Elvis chuckled and gave Gu Mengmeng a deep kiss. “My Queen, I can’t control myself when you talk like that… or do you want to go back to the stone castle now?”

Gu Mengmeng gave Elvis a gentle shove. “It’s only the afternoon now. I want to stay here and have dinner with Sandy.”

“What about me?” Elvis looked very aggrieved.

Gu Mengmeng replied, “Of course you will also stay on and eat together with us. Auretin and Collin have already gone hunting. With their strong hunting capabilities, do you need to worry about not having enough meat to eat?”

“But I feel like eating you more.” Elvis nuzzled intimately against Gu Mengmeng’s neck again.

Gu Mengmeng blushed. “Tsk, Sandy is here.”

“Ha, she was the one who helped us bring up Hede and his brothers. Do you think she doesn’t know we have had relations? Mmm?”

Gu Mengmeng’s blush deepened. Knowing was one thing, but seeing it was another?

It was just like those three leopard cubs playing nearby. Mum and Dad were both standing in front of Gu Mengmeng, but she did not wish to witness the process which gave rise to those cubs.

That would be so awkward!

“Spout more nonsense and I won’t let you stay for dinner. Go home and eat by yourself.”

Elvis knew that Gu Mengmeng would really get angry if he continued to tease her. Since he had already seen her getting bashful over him, he tactfully stood down. Pinching Gu Mengmeng’s little nose, he said, “Alright, I won’t say anything more. Don’t struggle and just obediently sit in my lap. The ground is cold.”

Seeing that Elvis had stopped teasing her, Gu Mengmeng also compromised and stopped struggling.

After all, she loved being in Elvis’ embrace. Leaning against him just felt so comforting and secure.

Perhaps she had gotten used to him carrying her wherever she went. Earlier, she had felt rather lost and uneasy when she was sitting on that rock without him.

Now that his bodily warmth was once again surrounding her, she just felt very snug and cosy.

Sandy covered a smile. More than anyone else, she hoped to see Gu Mengmeng, Elvis and Lea love each other harmoniously. As long as Gu Mengmeng was blissful, she felt happy herself.

Tugging at Gu Mengmeng’s little hand, she said, “Gu Mengmeng, I have something to discuss with you.”

Gu Mengmeng glanced at her sideways. “What is it? What’s so serious that you even need to use such a formal word as ‘discuss’?

Generally, Sandy would just directly say “Gu Mengmeng, I wish to blah blah blah…”. Even when she first decided to stay in Sauder and not return to Saint Nazaire with her—she had not used the word “discuss”.

Sandy looked at Elvis and then at Bode, who had just brought over a cup of water for her. “I wish to choose a few partners from the wolf race.”

Gu Mengmeng was shocked. She instinctively glanced at Bode.

Bode twisted his lips but kept silent.

Gu Mengmeng gave an awkward laugh. “This matter… shouldn’t you be discussing this with your own males? Why are you discussing it with me…”

Sandy lowered her head with a faint smile. “You are still the same. You know so many things that others would never understand, but remain ignorant of the customs in the Beast World.”

Gu Mengmeng tilted her head in puzzlement. Sandy exhaled before continuing. “In the Beast World, females do not need the permission of their males to choose new partners. Females will despise and even abandon males who try to interfere and stop them from taking on new partners.”

“Ah…” An “I remember” expression flashed past Gu Mengmeng’s face. She did know of this fact. It was just that no matter how long she had been here, she was still not used to such a view on love and marriage.
