  Smiling, Gu Mengmeng helped Collin up and hugged Sandy while patting her back. She then pushed Sandy back into Collin’s arms, “Every female keeps the two strongest males beside them for protection, while the remaining tribesmen join the frontal charge. Wasn’t that the battle plan that Lea had arranged? The strongest males in your family are Collin and Bode, there’s nothing wrong with them staying to protect you. Why should I kill Collin?”


  Collin stammered, “Because I’m the messenger’s guard, the shield of the messenger. When the messenger faces danger, I should be the first to block in front of them. Yet I……”


  Smiling, Gu Mengmeng patted Collin’s shoulders, “It’s true that I am the messenger of the Beast Deity, but that does not mean that everyone has to sacrifice their lives for me. Relationship wise, you protected a friend who is important to me; and logic wise, you only obeyed the command from one of higher authorities. In that case, you did not do anything wrong.”


  “But……” Collin could not win Gu Mengmeng, but he knew in his heart that he was wrong in this matter.

  Elvis gently wrapped his arm around Gu Mengmeng’s waist, pulling her back in his embrace while side-eyeing Collin, “If Xiao Meng said she won’t punish you, then you won’t be punished. However, this has proven that you are not suitable to be the messenger’s guard, so from now on we will rid you of all authority and responsibility of the guard. Any objections?”


  Collin lowered his head, replying with a deep voice, “I have no objections.”


  Elvis nodded, then carried Gu Mengmeng up, “Auretin will replace your position. If there’s nothing else, you guys may return.”


  “Gu Mengmeng……” Sandy’s wet eyes continued staring at her direction for she felt very remorseful that she only cared about the safety of her males even when Gu Mengmeng was facing danger and trouble. She clearly knew what Gu Mengmeng had gone through, yet she did not even mention a word of concern in front of her, only caring to beg for forgiveness for Collin. She…… sure enough was not a good friend.

  Gu Mengmeng returned a smile, signalling to Sandy that it was alright. However, Sandy still cried till her eyes were red, leaning in Collin’s arms and unable to control her tears from falling.

  Elvis and Lea carried Gu Mengmeng to the “Meeting Room”. Lea repeated whatever Cole said to him before he left to Gu Mengmeng without missing a single word.

  Elvis remained silent for a moment, “Lea, you stay here and take care of Xiao Meng. I’ll go to the Snake King valley to save the little wolves.”


  Lea shook his head, “The monster in the Snake King valley is not at Cole’s level. Don’t mention that you just entered fifth-level, even the type who peaked at fifth-level like Cole can’t do anything in front of him. If you go alone, you have no chance of winning. Let Auretin and Barete stay here to take care of Gu Mengmeng while I go to the Snake King valley with you, perhaps…… we may have a chance of winning.”


  Gu Mengmeng knocked on the table, “If I’m not present, you guys may not even have the chance to see Cole before you get killed. I don’t want you guys to get killed for nothing.”


  Elvis frowned, looking at Gu Mengmeng, “Xiao Meng, you promised you won’t make me worry again.”


  Gu Mengmeng pulled Elvis’ arm, “Hmm, so this time I’ll drag you on the adventure with me.”


  Lea, “Mengmeng, no fooling around.”


  Gu Mengmeng sat in Elvis’ embrace, turning around to look at Lea, “If the peerless, mighty man in the Snake King valley is truly as unpredictable as you mentioned, then no matter where I hide, it would only be a matter of time before he finds me. Rather than sitting around doing nothing, not knowing when danger would arrive, it would be better to actively attack and beat him to the draw.”
