Chapter 708: Why Did You Not Want To Get Promoted?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Elvis held Gu ngng’s waist. “Stay ho with Sandy. Lea and I will go hunting.”
Gu ngng nodded in assent.
Lea and Elvis exchanged a look before leaving together. They morphed into beast form in unison at the entrance and sprinted off.
They were the masters of the Saint Nazaire territory. The other tribes would start to make trouble if they were away for too long. Now that they were back, they naturally had to reaffirm their authority.
After running around the borders of their territory, the two of them stopped beneath a tree.
Lea let Elvis wait below while he climbed up to raid a bird’s nest.
He used his tail to form a temporary pouch and placed the eggs securely inside. He then slowly climbed down.
Elvis took over the eggs and frowned. “Why so few?”
Lea smiled. “ngng doesn’t allow us to take everything all at once. We can only take half at the most. These can last ngng at least one or two days. I will go raid another nest during our patrol of the territory tomorrow.”
Elvis nodded without a word.
The territory of Saint Nazaire was very expensive. It wasn’t impossible to patrol the entire area within a day, but the two of them... didn’t want to be away from Gu ngng for too long.
Holding those eggs, they made their way back. Lea also hunted two wild animals and he and Elvis each carried one on their shoulders. They then headed ho.
Lea looked extrely blissful. Having a ho to return to was a luxury, and he now had that luxury.
When they were nearing the living quarters, Elvis stopped and frowned, “Why did you not want to get promoted?”
“Huh?” Lea was taken aback. He turned to look at Elvis and suddenly laughed. “You could tell?”
Elvis nodded. “I didn’t intervene sooner when you were battling Cole, as I was waiting for you to be promoted. You were clearly nearing the next stage and would have surpassed it if you had put in a bit more effort. Why did you give up?”
Lea lowered his head and gazed upon those few eggs. He said with so lancholy, “I promised ngng that I will never make things difficult for her, in matters between you and .”
Elvis replied, “I don’t understand.”
Lea sighed. “ngng is already powerful enough. No one can easily cause her any harm. Moreover, doesn’t our family already have you, a fifth-level beast? So it doesn’t matter if I am a bit weaker.”
Didn’t matter?
Gu ngng might be fooled by these words.
But Elvis was well aware that Lea had nearly lost his life during that earlier attack by the stray beasts. When Gu ngng lost control of her beast aura and killed several of their enemies and fellow tribesn, the one who suffered the bla for the incident was not Gu ngng. Instead, it was Lea, who had been held accountable for not being strong enough.
Everyone was secretly blaming Lea. Not only did he fail to protect his own female, he had let her fall into danger and indirectly caused the deaths of so many fellow tribesn.
Elvis had clearly seen the anguish Lea had suffered. As a male, he didn’t believe Lea would be contented to remain a weakling and be labeled a burden to Gu ngng.
But he obviously had the chance to be promoted, why didn’t he take it?
“What are you worried about?” Elvis pursued.
Lea lowered his head and avoided Elvis’ eyes. He chuckled. “You are thinking too much. I am not worried about anything.”
Elvis exhaled loudly and lifted his chin. “If so, then there is no need to hide this matter from Xiao ng, right?”
