Chapter 50 - Beauty Lea
Looking at the pile of objects suspected to be a chunk of roasted meat with some charred parts and some bloody ones, Gu Mengmeng deeply felt that her compliment for Elvis moments ago was too exaggerated.
She had a deep understanding now that looks did not represent everything, not cooking skills, at least.
It was a talent to be able to turn a piece of fresh meat into a biochemical weapon.
Eat it? Gu Mengmeng definitely could not eat it.
But if she straight away say that she was not going to eat it, she could not resist Elvis’s hopeful eyes.
Gu Mengmeng struggled for a while before deciding to sacrifice her stomach to please Elvis.
After all, Leader is the truth, while looks are justice.
With a determination that she was ready to die for this, Gu Mengmeng took a bite into Elvis’s masterpiece. Her mouth was filled with a charcoal taste and there was a clucking sound whenever she chewed it. Gu Mengmeng’s taste buds had activated the self-protection mechanism and she could not even taste anything… Yes, her tongue was already numbed.
The only thing she worried about now was whether her white teeth could withstand the challenge posted by the roasted meat that was as hard as a stone…
Her stomach churned, followed by painful cramps.
Sweats trickled down Gu Mengmeng’s head, making her forced smile looked extra heartbreaking.
Males were born with sharp senses. Elvis had realized that he probably screwed up when he saw the way Gu Mengmeng had looked at the piece of roasted meat. However, he was still a little hopeful that maybe it was just not looking appetizing while being delicious? After all, he had put in 100% courage and a full loving heart to roast it.
But Gu Mengmeng was full of sweat with just one mouth. This had made Elvis recall her saying ‘Or else… I’ll die’ when she asked him to find wood the last time.
It seemed like the Beast Deity World had a unique way of cooking food and the Messenger of the Beast Deity would really die if she eats the wrong thing!
Elvis’s heart ached just thinking about that.
He stepped forward and hit away the roasted meat on Gu Mengmeng’s hand. He said with a black face, “Stop eating it.”
“Leader…” Gu Mengmeng was a little worried. Frankly speaking, Elvis had treated her well, but she was still afraid of him, especially when Elvis showed signs of anger.
Maybe, it was because she had seen Elvis in his original form. Humans have an instinctive fear towards beasts, especially animals like wolves, tigers and leopards.
“Try this piece?” A tree branch with roasted meat was stretched in front of Gu Mengmeng’s face. Gu Mengmeng looked up and saw Mr. Holy beaming with an aurora resembling god coming to her rescue.
“Thank you, beauty.” Gu Mengmeng still did not know Mr. Holy’s name, but he always jumped out to provide her sense of security at crucial moments.
He did this when Quentin almost killed her last night, and so did he when she was scared of Elvis’s rage now.
Somehow, his words of ‘don’t be scared, I’m here for you’ rang in Gu Mengmeng’s ears.
Mr. Holy replied with a faint smile, “If beauty is a nickname, mind if you add my name behind it?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded, then shook her head. She lowered her head in shame and said, “I don’t even know your name even though you saved my life… Sorry.”
“Lea.” Mr. Holy’s voice sounded as gentle as a church choir and naturally making people feel joy in their heart. “Promise me this, remember my name and never forget it, will you?”
“Beauty… Lea.” Gu Mengmeng broke into a bright smile with her eyes turning into crescents, clearly reflecting Lea’s shadow.
In this moment, it was as though there were only the two of them in the entire world.
