At that time, she mentioned that Snake knew of a method to let her return to her original world. However, she didn’t listen to him and she didn’t allow Snake to tell her. She said that she didn’t want to know as she didn’t want to go back…
But she had now inherited Snake’s entire memory.
And in his extensive memory, apart from that interminable period of solitude, it included that method.
Feeling as if his brain had exploded, all sorts of thoughts flitted across Lea’s mind but he was unable to focus on any of them. Apart from holding Gu Mengmeng tighter, he had no way of convincing himself that she would not leave him.
After a long time, he stood up, still trembling. “Let’s head back or Elvis will be worried.”
“Mm.” Gu Mengmeng didn’t object and allowed Lea to carry her back.
They returned to find that Elvis had already chased Burke away.
Lea placed Gu Mengmeng back into Elvis’s embrace. He watched as Elvis supported Gu Mengmeng’s petite behind with one hand while her face rested against Elvis’ shoulder with a heavy expression. Lea couldn’t help feeling a sense of unease. He caught hold of Elvis’ free hand and pressed it firmly on Gu Mengmeng’s back. With eyes filled with distress, he urged. “Hold her tightly, hold tight!”
Elvis stared blankly at Lea. “What’s the matter?”
Lea had been behaving very strangely these few days. He had been trying to keep Xiao Meng for himself, and would never let go of her if he could. Why was he suddenly pushing her into his arms now?
Lea shook his head. “Mengmeng is hungry, I am going hunting.”
Before Elvis could say anything, Lea had transformed into a fox and ran off.
He’s only going hunting… why did he need to turn back to his original form?
Elvis stared after Lea in puzzlement, but didn’t say anything else. He just gazed down at the obviously depressed Gu Mengmeng. “Did you quarrel with Lea?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head but kept silent.
Elvis patted Gu Mengmeng’s little head. “Lea has been increasingly out of control these days. He would be even more upset than you if you were angry. How about letting me help you teach him a lesson when he returns, so that you can stop being so sad?”
Gu Mengmeng looked up and twisted her lips. After a slight hesitation, she said, “Elvis, since I inherited Snake’s abilities, I have not mated with you… do you… hold that against me?”
A sudden jolt shot through Elvis’ heart. Gu Mengmeng remembered inheriting Snake’s abilities, while all Elvis could recall was the sight of her nearly being killed by Ellie due to his incompetence.
He would forever remember that day when Snake carried her battered body before him. She had been so gravely injured and her breathing so weak. Meanwhile, he did not even have the strength to rise up and hold her.
So weak!
Those two words had been tormenting him day and night. He needed to become stronger so that he could protect her.
Presently, he could not touch her as her body was full of venom—wasn’t it all because he had been too weak to protect her?
Hold it against her? What right did he have? He was already thanking the heavens that she didn’t abandon him because of his inability.
Gu Mengmeng couldn’t read Elvis’ mind. As he maintained his silence, she could only continue speaking. “Lea wants to seek the Kiss of the Ocean to cleanse the venom in my body. Only then can I mate with you two. But…”
