“I have no other opinions, I will just listen to you.”
Gu Mengmeng leaned into Elvis’ arms and laughed. “If we are going to the Mecca Desert, we definitely cannot bring little shit… Hah, I still can’t imagine the tantrum that he will throw.”
Elvis played with Gu Mengmeng’s little hands and replied with a smile, “How about I just fight with him and leave right after he’s satisfied with the fight, then he won’t throw any tantrum anymore.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, “I think it’s unlikely.”
Judging from Wabei’s ability to fight incessantly, only Elvis could fight with him until he’s satisfied. Even Gu Mengmeng, who was significantly smaller than him, could not make him fight to his fullest, much less Elvis, who looked like a little dog to him.
The next day morning, Auretin carried his hunted loots to join the meal. After enduring for an entire winter season, his craving was already uncontrollable.
If not because he had eaten sufficient amount of roasted meat during the night campfire party the night before, he might have even charged into Elvis’ cave and take Gu Mengmeng as hostage to threaten Lea for food.
Upon receiving the ingredients that Auretin had brought, Lea started to cook, whereas Gu Mengmeng called Auretin, who was circling the wok, over.
Due to the fact that Gu Mengmeng could stop Lea from cooking if she disagreed, and that Auretin could not win Gu Mengmeng’s family of three in a battle, he could sit well-behavedly diagonally in front of Gu Mengmeng with a stony face. While his eyes were drawn to the huge wok that Lea had in his hands, Auretin sat extremely upright with no expression on his face.
“How much do you know about Mecca Desert?” Gu Mengmeng asked in a straightforward manner.
Auretin was obviously taken aback slightly but his face remained expressionless and his brows did not twitch, but Gu Mengmeng caught the instant dilation of his pupils.
After staying silent for about five seconds, Auretin then responded, “I was born there, so I am quite familiar with it.”
“What about Bi An? Do you know him?” Gu Mengmeng continued to ask.
Auretin nodded, thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “there is no one who does not know Bi An in the Mecca Desert, but none have seen him. He… is more like a person from a myth.”
“What do you mean?” Gu Mengmeng pursued.
Auretin took a glance at Lea’s wok – the meat had just been added to the wok and there was still some time before he could eat.
This amount of time was sufficient for him to tell Gu Mengmeng the story.
As he considered in his mind, Auretin returned his gaze from Lea’s wok and focused on Gu Mengmeng, saying, “Bi An is one of the partner of the previous Messenger of the Beast Deity, but some time later he was unknowingly abandoned to become a stray beast. Come to think about it, it must have been at least a thousand years since then. It was rumoured that he is still alive, yet no one has ever seen him. Just like Snakel in the past, who was still alive, but nothing was known about him in the Beast World.”
“Wang Xiaoxin’s partner?” Gu Mengmeng instinctively blurted out the name of the previous Messenger of the Beast Deity.
It was mainly because they had come from the same era, so they were all clear that Wang Xiaoxin and her might have passed by each other along the streets. So Gu Mengmeng really could not be like others in the Beast World and call her respectfully or even quote from the 300 Poems of the Tang Dynasty.
Auretin had been around Gu Mengmeng for some time so it was naturally not the first time she had called the previous messenger of the beast deity by the name, and continued without any surprise, “yes, I heard that even Bi An’s name was named by her. He had been by her side since a young age, so by right, they should have very strong relationships, who would have expected that he would still be abandoned.”
