Gu Mengmeng did not have much exchanges with Cole. Since the past was gone with the wind, it was the best ending to forget about each other.

  She did not want Cole to recall those old memories from the Beast World. His infatuation to her was nothing but a form of burden.

  Elvis took the wooden comb, asked him about the date and location of the underground battle before leaving with Gu Mengmeng.

  On the way to the hotel, Elvis kept hugging Gu Mengmeng, only speaking after a long while, “I did not know he was the Boss behind the scenes.”


  “It doesn’t matter.” Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis and smiled, “He is not that special to me. He is the same as anyone else, so you do not have to blame yourself.”


  Indeed, Elvis felt very uneasy inside.

  He had never thought, that he would be the opportunity for Gu Mengmeng to meet Cole again.

  His grip around Gu Mengmeng’s hand tightened, “Then do you still want, this wooden comb?”


  “Yes.” Gu Mengmeng took the wooden comb from Elvis’ hand, smiling, “Isn’t there the saying that whoever had this wooden comb can attain happiness? Since you spent so much effort helping me get it, why would I not want it?”


  Elvis smiled, kissing Gu Mengmeng’s cheek, “Then I will comb your hair for you.”


  “Alright.” Gu Mengmeng sat up straight, allowing Elvis to play around with her hair.

  It was peculiar how Lea was especially talented in cooking, but Elvis’ dark cuisine had not improved even after reliving a thousand years.

  Rather, Elvis’ persistence towards Gu Mengmeng hair allowed this man, who could effortlessly break someone’s arm, to learn how to make numerous intricate hairstyles within the short span of a week.

  He had his own phone, but the only functions he knew other than taking pictures for Gu Mengmeng was to look at different hair tutorials from the App. It seemed magical, how he could look at a hairstyle and not forget it, then instantly recreating it on Gu Mengmeng’s head. He would also make tiny adjustments with her face shape and outfits, practically the Teacher Tony of the Gu Family.

  What Gu Mengmeng did not know was, his persistence towards her hair, was because he had once come across this ancient popular science post regarding “Married Couples Binding Hair On Coming Of Age”.

  It mentioned that in olden days, although it was normal for a man to have numerous wives, only the first wife can be considered the “Binding Wife”, and also mentioned that only the husband can release the hair the wife has tied, for them to be intimate, loving and stuck together like glue forever.

  If the binding wife passed earlier, then he should break the wooden comb she used into two, placing half in her coffin while the other on his body, so that no matter what happens, he can find her and never separate for eternity.

  Gregory had four partners, although Gregory was not formalized, but after everything he has done for Gregory, Elvis still considered him as part of the family.

  So, he had to gather 4 combs, so that everyone around her would have one, and accompany her for eternity.

  Unless he wanted her for himself.

  However, he could not bear for her to suffer, be incomplete, or have any tinge of regret.

  However, he did not bring up any of these to anyone.

  It was just that he had occupied Gu Mengmeng’s hair as the first partner, not allowing anyone else to touch it.

  He was the original partner, although it was just by name, but he was unwilling to share it with anyone else.

  The underground fight Cole had arranged would be carried out a week later, because everyone underground had heard about Elvis’ instantaneous killing of the Dark Fist Boss, so when they news came out about Elvis attending the fight, the whole underground battling scene was shaken. It was difficult to get a seat in the audience, so the competition did not even require promotion to become popular, hence naturally did not need to drag it out for too long.
