The edges of Gu Mengmeng’s lips twitched as she saw the two gleaming venomous fangs, feeling like she was about to break down on the inside.
Watching the fruit in her hand…
To feed? Or not to feed? That is the question…
“Ah!” The demon seemed to get impatient with waiting. His eyebrows furrowed slightly, writing “Feed me or I will kill you” clearly in his eyes!
Gu Mengmeng instantly delivered the fruit to the demon’s mouth. He wanted to mimic the way Gu Mengmeng bit into one of them, but the moment his fangs touched the skin of the fruit, the fruit burst immediately, splattering its juices all over his face. The demon frowned and wanted to explode in anger, but he saw Gu Mengmeng bursting out in laughter.
Somehow, his anger simmered from her bright smile. The demon stretched his tongue out, gently licking the juices on the corner of his lips…
He frowned, what is this dull taste?
She actually liked such a taste… How weird.
However…
While it was weird, it did not seem so unlikeable.
Gu Mengmeng held in her laughter, holding the remaining fruits asking, “Mighty King, do you still want more?”
The demon looked away coldly, “You eat them yourself.”
Gu Mengmeng did not know why, perhaps it was because the demon did not look as scary when he was not transformed into a snake, or it could be because of how funny he looked with the juices splattered all over his face, or that he did not do anything to harm her despite being so awkward. However, she was slowly letting her guard down. She felt that perhaps the demon was just more socially awkward, and probably is not that bad in nature despite being awkward and dangerous.
Or perhaps…
If she made him happy, he would return Elvis, Lea and her three sons back to her?
That thought finally brought a tiny smile to Gu Mengmeng’s face.
The demon had been watching her with his peripheral vision. Seeing her smile made the edges of his lips raise unknowingly as well.
Gu Mengmeng ate many fruits, but there were still countless remaining on that tree. She wanted to take some back and keep for the next day so they would not go to waste, but the demon refused to let go of her hand. When she revealed even a tiny sign of struggle, he would use his cold expression to scare her “Dare to escape and I will eat you”.
Helpless, Gu Mengmeng stared at the tree of fruits with a face that spelled heartache. She kept turning back to look at the tree, but was eventually dragged back into the cave by the demon.
The demon searched for a flat surface to lie down, then brought Gu Mengmeng into his arms. Gu Mengmeng did not dare to move, and the demon frowned, “Sleep by yourself, or I poison and make you faint?”
Gu Mengmeng immediately shut her eyes tightly and wanted to sleep right there and then. However, the more she wanted to sleep, the less she was able to. Eventually, she sneakily opened one of her eyes, whispering, “I fainted for too long in the day, so now I can’t sleep…”
The demon furrowed his brows, “No, sleep.”
Dejected, Gu Mengmeng reached her arm out to the demon, “Poison me then, but please be soft, I’m scared of pain…”
The demon did not say a word, only using his other hand to press down Gu Mengmeng’s arm, then slowly placing his face against Gu Mengmeng’s neck…
Gu Mengmeng thought: Whaaat? Vampire PLAY?
A slight prick and Gu Mengmeng instantly felt numbness. Her body shivered uncontrollably, followed by nauseousness from the world spinning, as if her body had lost balance and was circling in mid air. Gu Mengmeng only felt a sense of irritation, wanting to vomit but unable to control her own body. After cursing out in her heart, she finally lost her consciousness and “fell asleep”.
