Gu Mengmeng glanced at him from the corner of her eye. “What do you want?”

It would be best if they could talk conditions.

She did not mind if Elvis killed Cole, but she cared about the fact that Cole was the only one who knew how to revive Chixuan.

“Kiss of the Ocean, Love of the Sky, Soul of the Forest, Heart of the Desert and Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs.” Gu Mengmeng’s face darkened at Cole’s every word, until her face was completely black at the end of his sentence.

Cole chuckled and raised three fingers. “Be my female and stay by my side forever, at which I will give you everything in the world; find those items for me; or….let that little wolf pup sleep on forever. Which will you choose?”

Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists tightly and glared at Cole. Her chest heaved and uncontrollable waves of her Beast King aura radiated from her body.

Elvis hurriedly moved over to Gu Mengmeng and held her tight. He did not care about Cole anymore.

“Xiao Meng, don’t get so agitated. Leave this to Lea and I to handle.”

Elvis’ voice was like a warm trickling fountain by Gu Mengmeng’s ear, gradually calming down her emotions. She slowly relaxed her fists and stared frostily at Cole. “I will find these five items for you. But if you dare go back on your word… I will guarantee that you will end up in a state worse than death.”

With that, Gu Mengmeng turned and left.

Elvis threw Cole one final glance before carrying Lea to chase after Gu Mengmeng.

Cole laid limp on the ground and gave a coughing laugh. Blood snaked down the corners of his lips and he casually wiped it off. He stared after Gu Mengmeng’s departing back profile, his eyes full of a determined resolution to win. He whispered. “In the end, you will still come back to my side… why do you want to go through all these and suffer so?”

…

Elvis had already arranged for most of the team to head towards Saint Nazaire first. Lea was gravely injured and not well enough to travel for a long distance.

As a result, Gu Mengmeng and company didn’t hurry back, but sought temporary shelter in a cave to allow Lea to recover.

The bonfire heated the cave until it was dry and Gu Mengmeng sat by the fire, gazing at the sheepish-looking Lea, as well as Elvis, who was sitting in silence beside Lea with a lowered head.

With a snap, Gu Mengmeng broke a wooden branch and threw it into the fire. That crisp sound gave the two males a right fright.

“Are you going to explain yourselves, or are you waiting for me to ask first?”

Elvis suddenly raised his head and stepped forward. “He came up with the idea, I am just the muscle.”

Gu Mengmeng raised her brows with a cold smile. He had been so quick to s.h.i.+ft the blame.

Lea struggled to sit up and put on a frail and pitiful look. He coughed a couple of times and said in a weak voice, “Mengmeng… it’s all my fault… cough… if you want to blame someone, just blame me…”

Gu Mengmeng gave them a fake, sweet smile and said, “It looks like during those years I was away, you two had become quite close and cooperative?”

Plan A had been spoiled…

Awkwardly, Elvis returned to his seat on the bed, while Lea also laid back obediently. It looked as if someone had pressed the rewind b.u.t.ton, and they were back at their same positions three minutes ago.

Snap. Gu Mengmeng broke another branch in two and flung it into the fire. Her gentle voice held a hint of sinister threat. “Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist… oh~”

Elvis and Lea exchanged a glance. They knew that Mengmeng would never let them off if they didn’t reveal the truth.
