The sky had already turned dark after the four of them were done eating their dinner. Elvis carried Mengmeng towards the altar, Lea barely stood a foot diagonally behind Elvis and Auretin stood slightly behind Lea, the three of them forming an “<” formation. From the front, it was Elvis carrying Gu Mengmeng in the centre, with Lea on his left and Auretin on his right.
It was clearly their first time walking together, yet it was oddly synchronised without any disharmony.
It was when they arrived at the altar when even Gu Mengmeng, who was practically deaf in the beast world, could hear everyone’s whispers.
“Eh? Auretin really became the mighty messenger’s guardian beast!”
“No wonder he had rejected so many females in the past, he had high standards after all…”
“What do you know? He not only has to have high standards, he must have good skills. Look, doesn’t he look similar to Elvis back in the day?”
“Now that you mention it, he really does. Could it be that the mighty messenger likes these cold types? Eh, take a look and tell me if I look like Elvis without smiling?”
“You? Ha… Do you think the mighty messenger is blind?”
“True, I’ve been of age for so long, but I have only been upgraded to second-level beast. How could I possibly be well-liked by the mighty messenger?”
“That’s right. Look at those beside the mighty messenger? The first partner Elvis upgraded instantly the moment he mated, it wouldn’t make much difference he didn’t peak at fourth-level. It would take minutes before he upgrades to fifth-level. Beast pet Lea, known as the first intelligence, Saint Nazaire rose from nothing to everything under his planning, such that nobody dared to mess with them till date. And the Auretin that just joined, he peaked at third-level for a while now. As long as the mighty messenger is willing to mate with him, he would certainly be the second Elvis… Tsk tsk tsk, even if I could enter such a family just to prepare food and not having the opportunity to mate with mighty messenger in this lifetime, it would still be worth it.”
“Pfft, you might want to, but the mighty messenger would not. Furthermore, so what if you do? Out of Elvis, Lea and Auretin, which one can you win in a fight? You can’t even reach the gate to the battle, you only know how to ramble meaninglessly.”
…
Gu Mengmeng turned around to look back at Auretin awkwardly, then looked at Lea and finally at Elvis. She leaned against Elvis’ ear, whispering as soft as she could, “What do we do? Everyone seems to be mistaken…”
Elvis did not take it to heart, responding, “He doesn’t like females, anyway. If no females pester him to mate in the future, he would come thanking you for saving him the trouble.”
Gu Mengmeng’s face changed as she looked at Elvis with enlarged eyes, repeating, “Huh? He doesn’t like females?!”
Elvis nodded, “Almost every first beauty from each tribe of the entire beast world has confessed to him. If he truly liked females, how would he still be single? He could have been someone’s partner long ago.”
Gu Mengmeng’s fujoshi heart started burning, as she started looking at Auretin and Lea from behind Elvis’ neck… Tsk, so much feels. Ya ya ya, aren’t they so compatible? One “nasty” and the other “cold”, ooh, aren’t they the perfect cross between arrogance and overbearing?
Lea felt a weird chill go down his spine. He looked up and his eyes met with Gu Mengmeng’s insidious gaze. He squinted his eyes and felt a sense of familiarity.
Ah, still the original recipe, still the original taste.
Isn’t this the same damned expression as when Gu Mengmeng thought him and Elvis were a pair?
