Chapter 1252 - Visitor With Ill Intentions
“If you don’t choose… I am going to call Mengmeng now…” Lea made to enter the house.
“I promise you.” Elvis instinctively grabbed hold of Lea as he gave a bitter laugh. “I am the first partner but am still being led by the nose by you.”
Lea chuckled. “That is because you know I am right and my plans are always the most comprehensive. Don’t worry, I have fought so hard to woo Mengmeng back—I will not die so easily and abandon her.”
Elvis nodded. “The best-case scenario is if the two of us can forever protect her and never come to any harm.”
Lea nodded. “Alright. Is there anything else? Stay on if you wish to continue enjoying the moonlight. I am heading back in to hold my Mengmeng in bed…”
Elvis chuckled but didn’t reply. He just followed Lea back into the stone castle.
It was possible their worries were completely unnecessary. Or perhaps it was because Gu Mengmeng’s near brush with death had cast such a deep shadow down in their hearts that they now had a phobia of it. As such, they could no longer bear to see her get hurt or bleed. That was why they had nearly gone crazy when she had a nosebleed. Just a splinter in her finger would cause their heart to ache for days…
So before they found the Love of the Sky, there was no way they would let her bear children.
Gu Mengmeng never knew of this late night chat between Elvis and Lea.
Things became busier during the latter part of the dry season. Sauder now had more than 10 times the number of tribes, and the population within the territory surged as a result. That one water well was no longer enough to provide for everyone. In the end, there was no choice but to ration water by the household, with priority going to those families with young children. Consequently, Sandy’s household became the first to draw water everyday. Not only did she have children, she was also helping to raise two young females.
Gu Mengmeng expressed no opinion on this and so naturally no one else dared to say anything.
As a result, Sandy’s status in Sauder gradually changed. Sandy herself remained oblivious to the shift, but apart from Gu Mengmeng, everyone else in Sauder became even more respectful and courteous toward Sandy.
Hede and Jialue were kept busy from day till night about the water source issue. That was when an unexpected visitor came to Sauder.
This visitor from the skies raised quite a furore within Sauder. He instantly stood out from the crowd as he emitted an extremely strong aura. Just one glance from his sharp eyes made everyone want to take three steps back. This had nothing to do with the differences in levels, as he did not unleash any beast pressure at all. But the effect was still spine-chilling.
“Oh?” Elvis glanced lazily at the wild wolf who came to report this new development. He frowned and as he turned to Lea. “Even with two Beast Kings here, there is still someone who dares to barge in…”
Lea stood up and patted himself off. “Worried that this visitor harbors ill intentions? You keep Mengmeng company. I will go receive our “guest”.”
Lea had been with Elvis for so long that he understood wolf language. There was no need for Elvis to translate what that wild wolf told him.
But Gu Mengmeng was like an outsider. She stared uncomprehendingly at her two males as if they were speaking in riddles. She asked, “What happened? Who? Stray beasts?”
Lea pinched Gu Mengmeng’s chin. “Even Wabei is scared of you—which other stray beast would dare to come? From what was described… it should be someone we have been waiting for. But I must go and verify his identity first before deciding whether you can meet him.”
