Chapter 373: This Is Raised At Home. It Doesn’t Bite.

Atlas StudiosGu Mengmeng did not object to his suggestion. After all, facing an asleep Lea was much easier and more comfortable than an awake Lea.
Who knew how much time had passed when the sun had already tilted to the west. The afterglow of the sunset painted the outside of the windowless stone house red and the halo softened the outline of the building, letting everything appear much more gentle. Gu Mengmeng’s eyes already grew accustomed to night vision but she eventually still preferred bathing under sunlight.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she saw someone walked in. Raising her head, she indeed met eyes with those blue pupils.
“You’re back.” Gu Mengmeng smiled.
Upon seeing Lea sleeping on Gu Mengmeng’s knees, Elvis felt a sudden sense of shock. But his expression just flashed past and the next moment, he nodded his head without saying much. Then, he opened the beast-skin bag on his back that was filled with pieces of raw meat that had been handled before. The other bag, on the other hand, was wrapping some bright-colored and plump fruits that looked juicy, sweet and tasty at one glance.
Gu Mengmeng moved Lea’s head away in utmost cautiousness and used a pillow to replace her legs before climbing off the bed quietly. She lied on the table to wipe the sweat off Elvis’s head and asked, “Did you run back here? Your head is filled with sweat.”
Elvis smiled as he took a fruit over and handed it to Gu Mengmeng. With an anticipated gaze, he gestured her to give it a try while replying, “I was afraid that you’ll wait for a long time so I wanted to hurry and come back.”
Gu Mengmeng bit the fruit and as expected, the taste was as sweet and juicy as what she expected. She grinned from ear to ear in delight and pushed the fruit to Elvis. “Here, it’s really delicious. Have a try too.”
Elvis did not bite the fruit but instead, turned his head to kiss Gu Mengmeng’s lips. His nimble tongue attacked every part of her mouth and until all the air in her lungs was depleted, he then let her go reluctantly. He smiled while wiping away the juice off the corner of his mouth and said gently, “Yeah, very delicious.”
Embarrassed, Gu Mengmeng gave a blow on Elvis’s chest, and said ‘Annoying~’ with a pouting expression.
Elvis used a tree branch to string the meat together and placed it aside. Looking at Lea, he said, “I’ll wake Lea up to cook for you. Or else, you will be famished when the meat finish roasting.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, “It’s rare for him to sleep so soundly. Let’s not disturb him. Start a fire and I’ll roast the meat. I haven’t cooked a meal for you in such a long time. Although my culinary skills are clearly not as good as Lea’s, just treat it as adjusting your taste-buds. Just eat it once in a while. The main point is my sincere intention, right?”
Elvis landed a smooch on Gu Mengmeng’s cheek and said, “The food you cook is the most delicious food in the whole world. Nothing can be compared to the dishes you make. I just can’t bear to let you work too hard.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled and pecked Elvis’s lips. “You have such a sweet tongue, I’ll reward you later with two more pieces of meat.~”
“Alright.” Elvis smiled and carried Gu Mengmeng out of the stone house before he started to start a fire. Gu Mengmeng hummed a song while rubbing some salt on the meat and then brushed some honey and sprinkled a little chili on them.
This original daily scene, however, invited many people over. The crowd grew bigger and bigger but not a single one of them dared to approach them. Gu Mengmeng lifted her head and upon realizing everyone’s abnormal expression, she face-palmed and said, “Oh my, I forgot that everyone’s scared of fire. It’s alright, it’s alright. Everyone, don’t be scared. This is different from the Flame Devil. This is raised at home and is very tame. It doesn’t bite.”
