Chapter 96 - What A Fair Leader!
Obviously, Sandy did not know what was gender discrimination because it was the correct principle in the Beast World to always let females have priority access to all resources.
However…
It was the correct principle for females in the Beast World to be willful, especially the First Beauty of the tribe like Gu Mengmeng. Whatever they wished to do, they would do it. Let alone a mere water shuttle, even if Gu Mengmeng picked up a rock from the ground and claimed it to be a delicacy, males would still stand out to chew it into powder form and comment on its good taste.
Anyway, males would be the one who finishes the bad-tasting food so Sandy did not persist further and treated it as playing around with Gu Mengmeng. Thus, she nodded her head and said, “Alright then, I’ll follow whatever you say but let’s make it clear that after you roast the water shuttle, let’s roast meat.”
“Ok.” Gu Mengmeng nodded and then looked behind Sandy to see Elvis, Lea, Bode and other males of Sandy who wanted to come closer but were dreadful. She touched her chin and gave a sneaky smile, “We can’t let Elvis prepare everyone’s ingredients all alone, right? How about asking the few from your family to help out?”
Sandy turned back to look at Bode and just when she wanted to nod her head, she hesitated and peeked at Elvis and Lea with the corners of her eyes. She whispered to Gu Mengmeng softly, “Helping out is fine but Elvis has to agree first.”
Gu Mengmeng glanced over at Elvis in uncertainty and shrugged her shoulders, not understanding her meaning, “What do you mean?”
Sandy scrunched up her nose towards Gu Mengmeng, putting on a despising expression. Then she inched closer and whispered in an even softer voice, “Elvis is the leader of the tribe and he has priority over hunting rights. Wherever he is, as long as one steals his prey within the area which he has his scent, that would be considered as a challenge and the person would be punished relentlessly by him. Bode and the rest… are not Elvis’s competitors.”
Gu Mengmeng opened her mouth, forming a ^0^ expression and nodded her head, not fully understanding the issue. She then turned back and look at Elvis, asking him, “Leader, can we ask Sandy’s males to help us prepare the food?”
Elvis patted Gu Mengmeng’s little head in an indulgent way and after confirming that she was not bleeding from the nose anymore, he felt his chest relaxing and his mood became brighter together. Pulling Gu Mengmeng into his arms in one tug, he hugged her with one hand and his eyes were filled with connivance that could melt into water anytime. He said with a deep and thick voice that resembled the sonata of a cello, “Everything here is up to you.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and stuck out a thumb at Elvis, “What a fair leader!”
Elvis was already used to Gu Mengmeng blurting out words that were not heard before and he did not even bother to find out what was the meaning of fair. Watching her expression, he figured out that it did not seem to be a bad word so he accepted it with pleasure.
Gu Mengmeng jumped off from Elvis’s embrace and raised her head, like a fox assuming the majesty of the tiger. Thinking herself slightly to be a small person intoxicated by success, she cleared her throat and announced, “Those who want to eat later, prepare your own ingredients.”
Once Gu Mengmeng said those words, the males’ excitement were all ignited.
“Gu Mengmeng, can we eat with you?” Amidst all the cheers, this question was raised one after another.
Gu Mengmeng nodded her head and said, “Of course, food is tastier if we eat all together.”
“Oh~~” A loud cheer erupted for a moment and all single males went their own ways to hunt for prey.
This was a good chance to showcase their sharp skills to Gu Mengmeng and the reason why she planned all of these must be to test them and see whose hunting ability was the strongest. That was why she asked everyone to stay for a meal. After all, they were entering winter and the hunting ability was naturally the first factor in choosing a partner!
Thinking about this, the single males felt a stronger vigor to hunt. All of them converted their vigor into strength and challenged the hardest difficulties. After all, they had to rely on this only chance to see whether they were able to find themselves a partner before winter came!
