Lea looked at Gu Mengmeng silently for a long time, eventually giving in and sighed, “Give me three days’ time, let me make all the appropriate arrangements here and then I’ll go with you.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head, placing her tiny hand on the back of Lea’s, “In the case that I face an unpredicted obstacle, I have to have someone out there to come save me, don’t I?”
Lea gritted his teeth and lost all ability to fake any smiles, asking one word at a time, “You’re abandoning me?”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled, gently caressing Lea’s face, “No, I just want you to guard a place of return for me. Give me some s.p.a.ce to back up to. I will return, definitely.”
Lea held Gu Mengmeng’s hand tightly, losing his cool for the first time, not caring that her wrist had turned red due to him exerting his strength, only replying, “I don’t allow that! I won’t permit you to leave me alone.”
Elvis held Lea’s arm, “Calm down, Xiao Meng will be hurt.”
Lea, however, was unwilling to let go as he side-eyed Elvis, “How do I calm down? How about we switch positions, I accompany Xiao Meng to Snake King valley while you guard here. Show me, how will you calm down?”
Gu Mengmeng patted Elvis’ chest, gesturing him to not quarrel with Lea. She then jumped out from Elvis’ embrace and took the initiative to enter Lea’s, sticking her against his chest. One of her arm was tightly held by Lea, and she used the other to wrap around Lea’s waist, as Gu Mengmeng said softly, “Hede and brothers are flesh that came from my body, no matter what I will not let this matter rest. Now that snake king has made it clear he’s targeting me, so even if I don’t go, he won’t let me go. Lea, I promise you, no matter what I will try my best to protect myself and not leave you alone. Don’t forget, I am the messenger of the Beast Deity, the biological daughter of the beast deity. The mighty beast deity would surely look out for me.”
“I won’t block you if you want to save the little wolves, but you have to bring me along.” Lea hugged Gu Mengmeng tightly, unwilling to compromise.
Gu Mengmeng, “Saint Nazaire and Sauder had just experienced a great battle, and the public is very divided right now, both parties feeling uneasy and n.o.body can control the situation. I promise you, I will definitely come back within three months, just wait three months for me, won’t you?”
Lea shook his head, brows tightly furrowed, expressing his extreme uneasiness with a fearful voice that seemed to tear at the depths of his soul, “I can’t live even a moment without you. How can I wait… three months? So what is Saint Nazaire is ruined? So what if Sauder is gone? I have nothing to lose, other than you.”
Elvis stood behind Gu Mengmeng, speaking slowly, “Xiao Meng, I support Lea… this time.”
Gu Mengmeng raised her head to look at Elvis with a face of confusion, only to see his mystic blue eyes filled with sincerity and depth as he used a stern voice he had never used before to explain, “If our opponent is the Snake King valley, we really cannot let our guard down. With Lea around, we can yield twice the result with half the effort. Furthermore, Cole is in the Snake King valley, that rascal lost this time because he underestimated his opponents, so he surely feels very indignant now, who knows how much he has planned while he waits for us now. In this world, only Lea understands Cole more than any other, so with him around, our chances of success and safety will be much higher. As for the tribe… I think Barete and Auretin will be able to guard it well, in addition to Oakley’s a.s.sistance, three months should not pose any problems.”
