Chapter 547 - To Protect You, of Course.
“Oh.” Gu Mengmeng rubbed her face, adjusted her expression, looked at Snake and asked, “Hey, since you have your father’s memory, can you analyze with me, why did your mother ask others to treat the “300 Poems of the Tang” as some esoterica?”
Snake could not control his laughter, he looked at Gu Mengmeng and said, “To protect you, of course.”
“Me?” Gu Mengmeng pointed to her own nose with a confused face.
Snake nodded his head and continued, “The Messengers of the Beast Deity are people who are smart but weak in terms of physical abilities. If there were no form of safety mechanism present to prove your identity, it would be highly possible that you are killed before becoming the Messenger. My mother beast left the book and a blindly-devoted tribe as an amulet for you. Sadly, the present tribe leader is an unloyal one.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded her head in agreement and said, “But your mother was powerful enough, nobody dared to provoke Sauder for a thousand over years due to its title of being the messenger tribe, you could see how powerful she was just from that.”
Snake rubbed Gu Mengmeng little head and said, “Weren’t you the one that said she was a funny and ridiculous person moments ago?”
Gu Mengmeng let out an awkward laughter and said, “You can’t fault me on that, did you know what was the ritual speech and dance your mother passed down? The famous square-dancing song ‘Little Apple’, in English some more. Let me tell you, if not for the wild girls in my hostel… I would never have known this song.”
Snake raised his eyebrows and said, “Yea? Let me hear it.”
Gu Mengmeng almost wanted to bite her tongue to her own death.
She shook her head and said, “No no, the style of that famous song is no match to my coolness.”
Snake raised his head and said, “No? Then I am gonna eat you up.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned and said, “Hiss… Can’t you get a little more creative? Using the same trick to threaten me every time, it will lose its effectiveness.”
With squinted eyes and vertical pupils, Snake opened his mouth slowly and showed his poisonous fangs dripping venoms, as he slowly edged closer towards Gu Mengmeng…
Gu Mengmeng said cowardly, “Mighty King, relax, I will sing.”Read more chapter at vipnovel
Snake returned back to his cool self in the split of a second, before looking at Gu Mengmeng with the ‘Please begin your performance’ face.
Gu Mengmeng pulled her wrist and said, “Mighty King, could you release your grip first?”
Snake shook his head and said, “Just sing like this.”
“Understood!” Gu Mengmeng cleared her throat and sang the Chinese version of ‘Little Apple’ once, with some English lyrics intertwined. This was actually an embarrassing song, especially as it gave people the urge to dance along with it as it was sang… As though being cursed.
That night, Snake made an exception for Gu Mengmeng to sleep late, he watched her danced the ‘Little Apple’ for almost the entire night with smiles in his eyes, until she was so tired that she lay on the ground and would not get up no matter what. Snake then wrapped her up with a hide, stretched his arms and slept at a distance of two arms away from her.
His body was too cold, even his blood was freezing.
No matter how much he wanted to approach her, he knew that even someone as warm as her could not heat up his soul that had been frozen for a thousand year old. Rather than making her sick again, he would let her have her own warmth, while he would… just look at her from afar. After all, he had been used to the coldness.
The next morning, Gu Mengmeng was awoken by the noise of cries.
“Snake, get the hell out now! I am going to challenge you!”
Gu Mengmeng rubbed her eyes, stood up and asked in a daze, “Who’s that… So noisy…”
