Chapter 169: Just Like This
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Despite how dumb Gu ngng was, she could still notice sothing. She released Elvis’s arm and looked up into his eyes, asking him, “The strong clan and the reliable clan mber... who is it?”
Lea was outside the cave and could not see Gu ngng’s actions. He could only sense that Gu ngng was not in a good mood through her voice but he still answered, “Elvis is the strongest male in Saint Nazaire and he has long been promoted to third-level beast. However, he always remained at this level because he did not have the blessing from the mating contract. I believe, as long as you mate with him, he can advance into fourth-level in no ti. As long as he gets promoted successfully.....”
“Ha...” Gu ngng sneered and cut off Lea’s words. She looked as if all energy was depleted from her body as she sat on her legs loosely without any strength. She looked down at her own fingers and muttered to herself, “Turns out that in your eyes, I’m just a tool for promotion.”
Lea’s heart stopped beating. At that mont, he understood what was making him feel uneasy just now.
His ngng misunderstood him!
Lea wanted to open his mouth to explain but Gu ngng beat him to it, “If I mate with Elvis, he will beco trendously strong. If he becos so strong until he can handle all critical situations in the Beast World, I’ll just have him as a partner. Why is there still a need to accept the rules on this Beast World? If the strength he gained after mating with is still not enough to handle all these danger... ha, clan. How many partners do I need to be considered a clan? Three? Five? Ten? Hundred?”
Gu ngng breathed in deeply and suddenly stood up, shouting outside the cave, “Please go, I don’t want to see you again.”
Lea’s body froze. He exerted all the strength in his body but he realized that he did not even have the energy to control his fingertips.
He...
lost?
He lost Gu ngng just like that? Wasn’t it sothing that could pass by if he just held it in, wait a while, pamper her and let her scold him?
In her heart... was he after all, just like this?
Lea really wanted to rush into the cave and explain to Gu ngng. He had no ti to consider the future or who was right or life and death, he just wanted to hug Gu ngng and see her smile, play with her and hear her call him ‘Daddy Lea’.
When Elvis appeared at the entrance of the cave, he caught hold of Lea’s shoulder, his expression solemn and sombre. His voice was not loud but it did not allow any room for question, “She says that she doesn’t want to see you. Please leave.”
Lea grabbed onto Elvis’s wrist and cried, “I want to see her!”
Elvis did not back off and he retracted his hand while turning back. At the sa ti, he used his other hand to choke Lea’s neck, “Unless she agrees or I die.”
Lea was dumbfounded and he stared at Elvis with dull and absent eyes after a while, asking him, “The battle that day, if I did not surrender... would you have really bitten to death? You won’t mind sacrificing one of your legs?”
Elvis remained silent for a while and nodded his head, “Yes, I will.”
Lea frowned and continued asking,”Have you ever wondered, if I die and you beco a crippled beast, what will Saint Nazaire beco?”
Elvis was silent for a long ti once again. Then, he lifted his head and returned Lea’s gaze with determined eyes, “I’m not as clever as you and don’t have the ability to consider so many things at the sa ti. I only know that I can’t hand ngng over to you.”
Lea was taken aback and asked, “Why?”
Elvis replied with the sa tone, “Do you still rember the night you saved Xiaong from Quentin’s hands?”
