“Just take this matter regarding Maya.” Gu Mengmeng chuckled before continuing. “I purposely arranged for her to sit beside me during the bonfire party. And she was the first person I called over for a chat. That was a trick to make her a target of hate to the other females.”
Elvis looked at Gu Mengmeng, still perplexed. “But Mandy also sat beside you and chatted with you. Won’t she also be ostracized?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “Mandy is the Beast World’s First Beauty personally crowned by me. She had received my handmade bamboo cup and became partners with my good friend Ian. She is close enough to be able to come by our cave any time to eat and chat with me. For her to sit beside me at the bonfire is a given. But Maya is an entire different matter…”
Gu Mengmeng’s gaze turned a notch cooler and shone with a sliver of cunning. “Although the 16 value females are from different tribes, they came to Saint Nazaire at the same time. They all have the same starting points and have some sort of camaraderie. But Maya is a half-beast female who was already in Saint Nazaire, and she will never be able to merge into their circle. Things might have still been fine if her friendship with me was as good as Sandy and I’s—but our relationship is only so-so. I had actually more or less forgotten about Maya’s existence, all until today when Lea suggested for me to leak some information to her.”
Gu Mengmeng paused for a moment before continuing. “It would have been great for her if I had really forgotten about her. After all, she knows how to hide her true intentions behind a weak and timid front. Most of the other females will not go out of their way to make things difficult for her as those complete females do not regard her as a worthy opponent at all. But because of this very reason, she has suddenly become the focus of attention today.”
“There will definitely be some within the 16 valued females who will be feeling aggrieved. Thoughts like ‘what right does this wretched half-beast female have to sit beside the Messenger of the Beast Deity’, or ‘is she trying to sidle up to the Messenger of the Beast Deity just based on the fact that she is one of the original females in Saint Nazaire? So shameless’ will definitely surface. This is enough to make them ostracize Maya.” Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath before carrying on. “So Mandy just needs to casually bring up this sentiment and then add in a few incendiary remarks—that will be good enough.”
Lea held his cheek and gazed at Gu Mengmeng approvingly. He loved this side to Gu Mengmeng, as cunning as a little fox. Utterly mesmerizing.
Greedy to see more of this spirited display of hers, Lea probed further. “Are you confident that those females will only target Maya, and Mandy will not be implicated?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded without any hesitation. “Girls will not be jealous of Fan Bingbing’s beauty, but will be envious if Jane from the next class lost another two kilograms, or if Mary from next door now looks especially good after getting double-eyelid surgery.”
Fan Bingbing, Jane from the next class and Mary from next door… who the hell were they?
Looking at Lea’s and Elvis’ befuddled faces, Gu Mengmeng knew they couldn’t understand her explanation. Hence, she tried another angle. “Let’s put it this way, what if one day you said you don’t want me anymore. You like someone else now. I investigated and found out that someone is Melinda. I can weep and curse at you, but my pain will gradually fade away and I will recover from it. However, if that someone is Nina, I will be extremely upset. She is inferior to me in every way but you still chose her over me?! You are stomping on my dignity and there is no way I will be able to bear it. I will have to dispute this to the end, right?!”
