“Don’t acknowledge people any old how. I don’t have such an evil creature as you. Speak, why are you skulking around outside Saint Nazaire?” Gu Mengmeng’s face was cold and her gaze calm. She didn’t purposely effect a lofty aura, but Snake’s arrogance accumulated over a thousand years had already seeped into her blood. The imperious aura of a true-born ruler was something that came from within. As subtle as it was, it could not be ignored that easily.
Cole’s eyes were ignited by that petite face. The more he gazed upon it, the more he desired to own it.
She smelled so good, he could almost imagine her satisfying his every physical desire, how wonderful that would be.
Suddenly, a harsh murderous aura blew by.
Although it was just a second, it successfully burst Cole’s filthy bubble.
Cole looked towards the source of that murderous aura and met Elvis’ deep, blue eyes. He sneered with a measure of disdain.
Cole remained kneeling on the ground and looked up at Gu Mengmeng with a smile. “I am worried that young master Chixuan’s body will be too weak to hold on until you manage to gather the five treasures in exchange for the antidote. I am afraid that you will come looking for me then but can’t locate me. So I have come to you instead.”
The spoon in Gu Mengmeng’s hand paused. Lea stretched out his neck towards the spoon and gobbled up the meat. Like a drunk concubine sprawled across Gu Mengmeng’s knee, Lea glanced askance at Cole. “Yeah, our little wolf pup has become thinner as of late. What solution do you have? And on what conditions? Spit it all out now and stop wasting the air in our home.”
Cole ignored Cole. It appeared that he would only acknowledge Gu Mengmeng’s word.
As much as she hated speaking with him, Gu Mengmeng had to do so for her son. “Speak, what solution? What conditions?”
Cole stood up straight as if he was a noble European prince. There was not the slightest trace of the aura of a stray beast on him.
He resumed his former elegance and smiled graciously. However, Gu Mengmeng would never again be charmed by that smile and believe that he was a good guy.
“I can let young master Chixuan wake up but he must remain by my side. I will return him to you after you have given me the five treasures.” Cole proposed.
“You want me to hand my son over to a despicable stray beast?” Gu Mengmeng frowned unhappily.
Cole didn’t appear offended. “Let a stray beast take care of him, or let him die of starvation… you can take your time to consider it. I am in no hurry.”
Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists tightly together, as a million thoughts raced through her mind.
She couldn’t understand what Cole was playing at? How could any good come out of handing Chixuan over to him? He would turn her precious son into a pervert?!
But they didn’t know where those five treasures were. It was clear that Chixuan would not last until they manage to collect all five items in exchange for the antidote.
Cole waited patiently as Gu Mengmeng struggled with her dilemma. He continued smiling calmly at her.
It’s also a sort of honor to have you trouble over me.
Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath and turned to look at Auretin. “Go fetch Chixuan from Sandy’s.”
Without a word, Auretin left to fetch Chixuan from Sandy’s.
Cole chuckled and continued. “So, my dear mistress, do you want me to remain in Saint Nazaire to take care of young master Chixuan, or do you want me to leave here with him?”
