Chapter 254: It’s Related, Very Related.

Gu Mengmeng had her back facing Lea and she completely did not know what Lea was thinking about. She was just very satisfied that Elvis did not attempt to slip away and sweeten her.
Yeah yeah, his attitude was still very proper~
Thinking about this, Gu Mengmeng’s expression became much more genial and she held Elvis’s hand in hers gently, talking in a slightly blaming tone, “Secondly, don’t you dare say that it’s alright even if I don’t like you, don’t care for you and even not remember you. We’re a married couple, a whole being who share the same fate of going through thick and thin together. We’re bound together for good or ill and are like birds of the same feather. We’re going to support each other till old age and spend our entire lifetime together. How is that not related? It’s related, very related.”
Elvis allowed Gu Mengmeng to poke his palm with her hand. Her little finger felt like it was coated with yellow gravy and that sweet taste stabbed straight into his heart.
Elvis held Gu Mengmeng’s hand firmly and pulled her into his arms, answering her tenderly, “Alright, I’ll remember. I won’t say those words in the future anymore.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded her head in satisfaction and then said, “And thirdly…”
“Yeah,” Elvis nodded his head, waiting for her to continue.
However, Gu Mengmeng hesitated and contemplated for quite some time before opening her mouth slowly to say, “If… if I’m not the messenger of the Beast Deity, you can’t abandon me.”
Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s forehead and said, “Fool, my stamp is already burned on your collarbone. I’ll definitely not abandon you forever. If you’re not the messenger of the Beast Deity, I’ll have to thank the Beast Deity. That way, I can hide you in Saint Nazaire for an entire lifetime and you need not face the chaos outside too.”
Hearing this, Gu Mengmeng then truly let go and she tapped Elvis’s chest, saying, “What a good-for-nothing, isn’t it good for your wife to be the messenger of the Beast Deity? That is a position everyone wants to be in because they can get whatever they want, how majestic-looking.”
However, Elvis did not regard it as right as he said in melancholy, “But you said before that another name for supremacy is called loneliness. You’ll be afraid of your son extending his sharp claws at you some day and your partner might clutch your neck one night suddenly…”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and she looked up at Elvis, “If you want to be one, just one sentence from you and I’ll pass this position of messenger of the Beast Deity to you, you don’t have to clutch my neck.”
Elvis tapped her delicate nose and said, “Clutching your neck is like clutching my own throat, I’ll definitely not do such a dumb thing.”
Gu Mengmeng thought for a moment and felt that he made sense so she broke into laughter and huddled closer to Elvis till they formed a ball of fluff.
Lea slowly stood up and exited. Everything in this room was very radiant and warm but there’s… no place for him here.
Between Gu Mengmeng and Elvis, not even the slightest gap existed for him to stay.
Lea could not help but ponder whether Elvis felt the same when Gu Mengmeng and him were whispering sweet nothings to each other previously.
Lea disappeared in the darkness of the cave and it was just a distance of a wall but he could hear Gu Mengmeng’s laughter clearly but it made him feel colder.
Lea took a beast skin from the pile at one side. He remembered that he chose them himself one piece by one piece and handed them to Elvis before winter. He was anticipating how these beast skins could keep Gu Mengmeng warm during the freezing winter.
But he didn’t know, can this beast skin… warm him too?
Lea placed the beast skin over him and leaned against the wall, looking at the direction where Gu Mengmeng’s voice came from. He tried to lift the corners of his lips and tell himself, “At least, she’s laughing now, this is good, this is good…”
