Chapter 685: If Mengmeng Likes It, I Can Accept It.
Gu Mengmeng and Burke led the four little ones to the grass patch for their picnic. It was just one leopard and its meat was not enough even for a wolf pup, not to mention the fully grown Burke.
This bit of meat was way too little for them, but it was something her sons had successfully hunted down and a symbolic taste was enough.
Burke made a fire and roasted the pieces of prepared meat.
The group of them chatted amiably with one another.
Some distance away, two figures, one black and one white, sat quietly watching them, not daring to go any closer.
Mengmeng must know they were there as she had already turned around to smile at them a few times.
And with Burke’s capabilities, although they had already sealed off their beast aura, they would be discovered by him if they went any closer.
Elvis frowned. His eyes held a deep chilliness. “How long do you think Mengmeng will have to hang out with Burke before Cole makes his move?”
Lea shook his head with a sigh. “I don’t know.”
Burke was handing a piece of roasted meat to Gu Mengmeng. It was too far away to hear what he was saying, but Gu Mengmeng received the meat and smiled at Burke.
Lea gripped a tree branch and snapped it in two, leaving a splintered wound on the side of the tree.
“A leopard’s meat is sour and tough, Mengmeng will get an upset stomach from eating it!” Lea said. He made to go forward with the intention of bringing Gu Mengmeng back.
Elvis held him back. “This is Mengmeng’s decision. We must obey.”
Lea turned with a cold smile. “Are you not afraid that Burke, who looks like Yoo Sijin, will become the third male in our family?”
Elvis frowned as he watched Gu Mengmeng’s gentle, quiet manner. His chest felt tightly constricted and he failed to rein in the murderous rage in his eyes. Nevertheless, he reluctantly nodded. “If Mengmeng likes it, I can accept.”
Lea shrugged off Elvis’ hand coldly. “You can, but I can’t. Mengmeng already has the capabilities of a Beast King, and no longer needs the protection of a powerful partner. That is why I will never not allow another male into our family to fight for her affections!”
With that, Lea strode towards Gu Mengmeng.
Elvis leaped in front of Lea and stated with a grim face. “Neither you nor I have the right to stop Mengmeng from taking on another male partner. As you mentioned, Mengmeng is the Messenger of the Beast Deity and she has the right to take on all the males she fancies.”
Lea lifted his head and exchanged a chilly glance with Elvis. “Did you hear Maya’s words this morning?”
Elvis frowned and remained silent. Nevertheless, that malevolent glint in his eyes confirmed Lea’s guess.
As Burke led Gu Mengmeng and the four little ones off this morning, they had passed by Maya’s temporary lodgings. She had told her partner then, “Burke is also a wolf beast. From this perspective, I would have thought he is Gu Mengmeng’s real partner and the father of those wolf pups.”
Waving his tail, Lea said, “Will you really be content to let him replace your position by Mengmeng’s side?”
Elvis narrowed his eyes and radiated a dangerous aura all over. He gnashed his teeth. “He will never replace me. I am Xiao Meng true first partner.”
