Chapter 1170: Battle Of Wits Between Two Foxes

Lea glanced sideways at Joshua with a look indicating his surprise that Joshua had not yet left. He stopped for two seconds and suddenly laughed.

He released Gu Mengmeng’s little hands and sat up straight. After changing his playful smile into a graceful one, and becoming as polite as the Saint Nazaire, he said. “Continue on, I would like to hear about what kind of holy creature is able to have a value comparable to that of the Beast King’s fury enhanced Deity’s Punishment Scales.”

Joshua wanted to look straight into Lea’s eyes but his aura was so strong that it felt so oppressive. He could not even withstand for a second before he gave in and lowered his head. Clenching his fist and with a frown on his face, he responded, “Heart of the Desert.”

The instant the four words came out of his mouth, Joshua could distinctly sense the change in the atmosphere in the surroundings.

And this change had solely come from the three people in front of him.

Gu Mengmeng and Lea exchanged glances. There was a light smile on the corner of their lips and it seemed to be mocking something.

Lea’s prediction was really accurate – Cole had indeed used an entire winter season to plot a scheme.

However, since he already knew that Gu Mengmeng know about Maya’s identity, it was highly likely that the information he had given Maya was fake. But judging from Lea’s intelligence, he would most likely think the same, so it may be possible that Cole had acted in the opposite way. Yet, he had still sent out the second option after the Motou lineage…

Hah, this was indeed a battle of wits between the two foxes.

With her palms supporting her chin, Gu Mengmeng finally made eye contact with Joshua. There was a gentle smile at the side of her mouth but it did not reach her eyes when she said softly, “I once made a promise that I will fulfill their wishes if anyone brings me the seven treasures. Even though you have the Heart of the Desert, you only exchanged it for the chance to join the Saint Nazaire – isn’t is such a waste?”

Upon hearing Gu Mengmeng’s voice, Joshua could feel his heart palpitating at an extremely fast pace. All the blood flowed to his head and he could sense his palms covered in sweat.

While squeezing his fingers, Joshua said. “I do not have the Heart of the Desert. I only have news about it so I dare not ask for a wish. So long as you allow me to use it to replace the scales that Master Lea had asked for in his test, I will be contented.”

The corner of Gu Mengmeng’s lips rose and she commented. “You are really not a greedy one.”

Gu Mengmeng looked sideways at Lea and laughed. “Since the test is set by you, you have the right to decide whether you can change it.”

Lea’s hands were wrapped around Gu Mengmeng’s elbow playfully and his chin on her fleshly shoulders when he responded. “What other thoughts would I have in front of you? Isn’t it just going to be you deciding it?”

Gu Mengmeng smiled lazily. With her fingers on Lea’s gabella, she pushed him away from her shoulders. Then, she wrapped her arms around Elvis’s neck to indicate to him to leave.

Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng and stood up. He shot Auretin and Barete a meaningful gaze. Both of them nodded their heads together and stayed behind to host the night campfire party, while Elvis and Lea left with Gu Mengmeng. When they passed Joshua, Gu Mengmeng told him softly, “Spare me a few minutes to talk elsewhere.”

“Yes.” Joshua did not dare to lift his head the whole time. He felt his heart beating too vigorously. The enchanting person was so close to him, yet he did not dare to even lift his head to glance and only followed quietly behind.

“Let’s not return to the cave but to where Lea had stayed in the past.” Probably because of territorial behaviour from staying in the Beast World for too long, or because her sense of smell was too sensitive after inheriting Snakel’s ability, she did not like it when strangers leave their scent where she stayed at. Especially when the other party had an ulterior motive and was related to Cole, she did not like it even more.
