Fei Rui shook his head gently to show that he was fine. Then he asked Gu Mengmeng, if it was you, would you accept someone you don't like so that you could escape?
Gu Mengmeng really wanted to shake her head and say with confidence that she won't. If it was five years ago when she had just come to the Beast World, she might really say this.
But the experience during the past five years had taught her to accept reality.
Imagine if Cole had imprisoned her and forced her to become his partner?
Hah, in order for her to escape to land to meet with Elvis and Lea, she would definitely agree to become partners with a mermaid.
It was not just about her defying with her life at stake, there was still Elvis and Lea's life tied to hers. In her womb, there was still another child's life.
If she had died, Elvis and Lea would be suffering pain worse than death. They would go crazy and destroy the entire Beast World, including themselves.
