  Lea nodded, giving his reply.

  “They won’t send their faithful messenger to Saint Nazaire for no reason at all and Saint Nazaire is the only tribe that is worthy of their conspiring……” Lea did not finish his sentence and just stared at Elvis in silence.

  Elvis remained quiet for a while before he said, “Xiaomeng has never left the tribe before, how would they know of her identity?”


  Lea gave a faint smile. The peaceful look on his face was because he expected this long ago. The reveal would come sooner or later since no tribe had the ability to hide the presence of a messenger of the Beast Deity forever. However, when that day came, he could not be as calm as he expected. Although he had deduced how to react to this matter countless times in his heart before Gu Mengmeng arrived, but now…… what he wanted was not having nine successful attempts out of ten chances anymore, he wanted a guarantee of complete success.

  Lea did not reply Elvis and just revealed a smile that was not necessary to say more. He tapped his arm lightly with his slender and bony hand and raised his head, looking at the skies while squinting his eyes. This caused the slight smile that was originally on his face to become even more subtle until it almost became invisible.

  “Winter is coming soon, tell me……would the faithful messenger be so unlucky to face the first snow on his way here?”


  The corners of Elvis’s lips curved up towards one side and a bloodthirsty but charmingly evil smile appeared on his face. He said with his blue eyes glittering with coldness, “The winter that he belonged to should come before he steps into Saint Nazaire.”


  “No,” Lea stopped Elvis and breathed in deeply before he continued, “Let him enter the tribe and see Mengmeng.”


  Elvis frowned. He did not question Lea directly and instead, waited for his explanation.

  Lea was not affected by Elvis’s emotions as he continued, “Mengmeng brought fire and food to Saint Nazaire, many people in the tribe have already faintly guessed her identity. If we continue concealing her identity in the long run, it’s hard to avoid losing popularity from the people. You, as a tribe leader, and me, as a witch doctor, will actually appear to have no faith in our fellow tribesman. So, we need someone with credibility to reveal Mengmeng’s identity on our behalf. This faithful messenger…… is our best choice.”


  Elvis’s brows were still tightly furrowed. He could not deny that Lea was correct. They did not tell anyone in the tribe about Gu Mengmeng being the messenger of the Beast Deity because they wanted to delay her identity exposure to the greatest extent. But now, at the tribe of the messengers of the Beast Deity in Sauder…… no, rather, in the tribe of the former messengers of the Beast Deity, everyone was aware of it. This implied that there was someone in the tribe who had guessed Gu Mengmeng’s identity and leaked it out.

  Since someone already knew it, it did not make sense to hide any further. They should just go open with Gu Mengmeng’s identity in Saint Nazaire so that the people in the tribe could raise their protection towards Gu Mengmeng, from protecting a precious female to defending the next messenger of the Beast Deity. Those were two totally different concepts.

  But if it happened, Gu Mengmeng’s carefree life would end here. All the unrest and challenges in the Beast World could almost be foreseen clearly and putting Gu Mengmeng in the teeth of the storm was really not something he wished to see but unfortunately, she’s the messenger of the Beast Deity.

  Being helpless against his will, Elvis nodded his head solemnly and then said, “I’ll leave this matter to you. I’ll go back and accompany Xiaomeng.”


  Lea’s expression was still blank, and he nodded slightly.

  Until Elvis’s back view completely disappeared from his sight, Lea then evolved into a half-orc and sat down cross-legged on the ground, hugging his fluffy large tail in his arms. He touched it at times and stared at his empty embrace with hollow eyes while imagining the petite girl saying sweetly, “Daddy Lea, you’re so good-looking.”


  “Mengmeng, I miss you so much,” Although he knew that she could not hear him, he still read out his longing for her to the air.
