Wabei gritted his teeth. âLittle wolf pup, you have turned bad from example!â
This couple was using the same method to threaten him!
Damn! They were both Beast Kings and more powerful than him. He was the one always being bullied!
He sighed...
Ha, the truth was meaningless in Snakeâs eyes. As long as Gu Mengmeng said it, even she claimed that fishes were flying and birds were swimmingâSnake would believe her without any hesitation.
Elvis smiled. âThank you for your compliment.â
While Gu Mengmeng was settling Wabeiâs matter, Lea had already stewed a pot of food. He called Gu Mengmeng and Elvis over to eat.
Apart from Gu Mengmeng and her males, the dining table comprised Wabei, Ian, Gregory and the constant presence of Auretin.
As Gregory was around, no one mentioned the information that Gu Mengmeng had obtained from the Beast Deity. After all, Gregory was not one of them. Although he liked Gu Mengmeng, he had yet to reach the trusted status of Wabei, Ian and Auretin.
Gu Mengmeng asked as she ate, âHow long was I asleep this time?â
Leaâs gaze drifted over to Gregory. He replied mildly, âFive days.â
Five days...
Gu Mengmeng nodded. âGregory, so you are leaving today?â
Gregoryâs heart tightened as he nodded reluctantly.
Actually, for just a second there, he nearly blurted out that his wounds had yet to heal and he wanted to stay on a couple more days to recuperate. But... male vultures just had an indestructible sense of pride embedded in their bones.
Although Gu Mengmeng had been a bit heavy-handed when she pushed him that day, he had already recovered after resting for the past three days.
He was unwilling to exhibit any signs of weakness in front of Gu Mengmeng. He was even more willing to lie to her.
âSo have you come up with a reason to convince me to bring you up the mountains?â Gregoryâs gaze was profound. His eyes looked calm, but a fierce anticipation and longing churned beneath the surface.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head as she looked at Elvisâ chest with a smile. âThere appears to be no way to realize the marriage agreement set down by that great lord for the vulture tribe. I met that great lord and he asked me to tell you to just forget about that contract. From today onwards, the leader of the vulture tribe is free to marry whoever he pleases. There is no need to spend the rest of your life in loneliness just to abide by that agreement.â
Traces of disappointment and desolation appeared on Gregoryâs face. That marriage agreement was a promise, as well as a lock and chain to the vulture tribe. But he didnât feel any sense of relief now that it had been dissolved.
Could he pursue Gu Mengmeng now that he wasnât bound by the marriage contract?
But... why didnât he feel any joy?
Ha, he understood now.
The huge gulf between them was never due to that marriage contract.
The facts were there right before his eyes. Now that he was to leave, she wasnât trying to keep him at all.
He had been so mentally well-prepared. No matter how ridiculous her excuse might beâas long as she showed the slightest inclination for him to stay or bring her along with himâhe would have agreed.
But she had just calmly shook her head and even âliberatedâ him, allowing him âmarry at his own freewillâ.
âThe Love of the Sky, donât you want it anymore?â Gregory asked in a light manner.
Gu Mengmeng smiled. âOf course I still do. Without that object, my males wonât let me bear children.â
Gregoryâs heart felt like it was being carved up by a dagger.
So she had been trying so hard to seek the Love of the Sky, just to bear offspring for her partners.
Ha, this was a treasure of the Beast World, and she wanted to use it for such a purpose...
