Elvis then slowly decreased his strength and seeing how Gu Mengmeng’s 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, “Xiao Meng, I’m sorry.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and wrapped both her arms around Elvis’s neck. Lying in his arms in delight, she said, “It’s my fault for not giving you an absolute sense of security. I’ll change it in the future so……don’t be angry anymore, alright?”
Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s 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.
“Where have you been?” 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. “I didn’t find the lotus you just mentioned.”
When he finished his sentence, Elvis’s nerves started tensing up.
Gu Mengmeng held Elvis’s hand in hers and turned around to look at him. “Keep your uneasiness and listen to my explanation first.”
Elvis clamped his lips and nodded.
Gu Mengmeng then continued, “There must be a lotus when there’s lotus flower but they won’t 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 we’ve to wait until the flowers wilt to get them.”
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 wits’ end too. “How about this, remember this place and until August to September……which is before winter, we’ll come and dig it again. We shall see whether I’m speaking the truth or not.”
Lea patted Elvis’s shoulder lightly and said, “Mengmeng is the messenger of the Beast Deity, food concerns the survivability of the entire tribe, she won’t make a joke out of this kind of thing.”
Elvis looked back into Lea’s eyes.
The hand he placed on his own shoulder was clearly shaking.
Nodding, Elvis said, “I know, Xiao Meng won’t lie to me……won’t lie to me.”
Gu Mengmeng was helpless as she could only say, “Before we dig out the lotus, I promise I won’t step close to the side of the lake anymore, alright?”
Elvis nodded his head and they reached a compromise.
The onlooking crowd who had no idea what was going on were all dumbfounded, shouldn’t females…..do what they wanted to do? Why did the messenger of the Beast Deity look like……a coward? Where’s the power of a female?! Where’s 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 ‘which female was the least scared of spicy’ started….
Gu Mengmeng lied in Elvis’s arms and looked at the scenery leisurely on the way back. Lea walked next to Elvis, sending fruits and honey water into Gu Mengmeng’s 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.
