Chapter 667: Irreplaceable but Destructible
Lea shook his head and said, “Only pure white snow foxes can feel God’s orders to decode the hidden message in the deduction methods. And others…..can’t understand anything even if they learn the deduction methods.”
Upon mentioning the Beast Deity, Gu Mengmeng rolled her eyes and muttered, feeling unhappy, “He doesn’t look that reliable, why do you guys trust him so much?”
Lea rubbed Gu Mengmeng’s little head and said, “When I was struggling in the hate I had towards Cole during my banishment, I asked myself the same question too. Am I really a child blessed by the Beast Deity? Why did I need to undergo this hardship? Until….he guided me to you. I then understood that he really cared for me, he didn’t allow me to waste my luck on other places because I had to gather enough luck to meet you and accompany you. As compared to you, the things I went through didn’t deserve to be mentioned at all.”
Elvis said similar words before…..
Gu Mengmeng turned to look at Elvis with a deep gaze.
Her two males always used the words ‘didn’t deserve to be mentioned’ to describe their painful pasts.
But how could she believe them?
How many times had they experience a close shave and had their lives hanging on a thread to exchange a ‘didn’t deserve to be mentioned’?
Sighing, Gu Mengmeng held Lea’s hand and said while looking at him tenderly, “The child who’s blessed received the protection and preferential treatment from the entire tribe so Cole got jealous, right?”
Lea nodded his head in agreement and chuckled, as if this was someone else’s story. “Yeah, if he wanted to be the tribe leader, he just have to kill eldest brother but even if he kills me…..he can’t replace me. I asked him why he harmed me on the day he banished me. He replied, ‘Because you’re the Ninth Highness’. Irreplaceable but destructible… this should be what he meant.
Gu Mengmeng’s heart ached for Lea, what could have hurt more than being betrayed and harmed by someone you rely on with all your heart?
However, Lea smiled in a carefree and lively manner and pecked Gu Mengmeng’s little face. He said, “I was scared that you will react this way so I didn’t want to tell you all these. All of these happened in the past, I don’t take them to heart anymore.”
Gu Mengmeng clamped her lips and remained silent.
Don’t take them to heart?
If he really forgot, put it down and let bygones be bygones, why would he establish Saint Nazaire? And he even dared to include the messenger of the Beast Deity in his plan of retribution. As a witch doctor, he should be clearer than anyone else that plotting against the messenger of the Beast Deity was a huge disrespect to the Beast Deity and he would undergo torment and punishment. But despite being aware of that, he still went ahead to do it.
How was this forgiving and letting things go?
Lea pinched Gu Mengmeng’s little face and said, “If you continue looking at me with such worry, I cannot continue my story.”
Gu Mengmeng turned around to lie into Lea’s arms.
She placed her back against his chest and lay her head on his shoulder. Closing her eyes, she said, “I won’t look at you, you can continue.”
Lea kissed her hair before continuing, “I want to win Cole because I want to learn how to ponder over questions from his point of view. Thus, I started imitating his actions, guessing his thoughts….slowly, I started to forget how the original Lea was. My state had become the ‘Cole’s state’. Strictly speaking….I’m just Cole’s counterfeit item, a high quality one.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and said, “So, that was why you said you were worried that I would fall in love with Cole when I was lured into Sauder by him, right?”
