“Any leads? Where are the items he wants?” Sandy asked.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head with a sigh. “If I had any leads, I wouldn’t have come back to Saint Nazaire but would have already gone to seek them. The key thing is… I have no idea where to look.”
Sandy thought for a moment before continuing. “Why don’t… you have others send them to you.”
Gu Mengmeng looked at Sandy dubiously.
Sandy said, “To find these few items in the vast Beast World is like searching for a needle in the haystack. Even if the entire population of Saint Nazaire heads out to help you find them, the rate of success will be very low. Why not spread the word and announce that anyone who can help you find those items, you will provide him with one year’s worth of free meals. The food from your household is so delicious that everyone will be more than happy to help you.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. She thought: One year’s worth of free meals? Only Auretin and you would be motivated by such a prize.
Nevertheless, the idea of spreading the news was feasible.
With an attractive award, someone would definitely step up to it.
This was a saying that had stood the test of time.
But what did she have that could properly motivate everyone to help?
Gu Mengmeng fell into a deep thought, but couldn’t think of anything.
Lea waved his tail and walked to Gu Mengmeng’s side. He squeezed himself between Gu Mengmeng and Sandy, and sat down. “You can use your status as the Messenger of the Beast Deity to grant one wish to anyone who can successfully present you with the five treasures.”
Elvis chuckled. “Wouldn’t you be opening a back door to welcome new family members?”
Lea lifted one finger and waved it lightly. “Although a large number of people will request to be Mengmeng’s partner, don’t forget that he must still challenge her other partners before that can happen… tsk, are there any third-level single beasts that can win you?”
Elvis snorted. “What if the one who delivers the treasures is a drop-dead gorgeous guy? What happens if Xiao Meng takes a fancy to him?”
Lea waved his own tail enchantingly. “In terms of good looks, not many can surpass me. If someone like that really appears… in order to secure my position as the best-looking in Mengmeng’s eyes, I am willing to deflower him.”
Cough…
Gu Mengmeng choked on her own saliva and started coughing.
Elvis patted her gently on the back, only to see the still-coughing Gu Mengmeng staring at Lea with a doleful face. “That’s not the right way to use the word ‘deflower’.”
Lea shrugged nonchalantly. “Regardless, with the both of us around, I want to see just who has the ability to enter that door.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “So you two are going to use me as a marriage bait? What difference is there from a love scam? It’s not right to cheat people’s feelings.”
Lea smacked his lips. “What marriage bait? You are just offering them a chance to woo you. If they cannot beat your partners, it’s because they are too weak. How can they blame you then?”
Gu Mengmeng prodded Lea’s forehead. “Nonsense.”
With a smile, Lea fell backwards to play along to Gu Mengmeng’s prod, before bouncing back to kiss her lightly on the side of her lips. He then sat back down with satisfaction and grinned at Gu Mengmeng’s blushing face.
Gu Mengmeng cleared her throat. “What if… what if the person makes a request which I cannot fulfill? Resurrection and all that…”
Lea’s voice was gentle and calm, and carried with it the power to soothe one’s nerves. “No matter what request the other party makes, Elvis and I will fulfill it. So don’t worry, go and do what you want to do. Whatever may come, just leave it to us.”
