Chapter 931: You Butchered An Entire Tribe?
Gu Mengmeng was stunned. “You butchered an entire tribe?”
Wabei shook his head and stared at Gu Mengmeng as if she was retarded. “If I wanted to kill off the entire tribe, would I still bother to send those bodies back?”
Gu Mengmeng agreed now that she thought about it. Sending back the bodies was a warning, showing them what would happen to those who tried to attack the Snake King valley. If he really wanted to kill them all, why send those bodies back? It was a completely unnecessary action.
“Anyway, I immediately went to find you the moment winter ended. I went to Saint Nazaire only to be told that you were here and so I hurried over. Where would I have found the time to butcher an entire tribe.” Wabei proclaimed self-righteously with an air of disdain.
Gu Mengmeng nodded in agreement. “Then how did that tribe vanish?”
Wabei gave a couple of dry laughs. “Perhaps they were afraid of revenge by the Snake King valley and scattered to the other tribes. But strangely, none of them came over to Saint Nazaire or Sauder. Don’t they know that I cannot defeat you and that being under your protection would have been the safest?”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled as she shook her head. “I am the Saintess of the Snake King valley. Seeking my protection… wouldn’t that be walking right into the lion’s den?”
Wabei laughed out loud. “That’s true. You are the true behind-the-scenes Great Demon King here.”
Gu Mengmeng rolled her eyes at Wabei, to show her appreciation at being called a Great Demon King.
Not long after they arrived at the stone castle, Elvis returned with his three sons.
Oakley had also tagged along.
Oakley immediately bowed towards Great Messenger after entering the house. He then looked at Wabei. “Great Messenger, although Wabei is your friend, it might be better for a stray beast in Sauder to keep a low profile?”
Gu Mengmeng was at a loss for words. She glanced at Cole. “Why does he not bother you then?”
Oakley’s expression didn’t shift. “Be it Cole or Wabei, I am powerless to stop them. But this is still the Messengers tribe. For them to come and go like this, should they at least keep a low profile?”
Gu Mengmeng then understood that although Cole was also a stray beast, he didn’t go out much in public within Sauder. And he had spent yesterday following Gu Mengmeng around under the guise of Lea.
But Wabei had just swaggered across town in his true form.
Come to think of it, the appearance of a fifth-level snake beast must have caused much uproar within Sauder.
Gu Mengmeng shrugged. “Wabei is my friend. If it is not convenient for him to remain here, then I shall leave with him.”
“Leave?” Oakley frowned. “The Great Messenger cannot leave for the time being.”
“Oh?” Gu Mengmeng wrinkled her brows. “When did it become your right to decide my comings and goings?”
Oakley replied mildly, “I dare not restrict the Great Messenger’s freedom, but… the people of the Beast World have been very anxious lately, and knowing that the Messenger has taken up temporary residence in Sauder, a few of the other tribe leaders have already sent their men over to seek help. To avoid turmoil in the Beast World, it will be best if the Great Messenger could meet them. After all… the Snake King valley was the cause of all that trouble.”
Gu Mengmeng raised one brow as she instantly understood.
“Are they the leaders of those tribes who took in those scattered females and strong males from another tribe? They want to upgrade the powers of their own tribe, but are afraid that I will come looking for them thereafter… ha. Alright, I will meet them. Let me see how sincere they are.”
