Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

Gu Mengmeng wanted to lift her arm to return Elvis’ hug, but only felt her arms were too heavy and unable to be lifted.

 Sighing, Gu Mengmeng said, “Elvis, let go of me. I need to wear the clothes that Snake left behind for me.”

Elvis released slowly, feeling as if a piece of skin was ripped from his chest.

 Gu Mengmeng had always valued privacy, only changing in the cave, and even making him stay away most of the time.

 However this time, she stood out in the open, removing the beast skin she originally wore on her body, then carefully wearing the clothes made from the shedded snake skin.

 Gu Mengmeng tilted her head, asking, “Does it look nice?”

 Elvis nodded, “No matter what Xiao Meng wears, you look nice in it.”

 The edges of Gu Mengmeng’s lips tried to lift, but she found herself incapable of smiling, and could only sit back onto the rock, squinting her eyes while looking up at the sun, “Where’s Lea? I haven’t seen him since I woke up.”

 Elvis replied, “He said… he had some things, he wanted to settle.”

 Gu Mengmeng replied, “Cole?”

 Elvis stayed silent without a word.

 Gu Mengmeng responded, “Even if Cole broke his tail, he is still a peak fifth-level orc, and Lea alone… won’t be able to win him.”

 With that, Gu Mengmeng looked into the distance, “Go find Lea, tell him I’m waiting for him and call him back.”

 Elvis looked in the direction of Gu Mengmeng’s gaze, and only saw movements in the grass. If one did not look closely, they would think it was merely the grass moving because of the wind. However, a fifth-level beast has excellent vision, and he instantly saw traces of colorful snakes in the bushes.

 “You…” Elvis was rather confused.

 Gu Mengmeng lowered her head, not looking into Elvis’ eyes, only gently rubbing the back of her neck, “Sorry, I agreed that I would only have your mark on my body. But…”

 Elvis replied, “Xiao Meng, Snake is the strongest of the Kings, I had nothing against you mating with him.”

 Gu Mengmeng shook her head, “Snake did not mate with me, this mark… is a protection mark, not a mating mark.”

 Elvis furrowed his brows, asking, “Protection mark?”

 Gu Mengmeng nodded slightly, “I was almost killed by Ellie, and my bones were shattered into smithereens, even if I was saved, I would have been disabled, and probably would never be able to stand again. Furthermore, Ellie had used the most lethal form of venom in her last bite that she put all her energy into… Even Snake would not be able to clear it in a short span of time. So, he used the most simple, crude method to solve the problem.

 Elvis remained silent, for he did not know the full story.

 He only knew that the colorful snakes had sealed the entrance of the cave after Snake carried Gu Mengmeng back that day. By the time the snakes had left, there was only an unconscious Gu Mengmeng in the cave, and a huge piece of shedded snake skin beside her.

 Gu Mengmeng calmed herself down, then continued, “He cut open his chest and gave me his gallbladder to neutralize the venom in my body so I could live. He then injected millenniums of disciplines in my body. Other than that snake skin, his everything… is on this mark. Oh, now the snake skin is on my body too.”

 Gu Mengmeng continued, “Do you know why he wanted the mark on the back of my neck?”

 Elvis shook his head. Based on Snake’s domineering personality, he would have imprinted the mark on Gu Mengmeng’s chest, occupying that position.

 However, he chose the back of her neck? Why?
