Chapter 999: At The Start Of Every Great Love Story, There Must Be Someone Playing Punk

“Silly boy.” Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “You have given me your entire heart. This is already the most perfect type of love. How could it be ‘just like that’?”
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head to gaze up at Elvis.
The moonlight was warm and fuzzy, softening his typically harsh features. Even his pale blue eyes held an alluring flavor that was unique to the night.
“Hubby, I remembered you told me that you were mad at me when we first met. You were unhappy at my inappropriate attire and for not being vigilant, and was angry in case I was seen by others in that state…” Gu Mengmeng couldn’t help giggling as she recalled that incident. She continued. “But you never told me that apart from being angry, did you like me then?”
“Why would I get angry if I didn’t like you? Silly.” Elvis finished his sentence by planting a kiss on Gu Mengmeng’s lips.
It was a fleeting touch and Elvis didn’t deepen that kiss. Instead, he asked, “What about you? Did you like me when you first met me?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled bashfully. “When I first saw you, the Heavens whispered to me: you are doomed to fall for this guy. But the funny thing was I still thought you were just a dream. I didn’t believe that there could be someone as perfect as you. And who would also let me tease him so… ha, when I kissed you and claimed I wouldn’t take responsibility. Was I playing punk?”
“Mmm, yes you were.” Elvis smiled affectionately. His expression bore no grudge, but was instead traced with sweetness.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “Well… at the start of every great love story, there must be someone playing punk. Madame White Snake made it rain to trick Xu Xian into giving her his umbrella. Zhu Yingtai playing the fool to tease Liang Shanbo when accompanying him for those 18 miles. The seventh fairy blocking Dong Yong’s path. The cowherd stealing the clothes of the weaver girl when she was bathing… Gu Mengmeng seducing and kissing Elvis in her bathing suit.”
Elvis didn’t argue with her incongruous logic.
Everything she said was good. Anything she said was right.
“The cave is already warm now. Don’t keep standing outside. The air is chilly during the rainy season and not good for Mengmeng.” Lea called out from the cave.
Elvis lifted Gu Mengmeng and carried her back into the cave.
Gu Mengmeng sat by the fire hugging her knees. She hesitated a moment before speaking. “I want to cast a bewitching spell on Chixuan.”
Lea pursed his lips. “I thought of this method too, but felt it is not appropriate.”
Gu Mengmeng lifted her eyes. “Are you also worried that Cole had planted some subliminal device in Chixuan, such that he would come to harm if I try to cast a bewitching spell on him?”
Lea nodded his head in reply.
Gu Mengmeng sighed. “That is also why I have not dared to make my move all this while. But… I cannot wait any longer. Chixuan nearly died today. What about next time? I don’t know when Cole would once again push Chixuan into a dangerous situation. I cannot bear it anymore…”
Elvis held Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders gently and said in a low voice. “Perhaps killing Cole would be the simplest solution. If you want, I will go do so now.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “Cole must be killed, but not now. I must first get Chixuan back, before killing Cole. Otherwise, what if my bewitching spell fails to work after Cole dies—we don’t know what crazy thing Chixuan might do given his current feelings for Cole. So Cole cannot die for the time being.”
