Chapter 1369: Go On, Continue Weaving Your Lies
He was just a second-level beast but held two treasures that would drive the Beast World crazy with desire. It was like throwing a piece of fatty at into a den full of wolves.
Gu ngng frowned. She had truly been too careless. How could she, as a mother, not consider the trouble that would befall Chixuan from her decision?
Cole continued. “So I took the Soul of the Forest from Chixuan just to divert the attention from him. After all, it is much more justifiable to kill a stray beast king than the son of the ssenger of the Beast Deity and the Wolf King. You can activate your Beast King bloodline and not worry about answering to the ssenger and the Beast King. I am doing this for Chixuan, why are you angry with ?”
Lea leaned into Gu ngng. Although he was very weak now, he didn’t look wretched at all. Instead, he exuded an elegant charm akin to the poignant allure of a beautiful person weighed down by the worries of the world. The contrast between him and Cole made Gu ngng feel like the kneeling Cole looked even more contemptible.
Lea spoke in a gentle voice, “The Fox King’s silver tongue can really turn black into white... you took Chixuan’s Soul of the Forest to protect him? Ha, forget it. As ngng said, we are all sly foxes. You can’t fool with your fantastical act.”
Lea tried to stand again but failed. He was still too weak and had no choice but to sit there, gently squeezing Gu ngng’s hand as a reminder for her not to get influenced by Cole.
Gu ngng smiled as she returned his squeeze. Only then did Lea relax and continue. “You took the Soul of the Forest to activate your Beast King bloodline—aren’t you shouting out to the entire Beast World that as long as they get that pearl from Chixuan, they could activate their own Beast King bloodline just like you? Ha, are you protecting him or pushing him to the edge of a cliff?”
Cole rubbed his own nose as he smiled helplessly. “It seems like no matter how hard I try, you will never believe my explanations...”
Lifting his head, Cole stared right into Gu ngng’s eyes. “I don’t mind Ah Gu hating or being disgusted by . But I refuse to be made a scapegoat... I didn’t snatch over the Soul of the Forest. Little Xuan was the one who frad and forced it upon .”
Angered, Gu ngng gave an ironic smile as she scoffed. “Are you telling that it was Chixuan himself who begged you to take the Soul of the Forest to activate your Beast King bloodline, so that you could co stir trouble for ?”
Cole nodded in admission.
Gu ngng gave a long exhale. “Could your bullshit at least be more a bit more reasonable?”
Cole sighed. “Chixuan took the opportunity of my absence to incite Kanwu to take over the stray beast camp territory. Did you know of this?”
Gu ngng didn’t answer but just continued staring coldly at Cole.
Cole knew from Gu ngng’s expression that she was aware of it. Hence, he continued. “I went to see Chixuan after I ca back, hoping that he would return the stray beast camp territory himself. After all... he is your precious son and I wanted to try diplomacy before force for your sake. But Little Xuan told that there is a type of fruit you loved inside the stray beast camp and so he had to have the territory. However, he was willing to give the Soul of the Forest in exchange, to help activate my Beast King bloodline. In this way... I won’t need to hide from you in fear anymore. The lure of his offer was too great, so I agreed.”
Gu ngng just looked wordlessly at Cole, as if saying, “Go on, continue weaving your lies”.
