Chapter 274 - Keeping Your Own Counsel, Huh?
Lea did not force Gu Mengmeng to give him any reaction, but only laughed as he stood up to walk out of the cave. As he turned, it was unknown as to whether he had intentionally brushed his huge tail against her hips. Through her clothes, it made her feel limp and numb.
Elvis then brought Gu Mengmeng back to the deep end of the cave. Due to the repeated times having shattered the snow blocking the entrance of the outermost cavern, it lost its capability to be sealed. The cold wind kept entering the cave with Lea’s entrance and exits.
Gu Mengmeng still felt slightly cold as she was carried back into her own cavern, so she told Elvis to block the entrance using beast skin. Elvis punched two blocks of firewood that had thicknesses comparable to that of an arm onto the top of the wall. A piece of mottled tiger skin was tightly tied around the firewood with his front claws, creating a rough but unusually extravagant beast skin curtain. There was not much wind that could reach Gu Mengmeng through the obstacles created by various curvatures of the cave. With the tiger skin in addition to Elvis’ unlimited supply of firewood, Gu Mengmeng had the warmest cavern.
Gu Mengmeng sat on her seat, kicking her little feet boredly, looking at Elvis and asked, “Hubby, can you let me hug your tail?”
Elvis was just adding a pot of hot water to heat using the fire to ensure sufficient moisture in the cave, preventing her from nose bleeding again. His arms stopped moving as he turned around to look at her, “I thought… you didn’t like it.”
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head, asking, “Why wouldn’t I? You are my husband.”
Elvis placed the pot carefully and returned to Gu Mengmeng’s side. He did not sit onto the bed, but folded his legs and sat on the floor with his shoulders against Gu Mengmeng’s knee, pulling her tiny hands and playing with them gently. His gaze was a little bleak, and even though the fire was clearly near, it was not enough to light up his eyes.
“My original form is not as beautiful as Lea’s, I don’t have that white and soft fur like his…”
Gu Mengmeng held Elvis’ neck and shook it. She knew Elvis would feel inferior to Lea, mostly because she had shown too much infatuation towards his original form in the past and neglected Elvis’ feelings that had caused him to feel so self-abashed. Slightly guilty, Gu Mengmeng’s voice softened, “Is it because of this, that you rarely transform into your original from in front of me?”
Elvis nodded, avoiding her gaze for the first time as he was afraid to see annoyance and disgust in her eyes.
Yeah, who would like themselves when they are fully black as compared to Lea who was so lovable?
Gu Mengmeng held Elvis’ face and turned it towards herself, looking straight into his eyes, saying, “But I have already mated with you, so I can’t do anything to others’ bodies, right? I’m pregnant with your baby, do you really have the heart to not grant such a little wish of mine? Hmm?”
Elvis did not give her a reply, only slowly transforming out his tail. He did not show it arrogantly like how Lea did confidently since he still felt slightly embarrassed of his black tail. He wanted to gain her love and recognition, yet was afraid things would go south and cause her to despise him. So, he hid his tail behind him, only revealing it slightly, hesitating, hesitating…
Gu Mengmeng could not bother so much with him. She grabbed Elvis’ huge tail and hugged it in her arms, scrutinizing it carefully before saying with a shocked expression, “Wow, keeping your own counsel, huh?”
