With that, Elvis swept a cold glance across the faces of the crowd.
Ha, have they realized their own place? Did they think gathering by the Beast King’s side was like joining a new tribe? That as long they were strong enough, they could make any request they wanted to the leader?
Dream on.
Elvis jumped off from the rock and cut a path through the crowd of wolf beasts. He strolled along casually as he said, “Today is the first time I am meeting you all as a Beast King, so I have magnanimously used up all my patience here. There won’t be another chance for such a meeting in future. So… you are all on your own now.”
No longer in the mood for this nonsense, Elvis fixed his gaze upon a target: in the direction of Sandy’s house.
He had already wasted enough time here. All he wanted to do now was to hug Gu Mengmeng tight and kiss her.
He traveled like the wind and by the time he arrived at the borders of Sandy’s territory, he saw Gu Mengmeng and Sandy sitting at the entrance chatting away.
Sauder was not like Saint Nazaire. Sandy’s territory only extended less than 20 meters beyond the cave entrance—and this was already considered spacious as Sandy enjoyed a close relationship with Gu Mengmeng and had special privileges under Hede.
Elvis was just approaching when Gu Mengmeng turned and met his gaze. She then smiled happily at him.
That smile dazzled Elvis. His previously malevolent expression instantly dispelled as he returned her smile. Warm and tender, he looked completely different from that murderous Beast King earlier.
“Sandy, can I call Elvis over?” Gu Mengmeng tugged Sandy’s hand.
Sandy wrinkled her nose. “Why so courteous with me? When have I never let one of your family members come and go as they please to my territory?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled sweetly. “We might be close but we must still show each other basic courtesy.”
Sandy pinched Gu Mengmeng’s waist playfully. “So particular.”
Sandy’s pinch was light and tickled Gu Mengmeng, who tried to duck with a laugh. “So can I or not?”
“Yes, yes, yes. Hurry up and invite your great wolf king in.” Sandy smiled. “Let me tell you this once and for all. In future when you come visit me, just walk straight in and bring whomever you wish to bring. Don’t make me give permission over and over again. It’s so troublesome and a waste of my saliva.”
Gu Mengmeng glanced at Bode, who was standing at the side. “What kind of first partner are you? Didn’t you hear that my Sandy is thirsty? Why aren’t you bringing some water over here now?”
Bode was very annoyed but he dared not retort. He had no choice but to obediently go get some water.
Only then did Gu Mengmeng wave Elvis over. “You already heard Sandy say you can come in, why are you still standing there?”
Elvis’ expression as he gazed upon Gu Mengmeng was especially warm and tender. He stepped toward Gu Mengmeng and drew her straight into his arms. Nuzzling the crook of her neck, he greedily breathed in her sweet scent. “I did hear her, but was waiting for you to wave at me. I like the way you call me to your side. A very lovely sight.”
Gu Mengmeng leaned her head against Elvis’ chest and said in a soft voice, “I also like the way you walk towards me. Very handsome. It was just like this when we first met. Those first few steps you took towards me—it was like you were a comic book character come to life. Step by step, you shattered all my reservations and preconceived notions.”
