“You said Chixuan sent word for you two to hide?” Gu Mengmeng asked as she sat down in the meeting room.

  Hede nodded. “Mmm, he also asked us to pretend to have been attacked by stray beasts, and to only come out when mother is back.”


  Gu Mengmeng completely failed to understand Chixuan’s line ot thinking. She turned to look at Jialue. “So you two just complied without asking any questions?”


  Jialue nodded. “He is our brother, so we will hide if he asks us to. I don’t think Second Brother will just play a prank for no good reason. The fact that he didn’t explain shows that it’s just not the right time for us to know the details now. So we just did as we were told. He will definitely explain things to us the next time we meet. Of course, if he was really pranking us for fun…… hahaha……”


  His laughter meant that he would prank him back tenfold.

  Jialue looked as innocent as an angel, but of the four little ones, his heart was the most vicious.

  Gu Mengmeng tilted her head to look at Lea. “Do you know what Chixuan is up to?”


  Lea chuckled and tapped Gu Mengmeng’s nose. “If you wish to know, let’s go over to Zacharias to ask him?”


  “Huh? Don’t do that.” Jialue clutched at Gu Mengmeng’s arm pleadingly. “Mother, how long has it been since we last saw you? You have just returned and want to leave already? Zacharias has no well and it will be the dry season soon. You will suffer if you go over…… so stay in Sauder over the drought season before leaving.”


  Hede was silent but he also missed Gu Mengmeng a lot. Hence, he entreated. “That’s right. Mother-in-law often talks about you. Since you are here, shouldn’t you go visit her? Joseph and his brothers have all been growing very well. They are so cute now. They are your godsons and will forget all about you if you don’t visit them soon.”


  Speaking of Joseph……

  Gu Mengmeng felt a chill.

  Damn, she felt a spine-chilling coldness every time she recalled how Sandy had wanted to give her that cub to raise as her future husband.

  Doing such a despicable thing to a swaddling infant……

  Damn Sandy, I treat you as my bosom friend but you take me for a pervert!

  Sigh……

  Sighing, Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Anyway, you father has just become a Beast King and there should be many wolf beasts joining our tribe during this period. The two of you should take advantage of this dry season to settle this matter. Get your father’s help if you need support in any area.”


  Elvis drew Gu Mengmeng back from Hede’s and Jialue’s midst. He embraced her and played with her hair. “Ha, I am the leader of Saint Nazaire, but this is Sauder. Hede is the leader here. Why should I help him settle his affairs? Mmm?”


  “He is your son,” Gu Mengmeng replied as a matter-of-fact.

  Elvis chuckled. “If a father has to do everything for his son…… then ask him to go find Peter. Peter is my father.”


  Exasperated, Gu Mengmeng poked Elvis. “You are the Beast King. With great power comes great responsibility, understand? A capable man has to do more. Just help out your son for a bit!”


  Elvis just laughed. “It’s not that I can’t help them, but…… how do you intend to thank me? Mmm?”


  “Thank…… thank you with what?” Gu Mengmeng saw the words “you should know” written clearly across Elvis’ eyes. She blushed. Damn, she instantly realized what he was hinting at.

  Elvis blew gently into Gu Mengmeng’s ear. “I am a rightful Beast King but needs to clean up after my son’s messy affairs…… it’s such a humiliating chore. Shouldn’t I be rewarded if I have to stoop so low just to make you happy? My Queen.”
