Dora pulled down her collar and Gu Mengmeng saw that despite the countless mating marks on her, the area over her left chest was empty.
It looked like she had really reserved it for a certain someone.
But...
Even if she had to imprison him to make him stay. Even in death, his body must belong only to her...
Why did such words sound so spine-chilling? Gu Mengmeng thought that in the Beast World, only the males held such a perverse view on love, while the much-cherished females would not behave like that.
It seemed like she was wrong.
âLeonard, I beg of you. Let me behave willfully just this once. In my entire life, just this one time...â Dora cried in Leonardâs arms, heart-achingly pitiful.
Leonard couldnât bear to reject her, hence he looked up at Gu Mengmeng. âPlease agree, Messenger. Give her that person.â
Gu Mengmeng would never use the life of another person to make a deal. But she was somewhat curious and so she asked, âThe male you want is...?â
âFei Rui.â Doraâs voice trembled as she spoke his name.
Fei Rui?
Gu Mengmeng laughed. âSorry, if itâs Fei Rui... I cannot give him to you.â
âWhy? Why not?!â Dora was very agitated. Her eyes widened significantly. Gu Mengmeng laughed. âBecause... in exchange for rescuing his sister, he gave himself to me. He is now in Saint Nazaire and waiting to become my partner as and when I feel like it. How can I give you my own male?â
Dora went limp in Leonardâs arms. She muttered, âHow can it be... how...â
Gu Mengmeng clapped. âHow now? I canât seem to fulfill your three conditions, so you wonât be giving me the Soul of the Forest? Then I shall leave now.â
Gu Mengmeng patted Elvisâ shoulder, and he turned to leave without any hesitation.
âWait a minute.â Leonard called after Gu Mengmeng. âSince Fei Rui is the Great Messengerâs male, we naturally dare not covet him. Could the Great Messenger please honor the first three conditions then.â
He needed to give the people of Zacharias a way out.
Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea, who sidled up to her. He said in a low voice, âLet me eat fish when we return, and I will cleanse her body of those marks.â
Gu Mengmeng knew Lea was referring to a certain mermaid, but now was not the time to explain. She just kissed Lea and said, âWeâll talk about this later.â
Lea didnât object and just walked to Doraâs side. He surveyed her and said, âFrom tomorrow onwards, collect the morning dew from the leaves enough to fill two stone bowls. Place the bowls on your tribeâs Platform of the Deityâs Punishment, and wait for us to return after retrieving the Soul of the Forest. I will then perform a Heaven Opening rite to cleanse her.â
Leonard nodded and held the crying Dora. âGood girl, donât be sad. Go back with them first and have a good rest. Take as long as you need to forget him, I will stay by your side and wait.â
Dora didnât speak. She didnât even react to Leonardâs words at all. She just let the tiger carry her off.
After traveling some distance away, Dora clutched the fur of the tiger tightly, as a venomous and malevolent light filled her eyes.
âCole, how dare you lie to me! You deceived me! If I cannot have Fei Rui, I wonât let you get your wish either!â
