Elvis laughed softly and said, âright, youâre right for being weak.â
Lea was also not angered, and leaned deeper into Gu Mengmengâs arms, with three of them forming a circle.
The next day morning, Gu Mengmeng woke up in Elvisâ arms. When she opened her eyes, she saw that Elvis was looking at her as though his eyes were glazed with honey. Lea was preparing food nearby and Auretin was circling the wok as usual. It seemed that Wabei was still scared of her as he was standing even further away from her.
There were many wolves around them but they did not come close and only patrolled around outside, as though they were guarding the place.
Gu Mengmeng pointed at those wolves and asked, âthey...â
Elvis tidied Gu Mengmengâs hair and replied, âdo you remember the colourful snakes around Snakel in the past?â
Gu Mengmeng nodded. Those snakes had also been following her for a period of time afterwards, but because she was not used to having them around her all the time, and she had always been travelling, the weather was a threatening problem to those small snakes, so she commanded them to return to the Snake King valley before they stopped following her.
Elvis continued, âafter becoming the Beast King, my body seem to be exuding an attractive aura that is important to the wolves. As they yearn for their king, it is part of their instinct to gather around me. Even though they are just beasts, they have their own way of thinking and communication method. Surprisingly... I can sense what they are thinking now.â
Gu Mengmeng also understood this feeling, so after she became the Snake King, she insisted on not eating snake meat.
Even though she never ate it in the past, but the feeling is even more different now.
Elvis laughed and said, âthis is great. Even though you donât like eating wolf meat and complained that it was tough, but in the situation that we cannot hunt, at least you wonât have to starve.â
Gu Mengmengâs mouth twitched. âYou still dare to eat wolves?â
Elvis lowered his head and laughed. He narrowed his eyes and said, âdonât forget, when I was in the stray beast camp, I eat even orcs. Even if I can sense their thoughts and understand their language, but they are still just beasts. To quote Snakel, âthey are my people, so I can kill them if I want, and eat them if I wantâ. It is their honour that they can fill up my wifeâs stomach. If you donât believe, you can ask if they are willing to become the food in my stomach.â
Elvis howled and the surrounding wolves all bent their front limbs as though to show their submission and obedience to him.
Gu Mengmeng held her forehead. Were their thoughts this different because of gender or clan? This was a strange rhetorical question that she would never have an answer to.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, âforget it. From today onwards, we shall not eat any wolf meat, otherwise I will feel disgusted.â
âIâll do just as you say,â Elvis was not concerned, after all there were so many beasts that they could eat so it did not make much difference.
After breakfast, everyone were preparing to set off. Lea handed over the cutleries to Auretin to clean up, whereas he swayed his tail and walked to Gu Mengmengâs side, asking, âshould we head directly to Motou mountains or return to the tribe first?â
Gu Mengmeng held her cheek in dilemma.
Go to Motou mountains first? But they did not have the means to ascend the mountain yet?
Return to the tribe...
It was unlikely that there would be vulture falling from a sky if they waited at their tribe.
âLetâs go to Sauder first,â Elvis suggested. âNow that I am the wolf king, the wolves in different tribes most likely would slowly gather around me. Even though Saint Nazaire and Zacharias are our tribes, their territory areas are quite limited. Iâm afraid that they are not large enough to house so many wolves. Only Sauder that has been merged from 16 tribes would have the sufficient resources.â
