Gu Mengmeng sighed and did not have other solutions so she could only break the fruit into pieces and feed Snake one by one.
Snake ate them with great appetite and looked like he was in a pretty good mood.
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips and tested him out, “Snake…”
“Yes?” This was the first time Gu Mengmeng took the initiative to call his name and this was also the first time he felt his name sounds nice.
Gu Mengmeng fiddled with her fingers and asked softly, “You agreed to help me save my sons….but why hadn’t I seen them?”
Snake’s face turned cold and he looked at Gu Mengmeng with the corners of his eyes, questioning, “Are you thinking of your wild men?”
Gu Mengmeng sighed and said, “How many times must I tell you? Those are my sons, my flesh and blood, they’re not wild men.”
Snake was unhappy as he frowned and said, “I said before that besides me, all males around you are wild men. If you dare to retort, I’ll eat them up.”
Gu Mengmeng was at wit ends too and she could only hold back her explanation forcefully. Seeing how Snake gave her sons the title of ‘wild men’ stubbornly, she said helplessly, “Then where exactly are they? How are they now?”
Snake’s face was cold but he could not accept the worry in Gu Mengmeng’s eyes. He slowly spat a sentence out, “As long as I’m present, she wouldn’t dare to carelessly make her move.”
Gu Mengmeng asked, “Who?”
Snake asked back, “Do you not know who kidnapped your sons?”
Gu Mengmeng remained silent for a while, “Cole…Ellie?”
Snake thought over it for a moment and commented, “Oh, so she’s called Ellie.”
Gu Mengmeng questioned him, “You don’t even know her name and you dare to confirm she’ll listen to you and not hurt my sons?”
Snake gave a light smile and said with his higher authority’s confidence and calmness, “She’s a snake beast while I’m the Snake King. In this world, no snake has the courage to go against my orders. Submission….is a nature in their bones.”
Gu Mengmeng took two steps forward timidly and tugged onto Snake’s arm, saying, “Then….ask her to return my sons to me.”
Snake sniggered and said, “Do you really think your wild men are safer by my side as compared to Ellie’s?”
Gu Mengmeng was taken aback as she suddenly recalled how Snake cruelly beat Elvis up previously.
Elvis was at least a fifth-level orc too but he could not even stand a fight in front of Snake. If that tail was whacked on the bodies of Hede and the rest, Gu Mengmeng would not suspect even the slightest bit that the fillings of those four buns would ‘drip out’ on the spot.
Snake ruffled Gu Mengmeng’s head and said, “Not mentioning them in front of me is the best way to protect them. If I catch you worrying for them again…..I’ll eat them up to spare all the trouble later.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and waved her hands, saying, “No no no, I’m not worried, not worried at all…”
Snake raised his brow and ordered, “Smile.”
“Ha….ha ha…..” Gu Mengmeng grinned, helplessness written all over her face.
Snake turned his head away and said, “How ugly.”
Gu Mengmeng sighed helplessly and thought to herself, “If I’m so ugly, why don’t you return my sons and husband to me, I can ensure that I’ll leave the Snake King Valley in a mellow manner immediately and never pollute your eyes again.”
But what a pity, Gu Coward only dared to think about it in her heart and did not have the nerve to say her thoughts out loud.
Snake stood there quietly with his head turned aside for such a long time that Gu Mengmeng almost believed that he was a statue. Rubbing her eyes, she rotated her neck around to warm it up.
“Why are you turning your head?” Snake straightened his neck awkwardly but the gaze from the corners of his eyes was still fixated on Gu Mengmeng’s face.
