Gu Mengmeng pouted her mouth and said, “If I say it’s not painful, do you believe me?”
Elvis kissed her face adoringly and said, “I will feed you more later to make up for this.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and cuddled in Elvis’s arms. She looked at the females and their gazes met midair. Without any verbal communications and both of them were smiling, but only women knew what the sparkles in their eyes meant.
That night, the female was guarded by a few males sent by Lea, while he brought Gu Mengmeng and Lea into the woods.
Having many years of experience of going through life and death together, words were not needed for Elvis and Lea to communicate between them, which was extremely surly in circumstances like this.
“What’s wrong? It’s midnight and you are not letting me sleep...” Gu Mengmeng complained.
Lea and Elvis exchanged a look, before holding their breaths to list. After ensuring there was no one eavesdropping then, Lea whistled to the night sky and a huge owl spread its wings and flew towards them, landing in front of Gu Mengmeng and Lea.
Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea with curious looks and she said, “Wow, not bad. When did you train this owl? Its build... tsk tsk, so cool!”
Just when Gu Mengmeng was about to tease the owl, she saw it shaking its winds and turning into a human right in front of her.
Gu Mengmeng was stunned. Although she had seen this trick of turning into human many times, she was still shocked every single time.
Looking at the cold naked man in front of her, Gu Mengmeng awkwardly withdrew her devil claws in midair. She let out a laugh and retreated back into Elvis’s arms, remaining quiet thereafter.
The naked man took over his hide dress Lea handed to him, while saying as he wore it, “My name is Ian from the Eagle-owl tribe, I am not an owl.”
Gu Mengmeng made the look of a sudden realization and smiled. She said, “Oh, so you are Ian, I have heard about you and excuse me for just now.”
Ian could not quite catch Gu Mengmeng’s way of doing things, he just cleared his throat, turned and said to Lea, “Be rest assured, I have set aside people to watch her, she has no chance to eavesdrop on us.”
Lea then nodded and told Gu Mengmeng, “That female was probably sent by Sauder.”
Gu Mengmeng felt unexpected, but she thought a while and was convinced that Lea had been Sauder’s man, one with a high position, so he must have understood Sauder’s behavior more than anyone else. She did not rebut, paused for a moment, said, “So you kept her not because you met eyes with her, but for surveillance?”
Lea paused, looked at Gu Mengmeng and frowned. He hooked Gu Mengmeng’s chin with one hand to bring her little face neared to him and stared straight into her eyes with his slender and amorous ones. He said with a deep and slow voice, “You controlled your temper to keep her not because you understood my signaling, but because you wanted to give her to me? Am I such a troublesome and disgusting burden to you already?”
“No... no...” Gu Mengmeng moved back guiltily and hid into Elvis’s arms.
Lea stumbled a few steps back and let out a bitter laugh before saying, “One strike and I’m out, I... understand this. Even after you knowing that Nina’s incident was all fake, you could no longer believe my feelings for you, right? In your eyes, I’m just a player that could take in any females, right?”
