Chapter 334 - I'm Yours

Gu Mengmeng used all the ready-made ingredients at home to whip up a large hotpot while Lea fed the four little ones some bone soup and soon, all four of them started sleeping like logs after playing for an entire afternoon.

The five adults surrounded a large hotpot, chatting while eating. The atmosphere also warmed up quite a lot.

“Now there’s no one else here, say, how do you plan on handling Ian and his tribesman?” Gu Mengmeng asked Lea while scooping some meat into Elvis’s bowl.

Lea handed his own bowl over, appearing spoiled as if he would not disclose anything to her if she did not give him meat to eat.

Gu Mengmeng was lazy to argue with him so she scooped a large bowl of meat for him.

Lea then ate his meat in satisfaction before continuing, “I have a premonition that even if we send Nina to attend the beauty pageant this year as usual, Sauder won’t leave us alone. They’ll still send people over to find out what’s true and what’s false. So, I decide to continue hiding Ian and his tribesman in order to use them as a secret weapon for the messenger of the Beast Deity.”

Gu Mengmeng tilted her head and said, “If you didn’t mention it, I would’ve forgotten. Hadn’t Dumbo verify my identity previously? Won’t the people in Sauder long know about my identity already?”

Lea gave a light smile and said, “Sagua had an ill fate. Winter came before he had the chance to leave the mountains. I’m afraid he did not make it back alive to report the news. Or else, the people from Sauder would have already made their way here and we won’t be able to wait until now.”

Gu Mengmeng thought it over and agreed with what he said.

Sauder was a snow fox tribe. Lea could walk about in the snow so if Dumbo’s information was really sent out, it should have reached them already.

Gu Mengmeng nodded her head and said, “Do you think they will send another faithful messenger over?”

Lea shook his head and said, “No.”

“Huh?” Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea in confusion.

Lea continued, “Since their first faithful messenger did not return, Sauder will definitely raise their guard. This time, they won’t snatch you away on such a large scale anymore and instead, they will choose to use some unrepresentable and ugly methods. The people from the snow fox tribe are used to doing such dirty tricks.”

Gu Mengmeng patted Lea’s shoulder and said in all earnestness, “Big brother, don’t forget that you’re also from the snow fox tribe.”

Lea’s smile faltered for a moment but the next second, he regained that tender smile on his face and said, “No, I’m not from the snow fox tribe anymore. I’m…yours.”

Gu Mengmeng believed that she did not see wrongly and she linked it to the words Dumbo said before. Her heart was tugged at and she felt uncomfortable but she switched a topic and said, “How do you decide to tackle them?”

Lea chuckled before using his finger to hook onto Gu Mengmeng’s chin. “As long as my mighty messenger can promise me that she won’t leave the tribe regardless what happens and if she really needs to head out, she has to bring both Elvis and me along, every little action of Sauder will become a useless move. So, why will I need to tackle them?”

Gu Mengmeng swatted Lea’s hand away and said, “Just talk if you want to, don’t keep touching me.”

Lea sighed as he hugged onto his large tail, ruffling it. He muttered to himself, “Sigh, back then, I allowed you to touch my body here and there….now, all I did was to touch your chin and you rejected me. Sigh, what a cold-blooded person….”

Gu Mengmeng really felt an impulse to rush over to Lea and bite him to death. Couldn’t he heed by his moral principles especially after they broke up? Was there a need to keep bringing up what happened back then?!

Gu Mengmeng glared at Lea and ignored him before turning around to take more meat from the deeper part of the cave.

After Gu Mengmeng left, Elvis looked at Lea and said faintly, “Why are you acting so indifferently? You must be feeling rather frantic from needing to meet Sauder soon, right? If you’re willing to say it out, Xiao Meng will….”

Lea kept his joking expression and sighed deeply. Forcing a smile, he said, “I want to become someone she can rely on and not her burden. Elvis, you should understand me…at least.”
