The Beast Deity shook his head and said, “She’s a professional psychologist, even if I was the one who lied in front of her, she could see through it with one glance. So, Snake being the key was true.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned and asked only after remaining silent for a while, “So, did she return to her world?”
The Beast Deity stared at Gu Mengmeng quietly before shaking his head. “She stayed here for Snake’s Father.”
Gu Mengmeng widened her eyes in astonishment at the Beast Deity. Frowning, she asked, “Didn’t she think that everything was just a hallucination? She could even bear to leave her own son, how would she….”
The Beast Deity was still smiling with a tint of disappointment in his smile. He asked, “Are you interested in hearing about what happened after Snake was born?”
Gu Mengmeng bit her lower lip before nodding.
The Beast Deity said, “Snake’s memory should’ve stopped after his Father threw him into the winter lake, right?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded, admitting to what he just said.
The Beast Deity continued, “His Father threw the snake egg into the winter lake right in front of Wang Xiaoxin and told her that he was different from the other males. He was unable to let her leave him and wallow in sadness alone just because of her desire. He told Wang Xiaoxin that since she provoked him, she need not dream of ditching him in her entire lifetime. If Wang Xiaoxin wants to return back to her world, she can do it only if she brings him along or kills him.”
Gu Mengmeng looked down and stayed silent for quite some time as she thought of her black wolf.
He said something similar before too.
If this is a dream, please kill me before it ends, don’t force me to face a world without you because it will be more tortuous than death.
The Beast Deity paused for a while and did not continue any further. He just stared at Gu Mengmeng, looking as if he was deep in thought while giving her some time to slowly recall.
After a long time, Gu Mengmeng spoke softly, “Since she thought that everything was just her hallucination after hypnosis, as long as she wakes up, Snake’s Father would definitely disappear. Nobody had the ability to bring an imaginary person to the real world. If Wang Xiaoxin’s a rational person, she would definitely think of this point. She can neither bring him along nor kill him because she did not bear so she decided to stay?”
The Beast Deity laughed lightly and shook his head, saying, “No, she decided to……kill him.”
Gu Mengmeng was dumbfounded as she looked up at the Beast Deity, asking him, “Didn’t you clearly say that she stayed behind for Snake’s Father?”
The Beast Deity gave Gu Mengmeng a smile, asking her to hold her horses as he continued, “She plucked out the scale piece protecting the heart of Snake’s Father with her bare hands and then used a sharp claw to pierce through his chest. His blood splashed all over Wang Xiaoxin’s face and she just stared deadly at the bloody hole in his cheat and her blood-stained hands. On the other hand, Snake’s Father smiled and kissed her tears while hugging her. He told her, ‘This is good too, at least…..I didn’t lose you even until death’.”
Gu Mengmeng’s eyes widened as she could not say a word.
After inheriting Snake’s memories, she knew how willful males in the Beast World were towards love.
As compared to death, they were more afraid of their loved females getting injured.
Back then, when Barete and Quentin were kneeling on the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment, they rather become dried beasts and have their skins peeled instead of moving an inch because they were afraid that their loved ones would receive punishment.
And after that, Snake was like that too.
Although Ellie’s last attack was her own venom, Snake had the ability to defuse it.
