Startled, Cole immediately drew back his murderous aura.
He smiled elegantly, as if nothing had happened. He touched his own nose. “I apologize. Perhaps my six months with the stray beasts, where everything was about fighting and death—my first instinct now is to counterattack whenever I am attacked.”
Cole’s eyes dimmed when his gaze landed on Sandy.
This female…
Actually made Ah Gu care so much about her.
What should he do? He felt a bit jealous.
Hmm…
However, such an important person should be reserved until the final and most exciting moment before being presented.
Cole said with a smile. “Alright, I apologize. Even if you must punish me, let me undo the bewitchment on her first, okay?”
Gu Mengmeng took two steps back and pushed Bode aside. Bode was just a second-level beast and was already trembling in fear from the beast pressure released by Elvis and Cole. Even so, he remained steadfastly protecting Sandy. This improved Gu Mengmeng’s impression of him.
Bravery was never about having no fear. Instead, it was about how you chose to protect me even though you were clearly afraid.
Ha, Sandy’s taste in men was as good as hers.
This first partner might have been a bit weak, but his heart was true.
After pushing Bode aside, Gu Mengmeng pulled Sandy by her hand and held her, trying to calm her down.
Sandy’s bear paws slowly morphed back into her plump little hand, but her eyes were still glaring at Cole with unrelenting rage.
Gu Mengmeng patted her gently on her back. “Alright my precious Sandy, don’t be angry at him. It’s not worth it. It is better to let Elvis carry out such family matters. As for you, help me decide if it’s better to cut him into pieces or slice him into strips. And if we should roast or steam him.”
Sandy was startled. “Ah? Are you going to eat him?”
Gu Mengmeng laughed. “I am not that hardcore. I mean that you can just help me come up with ideas, and let the males carry out the physical exertions.”
Sandy nodded. “I also know that I can’t defeat him. But I am just so angry at how he dares to speak to you so righteously even after how he treated you. So enraging…”
Gu Mengmeng nodded accommodatingly. “Yes, yes.”
Sandy felt calmer after seeing that Gu Mengmeng didn’t blame her for being too nosy. She held onto Gu Mengmeng’s arm. “I feel that since he has committed an offense, he should go up to the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment and let the Beast Deity punish him.”
Gu Mengmeng didn’t hesitate. “Alright, we will listen to you. It will also give you a chance to help avenge me, to personally seek the Beast Deity’s judgment.”
Sandy nodded and walked over to Cole with her chest puffed up. Just as she was about to speak, her gaze abruptly went blank and lost its light. She collapsed to the ground as if her soul had been suddenly sucked out.
Gu Mengmeng’s quick reflexes enabled her to catch Sandy, while Bode also dashed up. He took Sandy over from Gu Mengmeng and carried her back to the stone house.
Gu Mengmeng looked over at Cole, who smiled. “The bewitching spell has been lifted. So… should I now head over to the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment to receive my punishment from the Beast Deity? If I kneel on the platform for three days without dying, then you will no longer be upset by that thing between Ellie and I? Mmm?”
Gu Mengmeng laughed. “Cole, you can race horses on your forehead.”
Cole looked puzzled as he looked at Gu Mengmeng with a tilted head.
Gu Mengmeng explained, “I am complimenting you on your big face.”
