Gregory frowned. He looked very reluctant.
He didn’t like interacting with land beasts. They were crude, barbaric and dirty. Their smell was truly unbearable.
Although this Messenger of the Beast Deity looked decent, he didn’t like her. He didn’t know why, but he just felt resistant and contradictory toward her.
Nevertheless, since that great lord had passed down the order, he could not refuse.
He glanced again at the red spider lily on Elvis’ chest…
“Since it was the great lord’s final command, I will follow through. I will give you a month’s time. If you still cannot convince me to stay after a month, then I will fly straight back to Motou. With that, Gregory turned and left the meeting hall. He stretched out his wings and took flight.
Gu Mengmeng held her forehead. She was totally speechless.
Since arriving at the Beast World, Gu Mengmeng had seen many different aspects of the world. She could even handle Cole’s perversity. But Gregory was so stubborn and dogmatic…
She turned to look at Lea. Gu Mengmeng asked, “Lea, can we give up on the Love of the Sky?”
“Of course we can.” Lea chuckled and kissed Gu Mengmeng’s forehead. “Having you is enough for me. I don’t need any little foxes.”
Damn.
Did he mean that he would not let her get pregnant as long as they didn’t get the Love of the Sky to stem the pain of childbirth?!
Gu Mengmeng rubbed her chin as she thought. Should she… try using the seven-word mantra?
She wrinkled her nose in preparation to start crying when Lea pulled her by the waist into his arms. “You know I am helpless against your tears, so I will definitely yield if you cry. It’s actually nothing major. At the very most, I will just be on tenterhooks the whole time you are pregnant. Then when you are giving birth, I will just die from heart pain.”
With that, Lea pressed his lips against Gu Mengmeng’s mouth. He didn’t start kissing her but just held that position as he whispered in a raspy voice, “So, if you wish to use your tears to torment me for the sake of those little foxes… go ahead. I will let you torment me. Even when I am torn apart and condemned to eternal doom, I will endure it willingly for you…”
Gu Mengmeng waved in resignation. “Who… who was going to cry? Humph!”
With that, Gu Mengmeng struggled out of Lea’s arms and hung onto Elvis’ chest. He carried her back to the stone castle.
Lea shook his head in exasperation. “Harrumphing at me again…”
The previous “humph” lasted several days. She refused to talk to him properly or even eat properly. Her manner was cold on all fronts…
Never mind, he would rather be the one under torment instead of her.
As long as she was fine, he could bear all suffering.
When Gu Mengmeng returned to the stone castle, Sandy and her family, as well as Hede and Jialue were all there.
“You didn’t come visit me today, so I have come to find you.” Sandy went up to tug at Gu Mengmeng’s hand. “I heard someone from a bird tribe came to Sauder today, asking specifically to meet with you. Who is it? Is he looking for trouble?”
“Bird beast.” Gu Mengmeng unhappily narrated the entire scenario with Gregory. She felt a renewed sense of righteous anger after finishing her story. “Tell me, how on earth can there be someone so pedantic? Guarding a mountain so stubbornly. It’s their own problem if they don’t want to come down, but they are not allowing others to go up either. I heard Ian say that there are many bird tribes guarding the mountain according to the different heights. The eagle-owl tribe guarded the lowest levels. Due to the lack of food and shelter against the weather conditions, they had to seek refuge at Saint Nazaire so as to not go extinct.”
