Gu Mengmeng leaned into Elvis arms, watched her four sons washing themselves in the water quietly, while her thoughts flew back to the past. It was in this exact same river, a fox fairy hugged her and confessed to her: “I swear to the Beast Deity under my name that I will dedicate my loyalty to you in this lifetime. From today onwards, only you are my God, my life, my everything.”
“Oh no!” A scream brought Gu Mengmeng back to conscious.
Gu Mengmeng looked to where the sound came from, it was Oakley.
Gu Mengmeng had not seen him for ages and had almost forgotten about him.
“What’s the matter, take your time to say.” Oakley had a similar personality as Lea and was usually not as anxious as this, but the more anxious one was, the slower he had to say it, or else the words would be jammed and nothing came out.
Oakley was stamping his foot in anxiety, he had to turn three rounds on the spot before saying with heavy breaths, “Lea went to the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment and asked the Beast Deity for forgiveness by burning himself with fire.”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned, before she could think about anything else, she dashed towards the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment.
Elvis transformed into the beast form, grabbed onto Gu Mengmeng’s dress with his mouth and flung her onto his back.
Gu Mengmeng did not struggle, she could not be compared to Elvis’s speed at all.
In just a few moments, Elvis had reached the Platform. As a fourth-level beast, his maximum speed could be comparable to the bullet train, the burst of speed showed how much he was worried for Lea.
When Gu Mengmeng arrived at the scene, she could see a fire pit burning in front of Lea, while Lea was still acting more branches inside to make it burn brighter. There were a few people lying flat below the Platform, just a look and Gu Mengmeng could see Barete, Collin and some others that looked familiar but she had forgotten their names at that moment.
The injuries on them were not deadly, but enough to make them unable to stand up and obstruct him again.
“Lea, what are you doing?” Gu Mengmeng walked up the Platform and shouted.
Lea froze, but did not turn back. He said quietly, “You don’t even want me any more, why are you here?”
Gu Mengmeng said, “You are ending your life just because of a woman? What happened to the ambition you had when you created Saint Nazaire? You don’t want to achieve it anymore? What about your determination to protect Saint Nazaire? Also no? How about the revenge on those that had hurt you before? Are you giving those up too?”
Lea paused his action of adding in branches for a moment, but still threw one into the fire pit. He said, “If destroying everything that you say could get me back in time to when I had a battle with Elvis… Then, I am willing to kill the whole Saint Nazaire with my own hands to go back. Even if Elvis was going to kill me, I would not have let go of your hand at that time and result in today’s irrevocable situation.”
Lea looked at Gu Mengmeng, but there was not a single bit of amorousness in his pair of slender eyes and only hollowness and desperation remained. He said, “Sadly, there’s no going back… is there? You will never forgive me, no matter what I do, how I plead and repent… You are giving no chances, I don’t even dream of mating, I only wanted to be beast pet that could hug you, but you just had to push me so far away… Mengmeng, if you really do not have a single place for me by your side… Then don’t save me. Living… in a world without you… is the biggest torture to me.”
Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists with pale lips.
Principles, and Lea, which… is more important? The argument of everything that’s happening right now was how Gu Mengmeng was unable to go against her own set of values, she was greedy but unwilling to admit it.
“If I say, I will never mate with you, will you still want to be my beast pet?”
