“Get lost!” Gu Mengmeng knew that Lea was using this joking method to let her relax, after all, she would make more mistakes if she’s more nervous.
But…
How should she put it, if it’s killing someone else, Gu Mengmeng would not show mercy.
Previously, when cutting open Cole’s chest, she stuck her hand into his right chest and dug a hole almost without hesitation. Honestly speaking, it was because she was fuming mad but after all, with Snakel’s abilities, cruelty and bloodshed made up half of her basic nature.
But when facing someone she cared for, she really could not bring herself to do it.
“Alright alright alright, I’ll get lost to prepare some medical herbs and sewing materials.” Lea pulled Gu Mengmeng’s hand to his lips and kissed it before bitting her finger lightly and said, “Wabei and Auretin will guard the cave for you. No matter what happens when you are doing fusion for Elvis, please believe in them.”
Gu Mengmeng bit her lip and asked, “Do you think…..Cole will choose to create a ruckus when I’m doing fusion for Elvis?”
“Who knows.” Lea was also worrying about this, after all, it was too strange when he did not come out and obstruct them.
Wabei frowned and told Gu Mengmeng, “Gu Mengmeng, there’s something I……I’ve to tell you.”
“Huh? Little shit, are you constipated?” Gu Mengmeng looked at Wabei’s face that looked like he just ate shit and asked in a mocking tone.
“Tsk.” Wabei rolled his eyes at Gu Mengmeng and said, “I’m saying proper matters.”
“Yeah, say.” Gu Mengmeng cocked her ears to listen.
Wabei took a breath and said, “After we came back from the desert….you became a little different.”
“Me? Did I grow tanner? I’ve no choice….the sun at the desert is too strong, the UV rays are no joke….”
Wabei’s ‘are you an idiot’ expression shut Gu Mengmeng up as she chuckled mischievously and said, “I won’t interrupt, please say, please say….”
Wabei calmed down his emotions again and said, “I….I’m starting to be scared of you.”
“Why are you scared of me? I don’t bite.” Gu Mengmeng sneered in detest and wanted to crack a joke but Wabei’s serious gaze made her keep her smile. She asked, “Help me take a look, is there any change to the mark on the back of my neck?”
Gu Mengmeng could not think of other reasons so the only thing she could do was to lift her long hair up and show the back of her neck to Wabei.
There was no other way, other than the snake Wabei, Elvis and Lea could not see any difference if there was a change in the mark.
Wabei stared at the mark on the back of Gu Mengmeng’s neck closely before shaking his head, saying, “No, it’s still the same as after you had the Soul of the Forest, it’s the snake tribe’s protection mark.”
“Then….” Gu Mengmeng was stuck.
Wabei added, “After we came out from the desert, I kept feeling a desire to escape from you. You make me feel danger being around you and I will hold my breath unknowingly and hope that you won’t notice me. When you turn around occasionally to look at me, my snake scales will stand up unknowingly, as if every part of my bones are quivering in fright. This feeling is too strange, it’s very familiar but very new….an angry Snakel never make me this scared before.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned, feeling that things were a little serious but she acted normal and smiled, saying, “I won’t even do anything to you, why are you so scared of me?”
Wabei nodded and answered, “Because I know you won’t hurt me so I suppress the desire to escape and stayed by your side.”
