Gu Mengmeng nodded with a laugh but Lea just snorted. âHe has really found a good excuse to join Saint Nazaire. I canât do anything to him now.â
Gu Mengmeng shook Leaâs arm as she grinned. âAlright now, donât pick a quarrel with a kid. Mmm?â
Lea pinched Gu Mengmengâs face as he gave in.
âWhen do you intend to begin your trip back?â Gu Mengmeng asked.
Fei Rui smiled. âIf the Great Messenger agrees, I will head off now.â
âSo soon?â Gu Mengmeng was rather surprised. She thought he would at least wait till tomorrow as it was nearly nighttime now.
Fei Rui nodded. âI am going back via the waterways anyway, so it doesnât matter whether the sun is up. Moreover, Melinda is pregnant and I wish to hurry back as soon as possible to accompany her. After all, this is her first pregnancy.â
âMelinda is pregnant?!â Gu Mengmeng had a major reaction. She jumped straight up, eyes wide open with shock. Her lips curled up involuntarily.
Lea pinched Gu Mengmengâs little nose. âSandy will definitely be jealous if she sees your current expression.
Wabei laughed. âIf I didnât know better, I would have thought the kid is yours.â
âGet lost!â Gu Mengmeng shouted at Wabei before turning to Fei Rui again. âAlright, you better hurry back then. Help me ask after Melinda and give her my blessings.â
âYes, I will.â Fei Rui nodded before tilting his head and smiling. âSo Great Messenger, please continue your meal. I will take my leave now.â
Gu Mengmeng insisted on sending Fei Rui off. After all, they would not see each other again for one whole winter season.
Elvis and Wabei accompanied Gu Mengmeng to the well to see Fei Rui off. Lea remained behind to watch over the pot.
After seeing Fei Rui jump into the well, Gu Mengmeng leaned her head against Elvisâ shoulder. âActually, he didnât hope for Doraâs death. I saw it just now. He was quite sad when he heard about her demise.â
Elvis hugged Gu Mengmeng tightly around the waist. âFemales are an especially precious resource to every tribe. As weak as Fei Rui is, he is still the leader of his tribe. So Dora... was someone he used to value.â
Gu Mengmeng frowned after listening to Elvisâ words. She straightened herself and looked at him. âSo before I came over, you also valued Sandy and Maya?â
Elvis was momentarily taken aback, before he laughed out loud. âYou must be joking. Before you came to Saint Nazaire, this tribe was just a meaningless way for me to pass time.â
In other words, he didnât even care much about the tribe, so how important could the females in the tribe be to him?â
In the past, if not for Leaâs constant urging that for the sake of the tribe, he could not kill femalesâwould that Nina have been able to survive for so long right under Gu Mengmengâs nose? Elvis would have killed Nina a thousand times over.
He already treated complete females as such, what more for half-beast females?
Gu Mengmeng thought about it and agreed. Hence, she laughed as she leaned back onto Elvisâ shoulder. âHubby, am I very petty? I feel so uncomfortable the moment I thought that you valued someone else before...â
âI like your pettiness. You must maintain it, understand? Mmm?â Elvis kissed Gu Mengmengâs cheek.
Gu Mengmeng twisted her lips and gave a low laugh. She nodded and answered with a âmmmâ sound.
Wabei rolled his eyes. âDoing nothing all day and night. Only knowing how to flirt with each other. Tsk, the whole world stinks of love.â
