Chapter 763
Fei Rui finally managed to coax Melinda into stopping her tears. He then held her little hand and led her to Gu Mengmeng. Looking at Gu Mengmeng with some trepidation, he said, “Great Messenger, can my sister leave with us…”
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head. “I just came in to confirm that your sister is alright. You have to ask Carter whether we can bring your sister along with us.”
Gu Mengmeng’s words stunned both Fei Rui and Melinda. Even Carter was shocked.
The three pairs of eyes widened in confusion as they looked at Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng shrugged. “Of course, no one can stop me if I decide to snatch her away today. But… do you want the reputation of being a thief to always hang over Melinda’s head? Think carefully. If she were to leave with me today, it would be as good as admitting that she stole their treasure. She will never have the opportunity to clear her name in the future.”
Gu Mengmeng waved nonchalantly. “Well… even though just taking her away will be easier for me—after all, our deal was for me to just rescue your sister. It doesn’t include helping to clear her name and also doesn’t cover what happens after I leave… whether she will be snatched away again.”
“Then…” Fei Rui was once again in distress. He bit his lips. “No matter. I can bring my sister to another part of the ocean to start afresh. We will go somewhere far from here where no one knows us and no one can find us.”
Carter’s eyes narrowed at the mention of them leaving.
The veins on his fists throbbed fiercely, clearly indicating his anger.
Gu Mengmeng tugged at him and shook her head gently. She then gazed upon Melinda’s face with a warm smile.
Melinda completely fulfilled Gu Mengmeng’s fantasy of the perfect mermaid. She was not just stunning from behind.
Although she had been brainwashed by Elvis and Lea for over half a year into believing that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, Gu Mengmeng still felt a sense of inferiority standing before Melinda.
Having lived in the ocean for years, her skin was fair and smooth. The constant swimming also gave her body a slender physique, without the slightest trace of any excess fats. She was the embodiment of perfection. Her face was so pure that no one could bear to say a harsh word in her presence. She was the type of princess who should be loved and cherished.
Melinda completely revamped Gu Mengmeng’s knowledge of the Beast World. She was the most beautiful female Gu Mengmeng had ever seen in the Beast World. No one else could compare!
At this point, Melinda twisted her lower lip and hesitated for a long time. She then raised her head and looked at Gu Mengmeng with resolution. “No, I will not leave. I didn’t steal anything, why should I flee?”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed that Carter had also relaxed. He no longer looked like he was going to faint from holding his breath.
Gu Mengmeng walked before Fei Rui and patted his shoulder, gazing gently into his bright eyes. “I will stay by the seaside for awhile, to help Melinda settle this theft accusation. So that she can live honestly and openly anywhere she wants. Do you want to trust me this one time?”
“But..” Fei Rui looked in the direction of Carter with much reservation and animosity.
Without hesitating, Gu Mengmeng raised her hand and sent Carter flying off with one smack. She then slapped her hands together. “With me around, I want to see who will dare to bully my little mermaids.”
That one smack had Carter spitting out blood. Clutching his chest, he walked back to the group. “I guarantee that no one will harm Melinda.”
