Cole laughed but didn’t respond and didn’t appear angry.
Filthy?
It wouldn’t matter if Ah Gu became as filthy as he was.
So as long she liked it, no matter how many males it took, he would send them to her bed. Allowing her to pick whoever she wanted and however she wished to play.
As long as he was the last person to stand beside her. All was good.
Cole didn’t say anything more and Lea couldn’t be bothered to waste any more words on him.
The group kept silent until the white mist was completely absorbed into the Soul of the Forest. They saw then that under the white mist was a natural archway created by interweaving tree branches. It was like those ceremonial arches used in the royal weddings between princes and princesses. Dappled sunlight shone through, infusing the archway with a warm and romantic feel.
If not for Wabei and Cole’s presence, this scene would be utterly romantic.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t wish to talk to Cole and he also didn’t speak up.
They finally reached the end of the walkway. Gu Mengmeng had been leaning on Elvis’ shoulder, facing the road behind them.
Even without turning around, Gu Mengmeng could feel a chilly, murderous vibe emanating from behind her.
The intention to kill was not aimed at her. Anyway, even if she was just a normal female without the powers of a Beast King, with Elvis, Lea and Wabei around—no one would be able to cause her any harm.
She turned around to see what was going on.
Only to be faced with Leonard’s bloodshot eyes. Gu Mengmeng frowned.
“You are seeking revenge.” Gu Mengmeng murmured softly. It was not a question, but a statement of fact.
On the way back, Cole had admitted to killing Dora. So it was obvious just who Leonard was waiting for.
Cole didn’t seem at all surprised by Leonard’s appearance. His lips curled up slightly in a cool smile. “You have disappointed me again… Little Xuan.”
Gu Mengmeng shuddered at his last two words. She had been nonchalant about the ongoings, but was now frantically searching the surroundings.
Little Xuan…
Chixuan?!
The smell of blood filled her nose and after analyzing the scents for a long while, Gu Mengmeng could detect that one of them belonged to Chixuan.
Cole wasn’t lying to her. Chixuan was here and he was injured.
She shot a harsh look at Cole, but he just shrugged innocently. “It was Little Xuan himself who begged to be allowed to stop Leonard so that I could go in to fetch you. I was just following Little Xuan’s wishes.”
Leonard was a fourth-level beast. Even after suffering counter-damage from the mating contract, the difference between him and the newly evolved first-level Chixuan was too great. How could Chixuan hope to defeat Leonard?
Cole had just pushed Chixuan onto the road to death.
With fists tightly clenched, Gu Mengmeng spat out the words through gritted teeth. “Cole!”
Cole chuckled. His expression showed that he was enjoying something that was obviously bitter as if it was as sweet as malt sugar. “Ah Gu, you are looking at me with such focus again… it feels so good.”
“I am going to kill you!” Gu Mengmeng’s eyes were bloodshot with hatred.
But Cole just laughed even more happily. He gazed appreciatively at Gu Mengmeng. “Mmm, tear open my chest and use my blood to christen your bloody reign. I will be honored to become the first soul to fall under you. I am not afraid of the lonely road to death as Little Xuan will be by my side.”
A threat. It was a clear threat.
Cole was saying that if he died, Chixuan would die with him.
And Gu Mengmeng was not confident of preventing it.
