Chapter 177: A Living Hormone
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Barete clenched his fists and flexed his arm. Firm muscles then appeared and his tough, manly image perfectly showed that he was a living hormone.
Gu Mengmeng nodded her head and said, “Seems like you’re not in a bad shape, I rest assured. Hurry and search for prey with the rest if not they’ll snatch everything away.”
Barete was not feeling anxious at all and he continued standing on the spot while looking at Gu Mengmeng. He asked, “You saved me on the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment. To repay you, I’ll be in charge of your food for the winter. What do you like to eat? Tell me and I’ll help prepare it for you.”
This thing... is Lea’s suggestion.
At that time she had not lose Lea yet.
The smile on Gu Mengmeng’s face faltered, and she felt the premonitions of crying. Gu Mengmeng condemned herself harshly in her heart for being a good-for-nothing. She rubbed her nose and pretended to think while she lifted up her face and moved her eyes to force the mist out. Forcing herself to smile, she replied, “Actually, there’s no need to. You helped me before and I helped you back so we’re considered even now. Elvis will help me prepare my food. You can just take care of yourself.”
Barete looked towards Elvis with sincere and determined eyes while saying, “Elvis, please let me enter your cave this winter.”
Elvis frowned and stay silent for quite a while, “I’ll prepare enough food for Xiaomeng. And... she’ll not agree too.”
Barete looked at Gu Mengmeng and then landed his gaze back to Elvis’s face, “Leader, please allow me to enter your cave this winter.”
Elvis frowned even more, and he squinted his eyes at Barete, “Are you reminding me to not forget myself and my identity?”
Barete kept quiet, he neither admitted nor denied.
Elvis smirked and turned his neck to each side, giving off a feeling that he was warming up.
Gu Mengmeng completely did not understand what riddle the two of them were going on about but despite how slow-witted she was, she could sense the strong smell of gunpowder. Barete had came down from the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment just for a few days. Traveling outside the gates of hell for three days was not any joking matter. On the other hand, Elvis injured his leg due to an unknown reason a while ago. Why were these two injured patients still so hot-tempered?
Gu Mengmeng patted Elvis’s shoulder and shifted his attention to her. She then gave a slight smile, “Can you bring me around? I don’t want to eat meat the whole winter, I’ll get sick to death.”
Elvis peered at Barete, not saying a word and he just nodded.
Gu Mengmeng turned her head to Barete and said, “In the past, I don’t understand the rules in the Beast World. I thought that everything here was the same as my world and that males and females can be friends. But, now I know that besides mating, females and males can’t have other relationships. I don’t want to find a partner here so please don’t waste any more time on me. Go and prepare your own food and don’t look for me again.”
After Gu Mengmeng finished speaking, she wrapped her arms around Elvis’s neck and gestured him to leave.
Elvis did not linger any second longer, and he carried Gu Mengmeng outside the tribe for a walk.
Barete was not dejected at all by Gu Mengmeng’s words. He knew about what happened to Lea. Regarding Gu Mengmeng’s views on love, although he could not understand but he would not attempt to change.
He was different from Lea. Mating with Gu Mengmeng was his dream but he did not attach any extravagant hopes for it to be fulfilled. He was satisfied with just protecting her from afar and helping her accomplish some trivial tasks.
So, he maintained a distance and followed behind Elvis quietly. There was no disappointment, no hesitation and no uncertainty, just his determined gaze and his original faithful self.
