Apart from experience, opportunity was also very important for males to get promoted.

  Two parties could work just as hard in battle, with one easily promoted while the other just unable to level up at all.

  And Bode just happened to belong to the latter category.

  He had hoped to get promoted since even before meeting Gu Mengmeng, so that he could protect Sandy from Nina. But although he had fought hard in countless battles, he had only risen from a first-level to a second-level beast.

  Gu Mengmeng sighed. “I know someone who might be able to raise your battle prowess. But the method is cruel and the process painful. You……”


  “I will go.” Bode agreed without any hesitation. His gaze landed on Sandy’s worried face. Bode smiled as he got down on one knee before her. He cupped her face gently. “You have Collin and the rest to protect you, you will be fine. No matter how hard it is, I will quickly get promoted and make you proud. I will not let others say that your first partner is a useless bum. Be a good girl, alright?”


  Sandy knew that Bode always felt very upset whenever someone bullied her over his low level. She knew that Bode was already trying his best, while she herself did not think a second-level beast was anything to be ashamed of. But Bode was a male and he had a certain level of dignity and pride to uphold.

  Sandy couldn’t speak and could only hold onto Bode’s hand, staring deeply into his eyes.

  Bode had been partners with Sandy for so many years that he could understand her just by the look in her eyes. Hence, he kissed her face and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t let Joseph and his brothers become fatherless. I will come back as soon as possible.”


  Sandy finally nodded. But her gaze lingered on.

  Bode looked at Great Messenger. “Great Messenger, please tell me where should I go to find this person?”


  Gu Mengmeng replied, “Zacharias, Peter.”


  Location and name. There was no need to say anything more.

  Bode gave Sandy a tight hug and a deep kiss on her forehead. He left without looking back.

  Gu Mengmeng hugged Sandy. “Don’t worry. Chixuan and Kanwu are there. Things will be fine.”


  Sandy smiled at Gu Mengmeng. She knew Gu Mengmeng was doing this for her own good, and this was also the best way forward for Bode.

  Collin would never threaten Bode but that didn’t mean Hodgson and rest wouldn’t. Wolf beasts were savage by nature, and if you couldn’t suppress them with your own powers, it would be very difficult to get them to follow you. Especially since Hodgson and the rest had partnered Sandy to gain an advantage for their own tribe. It was inevitable that thoughts of killing and replacing Bode would arise in them. That was why Bode had to become stronger.

  After scolding Collin and making arrangements for Bode, Gu Mengmeng turned her attention towards Hodgson and Jerry. The two of them had yet to recover from their shock of seeing Collin and Bode reprimanded. They accidentally met Gu Mengmeng’s eyes and were so startled that they instinctively ducked down to avoid her gaze.

  The first to look away in a staring match with wild beasts would always be the loser.

  Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “I had actually come today to congratulate the partnering between you all and Sandy. But seeing how terribly my Sandy has been tormented, I really feel very upset.”


  “Queen, we were in the wrong.” Hodgson and Jerry tactfully lowered their heads as they admitted their mistake. “We should have considered Sandy’s physical condition and not have been consumed by our desire. It was also our first time…… we really don’t have any experience and went too far. We feel very guilty for hurting Sandy. We are willing to be punished by you in any way you deem fit.”
