Chapter 494 - Snake King Valley

Gu Mengmeng prepared sweet potato porridge for Cole and added some minced meat in it. Together with a small plate of cut fruits, she served them all to Cole.

Cole wanted to eat them himself but he could not even lift up his hand.

Gu Mengmeng scooped a small spoonful of porridge and blew it before sending it into Cole’s mouth, saying, “You were injured because of my son. Give me a chance to take care of you to make it up to you.”

Cole did not reject her and did not say anything too. He just ate every spoonful of food Gu Mengmeng sent into his mouth with a smile on his face.

This was not the first time a female fed him food but this was the first time he felt a warm sensation nourishing his entire body.

After the meal, Gu Mengmeng wanted to carry Chixuan from the bed but Cole held onto her wrist lightly and shook his hand, saying, “You must’ve been tired out these few days, right? Let him sleep by my side for a while, you can take a rest too.”

Gu Mengmeng swept Cole’s hand away and took Chixuan in her own arms, rejecting, “If my son’s not in my arms, I’ll not feel at ease so it’ll be better for me to carry him.”

Cole did not stop her any further as he just smiled. “This is the first time I’ve seen a female being so worried over a male cub. He’s clearly......not the eldest nor the youngest.”

Gu Mengmeng was aware of the snow fox tribe’s tradition. The eldest son would inherit the position of tribe leader while the youngest son would inherit the religious authority as the witch doctor so they would care for those two sons only.

“All of them are my flesh and blood so they’re all my babies. This has nothing to do with the sequence they were born.”

Cole had a conflicted gaze and nobody knew what he was thinking about. Eventually, he nodded his head in silence and before Gu Mengmeng could raise a question, he dived into the main topic. “The orc who kidnapped the little masters is Ellie, the power behind her is the Snake King Valley.”

Gu Mengmeng frowned and questioned, “Ellie? Why?”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Cole answered, “My first guess is that she wanted to use the little masters to lure you into entering the Snake King Valley. But the mighty leader of the Snake King Valley didn’t have much interest in uniting the Beast World so that was why the Snake King Valley isolated itself and was not willing to take a step forward for so many years. So, I suspect that all of these is Ellie’s own decision, she wanted to lure you into entering Snake King Valley....”

Gu Mengmeng thought over it for a while. Previously, Ellie surrendered towards Sauder but was rejected by Cole because of her. Back then, Ellie gave her a piece of scale and there was information written on it in simplified Chinese characters. She saw through it as a counterfeit copy at one glance and at that time, Ellie mentioned before that the real copy was in the Snake King Valley.

So......

Right from the start, her original motive was to lure her into entering the Snake King Valley?

But she was not that curious about the information so she did not fall into the trap so that was why Ellie shifted her aim onto the little wolf cubs?

But what’s her motive?

Everyone had a motive for doing things. What did she plan to do after luring her into entering the Snake King Valley?

And moreover, since she had the ability to kidnap her little wolves, why didn’t she just directly kidnap her? Wasn’t it easier to handle a female than controlling four little wolves?

It doesn’t make sense, Gu Mengmeng really could not figure it out.

With her brows deeply furrowed, Gu Mengmeng looked up at Cole and said, “I have to make a trip down to the Snake King Valley.”

“No way.” Cole supported his body in agitation. He did not care whether blood started flowing out from his wound that was slit open again as he rejected Gu Mengmeng resolutely for the first time, “The Snake King only exists as a dangerous myth in legend! Nobody knows how strong he is. We just know that anyone who dared to step closer to the Snake King Valley didn’t make it back alive. It’s too dangerous, you can’t go!”
