By the time Lea returned, the entire area looked like a disaster site, while the two males were sprawled exhausted on the ground.
He walked suspiciously towards Gu Mengmeng, who was sitting calmly at the side and drinking warm water from a cup. Meanwhile, Ian looked like he had just seen a ghost. Lea had no idea what happened.
He skewered the prepared meat on a tree branch before placing it onto the fire rack to roast. Lea said, “We didn’t bring along the pot so I am afraid you will have to bear with eating roasted meat. I will continue to look for suitable materials to make a pot, so that I can cook a delicious meal for you tonight.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded in assent. She continued to hold a faint smile on her face.
Lea pointed at the two beasts who were still sprawled on the ground, too exhausted to morph back to human form. “Those two… what happened?”
Gu Mengmeng twisted her lips in a smile. “They just underwent an unfriendly physical exchange.”
Lea was shocked. “Wabei challenged Elvis?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded.
Lea’s face darkened as he asked coldly. “Who won?”
Gu Mengmeng glanced at them. “It should be a draw? They both endured serious injuries and look half-dead.”
Lea stretched out his neck to take a look. “Since there was no clear winner, he cannot join our family.”
“Who?” Gu Mengmeng was taken aback. She then laughed out loud. “You can’t possibly have thought that Wabei challenged Elvis so that he could become my partner?”
Lea didn’t find the situation funny at all. He raised his brows. “Wasn’t that so?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “They were both just restless and engaged in a meaningless fight.”
Lea looked suspiciously at Elvis, and then at Wabei. He finally calmed himself down. “That’s good. At least he knows his place.”
Gu Mengmeng leaned against Lea and chuckled. “Suppressing one’s emotions for too long will turn one to perversion. What about you? Do you want to find an opponent to relieve some stress? I think Ian will be a good fit. Your skills are on par with each other and it should be an even fight.”
Lea kissed Gu Mengmeng on the forehead and smiled gently. “Such barbaric actions are not suitable for me. If I need an outlet for my stress… apart from you, no one else can do it.”
Lea’s soft, airy voice tickled Gu Mengmeng’s heart like a feather. Every word titillated Gu Mengmeng’s heart to no end.
Giving Lea a light push, Gu Mengmeng walked to a spot between Elvis and Wabei. She asked with a grin. “Are you done fighting?”
Wabei was lying face-up. His combat skills may not be the best but having been beaten by Snake for 800 years, his defensive abilities were second to none in the Beast World.
After resting for a long time, Wabei could finally morph back into human form. His face was covered in wretched bruises, but he felt strangely at ease.
He looked appreciatively at Elvis, who had obviously become a worthy opponent in his eyes.
Two of Elvis’ ribs had been broken by Wabei and he could not turn back into human form for the time being. Nevertheless, that fight had unleashed the foul tension balled up inside him.
For the past six months, he had been training himself to have more patience and forbearance. How long had it been since he could behave with such recklessness?
