If one word of forgiveness could set Gu Mengmeng’s heart at ease, then he would say it.
Whether it was Peter, Natalie or anyone else, as long as it was someone whom Mengmeng wanted him to forgive, he would do so.
Although he really no longer cared about things such as a mother’s love, if Mengmeng felt that he would be happier if Natalie lived on, then he would look happy for her.
Anyway, he was willing to do anything to bring joy to Gu Mengmeng.
Moreover, seeing her so concerned over him, how could he not be happy?
“It will be a tedious journey back. Do you want to go have a chat with the Beast Deity?” Elvis suggested.
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “I prefer to chat with you two.”
Would Elvis ever not want to have Gu Mengmeng accompanying him? It was just that Gu Mengmeng was always in such a good mood after her visits to the Beast Deity. Although he felt lonely whenever she was in deep sleep, he always wanted more happiness for her.
Wabei looked at Gu Mengmeng resentfully. “Why don’t you just go visit him… we can travel much faster when you are asleep. If we continue at this pace, I will have become a dried snake by the time we reach Saint Nazaire…”
Gu Mengmeng knew Wabei was speaking the truth, but she also knew… he was just worried that Snakel would be too lonely, and wanted her to go accompany him.
But Wabei obviously didn’t know that she was unable to communicate with Snakel whenever she was with the Beast Deity. She could only watch him interact with her other self through a heavenly screen.
But as she observed Wabei’s skin become increasingly dry and dull, Gu Mengmeng felt rather sorry.
Just to retrieve the Kiss of the Ocean, they had dragged him up here even though it was obviously an unsuitable time of the year for him.
If visiting the Beast Deity to watch another drama episode would make Wabei a little more comfortable, then she would go.
Gu Mengmeng took a breath and said. “Alright, so as to not be a burden to everyone, I will go accompany my dear old dad after lunch.”
With that, Wabei promptly started behaving like he had been possessed by Auretin’s spirit, constantly obsessing over lunch. Under Wabei’s various threats and enticements, their lunchtime was brought forward by two whole hours.
But after Gu Mengmeng finally finished eating and was preparing to nestle in Elvis’ arms to sleep, Wabei started fidgeting awkwardly beside her. He coughed. “Could you ask the great Beast Deity, if he could also send me over…”
This was already the second time Wabei broached this request to Gu Mengmeng. It seemed like he wasn’t asking on impulse, but had truly put in much thought to this matter.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t wish to give Wabei false hope only to disappoint him, and so didn’t answer. She just patted his shoulder without a word, before snuggling into Elvis’ embrace and shutting her eyes.
The white mist following sleep gathered around. This feeling was quite wondrous. She didn’t know how the Beast Deity always managed to know when she wished to see him. This didn’t happen during her usual slumbers. But whenever she fell asleep with thoughts of meeting the Beast Deity, she would definitely meet him. To say it was a coincidence… things couldn’t be that coincidental.
In the message left behind by Wang Xiaoxin, he clearly said that only when she had committed any grievously wrong actions, would the Beast Deity appear in her dreams to guide her…
“Daughter, you have come back.” The Beast Deity smiled benevolently. His 29-year-old-face speaking the words of an old man—Gu Mengmeng was already numb towards that contradictory and weird image.
