Lea came out after tending to Auretin’s wounds.

  He had heard everything from the conversation that Wales and Gu Mengmeng had outside just now, so he did not say anything. He helped Gu Mengmeng to transport Elvis to a shady place, then said, “Don’t worry, it will be fine. Elvis would wake up soon and both of us can accompany you to settle scores with Cole and to seek justice for Auretin, alright?”


  Gu Mengmeng nodded, while her face looked weary.

  Lea rubbed her little head and said, “Since Wabei is Wales, and he is in his original form now, we can only accept it as his friends, isn’t it? Moreover, it’s most important that he is safe.”


  Gu Mengmeng placed her head on Lea’s chest and said, “I know, I understand all this logic…… but I really feel uncomfortable seeing little shit become like this, it was as though I have already lost him.”


  Lea laughed softly and tapped her little nose, saying, “You are really lost as an involved party.”


  “Huh?” Gu Mengmeng was confused.

  Lea continued, “What did he say just now? You are the key to his revival, so he had to guard you to ensure your safety? These words…… even if he had used them to deceive Jialue or Chixuan those two little wolf brats, they won’t believe it.”


  Gu Mengmeng had a blank look. Deep down, her hopes were rising and she gazed upon Lea silently, awaiting him to continue.

  Lea continued with his explanation, “If he did not appear, there would be three Beast Kings in this Beast World – you, Elvis and Cole. If the three of you were to really risk your life to battle one another, with all your similar levels of capabilities, there would not be a conclusive winner. But Elvis would protect you no matter what, so Cole would not be a match for both of you, especially since you have wings now and could fly to the sky. It would practically be a foolish dream for Cole to think of harming you, so even if Wales had not guarded you, you would still be able to live safely. But he still returned, with the only reason being that he was worried about you. If he only has Wabei’s memories and not his feelings, why would he do this?”


  Gu Mengmeng, “But just now he……”


  “Don’t forget, he is Wang Xiaoxin’s partner. He had been beside Wang Xiaoxin for so many years so he would not have any lesser knowledge about psychology compared to you.” Lea laughed and continued, “Moreover, even if what he said was true – that he had returned to only help you get the seven treasures, then wouldn’t it be better for him to not show up? After all, it would be the most advantageous situation for him to be hiding from the enemies so that he could take them by surprise and use the common tactic of all snakes, to deal with a deadly blow. But he had appeared so openly. Say, why do you think he did so?”


  The smile on Gu Mengmeng’s face started to spread even wider and even her eyes started to dazzle with her smile. “He was afraid that I was worried about little shit, so he came back to tell me that he was safe and there was no need to worry.”


  Lea nodded and said, “He sounded like he was cold and heartless, but didn’t he bring Auretin back? Snakes are born emotionless and never the species to concern themselves with unnecessary affairs. If not because of you, he would probably not even take a look at Auretin.”


  At this thought, Gu Mengmeng suddenly laughed out.

  “I understand now, he was just being difficult.” Gu Mengmeng laughed and shook her head, saying, “The almighty Wales, Wang Xiaoxin’s partner, a Beast King with demigod level, yet he was called little shit by a junior like me every day. He was stuck in an embarrassing situation so he could only be arrogant. Heh heh, seems like he is really quite alike to little shit.”
