“What are you doing?! That scared me!” Gu Mengmeng hollered.
Wabei did not mind her chiding as he swayed his tail, clicking his tongue, saying, “Wasn’t the reason why you put in so much effort to search for that wrecked flower at the remote and desolate place just to activate the Beast King blood of your demure wolf so that he can surpass fifth-level? You’ve been clasping that flower in your hands for so many days, are you deciding to let it wilt before giving it to him?”
Upon being reminded by Wabei, Gu Mengmeng then recalled the reason for searching the Heart of the Desert was for Elvis to level up.
But she did not know why, every time she saw the flower, she felt disconsolate.
“I can’t remember where this flower came from….is is really okay to use it? Could it be Cole’s trick?” As Gu Mengmeng said, she furrowed her brows slightly and continued, “In the past, whenever we searched for the Seven Treasures, Cole would also interfere and do something disgusting. He did not appear this time round…..tsk, I feel that I’m suffering from persecution delusion, I actually feel uneasy if he doesn’t jump out like usual.”
Lea held his cheeks and said, “I find it strange too….he asked Joshua to lure you to find the Heart of the Desert but he did not appear at all….ha, this is not his usual style.”
Elvis held Gu Mengmeng’s hand and suggested, “To know whether it’s a trick, we just need to step on it.”
Gu Mengmeng widened her eyes at Elvis and said, “You want to…..no way, what if something happens to you?”
“Will you allow something to happen to me?” Elvis asked while smiling.
“I won’t allow!” Gu Mengmeng answered firmly without hesitation.
Elvis nodded and said, “I’ll always listen to Xiao Meng’s words. And I won’t do things you don’t allow, right?”
“But….” Gu Mengmeng looked at the flower in her hands and hesitated.
Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s forehead and said, “As long as you don’t allow me to die, even if I fall into hell, I’ll break the Bridge Over Troubled Waters and swim across the Lethe River. Moreover, you’ve to believe my wild beast instinct, this flower….isn’t dangerous.”
Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea but Lea smiled charmingly and said, “Yeah, use it. If he really dies, I can move up the hierarchy and become the First Partner~”
Seeing how Lea was acting indecently, Gu Mengmeng put her heart at ease.
Nodding, she asked, “Then…..are you prepared?”
Elvis nodded and said, “I always tell you that I only have you in my heart but you always don’t believe me….it’s the best timing now. Touch it, see whether my heart has other impurities other than you.”
Although it was not murder, Gu Mengmeng still shudder at the thought of cutting open Elvis’s chest with her bare hands to put the red spider lily into his heart.
What if she did not estimate well and kill Elvis?
“Why don’t we let Lea do it. He’s the witch doctor, he has better grip over his hands. I didn’t open up someone before, what if my hands shake and I become a widow….”
Elvis laughed and pulled Gu Mengmeng over, kissing her, saying, “Fool, do you feel that I will allow anyone to cut open my chest other than you? If I resist out of instincts, I’m afraid it won’t work, right? That will then kill me.”
Thinking about it, Elvis’s words made sense too.
Other than Gu Mengmeng, why would he trust others to stick their hand into his chest to touch his heart?
Gu Mengmeng took two deep breaths and said, “Alright, I’ll….I’ll do it.”
Lea pecked Gu Mengmeng’s cheek and assured her, “It’s fine to shake your hands, even if Elvis die, you still have me, you won’t become a widow~”
