Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng up the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment and after standing firm, he howled at the skies. This sudden howl shook the ground, causing the flying bird to flap their wings and fly out from the forest, even the remaining snow rustled down the branches.
This howl also created an earthshaking echo of other wild beats’ growls in Saint Nazaire’s skies.
When Gu Mengmeng heard it from the first time, she was given a huge scare.
After hearing it twice more, she felt excitement creeping all over her.
Tugging onto Elvis’s arm, Gu Mengmeng asked softly, “Can you….bring me along for the hunt?”
Elvis ruffled Gu Mengmeng’s hair lightly, his gaze gentle and affectionate and his tone dotting and a little helpless as he said, “I know you’re very strong but even if it’s like that…..I still don’t want my female to face those bloody and violent scenes, do you understand me? Hmm?”
Gu Mengmeng shrugged her shoulders and nodded.
Actually, in Snakel’s memories, blood and violence were basic happenings. She was originally scared of blood but after inheriting Snakel’s thousand-year memories….even if you want Gu Mengmeng to dissect a prey with her bare hands, her hands would not feel weak and shake.
But Gu Mengmeng still decided to accept Elvis’s heartache.
Elvis kissed the top of Gu Mengmeng’s head and did not say anything else.
When the 16 valued females all gathered together, Gu Mengmeng gestured to call Mandy to sit beside her.
Then, she swept her gaze and the corners of her lips curved upwards.
“Leanna, come over.” Gu Mengmeng pointed at at Leanna who had two more little lions beside her. Leanna smiled sweetly, jumping down from her beast pet while climbing up the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment, carrying her sons in one hand each.
Gu Mengmeng looked at the spot beside her and said, “Sit here.”
“Yeah.” Leanna was extremely happy, from the day she knew about her pregnancy, she kept looking forward to this day to get the Great Messenger’s appreciation and acknowledgment. To her, it was a very very honorable thing. Although she just wanted to sit beside the Great Messenger quietly, it seemed like she saw her entire being glowing.
“Paige, you come over too.” Gu Mengmeng pointed at another male who was standing beside the Eagle-owl tribe and on that male hung six Eagle-owl females.
Paige smiled in delight, allowing her male to send her up the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment.
Gu Mengmeng nodded, her mood being exceptionally good.
This was the third end of winter after she came to the Beast World and this was the first year after she gave birth to Hede and his brothers, the second year when there were too many disruptions that caused the females to not feel at ease to bear children so much so that Saint Nazaire had none newborns last year.
Although only two females were pregnant this year, they gave birth to at least eight little rascals so the tribe would not feel lonely anymore.
Gu Mengmeng held Mandy’s hand and gave her a warm gaze before standing up to announce, “From today onwards, Paige will replace Mandy as the First Beauty of the Beast World. Leanna will replace me as the First Beauty of Saint Nazaire. In the future, on the day winter ends, males will head on for the first hunt to fight for the title of First Warrior. The females will go through a beauty pageant and we’ll choose the First Beauty of the Beast World and the First Beauty of the tribe from the number of cubs each female has.”
Leanna and Paige were both strongly shocked. Initially, they felt that sitting beside Gu Mengmeng was already extremely honorable but they did not imagine themselves becoming the First Beauty of the Beast World and the First Beauty of the tribe suddenly. This was an unexpected surprise, a gift from the heavens. Both of them grinned from ear to ear, holding each other’s hands in joy and jumping in delight.
