The demon stretched out his hand with his palm up, gesturing for Gu Mengmeng to hand over her tiny hand.
Gu Mengmeng was helpless. She accompanied herself with the actor’s lines “Hold the Emperor”, before obediently handing her tiny hand to the demon.
It was only then that the demon was finally satisfied, his pupils slowly returning to their normal shape. He looked down at Gu Mengmeng, “Snake, my name.”
Gu Mengmeng, “Oh.”
Snake was displeased, “I’m not called ”Oh.“
Gu Mengmeng presented a fake smile like that of customer service staff, “Mighty King Snake, may your fortune be as boundless as the East Sea and your life last long like the South Mountain!”
The edges of Snakel’s lips lifted gently, “Call again.”
Like a repeater, Gu Mengmeng called “Snakel” over and over for half an hour before the young sir was finally appeased. Happily, he grabbed Gu Mengmeng and carried her in his arms, “I will stay true to my word, bring you to see your wild men, and prove to you that I set them free.”
“Eh? You’re willing to let me see them?” Gu Mengmeng’s eyes lit up like that of little does, not being able to control how wide her smile got, looking as if she was glowing.
Snake’s eyes wobbled from Gu Mengmeng’s smile, slightly jealous as he looked away coldly, throwing “Stop smiling, that’s ugly” at her.
Gu Mengmeng used her hands to cover her mouth as she nodded agreeably, “I won’t smile I won’t smile, I’m too ugly.”
Snake brought Gu Mengmeng to walk around over half of the valley, until they reached the entrance of a cave.
Colorful snakes slithered outside the cave. There was barely any place for mosquitoes to land, much less for one to find a place to step on. Gu Mengmeng had a fear of snakes, so she got goosebumps all over and subconsciously hid in Snakel’s arms. And that tiny action, gave Snake joy.
He did not say a word nor slow down, only walking straight ahead.
The pit of snakes immediately made way for Snakel to cross, and after he did, they merged together again, sealing the pathway.
Upon entrance into the cave, Snakel placed Gu Mengmeng on the ground, but still refused to let go, only grabbing tightly onto her hand.
With a single glance, Gu Mengmeng spotted Elvis and Lea who had fainted, lying on the ground. She also noticed Ian, who had been thrown aside, incapable of transformation back to human form.
“Hubby! Lea? Ian?” Gu Mengmeng wanted to run over to check on their injuries, but Snake grabbed tightly onto her hand, now allowing her to go over.
Gu Mengmeng turned back to look at Snakel, “You agreed to free them!”
Snake looked up, “If you care too much for them, it would make me regret my decision.”
Gu Mengmeng stiffened at her original position, “I don’t, I don’t care at all. Don’t regret, please save them quickly.”
Snakel’s expression darkened, as he pulled Gu Mengmeng into his arms and held on tightly. He pushed her tiny face into his chest, then transformed his lower body into a snake beast, straightening the scales on his tail. He pierced a tiny wound on Elvis, Lea and Ian’s bodies respectively before retracting his tail, transforming back to human form and releasing Gu Mengmeng a little, allowing her to turn around to look at the three of them without being able to leave his embrace.
“Uh…” Elvis frowned, the first to make a slight sound.
Overjoyed, Gu Mengmeng shouted, “Hubby, hubby?”
Elvis slowly opened his eyes, his blurry vision slowly overlapping as he took a breath, replying, “Xiao Meng…”
