Gregory wanted to be like Elvis and Lea and kiss her before he left, but he knew that, as a guardian beast, he did not have this right.
It was already a reward for him to be able to hug her like this while using the excuse of low temperature.
After they returned to land, or if any of her partner was here, it would not even be his turn as a guardian beast to hug her.
There were only four more days left for them to spend alone together, yet he had to spend some spend settling these menial tasks.
He was displeased, yet also without a choice.
He hugged her tightly, then said with his deep voice, “Wait for me to be back.”
“Yeah.” Gu Mengmeng instinctively responded and felt hilarious after replying.
She did not know how high this place was but probably even if she jumped down that day, she would not land the next day.
If she did not want to die, she had no other choice but to wait for him to be back.
Gregory wanted to settle matters quickly, so he used the beast skin to wrap Gu Mengmeng tightly, hugged her, and left decisively.
Seeing Gregory opening up his wings and leaving, Gu Mengmeng smacked her lips. It was without a doubt that he was really handsome!
It took Gregory half a day after he left.
Gu Mengmeng did not feel this way when he was around but when she was suddenly alone, she felt not used.
As though ever since she transmigrated to the Beast World, she rarely had been alone like this.
Previously in Saint Nazaire, there was a period of time when Elvis and Lea were both very busy so she stayed at home, but Lea had also arranged Mandy to keep her pany and chat with her. Moreover, she was on land at that time and even if she had no one to keep her pany, she had other things to do, but here…
Gu Mengmeng looked at the surroundings. Even though the cave was spacious and had everything necessary, it seemed especially empty and lonely when she was alone inside.
When Gregory was with her, she only thought that the snow looked scenic outside, but when she watched it alone, why was it that it seemed so cold?
Gu Mengmeng wrapped herself in the beast skin and sat at the entrance. She could not help but think, in the past tenyears, had Gregory been sitting here alone while watching this white snow and boundless world? Besides the neverending whiteness, what other things were there in his life?
Suddenly, she felt pity for him and laughed softly, seems like it wasn’t something bad keeping Gregory as her family member. After all, if she did not want him, he could only return to Motou Mountains and continue to look at this land of emptiness and whiteness for his entire life.
Shrill —!
A long shrill, followed by the sound of the wind could be heard.
Gu Mengmeng recognised that as Gregory’s original form. Before she could smile and say ‘you’re back’, her entire body was surrounded by a cold air. Her chest was wrapped by a warm body and with a series of dizzy spins and turns, the both of them rolled into the cave.
While they were rolling, Gregory also transformed back into human and his sharp eyes were almost bleeding while he looked at her. His lips were tightened to form a straight line and he did not say anything, yet his face was filled with grudge.
This expression…
Seemed familiar.
Gu Mengmeng was stunned and immediately understood that Gregory had thought that she was jumping off the cliff when she was sitting at the entrance.
Previously when she entered the water to touch the lotus roots, Elvis also had the same face.
“I was sitting there to wait for you, not to jump off the cliff.” Gu Mengmeng looked straight into Gregory’s eyes and said first.
Gregory was stunned for a moment, then his expression slowly relaxed. His brows were still tightly furrowed, but the coldness in his eyes were almost gone. He asked carefully, “Really?”
