Chapter 788

Gu Mengmeng held Lea’s face and kissed him deeply and with a lingering feel.

“Lea, congratulations on your promotion.”

Lea didn’t answer but just embraced Gu Mengmeng.

This little girl was just too smart. It was getting increasingly difficult to bluff her. But this type of difficulty gave him an unprecedented sense of bliss.

She had been observing him closely. She hadn’t said a word but she knew everything.

The ordeal had lasted half a night, plus the ground was full of blood and corpses, making it look like a slaughterhouse. There was no way they could sleep here now.

Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng and covered her with the skinned fur, so that she could catch up on her sleep. The few males then continued making their way back to Saint Nazaire.

It was normal for males to go several days without sleep. They had stopped every night to rest just for Gu Mengmeng’s sake.

Although Gu Mengmeng didn’t make any moves during last night’s trial, her anxiety was real. She could finally settle down now and sleep enveloped her.

She slept all the way till noon, before she was awoken by hunger.

The sun was shining at its most intense and was the most torturous time for Wabei. He sprawled lazily on a tree with his head drooping down. He ignored everyone, not sleeping and not moving, acting just like a rubber snake.

Although Ian could fly, his abilities peaked at nighttime. During the day, his already sickly face looked even more lifeless, as if a gust of wind could knock him over. He was a male but looked so anemic, as if he had been having his menstrual period for a whole month. No one knew what was the matter with him. Looking at his weak manner, Gu Mengmeng felt that there was no way he could go hunting.

As such, Elvis handed Gu Mengmeng over to Lea and went hunting himself.

Gu Mengmeng sat in Lea’s embrace and played with his bushy tail. “Eh, your tail appears to have become coarser after your promotion.”

Lea saw that Gu Mengmeng liked his change and couldn’t help smiling. “The appearance Snow Foxes will change according to the level promotions.”

Gu Mengmeng turned back to scrutinize Lea’s face.

Lea had always been good-looking and he bore an otherworldly beauty. One might become immune after some time, so it had been a long while since Gu Mengmeng studied Lea’s features.

At his mention, Gu Mengmeng looked over his face seriously.

Yeah, his brows looked thicker. They appeared less gentle now, but more valiant.

His nose had also narrowed, becoming more like the standard aquiline western nose, and not like the flatter oriental ones. His higher nose gave his features more depth.

Meanwhile, Lea’s slanted, emotive eyes looked like they were brimming with clear spring water. He gazed with a deep love at Gu Mengmeng, as if she was the only one in the world who he could see.

His thin lips were without any wrinkles, as if god himself had crafted them. Slightly parted, they looked so inviting that Gu Mengmeng felt herself unwittingly drawn towards them.

Lea’s face had become even more perfect than before. So perfect that he looked like he had been created by god’s own hands from every angle.

With a light laugh, Lea hooked Gu Mengmeng’s chin and parted those alluring lips. His words made Gu Mengmeng blush. “You are looking at me as if you want to eat me up. What should I do so that I won’t waste your tender love?”

“Day… it’s broad daylight now. What nonsense are you saying?!” Gu Mengmeng blushed and lowered her head.

Lea just gave a meaningful “oh” before whispering close to Gu Mengmeng’s ear. His warm and seductive breath engulfed Gu Mengmeng’s ear, as he said in an enticingly raspy voice, ” So, is this an invitation? You will give me some love when night falls?”

It might just be a psychological effect, but Lea seemed to be radiating even more hormones after his promotion.

She should have been used to being teased, but even after half a year, she remained defenseless against Lea’s attack.

Lea traced one finger down Gu Mengmeng’s arm, from her shoulder to her wrist. It was as if electricity was shooting out from his fingertip, making Gu Mengmeng feel numb all over. The only place she could hide was deeper into his embrace.

Lea was very satisfied with Gu Mengmeng’s subtle action, but he just casually tapped at the Kiss of the Ocean in her hands. “The Kiss of the Ocean can absorb the poison left behind in your body by Snake. If you eat it, we can mate in the future.”

Gu Mengmeng looked at the fist-sized black pearl and pursed her lips. “Are you sure I won’t choke to death on it?”

Lea tapped Gu Mengmeng lightly on her head. “Silly girl, who is asking you to swallow the pearl whole? I can crumble it into pieces for you to eat.”

Gu Mengmeng thought Lea had made the suggestion in jest, but saw that he was really preparing to crush it. She panicked and drew the Kiss of the Ocean back into her embrace with a frown. “No, this is for Chixuan’s ransom. We cannot touch it.”

Lea sighed, but didn’t reach for the Kiss of the Ocean again. He just held Gu Mengmeng in his arms. “What should I do? I am jealous…”

“Oh?” Lea was pressing down on the top of Gu Mengmeng’s head with his chin. She was unable to look up to see his expression.

Lea said, “I concede to the fact that Elvis holds a higher place in your heart, as he is your first partner. But now that wolf pup is also more important than me… Mengmeng, my heart aches.”

Gu Mengmeng laughed in exasperation. “You are all my family and equally important to me. It’s just that Chixuan is in danger now, so I have no choice but to put him as my top priority…”

“I know,” Lea said, “I also promised that I will never put you in a spot. I understand the logic behind it all, but… I just feel rather depressed. I am too greedy, aren’t I? Wanting to be the most important person to you…”

Gu Mengmeng hugged Lea and pressed her face into his chest. She said softly, “I am sorry.”

Startled, Lea twisted his lips and chuckled. “You clearly know that rather than apologizing, I prefer to hear you confess your love.”

Gu Mengmeng didn’t hesitate. “I love you.”

Lea smiled with satisfaction and didn’t say another word.

He had committed a taboo. He shouldn’t have made a fuss over the “most important status” in front of Gu Mengmeng. Mengmeng had wanted to make him her one and only then, but Lea had insisted on pushing her into Elvis’ arms.

Thereafter, Mengmeng wanted him to give up. It was Lea himself who said he wouldn’t mind being a beast pet, as long as he could remain by her side.

But now, he was already her lawful partner, and could rightfully hold her in his arms.

However, men would always be greedy.

They will always yearn for what they could not have. Hankering for more after getting it.
