After defeating the two snow foxes, Lea did not choose to launch an attack on Sauder immediately; instead, he let Elvis rest while he sneaked into Sauder to look for Gillian’s whereabouts. He knew Cole’s abilities, even if Elvis had advanced to the fifth-level, it would be almost impossible for Elvis to win if they clash head-on with each other. The only hope was to do something about the mating contract.
Lea resisted the urge to see Gu Mengmeng and moved from one forbidden zone to another using the secret tunnel that only the witch doctor know. He did not believe that Cole would let his weakness wander out of his control and the best evidence would be that nobody has ever seen the female ever since Cole had mated. The only possible answer was that he had hidden his female.
When Lea finally found Gillian in the secret chamber that was only accessible during the Leader Ceremony, he broke into a grin.
He brought Gillian out secretly, before meeting up with Elvis without any delay, and they launched the attack on Sauder together.
On the other hand, Cole was still dreaming on using the Fox Seductive Fragrant to make Gu Mengmeng listen to him.
The amount of blood they shed in the battles and the narrow escapes were briefly explained with few words.
Males should be sacrificing everything for the females, he did not want Mengmeng have any mental load for this. But Gu Mengmeng was neither stupid nor blind, the old injuries on Elvis’s body that could not heal in time, the faint scars on Lea’s body that could not be covered up, even Auretin and Ian did not have a single place on their body uninjured, not to mention the rest that did not dare to show up in front of her until now.
Gu Mengmeng knew that they did not want her to see them in their miserable state, so she chose not to ask,
but she would remember this kindness by heart.
Lea scooped a bowl of meat for Gu Mengmeng and fed her spoon by spoon.
When Gu Mengmeng was just about to reject him, Lea put on a straight face and said with a little dismay, “I am your approved beast pet after all, can’t I even feed you? These days that you were gone, I had been worried whether Cole mistreated you, whether he let you eat well and sleep well every day… I am finally back by your side, can’t you just let me feed you once and ensure that you are full to reduce my worries?”
Gu Mengmeng could not do anything and had to listen to Lea. With the unconscious Chixuan in her arms, she ate the food sent to her mouth by Lea.
Auretin had the same expressionless face on, but now that he could use chopsticks smoothly, he did not need others to signal him and had half pot of stewed meat to himself before putting down his chopsticks. He looked at Gu Mengmeng and said, “This was the first time that I fight, not for survival, not because I was bored or thirsty for killing, but to protect someone, something. This feeling is so special, thank you for giving me this chance.”
Gu Mengmeng looked at Auretin whom was resembling a military officer doing a post-war, after action report and wanted to laugh. She looked at Auretin speechlessly, pursed her lips and said, “Do you know what are you saying? Look at the amount of injuries all over your body, it surely wasn’t an easy battle? To the extent that you almost lose your life in it? And you are still thanking me?”
Auretin looked down on the wounds on his body obediently, then he looked up at Gu Mengmeng with the same expressionless face suiting his character setting and he answered, “Every fight between males is a life-or-death situation, but I have never had such a strong urge for victory before.
