  “You are my husband, you are not disgusting at all.”


  Gu Mengmeng pounced into Lea’s arms. Lea transformed into human form and hugged Mengmeng, as he looked at her uneasily with his wide and narrow eyes.

  “Will you…… abandon me?”


  “No.” Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea and solemnly made a promise. “I know that I usually do not keep my words, so Elvis and you always call me a little liar, but I will not deceive you about this. I, Gu Mengmeng, only have lifetime husbands, not ex-husbands!”


  “Mengmeng,” Lea hesitated for a while, but still hugged her tightly and said, “I know that I am selfish. Even though I have such dirty blood coursing through my body, I still do not want to let you off…… I can do anything, really. Being a beast pet is also alright, or a guardian beast, even as your food is fine…… I just beg you to not abandon me…… I am not afraid of pain and death, but I am scared of losing you……”


  “You won’t lose me, I will always be by your side.” Gu Mengmeng placed her face on Lea’s chest and said softly, “People cannot choose our birth. We cannot choose our parents, our relatives. This is our original sin, but you cannot be blamed. After all, you also don’t have the power to reject it. But those people who have sinned are not you. You did not imprison Miranda, and did not force her to mate, more so than ever, you did not eat her children like a madman. The person who did all these is not you, why do you have to blame yourself?”


  Lea shook his head and said, “I am not blaming myself, I am ashamed…… You are like a sun glowing everywhere, and I…… only am more and more unsightly.”


  “Lea, do you remember that I told you that you are my first love?” Gu Mengmeng’s words were like the gentle breeze, making people charmed.

  Lea nodded and said, “I remember. You said that first love is the most unforgettable and beautiful feeling. We are both each other’s first love.”


  Lea did not mean anything much when he said this, but it had a different meaning to Elvis, who was sitting at the side quietly and listening.

  His heart sank a little as the two words ‘first love’ seemed to be a heavy rock weighing down on him.

  When he accompanied Gu Mengmeng to meet the Beast Deity previously, he saw Snake from the other world. He seemed to have…… become Xiao Meng’s first love in that world.

  This world has Lea and that world has Snake, yet only him, the first partner, could never be her first love.

  Gu Mengmeng’s attention was all on Lea so she had not noticed Elvis’ emotions. She only leaned in Lea’s arms and said gently, “In my world, there is a saying: a man may have two women in their life, at least two. After marrying the Red Rose, as time passed, the red would become like the mosquito’s blood on the wall, whereas the white is still ‘the bright moonlight by the bed’; after marrying the White Rose, the white would become the sticky rice stains on the clothes, whereas the red would become a red mark on the chest.”


  “And I am very lucky to have both of them. You are my moonlight by the bed and Elvis is the red mark on my chest. No matter what others may say, I am very certain of the kind of person the person I love is.” When Gu Mengmeng finished saying her piece, she looked up to smile at Lea and continued, “So my moonlight, stop saying those self-deprecating words. In my eyes, you are shining brightly as well. As for me…… besides being rash and creating trouble, I have nothing else. If you talk about despising, it should be Elvis and you despising me……”
