Chapter 1001 - He Completely Satisfies All My Notions Of A Hero!
“But we were still not a match for him. At one point, Hede, Jialue and I couldn’t even get up after being thrown down. And that stray beast had no intention of letting us off…” Kanwu’s tone suddenly shifted as his emotions dampened, causing Gu Mengmeng to hold her breath in anxiety. She clenched her fists nervously, frowning so hard that her eyebrows were touching.
“Just as that third-level beast was about to charge over and bite us to death, second brother flew over like a heavenly god to stand in his way.” Suddenly, Kanwu’s spirits lifted once again. He turned and pointed at Chixuan. “Although we could only see second brother’s back view at that time, that was enough to bowl me over. His dominance, his mightiness, his toughness. He completely satisfies all my notions of a hero!”
Gu Mengmeng couldn’t help smiling at Kanwu’s fan-boy narration. “And then?”
Kanwu lowered his head and looked at Gu Mengmeng with much regret and dismay. He twisted his lips. “Then I fainted… by the time I woke up, the four of us were already inside the cave. And goodness knows where that third-level beast went.”
“Fainted?” Gu Mengmeng was at a loss for words. He actually fainted at the most exciting part.
Kanwu nodded with an aggrieved expression. “Yes, I fainted. Thereafter, no matter how much I begged second brother to tell me what happened, he refuses… mother, can you help me ask?”
Gu Mengmeng looked at Chixuan, who was pursing his lips and looking very conflicted. He obviously didn’t wish to say.
You and your second brother are so close, and he wouldn’t even tell you. Why would he tell me? Mothers can’t control their sons after they have grown up. At your age now, don’t you all have some secrets, which even if the whole world knew, you will still never tell your parents.”
Kanwu lifted his brows. “No way. I have no secrets from mother. No matter what it is, as long as mother asks me, I will tell you.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. She stood on tiptoe and caressed Kanwu’s head. “Mmm, I will believe you for the time being.”
Kanwu swung Gu Mengmeng’s arm childishly. “Mother, help me ask second brother. Let me tell you, he is very scared of you. If you ask him, he will not dare to refuse.”
Gu Mengmeng pointed at her own nose. “Scared of me?”
Normally…
She had always been a loving, motherly figure right? She had never said a harsh word to her sons, not to mention even raising a finger at them.
What reason did he have to be scared of her?
Kanwu leaned towards Gu Mengmeng’s ear. “He is scared of you crying. He is helpless the moment he sees you cry.”
Gu Mengmeng blushed as she recalled how terribly she had sobbed in front of her son that day.
Before she could say “stop fooling around”, Kanwu was thrown forward and crashed into his three brothers like a bowling ball.
The four brothers collapsed in a messy heap. Already injured, they now laid there groaning and moaning.
Meanwhile, the offender Elvis, just lifted Gu Mengmeng with one hand and looked down at them. “If you dare make my female cry again, I will kill you all.”
Kanwu wanted to retaliate, but was pulled back by Jialue.
Jialue then stood up and patted the dust off from his body. “There’s a loophole in your statement.”
Elvis raised his brows but kept silent.
The adult Jialue now had eyes that looked increasingly like Gu Mengmeng’s, innocent and clear. Those amber pupils reflected the dappled sunlight, like stars glittering in the sky. One could not bear to speak a single harsh word to him, but would instead wish to offer him all that was good in this world.
