Chapter 951: How Are They Different?
The white mist thickened again as if that screen was never there.
Gu Mengmeng held her cheek as she looked at the Beast Deity. “Why do I have the feeling that I am going to suffer under Snakel?”
The Beast Deity laughed out loud. “I have the same feeling.”
Gu Mengmeng wordlessly petitioned the heavens. It was not her fault for presenting that love letter to the basketball team captain. She didn’t even remember him!
Sigh, forget it. Even if she shouted herself hoarse, she would not be able to help her other self now.
Anyway she was so timid, as long as she obediently owned up to her mistakes and repented, Snakel would not kill her.
Gu Mengmeng composed herself and turned to look at the Beast Deity. “Daddy, we have finished watching television.”
The Beast Deity nodded. “Do you want to watch the next episode?”
Gu Mengmeng rolled her eyes. “Don’t play dumb. Give me my pocket money.”
The Beast Deity rubbed his nose and gave a couple of dry laughs. “What do you want this time? Tell me.”
Gu Mengmeng thought about it. “I am going to seek out the Soul of the Forest. Is there anything I will not be able to handle and need to make some prior preparations for?”
The Beast Deity thought about it. “No.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded. “When can Wabei be sent over to Snakel’s side? Can you tell me now?”
The Beast Deity shook his head.
Gu Mengmeng stood up and said, “Alright, then I don’t need pocket money this time. Take it that I came back just to watch television with you.”
The Beast Deity smiled benevolently. “Were you affected by Wabei’s words?”
Gu Mengmeng didn’t deny it. “I have lacked paternal love from a young age. I don’t really know how to interact with a father. Although you look more like a brother than a father to me—you are a divine entity so I won’t offend you by asking your age—I still want to thank you for being my dad. Watching television with you… can be counted as me enjoying some parental ties. In future… I will try to come back more often to visit you… if you are not too busy.”
The Beast Deity nodded with a smile. “You are welcome anytime.”
Gu Mengmeng waved and turned to walk out of the white mist.
After returning to her own body, Gu Mengmeng opened her eyes to see three furry heads resting on her.
She caressed them and the three boys leaped off in joy.
Elvis propped Gu Mengmeng up and let her lean against his own chest. A plate of fresh fruit was presented to Gu Mengmeng. He said as he fed her, “There’s a huge downpour now and we have sought temporary shelter in a cave. We will continue our journey in another two days when the rain has cleared.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded. It was the rainy season when the rains came unpredictably and could go on for days. It was definitely not a good time to be on the road.
Things would be fine if it was only Elvis, Lea, Wabei and her. But they had brought her three sons and she could not bear for them to suffer along with her.
Thinking of her sons, Gu Mengmeng turned and looked at them. They were in full beast mode. She frowned. “What’s the matter with them? Why are they in beast form?”
Elvis chuckled. “Do you notice anything different about them?”
Gu Mengmeng had just woken up and was still in a groggy state. She stared at her sons for several seconds before saying hesitantly, “They… seem to have grown bigger. It’s been a long time since I have seen them in their beast form. I can’t really tell.”
