“So what exactly does he intend to do?” Gu Mengmeng was very worried. She had an image of her three little rascals heading into Syria armed with just nail clippers. “Two second-level and one first-level beasts. Even all three of them together is not enough to defeat Cole…… why don’t we go help them?”


  Lea shook his head and patted Gu Mengmeng gently on the shoulders. He said with a smile, “If Chixuan wants our help, he would have told us the previous time he met us. But…… right before he left then, he told me he had been worried there were too many people in Sauder and not enough hunted game. So he had set aside a portion for you in Zacharias. But after seeing that you are so well-stocked, you probably have no use for it. Nevertheless, just in case, he must still let you know that you can always go to Zacharias if you lack food.”


  Gu Mengmeng blinked. “What does that mean? It just sounds like a normal exhortation?”


  Lea chuckled. “I thought so too. But now that I think of it—Elvis nearly brought back all possible prey from the forest back into the stone castle. This level of food store would be enough to provide an abundant feast for even a large family like Sandy’s for an entire winter. There are only the three of us—would there ever be a scenario where we have to go Zacharias because we lack food?”


  Gu Mengmeng glanced at the food storage room prepared by Elvis. Winter was half over and they haven’t even finished one-fifth of the food……

  She shook her head. “Probably not.”


  Lea nodded. “So Chixuan was trying to tell me that if anything happens at Sauder, you can go to Zacharias as there is a food store there for you, enough to let you survive this winter season. But what could happen that would be serious enough to make you risk traveling in this harsh weather?”


  Gu Mengmeng kept silent for a moment before her gaze landed on Miranda. “The collective mating fever of the snow foxes……”


  Lea nodded again. “But Chixuan is a wolf. How could he know of this secret? How could he have accurately predicted the time of occurrence?”


  Gu Mengmeng bit her lower lip before replying. “.……Cole?”


  Lea pinched Gu Mengmeng’s little nose. “Smart girl.”


  “Then……” What in the world are those little rascals planning to do?” Gu Mengmeng was completely befuddled.

  Lea said, “Compile all the information we have now. Cole would never mention the collective mating fever of the snow foxes to Chixuan without any good reason. So sending Miranda over was probably part of his plan. His goal…… just as he mentioned earlier, was to make use of the mating fever to make me lose control and mate with Miranda. In this way, I would have discovered that I could be promoted by mating with her. It has always been my urgent desire to become stronger so as to better protect you…… men will always seek the easy way out. The moment they discover an easy way to become stronger, they would not be able to resist the temptation. And by then…… you would scorn me for being dirty and abandon me. When that happens, Cole would be able to enjoy my pain and at the same time torment you. There might also be some other wicked motives of his that would be accomplished.”


  Gu Mengmeng gritted her teeth as she looked malevolently at Miranda. She tugged at Lea’s arm. “When Gregory returns, have him immediately bring this Miranda up to the Motou mountains. I can’t bear the sight of her anymore.”


  Lea loved seeing Gu Mengmeng get jealous over him. Hence, he nodded with a smile. “We will do everything according to your wishes.”
