Chapter 992 - The Mark Has Changed
Gu Mengmeng didn’t have time to bother about him. Elvis was carrying Gu Mengmeng and also didn’t have time to bother about him. Lea was free, but he was just a fourth-level beast and not good enough for fighting…
Therefore, Wabei focused his attention on Cole.
“I heard you were the king of stray beasts?” Wabei asked.
Cole chuckled. “Would I dare to call myself a king before the great Wabei.”
Wabei really didn’t like such pretentious people. He harrumphed. “I saw that you were being rather arrogant when putting the squeeze on Gu Mengmeng earlier. Why so cowardly now?”
Cole didn’t get angry. “I have always been respectful towards people whom I cannot afford to offend.”
It was true that Cole couldn’t win Wabei in a fight.
There was once a person who could defeat Wabei, and that was Snake. A pity he was already dead.
Now, only Gu Mengmeng could win Wabei, but unfortunately she was otherwise occupied…
Wabei intoned: It was so boring and meaningless when one had no worthy opponents…
Wabei glanced askance at Cole. “Be a coward if you must, why spout so much nonsense?”
Without even bothering to wait for Cole’s response, Wabei just walked straight to Gu Mengmeng’s side. “Gu Mengmeng, what’s our next step? When are we getting in a fight? I have hibernated an entire winter and my bones are all stiff!”
Gu Mengmeng shot Wabei an impatient glare. “Do you think I have violent tendencies? Where to squeeze out so many fights for you. Don’t bother me when I am taking care of my son.”
Wabei pointed at Chixuan. “He is already a grown male, does he still need you to take care of him? I don’t care. You better give me a good fight.”
Gu Mengmeng was really annoyed now. She gestured for Wabei to come over. Wabei threw back his shoulders and walked to Gu Mengmeng’s side, whereby she gave him one tight smack which sent him flying far away. He crashed through seven to eight trees, knocking all of them over before coming to a stop.
This time, not just Wabei—even Gu Mengmeng herself was stunned.
Her strength… when did it become so great?
In the past, Wabei would stop after hitting a tree and at most knock one over. Today, she had even purposely held back… what happened?
Wabei rubbed the blood off the corner of his lips. He returned to Gu Mengmeng’s side in a whoosh and stared fixedly at Gu Mengmeng. After hesitating for a long time, he said, “Let me see the mark behind your neck.”
Gu Mengmeng pulled her hair aside and turned to let Wabei take a look.
Wabei was momentarily stunned. He shook his head. “It’s not him… it’s not him… how did this happen? Why is it not him…”
“What?” Gu Mengmeng didn’t know what was going on. She was rather worried at Wabei’s horrified expression.
Wabei stared at Gu Mengmeng intensely with eyes bulging. He grabbed her by the shoulders. “Go visit your father. Go now! Ask him what happened to Snake?!”
Gu Mengmeng touched the back of her neck. She couldn’t see what had changed with the mark and could only look to Lea for help. He was already standing behind her and scrutinizing the mark on her neck. She used her eyes to seek clarification on what was the matter with Snake’s mark.
Lea was a fox. He might be able to discern the slightest bit of difference between four-legged animals, but as for snakes…
In Lea’s eyes, every snake looked the same.
Lea shook his head, indicating that he had no idea.
Gu Mengmeng had no choice but to look at Wabei again. “Don’t act crazy. Tell me what happened so that I know what to ask. You are already over 800 years old. Don’t go making a fuss over any little thing.”
Wabei pointed at the mark at the back of Gu Mengmeng’s neck with trembling fingers. He finally spoke after a long while. “The mark at the back of your neck is not Snake anymore. The mark has changed.”
