No matter how many times Gu Mengmeng experienced the amount of grace the males in the Beast World treat the females with, Gu Mengmeng still felt it was too exaggerated and she could not really get used to it.
Moving her shoulders, Gu Mengmeng looked up and asked, “Did he say where our babies are?”
Lea shook his head apologetically and said, “The more we care about the wolf babies, the more Cole was using them as a bargaining chip to threaten us. I think... I need a little more time to plan this out.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded, she knew that Lea and Elvis had been on the move day and night in order to save her. No matter how anxious she was, she could not bear to rush them at this time.
Lea knew that Gu Mengmeng was worried, he hugged her and brought her back to where Elvis was, placing her in the middle. Lea laid down on the other side of Gu Mengmeng, covering her with his furry big tail like a blanket. Lea and Elvis each held onto one of Gu Mengmeng’s hands and he said, “Tell us everything that happened when we were not around. The more information we could gather, the more advantageous my plan will be.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and said everything that happened, from coming here to look for health, to realizing Cole was suspicious, using every means to fawn on Cole and even how she sewed up Cole’s wounds with zig-zag lines and weird shapes for the wound to not recover easily. She then talked about how Dylan confessed to Gu Mengmeng by saying ‘Should I confess or should I apologize for kissing you without permission?’ and how she almost slapped him, but afterwards Dylan told her many secret information that only Lea knew and Gu Mengmeng finally believed that Dylan was indeed Lea’s man. She also described the details of how Dylan and Lea exchanged key information and collaborated from both within and outside.
Lea listened to her attentively, he kept quiet for a long time, before opening his mouth, “I think the little wolves are in Ellie’s hands.”
Gu Mengmeng was confused and said, “Why do you think it is Ellie? Because of what Cole had said?”
Lea nodded and said, “Cole is a very cautious person, his lies are never fully false, there must be some real information hidden within the fake messages. In my analysis, the message from the Snake King is real, because that would be exposed easily, while all the Snake King wanted was to scare you and make you believe that the Snake King valley is dangerous. He wanted you to trust him and rely on him, After all, he would be the only person you could depend on facing such a strong opponent. The talk on finding the fifth-level snake beast should be fake, because he was the one that helped Ellie kidnap the little wolves, why would they need to find some snake beast?”
Gu Mengmeng followed Lea’s train of thought and pondered over it too, she said, “His abdomen wound was caused by tearing, together with a slight poisoning symptom when he just came back. He said he was bitten by Ellie’s gang, Dylan also said it was indeed caused by snake teeth ripping it apart, which means... Ellie bit him?”
Lea thought for a while and agreed with her, “There’s a high possibility.”
Gu Mengmeng laughed coldly and said, “Was he playing the martyr? Well, he was truly really willing to put in great efforts, to the extent that he almost lost his life, just to gain my trust?”
Lea pinched Gu Mengmeng’s chin and said, “Don’t underestimate your charm, if the roles of my and Cole’s were switched today, I might even do more extreme things than him.”
Gu Mengmeng looked up at Lea and thought of how he was being all ‘I won’t live if you don’t want me’ at the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment. She laughed speechlessly and said, “Are your entire snow fox tribe this extreme?”
