Gu Mengmeng let Wabei hold her like a willful child hugging a toy that he had lost and then found. This type of embrace had none of the amorous vibes between a man and a woman. It was a panic arising from the loss of a friend, or even family member.

  “Little shit, I am grateful that you were afraid of losing me. I am also grateful that you are able to come back…… but, my waist is nearly breaking. Can you hug me more gently, for heaven’s sake?!”


  Not only did Wabei not loosen his grip, he hugged her even more tightly as he laughed out loud. “Gently my ass! I will become the Snake King once I strangle you to death!”


  “Get lost!” Gu Mengmeng gave Wabei such a hard smack that he couldn’t get up again after landing on the ground.

  Wabei laid sprawled on the floor, twitching. He couldn’t even lift his face.

  Gu Mengmeng felt rather sheepish. “Eh, are you having a fit?”


  Wabei shook his head. He didn’t utter a word.

  Gu Mengmeng squatted by him with some uncertainty. Worried, she reached out to prod Wabei. “Was I too heavy-handed? Eh, are you alright?”


  “Get lost, stop bothering me. Let me lie here for awhile!”


  Gu Mengmeng was stunned. Damn, he sounded like he was crying?

  Pulling Wabei’s head up by his hair, Gu Mengmeng stared at him in shock. “Aiya little shit, you are actually crying!”


  “I am not crying. Don’t malign me!” Since he had already been exposed, Wabei didn’t bother hiding his face again. He just reached out and pulled Gu Mengmeng back into his arms. “I thought I would never be able to quarrel with you again in this lifetime……”


  Warmth flooded Gu Mengmeng’s heart. She returned Wabei’s hug and patted him gently on the back.

  If he remained fearful of her forever, and had to hide whenever he saw her—of course he would never be able to quarrel with her again.

  There are some relationships which were forged from fighting. Pinching each other every time they met. The more they pinched, the better the relationship became.

  And this type of relationship was called Wabei and Gu Mengmeng.

  Wabei started feeling rather awkward after he finally calmed down. He had lived for 800 years in the Beast World and held a reputation as fearsome as Snakel’s—but he was “beaten” to tears by this female……

  Although Gu Mengmeng’s males never commented on this incident, the way Lea and Elvis looked at him was enough!

  Wabei jumped up and dashed toward Elvis. “Little wolf pup, I heard that you became a Beast King. Come spar with me to loosen my joints a little.”


  Elvis waved. The ever-present wild wolves suppressed their growls as they took two steps back, even as they maintained their attacking stance. They stared steadfastly at Wabei, vigilantly monitoring his every move.

  Elvis lifted Gu Mengmeng. “I can’t fight you now.”


  “Why?” Wabei was very displeased.

  Elvis brushed the stray hairs from Gu Mengmeng’s forehead. “Xiao Meng will be upset if I accidentally kill you. I will not do anything that will upset Xiao Meng.”


  Wabei narrowed his eyes and flashed his fangs.

  He was being dismissed by that little wolf pup, right? Right?!

  With all his might, he whipped his snake tail toward Elvis.

  Elvis easily dodged it. Without any trace of anger, he said in a mild tone, “That wooden barrel over there contains wine brewed by Xiao Meng. She will fly into a rage if you smash it.”


  Wabei’s tail came to a screeching halt right before that barrel. He turned with a cold smile. “Fight with me or I will destroy this lousy pail.”


  Elvis gave a low laugh. “I don’t really care. If you destroy it, the next time I see Snakel, I will just tell him that you have been bullying Xiao Meng.”
