“Isn’t the reason why Sauder doesn’t lack water during the dry season because they have water wells? Gu Mengmeng continued Lea’s sentences.
Lea couldn’t conceal the amusement on his face. “How could I have forgotten. You are the Messenger of the Beast Deity and can appeal to the Beast Deity to bestow upon us the Eye of Life.
Gu Mengmeng rolled her eyes. The previous Messenger of the Beast Deity had given everything in this world names which felt so immature.
Fire was just fire, why did it have to be called Flame Devil.
A well was a well, why did it have to be called the Eye of Life.
Elvis stiffened as he looked at Gu Mengmeng. “We… can also have our own Eye of Life?”
It meant a water source that would never go dry. The drought season would never again be a test of survival for them.
Gu Mengmeng sighed and held Elvis’ face in her hands as she stared into his eyes. “I am different from Wang Xiaoxin. I particularly hate making everything sound so mysterious and fantastical. Let’s be serious. That thing is called a water well, can you remember that?”
Elvis supported Gu Mengmeng’s tiny butt with one hand while his other hand held the back of her head. He drew her face towards his lips and kissed her.
The clear, blue pupils were full of pride and doting. “You always manage to surprise me. I wonder how many secrets do you still hold.”
Gu Mengmeng blushed from being kissed. She intoned mischievously. “I have many secrets and I won’t tell you any. I won’t tell you any, I won’t tell you any.”
Elvis saw that Gu Mengmeng was so happy at her own little mischief that he didn’t pursue.
They had a lifetime to slowly get to know each other, and for him to discover more of her little secrets.
While Elvis and Gu Mengmeng were flirting with each other, Lea was meticulously recalling the geographical landscape of Saint Nazaire. “Saint Nazaire has about seven to eight areas where the vegetation remains lush during the yearly dry season. Should we go to the nearest one to take a look?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “We should go to the lowest area first.”
Gu Mengmeng was unable to explain to them why she would know such a mysterious skill.
You may not believe it even if I told you. A girl living in the city and running around doing various odd jobs—how did she know the trick to digging a well?
Yeah, this was a mysterious question but the answer was very unique.
Gu Mengmeng got this knowledge from a romance novel…
A powerful female warrior god passed through time to an unknown era, bringing with her an abused mother and a weak brother. She then developed the family fortunes and met a handsome boy. The trick to digging a well was mentioned somewhere in that story.
Gu Mengmeng was acting in accordance to that author’s instructions, and not just plucking things out of thin air.
Lea lead Gu Mengmeng and Elvis to an area covered in dense vegetation. As the dry season had already begun, the surrounding vegetation had already shown some signs of yellowing. However, the plants within this area continued to flourish.
Gu Mengmeng nodded and looked around. She plucked off a thick, sturdy branch of about 1.8 meters in length.
She placed the tip of the branch on the ground and drew a circle in the dirt. Gu Mengmeng then patted off her hands. “Go and get some men over to dig a hole in this circle I have marked out.”
“Alright.” Lea answered before taking Gu Mengmeng over from Elvis. He covered one of her ears with his hand, while pressing her other ear against his chest.
“Arhwoo!” Elvis’ howl resonated across the entire Saint Nazaire.
