Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO

A chill flashed across Cole’s eyes, as if some realization had suddenly dawned upon him.

Yes, why did Chixuan go through all the effort to do all this? Giving him the Soul of the Forest and purposely inciting him to go seek Gu Mengmeng at Sauder. Could it be just to make Gu Mengmeng hate him? No, that young punk would not do such a senseless thing.

Or could it be…?!

Cole got up and charged into the snowy winds without turning back.

Gu Mengmeng stared dumbfounded at Lea. “This… did Chixuan really scheme against him? Then would we be spoiling Chixuan’s plans if we let him go like that? Should I have kept him longer to give Chixuan a bit more time?”

Lea shook his head with a light smile. He stared at the heavy snows outside. “Ah Gu, you might not want to admit it but Cole really taught Chixuan well. Among the four children, he is probably the one you need to worry the least about.”

“What do you mean?” Gu Mengmeng remained befuddled.

Lea waved his tail and returned to Gu Mengmeng’s side. “Don’t worry. Chixuan will be fine. And after this episode, Cole would probably be too busy taking care of his own matters to give us any trouble for a period.”

“Do you mean he is going to seek out Chixuan now to settle things?”

Lea nodded. “Chixuan has Cole by the throat, forcing him to return to deal with him. Just by this, I am assured that Chixuan is not someone who can be easily manipulated by anyone. He has the viciousness of a wolf and the craftiness of a fox. He also learned a lot of things from you, which have never appeared in the Beast World before… even if he cannot win Cole, Cole would not be able to do anything to him. Your concern for Chixuan is his greatest protection. Cole will never kill Chixuan as he needs him to manipulate you. I surmise that Cole also kidnapped Kanwu and Jialue, this time to use them as bargaining chips against Chixuan.”

Lea seemed to have thought of a funny thing and chuckled before continuing. “But Cole seems to have forgotten that he was the one who raised Chixuan, and so Chixuan would not lack for ruthlessness. Using the same methods against you on Chixuan⁠—it is completely unworkable. Moreover, Jialue is also a crafty little fellow. I bet that Cole was unable to capture Hede as Jialue had hidden him earlier. This means…”

Gu Mengmeng saw that Lea was giving her a prompting look and so tried to think along his train of thought. After mulling for a while, she said, “Chixuan and his brothers already knew this day would come… Jialue purposely got himself captured and the four of them cooperated to lure Cole into their trap.”

Lea nodded. “Smart.”

“So you purposely insisted on staying at the Motou mountains for a month just to keep Cole here the whole time?” Gu Mengmeng asked.

Lea smiled. “More or less. Chixuan must have considered all aspects when setting this plan in motion. He picked this time to send Cole over as he must have known about the snow foxes collective mating fever. Elvis and I would never let you be tainted by such an occurrence and would naturally bring you away. Cole is a newly ascended Beast King and would be eagerly wanting to show off in front of you. He would never leave without seeing you. But with your personality, you would never tolerate having Cole by your side for long. So I guess that Chixuan’s plan would probably be accomplished in about a month or so…”
