Gu Mengmeng bit her fingernails and tapped her feet as her mind raced to think of a solution.
She must get the Love of the Sky or Lea would not allow her to bear little foxes.
But she also could not hand Elvis over. Damn it, over her dead body! She could never sell out her hubby!
So she had to do something about Gregory.
Weakness. What was his weakness?
It was easy with modern men: money, power and women. These were the three things men could never escape from.
Not to blow her own trumpet, but Gu Mengmeng could be considered the most eligible female in the entire Beast World. However, he said he didn’t fancy her.
What about power? The Motou mountains existed beyond the usual laws of the Beast World, and Gregory was the leader there. He already possessed a tremendous amount of power. In view of his disdain toward land beasts, he probably would not think much of being a leader here. Even if Gu Mengmeng handed over the mantle of the Messenger of the Beast Deity to him, it was likely that Gregory would just turn up his nose at it.
Then what about… money?
Gu Mengmeng scratched her head.
He was just a bird. What did he need money for?
Heavens, could you just give me Thor’s hammer? Perhaps that bird beast likes such playthings!
Gu Mengmeng felt like she was going insane.
Gu Mengmeng looked up at Lea woefully. “I guess I am not good at figuring others out after all… what should I do? I want the Love of the Sky but don’t wish to hand Elvis over… Lea, can you think of a solution, please?”
Lea smiled with satisfaction but still shook his head. He got down on one knee and gently hooked Gu Mengmeng’s chin. “No, my dear Mengmeng. You should say ‘Lea, go think of a solution’. Don’t you know that I will follow your every command.”
It was like how he would rather get injured or even die than get promoted beyond the third-level.
At the crucial point of the battle, it was because Gu Mengmeng had ordered him not to get injured—that he finally acceded with a smile and broke through the third-level.
Even if her command contradicted his own plans, he would still obey.
But since that time, Gu Mengmeng no longer gave him any orders.
Actually, it was rather disappointing.
He had been waiting for her to trust him and rely on him, and not just depend on herself to solve all problems that came her way. Lea wanted her to just laze in Elvis’ arms, while passing on all troublesome matters to him and ordering him to solve them.
Only then would he feel he was being needed. Only then would his life have some meaning.
Faced with Lea’s urgent gaze, Gu Mengmeng said softly, “Mmm, I want the Love of the Sky, but don’t wish to give up Elvis to him… Lea, go think of a solution.”
Lea smiled blissfully. His grin was even more dazzling than the warm sun in March. He kissed the back of Gu Mengmeng’s little hand, “As you wish, my Queen.”
That night, Ian and Auretin arrived at Sauder. For the first time, Lea didn’t return to the stone castle for the night. He spent the whole night in the meeting hall with Ian, Jialue, Hede and Auretin. They shared all pertinent information and threw out possible ideas, before firming up their plans step-by-step. It was like catching a bird with a net. Slowly and steadily spreading out the net without the bird realizing it, and then capturing Gregory inside within this one month’s time.
Manipulating someone?
Ha, Cole was not the only one good at it. If Lea really put his mind to it, even Cole was not his match in this. However, since turning over a new leaf for over two years, Lea nearly forgot this feeling of scheming against someone else.
