Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO Chapter 790

He didn’t know her heart would also feel pain?

No, Lea always knew that.

On one hand, he hoped hat Gu Mengmeng would never see through him. But on the other hand, he had always hoped to hear her say her heart would feel pain for him.

Gu Mengmeng looked into Lea’s eyes and said solemnly, “I was a wreck when Snake died. If not for you and Elvis by my side, I would probably never have come out of my depression. Do you wish to let me go through that again? If the one who died was you… I would crumble.”

Lea held Gu Mengmeng tightly and kissed her left ear, rubbing it intimately. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have let you worry. Don’t be angry, don’t be sad… forgive me, alright?”

Gu Mengmeng placed her chin firmly on Lea’s shoulder and turned her face. She said softly, “Become stronger as soon as possible. Didn’t you promise to become my partner in crime, where we will go around terrorizing everyone else…”

Lea chuckled. He held Gu Mengmeng’s petite face as he kissed her on the lips. His smile was exceptionally radiant under the sunlight. “Alright, I will do whatever Mengmeng says. I will become stronger as quickly as possible and accompany you in your reign of terror.”

Basked in the warm sun, Gu Mengmeng felt her heart lightened after speaking her inner thoughts.

Lea always kept his promises to her.

He said he would become stronger and would never use himself as bait again.

This gave Gu Mengmeng’s heart a measure of calm.

After a long while, Gu Mengmeng turned to look into the distance with some worry. “Why hasn’t Elvis returned?”

Lea also felt that given Elvis’ abilities, his hunting jaunt had taken a bit too long. Unwilling to make Gu Mengmeng worry, he said casually, “This isn’t our territory after all. Perhaps it is harder to locate a suitable prey here. You know that apart from meat, he is also picky about the hide.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded. It would be winter soon after the end of the rainy season. Elvis was indeed starting to prepare the skinned furs for use during winter.

Since Gu Mengmeng’s appearance, Elvis had become increasingly critical of the skinned furs that could be used. Sometimes, she even suspected that Elvis must be a Virgo.

With that thought, she didn’t say anything more. She just continued to nestle in Lea’s embrace while playing with his upgraded version 2.0 tail, while awaiting Elvis’ return.

With no watch, Gu Mengmeng could only estimate the time.

About two hours later, Elvis finally returned with the prepared game.

But…

“You got injured?!” Gu Mengmeng jumped up from Lea’s arms as she saw the fist-sized wound on Elvis’ shoulder. Pain shot through her heart. “What happened? Did you meet with danger?”

Elvis glanced at his own wound and chuckled. He stroked Gu Mengmeng’s little head. He drew her into his embrace as he handed the game over to Lea for cooking. “No. I was accidentally bitten during my hunt. My recovery abilities are strong and will be fine by tomorrow. It’s nothing.”

Gu Mengmeng frowned at Elvis. “You promised never to lie to me.”

A fifth-level beast getting bitten by his prey during a hunt?

Why didn’t you just say that a vicious wolf was eaten by a rabbit after jumping into its burrow?

Elvis hesitated before lowering his head. He avoided Gu Mengmeng’s gaze. “I didn’t lie. I was really bitten during the hunt…” But he never said he was bitten by the prey, so that’s not considered a lie, right?
