Chapter 1117: You Will Have To Find A Male From the Bird Tribe To Be Your Partner Then
Lea just laughed at Gu Mengmeng’s grumbling. He pinched her little nose. “It would be best if we could pamper you so much that you can’t even breathe without us. This way, I don’t need to worry that you might disappear suddenly.”
“Grunt.” Gu Mengmeng wrinkled her nose but didn’t insist on going over herself to filter the mashed grapes.
Lea morphed his hand into a paw, and then back to a hand again. The result was a completely clean hand, which appeared almost transparent under the sunlight and glowed with a shimmery sparkle.
Gu Mengmeng did not have a hand fetish but she really liked Lea’s and Elvis’ hands. Their hands looked especially great.
Mmm, if the two of them could clasp their hands together, fingers intertwined—that would be the perfect image…
At that thought, Gu Mengmeng instinctively sucked air through her nose.
She must never have a nosebleed again. Otherwise, who knew what those two would do to her.
Not long after lunch, Mandy was dragging Ian over to Gu Mengmeng’s cave.
At the sight of Mandy constantly pressing a grim-faced Ian, Gu Mengmeng more or less understood what was going on.
Ian stared at Gu Mengmeng for a long while before speaking, “Do you really have to find the Love of the Sky?”
Gu Mengmeng thought about it before nodding.
Ian looked at Mandy again. In the end, he could not withstand her nagging. ” You will have to find a male from the Bird tribe to be your partner then.”
“Huh?” Gu Mengmeng was shocked. Luckily Ian was already Mandy’s partner, or Lea and Elvis would probably be strangling his neck now.
Ian led Mandy over to the long table outside Gu Mengmeng’s cave, and had her sit down. He stood behind her and rested his hands gently on her shoulders, with a face full of exasperation. “According to legends, the Love of the Sky is at the highest peak of the Motou mountain range. The peak is submerged in the clouds and unusually precipitous. Normal beasts are totally unable to climb it. Even if you are a bird, you may not be able to fly to such heights. The Eagle-owl tribe used to be one of the Bird tribes guarding the mountain. However, the terrible weather conditions made it very difficult for us to procreate, and the number of females in the tribe declined, until not a single one was left.”
Ian remained silent for a long while before continuing. “The Eagle-owl tribe guarded the lower regions of the Motou mountain range. But even as guardians, we have never flown to the highest peak. So, if you want to go up the Motou mountain range to retrieve the Love of the Sky, you must first find a partner from the Vulture tribe. Apart from them, there is no other race who can fly to such heights. But the Vulture tribe prides themselves as a race that is closest to the heavens. They are more arrogant than your usual bird tribe. They will never come down from the Motou mountains to interact with land beasts unless absolutely necessary. So… it is impossible for you to get a partner from the Vulture tribe.”
It was a catch-22 situation. To go up the Motou mountain range, you had to have someone from the Vulture tribe to fly you up. But the Vulture tribe could only be found in the Motou mountains…
“Since the Eagle-owl tribe also used to be guardians of the mountain, you should be very familiar with them? Can you come with me as a middleman?” Gu Mengmeng asked.
Ian’s face darkened as his eyes churned with unexplainable emotions. Brows deeply furrowed, he looked like he was enduring some internal struggle.
After a long while, he finally spoke again. “So that our race would not go extinct, I led my tribe to seek refuge in Saint Nazaire… this is the equivalent of betraying all guardians of the Motou mountain range. They will never leave the Motou mountains to pursue and kill us, but if any of the Eagle-owl tribe goes near the mountains again… all of the bird tribes on the mountain will assemble to attack and annihilate us.”
