When they reached Sauder, the situation was very different from what Gu Mengmeng imagined.

  There was no stray beasts or any depressing, bleak and violent bloody scenes. On the contrary, everything was in order, full of life and vigor.

  Oakley and Barete stood at the city’s entrance to welcome them together with Sandy and the three little ones. As compared to their warm and natural stance, Gu Mengmeng appeared rather strange and abnormal because of her worrying when rushing to Sauder after feeling worn out by the journey.

  “Mummy~” Jialue was the first one to pounce into Gu Mengmeng’s embrace. The other two brothers were slower than him by one step but still managed to crash into her arms.

  Gu Mengmeng naturally missed her sons a lot after not seeing them for quite some time. She wrapped her three sons in her arms and kissed them all before looking at them in great detail to make sure that they were all healthy and safe. She then put her heart at ease.

  “You suffered quite a lot this journey, right? Let’s enter the city first.” Sandy held Gu Mengmeng’s little hand in hers and led the kids into the city. She said while walking, “The one in your family prepared a surprise for you.”


  Gu Mengmeng was confused, the one in her family?

  Turning back to look at Elvis and Lea, she saw how the two of them shook their heads in silence, with a tint of gloominess in their gaze as they rubbed the little wolves’ heads out of instincts.

  Gu Mengmeng understood instantly that they were referring to Cole.

  Frowning, Gu Mengmeng did not answer her.

  Why was Cole in her family? This was too strange.

  Sandy was not someone to tell this kind of joke, she was so scared of Lea and Elvis so she definitely would not dare to touch this topic in front of them. Moreover, she knew how much Gu Mengmeng hated Cole because of Chixuan so she definitely would not use this a a joke.

  But……

  Her tone and expression……was too natural, as if she was speaking the truth.

  She swallowed the question that was just hanging by her mouth, maybe this was not the right time and something must have happened to Sandy. It would be a futile chance to ask now.

  Sandy sent Gu Mengmeng to the stone castle and then dusted Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders with both her hands, saying, “I’ll send you until here. Remember to tell me what surprise he prepared for you. I’m very curious.”


  Gu Mengmeng gave a small smile and agreed, “Alright.”


  Sandy lowered her head and looked at the three little ones, saying, “Mummy will not have any time to take care of you guys tonight, let’s go back with Mother-in-Law.”


  The three little ones pouted but eventually nodded as they left with Sandy obediently.

  Oakley bowed towards Gu Mengmeng and said, “There’s too many things to do in the city, servant shall take his leave first.”


  Servant……

  The Oakley who would tell her that he likes it with a red face and force himself to extract honey with her even though he was dead scared……couldn’t come back anymore, right?

  After her identity as the messenger of the Beast Deity was exposed, he started to drift apart from her.

  After she inherited Snakel’s abilities, it seemed like she completely lost this friend.

  “You’ve worked hard, go on and do your stuff.” Gu Mengmeng was at wits ends too and could only abide by everyone’s change.

  When she wasn’t who she original was, how could she still request everyone to treat her like how they original did?

  After all……there must be some burden on them.

  After Oakley left, Barete looked at Gu Mengmeng and remained silent for a long time before speaking up, “Please be extremely careful, don’t be rash.”


  Gu Mengmeng did not have the chance to ask him what he meant when he left with Auretin, following behind Oakley to settle the public affairs.
