Chapter 1226 - I Miss You So Much!
Gu Mengmeng’s habit was that she would always go visit Sandy first after arriving at Sauder. This was her usual practice which didn’t need any prior announcement.
With a pack of wolves following Elvis, it was not convenient for him to head over to Sandy’s. Hence, he had no choice but to hand Gu Mengmeng over to Lea, while he took this opportunity to go settle some of his wolf king affairs.
At the borders of Sandy’s territory, Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng. “Don’t chat too long with Sandy and don’t bring back any of her cubs, mmm?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded with a smile, before hugging Elvis’ neck as she kissed him. “Go settle your wolf pack matters. I will return to the stone castle after visiting Sandy.”
Elvis tightened his grip on Gu Mengmeng’s hand. He rubbed his chin in the crook of Gu Mengmeng’s neck. “If anything happens, just knock on my mark. I will rush over.”
Gu Mengmeng laughed. “Have you forgotten? I am also a Beast King.”
“As powerful as you are, you are still my female. There is no way I won’t be worried.” Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng on the brow again. “Be a good girl.”
“Alright, I know.” If Gu Mengmeng didn’t promise, Elvis would pester her the entire day and she wouldn’t be able to go visit Sandy anymore, while he wouldn’t be able go settle his affairs.”
Still reluctant, Elvis finally handed her over to Lea. “Take good care of her.”
“Yes Lord Wolf King.” Lea teased before carrying Gu Mengmeng and continuing onto Sandy’s house.
Mmm, this was the advantage of being a witch doctor—he could go anywhere and enter any territory.
Sandy could hardly sit still on hearing that Gu Mengmeng had returned. She had been pacing up and down the entrance of her home. If not for Collin holding her back and telling her that Gu Mengmeng, as the Messenger of the Beast Deity, would definitely have to settle some official matters on arriving in Sauder and that Sandy’s presence would be a disruption—Sandy would have immediately dashed over to the meeting room to find her.
The moment she spied Gu Mengmeng, the corners of Sandy’s lips lifted subconsciously. Her smile was as lovely as the a spring breeze in March, warm and soothing.
Gu Mengmeng jumped down from Lea’s arms and ran to hug Sandy. The two of them were already mothers but still full of girlish enthusiasm. They held each others’ hands and exchanged foolish smiles. They had a gazillion things to tell each other, but it all merged into just one sentence: “I miss you so much!”
While Gu Mengmeng and Sandy basked in each others’ company, Elvis sat on a huge rock upon an empty space in one corner of Sauder. Indolent and calm, his eyes were as placid and boundless as the the night sky. There was no emotion at all on his face, with only the slightest furrowing of his brows indicating that he was impatient of the current proceedings.
Nearly a hundred beasts stood in the empty space, all of them single wolf beasts attracted by the Beast King. Elvis could even feel that there were some partnered wolf beasts who were trying to convince their own partners to go to Sauder and be under Elvis’ protection.
“Lord Wolf king, please consider this carefully. We should have a territory that belongs to us. With your present status, how could we stay together with the other races?” One of the wolf beasts spoke up.
Yes, the first problem that Elvis had to face was the matter of racial territories.
There had only been one Beast King in the past, and that was Snakel.
So Snakel’s behavior had become the standard to which all new Beast Kings had to adhere to.
Snakel created a Snake King valley where all snake beasts living inside enjoyed the protection of the Beast King. So now, the wolf beasts felt that they should also have their own territory. It could be called Wolf King Valley or Wolf King Mountains, or something like that…
But there was no way they could mix around with the other races who had no Beast King.
