Chapter 1140: You Think You Are So Great Just Because You Can Fly?!
Mandy noticed that Gu Mengmeng was not at all surprised, and was even exchanging looks with Lea. She thought about it before asking, “Did you know about this already?”
Gu Mengmeng didn’t deny it and just nodded. “Mmm, I already knew this.”
Mandy exclaimed. “Of course. You are the Messenger of the Beast Deity, you must know everything.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled as she thought to herself. She was just the Messenger and not some half-deity. How could she know everything? It was just that after Lea revealed Maya’s identity to her, many things suddenly became very clear and obvious.
But Gu Mengmeng didn’t explain all that to Mandy. Sometimes, it was better to maintain a bit of mystery.
Mandy had just finished her bowl of meat when Ian arrived to fetch her back.
He placed a bag made of animal skin on the table. “Please take this as a gift in return for all the meals Mandy had shared with you here.”
With that, Ian carried Mandy and flew straight up into the sky…
Gu Mengmeng harrumphed imperiously. “You think you are so great just because you can fly?!”
A voice echoed through the sky. “Yes, I am that great because I can fly…”
Gu Mengmeng waved a fist and hollered. “Just wait and see!”
Despite all that shouting, Gu Mengmeng was not angry at all. She just opened up the bag on the table to find over 50 bird eggs inside.
These eggs from the Beast World were more or less like the quail eggs in our present world?
Lea peeked into the bag and smiled. “Ian is rather decent after all. It will be winter soon and the birds would have stopped producing eggs… these must have been gathered only after much flying around? Ha…”
Smiling, Lea shouted in the direction of Ian’s departing profile. “Eh… we welcome your female to come share in our meals again.”
Gu Mengmeng sniggered. Lea was behaving just like one of those brothel mama-sans on television. All he lacked was a handkerchief to flicker about.
Lea had no idea what Gu Mengmeng was laughing about, but his lips automatically curled up on seeing her smile. He then turned to continue preparing the food.
Having remained silent the entire time, Elvis now tightened his grip around Gu Mengmeng’s waist. “Xiao Meng, in future… I think you better not interact too much with those 16 valued females. They are too dangerous.”
Gu Mengmeng turned to look at Elvis with a smile. “Are you scared?”
Elvis nodded. He was not at all scared if their methods were directed at him. But he was especially afraid that one day, Gu Mengmeng would be the one on the receiving end instead.
In the past, he had felt that females were very annoying. But now, he felt that they were… terrifying.
Gu Mengmeng leaned into Elvis’ arms and patted his back soothingly. “Don’t worry. They will never target me. Even if they do, their methods are useless against me. I have read over 700 chapters of comic series Detective Conan, and know more than 600 ways to kill someone. I am also familiar with over 100 poisons and understand how to create all sorts of false witnesses.”
Elvis’ mood improved with Gu Mengmeng’s nonsensical babbling.
Anyway, it didn’t matter what others wished to do to her. She would at least have him to protect her.
Time passed quickly and in the blink of an eye, the mountain was sealed off by heavy snows.
Gu Mengmeng sat at the entrance of the cave with her cheek resting upon her palm. She observed with a dreamy gaze as the three-person-wide doorway was gradually sealed off by the heavy snows, bit by bit.
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng from behind and whispered in her ear. “The winds are too strong. Don’t sit so close to the door.”
“Mmm.” Gu Mengmeng answered before letting Elvis carry her back into the inner regions of the cave.
