Gu Mengmeng thought for a while, maybe just like after Sun Wukong took away the Ocean Stabilising Holy Needle, after Gu Mengmeng takes Love of the Sky, the land and mountains on Motou Mountains would also quake?
But luckily all of the creatures living there were birds and most likely would not be buried alive.
Her father had also mentioned that after attaining Love of the Sky, she would become the Master of Birds and all the birds would follow her.
At this thought, Gu Mengmeng discussed with Gregory, “My father… is the Beast Deity. He told me that after retrieving Love of the Sky, all the birds would recognise me as master and follow by my side, so I was thinking how about we settle down at Saint Nazaire with all the birds from Motou Mountains? Even though Sauder’s territory is larger, but there are already the Wolf Clan, Fox Clan and 16 tribes there and the situation there is already chaotic enough. All you birds that have been hiding from the world for many years should not join them and become victims. It’s better for you guys to return to Saint Nazaire. I always felt that the people from Saint Nazaire are the easiest to get along with.”
We…
This was a keyword that could persuade Gregory to do anything.
With a smile, Gregory said with a nod, “You are the head of the household, I would naturally listen to you.”
Gu Mengmeng did not say anything to jeopardise the relationship.
“Seven days… seven days…” Gu Mengmeng leaned in Gregory’s arms and gradually went to sleep.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already the next morning.
Gregory was roasting a wild rabbit. It was the one that he had flown out of Motou Mountains in the middle of the night to take from Auretin. At the same time, he brought back other hunted animals, but after giving Elvis and the rest three of them, there were two rabbits left to feed Gu Mengmeng.
After using water from the ice cups to wash up, Gu Mengmeng bounced to sit beside Gregory. With her hands supporting her chin, she watched Gregory roast the rabbit and smiled while saying, “You are so fast in learning, you must be talented in cooking like Lea. Elvis cannot do this at all, Snakel and him are both disasters in the kitchen, any fresh ingredient would become horrible dishes because of them… One time Snakel grilled meat for me and had almost killed me.”
Hearing Gu Mengmeng share her story incessantly, Gregory suddenly laughed.
Gu Mengmeng hardly saw Gregory laugh. Most of the time, he had a straight face that was like a master. Even if he laughed, it was only a slightly movement of the lips, so this laughter was really rare.
“What are you laughing at?” Gu Mengmeng also laughed, as she asked him with her eyes filled with curiosity.
Gregory looked back at Gu Mengmeng and said, “Laughing at you for being noisy.”
Gu Mengmeng scrunched her nose and said, “Are you complimenting me? Why does it not sound like it? Are you complaining that I am too noisy? Then I shall speak less…”
Gregory shook his head and replied, “No, it’s good that you are noisy.”
“Eh?” Gu Mengmeng did not understand Gregory.
Gregory plucked out a thigh from the roasted rabbit and passed it to Gu Mengmeng for her to have it first. Then, while placing the water above the fire, she said, “In the past, there was only wind blowing in Motou Mountains and snow falling. I am used to this quietness and never found it inappropriate and I even thought that I liked such silence, but…”
Gregory’s gaze landed on Gu Mengmeng’s face and that pair of usually sharp eyes were filled with gentleness. He said, “Hearing you talk non stop beside my ears, I never felt irritated, instead I feel energised, warm and at ease. As though this should be how being alive is… I then realised that it was not that I was used to silence but because I never knew the world could be this lively.”
