“So when I was at Zacharias, I took the initiative to ask to stay and battle Leonard…… A first-level beast challenging a fourth-level beast was practically seeking its own death. I thought that I was bound to die, but you used the Soul of the Forest to save me.” Chixuan looked up at Gu Mengmeng, his eyes filled with respect and dependence. He, who usually did not express much emotions, looked very emotional at that point in time. Using his handsome face to rub against Gu Mengmeng’s elbows, he said, “Mother, the love you give is really noble. You seemed to not have any limits when it comes to me. You would not even bat an eyelid when you use a precious item on me. To protect me, you could endure any hardship…… But I was still making you angry, upset and saying insensible words.”


  Gu Mengmeng rubbed Chixuan’s little head and said, “No, you are only like this because you were controlled by Cole’s bewitching spell. You are not a bad child.”


  “Now that things had come to this stage, you are still trying to explain for me…… Mother, you must be the most gentle mother in the world.” Chixuan kneeled by Gu Mengmeng’s leg and placed his head on her lap, as he continued, “Cole realized that your love for me is boundless, so it is impossible for him to force you to kill me, hence he delivered Miranda here.”


  Gu Mengmeng raised her brows and looked at Chixuan. Chixuan laughed. “He knows that you dote on Lea daddy, so he deliberately sent Miranda to create a rift between both of you. He hopes that Lea daddy and Miranda would treat each other kindly, then you would kill them. As such, he can prove that you and him are the same kind of person and all betrayers should die…… Then it should be…… you cannot wait until someone betrays you before killing him. In order to not be the one betrayed, you have to kill all people who may betray you first. It seems to be the words of the previous messenger of the beast deity, something about ‘rather disappointing’.”


  Gu Mengmeng thought for a while and said, “I’d rather disappoint others than let others disappoint me.”


  Chixuan nodded and replied, “Yeah, it should be this sentence.”


  Gu Mengmeng scoffed. “Cole is intending to learn from Cao Cao? Right, Caocao died quite exceptionally, so it might suit him after all.”


  Chixuan did not bug Gu Mengmeng about Caocao and only remembered what she said. After dealing with Cole, he would like to invite Gu Mengmeng to Zacharias for winter, then he can slowly listen to her tell them about these stories.

  “But Cole did not expect that Lea daddy could resist such great temptation and not touch Miranda. And you did not kill Miranda and only sold her away.” Chixuan heaved a sigh of relief and continued, “According to Cole’s personality of not giving up until he has achieved his goal, there would be another time after he failed this time, and his schemes would be even more revolting and vicious each time. I am worried that once you fall prey to any of his schemes, it would be difficult for you to get rid of it. So I plotted this scheme to change the way he regards you.”


  Gu Mengmeng looked at Chixuan helplessly and said, “Did you think that once he falls in love with me, he would never plot against me and never harm me? But foolish son, do you think that kind of person like Cole knows what is love?”


  Chixuan shook his head and said, “He is not worthy of loving you.”


  Lea nodded, thinking the same way. After Chixuan spoke so much, this sentence was the most pleasing to hear.

  Chixuan sat up straight and looked at Gu Mengmeng with a smile, saying, “Mother, you taught me a sentence from the military treatise ‘If you want to exterminate, you have to drive them crazy first’, did you forget?”
