“Why don’t you get Ian to bring you then?” Sandy was puzzled.
Gu Mengmeng rolled her eyes, her face full of wordless disdain. “It’s all because of that crazy Gregory.”
Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath. “I had wanted Ian to bring me, but he told me that the eagle-owl tribe had been labeled traitors for leaving the Motou mountains. They will be relentlessly attacked by the other bird tribes if they get anywhere near there. And the biggest leader of the Motou mountain range is that Gregory of the vulture tribe. Eh, don’t you think there’s something wrong with his head? I already said I can have the Beast Deity himself abolish that rule, so they don’t have to suffer so much just to guard that mountain. Not only was he not grateful, he said if the Beast Deity forcefully interfered, he would have the entire vulture race extinguished so as to fulfill their loyalties to both sides.”
Sandy always supported Gu Mengmeng. She hated seeing anyone make Gu Mengmeng angry.
Looking at Gu Mengmeng’s fuming manner, Sandy started getting angry herself. “Isn’t he just a third-level bird beast? What is he so proud about? Let me get Collin, Hodgson and Jerry to go bind him up and give him a sound thrashing—until he obediently agrees to bring you up there, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “If using force was possible, I would have beaten him up myself. The crucial point is that I will be putting my life in his hands. I will be doomed if he just lets go of me while high up in the skies. So I need to him to comply willingly.”
Sandy agreed after thinking about it.
He might yield after a beating and agree to bring Gu Mengmeng up—but what if he decided to take revenge halfway across the skies? At that point, no one could protect Gu Mengmeng.
That wouldn’t do. It was too dangerous.
“Why don’t you… just become his partner? It’s always a good thing to take in more partners.”
The temperature of the room dropped drastically the moment Sandy spoke those words out loud.
Elvis’ and Lea’s faces turned even blacker than coal. What if Gu Mengmeng really took in that bird beast for the sake of having a litter of little foxes? In terms of flying, Elvis and Lea really had no advantage at all. What would happen when they fought for Gu Mengmeng’s favors then? This fellow looked rather strong, he should be able to immediately advance to the fourth-level or even the fifth-level right after mating. By then, when they found the Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs, would it be given to him instead to activate his Beast King bloodline?
Wild thoughts were already racing through Elvis’ and Lea’s minds. But Gu Mengmeng couldn’t be bothered about them now. She just pouted and shook her head. “He doesn’t like me and I don’t like him either.”
“How dare he not like you?!” Sandy was incensed. “You are Gu Mengmeng! The best female in the entire Beast World. He is just a bird beast, how could he not like you? Is he blind?! No way. I cannot take this lying down! Where is that bird beast? I want to have a good chat with him!”
Gu Mengmeng wrapped her arms around Sandy’s waist and leaned heavily into her. She looked at her with a forlorn gaze. “I always knew my precious Sandy knows me best. Mmm, it is enough as long as I have you. Let’s not begrudge others for their lack of taste.”
Seeing Gu Mengmeng’s woeful expression, Sandy felt extremely indignant for her. She patted Gu Mengmeng’s shoulder. “Yes, that bird beast has no taste. He can’t spot a treasure, even if it was right under his nose. He actually dares to be so picky against my Gu Mengmeng. Humph, when I see him, I will pluck off all his feathers to make a feather duster!”
