novelMengmeng, I'm Here

"Mighty Snake King." a smooth male voice rang from the other side of the waterfall. Snake did not turn to look at him, only replying coldly, "Scram."
That did not anger Cole, as he maintained a consistently calm voice, "Mighty Snake King you do not have to be angry, I would just like to give you a suggestion. That snow fox is perhaps the best candidate to take care of this little female."
Snake side-eyed him coldly with a grin, "You think that fox can find the cure to my poison?"
Cole lowered his head, "Of course not. Only you have the cure to your own venom. However, females are different from males, as their bodies are too weak. If they do not recuperate well, they might not hold on much longer."
Snake exploded with beast pressure, making Cole kneel instantly. He picked Gu Mengmeng up and turned to walk away, not even leaving an eye roll for Cole.
When they returned to the cave, the pile of fruits had already been buried according to what Gu Mengmeng had mentioned. Nobody knew whether or not a new fruit trees could be grown, but nevertheless the cave was wiped out.
Snake wrapped Gu Mengmeng with his tail, forcing the toxins out from her body over and over.
The purple tint in her lips had subsided but her face was still ghastly pale, and she was still in a state of unconsciousness...
Initially, she could still be fed some water, but later on her teeth could not even be pried open. The tighter Snake hugged her, the more she shivered, eventually... Snake could only put Gu Mengmeng on the stone platform, as he ordered a small snake to get Lea over.
When Lea dragged his weak body to the cave, he saw Gu Mengmeng scrunched up on the stone platform lifelessly. Snake stood far away, staring at Gu Mengmeng dead in his eyes without turning away.
Lea did not greet Snake, for he had no words to say.
In front of the Beast King, him as a third-level orc was weaker than an ant.
He did not want to waste his energy saying any useless heroic remarks, but rather use every second to care for Gu Mengmeng.
Carrying Gu Mengmeng in his arms, Lea transformed into a half-orc, wrapping Gu Mengmeng tightly with his big tail. He used his tongue to gently lick Gu Mengmeng's little nose, lightly rubbing at her ear. He used an affectionate voice, one that sounded like the noise made from the depths of the ocean, to speak softly in her ear, "Mengmeng, I'm here. Don't be scared, don't be scared... You have to hold on, you understand? You promised, you won't leave me alone."
Snake held his fist tightly behind his back. He wanted to hug Gu Mengmeng like that too, but his damned body did not have the warmth like that of the fox. His blood was cold, so no matter how tightly he hugged, he would never provide her with a trace of warmth.
Lea used his face to stick onto Gu Mengmeng's gently, while lightly caressing Gu Mengmeng's arm, saying, "I need Elvis to help me, I can't make Gu Mengmeng recover on my own."
Snake frowned, "Tell me what you need, I can provide you too."
Elvis snorted, side-eyeing Snake, "Elvis is her first partner. The sense of security he can provide for her cannot be replaced by anyone else."
Snake's pupils quivered, straightening into a vertical line, then slowly turning back. He stretched his tongue out towards the entrance of the cave, and Elvis was brought over not long after.
Lea handed Gu Mengmeng to Elvis, then said, "I will prepare some food, you hug her and talk to her more."
