So, it was a false alarm. Gu Mengmeng heaved a sigh of relief and placed her half-hanging heart back into her stomach.
Elvis and Lea also kept the dark expressions on their faces and leaned back to their seats comfortably.
The crowd who was holding their breath started laughing secretly. Only the tiger beast who was holding the bowl was unaware of the situation as he continued staring at Gu Mengmeng, waiting for her reply.
After she put her heart at ease, a wave of embarrassment hit her.
She thought that he wanted to confess to her and her husband almost killed him after not holding himself back, how embarrassed must she be!
Clearing her throat, Gu Mengmeng acted calm and said, “It’s no problem to bring you back to Saint Nazaire but I can’t ensure that Mandy will accept you.”
“It’s alright, I’ll keep working hard.” The tiger beast pledged in all sincerity and seriousness.
Gu Mengmeng smiled and nodded her head, saying, “Since that’s the case, you don’t have to wait for me. You can directly set off to Saint Nazaire tomorrow morning. After you reach, go on and find Barete and tell him that I permitted you to enter the tribe,”
As Gu Mengmeng said, she took a piece of snake scale and threw it to the tiger beast, saying, “This is a token that Barete recognizes. He won’t make things difficult for you when he sees this.”
That piece of snake scale was the one Ellie gave Gu Mengmeng previously. It had crooked simplified Chinese characters carved on it and was a counterfeit copy stolen from Snakel. Back then, Barete saw it before and Gu Mengmeng kept it by her side for such a long time too. There was Gu Mengmeng’s scent on it so Barete would definitely believe him.
“Thank you Great Messenger.” The tiger beast gave a simple and honest smile. Then, he kept the snake scale like a baby and left the night campfire party.
He could not wait till the next morning, he wanted to find Mandy now.
After the end of a tiny false alarm, the smell of gunpowder from the battles among the second-level orcs became stronger. The wolf beast participated in eight battles and won six of them. He finally stopped after gaining back some reputation in front of Elvis.
The last round of battles was the highlight, it’s the battles among the third-level orcs.
Gu Mengmeng shifted her butt and sat next to Sandy, saying, “Sigh, after observing them for half a day, is there anyone you already fancy? Shall I let Jialue blow a black whistle for you?”
Sandy was brought to laughter by Gu Mengmeng’s words as she replied, “Do you still think that these battles are for nurturing relationships? The three powers are actually fighting among themselves. If you let Jialue blow a black whistle, it might be harder for him to control the tribesmen in the future. And moreover, I’m choosing a partner to raise the abilities of my family, I don’t want a male who can only win after a black whistle.”
Gu Mengmeng thought over it before nodding, agreeing with her, “That’s true too, we don’t want those outwardly attractive but worthless people.”
“That’s right.” Sandy chuckled, shifting her gaze back to the arena.
The first male up was Arnold from the snow fox tribe against Hodgson from the wolf tribe.
Gu Mengmeng recognized Arnold as the eldest son from one of the tribe elder’s family. He was valued since young because there were rumors that his Father had intention to pass on his position as a tribe elder to him. Being on the same level as Lea, all he needed to do was to mate before he could instantly surpass third level so his abilities were not to be taken lightly of.
Gu Mengmeng also recognized Hodgson. He was from the first batch of wolf beasts who followed Elvis on the road back from the Mecca Desert. Elvis did not like to manage the matters in the tribe so as time went by, Hodgson became a little leader in the wolf gang, his position alike to Wabei in the Snake King valley.
Ha, these two were heavy-weighted candidates, none of them seemed like they want to lose.
Gu Mengmeng poked Elvis and then poked Lea, resembling a spectator onlooking the bustling scene, before saying, “Hey, do you guys want to guess who will win?”
Lea asked softly, “The winner shall sleep one night alone with you and the loser shall guard by the door, how about that?”
