Chapter 578: Was This A Silent Consent?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Elvis smiled slightly, to be honest, he could completely understand Snake.
The reason why he was so anxious in finding the three little wolf cubs was not because he had any special favorable impression towards them. Instead, it was because Gu Mengmeng would never give up no matter what if she could not find them.
And although Snake silently consented Elvis and Lea in searching for the kids in the Snake King Valley, he might be helping Ellie to hide the kids on the other hand.
There was no reason other than….Gu Mengmeng changing her next agenda ‘to leaving him’ once she found her kids.
The promise and baseline he gave her was that the kids being controlled by Ellie were safe and sound but Gu Mengmeng could never find them.
That way, she had to stay behind to continue searching.
What if Gu Mengmeng suddenly lost interest in her kids one day and thought it through to just give birth to another nest of babies?
That time, he and Lea would be the second wave of ‘persistence’ to hold Gu Mengmeng back.
So, despite how much Snake hated them, he could only use his venom to prevent them from escaping instead of really executing his intention to kill them.
Or else, so what if he was a fifth-level beast? In front of such a psychotic fellow like Snake, he was really too weak to withstand a single blow from him.
The ruckus in the house were caught by the two people outside the cave.
Just when Elvis was trying to come up with a reply to Gu Mengmeng’s words, Snake and Lea had walked back in.
What had reduced was the bunch of colorful snakes.
Gu Mengmeng was quite surprised as she asked, “Huh? Where’s your bunch of people? Are they not following you anymore?”
Snake glanced at Lea before replying her, “They’re scared I’ll feed them to you so they ran away.”
Of course, Gu Mengmeng did not believe him, just based on the gaze he gave Lea just now, she knew that Lea must had said something to him outside the cave and convinced him in getting rid of this surveillance measure.
But even though she saw through him, she did not expose him. Was there a need for someone to lose face?
Thus, Gu Mengmeng pretended she did not see through him as she chuckled and said, “Look, the ending of most tyrants is desertion by his followers. If you always threaten to ‘eat’ them up, you’ll definitely scare them away.”
Gu Mengmeng did not know that with a casual joke from her, Snake did not say that sentence anymore in his entire life.
“Mengmeng,” Lea swayed his tail and walked to Gu Mengmeng, requesting, “I was also scared by him today so you’ve to accompany me to sleep tonight.”
Gu Mengmeng stared at Snake and upon seeing how he had no intention to oppose, she commended Lea in her heart for being able to control Elvis and pacify Snake. Tsk tsk tsk, a third-level beast controlling a fifth-level beast and a Beast King truly deserves a thumbs-up.
“Alright, you two can stay behind and sleep with me. What nice timing, I was craving for some warmth these past few days.” As Gu Mengmeng said, she opened her arms wide and waited for Lea to pounce into her embrace.
However, Elvis was the one who carried Gu Mengmeng up as he commented, “It’s too chilly in here and it’s not suitable for you. You’ll stay with us for a few days.”
Gu Mengmeng looked towards Snake on her instincts and noticed that although he was unwilling, he did not stop them as he tilted his head to one side and kept quiet.
Was this a……silent consent?
Gu Mengmeng broke out into a wide grin and gave Lea two thumbs-up.
Lea raised his chin in delight as he said while swaying his large tail, “Alright, we’ll leave first. I bet Snake didn’t rest well when Mengmeng was staying here. You can make use of these few days to recuperate properly.”
Gu Mengmeng was then carried out of Snake’s cave by Elvis in an imposing manner. When they exited the cave, she could not help but ask, “I wanted to see you two once before and if I didn’t put on an ill aura, I would’ve failed. What exactly did you tell him? He actually agreed to let me leave with you guys after hearing just a few sentences from you?”
