  After knowing Elvis’s age, Gu Mengmeng could not face him normally anymore. Whenever he dared to look at her when she caught him being in a daze, she would immediately avoid him and become nervous. She started to reject Elvis’s help in many things he used to take care of……like changing her period pad.

  Elvis was vexed and he started to see Lea as an eyesore.

  But he knew that Lea’s motive was to……fight for more time to keep Gu Mengmeng in their cave.

  Because if Gu Mengmeng acted too affectionate with the two of them, that pair of eyes that was watching them in the dark would not be able to control his jealousy and subsequently, snatch Gu Mengmeng away from them instantly.

  And both of them had no ability to snatch her back.

  He only had one chance to interact with her in one month so he could only withstand Gu Mengmeng’s discomfort around him and control himself from not looking at her. Then, he used every cell in his body to feel her gaze.

  A week was gone at the blink of an eye. When the colorful snakes appeared at the entrance of the cave, Lea’s and Elvis’s eyes dimmed a little but they still managed to hang a smile on their faces as they told Gu Mengmeng, “Snake sent people over to fetch you. You can follow these little snakes because they’ll bring you back to Snake’s cave.”


  Gu Mengmeng was aware that she felt uncomfortable after knowing Elvis’s age so in this rare interaction period, she was unable to act affectionate with him, not even once. She felt rather apologetic and also did not bear to leave him so she held in her awkwardness and walked to Elvis, hugging him. “Elvis, why don’t you send me over? I want to spend some more time with you.”


  Elvis’s body froze for a period of time before he dared to hug Gu Mengmeng, saying, “I won’t accept any reasons you give for not loving me.”


  Gu Mengmeng clamped her lips and muttered, “It’s not about not loving you, I just felt that I had ruined an underage boy……”


  Elvis leaned forward and kissed Gu Mengmeng’s lips. After biting her lip lightly, he said, “Orcs are considered of-age from the moment they can evolve into human form. I’ve already become of-age for 15 years.”


  Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis in shock, blinking her eyes and not saying a word.

  Becoming of-age at one year old……who the hell are you trying to con?

  Gu Mengmeng tried to recall what she was doing when she was one year-old.

  Erm……

  She completely could not recall but looking at other one year-old kids, they were all still sitting in their baby prams, biting onto their pacifiers and drinking milk. Are you trying to acting like an adult now?

  Elvis tapped Gu Mengmeng’s little head and said, “The timescale and growth pattern of orcs are different from your kind, don’t compare them with that wild imagination of yours.”


  Gu Mengmeng rubbed her head unsatisfactorily as she refuted, “What’s the difference? A brat is still a brat.”


  Elvis clenched his teeth and said, “A brat can’t make you pregnant but I can.”


  Gu Mengmeng’s face turned red as she stomped her feet and turned her back against Elvis but did not walk away. The words ‘hurry and pacify me, I’m angry’ were clearly written on the back of her head.

  Lea also knew that Gu Mengmeng’s awkwardness made Elvis uncomfortable these few days so he came out to mediate the situation and said, “Elvis is not wrong, orcs are considered adults once they gain the ability to evolve. Moreover, our lifespan should be different from your world.”


  Gu Mengmeng side-eyed him and commented, “Yeah, all of you can live until you become thousand-year old demons but I can’t.”


  Lea shook his head and said, “No, Snake is an exception because his bloodline is too special. And the lifespan of ordinary males like Elvis and I are based on our abilities and our females.”
