Chapter 989: In Exchange For You
Gu Mengmeng widened her eyes and glared at Cole. “If you are lying to me, I will tear you to pieces.”
Cole chuckled as he loosened his hold on Gu Mengmeng’s chin. He reached out his palm. “Give me the Soul of the Forest.”
Gu Mengmeng immediately handed the Soul of the Forest over to Cole.
Cole also didn’t waste any time but just turned and squatted by Chixuan’s side. He placed the tiny sprout on Chixuan’s brow.
That sprout dissolved into Chixuan’s brow area like how that leaf had done so earlier in Gu Mengmeng’s palm. It disappeared without a trace.
A mark like a tattoo appeared on Chixuan’s forehead. It was in the shape of a sprout with only two leaves, one of which was in the midst of unfurling, while the other continued to be curled up like an infant.
A miraculous sight unfolded before Gu Mengmeng’s eyes. The injuries on Chixuan’s body were recovering rapidly, while the rise and fall of his abdomen became more obvious and more rhythmic.
Lea went back to Chixuan’s side, and pulled back his eyelids to study his pupils. He then turned to look at Gu Mengmeng with a smile and a nod.
Gu Mengmeng breathed a sigh of relief. She felt as if her heart had finally settled back into her chest.
Cole tilted his head and looked at Gu Mengmeng. “Ah Gu, I have saved Little Xuan again. How are you... going to repay me?”
“Repay?” Gu Mengmeng was so angry that her eyes were nearly dripping venom and the veins in her fists all bulging. She said in a curt manner, “You nearly caused my son to die. How do you think I should ‘repay’ you?”
Cole looked at Gu Mengmeng with an innocent expression. “It was Little Xuan himself who chose to stay and battle Leonard. He is an adult and should take responsibility for his own actions, right? Anyway, Leonard was the one who injured Little Xuan and I have already shattered all his bones inch by inch in revenge. I have also used the Soul of the Forest to save Little Xuan’s life... the Kiss of the Ocean and the Soul of the Forest are part of the ransom you promised me. And I have used those precious treasures on Little Xuan. Shouldn’t you show me some gratitude?”
Why did Gu Mengmeng suddenly feel like she was at a loss for words?
His world view was so twisted that Gu Mengmeng didn’t know how to retort.
There was a saying that went “a tree without its bark would definitely die, but a human without shame would be invincible.”
This time, she had seen it all.
He had harmed her son so many times, but wanted her to turn around and show him gratitude?!
“I can cut off your head, what do you think?” Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists, feeling a desperate urge to just smash his brains in.”
But Cole just chuckled. He glanced around at the still-unconscious Chixuan. “You don’t want your newly rescued son anymore?”
“You...!” Gu Mengmeng was trembling from anger. But she was helpless because of Chixuan, and could only grit her teeth and say, “What do you want before you will finally let go of Chixuan?”
Cole tapped his chin and gazed into the sky, pretending to mull over this for a long while before replying, “In exchange for you, how about that? If you remain by my side I will let Chixuan go and allow him to leave me.”
“Give me another condition.” Gu Mengmeng would never agree to Cole’s preferred condition. Because if she did, it would be like pushing Elvis and Lea to their death.
Cole reluctantly considered the matter again, before pointing at Gu Mengmeng’s left ear. “Cut off your left ear for me, how about that?”
Left ear...
That was where Lea’s mating mark was located.
Gu Mengmeng held her left ear. She lifted her head with a smile. “Someone already owns my left ear. How about my right ear?”
