Gu Mengmeng stood up to welcome him. Giving him a light hug, she said, “Little shit, you’re here.”
Wabei was taken aback as he extended his hand and poked Gu Mengmeng’s forehead, crying out, “Is there a loose screw in you?”
Normally, shouldn’t she give him a slap or directly kick him away and say, “Little shit, are you looking for a beating again?” upon seeing him?
Why was the opening different today?
Gu Mengmeng giggled foolishly and rebounded her head like Humpty Dumpty, leaning against Wabei’s chest.
His body was different from Elvis and Lea, it was always cold and no matter what happened, it could never become warm. Furthermore, Wabei was clearly quite good-looking but Gu Mengmeng never sense any message from his hormones. Maybe this was signaling that they both hold each other dearly but without any ambiguous feelings between them. This explained their current state.
Gu Mengmeng hugged him from quite a while and then sighed, telling Wabei what happened to Oakley and Bloom.
Wabei suddenly came to realization and asked, “Ah……so that’s why you’re so abnormal today, you’re not hitting me but hugging me instead?”:
Gu Mengmeng looked at Wabei, feeling wronged as she questioned him, “Will you fall in love with someone one day and then betray me for her….”
“Is your brain filled with shit? Don’t you know that love and relationships will obstruct me from leveling up? I’m not dumb.” Wabei stared at Gu Mengmeng in detest and rolled his eyes before continuing, “But, he betrayed you first, why should you be sad?”
Gu Mengmeng lifted her face up to look at Wabei and questioned him again, “What if I was forced to give the Snake King valley up to someone and then I died after apologizing to you…..what will you do?”
Wabei instantly howled at her in anger, “Don’t you f***ing dare to die!”
Gu Mengmeng extended out her hands helplessly and said, “See, you don’t even care about the Snake King valley, you only care about my life and death….”
Wabei was shocked for two seconds before he sneered and said, “I guess I can understand how you feel, it’s just like how Snakel abandoned the entire Snake King valley and vanished suddenly. He taught me that we can’t prepare every farewell properly, those that will hurt always catches you off guard.”
Gu Mengmeng looked at Wabei and did not say a word for a long time. She just took two water cups, handing one to Wabei and holding the other one in her hand. They knocked their cups together and then drank the water in a one-shot.
Wabei did not understand what they were doing but the atmosphere made him do the exact same thing as Gu Mengmeng.
The rain stopped after seven days. Gu Mengmeng squinted her eyes lazily and said, “Let’s make a trip to Zacharias to visit Natalie and her kids. Then, let’s return back to Saint Nazaire before the rainy season ends.”
Elvis and Lea never objected to Gu Mengmeng’s orders before. They just nodded and left to pack the luggage roughly.
Collin finally surpassed to fourth-level after three consecutive days of Elvis’s nightmarish training. Gu Mengmeng was originally worried that Zacharias’s position was too close to the stray beasts’ base camp and it would be inconvenient for Sandy. She wanted to ask Collin to bring Sandy back to Saint Nazaire but Sandy shook her head and said that she wanted to stay behind.
Gu Mengmeng could not understand so Sandy said with her lips clamped, “I don’t want to be a friend who only knows how to create trouble. You’re definitely worried if Hede and Jialue stay behind without any reinforcements so I’ll stay behind to take care of them. With Collin’s presence, there will be one more pair of hands to help during battles. Moreover, the little leopard cubs are still too small, it’s too tiring for them to travel such a long and treacherous distance so….I won’t go back with you, I want to stay behind.”
