Gu Mengmeng continued to be in a very depressed state after returning to the stone castle.
Elvis told Lea what happened with Cole and Chixuan. Actually, all children should be independent after coming of age. If not for Gu Mengmeng's insistence, those other three sons should have already headed out on their own.
From the day they evolved, they already had not much ties with the original family.
But because Gu Mengmeng clung onto the notion of family, Lea and Elvis made an exception. Giving the excuse that those three young ones had yet to fully evolve, they allowed them to remain by their side.
Lea's heart ached as he looked at Gu Mengmeng's despondent state.
Sighing, Lea waved his tail and sat beside Gu Mengmeng. He held her gently by the shoulders and placed her head on his chest.
