Wabei opened up his palms in front of Gu Mengmeng and it was filled with sweat.
“Look, this is my body’s reaction to your tail attack,” Wabei continued, “I am a snake, a cold-blooded animal and I don’t usually sweat even on a hot day. But your glare made my palms sweat until now. Even if you are talking to me kindly now, I still can’t control the instinct to curl up and avoid you.”
“It’s that serious?” Gu Mengmeng frowned.
There were countless times that Wabei was almost tortured to death in Snakel’s memory and Gu Mengmeng had also hit Wabei many times. But Wabei had never been cowardly and after recovery, he would immediately continue his provocation.
However, this time, because of Gu Mengmeng’s glare, he had been terrified until now? And wanted to escape? Was it so serious?
Wabei nodded and replied, “but other than me, Elvis, Lea and even the third-level Auretin do not have such a feeling. Does this mean that… there is something about you that is dangerous to some stray beasts?”
Deep in her thoughts, Gu Mengmeng recalled a saying. She instinctively mumbled, “so long as you kill me, the stray beasts that appear within 50 meters radius of you would all be terrified and none of them would dare to defy you.”
“What?” Elvis held onto Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders as he asked.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and lifted her confused face to look up at Elvis, saying, “I don’t know, it’s just that… someone seemed to have told me this.”
Mengmeng frowned as she looked at Elvis and asked, “I… Did I kill someone? Why do I not remember…”
Elvis raised Gu Mengmeng’s little hands and kissed it, saying, “you fool, don’t overthink things. With Lea and me around, we would be the ones to kill anyone, why would we let you dirty your hands?”
“Then…”
“I’m telling you this because even I am this scared of you, so that crippled fox is definitely even more afraid of you.” Wabei interrupted Gu Mengmeng’s conjecture and said, “it is not that he is unwilling to appear, but that he dare not come close.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and responded, “that would be best. But little shit… I promise to not bully you anymore, don’t be afraid of me… alright?”
Wabei clenched his fist and said, “I am just showing you face, don’t be unappreciative of my kindness. Hmph!”
After saying that, Wabei left the temporary cave and leaned against the cave entrance while panting heavily to recover from his extreme fear. After a long time, he then rushed back into the cave and shouted, “I will guard the cave entrance, faster begin your digging.”
Gu Mengmeng knew that Wabei was forcing himself to hide it, he was really scared of her…
But even if he was scared, he still endured it and stood beside her. Indeed, he was such a little piece of shit.
Lea kissed Gu Mengmeng’s forehead and told her, “I shall get going too.”
After that, Lea dragged Auretin out and said, “guard the cave well with Wabei, I will cook meat for you when I return.”
“Yes.” Auretin responded wth strong resolute, as if he was a warrior who had pledged to protect his homeland till death.
The three of them left the cave and Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath before letting Elvis lay flat on the ground. She sat on his stomach and used her knees to prevent him from moving his elbows out of pain. If that happened, it would be even more troublesome if his heart was injured.
“Hubby…”
“Don’t worry, don’t be afraid. I still have to protect you, I won’t die yet.”
