Chapter 683: Battle Debriefing
In the end, Kanwu still broke the leopard’s neck with his bite. With a mouth full of blood, he flung the leopard’s head to the side before morphing back into his human form of a neat and tidy-looking six-year-old boy.
Raising his head, he fixed a pair of calm, blue eyes on Gu Mengmeng. He looked somewhat clueless and uncertain as if he had scored 80 points on a test and was looking at his mother to see if she was going to praise or criticize him.
Burke jumped off the tree first before holding out his arms to catch Gu Mengmeng.
This was as instructed by Elvis, to not allow Gu Mengmeng to jump off from a high place directly. Although she had Snake’s healing abilities and would recover quickly, any injury would cause pain.
However, Gu Mengmeng was somewhat single-minded now and only had eyes for her sons. She immediately jumped down without hesitation.
Burke caught Gu Mengmeng firmly. He was momentarily dazed as he watched her leap off the tree, feeling a moment of bliss at her trust in him. Even though she had not even glanced at him the entire time, he felt extremely satisfied.
Burke didn’t know that Gu Mengmeng was just confident of herself. It wasn’t that she believed Burke would definitely catch her, but that she knew she was perfectly capable of that jump.
After flipping off from Burke’s arms, Gu Mengmeng hugged Kanwu and gave him a big kiss. “Kanwu, come here. Open your mouth and let me see your teeth.”
Kanwu didn’t know what was going on but obediently opened his mouth for his mother to check.
His clean, white teeth showed no signs of damage. Gu Mengmeng prodded his teeth with her finger to make sure that none of them were loose, before letting Kanwu close his jaws. She planted another kiss on his round face. “Kanwu’s teeth are growing so well. It was effortless for him to bite into something so hard. My teeth are not as good as yours, I can only eat softer things.”
Kanwu poked at his own teeth like Gu Mengmeng did. He looked closely at Gu Mengmeng’s smiling face, and hesitated a moment before reaching out one plumb hand to prod Gu Mengmeng’s front teeth. “Mother’s teeth are also very good. Straight and beautiful. You are a female and do not need to bite hard stuff. I will leave the best parts of a prey for mother to eat.”
Gu Mengmeng was touched to tears and showered kisses on Kanwu until he blushed red.
Jialue came up and asked, “Mother, did I perform well? Why are you only praising Kanwu?”
Gu Mengmeng also pulled Jialue into her embrace and kissed him several times. “Of course you performed well. Do you know how anxious I was when I saw you lure that leopard over all by yourself? I was already seeing special effects.”
Jialue asked, “What special effects?”
Gu Mengmeng thought for a moment before answering. “Like using a chopper to hack at an electric line. Spark and electricity shooting everywhere. Very dashing~”
Hede lifted Chixuan back into his arms and walked up to Gu Mengmeng. He poked Kanwu’s little head. “Your performance today is not good enough. I hope you won’t commit the same mistake in the future.”
Gu Mengmeng was shocked. Was this the debriefing of that battle? What? Wasn’t that Burke’s job? Why? Was Hede the representative?
As someone who dared to provoke Elvis, Kanwu was nonetheless extremely compliant towards Hede. He did not retort at all, but lowered his head. “Brother, I know my mistake. I will not do it again.”
