Chapter 230 - If I Don’t Make It Back
Gu Mengmeng was speechless, no wonder Quentin was Nina’s first partner, as all of Nina’s partners in the past were dead because of her.
“Then how did this trouble end up in Saint Nazaire?” Gu Mengmeng asked with disgust written over her face.
“Quentin’s wish of mating with Nina was fulfilled after getting down from the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment, he then brought the expelled Nina away from their original tribe. There was another half-orc female that was good friends with the one that died. To take revenge for her friend’s death, she asked all the males to corner Nina and Quentin at the periphery of the tribe. Quentin’s wings were injured in the battle and unable to fly ever since. After that, they came to Saint Nazaire. Saint Nazaire then had only two half-orc females, Sandy and Maya. Although Nina had a notorious history, she was a precious complete female, in addition to Quentin’s power, Lea had advised me to let them in.”
Gu Mengmeng rested on Elvis’s knees and listened to him telling the story. She did not interrupt, just paying attention quietly.
Elvis trusted Lea’s decision, so he let Nina in without any words. It was actually proven later that Lea’s decision had solved almost half of Saint Nazaire’s mating problem.
Elvis brushed Gu Mengmeng’s hair, before continuing, “Because of that special potion, Nina could not leave any male’s mark on her body despite her mating again. This was the punishment of the Beast Deity, she could no longer receive protection by the Beast Deity. As for Quentin, although Lea had healed his wings to allow for short-term flying, it would be impossible for him to carry heavy things and fly again. So the previous time when he wanted to assassinate you, he could not just bring you to the sky and drop you down. You idiot… You had escaped because of this, yet you still felt unworthy for Quentin after you came back.”
Gu Mengmeng thought for a while and agreed she had indeed acted stupid.
She let out a wry smile and did not reply.
Elvis tapped on Gu Mengmeng’s nose and continued, “Do you think, for females like Nina, they would realize if one, or some, of her partners are gone?”
Gu Mengmeng paused to think, before shaking her head in dismay.
Elvis smiled and said sadly, “Indeed, she won’t even realize. But Nina’s case is common in the Beast World. Sandy was an exception, she only mates with males that she like, the reason why she had so little partners and also one of the reasons Nina dislikes her and bullies her.
Only then did Gu Mengmeng realized that Elvis beat around such a big bush to answer her previous question.
If all these females were like Nina in the Beast World, it would be so pathetic for the males to be their partners.
Gu Mengmeng tugged herself into Elvis’s arms and hugged him tightly, “You are my husband, the only husband in the entire world. I don’t have any other partners except for you, So if you do anything in the future, please think of me. How can I survive in this dangerous Beast World on my own if you don’t come back? You must protect yourself for me, don’t you ever leave me alone, understand?”
Elvis was stunned… The only one?
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng’s back. Feeling a little touched and a little sentimental, he said, “In the future, you will have more and more wonderful partners. If I really don’t make it back one day…”
