Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO Chapter 764

Chapter 764: Upholding The Twisted Logic Of I Am Torturing You Because I Love You

Returning to the beach, the moon was already high up in the sky.
Lea sat beside the bonfire stirring a pot of food. He kept glancing at the ocean until he finally saw a familiar figure running towards him. Only then did his worried heart settle down.
Elvis retrieved the fur skin which had been warming by the fire and wrapped Gu Mengmeng in it. He then glared at Fei Rui with a stony face until he fled back into the ocean. Seeing that Wabei had tactfully wandered into the forest to forage for food, Elvis made sure there was no one else on the beach. He then hurriedly helped Gu Mengmeng change into clean clothes, in case she caught a cold.
As she changed, Gu Mengmeng reached out for something to eat. She was really hungry. Although she had been carried by Fei Rui or Wabei most of the journey, she swam a distance that was equivalent to three ironman marathons. It was not your usual physical exertion.
Elvis was always happy to see her with a good appetite. He asked as he fed her, “How did things go today? Did the leader of the Giant Fish Tribe give you any trouble?”
Gu Mengmeng laughed. “The situation is unbelievably dramatic. It is akin to the deep sea version of “I love my president though he is a psycho”. Upholding the twisted logic of I am torturing you because I love you… ha, I suspect that the heads of you males are all filled with liquid detergent.”
Lea and Elvis looked nonplussed. They had no idea what was liquid detergent, but hearing her tone… it was probably not a compliment.
But there was one point which caught their attention. “I am torturing you because I love you”?
So…
Not only did Gu Mengmeng attract yet another romantic rival in the ocean today, she had suffered at his hands.
Without a need for them to say anything, Gu Mengmeng could tell the two of them had misunderstood just by their expressions. She raised her hand in time to intervene. “Stop. Don’t let your thoughts run wild. He didn’t fall for me. In this case, I am just a matchmaker.”
“Yeah?” Elvis responded with a solemn face.
Gu Mengmeng took another piece of meat in her mouth and smiled before swallowing it. Turning her head, she used her chin to indicate the sea. “There, the male lead is here. Ask him directly if you are so curious.”
Carter had come to ask Gu Mengmeng why she was helping him, and to clarify what should he do next. But seeing that there were others present, he felt too embarrassed to speak.
He wanted to turn back but as he watched Gu Mengmeng, Elvis and Lea’s cozy interaction, he felt a pang of envy. In a daze, he inadvertently stepped closer.
Now that Gu Mengmeng had spotted him, he had no choice but to morph into human form and head over.
Elvis handed Gu Mengmeng over to Lea and stood up. He walked up to stand before Carter and asked with a chilly expression. “What did you do to Xiao Meng?”
Carter had already noticed Elvis’ mark on Gu Mengmeng’s collarbone and was naturally aware of their relationship. Twisting his lips, he replied, “I was smacked by the great Messenger. Does that count?”
Without another word, Elvis punched Carter in the face, knocking him onto the ground in a daze.
Carter was a tyrant in the sea but his powers were limited on land. In addition, he was just a third-level beast. A punch by a fifth-level beast like Elvis was no joke for him.
Elvis said in a crisp voice, laced with anger. “Xiao Meng will never hit anyone without reason. If she hit you… you must have done something to deserve it.”
Carter stared at Elvis but didn’t offer any protest. On one hand, he instinctively feared a more dominant opponent. On the other hand, he had a favor to ask of Gu Mengmeng. Such a price was something he was willing to pay.
