The three young ones had been overly excited the whole day and fell asleep not long after returning to the stone castle.
Elvis and Lea accompanied Gu Mengmeng back to the room on the second floor. They only dared to speak after shutting the door.
Lea said, “Sandy’s condition… looks like she has been bewitched by a Fox Seductive Fragrance.”
At the bonfire party, although Lea had been roasting meats all along, his attention was always on Gu Mengmeng. So he naturally overheard the conversation between Collin and herself.
“Fox Seductive Fragrance?” Gu Mengmeng was taken aback. She suddenly recalled how Cole used a bug to frame Lea, but was instead exposed by Lea. That day, when Cole appeared, he seemed to have said something about wanting to replace Lea’s position. Afterwards, Lea had told Gu Mengmeng that a male’s Fox Seductive Fragrance only had the power to spice up one’s love life, but the Fox Seductive Fragrance of a female had the power to control one’s mind.
Lea nodded. “I detected it when Sandy was sitting beside you then. Although it was very faint, it was definitely a Fox Seductive Fragrance.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned. “Could we neutralize it?”
Lea nodded, but looked a little doubtful. “There are two ways. First is to find out the identity of the person who bewitched Sandy, and let the person undo it. The second is to find someone who is even better at using the Fox Seductive Fragrance, to use an even stronger Fox Seductive Fragrance to bewitch her and suppress the original fragrance.”
“Bewitch?” Gu Mengmeng was hesitant.
Lea nodded. “The Fox Seductive Fragrance of different females can cause different illusions. Used on its own, a female’s fragrance is just a more potent form of the male’s. However, if matched with a person who knows bewitching spells, it can have the effect of mind control.”
Gu Mengmeng furrowed her brows and looked at Lea. “Do you know the bewitching spell?”
Lea nodded. “Tribe leaders and witch doctors all have to learn the bewitching spells.”
Gu Mengmeng said, “Then try it out on me. Let me experience it.”
Lea pursed his lips. “I will never use something like that on you. Humph.”
Gu Mengmeng was surprised. Why are you suddenly throwing a hissy fit now? What are you harrumphing at?
Elvis chuckled at Gu Mengmeng’s confused face. He played with her fingers. “He is afraid that once he uses the bewitching spell on you, he will not be able to control his own greed and will want to keep using it. He might use it to gain your favor first, then… perhaps to replace me, and then kill me.”
“I will never do anything that will upset Mengmeng.” Lea turned away, his face all red.
Gu Mengmeng laughed. “Then that’s settled? Just once. I want to know what is this bewitching spell.”
Lea kept his faced turned and refused to look at Gu Mengmeng. He rejected coldly. “No.”
Gu Mengmeng cupped her face with her palm. “Then I have no choice but to seek out Cole.”
“No way!” Lea’s fur bushed up and he glared daggers at Gu Mengmeng. “If you let him cast a bewitching spell on you, you will think that he is your partner, just like Sandy!”
Erm…
Gu Mengmeng was suddenly speechless.
Why did the IQ of this fox of hers always dip lower than the national average when faced with matters concerning her?
“I am saying to seek out Cole, and make him lift the bewitching spell on Sandy. I didn’t say I want him to perform the spell on me.”
Lea was momentarily taken aback. He then cleared his throat and turned his face the other way. “That’s also a no. I don’t like you going to find Cole. That slutty fox scent of his is unbearable.”
