Chapter 28 - Rabbit or Deer?
“No!” Gu Mengmeng’s reaction was even bigger than Elvis so she simply wrapped both her hands around Elvis’s neck, putting on a not coming down even if she dies’ front, “Bring me along, what if Nina’s other partners trouble me after you leave?”
“Hmm?” Although Elvis was enjoying Gu Mengmeng’s reliance a lot, but how could his female live her life in anxiety like this?
Elvis felt that he ought to have a ‘heart-to-heart chat’ with Nina’s partners.
“You promise to defend me…..” Gu Mengmeng said shamelessly.
“Ok.” Elvis rubbed Gu Mengmeng’s little head gently, his mind suddenly surfacing the adorable look of her staring at him while supporting her cheeks with both of her hands after parting her hair that was made messy by him.
Actually, it was just yesterday.
But at the time, she was not his sidekick yet.
He was feeling rather happy and the corners of his lips curved slightly upwards unknowingly. Carrying Gu Mengmeng out of the cave, he let the radiant sunlight shine on his face, giving a bright glow. From afar, he looked like a warlord who descended from the ninth heaven.
Elvis and Gu Mengmeng’s appearance at Saint Nazaire caused a huge commotion. It was partly because of Gu Mengmeng’s beauty, no matter how many times one saw it, it was quite astonishing in the beast world. It was also due to the fact that the rite of the Deity’s Punishment was being executed. What Quentin did to Gu Mengmeng invited public outrage.
Laying hands on a young female was an action too vicious! Especially on a beautiful young female like Gu Mengmeng.
Everyone wanted to come forward to comfort Gu Mengmeng but seeing how she was huddled up in Elvis’s embrace, frightened like a little white rabbit, they could not bear to do it.
After all, every male in Saint Nazaire was responsible for the terrifying experience she went through due to their lack of protection.
“Why are they looking at me like that?” Despite how slow-witted Gu Mengmeng was, she felt something wrong with close to hundred pairs of eyes staring at her, thus she whispered next to Elvis’s ear.
Elvis’s ears were more sensitive than any other ordinary orc. Gu Mengmeng’s soft breath caused his heart to tense and beat wildly.
Seeing how Elvis was not answering, Gu Mengmeng looked up, distancing herself from Elvis’s face. She tilted her head to look at him with an expression that resembled a well-behaved child who was waiting for an answer badly.
Elvis did not answer Gu Mengmeng’s question. He was still unwilling to disclose too much about the Deity’s Punishment.
“Rabbit or deer?” Elvis tried to switch a topic.
“Huh?” Gu Mengmeng was confused.
“Rabbit meat is smoother while deer meat is softer. Which do you want to eat?” Elvis thought for a while and continued, “Or are you craving for something else? If the tribe doesn’t have it, I can hunt for you.”
“Oh, no need to trouble you.” Gu Mengmeng’s curiosity long vanished into the ninth region of heaven after Elvis’s words. After all, satisfying her own needs was more serious.
Deer meat sounded very nourishing but Gu Mengmeng felt that as a good citizen who abides by the law, she dared not try first class national protected animals so she grinned and said, “I want rabbit meat.”
Elvis nodded his head and headed towards the cave where the tribe stored their food. Due to the overly cold air in the cave, he placed Gu Mengmeng at the cave entrance. Gu Mengmeng contemplated, Elvis was just in the cave, Elvis will definitely save her in time with his speed as long as she shouts loudly. She then let go of Elvis’s neck and waited at the entrance, well-behaved.
Not long later, a piece of bloody meat that have a strong iron smell appeared before Gu Mengmeng’s eyes. Elvis held the meat and said, pampering her, “Eat.”
