Gu Mengmeng loosened Sandy’s grip and asked her to stay back and wait.
Sandy nodded compliantly. She continued to watch Gu Mengmeng with her neck stretched out.
Gu Mengmeng walked to the side of the well and patted the massive rock. She would have immediately given up in the past, but now…
With one smack, that huge rock flew far away and landed on the ground with a thud, creating a great dust cloud.
Gu Mengmeng peeped into the well but couldn’t see anything. A jet of water shot out.
Thanks to Snake, Gu Mengmeng’s reflexes had become extremely agile and she ducked slightly to the side. In that startling moment, the person in the well also saw Gu Mengmeng’s face.
After a moment of silence, a careful voice came out of the well. “Are you… the Messenger of the Beast Deity?”
There was someone there?
Gu Mengmeng’s first impression was that someone must have fallen in.
Had this become a palace drama of the Qing dynasty? Using a rock to seal up the well after throwing someone in? To destroy evidence of a body?
But that also didn’t seem right. Everyone in Saint Nazaire and the surrounding tribes viewed this well as a precious lifeline. There were so many ways to kill a man. Who would desecrate this well just for that purpose?
“Who are you?” Gu Mengmeng asked without responding to the person’s question.
Slowly, a head surfaced. Bright eyes carrying a cautious glint surveyed Gu Mengmeng from the edge of the well. After a long while, he finally spoke. “May I know… if you are the Messenger of the Beast Deity?”
Gu Mengmeng had seen countless handsome men since coming to the Beast World. The three marks on her already symbolized three drop-dead gorgeous men. Even so, Gu Mengmeng fell into a trance as she gazed into those eyes.
It had nothing to do with sexual desire or other related passions, it was because…
It was as if through those eyes, one could see the entire Milky Way flowing right before you. Completely unsullied and without the slightest bit of pollutant.
It was so pristine that one could not resist the urge to protect it, to not allow any filth to taint its purity.
It went without saying that Gu Mengmeng was willing to believe that the owner of such a pair of eyes could not be a bad person.
Gu Mengmeng’s voice softened a few degrees as she replied in a coaxing tone. “Yes, I am the Messenger of the Beast Deity, Gu Mengmeng. You? Who are you and why are you in the well?”
The owner of that pair of eyes reached out two hands to pull himself up the walls of the well. His small head emerged and with a twist of his lips, he replied, “I am Fei Rui, Prince of the Mermaid Tribe.”
Fei Rui’s face was the kind that made one feel like protecting him. It was no exaggeration to say that Fei Rui triggered Gu Mengmeng’s maternal instincts even more than the four little ones. Bright, intelligent eyes, a round, pert nose and pouting, pink lips. He looked just like a mistreated child. With his round baby face, he gave off a cute and adorable vibe.
Mermaid…
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “Are you unable to come out onto the ground because you have no legs?”
Fei Rui was slightly taken aback and shook his head. “I am a second-level Beast and can morph into human form. But it would be in contempt of the deity’s authority if I were to step out without the Messenger’s permission… so I don’t dare to.”
Gu Mengmeng turned into a doting parent when faced with Fei Rui’s eyes. She reached out to him and grinned. “I permit you to enter Saint Nazaire. Come out, Fei Rui.”
