The white mist gradually thickened and that family theater-sized screen was once again covered up.
Gu Mengmeng stood up and stretched out lazily. She turned to look at the Beast Deity. “Closing off the entire mall to go shopping… tsk tsk tsk. That Snakel is behaving in such a nouveau riche manner.”
The Beast Deity laughed. “That’s because he also has your memories. He knew you especially liked to read those novels with domineering CEO characters. So he memorized all those passages which you liked, and used the past 18 years to construct each and every scenario, just waiting to make each scene a dream come true for you after meeting you.”
“Novels with domineering CEO characters… haha I don’t even remember that myself.” Gu Mengmeng chuckled with her head lowered. She had indeed been a novel fanatic. She often spent her free time reading all sorts novels with domineering CEO characters. But since being transported to the Beast World, she no longer thought about the contents or passages of those novels.
But Snakel, who now possessed her memories, had remembered every single detail in her mind, even those that she herself had forgotten.
To him, every second spent waiting for her was long and torturous. He needed to do something related to her so as to calm the wild thoughts racing through his mind. Otherwise… ha, he might have just rushed into a certain hospital and kidnapped a certain newborn baby girl.
But if he did that, he would have just gotten someone who looked like Gu Mengmeng. A Gu Mengmeng without her own unique life experiences and memories would not be a complete Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng no longer inquired after Snakel’s matters, and didn’t mention Wabei’s request to send him over again. She just shifted her gaze and asked about something else, “Stray beasts… will they have the chance to become partners?”
The Beast Deity rose and stood beside Gu Mengmeng. “Do you mean Elvis’ parents?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded. She did not deny it.
The Beast Deity’s eye held a profound glint. “You are not angry even though you know what they did to Elvis? You still want to help them?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “It’s not that I am not angry. But compared to my anger, my heart aches for my man even more. It might not be a strange thing to kill one’s parents in the Beast World, but it is still an overly-depressing act in my world. I don’t wish for my man to be burdened by such a nightmare. Moreover…”
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head and chuckled. “Lea’s parents are already dead. My parents… are not worth mentioning. If I could, I wish to give Elvis a happy and complete family. It is a selfish act on my part… but a sincere one.”
After keeping silent for a second, the Beast Deity suddenly smiled and caressed Gu Mengmeng head. “You know what? You are really quite different from Wang Xiaoxin.”
Gu Mengmeng possessed Snakel’s memories of his own father. As a result, she had a good understanding of Wang Xiaoxin’s way of doing things.
He ruled with an iron fist and set down clear rules for reward and punishment. The main theme behind his rule was “An eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. If we repaid enmity with kindness, what can we repay kindness with?”
Gu Mengmeng couldn’t say that Wang Xiaoxin’s method was completely wrong. But everyone had their own way of living. Everyone had their own compulsions.
Wang Xiaoxin had fought desperately to “go back”, while she persevered to create a “family”.
Gu Mengmeng smiled. “We have always been different people. In this world, everyone is unique, isn’t that so?”
The Beast Deity nodded. “It’s not impossible for stray beasts to regain the right to be partners. But it is very difficult to do so. The criteria are extremely stringent.”
