Chapter 38 - Barete’s Inferiority
Collin was very quick in handling the rabbit meat. In an instant, he returned with a thoroughly washed meat.
Gu Mengmeng received the rabbit meat blissfully and instructed Collin to find a thinner tree branch and sharpen one of the ends before skewing the meat through the branch. She tilted her head to look at Elvis and consulted him in a fawning and docile tone, “Leader, can I shift there to sit? I can’t put my abilities to good use if you hug me like this.”
Elvis liked the feeling of Gu Mengmeng huddling in his embrace just like how she was originally part of his body. He felt that he was only complete when he was hugging her.
But, he did not bear to disappoint her.
Thus, he nodded his head, allowing her to leave his embrace. However, when she was just less than half a meter away, he already felt the distance between them.
Gu Mengmeng was so hungry until she saw stars flying before her eyes. No matter how many handsome guys were standing in front of her, they could not compare to how good-looking the rabbit meat was.
“Roasted rabbit meat, my favorite~la la la la~” Gu Mengmeng hummed a little song in mixed accents while turning the rabbit meat.
Her self-contentment brought about another wave of shock to all the males in Saint Nazaire.
Gu Mengmeng knew how to sing?!
It was said that only females from the Mermaid Tribe had this ability, Gu Mengmeng had it too?!
Gu Mengmeng turned around unintentionally, catching Barete staring at her with a face filled with astonishment and shock. Thus, she lightly hit Barete’s arm with her elbow, “Why are you staring at me like that?”
Barete regained his composure abruptly then lowered his head, frowning.
For the first time, the proud warrior of Saint Nazaire, Barete, avoided the sight of his favorite female.
He started to doubt, was he good enough? Was he really fit to be Gu Mengmeng’s pursuer?
“What’s wrong?” Gu Mengmeng was more surprised. Barete had always been a straightforward male and had neither concealed anything nor acted bashful. Although his interest towards her came a little sudden and abrupt, but people were this strange. After someone whispered that they liked you for a hundred times, this person would definitely become a little special to you, regardless.
Even if you did not accept him, or did not even give him any response, as long as he did not disappear all of a sudden, you would definitely not adapt to it.
Gu Mengmeng was now like that.
All day long, Barete would wish that he could plant his eyes on Gu Mengmeng so badly. This time, she approached him on her own accord, so why was he avoiding her?
Barete clamped his lips and gave an irrelevant answer after seeing the tree branch that Gu Mengmeng was turning nimbly, “You’re not scared of the Flame… Devil?”
Gu Mengmeng grinned and answered, “As long as you use it appropriately, fire would not become Flame Devil. Look, isn’t it helping me roast this rabbit meat lovingly?”
Barete nodded his head on appearance, holding back more thoughts he had in his heart.
When this flame was ignited, he was holding onto the determination of sacrificing himself for her. It was fine even if he was engulfed by the Flame Devil but he definitely could not stand up and run away to prevent the Beast Deity from venting his anger onto Gu Mengmeng. But this determination, to Gu Mengmeng’s light-heartedness, looked extremely shabby.
He wanted to become a more outstanding male, a male that could match up to Gu Mengmeng.
But now, he was not sure whether he could even survive the Deity’s Punishment…
Gu Mengmeng thought that Barete’s anomaly was due to his fear towards fire so she heartlessly joked, “Since you’re so scared, why didn’t you run off just now?”
