Lea's expression was dead serious and caused Gu Mengmeng to recall his resolute killing spree last night and the vague impression hidden deep in her memory: under the raven moon and dark night, a man whose looks could not be seen clearly, held her with one hand while he used the other hand to... easily tear away Collin's arm and save her from the hands of the grim reaper.
She would not doubt Lea's words. In the Beast World where martial skills were the most important and where only the strongest could enjoy the fruits of their abilities. Lea had enough ability to fulfill every word he had just said and even if he really did it, nobody would feel that it was inappropriate – the winner was king and that was the correct principle.
But the environment where Gu Mengmeng lived in and was educated from young had destined the fact that she could not follow how everyone sees a life here as worthless and that it was common to lose a life. She also could not accept how others could die for her anytime.
"Lea, this world is so wonderful but you're so hot-tempered. This is wrong, wrong!" Gu Mengmeng nodded her head in seeming earnest, trying to persuade Lea into giving up the ruthless idea.
Lea's sensual gaze was fully fixated on Gu Mengmeng's little face and he lifted her chin with his index finger. After seeing how she was looking up at him, the corners of his lips curved upwards and formed a charming smile that only a graceful and noble unsurpassed beauty from a generation would have.
"Call Me Daddy."
Nobody knew why Lea liked this title so much. Even though he did not know what 'Daddy' meant.
Gu Mengmeng's lips twitched, how did the scene before her change so quickly?
She even suspected that the words Lea said earlier was to poke fun at her deliberately.
"Not calling!" Gu Mengmeng looked away haughtily, she was still a baby!
"Are you really not calling?" Lea was not furious. Instead, he casually landed eyes on Sandy who was walking towards them from afar while swaying his large tail and said, "I guess that this world is not that wonderful."
Gu Mengmeng followed Lea's gaze and noticed that Sandy had already reached the borderline of Elvis's territory and was taking a bunch of things that she could not decipher.
Carrying it step by step closer to them, Lea purposely stretched out his slender and bony fingers one by one in front of Gu Mengmeng and sharp nails started growing out at a rate which a naked eye could catch.
F***, was this a sign of him losing his temper?
Gu Mengmeng gave up her principles immediately and hugged onto Lea's thigh, crying, "Daddy Lea, please be calm!"
Lea looked at Sandy and then at Gu Mengmeng, acting as if he was hesitant. He asked her with 30 percent threat and 70 percent expectation, "Sandy and I, who do you like better?"
Gu Mengmeng cozied up to him without principles, "I like Daddy Lea!"
Lea then gave a satisfied smile and retracted his nails. Touching Gu Mengmeng's tiny nose lightly, he said, "Don't call others Daddy, this title should only belong to me."
"I'll do as you say, Daddy Lea." Gu Mengmeng nodded her head like how garlic was pounded. She did not have any objections on going around calling anyone her Father so what was there to not agree on?
"Good girl~" Lea was extremely satisfied. Although he did not receive an acknowledgment from Gu Mengmeng to become her partner, being able to live with her was a pretty good improvement.
Lea did not want to force Gu Mengmeng too much to avoid terrorizing her. Thus, he ruffled her fluffy little head and said, "Go and play with Sandy. Elvis should be back soon, Daddy Lea would roast you some rabbit later."
Gu Mengmeng really wanted to tell Lea that calling himself 'Daddy Lea' was an action only a teenager who was going through puberty would do. But just as she wanted to say it, she chose to swallow it back into her stomach and nodded her head obediently, "Alright."
