Gu Mengmeng did not respond to Arnold and continued to chat with Sandy. When the sun set, Elvis came to fetch her.
After becoming partners, Gu Mengmeng did as she promised.
In front of Elvis and Lea, she would pretend to be heavily injured and disabled, and could not even take care of her daily life.
So even if she had legs and now has wings, despite being able to walk and fly, so long as Elvis and Lea was around, her only way to travel was by carrying.
The night campfire party was very grand because while Gu Mengmeng was not around, there were more people joining the Wolf Clan whereas the Fox Clan was united.
All the subdivisions of the tribes were all almost gathered at Sauder.
Then, there was a minute change during the night campfire party.
In the past, the main campfire belonged to Gu Mengmeng. By counting each individual member in the family, the number of females in the family would decide the numver of fire to light, and the other families who were more closely related to Gu Mengmeng would sit nearer to the main campfire.
But Cole was single and it was impossible for him to be missing a campfire so the tribe elders ‘harmoniously’ discussed and decided to make slight adjustments so that the main campfire seat where Gu Mengmeng originally sat at would be meant for two people.
Gu Mengmeng, as the Queen, sat by the main campfire belonging to the Wolf Clan, whereas Cole, as the Fox King, sat by another campfire.
As such, there was a clear distinction at the scene. On the left side, there were the Wolf Clan and the 16 tribes, with Elvis and Gu Mengmeng leading at the front, whereas the right side was filled with the Fox clan, led by Cole.
Gu Mengmeng took a brief look. The Fox clan had quite many members, seemingly even more than the Wolf Clan. Even though their individual battling capability was not as great as a wolf, but judging from their quantity, if they really fought, the Wolf Clan led by Elvis might not gain victory. If they won, they definitely had to pay a huge price.
Rubbing her gabella, Gu Mengmeng felt her head hurt.
“Ah Gu, come here.” Cole had already sat on the right side of the campfire. From afar, he saw Gu Mengmeng being carried by Elvis while she herself was in a trance, yet because she did not even bother looking at him, he felt really nasty.
Gu Mengmeng shot him a cold glance and ignored him. She quickly sat beside the campfire by Elvis’ side and leaned into his arms, waiting for Lea to prepare food for her.
Seeing that Gu Mengmeng ignored him, Cole immediately stood up and took the initiative to walk in front of her. With his eyes staring straight at her without any fear, he said, “Ah Gu, you have already been gone with them for an entire dry season. I waited so long for your return, can’t you accompany me?”
Gu Mengmeng looked up, frowned, and looked at Cole with a displeased look. She said, “Fox King, have you gone to the wrong side? Your campfire is on that side, there’s no place for you here.”
“The mountain is unwilling to give in to me so I can only give in to the mountain. Since you are unwilling to come to my side, I can only go to your side.” Cole said full of emotions, as though he was related to Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng felt uncomfortable from Cole’s gaze and only felt that he was slightly different.
She sized him up. After a long time, she still could not tell a difference.
Cole gladly accepted her observation and smiled as he opened his arms, saying, “Ah Gu, come here, I will let you look at me slowly, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng’s eyes stopped on Cole’s face and suddenly a realisation struck her.
Cole’s gaze at Gu Mengmeng was different. His eyes was filled with possessiveness… The medicinal bug on the Soul of the Forest and bewitching spell cast by Chixuan had taken its effect and now Cole had completely believed that he was ‘deeply in love’ with Gu Mengmeng.
