Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO Chapter 675 – He Thrilled In The Torment, Not The Killing

Chapter 675: He Thrilled In The Torment, Not The Killing

Gu Mengmeng’s appearance soothed this frenzied person.

As long as the messengers of the Beast Deity were being protected, all their sacrifice would have been for glory.

Gu Mengmeng and Elvis were both powerful higher-ups. Although they had been heavily injured, their healing speed was also the fastest.

The other second and third-level beasts were not so lucky. Not only had they been attacked by the stray beasts, they suffered internal injuries caused by the force unleashed by Gu Mengmeng’s loss of control. It would not be easy to recover.

Lea arranged to have everyone settle down at this spot, to continue their journey only after they have mostly recovered.

Every night over the past days, Burke would bring Kanwu back for dinner with everyone.

Kanwu appeared with fresh injuries daily. He was always either limping or had a swollen face. Gu Mengmeng was pained to see him in this state, but stopped trying to persuade him to give up.

Watching Kanwu return every night to report on his progress and improvements, Gu Mengmeng didn’t do anything else except repeatedly filling his bowl with pieces of meat.

The sun shone brightly at noon.

Gu Mengmeng sat in the hole dug for her by Lea. She stroked Lea’s tail.

Lea laid across Gu Mengmeng’s knees with eyes narrowed in contentment.

Elvis was standing on a branch, as his gaze lingered over Gu Mengmeng. His eyes were filled with a warmth and gentleness akin to the sun’s rays.

“It’s been seven days and no sign of the next step…” Gu Mengmeng said gently.

Lea’s fox ears twitched and his lips curled. “Yes, this is really unlike Cole.”

Elvis passed a cup of warm water over to Gu Mengmeng. “He mustered such a large number of people just to send Burke to us? Was he not afraid that we would just kill him and settle things once and for all?”

Lea nudged at the cup in Gu Mengmeng’s hands, urging her to drink a bit more.

Looking at her moistened and tender lips, his gaze turned much gentler. “Mengmeng wishes to save Chixuan, and to do so, we need to find Cole. That was why he had purposely left his own scent on Cole, so that we can’t kill Cole but have to use him as a hostage in exchange for his appearance.”

Gu Mengmeng sighed. “I really don’t understand what is Cole’s intentions in doing all this? To kill you? To kill me? Or to kill Elvis? No matter who he is targeting, Burke alone is unable to do it…”

Lea touched Gu Mengmeng’s little face lightly with his finger. “Cole always had a malevolent personality. For him, it is never about the killing, but it’s all about the torment. Take me for example, I am small and young like an ant and he can easily kill me without a trace. But he doesn’t want me dead. He wants me to live on and watch as he takes everything away from me. Cole wants me to spiral down from my high position as the Ninth Highness right into the mud below. He enjoys watching me struggle to no avail under his foot. To see my distressed expression and internal torment.”

Gu Mengmeng propped up her cheek. “So Cole is one disturbed pervert.”

Lea chuckled and nodded. “Um, you can say that.”

“If tormenting people is his hobby, then Mengmeng should be safe,” Elvis said faintly. “If he wishes to torment you or me, nothing will be worse than taking away Mengmeng. But if he wants to torment Mengmeng, he must keep her alive then.”
