Gu Mengmeng was at wits’ end as she looked at her slim arms and legs. She whined, “Sigh…..what if my things get snatched away one day…..is my only solution admitting my unlucky streak?”
Elvis sniggered and said with his fierce gaze, “I would like to see who dares to snatch your things away.”
Gu Mengmeng felt a warm sensation in her heart and she instantly transformed into her fan-girl mode. With worship written all over her face, she hugged onto Elvis’s neck and landed a kiss on his face with a smack. Then, she said, “Hubby, you’re so manly, too handsome too handsome~~”
Elvis was brought to laughter by Gu Mengmeng as he threw the beast horn to Lea before carrying Gu Mengmeng to a spot far away from the fireplace so as to prevent the heat from getting to her.
Lea received the beast horn, then used a large bowl to scoop some water and started cleaning it. On the other hand, Auretin carried the gigantic beast while heading outside to handle his prey. The teamwork between the three males did not require any words and they did not even need a gaze.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and smiled. “If the chambers of the emperor’s imperial concubines are as harmonious as you guys, the emperor will live such a happy life.”
Elvis tilted his head and asked, “You want to be the emperor?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, “I don’t dare to imagine it as I wish. Do you think that living with so much blessing is such an easy thing to enjoy? It appears to be an easy-going atmosphere but in fact, it’s full of scheming against others, unexpected miserable failures, people rising up the ranks after one falls and ruthless bloodshed. Tsk tsk tsk, luckily I transmigrated here. If I transmigrated into a drama of imperial fights and struggles, oh my, I don’t think I can even survive past two episodes.”
Elvis didn’t quite understand Gu Mengmeng’s calculation units, what exactly was the concept of two episodes, he could not explain it clearly. He just liked to see how Gu Mengmeng beaming with joy so he followed her words and asked, “That…..other than the emperor, what kind of people can enjoy a blessed life?”
Gu Mengmeng pouted and said, “Actually, ancient men can have around three to four number of wives. Other than noble descendants with imperial authority, rich merchants can also have a bunch of pretty concubines to form his family. Besides those wives with a title, they will also raise many performers for their enjoyment. When they leave their houses, that’s even worse. Seven to eight bodyguards will follow them from behind and they will beat up those whom they dislike, that’s considered as acting as a tyrant while oppressing the people. Tsk tsk tsk… although it’s immoral, it feels quite good and impressive thinking about it, right?”
Elvis thought for a while and pointed at his own nose, saying, “Pretty concubine.”
Gu Mengmeng, “…?!”
Elvis then pointed at Lea and said, “Performer.”
Gu Mengmeng, “…?!”
Elvis then pointed at Auretin who had just came back with a bunch of cut meat pieces and said, “Bodyguard.”
Gu Mengmeng, “…?!”
Elvis smiled and rubbed Gu Mengmeng’s little head, asking with a genial expression, “Rich merchant, who do you want to hit? After we finish our meal later, we three will accompany you to oppress the people, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng burst out into laughter, “Pfft….ha ha ha ha….”
Gu Mengmeng laughed so much until she bent over with her smile spreading across her entire face, her eyes not visible at all. Slapping her thigh, she exclaimed, “You three? Pretty concubine? Performer? And even bodyguard?”
Elvis nodded his head seriously and said, “If you don’t have enough bodyguards, including the ones from Saint Nazaire and those who just joined us…..yeah, there should be seven to eight of them.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her hands and said while laughing, “Auretin the fellow who came to share meals can still forcefully act as a bodyguard but a pretty concubine and a performer are fem…females, do you get it?! Ha ha ha ha…”
Elvis frowned and asked, “Is a rich merchant a male?”
