Chapter 367: It Is My Honour

However, Gu Mengmeng shook her head, “Perhaps the rattling of her tail was her original ability. After all, females are precious, and she has already mated with males from our tribe. If we were to kill her, then we would have to send our fellow tribesman to compensate. Not worth it, it is really not worth it.”
Lea stayed silent, having nothing to say.
However, Elvis retaliated, “From the moment they chose to mate with Ellie, they had submitted their fate into the hands of that female. It is their own decision, and not the mistake of others.”
Gu Mengmeng held Elvis’ face and pecked it, “I know you’re worried about me, but Ellie isn’t Nina. I do not wish to kill the innocent before she does anything practical. Furthermore, I still want to use her to bait the big fish.”
Elvis thought about it for a moment before nodding silently, then turned around to break off a branch that was as thick as an arm, “How about we tie her here tomorrow for you to bait?”
Gu Mengmeng put her face in her palm, “Hubby, the fish I want to bait do not refer to the ones in the water, but the people behind her, so… Uh… We won’t have to use this.”
Elvis was slightly disappointed. He was still hoping that after the fish had been caught, Ellie would be useless, and could be quickly dealt with.
Lea looked at Gu Mengmeng, asking, “You want to use Ellie to lure out the people of Sauder?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded, “Correct.”
“How?” Lea frowned, having a bad omen.
Gu Mengmeng did not reply Lea, only asking with a smile, “How far away are we from Sauder?”
Lea’s gaze fixated on a direction, remained silent for a moment before replying, “It will take about half a day’s journey. We can probably reach by tomorrow afternoon.”
Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea’s gaze, filled with emotions from returning to his hometown, and felt a little reluctant as she asked, “Is this your first time back to Sauder?”
Lea shook his head, then nodded, “When Saint Nazaire was first established, I came here once with Elvis. However, we did not enter, only saving Maya at the outskirts before leaving. Since then, it has always been Elvis who brought people to protect Nina to attend the beauty pageant while I take care of home in Saint Nazaire.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded, patting Lea’s shoulder gently, “You don’t have to accompany me inside if you feel pressured.”
However, Lea smiled, his long narrow eyes becoming loving and stable when it met with Gu Mengmeng’s. His voice lowered, talking speed slowed, pronouncing each word slowly, “It’s not accompanying you. It is because you are here that I have the courage to face it.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled. Perhaps the moonlight was too gentle, which made her smile extraordinarily tranquil in that moment. The sounds were like the melody of the moonlight, it could not be heard by the ears, but could be seen clearly by the eyes, and felt… by the heart.
“It is my honour.” Gu Mengmeng replied.
Elvis hesitated for a brief moment, but eventually broke this quiet and beautiful moment. He frowned, “Lea, before you left Sauder, were there anyone from the Snake tribe in Sauder?”
Lea recalled seriously before shaking his head, “No. Sauder was the tribe of the snow foxes, and they were responsible for following the messengers of the Beast Deity, looking down upon anyone outside of their tribe. Other than the annual beauty pageant, it is not permitted for any other tribe to step foot into Sauder, much less join it. Snake tribe… never heard of it.”
