âNo need, I donât really like it that much.â Gu Mengmeng rejected with a shake of her head.
Gregory, who had remained silent the whole time, spoke up then. âI know where I can find some. I will go get some for you.â
Before Gu Mengmeng could say âno needâ, Gregory had already spread his wings and flown off.
Gu Mengmeng thought about it and decided this was for the best. If a fight really broke out and the three Beast Kings exerted their powers at the same time, the third-level Gregory might just explode on the spot from their beast pressure? Anyway, he was used to traveling in such harsh weather, so the outdoors might now be safer for him than inside the castle. As a result, she gave up all thoughts of chasing after him and just murmured. âThank you, then...â
Lea chuckled. âHeâs flown away already and canât hear your thanks. But it doesnât matter. When he returns with the fruit, Elvis and I will give him something in return for it. We wonât let him go through all that effort for nothing.â
Gu Mengmeng nodded and agreed. Otherwise, she would feel uncomfortable eating those Xue Ling fruits.
âSo Ah Gu likes to eat Xue Ling fruits...â Cole gave a knowing smile. âAlright. I will send my men across the Beast World to gather all the Xue Ling fruit available for you, alright?â
Gu Mengmeng looked up at Cole before emitting a high-pitched cry, giving both Elvis and Lea a fright. Even Cole was stunned.
Gu Mengmeng threw herself into Leaâs embrace and cried. âMy eyes... my eyes are going blind... how can there be such a disgusting thing is this world... sob sob sob, it stings my eyes!â
Elvis and Lea were momentarily taken aback before breaking out into smiles. This girl... didnât she promise just to sit by and watch the show?
Lea patted Gu Mengmeng gently on the back and coaxed her with doting affection. âAlright, alright. Donât look at him if he stings your eyes. What if you turn around and spoil your eyes?â
Gu Mengmeng nodded profoundly. âMmm, my lord is still better to look at. Quick, give me a smile. I need to cleanse my eyes.â
âAlright...â Lea held Gu Mengmengâs face and gave her a radiant and doting smile. His slanted eyes were filled with warmth, as if he was looking at the worldâs rarest and precious treasure.
Gu Mengmeng nodded with satisfaction before turning to look at Elvis. âHubby, give me a smile...â
Usually, Elvis just had to look at Gu Mengmengâs face and his lips would automatically curl up. But now that she was asking him to do so, he felt rather awkward and tense, hesitating for a long while before finally giving an extremely stiff smile.
Gu Mengmeng clasped her hands in front of her chest and swooned. âSo handsome...â
Elvis laughed out loud at Gu Mengmengâs teasing. He smiled with helpless affection as he caressed her head. Thereafter, he and Lea stood in front of Gu Mengmeng and used their broad backs to shield her from Cole. âAre you going to get lost or do we have to make you?â
Cole asked with a smile, âYou and I are both Beast Kings. Who do you think will die first if we fight?â
Cole looked pointedly at Lea, his implication clear.
Elvis warmed up his muscles with a couple of neck rotations. âI am not Xiao Meng. I wonât feel threatened.â
Cole nodded. âThatâs right. How could a little wolf pup raised by my hand possess a gentle heart like Ah Gu? But... doesnât Ah Gu have something she wishes to ask me? Is it really not a problem if you just chase me off like this? After all, I used the Soul of the Forest to activate my Beast King bloodline.â
Gu Mengmeng felt a chill run through her body, but she resisted the impulse to just rush forward to strangle and interrogate Cole. She had promised to not do anything rash and let Elvis and Lea handle this.
