Chapter 998: It Felt Good To Be Idolized.
After placating Wabei, Gu ngng entered the cave. Her four children were already happily playing with each other. Although Chixuan was sowhat more distant from his three brothers, Gu ngng could clearly discern the joy in his eyes.
Kanwu was the most guileless. He felt no sha from the fact that they were from the sa litter—but Chixuan had already advanced to beco a second-level beast, whereas he was still at the first-level. On the contrary, he was full of pride.
Following Chixuan closely with his eyes, he looked as if he wanted the entire world to know just how strong and mighty his brother was. But his adulation made Chixuan feel sowhat embarrassed.
It felt good to be idolized.
Hede was the eldest of the brothers. Although he was still a first-level beast, he still acted very much like the big brother. Looking at his younger brothers fooling around, he only joined in now and then. Most of the ti, he just stood at the side with so fruit. Any ti one of them ca near him, he would stuff so fruit in their mouths.
Jialue was the smartest. He was not as powerful as Chixuan or as strong as Kanwu, so he would generally tumble about with the rest for awhile before sidling up to Hede for sothing to eat.
When Kanwu saw Jialue getting sothing to eat, he would also hustle over. But instead of eating it himself, he would stuff the food into Chixuan’s mouth.
Chixuan was montarily taken aback, but still swallowed the food with a smile thereafter.
Looking at how well her children were getting along, Gu ngng couldn’t bear to step in and spoil this harmonious scene.
Elvis and Lea were at their wits end with the noisy children. They noticed Gu ngng smiling foolishly as she stood at the entrance, with no intention of entering. Hence they each picked up two boys by the crook of their necks and flung them out.
“There are many caves here. The four of you go get one to stay in for the mont.” Elvis commanded from the door.
Kanwu harrumphed and hung one arm around Chixuan’s neck. “Second brother, where we are going to spend the night—it all depends on you now.”
Chixuan was rather hesitant. Actually, he wished to go and find Cole.
But his brothers were just first-level beasts. If he let them try and take over soone else’s cave, they might get injured.
Actually, a second-level beast in a stray beast territory was not considered much at all, but Kanwu’s frank adulation made him feel like he couldn’t just leave the three of them behind.
Hence he nodded and let Kanwu hang onto his neck in an intimate manner, as they sauntered off.
The four brothers discussed their battle strategy as they walked into the night.
Their laughter resonated in the night air—rather obnoxiously, but it fit their youthful age.
Feeling a warmth approach from behind, Gu ngng was engulfed in Elvis’ embrace.
“Let’s go in. The night air is chilly.”
Gu ngng didn’t turn around. She just leaned backwards and rested completely on Elvis’ chest. Her gaze still lingered in the direction of her sons, as the corners of her lips subconsciously curled up. Even her voice sounded sweet. “I never imagined that I would be married by 18 and have four grown-up sons by 19...”
Elvis tightened his embrace. “I am sorry. I shouldn’t have let you bear children so soon.”
“Silly boy. Why are you saying sorry. I never felt this was not a good thing. I just wished... we could remain like this forever.”
Elvis knew Chixuan was Gu ngng’s bane. That was why he said he shouldn’t have let Gu ngng bear children so soon.
Kissing the top of Gu ngng’s head, Elvis said, “I have never loved anyone before. You are my first. I am afraid I am not doing enough and made you feel that love is just like that.”
