“I did not think of it yet, let’s talk about it when the time comes. Anyway, there’s still some time until winter ends.” Gu Mengmeng stared at this little tree in a daze. She could not tell whether this tree was Snakel or Cole to her.
She shook her head and continued, “Let’s go out. This room… just take it as his room.”
Elvis and Lea did not object and carried Gu Mengmeng to the cave outside.
Without the capability of a Beast King, Gu Mengmeng felt her cold tolerance drastically reduced, so Lea had to light more pails of fire to keep her warm in the cave, whereas both of them had to take turns to transform into their original form to keep her womb warm.
And it took an entire winter.
Gu Mengmeng’s womb had not grown any bigger ever since that time and had been as big as her chest, causing her to worry.
After all, she had killed a person and transmigrated. All these trouble… she did not even know whether the child was still inside? What if she had died in her womb…
As though the little brat in the womb had sensed Gu Mengmeng’s thoughts and unwilling for herself to be pronounced ‘dead’ for no reason, she moved her little legs to remind her mother that she was still alive…
This movement reduced her worry and she could finally feel rest assured about the worrying concerns that she had and did not dare to say to Elvis and Lea.
The snow that had sealed up the cave entrance had been knocked away from the outside.
Gu Mengmeng felt surprised. This was the Snake King valley and there should not be anyone who knew that Wales had already left. Moreover, she had entered the cave openly before winter.
To everyone in Beast World, this place should have Gu Mengmeng, Cole, Elvis the three Beast Kings, with little shit and Lea, the two fifth-level beasts guarding. At this time, who would dare to ambush the Snake King valley? Wouldn’t it be akin to carrying the lights to the toilet to seek one’s own death?
Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng up, whereas Lea instantly revealed his claws and defended in front of Elvis. He had his usual faint smile on his face – a disguise that was like a mask.
When they saw who had arrived, they were stunned.
“Chixuan? Why are you here at this time?” Gu Mengmeng jumped off from Elvis’ arms and walked to his side. She patted off the snow on his body and said, “Even though winter is almost ending, the snow is still falling, it must have been cold… Could it be that something has happened to Zacharias?”
Chixuan shook his head and after a moment of silence, he said, “Something has happened to him, right?”
“Him?” Gu Mengmeng did not understand instantly.
“Cole.” Chixuan’s eyes were just looking at her straight, as he awaited an answer.
Under her watchful eyes, she nodded and said, “I… I killed him.”
It could not be seen whether it was joy or anger from his face as he hugged Gu Mengmeng and said, “I had already expected this day, but mum… I still feel uneasy.”
“Chixuan…”
“I am different from Kanwu. I was raised by Cole. No matter how evil he is to you, in my eyes, he is more like a father than Elvis and is someone I am closest to other than you.” Cole had been hugging Gu Mengmeng the whole time. He did not want Gu Mengmeng to see his pathetic look and buried his face in the nook of her neck. He said, “Mum, do you know why I am so afraid of you crying? That’s because ever since I could not transform myself, he had been saying to me, “No one can hurt Ah Gu, anyone who displeases her should die”, “Ah Gu is the most beautiful when she smiles. Even if she does not ever smile at me, but at least she should not cry for me.”
