Chapter 721: Are You Looking To Get Beaten Up?
“Sauder has some water wells, why don’t you go over there for a spell?” Despite not receiving any response, Cole continued to talk to Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng hugged Chixuan and kissed his tiny face. “My good son, continue your nap. Mother will leave now and come back tomorrow to visit you.”
With that, Gu Mengmeng placed Chixuan onto the bed and patted him gently on the back. She stood up to leave and didn’t even glance at Cole the entire time.
Watching Gu Mengmeng’s departing back profile, Cole smiled and rubbed Chixuan’s back. “Look, your mother is still throwing a tantrum. It seems like I must continue to cajole her. I will redouble my efforts.”
…
Returning to her own cave, Elvis had already heated up Gu Mengmeng’s bath water for her.
Just as Cole didn’t allow anyone else to come to his cave to visit Chixuan, Elvis and Lea also couldn’t stand the smell of Cole on Gu Mengmeng.
So after her every visit to Chixuan at Cole’s cave, she had to immediately bathe or the two of them would put on black faces.
After a comforting bath, Elvis placed Gu Mengmeng on the bed drowsily. But a familiar feeling dispelled all intentions of sleeping.
Gu Mengmeng sat up after pulling on her snake skin. She sprinted out of the cave and as expected, she saw a massive, familiar-looking snake meandering over.
Hiss hiss hiss~
With a head as huge as a train, the snake was moving with fierce resolution towards Gu Mengmeng’s front door.
Gu Mengmeng immediately slapped Wabei to the ground. She raised her eyebrows. “How many times must I tell you? I hate snakes, I hate shit, and I hate snakes that look like shit. Why can’t you appear before me in human form? Why must you make me hit you every time, and make me feel like I just grabbed a pile of shit? Isn’t it so disgusting?”
Wabei did a flip before morphing into human form. Having shrunk considerably, his jaw was all blue-black. Obviously, Gu Mengmeng had hit him too hard.
“Tsk.” Wabei looked at Gu Mengmeng with disdain. “Do you think I like it? The world outside the Snake King valley is too dry. Human legs are so slow that I would dry up if I didn’t travel in beast form.”
Gu Mengmeng took a step back and sat down. Elvis caught her in a steady embrace. His black tail wrapped around her slender waist and his chest supported her back. Without a word, he used a piece of cloth to wipe Gu Mengmeng’s “tainted” hand.
“Why have you come out even though the outside air is not suitable?” Gu Mengmeng asked.
Wabei looked rather awkward. “The days are getting drier and it will be winter season soon. I must hibernate then. If I don’t come find you for a fight now, I will have to wait till next year.”
Gu Mengmeng smirked. “So you have come all this way just to get beaten up?”
Wabei blushed, as Gu Mengmeng had obviously struck upon the truth. Nonetheless, he stubbornly denied it. “Of course not!”
“Oh.” Gu Mengmeng looked at Wabei with a “please begin your performance” expression. “Then why else have you come looking for me?”
Wabei raised two fingers. “Two things.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and indicated that he should continue. “Yeah, speak.”
Wabei drew back his hand and cleared his throat. “New sprouts have grown out of the fruit you buried in the ground. I think you like to eat that type of fruit… you will be able to taste them again in another 10 to 20 years.”
