This was the first time the few tribe elders met Gu Mengmeng after she came back.
The scruple and submission they had towards Gu Mengmeng in the past was due to her title as the messenger of the Beast Deity. Now, their fear towards her was just merely because of her presence.
That person was still herself, petite and delicate.
But they could not see her past wit and purity in those clear eyes anymore. Instead, all they could see was emptiness, yeah, it’s empty. An emptiness full of conceit.
The few tribe elders were still celebrating in delight when Gu Mengmeng banished Cole because they thought that this new messenger who had all emotions written over her face was easier to control than Cole who always used refined tricks and never allowed for a single sloppy work.
But now, they realized they were utterly wrong.
Was it because the past Gu Mengmeng had concealed herself too well or was it because something that turned the world upside down happened in the past month?
It was only a month…..what kind of change could have happened?
And that was….
The few tribe elders exchanged glances with one another and used merely the time of one breath to reach a common consensus — Gu Mengmeng hid her scheming side well and her previous naivety was all fake.
Was it a test? Gu Mengmeng handing an unstable Sauder over to just a second-level orc Oakley and leaving only two third-level orcs as a support to suppress the situation before bringing Elvis and Lea away to the Snake King Valley with her heart at ease…..everything was just a test?
The few tribe elders’ knees weakened and they instantly kneeled on the ground with a plop, their bodies starting to shake uncontrollably as they thought to themselves: “Wrong move wrong move!”
“Mighty messenger cease your anger….we just wanted to enshrine and worship the esoterica properly. We have no other intentions.” A tribe elder spoke up with guilt. He himself did not know why he had so much difficulty trying to maintain his calmness in front of Gu Mengmeng but the suppressed atmosphere lingering in the entire room made him lose his breath.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and said, “Enshrine and worship ha, I remembered the rules stating that only the Leader and the witch doctor can inherit the esoterica, right?”
The tribe elder did not dare to raise his head as he could only admit to her words with his head lowered.
Gu Mengmeng continued, “I’ve brought away both the leader and the witch doctor, what position are you in to enshrine and worship the esoterica?”
The tribe elder was speechless upon hearing the question. How could he have the nerve to admit that he assumed Gu Mengmeng, Elvis and Lea would never return so he then dared to force Oakley in handing over the esoterica?
Seeing how the tribe elder was keeping quiet, Gu Mengmeng sniggered and said, “And moreover, even if I place the esoterica in front of you, do you know what’s written on it? Enshrine and worship…..you’re so hopelessly stupid.”
The tribe elder’s body became colder with every word from Gu Mengmeng and eventually, he shook so hard until he shivered with fear with his head still lowered.
Gu Mengmeng did not have much patience to continue speaking nonsense to these few willful fellows. Snake’s thousand years of experience and subsidence created a huge change to the calmness of her mind. No matter how much he tried to convince her into not using his identity to consider matters, those thousand years worth of memories had already engraved itself into her body and started to influence her temper.
If it was in the past, Gu Mengmeng would definitely stomp her feet in a rage when faced with these fellows who took advantage of their seniority. Then, she would look at Elvis or Lea in hope that they would help her solve these nuisances and then pacify her.
But now, she just felt that these people are really childish and boring.
It was neither funny nor something to be angry over.
Her emotions were as calm as an ancient well and had no great waves.
Shaking her hands, she said, “I’ve already mated with Lea so the snow-fox tribe will also be my tribesmen. I won’t be biased towards Saint Nazaire and neglect you guys but please don’t always annoy me with such trivial matters. Believe me, you guys won’t be willing to see me angry.”
