Chapter 1250 - A Small Matter Like Dying, Just Leave It To A Beast Pet Like Me.

Elvis looked at Lea so solemnly that Lea immediately withdrew his playful smile. Raising his brows, he fixed his slanted eyes on Elvis. “Are you planning something which I don’t know about?”

Elvis sighed. “I knew becoming a Beast King would attract a bunch of wolves, which will give rise to a lot of trouble. But I still wanted to become a Beast King. Do you really not know the reason behind my goal?”

Lea was stunned for a moment before turning away. “I don’t know. I don’t know anything. Anyway, I will not get promoted. I will remain a fourth-level beast which is just enough to suppress any other male with the intention to pursue Mengmeng”

Elvis grabbed Lea’s shoulder to stop him from leaving. “It is precisely because of your slackened attitude since I became the Beast King, that I wanted to talk to you today. Preparing for the worst has always been your way. We cannot withstand another unexpected attack.”

Lea bit his lips as he glanced sideways at Elvis. “Alright, I will try my best to be promoted to the fifth-level before we find the Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs to activate the bloodline of the Beast King. But you must promise me one thing. When Mengmeng really needs a second Tear of the Beast Deity, that tear must be mine.”

Elvis’ pursed his lips wordlessly. His jaw was clenched so tightly it had become one straight line.

Lea chuckled. “I won’t get promoted if you don’t promise me. You want to make yourself Mengmeng’s life insurance, to sacrifice your own Tear of the Beast Deity like Snake did when Mengmeng meets with danger. You want to be a hero and leave me behind to bear the consequences... ha, dream on. I can tell you now that I won’t agree to it.”

“Lea.” Elvis frowned. Lea seldom spoke so unreasonably. Lea was angry, and Elvis could clearly feel the fury and unease behind his smile.

Lea shrugged off Elvis’ hand. “You saw how upset Mengmeng was when Snake died. Let me tell you that I don’t have the courage to face such a despondent Mengmeng again. I don’t ever want to witness Mengmeng in such pain again in my lifetime, So if you want to have insurance against Mengmeng’s life, let that insurance be me.”

Lea jabbed at Elvis’ chest with one long, slender finger as he said pointedly, “You are her first partner and should bear responsibility for the more difficult matters. A small matter like dying, just leave it to a beast pet like me.”

“But Xiao Meng likes you best. You are the one who knows best how to make her happy. If there comes a time when one of us must die to ensure her safety, the one she likes best must be the one to survive. Only then will she be able to endure the loss, don’t you agree?” Elvis gave a bitter smile. “Moreover, aren’t you always saying how much you regret giving Xiao Meng to me, causing you to lose your ‘one and only’ status? If I die in the future, you can have Xiao Meng all to yourself again. She now possesses the powers of a Beast King, and no longer needs more partners to protect her. You can spend the rest of eternity with her, just the two of you.”

Lea smirked and glanced askance at Elvis. “That little speech you made just now, repeat it in front of Mengmeng if you have the guts... if she admits that she still likes me the best and that I am more important than you. If she promises that when you die, she will happily spend the rest of her life with me, instead of having a complete breakdown, unable to ever get back up again—only then will I support you in this.”
