Chapter 425: Do Not Pity Me
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“My female…?”
Auretin subconsciously looked towards Gu Mengmeng and Elvis, wondering if he would one day find a partner like Gu Mengmeng, who would not despise his past history and would be willing to act cute in his arms, even if it was simply doing meaningless things such as carving beast horns, one who could smile as blissfully.
Smile…
Auretin pulled on the edges of his own lips, wanting to recreate Elvis’ expression. It was a shame that his lips were too heavy and could not be pulled up no matter how much he tried.
At the corner, Lea was noticing every expression of Auretin’s, and proceeded to pat him on the shoulder, “Jealous?”
Auretin nodded.
Lea replied, “I’m jealous too, once… she used to smile like this in my arms often.”
Auretin gave Lea a pitiful glance.
Responding with a smile, Lea said, “Mengmeng did not abandon me, it was me who made a foolish decision. Hence, I am already sufficiently satisfied that I can guard at her side like this. Do not pity me, for I am not miserable.”
Auretin nodded again, “Actually… I envy you too.”
Lea smiled proudly, wagging his tail, “Of course you should, because other than Elvis, I am the most blissful male in this world.”
Auretin looked at Lea’s tail, asking confusedly, “You are clearly a fully evolved orc, why do you always act like a half-orc?”
Lea stared back at Auretin as if he was an idiot, “Of course it’s because our Mengmeng likes my tail.”
Auretin thought about it again, then asked, “Today, everyone in Sauder suddenly started to act like half-orcs, wagging their tails and revealing their beast ears. Was that all to please Gu Mengmeng?”
Lea nodded, “Probably, but those are fruitless labour. Our Mengmeng only likes black tails and white tails.”
Auretin stayed silent for a moment and slowly transformed out his own tail: a white tail and a black tail… doesn’t that refer to his?
Not saying a word, Auretin focused on watching how Lea handled the prey and memorised them all. His eyes darted towards Gu Mengmeng once in a while and noticed that it was as if she could only see Elvis in her eyes.
If, Elvis could become Gu Mengmeng’s first partner because he had a black tail.
If, Lea could become Gu Mengmeng’s beast pet because he had a white tail.
Then, since he has a tail with a color in between black and white, did it mean that… he could become the third most blissful male in this world?
Lea cut the meat into trim pieces then started to place them into the pot.
Everyone was given a bowl and a pair of chopsticks made from tree branches. The water was bubbling, boiling readily. The slices of meat were thinly cut by Lea, so much so that they were cooked the instant they were placed in the boiling water.
Gu Mengmeng, Elvis and Lea had all begun eating, yet only Auretin was holding the two wooden sticks, not knowing what to do with them. He tried to hold the chopsticks the way Elvis and Lea did, but the moment he got nervous, they snapped between his fingers.
Gu Mengmeng looked up and smiled warmly, “It’s alright, Lea and Elvis were like this too when they first started out using chopsticks. You are just not used to them yet.”
With that, Gu Mengmeng scooped some meat into Auretin’s bowl with her chopsticks and asked, “Isn’t this your first time eating cooked food? Give it a try, see if it suits your taste.”
Auretin did not respond, only raising the bowl and poured all the meat into his mouth.
