Their location yesterday was an old nesting spot for a gang of stray beasts. As they had Elvis and Wabei on their side, they naturally did not fear any stray beasts.

  However, most of the stray beasts were bloodthirsty and would attack them with no regard for their own lives. They totally did not care about the vast disparity between their abilities and that of their opponent. They just hankered after a bloody massacre and the ensuing release.

  Since they already had a death wish, Gu Mengmeng naturally did not care for them.

  But she was unwilling to witness such foul killings.

  Hence, she had Lea go hunting and sent those little snakes along for protection.

  She then called Ian to her side and allowed Elvis and Wabei to battle. She thought that the fight between two fifth-level beasts would be enough to ward off those stray beasts, but they had instead become even more excited. Left with no choice, Gu Mengmeng unleashed her Beast King’s beast pressure. On the surface, it was to hold back Elvis and Wabei, but in reality, it was to frighten off those stray beasts who had been lying in ambush.

  They hankered after blood, killings and death, but their deep instinctual fear of a Beast King-level aura was enough to suppress them.

  Hence, none of them dared to attack yesterday but had quietly followed behind the group. They only fell back when the group left the territory.

  “Winning a battle without drawing blood is the best strategy,” Gu Mengmeng said casually.

  Elvis remained silent as he held Gu Mengmeng. He looked rather peaky, as he was probably still recovering from his injuries.

  No one took to heart this little diversion, but just continued their way to the ocean.

  The air turned increasingly humid as they neared the ocean, and Wabei’s spirits lifted considerably. After traveling for nearly 20 days, they finally arrived at the seaside and met up with Fei Rui.

  Gu Mengmeng turned around and kissed Elvis and Lea goodbye. “I will go with this fellow into the ocean to take a look at the situation. I will be back before dark.”


  Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng again and instructed her worriedly. “You cannot rely on your powers as the Beast King to get your way. The ocean is not a good place for you to exhibit your full powers. Protect yourself at all times and don’t leave Wabei’s side. Understand?”


  Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “Don’t worry, this guy is even more scared of seeing me injured. He will definitely keep a close eye on me. Moreover……”


  Gu Mengmeng pointed to the sky and smiled mysteriously. “I have someone up there.”


  Elvis and Lea gazed up towards the sky. They smiled. “But didn’t that old man say he cannot interfere with matters of the Beast World?”


  Gu Mengmeng shrugged. “He cannot interfere with matters of the Beast World in principle. But he didn’t say that he must stand by and do nothing if his dear daughter is in trouble. I am after all a second generation immortal. Even if it’s just a false front, I should be able to put up some show of arrogance, right? Don’t worry, that movie-loving, lonely old man up there will look after me.”


  Elvis and Lea only half-believed her, but didn’t want to probe further.

  Elvis looked at Wabei and said seriously, “Help me look after Xiao Meng. I will return this favor one day.”


  Wabei just snorted with derision. “I am not doing this for you. I am doing this for that mark behind her neck.”


  Elvis didn’t argue with Wabei but just replied with all sincerity. “Regardless, please take care of Xiao Meng.”


  Gu Mengmeng circled Elvis and Lea around their necks and kissed them again. She then entered the ocean with Fei Rui, calling out along the way. “Let’s go, little shit.”
