Gu Mengmeng faintly felt an intriguing but uneasy element in Lea’s words so she asked, “If we go back on our promise after signing this blood alliance, will it affect the two parties involved in the signing?”
Lea was taken aback by Gu Mengmeng’s sharp sense and also felt a slight sense of warmth. She did not ignore this matter just because it did not concern Elvis… or maybe, she still cared for him.
Lea felt the suffocating feeling at his chest loosening a little and tried to appear carefree and lively but his gaze was all along still fixated on Gu Mengmeng’s little face. He urgently wanted to see an answer on her face, any answer would do.
Thus, he pronounced every word lightly and slowly, “One that defies a blood alliance will receive a death punishment.”
“Tsk.” Gu Mengmeng frowned and growled, “Was your brain kicked by a donkey before? How can you sign such an alliance carelessly with anyone? If the other party doesn’t have good moral character, what would you do if he goes around trying every trick to mislead the public using Saint Nazaire’s reputation and even stir up trouble? We also can’t oust them…”
Gu Mengmeng hit her forehead and looked as if life was meaningless, “We’re screwed, we’re screwed, it’s easier to call up an evil spirit but to allay it… god, please bless us so that the people from the Eagle-owl tribe will not be crafty and vicious.”
Lea tried to understand Gu Mengmeng’s worry before replying, “After joining Saint Nazaire, they’ve to accept Elvis and my control and abide by Saint Nazaire’s rules or else we’ve the right to banish or execute the death penalty on them. So, the situation you’re worried about will not happen. I’ve confirmed before today that in their tribe… there isn’t an orc that has surpassed the third-level yet. All of them are not our opponents.”
Gu Mengmeng rolled her eyes at Lea and looked at Lea like she was looking at an idiot, “They can fly, can both of you fly?”
Lea choked and was speechless by that rebuttal but a piece of his heart melted.
The last time Gu Mengmeng talked to him this naturally… was before winter.
Lea smiled even wider and his mood was extremely good, even his tone became a lot more relaxed as he replied, “So, I signed a blood alliance with them. Once they become undisciplined and pose a threat to Saint Nazaire, I can bring the blood alliance out and murder them on the spot.”
Gu Mengmeng’s heart was not put to ease even the slightest bit because of Lea’s ‘all precautions are taken’ and she just glared at Lea in a more depressed way, “Yeah, murdering them on the spot and sacrificing your own life at the same time too. You’re not only seeking death this way, you’re seeking death and seeking death again.”
“You… can’t bear for me to die?” Lea asked in utmost cautiousness.
Gu Mengmeng was taken by surprise and she looked up at Elvis out of instincts, feeling as if she was caught red-handed by her husband for still mingling with her ex-boyfriend even after they separated. Damn it, all the guilt.
Gu Mengmeng licked her own lips and buried her face in Elvis’s arms, saying unhappily, “Everyone is responsible for treasuring lives. Every life ought to be treated with care.”
Although it was not the answer he wanted to hear but… it had the same meaning as she being concerned for him and could not bear for him to die, right?
Lea’s smile grew more radiant and despite Gu Mengmeng not being able to witness it, he still used the most tender gaze to look at the little girl who huddled herself up entirely in Elvis’s embrace with a beast skin as he answered, “Don’t worry, the Birds always boast about being the closest to the Beast Deity so they take promises very seriously and normally won’t defy against oaths.”
Gu Mengmeng twitched her lips and replied indifferently, “Quentin’s also a Bird. He did so many unscrupulous things but I don’t see him getting struck by lightning.”
