Chapter 1096 - I’m Leaving.
In the end, Wabei came on shore and Gu Mengmeng did not cut him into slices and boil him with the lotus.
Because he came up after plucking all the lotuses in the water and after he did that, Gu Mengmeng only had those lotuses in her eyes. She totally forgot about her intention to cut Wabei up.
There was some distance between the lake and Saint Nazaire so they only reached the lake in the afternoon after setting off in the morning. Although Wabei had supreme abilities, he only had one tail and even though the other males went down the water to help out, they were not as agile in the water as Wabei so they took a lot of effort to pluck the lotuses out. Thus, when everyone finished plucking the lotuses out, it was already halfway through the night.
Gu Mengmeng finished her dinner during this period of time and she instructed the males to not wash the mud off the lotuses so as to maintain their freshness.
The atmosphere was always good when they camped in the wild for one night.
When Gu Mengmeng was not present, Saint Nazaire was always in a tensed state. The males with partners would make protecting their females as top priority while the single males would protect the tribe with all their might.
Although they were fond of battles, long battles eventually made them extremely tired.
It was unlike tonight where there was no bloodshed, where everyone surrounded the Messenger of the Beast Deity, laughing together and doing something that was not tough but needed a strong common will. This level of physical labor was not enough to make them fatigue. It was the first time in their lives when they were digging lotuses and splattering mud all over one another. At times, they would get it by lotuses and although they were not injured, they still continued playing around, chasing after one another.
Under the quiet night sky, everyone discussed about the interesting happenings in the day, spreading fits of laughter across everyone.
And in this kind of atmosphere, Gu Mengmeng did not make any dreams that night as she had a sound sleep.
The next morning, Gu Mengmeng woke up at her special spot and said with a husky voice, “Good morning~”
Elvis and Lea protected her in between them so that the cold night wind would not get to her. They placed their fluffy large tails gently on her eyes so that the sunlight would not blind her. Upon hearing her gentle good morning, they then kept their tails and landed their soft lips on both sides of her cheeks.
“Morning.”
“Morning.”
One sided was a deep and attractive voice, one side was as soothing as a cello, the combination of two different voices gave off a good harmony, symbolizing Gu Mengmeng’s good mood every morning.
After washing and dressing up, the lotuses were already carried on the backs of the males using tree vines they plucked during the night. Gu Mengmeng obviously need not carry them herself.
Wabei walked to Gu Mengmeng and peered at her in a condescending manner before saying, “I’m leaving.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled and nodded her head, saying, “Yeah, see you next year.”
Wabei did not say anything else as he turned and swam towards the direction of the Snake King valley.
Gu Mengmeng patted her own face before lying in Elvis’s arms. After issuing a command, they headed back to Saint Nazaire along the road they came from.
“You said it’s for digging the lotuses but it’s to send Wabei off, right?” Lea swayed his large tail and looked at Gu Mengmeng slyly.
Gu Mengmeng did not deny as she nodded her head honestly and explained, “I don’t like corny farewells and I don’t like him leaving after just sputtering a sentence ‘I’m leaving’. So, I wanted to send him off, at least he can have a fun and enjoyable time before we separate so that he won’t be too lonely during winter. If he needs to sleep for such a long time, he needs at least a little sweet dreams so that it won’t be so torturous for him.”
