Wabei ignored Gu Mengmeng’s jibe and just patted himself off as he stood up. He raised his brows when he spotted Cole standing behind her. “Eh, why are you keeping all sorts of garbage in your own home? This piece of trash… a stray beast and a crippled one at that. You can stand the sight of him?”
Gu Mengmeng held her cheek. “Are you blind? Which part of me looks like I want to see him?”
Wabei nodded in agreement and said thoughtfully. “I guess so. With the excellent standards you inherited from Snakel, you can’t possibly fall for such a lousy specimen. So what’s the story behind him? Why is he sticking around so close to you? Won’t that puppy in your family mind?”
Puppy…
It was true that before the 800 year old Wabei, the 16 year old Elvis was only a puppy.
But it made her feel very uncomfortable. She was 19 years old and already felt like an old cougar preying on a younger man. And Wabei kept adding salt to her wounds by repeatedly reminding her of the age gap.
Gu Mengmeng frowned and sighed. “Little shit, I feel that my earlier slap was too light. Why don’t we… have a huge 300-round fight. What do you say?”
Wabei didn’t know Gu Mengmeng was affected by his calling Elvis a puppy. He just shrugged. “I am used to being beaten up, so getting bashed for 300 rounds is nothing to me… but if your hand becomes sore from all that hitting, Snakel will blame me for tiring you out.”
Gu Mengmeng clutched onto Wabei’s forearm with both hands and gazed up at him. “But I really feel like hitting someone now. What can I do?”
Actually, she wanted to grip his shoulder.
But the height difference… was a very real and cruel reality.
Wabei pointed at Cole. “Hit him then. He’s a masochist standing right there and ready for you?”
Gu Mengmeng turned to glance at Cole. She thought that if she really hit him… she might lose control and kill him.
If she really killed him, Chixuan would definitely blame her.
And then she would really lose that son.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “It’s too disgusting to hit a cockroach with my bare hands. I can’t do it.”
Wabei chortled. “Why do I feel like you only hit people you deem worthy? Should I feel grateful?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded profoundly, while Wabei grunted dismissively. The two of them then walked back together, side by side. Wabei updated her on the situation in the Snake King valley after the end of the winter season.
When Snakel ruled over the Snake King valley, no one dared to enter the place.
But this was the first winter since Snakel left and some of the more daring beasts tried to attack the Snake King valley.
The snake beasts needed to hibernate during the winter, and were all in very vulnerable states. Those intruders sneaked into the Snake King valley and found a few hibernating caves. They wanted to eat the slumbering snake to enhance their own capabilities.
Well, several snake beasts did die, but those intruders also didn’t get to leave alive.
This was because although the snake beasts were dormant and couldn’t counterattack, they were still highly poisonous.
Those fools all died within minutes after eating the snake beasts. Consumed by the venom, they had bled from all orifices and turned completely black.
After the winter ended, Wabei ordered for the bodies of those poisoned intruders to be sent back to their tribe. Thereafter… that tribe vanished from the face of the earth.
