Gu Mengmeng rolled up her sleeves and grunted in indignation, “I ask you, if I couldn’t control myself when you were unconscious and pounce on Lea, what would you do? Are you not at least a little worried?”
Elvis thought for a moment and shook his head, answering seriously, “If you want to take him in as your partner, I’ll definitely support you. You don’t have to worry that we won’t get along well because we’ve gotten used to this kind of life a long time ago so… if you like him…”
“Wait!” Gu Mengmeng raised her head and gestured a ‘stop,’ signal. Frowning, she looked at Elvis, asking him, “You said that both of you had gotten used to ‘this kind of life’ a long time ago, what kind of life is it?”
Elvis could faintly hear Lea’s frantic and speedy footsteps towards them. The many years of common consensus made him understand deeply that he… was stuck in some dead serious crisis.
Elvis was clear that under the situation of the enemy hiding in the dark while he himself was out in the open, and even under this circumstance of a great disparity in strength, acting carelessly was not a wise choice. Thus, he slowly stepped one small step behind him, then another step while still looking at Gu Mengmeng intently, not blinking at all.
Lea slammed his brakes just at the entrance of the cave before panting two breaths to not appear alarmed or bewildered. Then, he walked into the cave and put on a casual and indifferent front, saying, “Mengmeng, you still had not done two of the conditions you promised me.”
The corners of Gu Mengmeng’s lips curved upwards and she gave a cold laugh, “You’re saving the show, aren’t you? So, ‘this kind of life’ is what you two had been rehearsing and putting together all this while, huh?”
Lea gave a glance at Elvis who was still at a loss and did not know what mistake he made. Pitying his misfortune and condemning his resignation with deep hatred and resentment, he breathed in deeply before smiling, “How could we have rehearsed this before? It’s just because Elvis’s the tribe leader and I’m the witch doctor, that’s why we spent more time together and naturally formed a suitable partnership that had good teamwork.”
Gu Mengmeng stuck out a finger and gestured a ‘shh’ hand signal before pointing at Elvis and hooking her finger, saying, “Hubby, come over.”
From his own instincts, Elvis felt that it might be dangerous, but it was Xiao Meng who was calling him, how could he not go over? Thus, he summoned up all his courage and walked to Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng grinned cheekily while touching Elvis’s face. Then… she abruptly pulled his ear up and shouted, “All of you are thousand-year foxes, what strange tales are you trying to cook up in front of me? Hurry and come clean, what exactly was ‘this kind of life’?”
Lea looked at Elvis’s ear that was being pulled up and winced in pain. He covered his own ears out of instincts and could feel the pain even from a distance.
Elvis tilted his head and turned his face following Gu Mengmeng’s strength. He bared his teeth in agony and cried, “Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng, don’t be angry. I’ll say alright, I’ll say!”
Gu Mengmeng then let him go and dusted her hands before wrapping her arms in front of her chest. Hugging her shoulders and straightening her neck, she looked at Elvis and commanded, “Say!”
Elvis was scared that Gu Mengmeng would get angry again, so he said while covering his ears, “Lea said that according to records, we have a high chance of getting a messenger of the Beast Deity. To keep the messenger of the Beast Deity in the tribe and to protect her well, the best way was for us to mate with her. That’s why we lived so many years of our lives together so that we can train our teamwork and coordination abilities in order to take better care of you after we mate…”
Gu Mengmeng raised her hand and cut short Elvis’s words. Raising her brow at Elvis, she said with a smile that deflated morale, “When both of you were training, do you know that the messenger of the Beast Deity was me?”
