Chapter 791: My Man Got Bitten?!
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips and took a deep breath. She stared at Elvis in silence.
Elvis felt sheepish from her stare. Gu Mengmeng’s powers of observation were too sharp now. It was too difficult to try to hide anything from her.
“Xiao Meng…” Elvis began his plea.
But Gu Mengmeng didn’t give him the chance. She just lifted her chin and shouted, “Lea, Ian, Wabei. Let’s go.”
Pushing Elvis aside, Gu Mengmeng jumped out of his arms.
The other three males didn’t say a word but just stood quietly one step behind Gu Mengmeng.
“Xiao Meng.” Elvis started to speak but stopped. He wanted to call after her, but didn’t know what to say.
Gu Mengmeng frowned and stared at the wound on Elvis’ shoulder. Filled with displeasure, she tossed her head. “Biting my man like that. If I don’t pluck out all his teeth, my name is not called Gu Mengmeng.”
With that, she turned and left.
Lea glanced at Elvis, his eyes filled with conflict. Nevertheless, he remained silent and just carried Gu Mengmeng in the direction of where Elvis came back from.
Out of the forest undergrowth came a rustling sound. Gu Mengmeng knew that it was the little snakes brought over by Wabei from the Snake King valley.
She commanded. “Lead the way. Find me that person who bit Elvis.”
The little snakes stuck out their tongues and acknowledged Gu Mengmeng’s command in their snake language. They then shot off like arrows as they fanned out in all directions to investigate.
How could Elvis let Gu Mengmeng leave like this? Even if she possessed the abilities of a Beast King, and had the fifth-level Wabei escorting her, she was still his female. How could he let her charge into an unknown situation?
Quickly catching up, he wanted to take her back from Lea’s arms but Gu Mengmeng turned her head in objection.
“Xiao Meng.” Elvis sighed in a show of eventual surrender. “I will tell you the truth, okay? Don’t be angry, please?”
Only then did Gu Mengmeng finally turn to look at Elvis, with an expression which clearly said “lie to me and you will die”!
Elvis was not afraid of the heavens or the earth. He was not scared of pain or death. The only thing that could bring fear to him was this fragile little figure in Lea’s arms.
The stray beasts here are old acquaintances of mine,” Elvis said with a frown.
Gu Mengmeng was stunned. Old acquaintances?
Could it be…
Elvis nodded. “This is where I was born.”
Everyone halted at Gu Mengmeng’s signal and stared steadily at Elvis.
Gu Mengmeng sighed and opened her arms towards Elvis. “Hug me.”
Elvis chuckled and took Gu Mengmeng over from Lea’s arms. He kissed her on the face and took a deep, greedy breath of her scent. Only then did the unease plaguing his heart fade away.
Wabei and Ian tactfully drew back, giving the three of them some privacy.
Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng to a big tree and leaped up onto a branch. Gu Mengmeng remained sitting steadily in his arms. Meanwhile, Lea chose a slightly lower branch to perch on, so that he could face Elvis and Gu Mengmeng.
Elvis composed himself before speaking slowly. “The person who bit me is my biological beast Father.”
Gu Mengmeng was dumbstruck. Did she just say… that she wanted to pluck out all the teeth from her own father-in-law?”
