Elvis rubbed on Gu Mengmeng’s head, smiled gently and said, “Your decision saved my life. Thank you, your majesty.”
Gu Mengmeng sniffed, before leaning into Elvis’s arms and closed her eyes in satisfaction.
Snake went up, grabbed Gu Mengmeng from Elvis’s arms and said, “Alright, you two can leave now.”
Gu Mengmeng threw a fit by kicking her legs as she said, “No, you can’t do this, I want to be with my hubby!”
Snake pulled Gu Mengmeng to the front of his face, stared at her with vertical pupils and coldly said, “Are you challenging my patience?”
Gu Mengmeng shriveled up and lost all courage.
Before this she had been feeling extremely sullen and forgot all about how scary Snake was when she threw a tantrum. But now that she had calmed down, she could not continue being as reckless as before.
Elvis and Lea did not want Gu Mengmeng to be troubled. They had no choice but to walk to her, holding her hands, kiss on it and say, “Xiao Meng, taking good care of yourself is the most important thing, you understand?”
Snake stared at Gu Mengmeng’s hand that was kissed by Elvis with disgust, he pulled it back for a bit, before directly hugging Gu Mengmeng into his arms. Snake had a black face with the look of ‘I’ll eat you up if you don’t leave now’ as he glared at Elvis and Lea.
The two of them had no choice, they had never been as coward ever since they founded Saint Nazaire.
But Snake was the Beast King…
After Elvis and Lea left, Gu Mengmeng was unwilling to open her mouth again, she just lay by the fire quietly with her back facing Snake.
It took Snake one thousand years to get used to being alone, but Gu Mengmeng only took three days to make him used to the racket.
In the cave with just the two of them, once Gu Mengmeng stopped talking, Snake suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.
He sat behind Gu Mengmeng, looked at the back of her head carefully, cleared his throat and asked, “Do you want to go out and pick fruits with me?”
Gu Mengmeng replied, “No… You would start kicking the trees all of a sudden and the endangered species would be gone in a matter of days.”
Snake continued, “What about…”
Gu Mengmeng said, “I don’t want to talk…”
Snake was silent for a moment and he felt a little depressed.
He had already used to having her by his side, even forgetting how he lived through the thousand years alone.
But he had nothing that she liked.
All he knew that could cheer her up… were the two males.
Gu Mengmeng could also feel that the atmosphere in the cave was a little tense, but she was in an extremely bad mood at the moment and did not want to bother about it. She decided to cover her head with a hide and continue sleeping.
The next morning when Gu Mengmeng woke up, she saw Snake sitting in front of him, staring at her with a face full of ‘I am very unhappy, quickly come and take care of me’.
After the nap, Gu Mengmeng’s emotions had been totally calmed down. So she sat up straight with her legs crossed and she asked, “Still angry?”
Snake shook his head and asked, “Why didn’t you want to go back?”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, she kept quiet for a while, looked down and let out a bitter laugh, before saying, “Because in that world, there was nobody waiting for me to go back.”
Snake was silent for a moment, before slowly opening his mouth and he said, “That time, she was willing to do anything in order to go back… She collected the divine artifacts for transmigrating at all costs, by fair means or foul… In the end, she suffered a defeat on the verge of victory.”
With that, Snake looked up at Gu Mengmeng and said in an even and serious tone, “If she could make the same decision as you back then, perhaps…”
