Chapter 616 - He Said His Name Was Yoo Sijin

After Elvis and Lea left, Wabei whipped out a fruit. It was bright red and looked very tempting.

Tears filled Gu Mengmeng’s eyes as she stared at that fruit for a long while, not reaching out for it.

Wabei just held the fruit like that, looking to the side, “He wanted to pluck this for you previously, but I plucked the wrong one.”

Gu Mengmeng remembered that day, Wabei had roared to Snake, “Can’t you pluck the fruit your female wants to eat yourself.” which caused him to be kicked to the tree branch in anger.

Wabei got impatient seeing how Gu Mengmeng did not reach for it after a long while, so he stuffed it into her hands, then said, “This time it’s right, it’s the one at the highest point, the best and the biggest. Eat it quick.”

Gu Mengmeng held the fruit up, then bit blankly. The fruit juices covered each of her taste buds. Clearly sweet, but Gu Mengmeng felt as if she was eating wax.

Furrowing her brows, she tried her best to smile, “Hmm, he always had good taste. Tastes really good.”

Wabei turned around again, not looking at Gu Mengmeng, only coldly saying, “I will depart back to the Snake King valley later. I will guard, the place he used to live.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded, acknowledging with a “Hmm.”

Wabei took a deep breath, and continued, “Gu Mengmeng, you guard.”

Gu Mengmeng looked up at Wabei, asking, “Guard what?”

Wabei still looked away, refusing to look at her, “Guard yourself, no injury, no sickness, no sorrow, and certainly no death.”

Gu Mengmeng was startled, not understanding Wabei.

Wabei said, “He once walked the entire Beast World, and eventually stayed at the Snake King valley. I think, that is the place he liked the most.”

Gu Mengmeng searched Snake’s memories, but could not recall exactly what he saw in the Snake King valley. She only knew, he was used to that place, so he did not come out again in the thousands of years.

However, how would he be used to a place he did not like?

With that thought, Gu Mengmeng nodded in agreement to Wabei’s words.

Wabei got a response, but his expression remained dim, “However, to protect you, he abandoned the whole Snake King valley without hesitation. So, you... are the one he liked the most.”

The hand Gu Mengmeng used to hold the fruit trembled. She bit into it, pretending she was too busy to reply to him.

It was as if Wabei did not care for her response, only continuing, “I will guard the Snake King valley he abandoned. You will guard for him... the Gu Mengmeng whom he wanted to protect. If you dare to let yourself get hurt, I will not go easy on you.”

With that, Wabei did not bother about Gu Mengmeng’s reaction, before standing up and leaving into the distance, not even turning around.

It was not that he did not want to turn around, he was just afraid that when he looked back, he would realise that the familiar beast pressure did not come from the person he was familiar with, and he would not be able to control his aggression.

After Wabei left, Elvis and Lea sat back by Gu Mengmeng’s side, hugging her from each side, but not knowing what to say to comfort her.

The atmosphere was tense, but a snow fox ran over, bowing respectfully before Gu Mengmeng then said, “Mighty messenger, a male outside the tribe wishes to see you, do you want to let him in?”

Gu Mengmeng looked up, asking, “What male?”

The snow fox hesitated, “He said his name was Yoo Sijin.”
