Elvis then slowly decreased his strength and seeing how Gu Mengmengâs fair arm became red due to his embrace, guilt started creeping out in his heart. He rubbed the red mark on Gu Mengmeng gently and said, âXiao Meng, Iâm sorry.â
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and wrapped both her arms around Elvisâs neck. Lying in his arms in delight, she said, âItâs my fault for not giving you an absolute sense of security. Iâll change it in the future so......donât be angry anymore, alright?â
Elvis kissed Gu Mengmengâs forehead before he felt his heart recovering its thump. Blood started to slowly flow and nourish his entire body.
Lea did not say a word as he quietly returned to the lake. When Gu Mengmeng finally realized he was missing, he had already been soaking himself in the lake for quite some time.
âWhere have you been?â Gu Mengmeng stood at a shady spot near the shore, attending to Lea who had just been called back by Auretin. His fine snow white and fluffy fur was tainted with mud, becoming extremely filthy.
Lea evolved back into human form just three steps in front of Gu Mengmeng. Leaving a puddle of muddy water behind, he received a beast-skin dress from Auretin gracefully and wore it on himself before walking to Gu Mengmeng. âI didnât find the lotus you just mentioned.â
When he finished his sentence, Elvisâs nerves started tensing up.
Gu Mengmeng held Elvisâs hand in hers and turned around to look at him. âKeep your uneasiness and listen to my explanation first.â
Elvis clamped his lips and nodded.
Gu Mengmeng then continued, âThere must be a lotus when thereâs lotus flower but they wonât appear at the same time. The reason why I entered the lake just now was to ensure whether that flower was a lotus flower and not to dig a lotus because weâve to wait until the flowers wilt to get them.â
Lea and Elvis stared at her, half-convinced. Gu Mengmeng really regretted jumping into the lake just because she broke up previously. It was just a moment of folly back then but now, how much trouble has it brought onto her?!
Sighing, Gu Mengmeng was at witsâ end too. âHow about this, remember this place and until August to September......which is before winter, weâll come and dig it again. We shall see whether Iâm speaking the truth or not.â
Lea patted Elvisâs shoulder lightly and said, âMengmeng is the messenger of the Beast Deity, food concerns the survivability of the entire tribe, she wonât make a joke out of this kind of thing.â
Elvis looked back into Leaâs eyes.
The hand he placed on his own shoulder was clearly shaking.
Nodding, Elvis said, âI know, Xiao Meng wonât lie to me......wonât lie to me.â
Gu Mengmeng was helpless as she could only say, âBefore we dig out the lotus, I promise I wonât step close to the side of the lake anymore, alright?â
Elvis nodded his head and they reached a compromise.
The onlooking crowd who had no idea what was going on were all dumbfounded, shouldnât females.....do what they wanted to do? Why did the messenger of the Beast Deity look like......a coward? Whereâs the power of a female?! Whereâs the power of a female?!
Gu Mengmeng stretched out both her arms while standing in front of Elvis in a posture begging for a hug. Elvis said nothing more as he pulled Gu Mengmeng into his arms. Only that distance could make him feel slightly more at ease.
The females did not dare to eat the roasted meat with the chili so in the end, they gave it to the males and then a baffling 908 competition of âwhich female was the least scared of spicyâ started....
Gu Mengmeng lied in Elvisâs arms and looked at the scenery leisurely on the way back. Lea walked next to Elvis, sending fruits and honey water into Gu Mengmengâs mouth at the same time. Gu Mengmeng also did not reject him as she ate her fill in delight. Upon seeing how adorable Gu Mengmeng was eating her food, Elvis and Lea slowly put their worries down.
