âI have not forgotten that salivating, roguish look of yours when you first saw me in human form.â Elvis pinched Gu Mengmengâs little face. âWhat did you say then? Even if there was a risk of drowning, you just had to touch me and kiss me once? Mmm?â
Gu Mengmeng gave a dry laugh and trilled. âLetâs not dredge up the past. Let bygones be bygones...â
Elvis refused to budge. He smiled coldly and continued. âYou said before that you are the Appearance Associationâs Supreme Senior Member and you firmly uphold the belief that the value of a person lies in his looks. You said before that as long as a person is handsome, anything goes... mmm?â
Gu Mengmeng was speechless. Why did she expose this unsavory side of herself? Tsk tsk tsk, she now really regretted her moment of candidness.
âDo you think that I will allow a tribeâwhose looks make even Lea feel threatenedâto join Saint Nazaire and risk creating my my own self-demise?â
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. âYou wonât.â
Elvis chuckled and licked Gu Mengmengâs little nose approvingly. âSo clever.â
Gu Mengmeng didnât know whether to laugh or cry at his praise. âHubby, I need to clarify something. I behaved in that manner towards you then because I was single. Teasing a handsome guy when I am single is not being roguish. Itâs called creating opportunity for love.â
âMmm, Lea and I have captured the opportunities you created, and we donât wish for others to get hold of the same,â Elvis said mildly.
Feeling frustrated, Gu Mengmeng stated. âI already have partners and will not give others the same opportunity.â
Elvis stared at Gu Mengmeng straight in the eye for a long while before breaking out in a faint smile. âI know you are speaking the truth but I donât need to use the Vulture tribe members to prove the point. So I will help you ward off all temptations. You can just continue liking Lea and I.â
Gu Mengmeng held her forehead. She felt that her image was beyond rescue.
Lea and Elvis both firmly believed that she was a demoness easily seduced by lust...
Sigh, forget it. It wasnât totally untrue anyway!
After all, even if she could turn back time, she would have still behaved in that roguish manner towards Elvis. Otherwise, such a good hubby would have become someone elseâs? How could she let that happen?
Gu Mengmeng realized that Elvis was usually a man of few words, but met with this type of situation, his formidable debating skills would suddenly emerge and force her into a dead-end.
But it didnât matter. She didnât harbor any such intentions anyway, and he could say whatever he wanted. If they continued arguing in this manner, things would just become increasingly dubious. In the end, Elvis would just reaffirm his own belief that she wished to find a male vulture to be her partner.
But heavens have mercyâshe had not even glimpsed one feather of a Vulture tribe memberâand gossip was already quick to fly.
She was even more maligned than the infamous Dou E.
Lea tapped Gu Mengmengâs brow. His smile clearly indicated that he agreed with Elvis. Gu Mengmengâs suggestion was thrown right back at her.
Gu Mengmeng just wrinkled her nose and made a face at Lea. She didnât offer any argument.
Instead, Lea spoke up. âNow the problem is how are we to ascend the highest peak of the Motou mountain range. According to Ian, even birds might have a hard time going up, not to mention land beasts...â
Actually, there was a very simple solution. And that was to let Gu Mengmeng go to sleep and seek the advice of the Beast Deity.
But no one would make this suggestion for now.
Because Elvis and Lea were utterly terrified that Gu Mengmeng would be directly transported back to her world while in her dream state.
And Gu Mengmeng understood their fear.
