The wolf beasts had a very simple way of thinking. Why should the Snake King Snakel have his own territory while their much revered Wolf King didnât?
But they overlooked one very important detail, and that was Snakel had no partner.
And when Snakel first went to the Snake King valley, it was still not the Snake King valley then. It was just that Snakel had wandered aimlessly across the world for hundreds of years, and was really very tired by the time he arrived there. Plus the weather conditions there were just right. In Snakelâs view, anywhere in the Beast World was the sameâand so, too lazy to move on, he had just settled down there.
Thereafter, snake beasts were attracted by the Beast King and slowly gathered there to form the so-called Snake King valley.
Snakel had never said that no one else was allowed to step into the Snake King valley. It was just that his âreputationâ preceded him so much so such that apart from snake beasts, no one else dared to go near him. As the years went by, that place slowly became a restricted area in the Beast World. No one dared to step foot inside anymore.
But Elvisâ situation was different. He had Gu Mengmeng. Although everywhere in the Beast World was also the same to himâas long as Gu Mengmeng liked traveling through the sights, he would not restrict her to any one valley or mountain.
He became a Beast King just so he could let his Xiao Meng do whatever she wished to do, and not have to do anything she didnât.
If Gu Mengmeng was going to be restricted because of his status as a Beast King, wouldnât that be in contrary to everything he had worked so hard for?
Saint Nazaire was their âhomeâ. The cave which allowed Lea and him to enter hand-in-hand with Gu Mengmeng every single time they went back. And so this cave now held a special meaning to them. No matter how busy they were, Xiao Meng would return annually to Saint Nazaire, which she would always refer to as returning home.
Xiao Meng had also said that she wanted to find blocks of black bricks and large stones to build a shady inn selling roasted human meat buns. He had promised her and would fulfill this promise one day.
The stray beast camp had a vineyard and Xiao Meng loved those grapes. Every year during the rainy season, he would get some grapes to brew some wine for Xiao Meng... although Lea was very troublesome when drunkâseeing a usually cunning fox become as clumsy as a dog was also a rather amusing sight.
There were still many places where he needed to accompany Xiao Meng to. How could he go into seclusion just because he had become a Beast King, and create a prison for himself?
He lifted his eyes and stared at the chattering wolf beasts. Elvisâ eyes turned cold as he radiated an undeniably oppressive aura.
The entire crowd immediately went silent as they gazed timidly at Elvis.
Elvisâ hand gently rubbed his own ear as he said, âThat place was called the Snake King valley because Snakel lived there. It was not that Snakel had to live there because it was the Snake King valley. Understand?â
The wolf beasts felt that Elvisâ statement was rather confusing. They lowered their heads in silence as they repeated his words a few times before somewhat understanding his meaning. They then nodded.
Elvis continued. âOne more thing. I think you all are still not clear about this.â
His lips curled up slightly, with a of trace chilling bloodthirstiness. Elvisâ eyes didnât hold a shred of warmth. âIt is you folks who need me, and so followed me. In my eyes, you are just ants. Not worth a mention. So donât interfere with my life... ha, if any of you poses the slightest bit of nuisance to my female, and make her feel uncomfortableâI have no qualms making fish food out of all of you.â
Elvis stood up. âAny one of you who cannot obey me unquestioningly or doesnât wish to die by my handâyou can get lost now.â
