Contemplating for a while, Gu Mengmeng stepped a small step forward with her chest out and said, “I was the one who let Barete stop the rest, this isn’t Barete’s fault. If you have to punish someone, punish me and release Barete.”
Gu Mengmeng’s words caused a huge commotion.
All along, it was males who would take the place of females when they made a mistake. This was the first time a female stood out to receive the punishment for a male.
Mr Holy was not affected by the commotion. He seemed like he could not hear the rustle from the crowd at all and still maintained a calm and gentle look towards Gu Mengmeng as he smiled slightly, “You’re a young female, a favorite of the Beast Deity. No matter what you do, you would not get punished.”
Gu Mengmeng was overjoyed. She turned around to look at Barete before turning back to Mr Holy and questioned, “If it’s like that, Barete need not receive the punishment anymore right?”
Mr Holy continued smiling, but he shook his head, “It’s a fact that he did not protect you well and he has to get punished.”
“But, I was the one who did not allow him to follow!” Gu Mengmeng emphasized.
“When he promised you, he was already ready to receive this kind of punishment.” The male’s manner was extremely gentle, but he did not yield a single inch.
This caused Gu Mengmeng to feel very infuriated, what was all this goddamn gangster logic?
Clenching her teeth, a thought suddenly formed in Gu Mengmeng’s mind so she smiled slyly, asking Mr Holy from sideways, “Since I’m a young female, there won’t be a problem if I did anything right?”
Mr Holy’s interest was ignited by Gu Mengmeng’s sly look. He nodded his head to affirm Gu Mengmeng’s words with some expectation and looking on.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and walked next to Barete, pulling his arm, “Get up, you’re now being kidnapped by me.”
Barete did not understand Gu Mengmeng, kidnapped… what was that?
Deep down, Gu Mengmeng looked down on the generation gap for the umpteenth time and she explained with patience, “It means that you must listen to me now and do whatever I asked you to.”
Barete forced a smile, not caring if this type of smile caused his dry lips to crack till blood oozed out. He perfectly acted out what was a tough man with a tender heart who was desperate to pamper the female.
“Ok, I will listen to whatever you say, after I’m done with the punishment…”
“You’ll have no life left after you’re done with the punishment. I don’t care, you have to listen to me now.” Gu Mengmeng was pissed off by Barete this block-head. He actually did not know how to cooperate even with her shielding him with the title of a young female! What a ninny-hammer.
“Mengmeng, be good and knock if off. When I’m done with the punishment, I’ll listen to whatever you ask me to do. But now, I really can’t get up or else…” Barete looked at Gu Mengmeng in a difficult situation, not sure how to finish the rest of his sentence.
Gu Mengmeng held her head high with arms akimbo, asking, “Or else what?”
Gu Mengmeng was not convinced that there was something scarier in this world than losing one’s life after being exposed to the sunlight and even getting his skin skinned.
Barete looked down, the brows on his forehead furrowing into a dead knot that could not release no matter what. With his lips pressed into a straight line, he clearly made up his mind to not open his mouth.
Mr Holy took a leaf as big as a small umbrella from somewhere and held it over Gu Mengmeng’s head to block off the sunlight. He peered down at Barete and Quentin in a commanding position, helping Barete answer, “If he ran away from the Deity’s Punishment, the rage of the Beast Deity will land on his female.”
