Chapter 1441: Two Guardian Beasts Fighting For Their Place In The Family
Stunned for a moment, Gu Mengmeng then laughed out loud.
Lea was so evil. Really too evil.
Gu Mengmeng dared to guarantee that Auretin thought the “rice bowl” Lea referred to was the actual utensil used for eating, rather than his livelihood and position in the family.
A savage fight between a ferocious tiger on the ground and a vulture in mid-air. Gu Mengmeng watched dumbstruck.
Under usual circumstances, Elvis and Lea would purposely block any ongoing battles from her line of sight. They seldom let her watch any fighting scenes, as if afraid of scaring her.
But things were different for Auretin and Gregory. Gregory desperately needed to prove his strength to Gu Mengmeng, while Auretin... was just driven mad over his desire for food.
Wabei sat at the side watching with his eyes aglow. He was itching to join in the fight.
Although a battle between third-level beasts was nothing much to him, as long as there was a fight, he would feel the urge to participate.
Lea tugged at Wabei’s arm. “Two guardian beasts fighting for their place in the family. What are you going over for?”
Wabei pouted. “We are both fifth-level now. Let’s go out for a round of sparring?”
Lea shook his head. “No way. I more or less know all your fighting methods now and it won’t add much to my experience. I am going to fight Elvis after eating, you stay home and accompany Mengmeng.”
“She doesn’t need my company.” Wabei’s eyes were shining. “I will go with you two. Elvis is now a Wolf King and you cannot defeat him. Let’s join forces against him.”
Lea snorted. “Joining forces with you to fight my family’s first partner—no matter who wins or loses, I won’t be able to answer to Mengmeng, right?”
“Ingrate.” Wabei rolled his eyes at Lea with deep displeasure.
Lea knew Wabei was referring to when he helped him get promoted during the time when Gu Mengmeng was visiting the Beast Deity. And so he didn’t mind and just smiled before placing the pot of meat onto the dining table.
The moment the pot touched the table, Auretin and Gregory instantly stopped their fighting.
Auretin’s jaws were clamped around Gregory’s neck, all ready to snap his head off.
Meanwhile, Gregory’s steel-like claws were pressed against Auretin’s left chest, all set to crush his heart.
They were neck to neck and could be considered evenly matched.
Gu Mengmeng took out six bowls and ladled six portions of meat. She placed the first bowl at her own seat. This was the rule. The female was the head of the household and was always served first.
The second bowl was given to Elvis. This was the indisputable right and privilege of a first partner.
The third bowl was given to Lea and the fourth to Wabei.
Gu Mengmeng then placed the fifth and sixth bowls one on each side of Wabei. “Auretin, Gregory. Stop it. It’s time to eat.”
This...
This was a tacit acknowledgment of Gregory’s status as the guardian beast.
Gregory walked to Gu Mengmeng’s side and reached out with the intention to hug her. But Elvis acted first, pulling Gu Mengmeng into his own arms.
Staring malevolently at Gregory, he said in a mild voice. “She can hug you, but you cannot hug her.”
Gregory was shocked, but then smiled and nodded.
He was a guardian beast and not a partner. Of course he didn’t have the right to hug her whenever he wanted.
It was not just him. If Elvis did not permit it, even Lea could not hug Gu Mengmeng as and when he liked.
He was somewhat disappointed but not upset.
Gregory presented his feather to Gu Mengmeng again. “This is the custom of bird tribes. I will only be considered yours if you accept this.”
