Chapter 1574: Let’s Wipe Away All The Past

“He… why did he do that?” Gu Mengmeng did not understand and her first reaction was to ask, “Since he was already dead, why did he still have to plot a scheme? How did he intend to hurt you? Why did he want to still harm you after you were dead?”
Lea placed both hands on her shoulder to calm her down. He said calmly, “No, it’s not to hurt him. He wanted to help me become a Beast King so he had protected my heart. This was the last thing he had done for you. He told me not to say it and I have also agreed, but… He is after all my own brother. Regardless of how twisted he was, and how unsightly he was, at least when it comes to this matter… I do not want you to misunderstand him.”
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head in silence and responded, “Cole, he… seems to be agitating me on purpose.”
Lea laughed softly and asked, “How did you think of that?”
Gu Mengmeng, “Before he died, he told me how to undo the bewitching spell that had linked him and Chixuan… As though he was intentionally helping me to clear all my concerns and kill him. I was so furious at that time, but now that I think about it, he seems to be agitating me on purpose.”
Lea nodded and admitted, “Yeah, he was right. When it comes to attracting our hate, he’s naturally gifted.”
Gu Mengmeng hesitated for a while, then looked at Lea and asked, “Did I… kill the wrong person?”
“No.” Lea answered certainly and hugged her shoulders, then continued, “He has been sick of living and only wishes for his death. Dying in your hands is also a form of kindness to him. Even though to you, he may no longer be an extremely evil person, he was still one to others in the Beast World. By killing him, you have also cleared a threat for the world.”
Gu Mengmeng touched the position her heart was located at and said, “But I still feel uncomfortable. It was because he had killed you and Elvis that I had in the heat of the moment… but now that both of you are fine, he was dead. I feel as though I had wrongly killed an innocent man.”
Lea thought for a while and said, “Cole? An innocent man? It can’t be… Even though he has his reasons but it was true that he had tortured me during those years. Moreover, he had something to do with Elvis’ tragic childhood as well. It was also a fact that Chixuan was forced to be separated from you and had caused you to cry so badly. Any of these would have been sufficient reason for you to kill him.”
Lea placed Gu Mengmeng back into Elvis’ arms and placed both arms on her shoulders. With his eyes looking straight into hers, he said, “I have told you everything that Cole had done not to make you feel guilty, but so that you won’t hate him anymore. I have hated him for ten over years and I know how painful it was to hate a person. I don’t want you to experience this pain as well, so… since he is already dead, then we should wipe away all the past and not bother about it. Forgiving him would also be letting yourself off, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded slightly and replied, “Alright, I don’t hate him. Let’s wipe away all the past.”
“So well-behaved,” Lea smiled and nodded. Then, he kissed her cheeks and said, “Another thing that I need to tell you beforehand.”
“What is it?” Gu Mengmeng asked.
Lea and Elvis exchanged glances, then he slowly said, “The seven treasures had been gathered to open the doors of time and space, so the Tear of the Beast Deity and Love of the Sky in your body… is gone. You no longer have your Beast King capabilities and had become a weak little female like the time you had just transmigrated. Next time, if you encounter anything, you can no longer charge forward and should hide behind Elvis and I, you got it?”
