Chapter 834: Killing Him Before The Deed Is Done
Gu Mengmeng was stunned by Elvis’ response. “Why is that?”
Elvis stared quietly at Gu Mengmeng. He finally spat out a question of his own after a long time. “You like Oakley?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head without even considering for a moment. “No, I don’t like him. I also don’t like Barete. So why does Barete have the right to challenge you?”
Elvis replied, “He went up onto the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment for you. He offered to be your provider before even knowing that you are the Messenger of the Beast Deity. You have praised him more than once, and… you even kissed him before.”
Gu Mengmeng admitted to the first few incidents, but kissing him? Why did Gu Mengmeng herself have no recollection of that at all?
“When did I kiss him?!”
Elvis’ gaze was profound. “You did. He was miraculously revived because you kissed him… right on the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment. Lea also saw it.”
Gu Mengmeng turned to look at Lea, who nodded reluctantly as he returned her gaze with a weird expression.
Gu Mengmeng thought about it more carefully, before recalling that it had indeed happened. That time, Barete had fainted from dehydration and needed to be fed some water in order to be revived. Gu Mengmeng had tried several ways but failed to get the water in him. In the end, she had no choice but to feed it to him using her own mouth. And she had just fed him one mouthful before being dragged away by Elvis.
Gu Mengmeng held her forehead which was beaded with sweat. “It wasn’t a kiss. I was just trying to rescue him. If I didn’t feed him some water, Lea would have taken him and skinned him to become a specimen. So scary…”
Lea who had kept silent all this while said, “If you don’t like him, what has his life or death got to do with you?
So harsh…
Gu Mengmeng didn’t dare to argue with these two about the past again. In their eyes, anyone whom she paid the slightest bit of attention to was a love rival. Even Cole, just because she mentioned his name more times than the others, he had been designated as being in a love-hate relationship with Gu Mengmeng. Now, she didn’t even dare to talk bad about Cole in front of them…
“It is true that I want to go to Sauder as I worry about them, but not because I like Barete. It is because he, Oakley and the rest of the Snow fox tribe are now my people. I am responsible for their lives and cannot pretend to ignore their situation when I obviously know they are in danger…”
Elvis relaxed and did not refute Gu Mengmeng.
He didn’t really wish to force Gu Mengmeng to admit that she liked males other than Lea and himself. So right from the start, he had been hoping for Gu Mengmeng to contradict his argument.
Since she had already denied it, he naturally wouldn’t pursue it.
What if…
What would he do if she didn’t deny it next time?
They continued to make their way to Natalie’s and right before they entered her cave, Elvis spoke up. “Xiao Meng, if another male takes your fancy one day, you must inform me in advance. Let me have some mental preparation…”
Just as Gu Mengmeng was about to say she would never bring another male into their home, Lea cut in first.
“Yes, you must tell me in advance, so that I can kill him before the deed is done.”
Gu Mengmeng was startled, before laughing out as she patted Lea’s shoulder. “Haha, being liked by me is a really dangerous matter.”
“You won’t do it?” Lea raised his eyebrows in question.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “No, if I ‘like’ someone, I will definitely tell you both in advance. If he can’t even defend himself, what right does he have to be my male?”
