Chapter 407: I Could Do It Once in a While
Lea looked up at Gu ngng with watery eyes. Since his tail was stepped on by Elvis anyway, he did not want to get up, but laid on the bed like a drunk imperial concubine.
“Alright, you are the first partner after all.” Lea stretched out his arms lazily and supported his head. He started talking slowly, “Make a guess, how many sons does my mother have?”
Gu ngng did not understand what Lea ant, but since he was already the Ninth Highness, it was definitely more than nine.
Gu ngng vaguely rembered that foxes give birth to seven to ten cubs on average, but only around four survive. Unless the person is masochistic, one usually would not count the dead ones into the ranking...
So, if Lea was the Ninth Highness, it would be around two to three nests of cubs?
So Gu ngng guessed, “Eleven or twelve?”
Lea shook his head, smiled slyly and said, “Nine, I am the smallest one.”
Gu ngng let out an awkward smile, not knowing why Lea was being so proud, was being the smallest in the family sothing to be proud of? That just ant that you were the slowest swimr compared to your brothers when you were just a tadpole...
Seeing Lea starting to answer Gu ngng’s doubts, Elvis moved his feet away.
Once his tail was freed, Lea wagged it twice lazily and stood up straight. He looked at Elvis and said, “The next ti, co up with a more convincing reason to threaten , or else I won’t cooperate with you.”
Elvis raised his eyebrow and said, “You don’t think I will really shave all your fur?”
Lea shook his head and said with ‘are you an idiot’ written over his face, “ngng likes my tail so much, if you really do shave it all.. Well I’m fine with that, at most I will remain in my human form and not show my tail, but ngng will definitely be so disappointed. Will you do things... that will upset her?”
Elvis bit his teeth and coldly said, “I could do it once in a while.”
“Tsk, go on.” Lea despised him.
Gu ngng facepald, sotis she really wondered how did these two enemies live together in peace in the past? How did Elvis resist his urge of strangling Lea to death with Lea’s damned mouth.
Stretching out her hand, Gu ngng signaled a stop sign and said, “Can you answer my question first, we are kind of rushing here, I have got to do the recital on stage during the ceremony in a while.”
Lea smacked his lips and went back to the pace, “Then do you know Cole’s ranking in the family?”
Gu ngng had an uncertain impression of the Beast World, that many rules here resembled the conservative society in traditional China. So she did not hesitate and blurted out, “The oldest of course.”
Lea’s expression did not change and he continued smiling, but Gu ngng could sense a little sadness in it.
Frowning, Gu ngng asked, “Why? Isn’t he the oldest?”
Lea shook his head and said, “He is the second oldest.”
While Gu ngng did not understand where did Lea’s sadness cos from, her instincts told her Lea would not ask irrelevant questions.
She then thought of the old rule of passing down in the past: Pass to the oldest and child of the first wife.
If Cole was the second oldest, then wasn’t the position of Sauder’s Leader not supposed to be inherited by him?
Gu ngng felt a chill down her spine as she asked carefully, “Then... Where’s your oldest brother?”
Lea nodded, as though he was complinting Gu ngng’s sharpness, but the forced smile looked so pale and heartbreaking.
