“I don’t think it’s… to that extent…” Gu Mengmeng did not think that her care towards Sandy would cost her her life and she stared at Lea, not believing him. However, the way Lea looked did not seem like he was joking either so she could only sigh and say, “Alright, I get it. Let’s find a time to teach Bode and the rest. I feel that your cooking skills are really superb, if they could be half as good as you… no, if they could only be a third as good as you, Sandy would not need to go hungry.”
Lea smiled and nodded, giving his consent.
Returning back to Elvis’s cave, Lea found a new set of clothes from the deep end of the place and said, “Your clothes are dirty, take them off and change a new one.”
Gu Mengmeng looked down at herself. She was indeed covered with fish scales from head to toe and there was no need to smell her closely to be able to smell the stench of raw fish. She could not tolerate herself anymore, not to say Elvis and Lea who had an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled awkwardly and received new clothes from Lea’s hands, saying, “Huh? Another new one? Where’s the rabbit-skin dress I wore previously?”
“Thrown away.” Elvis answered with ease.
The corners of Gu Mengmeng’s mouth twitched, “Thrown… thrown away? Why?”
“Dirty.” Elvis answered rather simply.
“F***!” Gu Mengmeng blurted out an expression and then hugged tightly onto the deer-skin dress she was wearing, not willing to let go of it as she cried, “Wasting is shameful! How can you throw away clothes that can be worn again after washing as you feel like it? This is too much, too much! What a reckless waste of God’s good gifts!”
Elvis and Lea looked at each other and felt helpless again towards Gu Mengmeng’s tripped train of thoughts.
This silly girl was willing to share the yellow gravy that was treasured in the Beast World with everyone without frowning a single bit. On the other hand, she treasured the beast-skin that can be taken from anywhere.
Lea carried Gu Mengmeng up and said while taking a rough measurement of the new clothes, “The tribe only has four females but we also have 127 males. Even if the females change five sets of clothes everyday, there will still be a lot of skin from the food consumed by the tribe to be thrown away.”
Skin from the food…
Gu Mengmeng recalled the food that the males ate today: tigers, cheetahs, snow foxes…
All of them had high-quality skin and in the present world, not even money could buy them, why did it become a one time use thing here?!
No wonder Elvis threw away the beast-skin dress whenever he wished and his heart did not even ache at all.
Gu Mengmeng felt her heart being tugged at. Forgive her for being an insignificant townspeople and even one that was money-mad. Recalling all the precious animal fur that were thrown away like that, Gu Mengmeng felt her heart dripping blood.
Gu Mengmeng cupped both her hands and looked up at the sky, sighing deeply, “Beast Deity, please don’t interfere in the divorce matters of others anymore. Can you please take some time to manage this extravagant common practice of your people?!”
“Why? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Elvis showed his concern.
“Yeah!” Gu Mengmeng nodded her head heavily twice, putting on a serious front.
“Where are you feeling uncomfortable? Let me take a look.” Out of concern, Lea placed the clothes at a side and grabbed onto the hand Gu Mengmeng was pressing on her chest, wanting to see whether she was injured somewhere.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head, “Once I heard that you two wanted to throw away my clothes, my whole body start to ache, especially my chest. As long as you two promise to not throw them away, I will not ache anymore.”
Lea completely could not understand what illness did this symptom belong to? He shifted his gaze towards Elvis, waiting for him to come up with an idea.
Compared to Lea, Elvis was a lot more calm. Considering the fact that she cherished that luminous pearl so much, he had some form of idea in his mind. Thus, he nodded his head, “We’ll listen to you and not throw them away. I’ll build a cave for you solely to put all the clothes you wore before, alright?”
