Cole could not lift his head and that smile he always hung on his face was replaced with a flustered one. “It’s all servant’s fault for not having a sense of propriety and giving the mighty Lea the cold shoulder. Servant seek forgiveness from the mighty messenger, in the future… this kind of things won’t happen again.
Gu Mengmeng nodded and said, “Indeed, this kind of things won’t happen again because… I won’t come to Sauder in the future anymore.”
Cole’s gaze brightened for a moment, making it hard to tell whether his gaze was bright or dark.
After staying silent for a while, he said, “No matter where the mighty messenger is, Sauder will always be following your tribe. When you wish to come here, no matter where you are, we’ll always head out to welcome you. When you don’t wish to come….we’ll stay on the spot without going beyond our boundaries and await the mighty messenger’s mercy on us.
Gu Mengmeng thought to herself, “Oh my, you still have two sides to you, huh?? I didn’t know that you can talk so well when scolding our Lea.”
But thoughts were thoughts, Gu Mengmeng did not say anything out loud and just huddled herself up in Elvis’s arms. She turned her head away, implying that she wanted to ignore him.
Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng while saying, “How much more air are you deciding to waste?”
Cole did not lose his temper and just smiled. “That that female…”
Lea slowly stood up and dusted off the dirt on his body. “Didn’t Mengmeng say that it’s all up to you?”
Carl tightened his fist and bowed towards Lea. “Yes, mighty Lea.”
Lea was taken aback and gave a sarcastic smile. “This is my first time hearing this title from you, it’s quite fresh.”
Cole ignored Lea and bowed only at Gu Mengmeng before saying, “Then, subordinate will take his leave first.”
Gu Mengmeng did not care much about him and instead, saw Auretin walking towards them while carrying a large animal.
Gu Mengmeng waved her hands at him in delight and shouted, “Auretin, are you here to share a meal with us?”
Auretin was taken aback and wanted to laugh but did not know what to think about.
So this was how it felt to have something expecting your return. No wonder, he’s clearly not a family member of Gu Mengmeng’s family but every time he went to her, she would use the word ‘return’ unknowingly.
When Auretin and Cole brushed against each other, they did not pause or reduce the speed of their footsteps even by an inch. However, just within that split second, they still peered at each other with a baffling smell of gunpowder.
Auretin placed the gigantic animal on the ground, then said, “I was scared that I’ll break the beast horn you wanted so I could only bring back the entire animal. Let Elvis break it off for you and after that, I’ll handle the meat. We’re eating hotpot today.”
Auretin was still looking like someone with face paralysis when he was talking. He, himself, did not know when did he stop using facial expressions to express his emotions. Regardless of whether he was happy or sad, he would never show it on his face.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled loudly and patted Auretin’s arm, saying, “Hotpot is nice but we can’t eat it everyday. We shall eat something else today.”
We….
Auretin savored the word, it seemed like… this was the first time he heard this word.
Nodding his head, Auretin said, “I’m not picky, I eat everything.”
Gu Mengmeng asked, “Then do you eat bird eggs? Lea likes it a lot but Elvis doesn’t.”
Auretin thought over it for a while and remained silent before replying, “I think I’ll enjoy eating it.”
“Think?l” Gu Mengmeng laughed while asking, “Do you not know whether you enjoy it or not?”
Auretin shook his head and said, “I didn’t eat bird eggs before… so I’m not sure.”
Gu Mengmeng looked at Auretin with some form of pity and sorrow while saying, “You actually did not try bird eggs before?! Those who didn’t eat bird eggs before are not complete!”
