“Yeah.” Gu Mengmeng did not raise any question and just replied one word.
If Sauder did not have anything going on, Ian should be coming back together with the three little ones and Sandy and her family.
That way, Elvis would just directly inform her and she need not go Sauder again.
If the situation at Sauder became serious and something big happened to Sandy and the three little ones, she need not head to Sauder either.
So, Ian must had came back with neither good nor bad news.
Sandy and the three little ones were safe but not free.
Ha, Cole’s original motive was to force her to Sauder so he would naturally calculate things well.
But she did not understand why Cole had to lure her into Sauder. Was it just to rekindle their old ties? Their relationship was not that good to begin with, right?
During lunch, Auretin, whom Gu Mengmeng had not seen in a while, appeared with his prey right on the dot. Looking at his pair of resentful eyes, Gu Mengmeng could not help but scoop him two more pieces of meat to make up for his mental trauma.
Their families went for a trip to the deep ocean and when they came back, they were held back for a few days in the stray beasts camp. After returning to Saint Nazaire, they delayed their schedule for another two days because they had to accompany her lonely old Father to watch television. Then, after bidding farewell to Wabei, a minor incident sparked a war between her and Elvis which caused her to sleep for two more days…
When all of these added up, Auretin looked like an irritable tiger who was locked up in the cage for too long. The anger and desire for food made his entire being emit a strange but pitiful aura.
Weirdly, Gu Mengmeng felt as if she left her pet dog at home, hungry for half a month while she went on an overseas trip with her entire family. A guilt for abandoning her little pet crept up her heart.
Hey, that little animal looked a little too savage and it suffered from face-paralysis too.
After the meal, Gu Mengmeng looked at Auretin who was carrying the pot for a wash. She stretched her hand out and called, “That…”
Auretin stood up right and turned to look at Gu Mengmeng, saying, “I’ll go too.”
“Ah?” Gu Mengmeng was taken aback.
Auretin was extremely firm as he insisted, “Aren’t you guys going to Sauder? I’m going too.”
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips and appeared quite helpless. “If you leave too, Saint Nazaire’s attacking abilities will be too weak. If any danger is to appear, there’s nobody to calm the entire tribe down.”
Auretin placed the pot down before turning around to walk to Gu Mengmeng. He kneeled on the ground on one knee to stare into Gu Mengmeng’s eyes. He said in utmost seriousness, “I’m the messenger’s guard, it’s my duty to ensure your safety at all times. And…..I don’t want to eat raw meat anymore, it’s too hard to swallow.”
…
The second half of the sentence was the main point, right?
Elvis brought his arm over Gu Mengmeng’s waist and pulled her into his embrace. Nibbling on her little earlobe, he said with a deep voice, “Bring him along, I notice that Kanwu worships him a lot. When he’s present…the little ones are a lot more obedient.”
Gu Mengmeng’s head ached at the recollection of the interaction between Elvis and Kanwu.
And when she looked at how Auretin did not want to separate himself from delicacies anymore, as if Lea’s dishes were his most beloved ones, she could not help but nod her head, giving her consent, “Alright then, we can only leave Ian behind to look after our tribe.”
After arranging everyone in place, Gu Mengmeng looked back at the cave, sighing with emotions.
This was her first home after coming to the Beast World but why was she spending lesser and lesser time at home now……
As she made her way out of Saint Nazaire, Gu Mengmeng smiled faintly at the sight of how her fellow tribesmen were enthusiastically(?) preparing food for winter. At least, no female would eat her own partner due to the lack of food this winter and this was good news.
