After getting Gu Mengmeng’s permission, Natalie no longer saw the need to hide the truth. “The seven-word mantra, as its name implies, consists of seven words—first, cry; second, scream; third, threaten suicide.”
Peter was shocked. “So when you… ran into the wall… you…”
Natalie nodded. “Yes, it was to trick you.”
Peter could not bear to scowl at his own female and so could only glare angrily at Gu Mengmeng. She just shrugged. “That’s right, I purposely came over that day just to watch your performance.”
“You…!” Peter was suddenly at a loss for words.
Gu Mengmeng chortled. “You are no longer a stray beast, is it really appropriate for you to glare at me like that? My father only has one precious daughter, me. He usually can’t bear to scold me and has never even glared at me before. Aren’t you afraid of making him angry… mmm?”
Gu Mengmeng didn’t elaborate but shot a nonchalant glance at Natalie.
Peter instantly cowed.
He could not afford to offend this relative…
Gu Mengmeng laughed out loud and threw herself into Elvis’ embrace. “Hubby, your father is so cowardly.”
Elvis kept up the act by also snorting disdainfully. He recalled how arrogant Peter was in the past, dictating their life and death like a god, observing coldly as his brothers killed each other.
Compared to his cowardly demeanor today…
Actually, Elvis now thought more highly of Peter.
Males have never been afraid of violence and viciousness.
But suppressing their aggressive aura and giving in to their female was the most impressive and courageous thing a male could do.
A fearsome wolf to the outside world, but a tame husky in front of his own female.
Peter was like that, but wasn’t Elvis himself the same?
For their own females, they could forsake their lives and their dignity.
However, despite understanding all that, it didn’t prevent him from joining hands with Gu Mengmeng to mock at him.
After she had a good laugh, Gu Mengmeng sat upright. “Now that Peter is no longer a stray beast, it is not appropriate for him to stay here even if he is a fifth-level beast. It is also not good for the upbringing of the wolf pups. But Natalie cannot travel far in her current condition. Why don’t you go over to the nearby Zacharias. Chixuan and Kanwu are there, so you can take care of each other.”
Natalie nodded her assent, and this matter was settled.
After finishing lunch, the group parted ways. Natalie and Peter brought the six wolf pups to Zacharias while Gu Mengmeng, Elvis and Lea brought Hede and Jialue back to Sauder.
Actually, Saint Nazaire was nearer, but Gu Mengmeng was concerned for the baby in Sandy’s tummy. After all, it was Sandy’s first pregnancy and Gu Mengmeng hoped to rush back in time to accompany her.
Sandy was so timid that she would feel much more at ease with Gu Mengmeng around.
Moreover, Gu Mengmeng had already promised her. She didn’t wish to break her commitment to her only bosom friend.
After traveling for three and a half days, Gu Mengmeng once again stood at the entrance to Sauder. Oakley led a group of tribe elders to welcome them.
But this time, apart from the elders, there were several other beasts. They looked unfamiliar, but appeared to be rather powerful and at least third-level.
Gu Mengmeng kept quiet. Publicly, Oakley was still Sauder’s leader and she had to preserve his dignity.
Gu Mengmeng entered the tribe without delay and dashed straight for Sandy’s little rock house.
Sandy’s belly was very big now, much bigger than Gu Mengmeng’s when she was carrying Hede and his brothers. Hence, her movements were very restricted and she wobbled around like a round-bottomed doll.
