Elvis let out a helpless laugh. Gu Mengmeng was always special, treating something so normal in the Beast World like a piece of treasure, while things that held huge significance in the Beast World were right at her fingertips and she did not care a single bit. For instance, although the yellow sauce Sandy had given her was rare, it was still something attainable for someone with capabilities. Another example would be this luminous pearl, although it emitted light, it was useless to orcs with night vision. Only females would like its appearance and play with it. But the satisfaction in Gu Mengmeng’s smile at the moment was as though she had been given some precious treasure.
Looking at Gu Mengmeng playing with the luminous pearl in high spirits, Elvis did not restrain her. He put her down on the floor and carefully protected her at the side, in case she bumped onto the walls or other things. As long as there was no danger, he let her ran around in the cave like a child, holding the luminous pearl and shining it here and there.
While Elvis followed behind Gu Mengmeng with a faint smile. He liked his cave to be filled with Gu Mengmeng’s smell and his territory full of her presence.
“Whoops!” Gu Mengmeng was too attentive and accidentally tripped over something. She was about to fall on her face…
Elvis noticed it and quickly grabbed Gu Mengmeng by her thin waist, just in time to avoid her from a close encounter with the floor. Gu Mengmeng, who had just survived the close shave, heaved a sigh of relief. She brushed off the nonexistent dust on the luminous pearl in her arms and said, “well, all’s good, it did not break.”
Elvis was a little angry. The most important thing in times of danger should be protecting herself, she would definitely have bruised her arms if not for him guarding her just now, and she was saying all these was to shield that damn pearl?!
Elvis lifted Gu Mengmeng by her armpits in front of him and kept her at eye level. He said in a low voice, “Promise me, protecting yourself should be the priority in any circumstances.”
“But this luminous pearl is the first present Leader had given me.” The sight of Gu Mengmeng’s innocent look shining under the faint light of the luminous pearl hit straight onto Elvis’s heart.
Elvis’s lips raised uncontrollably. It was a pity that the light from the luminous pearl was too dim, or else Gu Mengmeng would definitely be stunned by the smiling Elvis. “Time’s almost up, I will help you change into another set of clothes.” He couldn’t wait to become Gu Mengmeng’s official partner.
“Eh?” Gu Mengmeng almost bid her own tongue upon hearing that. The shame she felt from changing the pad had not disappeared and he was going to help her change? Would that not mean she was going to be totally exposed? No way no way! Gu Mengmeng’s head shook like a pellet drum and said, “It’s alright, it’s alright, Leader, I can change myself.”
“You can’t see.” Elvis was persistent.
“I can I can, I have the luminous pearl Leader had given me.” Gu Mengmeng let out a stiff laugh and raised the pearl on her hands, signaling to Elvis that she really could see.
However…
Elvis held the Gu Mengmeng-fist-sized luminous pearl with one hand, like a normal person holding a small mandarin orange, before slightly applying force…
Snap.
The luminous pearl pearl was crushed into powder like an exploded mandarin orange, to the extent that it became impossible to fix.
