patrol of the territory tomorrow.”

Elvis nodded without a word.

The territory of Saint Nazaire was very expensive. It wasn’t impossible to patrol the entire area within a day, but the two of them… didn’t want to be away from Gu Mengmeng for too long.

Holding those eggs, they made their way back. Lea also hunted two wild animals and he and Elvis each carried one on their shoulders. They then headed home.

Lea looked extremely blissful. Having a home to return to was a luxury, and he now had that luxury.

When they were nearing the living quarters, Elvis stopped and frowned, “Why did you not want to get promoted?”

“Huh?” Lea was taken aback. He turned to look at Elvis and suddenly laughed. “You could tell?”

Elvis nodded. “I didn’t intervene sooner when you were battling Cole, as I was waiting for you to be promoted. You were clearly nearing the next stage and would have surpassed it if you had put in a bit more effort. Why did you give up?”

Lea lowered his head and gazed upon those few eggs. He said with some melancholy, “I promised Mengmeng that I will never make things difficult for her, in matters between you and me.”

Elvis replied, “I don’t understand.”

Lea sighed. “Mengmeng is already powerful enough. No one can easily cause her any harm. Moreover, doesn’t our family already have you, a fifth-level beast? So it doesn’t matter if I am a bit weaker.”

Didn’t matter?

Gu Mengmeng might be fooled by these words.

But Elvis was well aware that Lea had nearly lost his life during that earlier attack by the stray beasts. When Gu Mengmeng lost control of her beast aura and killed several of their enemies and fellow tribesmen, the one who suffered the blame for the incident was not Gu Mengmeng. Instead, it was Lea, who had been held accountable for not being strong enough.

Everyone was secretly blaming Lea. Not only did he fail to protect his own female, he had let her fall into danger and indirectly caused the deaths of so many fellow tribesmen.

Elvis had clearly seen the anguish Lea had suffered. As a male, he didn’t believe Lea would be contented to remain a weakling and be labeled a burden to Gu Mengmeng.

But he obviously had the chance to be promoted, why didn’t he take it?

“What are you worried about?” Elvis pursued.

Lea lowered his head and avoided Elvis’ eyes. He chuckled. “You are thinking too much. I am not worried about anything.”

Elvis exhaled loudly and lifted his chin. “If so, then there is no need to hide this matter from Xiao Meng, right?”
