Recalling up to this point, Lea held his forehead, obviously still thinking that she was a huge trouble.

He sighed and continued, “I trusted Cole too much at that time so I did not doubt him. Now that I think about it, how did I not form the link? Miranda must have known about this through Cole. If I am not wrong… Cole had already been plotting something at that time, a scheme to drag me down from the position of the son who was favored by the deity. Ha, I still thought that I was smart at that time, but I had actually turned to the hidden mastermind for help. Cole must have been really proud of himself at that time, god knows how he had been laughing at my stupidity in his heart.”

“I suffered because of my stupidity, and ended up with the offence of seducing the beast Father’s concubine, becoming despised and banished. No one believed that I was not guilty, after all… I was caught red-handed on the bed.”

Gu Mengmeng frowned and said, “I don’t understand. Since Miranda was so faithful towards you, how did she become your father’s concubine? And… your father has a partner, how would he and Miranda… that…”

Lea’s gaze turned to Gu Mengmeng’s face and he said, “This is the reason I am afraid that you would abandon me.”

Gu Mengmeng did not understand and looked at him silently, waiting for him to explain himself.

“The females in the Beast World would not mate with males other than their partners, but… the Snow fox clan is an exception.” Lea laughed sarcastically and his voice was emotionless when he said, “The messengers tribe seemed so noble and mysterious in the eyes of outsiders, but who would expect that they did not allow other clans to join them because they wanted to hide this dirty secret. Every few years the females in the Snow fox clan would undergo a mass estrus and the underground passage of Sauder was to serve this purpose.”

“What purpose?” Gu Mengmeng was very curious.

“Once the females of the Snow fox clan go through estrus, the fox seductive fragrance would reach everywhere. To prevent this fragrance from leaking out, all the females would enter the underground passageway… for an entire month, without any control, mate like a beast. Even though the males had a certain level of resistance against this fragrance, the high intensity fragrance in the enclosed area coupled with the seduction from the females made it only such that the males would refrain from touching their own Mother Beast and daughter. Other than that, they would mate uncontrollably…”

Gu Mengmeng felt her hair stand and throat dry when she heard this.

Lea reached out his hand and tapped Gu Mengmeng’s forehead, saying, “Everytime during this period, I would run away from Sauder and hide in the deep forest to maintain my virginity for you.”

Gu Mengmeng stroked Lea’s ears and praised, “Yeah, you did good.”

Lea laughed softly and said, “Miranda became involved with my beast Father during this mass estrus. I did not know about the exact details, but after that, my beast Father was deeply attracted to her. Miranda wanted to stop my beast Father’s pester after that, but she was captured by him. I heard that she was howling every night during that period of time, calling my name and hoping that I would rescue her… She may be pitiful, but it was good news to me. My father locked her up and she could never pester me anymore. I enjoyed my peace, how would I care about her life or death?”

Gu Mengmeng frowned and her gaze at Lea became strange.

Lea sighed and said, “Do you think that I am a bastard for ignoring the plight that Miranda was in?”
