Chapter 737: You Just Want To Protect Him, Right?

Gu Mengmeng stood up and shielded Fei Rui . She crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Elvis and Lea . Somehow, this felt just like a case of schoolyard bullying . Anyone with the slightest sense of righteousness would not stand by and let it happen .

“The two of you are a fifth-level and a third-level beast . How could you bully a second-level beast? Fei Rui is a mermaid and his combat prowess on land would not even be as high as a first-level beast . What kind of satisfaction would you two get even if you won?”

Not only did Gu Mengmeng’s defense of Fei Rui fail to save him, it made Elvis’ and Lea’s faces grow even darker .

Elvis’ huge hand rested on Lea’s shoulder and pulled him back behind him . He then straightened himself and stood before Gu Mengmeng with a grim look . “You like him?”

Gu Mengmeng sighed . “Fei Rui is just a child . ”

Elvis pulled Gu Mengmeng into his embrace with one arm and then pointed at Fei Rui . “A second-level beast is already an adult . Not a child . ”

Here we go again…

In Elvis’ eyes, every male in the world wished to get it on with Gu Mengmeng .

Gu Mengmeng said in frustration, “He sought me out to present the treasure, just so he can save his sister as the reward . ”

Elvis’ face was still black . “Yeah, and the way to save his sister is to be your partner . ”

Gu Mengmeng felt somewhat exasperated . “He has lived his whole life in the ocean and has never seen the world . He doesn’t know that there are many ways to save a person . If his goal is just to save his sister, we can suggest other methods to him, right?”

Elvis remained stubborn . “But he had already asked to become your partner . So either Lea or I must step up to the challenge . ”

Gu Mengmeng held her cheek feeling extremely frustrated . She looked at Fei Rui’s confused and guarded expression . She felt just like Cinderella’s evil stepmother, while Elvis and Lea… erm… were probably Cinderella’s two elder stepsisters .

Gu Mengmeng stared helplessly at the icy-cold Elvis and Lea . “We must still test the goods first, right? What if he can’t give us the Kiss of the Ocean? Then we don’t have to talk about a reward anymore, right?”

Elvis kept quiet but his heavy breathing indicated that he was angry . Very, very angry .

Lea waved his tail and rested one arm on Elvis’ shoulder . He looked accusingly at Gu Mengmeng . “You just want to protect him, right?”

Gu Mengmeng did not know how to respond to Lea’s words and stammered . “Look, Fei Rui has traveled a long way from home to deliver this news . We can’t bully him just because he is not from around here, right? That would be so unfriendly, wouldn’t it be?”

Lea picked up Gu Mengmeng’s hand and gently placed it on his own face . He continued in his accusing tone . “But he nearly destroyed my face . You won’t like me anymore if my face was ruined by a scar . I cannot take this lying down . Why are you not standing up for me?”

Gu Mengmeng’s mind stalled for a few seconds . She felt like she had walked into the wrong play .

Such a… presumptuous question . Was this still the carefree Beast World? Or was she now in “Empresses in the Palace” or “War and Beauty”?

Gu Mengmeng fell into a long daze as she looked at Lea’s “feeble and long-suffering” expression . She finally replied, “So you were the one who attacked Fei Rui and used a rock to seal up that well?”

Lea took a step back and stared at Gu Mengmeng as if she was being completely heartless . He replied with teary eyes . “You don’t care about my face, you are just concerned for him… sob sob sob . Mengmeng, did you have a change of heart?”
