The Beast Deity nodded and did not say anything.
Gu Mengmeng closed her eyes and leaned backwards, falling in a straight posture.
A hit of giddiness was felt before a wave of free fall. Gu Mengmeng frowned and gathered together her limbs before sitting up all of a sudden.
She sat up too abruptly, her head's still spinning.
She leaned towards one side and fell into a warm embrace.
"You're awake?" The words had not reach Gu Mengmeng's ears when a cup of water appeared in front of her.
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head and drank a mouthful of water before looking up into Elvis's deep and gentle eyes.
Chuckling, Gu Mengmeng kissed Elvis's chin and said, "It's so nice seeing you the moment I wake up."
Elvis felt a warm sensation flowing past his chest because of Gu Mengmeng's words, nourishing the gentleness and pampering in his dark blue eyes. He kissed her brows and said, "I'm always here, you definitely can see me whenever you want."
"Yeah." Gu Mengmeng smiled, nodding her head as a form of reply. Then, she huddled inside his arms and asked, "How long had I been sleeping?"
"Four days." Elvis asked worriedly, "Are you hungry?"
"A little." Gu Mengmeng nodded and answered him.
Elvis rubbed Gu Mengmeng's limbs to wake her up so as to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable when getting off the bed because her body could not adjust well after a long sleep.
"Lea saw how you were going to wake up so he went to prepare some food for you. After you're more awake, we'll go down to eat."
Gu Mengmeng nodded and asked another question, "Did anything happen in these four days?"
Elvis shook his head and reported, "Nothing much, it's just that Lea was bored so he.... . snatched away Oakley's authority."
Gu Mengmeng almost choked on her own saliva, how was coup d'état nothing much?
Elvis tapped Gu Mengmeng's brows in a pampering way and said, "Why are you so anxious? With Lea's skills, why are you still scared that he will kill Oakley to snatch his authority?"
Gu Mengmeng thought that it made sense too, Lea rarely resort to killing as a solution. He would only use the method of making people abide by his intentions voluntarily.
But...
"Cole allowed Lea to snatch the authority away that easily?" Gu Mengmeng expressed her doubts.
Elvis paused and smiled helplessly. He looked up at Gu Mengmeng and raised a question, "He had achieved his motive, don't you think so?"
"Huh?" Gu Mengmeng stared at Elvis in confusion.
Elvis said while rubbing Gu Mengmeng's calf, "If he wants to get Sauder's political power, he just need to launch an attack to snatch it. Is there a need for him to control Oakley to achieve that? It's too torturous, isn't it?"
"You mean that...." Gu Mengmeng still did not quite get it.
Elvis used the beast skin to cover one of Gu Mengmeng's calf properly before starting to rub her other leg, replying at the same time, "The best way to take down an enemy who doesn't want to start the war fire is to showcase one's own capabilities and chip to allow the enemy to measure his gains and losses, is that right?"
Ha, Gu Mengmeng sniggered and said, "So, Cole is telling me that no matter how much I detest him, as long as I can't bear with Chixuan, Sandy and Oakley, I can't do anything with him?"
Although Elvis was unwilling, he still nodded and agreed, "He made use of people you cared about and all we could do was to go along him. It's a little too passive."
"So Lea snatched Sauder's ownership....... to...... snatch Oakley back?"
Elvis gently scraped Gu Mengmeng's nose and complimented, "Xiao Meng is so clever."
