Chapter 928: Free Labor, It Would Be A Waste Not To Use It.
Gu Mengmeng tugged at Jialue’s hand. “Jialue, he is not…”
Jialue smiled slyly. “I know.”
Gu Mengmeng said, “You know?”
Jialue nodded. “I could tell from the way he looked at you. Daddy Lea will never look at you with such a wily expression.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and pinched Jialue’s tiny nose. “Then you still asked him to go heat up the water?”
Jialue shrugged. “Free labor, it would be a waste not to use it.”
With that, he pulled Gu Mengmeng into the house. “Go in first. If you really fall sick, we will be worried again.”
Gu Mengmeng was led into the house by Jialue and Kanwu.
Hede followed quietly behind. He turned to look at Chixuan, who had gone over to help Cole.
Chixuan looked like a 17-18 year old teenager while he still looked like a 6-7 year old kid. But he knew that was his little brother… a little brother who was very close to the enemy.
Elvis’ water boiled with ginger slices made a reappearance. Gu Mengmeng had to drink two big bowls before Elvis was satisfied.
Although Jialue had asked Cole to go heat up the water for Gu Mengmeng’s bath, the one who carried out the actual chore was Chixuan.
Gu Mengmeng enjoyed being taken care of by her sons. It felt much better than the bathwater Cole had heated up for her.
The second level was Gu Mengmeng’s limit. She would never allow Cole to step onto the second floor.
And Cole didn’t insist. He just sat beside the bonfire in the hallway on the first level, staring ponderously at the flames.
He felt that Gu Mengmeng had become more and more interesting.
She had obviously subdued Lea and Elvis, but still behaved like a docile and harmless little rabbit by the stream, trying her pitiful best to coax those two fellows.
With her capabilities as the Beast King, she could have easily submitted those two fellows with just one smack. Instead, she had swallowed her pride and begged for mercy.
Cole had been standing by the side and recalled the entire scene clearly. Waves of intense emotion surged in his chest then.
Jealousy. An overwhelming jealousy.
He had never been so jealous of Lea before. Even when the eyes of everyone had swept past him to gaze at Lea, his jealousy then had not been so intense.
Ha, the gaze of the entire Beast World could not compare to her gentle eyes.
He did want her.
He felt extremely happy just at the thought of how those eyes would one day be fixed upon him without moving.
That night, Cole didn’t stay inside the stone castle. He left after midnight.
No one cared where he went. They just noticed that he reappeared at the stone castle the next morning. And last night, a certain tribe suffered an attack by stray beasts. No one from the tribe survived and their most beautiful female died in her own cave. Her body was left in a debauched manner, while her face was twisted—not in an expression of torment, but of wanton pleasure.
Gu Mengmeng completely ignored Cole. She allowed him to share the same space as her solely for Chixuan’s sake.
The three young ones were traumatized by yesterday’s incident. Hence, after Gu Mengmeng’s return last night, they told Burke that they would not be visiting him these few days. They wanted to spend some quality time with their mother.
Burke naturally didn’t object. He left after being assured that Gu Mengmeng was safe and sound.
After breakfast, Gu Mengmeng said she wanted to go visit Sandy. So Elvis and Lea brought her and the three little ones over.
