Elvis and Lea both laughed.
Gu Mengmeng’s words held two meanings.
Firstly, it was a promise.
In the Beast World, the difference between levels was absolute. Elvis was a fifth-level beast while Lea was fourth-level. A male who had not mated yet would at most be a third-level. How could he hope to challenge and defeat Elvis and Lea? He might not even be able to escape with his life. As a result, this was as good as saying there would not be any new members added to their household.
Secondly, it was a motivation.
She was telling them in a roundabout way that she didn’t wish to see them hurt. They needed to become stronger and to protect themselves well at all times. Only then did they have the right to stand by her side as her males.
“I always listen to whatever Xiao Meng says.” Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s temple.
Lea bit Gu Mengmeng’s left ear and nuzzled her. “As you wish.”
After a brief bout of intimacy, Elvis and Lea continued to accompany Gu Mengmeng towards Natalie’s cave. As they approached, the three of them halted in their footsteps.
Yes, the Beast World didn’t have the concept of modesty, but Gu Mengmeng did!
Sending over a meal only to see her parents-in-law getting it on. It was so awkward standing at the entrance. Should she just turn and leave? Gu Mengmeng was desperate for a solution now…
Gu Mengmeng jumped out of Elvis’ arms and retreated with a blushing face. She had Lea portion out the food before getting Elvis to deliver it to the cave’s entrance.
Elvis complied with a black face, before returning to carry Gu Mengmeng back to their temporary lodgings.
Gu Mengmeng had a good afternoon nap and was feeling very refreshed. Unable to sleep anymore after dinner, she dragged Elvis and Lea into a discussion over how to save Sauder.
Gu Mengmeng had wanted to rush over the moment she heard the news, but after calming down, she felt that it would be inappropriate to do so.
Elvis and Lea agreed.
Cole had led his gang over at the start of the dry season, and they had probably already gotten what they wanted.
It was not the most opportune time for them to go charging in now.
Gu Mengmeng would be the main combat force, but Chixuan was still in Cole’s hands. She would be limited in the unleashing of her powers, and might even end up being blackmailed, causing their comrades to be completely helpless.
In addition, the stray beasts were all under Cole’s command. Without his permission, Peter would never have leaked this news to them.
Lea heated some water for Gu Mengmeng to take a bath.
Although the lake had nearly dried up, Gu Mengmeng had not bathed for about three days and was feeling very uncomfortable. It was not totally unbearable but how could Elvis and Lea allow her to suffer so?
Who cares if the others would have no water to drink?
They just wanted to let their female have a good bath. Anyone who was displeased with that could just try and snatch the bathwater from their hands.
Gu Mengmeng soaked in the bathtub. The steam enveloping her gave her a soft and hazy profile, accompanied by the gentle sounds of splashing water. She sprawled against the side of the tub as Lea scrubbed her back. The warm and soothing bathwater infused a languidness to her voice. “I have been troubled by something. How did Peter know I have the Kiss of the Ocean? And how did he know of our route back home and where to intercept us?”
