Chapter 456 - I’ll Die, It’s Better Than You Dying.
Gu Mengmeng took a step forward and slapped Ian’s chest, exclaiming, “True man, I didn’t know that you are still quite capable!”
Ian frowned and took a step backwards. “Just say your words, don’t touch others as you wish.”
Gu Mengmeng rubbed her palms together and said, “Since you found the food, you’re the king, I won’t touch you if you don’t like it alright~”
Gu Mengmeng left Ian behind her and rushed into the bamboo forest in big steps. She checked the ground in detail with her large eyes. Fortunately, she inherited Elvis’s night vision or else she could not see a thing right now.
Elvis and Lea were at a loss of what to do and they did not know what Gu Mengmeng was searching for so they could only follow behind her and wait for her instructions.
Gu Mengmeng walked ten over steps before she suddenly stopped. Then, she darted off in a jiffy.
Elvis and Lea did not know what she planned to do, so they hurriedly ran after her. But, all they saw was Gu Mengmeng squatting in front of a bamboo while rubbing her little hands together and giving off a sneaky smirk, looking like a pervert planning to molest a maidservant.
Lea stepped forward and squatted next to Gu Mengmeng. Pointing to the little bamboo shoots, he asked, “Do you want to eat this?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded before turning around to scan her surroundings.
Lea asked again, “What are you looking for?”
Gu Mengmeng answered, “Hmm…..those things that can be used as tools to dig them out.”
Lea extended his hand and gently pinched the tip of the bamboo shoot. Then, he slowly exerted strength and pulled the bamboo shoot out from the soil like he did not use much energy at all…..
“Dang…..” Gu Mengmeng could not help but shake her head and clap her hands. The roots of the bamboo shoots were grown so deep down in the soil for god knows how many meters but he just plucked it out with his bare hands like that?!
“Stop,” When Lea pulled it out to a certain height, Gu Mengmeng suddenly shouted. Lea stared at Gu Mengmeng, not moving an inch as if someone pressed the stop button on him. Gu Mengmeng roughly measured a position on the bamboo shoot and instructed, “Come, cut it down from here. We just need this portion, there’s no need to pull all the roots out as well.”
Lea followed her instructions and broke the bamboo shoot cleanly before giving it to Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng stared at the thick and soft bamboo shoots, a lustful smile forming on her face. Touching the outside of the bamboo shoot, she looked like she was taking off the damn belly-band of a maidservant.
Elvis stepped forward and without saying a word, he directly took away the bamboo shoot from Gu Mengmeng’s hands and chomped a large piece before chewing it in front of her.
Gu Mengmeng was shocked as she cried out, “You eat potatoes and sweet potatoes raw and now you’re eating bamboo shoots raw too?!”
Elvis looked at Gu Mengmeng as if he had just eaten faeces. Swallowing the bamboo shoot down with much difficulty, he said, “You can dig the bamboo shoot but you’ve to wait until I’m fine tomorrow before you can eat.”
Gu Mengmeng was dumbfounded before she reacted to his words after a while and asked, “So you’ve been……testing the poison for me all this while?”
Elvis replied, “Of course I’ve to try the food that we didn’t eat before being letting you eat it.”
Gu Mengmeng was very touched but worried at the same time. She punched Elvis’s chest and asked, “What if you’re poisoned?”
Elvis smiled and let Gu Mengmeng act wildly in his arms. He casually said, “I’m very strong, normal poisons can’t claim my life. Furthermore, don’t we have Lea?”
Gu Mengmeng glared at him and asked, “What if Lea can’t treat you?”
Elvis kissed the top of Gu Mengmeng’s head and pinched her puffed-up cheeks, saying, “Then, I’ll die, it’s better than you dying.”
