Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO - Chapter 169

Chapter 169: Just Like This

Despite how dumb Gu Mengmeng was, she could still notice something. She released Elvis’s arm and looked up into his eyes, asking him, “The strong clan and the reliable clan member… who is it?”

Lea was outside the cave and could not see Gu Mengmeng’s actions. He could only sense that Gu Mengmeng was not in a good mood through her voice but he still answered, “Elvis is the strongest male in Saint Nazaire and he has long been promoted to third-level beast. However, he always remained at this level because he did not have the blessing from the mating contract. I believe, as long as you mate with him, he can advance into fourth-level in no time. As long as he gets promoted successfully…..”

“Ha…” Gu Mengmeng sneered and cut off Lea’s words. She looked as if all energy was depleted from her body as she sat on her legs loosely without any strength. She looked down at her own fingers and muttered to herself, “Turns out that in your eyes, I’m just a tool for promotion.”

Lea’s heart stopped beating. At that moment, he understood what was making him feel uneasy just now.

His Mengmeng misunderstood him!

Lea wanted to open his mouth to explain but Gu Mengmeng beat him to it, “If I mate with Elvis, he will become tremendously strong. If he becomes so strong until he can handle all critical situations in the Beast World, I’ll just have him as a partner. Why is there still a need to accept the rules on this Beast World? If the strength he gained after mating with me is still not enough to handle all these danger… ha, clan. How many partners do I need to be considered a clan? Three? Five? Ten? Hundred?”

Gu Mengmeng breathed in deeply and suddenly stood up, shouting outside the cave, “Please go, I don’t want to see you again.”

Lea’s body froze. He exerted all the strength in his body but he realized that he did not even have the energy to control his fingertips.

He…

lost?

He lost Gu Mengmeng just like that? Wasn’t it something that could pass by if he just held it in, wait a while, pamper her and let her scold him?

In her heart… was he after all, just like this?

Lea really wanted to rush into the cave and explain to Gu Mengmeng. He had no time to consider the future or who was right or life and death, he just wanted to hug Gu Mengmeng and see her smile, play with her and hear her call him ‘Daddy Lea’.

When Elvis appeared at the entrance of the cave, he caught hold of Lea’s shoulder, his expression solemn and sombre. His voice was not loud but it did not allow any room for question, “She says that she doesn’t want to see you. Please leave.”

Lea grabbed onto Elvis’s wrist and cried, “I want to see her!”

Elvis did not back off and he retracted his hand while turning back. At the same time, he used his other hand to choke Lea’s neck, “Unless she agrees or I die.”

Lea was dumbfounded and he stared at Elvis with dull and absent eyes after a while, asking him, “The battle that day, if I did not surrender… would you have really bitten me to death? You won’t mind sacrificing one of your legs?”

Elvis remained silent for a while and nodded his head, “Yes, I will.”

Lea frowned and continued asking,”Have you ever wondered, if I die and you become a crippled beast, what will Saint Nazaire become?”

Elvis was silent for a long time once again. Then, he lifted his head and returned Lea’s gaze with determined eyes, “I’m not as clever as you and don’t have the ability to consider so many things at the same time. I only know that I can’t hand Mengmeng over to you.”

Lea was taken aback and asked, “Why?”

Elvis replied with the same tone, “Do you still remember the night you saved Xiaomeng from Quentin’s hands?”
