  When Elvis saw Gu Mengmeng, he was taken aback for a second.

  He threw the dead wild beast to one side and evolved back into human form before walking to Gu Mengmeng. His long black hair flowed down his back, showing off the smooth and defined lines of his muscles. The light rusty smell of blood contrasted against his presence in the rain, resembling a Datura Stramonium blooming in the prison, elegant and graceful.

  “Why are you here?” Elvis frowned and pulled the beast skin slightly to cover her head completely, preventing rainwater from entering her eyes.

  “I was a little flustered because you were away for too long so I walked in to check on you.” Gu Mengmeng looked at the pile of prey behind Elvis and asked, “You’re taking too long to kill them one by one. Why don’t you just directly emit your beast pressure, won’t that make things easier?”


  Elvis wiped the rain off Gu Mengmeng’s face with a dotting smile and explained, “Emitting beast pressure will cause their gallbladder to burst and their meat will become bitter, how can we still eat them?”


  Gu Mengmeng nodded her head, not fully understanding him.

  As a human, Gu Mengmeng had zero hunting experience.

  As a snake beast, Snake……just directly swallow whatever he wanted to eat in one gulp, there was no need for him to bring his prey back.

  Elvis carried all the prey on his right shoulder and then stretched his left arm out to carry Gu Mengmeng, saying, “Let’s head back, it’s very dangerous in the forest on rainy days. If there’s thunder, it’s easier to get hurt.”


  Gu Mengmeng smiled and said, “So you placed me outside and came in alone?”


  Elvis nodded before he gently kissed Gu Mengmeng’s cheek, saying, “Let’s head back.”


  Gu Mengmeng did not resist Elvis’s kiss as she just leaned her face against his chest obediently. Then, she instructed him softly, “Put the prey down.”


  “Huh?” Elvis was confused but he still heeded her instructions.

  Gu Mengmeng cast a glance and the next moment, several little snakes swam out from behind the trees and crawled under the prey before lifting them up.

  Elvis chuckled lightly and commented, “That’s good too, at least the blood won’t taint your body.”


  Gu Mengmeng did not say anything as she just huddled deeper into Elvis’s embrace while nodding her head, allowing Elvis to carry her back.

  As they passed by the spot where Gu Mengmeng was previously sitting, Burke had already left.

  When they returned to the stone house, Lea was sitting by the entrance, looking up at the rain with worry written all over his face. When he saw Gu Mengmeng, he finally heaved a sigh of relief.

  Without saying anything else, he carried Gu Mengmeng over from Elvis and walked into the house. He removed her clothes and placed her into the stone bathtub filled with hot water.

  “Thank you.” Gu Mengmeng lied by the side of the bathtub and said while soaking herself in the hot water.

  Lea was originally squatting outside the bathtub but he leaned by the sides and placed his face right in front of Gu Mengmeng, asking her, “This rain will last for around 10 days so won’t you be bored to tears at home? Why don’t I……bring Sandy over to accompany you?”


  Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, “She always looks like she had committed a big mistake and act so compliant whenever she’s faces me. I guess, she’s probably very stressed to see me, right? Forget it, I’m alright.”


  Lea held onto Gu Mengmeng’s little hand and said, “Why don’t I push all the matters for Oakley to handle and then focus on accompanying you at home, alright?”


  Gu Mengmeng laughed lightly and asked, “I just accompanied Elvis on a hunt, why are you this tight-up?”


  Lea’s hand swept past the thick steam from the water and inched itself towards her neck by following the outline of her face. Then, he started drawing circles on her neck and said with a tint of disappointment in his gaze, “I’m scared I’ll miss the time when you need me.”
