The two of them fought viciously. Every move was a lethal one, without any sloppiness at all,
Anxiety filled Gu Mengmeng as she clenched her fists to control her emotions.
A cooling sense circled her ankles. Looking down, she saw a familiar snake tail wrapping around herself.
“Wabei?” Gu Mengmeng was nonplussed.
Wabei gave a casual yawn. “I need to protect you so that your little wolf doesn’t need to worry about you at the back of his mind. Didn’t you notice? Every time that fellow launches a fake attack at you, your little wolf falls for it and becomes distracted. They are clearly an even match, but Elvis is losing.”
Despite knowing that no one in the Beast World could hurt her, she remained his weak spot…
This statement was not just empty talk.
As expected, after Wabei had Gu Mengmeng shielded well, Elvis finally let go of his passivity. Although he had already endured much injuries, his eyes became more focused and sharp.
Including that time in the ocean, Gu Mengmeng had engaged in battle with stray beasts twice.
She knew that stray beasts fought in a barbaric and savage manner, but didn’t know it could be that brutal.
If we compared the battle between a regular tribe and stray beasts to an NBA basketball match—exciting and nerve-wrecking, where no mistakes were allowed as every point scored could determine the outcome of the match.
Then the battle between Elvis and his father was like a basketball match in hell, where the outcome of the match decided between life and death.
So, unless Elvis killed his father or was killed by him, this battle could never end?
Why did he need to force his son to such a state just for the Kiss of the Ocean?!
Gu Mengmeng really didn’t understand how family ties worked within the Beast World. She thought that the relationship between Elvis and Kanwu was weird enough, who knew it was already the sanitized version.
“Mengmeng, do you want to eat the Kiss of the Ocean?” Lea suddenly asked.
Gu Mengmeng was momentarily taken aback. She then smiled. “Yes, I am going to eat it, so that the old fellow wouldn’t think of stealing or snatching it again.”
As expected, the moment she said this, Elvis’ father panicked. He disregarded his battle with Elvis and the fact that Wabei was protecting Gu Mengmeng—and just charged towards her, prepared to snatch the Kiss of the Ocean from her hands.
The moment he exposed an opening, Elvis bit down on his thigh without any hesitation. He dragged him back and flung him onto the ground. Elvis then stepped down on his father’s lower back and stared down at him like a messenger from hell passing down a death sentence. His face was cold and calm, as if he was already immune to the face of death.
A flash of regret flashed across his father’s face. He snorted. “Winner is king, loser the outlaw. Kill if you must.”
Elvis didn’t have any intention of sparing him and aimed his sharp claws right at his heart.
“Wait.” Just that one word from Gu Mengmeng dispelled Elvis’ murderous aura. His claws morphed back into human hands as he turned to look at Gu Mengmeng, as if waiting for her to continue.
Gu Mengmeng knew Elvis didn’t like his father. Even though she didn’t know what had happened between them in the past, their brutal fight made clear his dislike.
But killing one’s own father was something Gu Mengmeng could not bear.
It was not that she was being sentimental… she just didn’t wish for Elvis to have any regrets in the future.
