After lunch, Auretin was in charge of cleaning up, while Sandy left after finally being unable to bear Lea’s and Elvis’ black faces.
Thereafter, Fei Rui sat in a corner faced with a grinning Gu Mengmeng and the grim-looking Elvis and Lea standing on either side of her. He felt like he was standing before a tribunal.
Gu Mengmeng always had patience with beautiful children. Smiling from ear to ear, she said, “Alright, now tell me properly. What happened to your sister? Why do you need me to save her?”
At the mention of his sister, Fei Rui’s face was traced with worry. Twisting his lips, he replied, “My sister is the most beautiful Princess in the Mermaid Tribe. She is intelligent and kind, which incurred Dora’s jealousy. Dora stole the Giant Fish Tribe’s treasure and made my sister the scapegoat. As a result, the leader of the Giant Fish Tribe kidnapped my sister…”
Gu Mengmeng wrinkled her brows as she sighed.
A woman’s jealousy could sometimes be really crazy and without reason.
“What do you want me to do? If this is in the sea… even my powers would be limited. Elvis might be a fifth-level beast but he also cannot exhibit his full capabilities there.” Gu Mengmeng wanted to help but the reality of the situation could not be ignored.
If the person with the power of the Beast King was Snakel and not herself, she could easily agree to Fei Rui’s request.
If Snakel paid a visit to the ocean, the Giant Fish Tribe might just obediently hand over the sister without any need for him to make any moves.
Even though she now possessed Snakel’s powers, she was not a snake. Breathing and fighting underwater would be a major restriction on her.
She might be able to kill in a crazed frenzy, but to save someone…
Gu Mengmeng did not have that ability yet.
She did not wish to give Fei Rui any false hopes only to shatter them after. It was best to just tell the truth now.
Fei Rui shook his head. “Although I really wish to save my sister, I do not want the great Messenger to risk her own life. You are the hope of the entire Beast World and no mishap must befall you.”
These words pleased Elvis and Lea.
Their animosity towards him lessened a little. Even the temperature in the cave rose a few degrees.
“Then…” Gu Mengmeng prompted Fei Rui to continue.
Fei Rui clenched his little fists and placed them on his own knees. He looked up with resolution in his bright eyes. “So I hope the great Messenger can accept me as your partner. In this way, I can become the link between you and the tribes of the ocean. By then, the Giant Fish Tribe will definitely return my sister to me.”
Gu Mengmeng understood Fei Rui’s thinking.
He was offering himself in an allied marriage for his sister. The Kiss of the Ocean would be the betrothal gift.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head as she smiled. She rubbed Fei Rui’s little head. “So you are planning to use my name to impose your will on others?”
Fei Rui was stunned as his face turned red with guilt. He bit his lower lip and nodded with reluctance.
“Dora went into hiding once she knew the truth had been exposed. The Mermaid Tribe has searched everywhere but the ocean is just too big. We can’t find her anywhere. I have gone to explain to the Giant Fish Tribe but they refused to listen. They insisted that it was my sister who stole their treasure… I really do not have any other solution. I just wish to rescue my sister…”
