Gu Mengmeng was very touched, but her heart also ached a lot.
She remembered Elvis had told her he had to endure a lot of suffering before coming of age when he was about a year old.
But her sons…
The three little ones had turned into half-beasts because of Ellie’s forced activation. It was an overly hasty promotion that created a major deficit in their bodies.
Lea also said that most children would mature into adulthood when they were two to three years old. The three brothers were so negatively impacted then that they would probably only mature when they were four to five years old.
But now… how did her three sons all get promoted the moment she woke up?
Wabei, who had been out hunting, came in from the rain. He had about five to six hunted game wrapped in his tail, all dead beyond recognition.
In the past, Gu Mengmeng would have shrieked in fright.
But after inheriting Snakel’s memories…
Haha.
Wabei was rather surprised to see Gu Mengmeng awake. He threw the hunted game to the side and morphed into human form, before sidling up to her. “What did your father say?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “He still refused to say.”
Wabei sighed. He had already heard this sentence three times. So much so that he had actually gotten used to it.
He asked again. “What about him? Is he still well?”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “Mmm, things are going according to his wishes.”
Wabei raised one brow. “He finally got you?”
Elvis and Lea instantly tensed at his question. Gu Mengmeng could see their ears turn erect, clearly waiting for her answer.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and nodded. “Over there, he is in a confirmed relationship with my other self.”
Lea’s face darkened and he walked over to Gu Mengmeng’s side. He asked angrily, “He is your boyfriend?”
Gu Mengmeng wanted to say it wasn’t her. But thinking about it again, it was clearly herself. Hence, she nodded in admission.
Lea’s face went grave as rage filled his eyes. “When what about me…”
“You?” Gu Mengmeng didn’t understand.
Lea said, “Elvis is your hubby and I am your boyfriend. Now that Snakel has snatched the boyfriend status away from me. What would happen to me?”
Gu Mengmeng laughed out. “He is the boyfriend of my other self in the other dimension. Not this self standing right before you.”
Lea insisted. “That is still not acceptable. Go tell my father-in-law to break them up!”
A harsh chill drifted over as Wabei was already adopting an aggressive stance against Lea.
Gu Mengmeng glared at Wabei. “If you dare to touch my man, I will use your snake skin to make a handbag.”
Without waiting for Wabei to respond, Gu Mengmeng held Lea’s face and kissed him. “You are already my partner, why are you still haggling over the boyfriend status?”
Lea completely ignored Wabei. It was true that Lea would never be able to defeat Wabei, but his status with Gu Mengmeng was a much more pressing problem to him. Hence, he waved his bushy tail and thrust it into her arms. Hugging her from behind, he pressed his chest into her spine and nuzzled his chin on her shoulder. “Mengmeng, I want a status. A unique status.”
Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath. “What about… my lord?”
Lea was momentarily stunned. He then asked, “What does it mean?”
Gu Mengmeng explained that this was an ancient way of addressing one’s partner.
Lea was finally satisfied after Gu Mengmeng promised she would address only him with this term. He loosened his grip on Gu Mengmeng and went to prepare the hunted game brought in by Wabei.
