Chapter 960 - No Such Need, She’s Not My Type.
Dora?
Gu Mengmeng narrowed her eyes and glanced at Wabei. “If I remember correctly, the female mermaid who framed Melinda then was called Dora.”
Wabei nodded. “I think so.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled. “Do you think it is her?”
Wabei shrugged. “It doesn’t make a difference whether it is her.”
“That’s true.” Gu Mengmeng also didn’t wish to pursue this matter. She just treated it as a casual remark and didn’t take it to heart.
Leonard returned to face Gu Mengmeng again. He bowed before gesturing welcome. “Great Messenger, please come this way.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded but didn’t say a word.
The group walked to the center of the tribe territory, to see a tall pagoda made of stacked wood. It was thickly stained with blood at the top, which gleamed darkly under the sunlight together with the smell of blood.
Gu Mengmeng frowned and pointed at the wooden pagoda. “This is… a male just came of age?”
Leonard nodded. “Yes, one of our males matured into adulthood yesterday night.”
Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists as she remembered the so-called “night campfire party” that Elvis and Lea had prepared for her. The veins at her temples throbbed as she yearned for the chance to abolish this practice. It was really unbearable.
Wabei and Peter didn’t know how Gu Mengmeng felt about that wooden pagoda, but Elvis and Lea knew the structure offended Gu Mengmeng’s eye. The two of them exchanged looks and tacitly avoided mentioning the pagoda. Instead, Lea stepped forward and surveyed Dora, who was still seated upon the white tiger.
“Are you Dora?” Lea smiled formally. His lips curled in a practiced movement, striking the perfect balance between remoteness and politeness.
Males were very wary about other males going near their own females. Even those who already have partners were no exception. Moreover…
Lea was just too good looking. Leonard could not help noticing the happy surprise in Dora’s eyes when she saw Lea.
They were both fourth-level beasts. Leonard stepped forward to stand between Dora and Lea, who laughed and glanced at Leonard with a smirk. “Are you guarding against me?”
Leonard didn’t admit or deny it. He just stood there unwavering.
Chuckling, Lea casually stepped back. “No such need. She’s not my type.”
Leonard knew Gu Mengmeng was the Messenger of the Beast Deity and admitted that she was beautiful. But he still felt offended to hear someone say that his own female was “not my type”. He wanted to retort but couldn’t find the right words to do so. Clenching his fists, he felt the urge to attack Lea.
“The Great Messenger is the daughter of the Beast Deity World, and is of course the best in the world.” Dora gently tugged at Leonard’s arm. With just one look, she extinguished the fire in Leonard’s chest. She then continued. “Mister Lea is the male of the Messenger, so it is only natural he will never fancy a lowly female like Dora. Leonard didn’t mean that. Mister Lea, please don’t take offense.”
“You are not lowly.” Leonard clenched his fists and furrowed his brows as he looked at Dora with much tenderness.
Dora shook her head, indicating that he shouldn’t speak another word. Leonard was unsatisfied but he complied.
