Auretin seemed to sense what Gu Mengmeng was thinking and patted her shoulders, saying, “How do you know if there won’t be someone who will love me like I do a thousand years later? For all you know… I will the next Snake – meeting that special person a thousand years later, who will give my life color and meaning.”
The next Snake…
He, then wouldn’t his heart be dug out?
Furthermore…
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head to look at the red spider lily. Not only would his heart be dug, he would also end up being in bits and pieces and be in deep sleep for a thousand years.
Being the next Snake was really not a happy ending.
Moreover, even though Snake could not express himself, he surprisingly matches the personality of a domineering boss and the chances of him being liked by young girls were much higher than Auretin, this expressionless big white cat who only has eyes for food. He had looks but he did not know how to make use of it like Lea…
Gu Mengmeng does not dare to even imagine Auretin acting cute.
In the Beast World where there was such an unbalanced ratio of males to females, could Auretin really find a way to fight with other males and stand out among everyone else, to earn the favor of the next Messenger of the Beast Deity?
What if the next Messenger of the Beast Deity does not like his dimwitted personality?
Or what if… the next Messenger of the Beast Deity does not know how to cook?
Probably then, even if the other party was beautiful, Auretin would also be unwilling to become partners with her?
What was it that he had said previously?
Oh, right, he said ‘I am not interested in females, I am only interested in food’…
Gu Mengmeng really felt that the chances of Auretin, an old bachelor, finding a partner a thousand years later were really slim.
Auretin looked at Gu Mengmeng’s facial expression and could not tell what she was thinking. He could only continue to convince her, “I am not as good as Lea at words, but I know that it is the most suitable arrangement for me to guard this flower.”
As Auretin spoke, he placed his palms facing upwards and kneeled on one knee.
Elvis had told Gu Mengmeng that this was an act of submitting for an orc.
Auretin had never done this to Gu Mengmeng.
He had really thought it through. He was willing to guard this flower and stay at the Mecca Desert for a thousand years.
Gu Mengmeng sighed helplessly. She thought to herself, even though she did not have a son like Snake, she would probably have to drag the next Messenger of the Beast Deity to watch a few rounds of drama to help Auretin out.
It was just that ‘Tyrant Senior Falls In Love With Me’ was a short youth romance film. Could it be that Auretin would be a lead for… a culinary show like ‘Taste Of China On The Tip Of Tongue’?
Gu Mengmeng was frustrated and felt a huge pressure on her.
Seeing Auretin kneeling at her feet, with a look of ‘I won’t stand up if you do not agree’, Gu Mengmeng eventually sighed and gave in.
“Auretin, thank you…” Gu Mengmeng handed over the red spider lily to Auretin.
Auretin placed the red spider lily in his chest in front of Gu Mengmeng, then showed her the first grin in his life, saying, “No need for any thanks, you just have to make sure that Lea keeps to his promise and sends me food.”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned and responded, “Auretin, do you know? You look really good when you smile?”
Auretin was dazed after hearing her say that. He touched the corner of his lips and said, “Seems like it was right for me to guard this flower…”
Elvis, Lea and Auretin took turns accompanying Gu Mengmeng, whereas the other two people searched for huge stones in the desert to build the Dragon Gate Inn that Gu Mengmeng had in mind.
