Wabei wanted to reach out to grab Gu Mengmeng’s arm, when he thought of Snake’s warning stare. He ended up opening up his arms to block Gu Mengmeng’s way. “You cannot leave before telling me how is he?”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “I thought you were never going to ask.”
Wabei glared at her. “I have waited here for two days and one night. How could I possibly not ask?”
Gu Mengmeng didn’t get angry but just sat down. Elvis knew Gu Mengmeng didn’t want to talk about Snake in front of him so he turned back into the cave to tidy up the bed she had just slept in.
Wabei sat beside Gu Mengmeng and kept silent for a moment before saying, “I want to know if he is doing well. If he has anyone to fight with…”
Gu Mengmeng raised her head to enjoy the sunlight. “He is doing well very, and is still the one and only mighty Snake. He holds a highly respected and powerful status. However, there doesn’t seem to be anyone as formidable as you for Snake to practice his fighting with, and no one who dares to go against him. Nevertheless, don’t worry, he is not lonely. Because over there… there is another me accompanying him.”
Wabei was shocked. “You can accompany him? Does that me I can too? Can you bring me over to visit him? I… I want to fight him.”
Gu Mengmeng giggled and patted Wabei’s shoulder. She shook her head. “I am just the Messenger of the Beast Deity and not the Beast Deity himself. I don’t have such a huge ability.”
Wabei kept silent for a moment before looking up again at Gu Mengmeng. “What if I can help you find those items you are seeking? As a reward, can you help me appeal to the Beast Deity to let me stay by Snake’s side?”
Gu Mengmeng thought for a moment and nodded. “I can help you appeal, but I cannot guarantee results.”
Wabei nodded seriously. “Good. It’s just Kiss of the Ocean and Love of the Sky and whatever. I can find them for you. By then, remember your promise.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and Wabei left without turning back.
After Wabei left, Elvis reappeared and hugged Gu Mengmeng. “He traveled such a long distance to pick a fight and you let him leave just like that?”
Gu Mengmeng leaned against Elvis. “The weather has been so dry and he has been out here for two days. His snake skin is nearly splitting apart. I can’t bear to strike him…”
Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s delicate little face without a word.
The issue of water source…
He and Lea would definitely resolve it.
“I have not been to visit Chixuan for two days. He must be worried sick. I am going to visit my son,” Gu Mengmeng said.
Elvis didn’t object and just escorted her to the borders of Saint Nazaire.
On her own, Gu Mengmeng walked to Cole’s cave and suddenly felt something was not quite right.
She hastily entered the cave to find it empty.
Cole had gone, while Chixuan had also disappeared…
All the daily living essentials had also been emptied out. The cave had obviously been abandoned.
Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists and looked towards a distance. She gritted her teeth. “Cole!”
Gu Mengmeng searched about for a long while but Cole didn’t leave any trace behind. Helpless, she returned to Saint Nazaire to find Lea and Elvis already waiting for her return.
Elvis frowned upon seeing her distressed face.
She had been fine when she woke up. Why the sudden change after visiting Chixuan?
