Chapter 716 - Cleanse Your Eyes
Gu Mengmeng gave a cold laugh. “Heh, Cole is indeed a very daring and confident person. Are you not afraid that I will kill you after Chixuan wakes up?”
Cole continued to look as if Gu Mengmeng’s every word was a sweet nothing to him. He replied in a warm and loving tone, “The antidote I will give young master Chixuan is just a temporary one. He will need to take it at regular intervals. If there is a break in the cycle… the poison suppressed in his body will spread at an exponential rate. At that point, even the Beast Deity himself cannot salvage the situation. For young master Chixuan’s sake, my dear mistress will not bear to let me die, right?”
Gu Mengmeng gritted her teeth in anger, but was hapless before Cole’s machinations.
Grinding her teeth, Gu Mengmeng said, “That’s right, I really cannot bear to have you die.”
A look of gentle wonder bloomed across Cole’s face. He grinned. “To hear my dear mistress say that, I can die without regrets.”
Gu Mengmeng closed her eyes, she could no longer stand to look at Cole for another second.
Lea wrapped his big tail lightly across Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders. He then faced Gu Mengmeng directly and kissed each of her eyes. “Mmm, we need to cleanse your eyes.”
With that, he tugged gently at Gu Mengmeng’s little hand to pull her from Elvis’ arms into his own embrace. He placed her hand on top of his heart and then reached over to pull off the animal hide which Elvis was wearing. Gu Mengmeng was momentarily stunned before blushing a fiery red. He whispered into her left ear. “How about it? Has your eyes been thoroughly cleansed?”
Pfft…
Gu Mengmeng felt her nose would bleed out at any second now. With trembling hands, she quickly covered Elvis again with the animal hide. “What happens in the family should stay in the family!”
Elvis couldn’t help laughing at her reaction. He teasingly held her waist with one arm and propped up her chin with the other hand. Narrowing his clear, blue eyes, he said in a raspy voice, “Last night… you weren’t saying such things.”
The fox seductive fragrance would make a person secrete vast amounts of adrenaline, numbing the cognitive part of the brain while magnifying the limbic part. However, unlike alcohol, a person’s memories would remain intact, and she clearly remembered everything that had happened the past two days.
With Elvis announcing that to the whole world, Gu Mengmeng could no longer maintain her imperious demeanor.
She clambered onto Elvis’ chest and sealed his mouth with both hands. “You are not allowed to speak!”
“Urgh.” Elvis’ eyes darkened as he gazed at Gu Mengmeng with an indescribable expression.
Gu Mengmeng gave a start before realizing where her knee was positioned. With a light leap, she returned to Lea’s embrace, her face red as a tomato. She burrowed into Lea’s shoulder, as if she was afraid to face anyone else.
Elvis and Lea exchanged a look. Their hearts felt a tad lighter.
Good, they had found a way to tease Mengmeng. Regarding matters of the heart, she seemed more sensitive now than before.
Meanwhile, Cole’s intense jealousy was ignited as he witnessed the entire scene.
When Auretin returned with Chixuan—Sandy, Bode, Collin and the three young ones had also tagged along.
With Chixuan in her arms, Sandy walked over to Gu Mengmeng while guardedly watching Cole. She asked in a small voice, “Are you really going to hand Chixuan over to that bad guy?”
