Chapter 1129 - A White Lotus Among Skanks

: A White Lotus Among Skanks

“But why must we tell her that we are going to the Motou mountain range?” Gu Mengmeng frowned. She had no wish to get involved with Cole.

Lea pinched Gu Mengmeng’s little nose. “Do you think Cole has guessed that I know Maya reports to him?”

Gu Mengmeng felt rather lost at Lea’s riddle. She had to repeat his question to herself a couple of times before finally grasping it. Thereafter, she pondered over his question. With Cole’s suspicious and manipulative character, it was impossible that he didn’t know Lea had already guessed Maya’s identity.

She nodded. “I think he knows.”

Lea chuckled and knowingly agreed. “I think so too.”

Gu Mengmeng thought about it for a moment before narrowing her eyes. “Purposely leaking this information to Maya despite knowing that she is under Cole—now Cole would actually not trust this information... right?”

Lea tapped the tip of Gu Mengmeng’s nose with a light laugh. “Smart.”

“In this way, the open manner with which you have been asking about the Motou mountains would appear to be a guise in Cole’s view...” Gu Mengmeng chuckled. It was as if she could already picture the comical scene of how Cole would react when he realized he had been tricked by Lea.

Mmm, a fox hiding nearby and watching the hunter jumping around in rage after realizing the bait in his trap was gone.

Ha, such a wonderful image, how could one not look forward to it?

Lea rubbed his cheek. “And I will carelessly mentioned the Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs... ha, that will become the ‘true target’ in that person’s eyes.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded with a smile. “Alright, I know now. Mandy and Maya will sit by my side at tonight’s bonfire party.”

Lea kissed Gu Mengmeng’s hand. “Mmm, I look forward to your performance.”

That night, 18 bonfires were raised on the open space in Saint Nazaire. Gu Mengmeng’s bonfire was the largest, and the ones on her left and right belonged to Maya and Mandy.

Mandy was the First Beauty personally crowned by Gu Mengmeng. Because of Ian and her own close relationship with Gu Mengmeng, it was natural that Mandy would sit beside her.

But Maya was a half-beast female and she was also not as close to Gu Mengmeng as Sandy was. As a result, the other females in the tribe were very unhappy at the sight of Maya sitting beside Gu Mengmeng.

Appearing oblivious to the animosity of the other females towards Maya, Gu Mengmeng just grinned at her and waved. She called Maya over to her own bonfire.

Maya approached timidly, in the same manner as when she had knelt before Gu Mengmeng to beg to be allowed to follow her.

But after knowing what she did now, Gu Mengmeng would never again mistake Maya’s act as that of a half-beast female’s sense of inferiority and low self—esteem.

Ha, she had thought Nina was the most annoying female in the Beast World, when Ellie came along.

Then she had thought Ellie was the Beast World’s prime example of a green tea bitch, never expecting there was still a Maya hiding in the shadows.

Tsk tsk tsk, so Maya was the true-blue scheming bitch, a white lotus among skanks. Pure on the outside, rotten on the inside.

She was truly blind to have completely missed it.

“Maya.” Gu Mengmeng smiled warmly. “Before I came back, Sandy was still nagging me about how you, me and her are the original three females of Saint Nazaire, and that we should hang out more. When I return from the Motou mountain range, I will bring you over to Sauder. Sandy has just given birth to three leopard cubs, and they are utterly adorable.”

“Motou mountain range?” Maya asked in a seemingly casual manner.
