The white mist subsided long ago. Gu Mengmeng was in her own dream.
She looked around but she could not find the Beast Deity anywhere.
“Father….Father, where are you? Hurry and come out….I need you…..Father!” Gu Mengmeng was on the brink of tears, neither her sentences nor her words were complete. She just ran around aimlessly, shouting and pleading.
The scene before her became blurred, some shadows in the air slowly formed a human figure. Gu Mengmeng rubbed her eyes and stared at it in detail.
Frowning, Gu Mengmeng called out her name upon instincts, “Wang…..Xiaoxin?”
Wang Xiaoxin smiled lightly with a tint of guilt and heartache. She took two steps forward and hugged Gu Mengmeng, saying, “Child, thank you…and, I’m sorry.”
Gu Mengmeng’s mind was still in a mess, all of these came so suddenly that she could not tidy up her thoughts properly.
Wang Xiaoxin felt Gu Mengmeng’s stiffness so she held onto her shoulders with both hands and said, “You don’t have to be so wary against me. We’re not strangers, am I right?”
“You…..”
“Or perhaps, if I change my appearance, will you feel more at ease?” As Wang Xiaoxin said, her five features became blurry in front of Gu Mengmeng. And then, she became someone clad in white, as holy and gracious like the…..Beast Deity?!
“You…..” Gu Mengmeng had tens of thousands of questions to ask but everything was stuck in her throat, not a single word could be said.
“I’m sorry, I lied to you.” Wang Xiaoxin pulled Gu Mengmeng by her hand and sat back into the wooden double chair. There was a guilty smile on her face as she sighed, saying, “The statement about the Beast Deity not being able to lie is already the biggest lie itself. I’m sorry, I lied to you from the start. But please believe me, I don’t have ill intentions.”
Gu Mengmeng stood up from the chair abruptly, sniffing as she said, “Elvis….Elvis and Lea….”
“Don’t panic. Calm down first and listen to me.”
“They are my males, how can I not panic?!” Gu Mengmeng tugged onto the corner of the Beast Deity’s clothes with both hands and pleaded, “I won’t calculate what lies you said to me before. Please return Elvis and Lea to me, I beg you….return both of them to me.”
Wang Xiaoxin sighed, shifting her gaze to one side.
Gu Mengmeng followed Wang Xiaoxin’s gaze and saw a gigantic door there.
It was so gigantic that the ends of the door could not be seen.
She could only see a crack in the middle of the entrance and Snakel was standing at the crack.
“Child, previously, you asked me whether Snakel’s experiences in the other world were illusions and I replied no. The answer of this question actually lies on you. When the seven treasures are gathered together, the doors of time and space will open. If you transmigrate to the other side of the doors, you will realize that Snakel’s experiences are your real memories and not illusions.” Wang Xiaoxin stood behind Gu Mengmeng, holding onto her shoulders with both hands, adding, “Elvis and Lea are already dead, what else is there left in the Beast World for you? Why don’t you just transmigrate back to the present world? Snakel can protect and take care of you and you will definitely live life in happiness and delight. I can erase your memories from the Beast World so that you can forget about what happened and live life as if nothing ever happened before. That way….you won’t need to suffer and you can have a simple and happy life like what we saw in the television drama. That….will serve as my compensation to you, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng stared hard at Snakel, his cold and straight eyes were filled with sorrow. Gu Mengmeng was aware that, in the illusion she just escaped from….Snakel really did existed and she did said cruel words to him, she abandoned him for the second time.
