When Gu Mengmeng woke up, Elvis was carrying her and running frantically.
Elvis rarely ran like this. Previously, no matter how they had to hurry on their journey, Elvis would still be running leisurely and had never seemed so pathetic.
He did not seem to be running, he seemed to be… escaping.
Lea was following closely behind Elvis. Both of them had extremely focused expressions with their attention focused in front and their feet not stopping at all.
There was a trail of footprints left behind on the smooth snow, making it obvious how fast they had been running, almost as though they were flying across the snow.
Gu Mengmeng was dazed and did not care about the cold wind blowing in her face as she struggled to stand up. She looked around at the surroundings and confirmed that she was still within the boundaries of Motou Mountains. Elvis and Lea were around but Gregory and Wabei were missing.
“Where are they?” Gu Mengmeng frowned as she asked.
Her question made Elvis and Lea stop in their tracks and sank into the snow.
The snow was as deep as their chest level but they seemed to not notice. Their gaze at Gu Mengmeng was even more deep and Gu Mengmeng could clearly see Elvis’ cheekbones rising and falling, as though he was chewing something.
“Something happened, right?” Gu Mengmeng narrowed her eyes and said, “I can’t possibly jump down myself, so it must be Gregory who handed me over to you guys, but he is not with you guys… Usually, even if he did not request, Lea and you would not carry me and run in the snow instead of letting Gregory carry me to take a more comfortable flight. So something happened to Gregory?”
When Gu Mengmeng finished saying that, she glanced across Elvis and Lea’s faces.
Both of them remained silent because they promised to not lie to her.
So Gu Mengmeng guessed correctly.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Mengmeng continued, “What about Wabei? Something also happened to him right? Seeing how you guys ran just now, there must be danger behind. Under such situation, so long as Wabei was not dead, he would not leave me behind and not care… so now, he’s either dead or something worse than him dying has happened. Otherwise, even if he was frozen, you guys would not leave him behind and not care. After all, if something happened to little shit, I will be sad and you guys won’t do anything that made me sad unless you had no choice.”
“Say it, what happened to both of them?” Gu Mengmeng stared into Elvis and Lea’s eyes and asked.
“Mengmeng, we only have half a day to run out. After half a day, the wind would start blowing again. This cold weather is not something we can endure so within half a day we definitely have to leave Motou Mountains. I will explain to you after leaving this place, alright?” Lea tried to convince Gu Mengmeng but Gu Mengmeng shook her head and said, “You guys leave first.”
“Xiao Meng, stop fooling around.” Elvis said coldly.
Gu Mengmeng hugged Elvis tightly and said, “I don’t know what happened to Gregory but it must be because of me. Since he has a title and belongs to me, I cannot leave him alone to face danger himself. As for little shit… I had promised before coming here that so long as I am alive, I would bring out the way I brought him in.”
“Gregory is on the highest peak of Motou Mountains, you won’t be able to go up.” Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng tightly and said, “Xiao Meng, listen to me, let’s go first.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and smiled, “You guys cannot go up but I can.”
After she said that, she pushed Elvis away and using the momentum from her jump, she opened up a pair of ice sculpted wings.
