Lea was startled, but Elvis had already brought the three children far away.

However, Lea could not bring himself to take a step into the cave.

Congratulations?

Gu Mengmeng almost died, but he did not manage to catch Cole.

Elvis had brought the children away and congratulated him before they left.

Gu Mengmeng was waiting for him in the cave…

Congratulations… the congratulatory subject was self-explanatory.

However, he did not dare to take that step forward.

Scared, how could he not be?

What if he thought wrong again? What if it was empty happiness? What if… Mengmeng said she did not want him again?

Now, does the title of the wisest man of the Beast World not sound like sarcasm? What could he possibly plot? He could not even protect the female that he loved.

Like a statue, Lea stood at the entrance of the cave, looking in, as if there was a great attraction that was inducing his gaze, fixing it such that it could barely move an inch.

However, it was as if his legs were rooted to the ground.

“Lea.” Gu Mengmeng greeted, standing three feet away from him.

Lea did not know why, but he had an urge to run away.

“Let’s mate.” Gu Mengmeng took a step forward, extending an arm, “I don’t want the remaining 10 years of your life. I want you to be by my side for a long time.”

Lea did not say a word, only moving forward and grabbing onto Gu Mengmeng’s wrist, thrusting her into his arms, hugging her tightly, and he just wanted to hug so tight they would become one.

Gu Mengmeng clearly heard the quiver in each breath Lea took. Every cell in his body was boiling, but words were stuck in his throat as he could not say a single word.

Gu Mengmeng returned his hug, gently sticking her face on his chest, “I did not understand how determined a male would be when he fell in love with a female. If I had known, I would not have believed the bull** of you having anything going on with Nina… In the end, I did not trust you enough in the past. However, I tortured you for so long for that reason. Sorry, I was wrong.”

Lea shook his head, and kissed Gu Mengmeng’s lips.

She was not wrong, how would she be wrong? She was his Mengmeng.

He was wrong, the one at fault for thinking everything was under his control, for taking things for granted, for not protecting her carefully, and letting go of her so easily for such weird reasons.

Torture? How was that torture?

Till the end, she had never treated him harshly, such that he never had to break down in desperation. He had brought all the pain upon himself.

While she, had grabbed tightly onto his hand kindly every single time he fell into the depths of helplessness,

What did she do wrong? Why did she have to apologize?

Lea carried Gu Mengmeng up bridal style, taking big strides into the cave.

Beast skin had been set aside beside the fire. Lea placed Gu Mengmeng down gently, flipping over and brushing his finger across Gu Mengmeng’s tiny face softly, arranging the stray hair on her face, “Mengmeng, is it really you?”

Gu Mengmeng pulled Lea’s hand, placing it on her cheeks, her pupils sparkling in the light, carrying warmth, “Who would dare to snatch my man from me, in this world?”

Lea smiled, hiding the happiness in his eyes, “No point snatching, they can’t…”

Gu Mengmeng wrapped her arms around Lea’s neck, pressing her lips and continued, “I have inherited all of Snake’s powers, so I’m a tiny poisonous human. If we mate, it might cost your life… So, I can only mate using another method, would you… mind?”

Lea kissed Gu Mengmeng’s lips deeply, replying in a husky voice, “I won’t even mind being your beast pet for life, what else would I mind?”
