Chapter 1251: A Late Night Chat

Elvis clenched his fists and lowered his hand .

He…

Did not dare to ask .

He was afraid of putting Xiao Meng in a tight spot . He was afraid of Xiao Meng admitting it, but also afraid of her denying it .

He was even more afraid of Xiao Meng, as intelligent as she was seeing through him . That she would realize he had fought so hard to become a Beast King just so that he could use his own life to save hers if she met with any danger .

He did not wish to be so helpless again when her life was at risk .

But this was a purely selfish decision .

Death was easy . The one being forced to live on was the one who would be tormented .

Didn’t Snake’s death already prove this once?

Lea was right . Using his own life to save Gu Mengmeng would make him a hero, while Lea would be left behind to comfort Gu Mengmeng and endure the pain of witnessing her suffering .

Ha, he was not afraid of death, but was afraid of Gu Mengmeng’s frowns .

Lea suddenly halted and turned to look at Elvis . “You should have known that I am a fox…”

Elvis was momentarily taken aback . He didn’t really understand Lea’s meaning .

Lea just rested one arm on Elvis’ shoulder and smiled slyly . “It is my nature to be sly . What can I do? I don’t like things to progress in a way that is detrimental to me . ”

Elvis held his forehead . “Speak clearly . ”

Lea waved his tail and straightened his body . “There are two ways . One, is to do as I say . I will work hard to be promoted to the fifth-level, and then we will go seek out the Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs to activate my Beast King bloodline . And if the need ever arises, let me be the second Tear of the Beast Deity . Second, is for me to go wake up Mengmeng right now and tell her your plan . Then she will decide how to settle you . ”

Elvis was in a conundrum but pretended to be calm . “You will just end up upsetting Xiao Meng if you tell her this . Are you going to do something which will make her unhappy?”

Lea shrugged . “I am not the one doing something that will upset her . I will be an accomplice if I don’t report a crime… so, you decide . Are the two of us going to cooperate and keep this thing from her, or will I be a traitor and sell you out this time?”

“Lea…” Elvis felt very helpless and frustrated . Apart from striking him physically, it was too difficult for him to win Lea .

Lea turned to stand side by side with Elvis, leaning against the wall . The moonlight drew long shadows from their figures . Lea spoke up in a mild tone, “If I also become a Beast King, then there will be three Beast Kings in the whole Beast World—all of them in our family . Under such a circumstance… what do you think are the chances of someone successfully harming Xiao Meng?”

Elvis understood . He knew that Lea was right . One Beast King was already without foe . With three Beast Kings together, there was no one else in the entire Beast World who could harm Gu Mengmeng anymore .

Even now, he had enough power to protect Gu Mengmeng and not let anyone hurt her .

But the memory of that previous incident, of Gu Mengmeng’s dying expression and his feeling of utter helplessness, was just too clear in his mind . He was truly afraid . That was why he suggested this solution, just in case .

He didn’t really want Lea to become a Beast King . Not because he was worried Lea would usurp his position, but because he knew that there was only a 30 percent success rate of activating the bloodline of the Beast King .

Luck played a huge part in his success .

Since there was already one person in the family who could be an insurance against Gu Mengmeng’s life, why let Lea take such a risk? It was enough for Lea to be promoted to the fifth-level . By then, Gu Mengmeng would have Lea and Wabei, plus her own formidable powers . Even if he was not around… she was more than capable of protecting herself .
