Gu Mengmeng didnât have time to bother about him. Elvis was carrying Gu Mengmeng and also didnât have time to bother about him. Lea was free, but he was just a fourth-level beast and not good enough for fighting...
Therefore, Wabei focused his attention on Cole.
âI heard you were the king of stray beasts?â Wabei asked.
Cole chuckled. âWould I dare to call myself a king before the great Wabei.â
Wabei really didnât like such pretentious people. He harrumphed. âI saw that you were being rather arrogant when putting the squeeze on Gu Mengmeng earlier. Why so cowardly now?â
Cole didnât get angry. âI have always been respectful towards people whom I cannot afford to offend.â
It was true that Cole couldnât win Wabei in a fight.
There was once a person who could defeat Wabei, and that was Snake. A pity he was already dead.
Now, only Gu Mengmeng could win Wabei, but unfortunately she was otherwise occupied...
Wabei intoned: It was so boring and meaningless when one had no worthy opponents...
Wabei glanced askance at Cole. âBe a coward if you must, why spout so much nonsense?â
Without even bothering to wait for Coleâs response, Wabei just walked straight to Gu Mengmengâs side. âGu Mengmeng, whatâs our next step? When are we getting in a fight? I have hibernated an entire winter and my bones are all stiff!â
Gu Mengmeng shot Wabei an impatient glare. âDo you think I have violent tendencies? Where to squeeze out so many fights for you. Donât bother me when I am taking care of my son.â
Wabei pointed at Chixuan. âHe is already a grown male, does he still need you to take care of him? I donât care. You better give me a good fight.â
Gu Mengmeng was really annoyed now. She gestured for Wabei to come over. Wabei threw back his shoulders and walked to Gu Mengmengâs side, whereby she gave him one tight smack which sent him flying far away. He crashed through seven to eight trees, knocking all of them over before coming to a stop.
This time, not just Wabeiâeven Gu Mengmeng herself was stunned.
Her strength... when did it become so great?
In the past, Wabei would stop after hitting a tree and at most knock one over. Today, she had even purposely held back... what happened?
Wabei rubbed the blood off the corner of his lips. He returned to Gu Mengmengâs side in a whoosh and stared fixedly at Gu Mengmeng. After hesitating for a long time, he said, âLet me see the mark behind your neck.â
Gu Mengmeng pulled her hair aside and turned to let Wabei take a look.
Wabei was momentarily stunned. He shook his head. âItâs not him... itâs not him... how did this happen? Why is it not him...â
âWhat?â Gu Mengmeng didnât know what was going on. She was rather worried at Wabeiâs horrified expression.
Wabei stared at Gu Mengmeng intensely with eyes bulging. He grabbed her by the shoulders. âGo visit your father. Go now! Ask him what happened to Snake?!â
Gu Mengmeng touched the back of her neck. She couldnât see what had changed with the mark and could only look to Lea for help. He was already standing behind her and scrutinizing the mark on her neck. She used her eyes to seek clarification on what was the matter with Snakeâs mark.
Lea was a fox. He might be able to discern the slightest bit of difference between four-legged animals, but as for snakes...
In Leaâs eyes, every snake looked the same.
Lea shook his head, indicating that he had no idea.
Gu Mengmeng had no choice but to look at Wabei again. âDonât act crazy. Tell me what happened so that I know what to ask. You are already over 800 years old. Donât go making a fuss over any little thing.â
Wabei pointed at the mark at the back of Gu Mengmengâs neck with trembling fingers. He finally spoke after a long while. âThe mark at the back of your neck is not Snake anymore. The mark has changed.â
