"What?!" Gu Mengmeng's face instantly changed.
Elvis held her small hands and said, "Don't be angry, listen to me first."
Gu Mengmeng bit her lower lip and the look of bliss vanished from her face.
Smiling bitterly, Elvis knew that Xiao Meng would definitely be angry if he had harmed itself, but...
"I am worried that there would suddenly be an end to our forever, I am afraid that I might lose you unexpectedly, I am scared that just my insistence alone will not be enough to find you back. So I took out the second rib bone from my left chest and shaped it into a bone comb."
"It is the bone that is closest to my heart, so it knows clearly that every heartbeat is because of you."
"So if there is suddenly an end to our forever, if it happens so unexpectedly that I can not break the wooden comb in half for you and I, then this bone can at least guide me to find you."
"Xiao Meng, my heart will not stop beating without this bone."
"But if I cannot find you, there is no longer any meaning to my heartbeat."
"So don't be angry at me and keep it by your side, so that I know that I won't ever lose you."
"Alright?"
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips. She really did not like the way they harmed themselves to prove their love for her.
Lea understood Gu Mengmeng the best. He took a step forward and said, "Don't forget the regrowth abilities of a Beast King. If Cole could even grow out a new hand and tail, one bone is nothing to Elvis."
Gu Mengmeng shot daggers from her eyes at him, causing Lea to immediately surrender and say, "Don't worry, I can guarantee that the men in our family would not be this uncreative and reuse the method that Elvis had used. Just this time, next time there won't be anyone who would take something out of their body to gift you, alright?"
Hearing this, Gu Mengmeng then calmed down and placed her hand on Elvis' left chest, as she questioned, "Is it still painful?"
Elvis shook his head and replied, "So long as you are around, it won't be painful."
In the end, Gu Mengmeng still received the bone comb from Elvis' hands. When she took it, she could almost feel the pain from her palms coming from the warmth of the comb.
She whispered to Elvis' ears, "You have to promise me to never do something like this in the future."
"Yes, " Elvis kissed her ears gently and promised, "I will always listen to Xiao Meng."
Gu Mengmeng then nodded her head in satisfaction and let him off this time.
After all, there were so many people watching. It was the first time Elvis had appeared in public and she had to leave some face for him.
Moreover, Elvis had put in so much effort to arrange a banquet for her, she did not want him to return in disappointment.
Seeing that Gu Mengmeng's expression had recovered slightly, Elvis shot a grateful gaze at Lea. Then, he took half a step back and kneeled down on one knee. Holding Gu Mengmeng's hand at his lips and kissing it, he said, "Xiao Meng, this world is too foreign to me. Even though I am still not outstanding enough now to match you, I am willing to use everything I have to support the world for you, so that you can have a comfortable and carefree place to live in."
"For you, I will stand on the peak of the world and become the most honorable person in this world."
"There is a sentence that Snake said really well."
"How could I aggrieve my woman?"
"The proposal that has been late for a thousand years is something that I owe you."
As he said that, Elvis took out a diamond ring and presented it to her, saying, "Xiao Meng, marry me. Allow me to use all my life to repay you, to take care of you, to love you."
