Chapter 745: You Are A Pile Of Shit But Still Wish To Become A Divine Creature?
Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Yeah, I am going to the ocean and you are to come with me.”
Wabei grunted. “Not free, I am not going.”
Gu Mengmeng clasped her hands behind her back and casually said, “Snake asked you to accompany me.”
Wabei completely froze just at the mention of that name.
His hands trembled uncontrollably as he looked at the female who so casually spoke that name before him. He finally recovered his voice after a long while. “If you dare to deceive me, I will kill you…”
Gu Mengmeng smiled innocently and raised her eyebrows. “Stop your bullshit. You can’t defeat me.”
“I will become the Beast King one day!” Wabei hollered.
Gu Mengmeng shrugged. “Even so, we will just be an even match. Moreover… you are just a pile of shit, but still wish to become a divine creature?”
Wabei went red with anger. “Are you still picking on my appearance?!”
Actually, he had always been rather confident of his appearance over the past 800 years. He believed that only Snake was more good-looking than him.
But since the arrival of this little girl, his confidence in his own looks had been gradually grounded into dust. A shadow of doubt had been cast onto his mind.
Especially since accompanying her to Saint Nazaire, he had seen what the “shit” produced by four-legged creatures looked like…
Gu Mengmeng’s right hand circled three times before covering it over her own chest as she bowed in a gentlemanly gesture. “I am Gu Mengmeng. The Appearance Association’s Honored Chairman, Supreme Senior Member, as well as Avid Supporter of the belief that the value of a person lies in his looks.”
“You…!”
“What about me?” Gu Mengmeng was obviously emboldened with the knowledge that she had nothing to fear.
Meanwhile, Wabei truly did not know how to handle her. Wringing his hands, Wabei wanted to just turn around and leave. But he had just taken one step when he stopped. Without turning around, he asked in a cold, strained voice. “When do we leave?”
Gu Mengmeng did not continue making things difficult for him and just replied simply, “Tomorrow morning.”
Wabei left without another word.
The Snake King valley was a place which held unpleasant memories for Elvis and Lea. That was why Gu Mengmeng had them wait outside for her.
And tonight, Gu Mengmeng had no intention of sleeping.
She wandered aimlessly around the Snake King valley, only to discover that everywhere held traces of Snake.
Ah, apart from the month they spend together, she still held the thousand-years’ worth of his memories inside her. No wonder she saw him wherever she went…
A few small snakes led Gu Mengmeng to the place where the fruits from the trees trampled by Snake had been buried. Gu Mengmeng squatted before a tender green sprout and couldn’t resist reaching out to stroke a leaf gently. She murmured to herself. “A new cycle, a new beginning… Snake, you are also doing well over there?”
Gu Mengmeng didn’t return to the cave but just slept at a spot near that new sprout. Before sleeping, she instructed the little snakes that if she didn’t wake up tomorrow morning, to have Wabei carry her out. Elvis and Lea would be waiting outside for her and they knew where to go.
Slowly closing her eyes Gu Mengmeng thought to herself: Lonely old man, your filial daughter is coming back to watch that romance series with you now.
The white smog became thicker but Gu Mengmeng no longer felt her initial unease and panic. Instead, she waited calmly for the arrival of that young-looking chap who still liked to put on a benevolent “fatherly” expression.
