Chapter 743: An Affair With Snake? Unsuccessful Attempt.
Elvis frowned and thought for a long while. He considered everyone around Gu Mengmeng but was unable to think of anyone reliable who fit Gu Mengmeng’s description.
But Lea was more astute and smiled knowingly. “Are you referring to Wabei?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Bingo.”
Lea nodded as he considered the possibility. “His combat skills are indeed undeniable. After all, he had been under Snake’s tutelage for over 800 years. He would crush anyone anywhere. But… he treats you as a romantic rival? Could it be…”
Lea looked suggestively at Elvis as he spoke.
The fur Elvis’ tail bristled as he gritted his teeth. “It’s not me!”
Lea shrugged. “It’s not me either.”
Gu Mengmeng covered her mouth as she smiled. “It’s Snake.”
Lea’s eyes glinted with a raunchy light. “He had an affair with Snake?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and replied in a small voice. “Unsuccessful attempt.”
Elvis looked at the mark behind Gu Mengmeng’s neck and suddenly felt that Snake was rather pitiful.
Clearing his throat, he said, “He will definitely be able to ensure your safety. But why will he be willing to accompany you?”
Gu Mengmeng gently rubbed the back of her neck with a bland expression. “We will pass on a fake sacred decree… he will never reject it.”
Elvis was momentarily taken aback. “You want to tell him that it is Snake who asked him to accompany you?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded.
Lea kissed Gu Mengmeng little face. “You are still a softy at heart. There are thousands of ways to make him obey but you chose the one method that will offer him a sliver of hope.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “I just can’t stand him behaving like Snake’s widow. That’s why I want to play a trick on him.”
Lea didn’t press Gu Mengmeng further but just pinched her little nose. “Snake will be delighted to hear that. He must think you are jealous.”
Recalling her time with the Beast Deity, where they watched Snake woo her in the present world, Gu Mengmeng’s heart suddenly lightened several notches.
She said, “He might already be very happy now. I will definitely try my best to give him trouble. Humph, who asked him to make the decision to die, causing me to grieve for such a long time. Punishing him… is a must.”
Lea rubbed Gu Mengmeng little head and didn’t continue to pursue this topic.
He and Elvis understood clearly that even though Mengmeng was much better now, her guilt towards Snake was still buried somewhere deep in her heart, where it would hurt whenever prodded.
“If we want Wabei to follow us, we must move quickly. The rainy season will come after this dry spell, and that is the time when we must start preparing provisions for the winter. By then, Wabei will also be preparing to go into hibernation. We are short on time and cannot delay things further.” Elvis was happy to let Gu Mengmeng focus her energies on a task, so that she would not have the time to let her thoughts run wild.
Snake, Chixuan and Cole—such frustrating matters were best relegated to the back of one’s mind.
He was only worried about her safety when he refused to let her go. Now that they had a solution, he would naturally not stand in her way.
Gu Mengmeng nodded with a bitter smile. “It looks like I must get Sandy to take care of my sons again. Those three fellows are always at Sandy’s. I don’t know if that would hinder their plans to marry…”
Sandy didn’t have the time to bear daughters. Who would they marry then…
