Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s little head before carrying her on his shoulders He leaped off the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment in one jump, then turned to face his fellow tribesman.
In a jiffy, Lea stood next to Elvis at a spot diagonally behind him. What replaced his joking expression was a focused and solemn one.
Gu Mengmeng did not know what had happened and she was about to ask when she saw Lea kneeling on the floor on one knee while placing his right hand over his left chest. He lowered his head and looked like he was submitting himself to her rule. “I, Saint Nazaire’s witch doctor, Lea, leads my fellow tribesman in accommodating to the arrival of the messenger of the Beast Deity. We’re willing to accept banishment from the mighty messenger. We’re willing to fight for you even with our bones crushed. We’ll not shrink from any sacrifice for you, our mighty leader.”
“We’re willing to fight for you even with our bones crushed. We’ll not shrink from any sacrifice for you, our mighty leader.”
“We’re willing to fight for you even with our bones crushed. We’ll not shrink from any sacrifice for you, our mighty leader.”
Gu Mengmeng was dumbfounded at the situation in front of her. She thought to herself, “Do I need to say ‘everybody, please rise’? Or should I say ‘my dear, forgo formalities’?”
Elvis raised his hand and immediately, everyone below the Platform became quiet.
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head, looking at Elvis with a question mark written on her face.
Elvis looked up into Gu Mengmeng’s eyes and said, “Before winter, Lea had officially announced your identity to the tribe. So, the first thing after the first hunt in spring is to pledge their loyalty to you.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled awkwardly and whispered, “Then…what should I say?”
Elvis held Gu Mengmeng’s little hand and brought it to his lips to kiss it. “Allow us to pledge our loyalty to you and guard your honor as the messenger of the Beast Deity.”
The corners of Gu Mengmeng’s lips twitched. The smile on her face was uglier looking than her crying face.
Am I going to be a damn local tyrant? Can I reject it? Everyone’s so familiar with one another, it’s so weird accepting their kowtow.
Lea looked at Gu Mengmeng and could not help but laugh softly all of a sudden.
Gu Mengmeng glared at Lea and thought to herself, “If you knew of this, why didn’t you remind me earlier?”
But in front of the public, she could not throw her temper so she could only clench her teeth and say, “Although I’m the messenger of the Beast Deity, I’m also the Gu Mengmeng everyone’s familiar with. I’m indebted to your gracious consent and with all of you following me, I’ll do my best to bring everyone to greater days.”
Gu Mengmeng broke out into a cold sweat. Luckily, she was elected as a class chairperson once in high school and she could use the script back then after changing a few words here and there.
“Thank you, sir messenger for your concern and solicitude!” Lea took the lead once again. After everyone shouted the slogan three times, all of them then slowly stood up.
Gu Mengmeng heaved a sigh of relief before patting Elvis’s arm, signaling him to put herself down.
Elvis changed a posture and carried Gu Mengmeng in his arms. He pressed against her ear and whispered, “Don’t step on the ground, it’s cold.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled and nodded her head. The entire tribe’s gaze was fixated on her and she could not help but be bashful at that affectionate and sweet little action.
Lea stepped forward and said, “Mighty messenger, regarding the candidates as your guards…”
Gu Mengmeng was shocked. “What guards?”
“The messenger of the Beast Deity should have two guards beside her. They will be in charge of transmitting the commands from the messenger herself and carry out some special arrangements too. Mighty messenger, you know all the warriors in our tribe, do you have a candidate you fancy?”
Lea was still smiling warmly but Gu Mengmeng could clearly see the slight slyness in his eyes.
F***! He Did It On Purpose!
Gu Mengmeng suddenly recalled the scene where Lea made her lie by the plate to teach her sons to drink the bone soup…
