Before Gu Mengmeng had the chance to retort, Natalie laughed. “If you like, just choose one and take him back with you. He can bee your partner the moment he es of age.”
The corners of Gu Mengmeng’s lips twitched as she gave a couple of dry laughs. “Are you sure they will survive till maturity if I bring them back with me?”
Natalie was taken aback. She didn’t understand what Gu Mengmeng meant.
Elvis said with a black face, “Only those who are able to survive under me are good enough to be Xiao Meng’s partners.”
Natalie felt dismay at Elvis’s words. Not for her own babies but for Elvis.
She was afraid that Elvis’ obvious jealousy and act of preventing his female from taking on new partners would turn Gu Mengmeng off. Hence the moment Elvis spoke those words, Natalie immediately glanced at Gu Mengmeng. She wanted to say something pleading on Elvis’ behalf, but her words died in her throat as she saw Gu Mengmeng’s smiling face.
Gu Mengmeng held Elvis’ face as she kissed him. “My hubby looks so handsome when he is jealous…”
Elvis’ icy expression cracked. With warmth and tenderness, he tapped Gu Mengmeng’s little nose. “I am also very handsome at other times, so you better not attract more romantic rivals.”
“I can’t promise you that…”Gu Mengmeng put on a smug face. “I am a natural beauty and exude elegance wherever I go. Others want to latch onto me the moment they lay eyes on me. I can’t help it…”
Looking at her placent manner, Elvis felt exasperated but also found it very adorable.
Pinching her little face, he said, “It doesn’t matter. Any one who tries to latch on—Lea and I will crush them one by one. None will be left alive.”
“Eee, hubby you are so violent, so bloodthirsty, so cruel. But I love it…”
Elvis held her by the back of her head and kissed her brow. “Didn’t you say you have some official matter to discuss with them? If you are not going to talk about it, let’s go back. Lea must be anxiously waiting for us now.”
“Yes, yes yes. I want to talk about it.” At Elvis’ reminder, Gu Mengmeng finally snapped out of her shock from seeing those brother-in-laws who were even younger than her own sons. She looked at Peter. “I want to go retrieve something from Zacharias, and wish to temporarily house my sons here. Can you help me take care of them?”
Peter kept silent but Natalie nodded with a smile. “No problem. I will look after them. I will fight any one who dares to harm even a single strand of their hair.”
With such a proclamation by Natalie, Peter had no other way out.
Regardless, he couldn’t let Natalie go fight anyone right? He would have no choice but to protect them.
Gu Mengmeng grinned at Natalie. “Thank you.”
Natalie nodded eagerly at Gu Mengmeng before turning to face Peter. “I heard you mention the Zacharias tribe before. Are you familiar?”
Peter nodded. “They share the borders with my territory and we often get into fights with them. Their leader Leonard is a tough one. He is only fourth-level but a very challenging opponent. That’s why over all these years, I try not to provoke them. It’s not that we cannot defeat them but the consequences are not worth it.”
Peter looked at Gu Mengmeng and then at Natalie. He sighed. “I know why you want to go to Zacharias. I will go with you.”
Gu Mengmeng “…?!”
Peter said, “You saved Natalie so I owe you one. I have to return the favor and it’s better that I do it sooner than later.”
Gu Mengmeng wanted to say no need. Although there were not that many fifth-level beasts in the Beast World, her team had more than its fair share.
