Cole was not frustrated and nodded his head nonchalantly, saying, “True, beast pets should behave like beast pets. It’s great that you are making use of your seductive tricks to serve Ah Gu and keep her happy every day, because once she is sick of you one day, I will torture and kill you without any hesitation…… So, it’s wise for you to work hard and keep Ah Gu satisfied.”


  Lea scoffed and glanced sideways at Cole, saying, “What identity are you using to speak to me like this? You couldn’t have thought of yourself as Mengmeng’s first partner, right? Let me remind you, my Mengmeng…… the trash that she hates the most is you.”


  Cole, “Say whatever you want. Anyway, Ah Gu likes you now, so I won’t kill you. If you want to pretend to put up a strong front, it’s fine by me. I have heard of even worse insults than these…… Just this amount would not agitate me at all.”


  Lea wagged his tail and casually sat by the fire to warm his hands. If Mengmeng finished her bath and he had to carry her, his hands cannot be cold.

  He looked at Cole from the corner of his eyes and said, “Flesh growing back on bones, your hands can grow back after being broken…… you must have taken the Soul of the Forest from Chixuan, right?”


  “That’s right.” Cole did not deny it.

  Lea shook his head helplessly and said, “You knew that Mengmeng hates it the most when you do anything to Chixuan, yet you had to do it. Ha, you’d better pray for yourself. I’m afraid that before Mengmeng gets sick of me, you would be murdered by her first.”


  As they were speaking, there was the sound of the door opening upstairs. Lea thought that it was Gu Mengmeng coming out after her bath and looked up, but he started to frown.

  The person was not Gu Mengmeng. Instead, Miranda was walking our from the room closest to the left on the second level corridor.

  Miranda had been walking along the wall and seemed extremely uneasy. Her pupils were shaking continuously and seemed to be out of focus. It was unclear whether she was mentally afraid or fragile physically. Her body was swaying from side to side, as though she would fall if she had not gained support from holding the wall, as she made her way towards Lea.

  “Ah Ya…… You are back…… I have been waiting for you all along…… all along waiting for you……”


  Lea’s brows furrowed. Instead of looking at Miranda, he looked at Cole and said, “Unless the bait was Mengmeng, beauty traps do not work on me. Moreover, Mengmeng has already known this trick, why did you not give up on it?”


  Cole shook his head and clicked his tongue, saying, “My Ninth brother, you have misunderstood me. This…… is not any plot. This…… is my gift for you.”


  Lea looked at Cole, as though he was about to laugh, but did not speak.

  Cole continued explaining, “Don’t you want to rise up to fifth-level and activate the blood of a Beast King? Are you willing to be oppressed by that wolf your entire life?”


  Lea scoffed, “Don’t tell me Miranda is some holy creature for nourishment? After eating her, I will be able to rise a level?”


  Cole frowned and said with a perverted face, “Ninth brother really does not know to care for a female…… Eating her won’t allow you to rise a level, but sleeping with her…… can.”


  Lea stepped back, disgusted, and even the smile on his face could not cover up the despise he felt. He replied, “Then I have to disappoint the Fox King’s kind intentions. Besides Mengmeng…… I cannot become excited by other females.”


  Cole, “Don’t reject it so quickly. Have you never thought of why your father would become so insistent on having her? Without caring about the fact that she was going to become your partner?”
