Chapter 1555: Beat Me If You Want To Be Promoted

Lea had just held onto the beast skin bag from Cole when Cole collapsed straight to the ground with a loud thud. Obviously, he had been freezing.

Gu Mengmeng felt her heart jolt cause of his collapse.

It was unclear whether it was because she had known about his past, but the enemity she had towards him had diminished, especially because he had left this time so that he would not annoy her with his presence and that she would feel better. In addition, he had braced the wind and snow to pluck fruits for her, no matter how heartless she was, Gu Mengmeng still felt slightly remorseful.

Gu Mengmeng wanted to go up to help him up but was stopped by Elvis and Lea.

“There’s too much cold air around him, it would not be good if he pa.s.sed it on to you.” Lea handed over the Xue Ling fruits to Elvis, then stepped forward to carry Coleto somewhere further from the fire.

A frozen person should not be placed by the fire immediately as it would cause his injury to worsen.

Elvis took a piece of beast skin and laid it by the fire so that Gu Mengmeng could sit comfortably there.

Lea took care of Cole, while Elvis washed the Xue Ling fruits for Gu Mengmeng to eat.

Gu Mengmeng held onto a small bowl and stared blankly at the bowl filled with Xue Ling fruits, without eating any of them.

Elvis used his chest to support her back and his hand crossed her shoulders to hold her little hands gently, as he asked, “Why are you not eating? Don’t you love these fruits the most? I remember that when you were pregnant with Hede and the others, you could eat three big bowls of these fruits in one seating.”

Gu Mengmeng shook her head and replied, “There’s many Xue Ling fruits on Motou Mountains. Gregory… that time he would pluck them for me to eat every day, but he said that I could only eat at most 10 each time, otherwise it would be too cooling for me and my stomach would be ill.”

Elvis was stunned for a moment, then took away the bowl in her hands. With a forced smile, he said calmly, “It’s not easy to maintain your principles in front of your own female partner, Gregory… is a good example. When he returns, you should keep him, Lea and I have no objections.”

Lea turned his head and looked at Elvis, saying, “Who says I have no objections? I have one! If he wants to be promoted… he has to beat me first.”

Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea, who extended his neck like he was protecting his food, and laughed out.

How could Gregory, a third-level beast, beat Lea, a fifth-level beast?

Elvis looked at Lea emotionlessly and said, “Xiao Meng feels bad towards him because of Love of the Sky, and he has done so much for Xiao Meng, we have no right to reject him.”

Lea grunted unhappily and said, “It’s all because of him that Mengmeng could obtain Love of the Sky, but who asked him to do that? Since he was willing to do it, then we do not owe him anything. Moreover, there’s many other ways to thank him, except for using Mengmeng as a reward. If we do not abide by this exception, in the future if all of them were to sacrifice their lives for Mengmeng, wouldn’t we have to keep them all?”

When Lea said this, he glanced at Cole and it was obvious what he meant.

Judging by how cunning Cole was, if Gu Mengmeng had ignored this exception for Gregory, Cole could do something even more extreme to threaten her to keep him.

Elvis frowned and stayed silent for a moment, then said, “They are different. Initially, Gregory was… schemed by you.”

Lea swayed his tail and smiled casually, “Since he was schemed by me, there’s even less reason for us to thank him. I was capable enough to plot against him, if he has anything against us, he could come at me and take revenge, I will be waiting.”
