Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO (Web Novel)
chapter-713

“Two days worth of hunted game have been piled there. But you were all too busy mating and didn’t have the time to cook for me…” Auretin sighed with a cryptic look at Gu Mengmeng. His face was expressionless but she could feel his resentment.

So… he was blaming her for delaying his meals?!

Tsk tsk tsk, this freeloader had the cheek to complain…

Lea shifted his body to block Auretin’s view of Gu Mengmeng. He lifted his chin. “Look again and I will gouge your eyes out.”

Auretin maintained his blank expression and stared back at Lea with eyes half-closed. He snorted derisively. “You cannot beat me.”

Instead of being angry, Lea smiled malevolently. “Have you forgotten… who makes the meals in this family?”

With a start, the disdain in Auretin’s eyes quickly cracked. It turned into a look of surrender and ingratiation. “You win, I won’t look anymore.”

Lea lifted his head and snorted arrogantly. He then turned back to continue his cooking.

Ian shook his head. “Where in the world did you throw your dignity? Breaking down over a bite to eat… Auretin, are you not afraid of being a laughingstock if news of this gets out?”

Auretin’s gaze landed on that plate of braised meat by Lea’s hands, and didn’t respond to Ian’s chiding, except with a look of gluttony. He replied leisurely, “Whoever dares to make fun of me, I will bite them to death.”

“Tsk, boorish.” Ian’s face was full of scorn. He scooted closer to Gu Mengmeng and away from Auretin.

Gu Mengmeng chuckled. She felt rather contented with such a family scene didn’t wish to spoil it.

Outsiders all thought Auretin came to Gu Mengmeng’s cave daily as he had designs on her. But in reality, he was just after the meals at her home…

Who would believe it? She was a Messenger of the Beast Deity and beautiful beyond belief. But in Auretin’s eyes, she was no match for a plate of braised meat.

Nevertheless, it was because Auretin did not have designs towards Gu Mengmeng that Lea and Elvis permitted him to hang around her daily without taking any extreme action.

Ian crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned back to look at the sky with a sense of satisfaction and laziness.

A gentle breeze blew through his hair and the two exquisite feathers at the tips of his ears quivered under the sunlight.

But his face held a constant sickly cast, such that one couldn’t help but ask him with concern: Dear, have you taken your medicine today?

“Gu Mengmeng. “Ian spoke up.

“Huh?” Gu Mengmeng replied with a single-syllabus.

Ian glanced at her from the corner of his eyes. “That Cole… has been skulking around the outside of Saint Nazaire all this while. Do we need to settle him?”

Gu Mengmeng frowned as the warmth in her eyes dissipated. “Is he alone?”

Ian nodded. “Yeah, he is alone and behaving wantonly..”

Gu Mengmeng raised her brows. “Oh?”

Ian said, “With his cunning, it should not be difficult for him to stay out of sight. But he has absolutely no intention of hiding. Instead, he is recklessly moving about right outside Saint Nazaire, and looks rather pleased with himself.”

Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis and asked him, “Who is in charge of the territory beside Saint Nazaire? Is there no one?”

Elvis chuckled. “He is a fifth-level stray beast and the formerly renowned Lord Cole. As long as his target is not their own territory, who will dare to provoke him?”
