Chapter 245 - Because You Made Her Cry Again
Elvis furrowed his brows tightly and clenched his fists before slowly releasing them.
He accompanied Gu Mengmeng just like that in silence until she grew tired of crying and slept soundly next to him.
How many more times was he going to see her crying for Lea? Pretending to stay quiet like that was the greatest forbearance he could do, was he still going to ask her to take Lea as a partner too?
In the past, he could suppress his heart ache to say those kind of words. However now… he was after all selfish. After tasting the ‘only’ Gu Mengmeng entrusted to him, who else was willing to break it? ‘
He was not afraid of the extreme danger in the Beast World, for Gu Mengmeng, he could shake both heaven and earth and become both a god and a demon. As long as she could be entirely protected from evil, he was willing to go all out at any price.
But, he was afraid of her tears, he could not bear seeing her force herself to give Lea up because of him despite her clearly liking Lea so much.
As long as she could become cheerful again, he was willing to take Lea in, he could definitely do it…
But why, why was Xiao Meng crying in his arms, searching for his warmth and support?
Elvis opened his eyes slowly and covered Gu Mengmeng up with the beast skin. Then, he left her and walked to the room closest to the outside.
Lea was still sitting there, looking at his tail blankly. Elvis did not bother saying anything else and just landed a punch on Lea’s face. Lea did not resist either as he was sent flying in the air before hitting the wall and sliding down to the ground.
He wiped the corner of his mouth and looked up at Elvis, asking, “Are you angry because I wasted the opportunity you created or because you’re scared that I’ll snatch your care after I make up with Mengmeng?”
Elvis stood forward and clutched Lea’s neck, staring coldly into his eyes while saying, “I’m angry because you made her cry again.”
Lea experienced the feeling of suffocation but he could only smile. He seemed like he did not have an ounce of fear towards running out of oxygen or even towards death.
Elvis suddenly let go and walked into the cave.
Looking at Elvis’s back view, Lea was confused, “Are you not killing me? Or throwing me out?”
Elvis did not look back and just said with his back still facing Lea, “I won’t do things that will make Xiao Meng sad.”
After Elvis finished speaking, he did not stop there a second longer and just headed straight to the inner part of the cave. He started a fire and placed a pot over it to cook some ginger soup. He wanted to whip up a lot of delicious food for Gu Mengmeng like Lea but his talent was limiting him and he really was helpless. As compared to the leftover rice and dishes outside, this only menu that he would not screw up appeared so much more scrubby but this was the best food he could prepare for Gu Mengmeng at the moment.
When Gu Mengmeng woke up, a lot of time had already passed.
When she realized that Elvis had woken up the moment she opened her eyes, she jumped on the spot in joy and pounced into Elvis’s arms like a butterfly, hugging onto him with no intention to let him go.
Elvis patted Gu Mengmeng’s back gently and said, “Sorry for making you worry.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, “Thank the lord for keeping you safe. As long as you’re alright, I won’t haggle over things.”
Elvis felt a warm sensation in his heart and also quite a fair bit of guilt because his feigned unconsciousness made Xiao Meng worried.
What a pity, his difficulties were not worth mentioning.
“The energy I stored in third-level was too strong so when I was promoted, I lost control and fainted after my body couldn’t withstand the energy that was sent out. Actually, I’m fine, look, don’t I look alright?”
