Chapter 1079: The Mouth May Lie But The Body Did Not.
It was no exaggeration—it was like beams were shooting out of Auretin’s eyes. The kind that could shoot down an airplane flying across the night sky.
The veins on his body were all nearly bursting, but he still looked at Gu Mengmeng with his pokerface. “Really?”
Gu Mengmeng really felt like laughing at Auretin’s expression. “I will bite you to death if you don’t give it to me” was clearly written all over his face, but his mouth was still asking such a rhetorical question.
Tsk, the mouth may lie but the body did not.
She shoved the bowl into Auretin’s hands. “Here, eat!”
Without even a word of thanks, Auretin immediately tipped the bowl directly into his mouth.
Yes, using chopsticks would be too slow.
He had already endured for over half a year. Every cell in his body was screaming for Lea’s cooking. It was truly an unbearable hunger!
Gu Mengmeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at his eating manner. If she didn’t know better, she would have thought he was a hungry ghost who had just crawled out of hell.
“Slow down. Otherwise you might end up swallowing your own tongue.” Gu Mengmeng teased.
Sorry, your good friend Auretin had already gone offline.
Gu Mengmeng ladled another bowl for Barete. “You eat too. You have also had a tough time.”
Barete was not as keen on the food as Auretin was. Lea’s cooking was indeed great, but Barete felt that such exquisite cuisines should be reserved for females. Males were not that picky about what they ate. But Gu Mengmeng was personally offering this bowl of food to him—he would finish every morsel even if it was poison.
Ian was sitting on a tree in his usual sickly manner. He lowered his head to look at Gu Mengmeng. “Hey, I got promoted.”
Gu Mengmeng looked up and narrowed her eyes to scrutinize Ian. He still looked frail and sickly, but on closer look… mmm, he had grown one more feather at the tip of his ears. Each of his ears now had three feathers sticking straight up.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “Hey, congratulations.”
Ian snorted. “Do you think I want to be promoted? If not for your absence the past six months, driving me to exhaustion such that I got promoted… tsk, congratulations? What are you congratulating me for?”
A wave of beast pressure wafted by without warning and Ian fell off the tree. Auretin dropped his bowl on the ground, while Barete also collapsed to the floor.
Even Lea was not spared. He nearly fell into the pot.
Gu Mengmeng stared at Wabei. “Little shit, why are you having a fit?”
Wabei tossed a disdainful look at Ian. “I don’t like seeing others talk back at you.”
Gu Mengmeng laughed and patted Wabei on the shoulder. “Aren’t you the one who usually talks back at me the most?”
Wabei stiffened his neck. “That’s different. I am the most powerful and am free to dislike you. A piece of scum who can’t even defeat me—what right does he have to hate you?”
“Do you mean that you will protect me against those who despise me, only if they are weaker than you? If they are stronger than you, you will just leave me to my fate?” Gu Mengmeng stared wide-eyed at Wabei.
Wabei nodded without any hesitation. “Yes. When Snakel was tormenting you, I dared not even utter a sound.”
“Damn!” Gu Mengmeng shook Wabei vigorously by his shoulder. “Your frank admission makes me feel so sad! I never thought you are this type of little shit. Discarding me the moment you meet a strong opponent!”
