Once the plan was fixed, there would be no more hesitation.
After all, they were really pressed for time.
Gu Mengmeng handed her three children over to Sandy, even though she was truly reluctant to do so.
However, Sandy was very happy. She felt that Gu Mengmeng let her take care of her kids only because she trusted her. This meant that Gu Mengmeng still treated her as a friend.
The moment those three young ones knew their mother was going to get the “ransom” needed for Chixuan, they obediently promised to stay home and train, and to patiently await her return.
Elvis and Lea handed the management of all matters concerning the tribe over to Auretin and Collin.
This was a risky move as these two had the same attitude towards certain things, and that was they always preferred action over words.
However, Collin’s character had improved a lot since getting a partner. Auretin had also been the Messenger’s guard for so long that most things should not be a problem as long as nothing incited his temper.
Meanwhile, everyone knew these two did not have good tempers and would not dare to create much trouble.
Gu Mengmeng, Elvis and Lea hit the road once everything was prepared. At the same time, they had Ian acting as support and he traveled by air. Meanwhile, Fei Rui had jumped back into the well and returned to the sea to prepare for their arrival.
Gu Mengmeng had traveled this route from Saint Nazaire to the Snake King valley before. However, this time, her heart had undergone an earth-shattering change. Walking along this same road, she felt as if a whole generation had passed by and she was looking at the same things through different eyes.
Several days later, Gu Mengmeng stood at the entrance to the Snake King valley. Strangely, she felt as if… she had come home.
This feeling was probably triggered by Snake’s memories. After all, having spent a thousand years here, this was the place he was most familiar with.
Stepping in, the rustling sounds from both sides didn’t make her stop.
They had just arrived at the entrance to Snake’s cave when she felt an oncoming attack from behind.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t retaliate but just turned around and grinned at the venomous fangs right in front of her face. She raised her brows and waved. “Hi! Do you want to bite me? If so, do it quickly and don’t drip any saliva on me. It’s disgusting.”
With his mouth wide open, Wabei felt rather confused. What was this stupid female smiling about? Why was she not immediately giving him one tight slap across the face?
Why was she not acting according to script?!
He felt rather awkward with his mouth gaping like that.
Turning into human form, Wabei looked at Gu Mengmeng with disdain. He frowned. “If you are not going to fight me, why have you come?”
Gu Mengmeng laughed happily before sending Wabei flying off with one smack.
Wabei crashed into a tree with a bang. That tree collapsed as if it had twisted into two.
Wabei jumped up in rage and charged back towards Gu Mengmeng. He pointed at her nose angrily. “What are you doing?!”
Gu Mengmeng shrugged. “A sneak attack. All’s fair in a fight and this is war.”
Wabei was turning circles in rage. “Ambush me if you must, why did you destroy that tree?! He did not allow for any tree to be destroyed. He said not to…”
Gu Mengmeng laughed. “He said not to destroy any fruit tree, as I like them. That earlier tree was obviously not a fruit tree and I didn’t like it that much. So don’t worry, he won’t blame you.”
Wabei gnashed his teeth and suddenly felt completely helpless…
He really did not know how to handle this female. Gu Mengmeng was the greatest challenge that Snake had left him.
“Speak. I am sure you didn’t come here just to destroy that tree?”
