Chapter 802
Peter clenched his fists and growled angrily. “Even so, why didn’t she just kill me?! If she hates me, she can just kill me!”
“She didn’t have a partner who could defeat you, how to kill you?” Gu Mengmeng growled right back at him.
Peter smirked. “If she wanted me to die, just one word from her is enough. I will personally dig open my own chest and pluck out my heart for her. As long as I can bring her a little bit of happiness, just a little would be enough…”
Gu Mengmeng was totally speechless. How did the males in this Beast World get such a weird viewpoint on love? It was as twisted as instant noodles.
“But she never even tried once. She must have truly hated me to use such a method to torment me…” Peter slumped down on the ground as if drained of all energy. The wound on his leg had split open and blood was flowing from it. But he appeared not to have noticed and just continued, “Even though I became a stray beast, I still love her… no matter how many females were snatched over, I never touched any of them. I would feel disgusted if it was not her… so I kept going back to snatch her.”
“I thought that since I am already a stray beast, snatching females is one of the most common acts. So what if our mating contract has dissolved? I just want her to remain by my side. I want to torture her, take my revenge on her. In the end, I remained utterly defeated before her. My world turned to chaos whenever she cried… ha, everyone says that stray beasts are heartless. So why does my heart still hurts so much?!”
Gu Mengmeng frowned. “In that case, why did you still go and kill her partners and make her sad?”
Peter looked up and stared at Gu Mengmeng for a second before laughing out. “Does she still think that those partners were killed by me? After so many years, she still thinks so… she still doesn’t believe that I will never hurt her…”
Gu Mengmeng frowned as she thought to herself: Could it be a misunderstanding?
But she clearly said that every time Peter went out, some marks on her body would disappear. Once or twice could be a coincidence, but every single time?
Peter sighed again. “She is ignoring me now and will never believe anything I say. If I tell you the truth, will you help me persuade her?”
Gu Mengmeng didn’t immediately assent, but just said, “It depends on how truthful you are, and whether you deserve my help.”
Misery flooded Peter’s face. “After I snatched Natalie over, her partners went on a crazed search for me. They eventually found me here and contacted other males whose females had also been snatched, to start a battle. But how could a bunch of fellows with no battle experience defeat stray beasts? Every time they attacked, I didn’t go to kill them… but to save them. However, they refused to listen to me. I also had to conceal my identity so that the other stray beasts would not discover me. I really tried my best. But I couldn’t save everyone each time. As you said, I cannot save someone who wishes to die. Their attack then was no different from a suicide mission… I tried my best. I really tried my best. But in the end, I couldn’t save any of them.”
Peter’s expression was especially grim, as if he still remembered how Natalie had looked at him with accusing eyes.
“She just saw that I came back drenched in blood and that the marks on her body disappeared—and determined that I killed her partners.”
