Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO - Chapter 1073

Chapter 1073: I Only Held Back As I Was Afraid You Won’t Like It.

Joshua couldn’t withstand the silent scrutiny of a fifth-level beast like Elvis. His heart was racing so quickly that it was nearly jumping out of his chest. Nevertheless, he still stole a fleeting glimpse at Gu Mengmeng, who remained nestled in Elvis’ embrace and had not even glanced at him once.

He was not qualified to be a challenger but couldn’t bear to give up.

Lowering his head, he dared not look Elvis in the eye. Even so, he spoke up in a trembling voice. “I like the Great Messenger. This is something that will never change. But I also know I am now unqualified to pursue her. So I will not do anything superfluous and make myself look pathetic before her.”

“Ha.” Elvis chuckled. He waved one hand. “What in the world made you think I will allow a piece of trash who is coveting my female to strut around in front of my Xiao Meng? I will give you two choices. Get lost now, or…”

Elvis didn’t finish his sentence but just shook himself and unleashed his fifth-level beast pressure for a moment before withdrawing it again.

Within seconds, Joshua behaved like a rapidly deflating man-sized balloon.

His knees went soft and he collapsed to his knees and reverted back to his original form. He didn’t even have the energy to flee.

Clutching his head with both his hands, Joshua buried his head tightly between his kneecaps, as he trembled all over.

Hanston had come bearing goodwill and did not intend to cause trouble. He glanced at Elvis, who looked like he might destroy the both of them if they didn’t leave now. As such, Hanston dared not delay any longer. He lifted Joshua up and said, “In that case, we will go back first. After all, we are your neighbors. We still depend on Saint Nazaire’s water source during future drought seasons.”

Elvis kept silent and just stared disdainfully at Hanston and Joshua, like a domineering ruler looking down at his lowly subjects. There was no anger on his face but no one doubted his will.

After Hanston left, Lea waved his tail and placed one arm on Elvis’ shoulder. The other hand snaked into the space within Elvis’ arms to poke at the hiding Gu Mengmeng. “Ha, he didn’t wish to embarrass himself in front of Mengmeng… ha, did he really think we would allow him to maintain a good image in front of Mengmeng?

Gu Mengmeng finally heaved a sigh of relief on seeing that the two of them had left. She leaned against Elvis’ shoulder. “He was just a first-level beast. Were you a bit too vicious? He was so scared he reverted back to his original form.”

Elvis chuckled. “If it was before, I would have just bit him to death. I only held back as I was afraid you won’t like it.

Gu Mengmeng didn’t say anything more. After all, she had heard rumors on what kind of person Elvis used to be.

He had already changed a lot of his character and habits for her. He always accommodated her, didn’t he…

Lea finished preparing lunch and Gu Mengmeng ate some before they continued their journey.

It took just half a day to travel from Frankston to Saint Nazaire. Gu Mengmeng arrived at Saint Nazaire by nightfall.

Just before they entered their territory, a group of familiar faces were already standing there waiting for Gu Mengmeng.

The two guards, Barete and Auretin, stood right at the center. In one of his rare moments, Ian was not high up on a tree but standing there in a sickly manner, looking at Gu Mengmeng with a vague smile. Beside him was Fei Rui, who stood half a head shorter. His clear eyes reflected the stars in the sky, looking so lustrous that one could hardly tear their gaze away from them.

Barete was frowning and appeared rather grim. He looked like a veteran military general who had lost a battle and was waiting to face his ruler to report on his bleak news.
