Three days later, Gu Mengmeng headed back to Saint Nazaire.
Amongst all the tribesmen from Saint Nazaire who rushed here during the attack of Cole, all of them left with Gu Mengmeng except for Oakley and Barete.
A few tribesmen from the snow fox tribe wanted to follow Gu Mengmeng back to Saint Nazaire but Lea used the two stone tablets to keep them behind.
Sixteen precious females including Maya and Sandy, eighteen big families and a few single males who had not mated yet walked out of Sauder’s main door in a mighty formation with great strength and vigor.
Gu Mengmeng turned her head back and saw Oakley, Barete and the snake beasts Wabei sent over standing by the entrance gazing at them like abandoned dogs.
Gu Mengmeng sighed and turned her head back.
Elvis tightened his arm around her waist and asked, “Are you worried?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and said, “Barete is just a third-level beast, if he really faces Cole, he won’t be able to even protect himself, how can he protect Oakley? I still think that it’s….too risky.”
Elvis asked her, “Should we send someone to the Snake King Valley and call Wabei over to protect them secretly?”
Gu Mengmeng thought over it for a moment before she shook her head and rejected the idea, “If Wabei is present, Cole won’t even dare to appear. Moreover, with Wabei’s temper….I’m scared that Barete and Oakley will die in Wabei’s hands before Cole appears.”
Lea walked to Elvis and held Gu Mengmeng’s little hand in his, saying, “If you’re still worried, I’ll call both of them over to return to Saint Nazaire with us and Sauder will be handed over to those old fellows. If Cole’s motive is to snatch Sauder back, I guess their absence will be more advantageous to Cole.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, “Cole clearly knows that I had figured out that Burke came to Sauder upon his instigation. If I’m not the least defensive… this will only attract his suspicion.”
Elvis said slowly, “Is being too perfect a loophole….too?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and did not say a word. She just calculated in her heart once again and tried to think through the details more clearly to tackle the problem.
The speed of the rest was a lot slower than Elvis, Lea and Gu Mengmeng.
Females were too pampered so they could not stand traveling for long distances. Although they were better this time after having experienced it once, a whole morning of rushing about resulted in them whining and complaining.
Gu Mengmeng was not anxious in returning back to Saint Nazaire too so she found a better spot in the forest to take an afternoon break.
The males went out to hunt while the females gathered together around Gu Mengmeng. Their respective partners could only sit by the boundaries of the crowd to protect the females after not being able to squeeze beside their own females.
And even Elvis and Lea…..were being pushed out by those females.
Gu Mengmeng threw them a smile to set their hearts at ease and then sat in the crowd of females to start chatting with them as a way to pacify their emotions.
“Mighty messenger, I heard from Sandy regarding the story between you and Yoo Sijin but I’m still very curious….can you tell us once more? The person who raised this request was Mandy, the First Beauty that Gu Mengmeng specially picked.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and shook her head, saying, “All of you have heard of that Yoo Sijin story so many times already, are you girls still not sick of it?”
Mandy’s eyes brightened and she huddled closer to Gu Mengmeng, asking, “Does the mighty messenger mean that…..she has more stories to tell us?”
Gu Mengmeng laughed and could only nod her head upon seeing the eighteen pairs of glistering bright eyes filled with anticipation. She started, “Yeah, I’ll tell a story to all of you. This story starts off with this fish falling in love with a flying bird.”
