Gu Mengmeng laughed. “Of course no one could. What bewitching spell, this is just hypnotism.”


  “Hypnotism?” Lea asked.

  Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Yeah. It is a type of subliminal messaging. It was Wang Xiaoxin’s specialty.”


  Gu Mengmeng leaned forward and rested her head on Elvis’ chest. She tapped Elvis’ arm lightly and rhythmically.

  Firstly, use the Fox Seductive Fragrance to confuse one’s mind, and then expose that person to subliminal messages when his mind was at its most vulnerable. This would achieve the effect of hypnotism.

  But most hypnotisms would come with a key, which when activated, would neutralize the hypnotism.

  The key could be in the form of a certain phrase, a certain object or a certain time.

  To put it simply, anything in this world could be that key.

  So, unless the person who cast the spell used the key to undo the hypnotism, there was no way anyone else could guess what the key was.

  What were the chances of successfully finding Cole and getting him to reveal the key?

  Ha, probably lower than if Gu Mengmeng herself tried to guess what the key was.

  His motive had always been to hold the people around her in the palm of his hand, to be used as bargaining chips. He would never give in so easily.

  So, there was only the second option.

  A more powerful practitioner?

  They would need to dig up Wang Xiaoxin from the grave?

  The more she thought about it, the more frustrated Gu Mengmeng got. She regretted for the umpteenth time for choosing to major in human resource in college. Why didn’t she study psychology!

  Gu Mengmeng stroked her own hair and slapped her thigh. “I want to sleep.”


  Elvis and Lea exchanged glances. “To find the Beast Deity?”


  Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Yeah.”


  Elvis sighed and kissed Gu Mengmeng on the lips. “Don’t sleep too long.”


  Gu Mengmeng just nodded.

  Elvis gently placed Gu Mengmeng on the bed, which was lined with thick furs. He then turned and slept on the outside to prevent her from falling off. He covered her slender body with a fur blanket. “Sleep then, I will look after you.”


  Gu Mengmeng slowly shut her eyes and allowed sleep to take over, transporting her back to that thick white mist.

  A piece of green grass patch about two square meters in size, containing a two-seater wooden bench was there. The Beast Deity sat leisurely on the bench, smiling at Gu Mengmeng.

  Reaching out one hand, he said, “Daughter, you are back.”


  Gu Mengmeng hurried over and looked accusingly at the Beast World. “I am being vexed to the brim of my head in the Beast World, while you are passing time so leisurely here.”


  The Beast Deity smacked his lips. “Didn’t you come back to ask for some pocket money? This is not very filial of you…… are you sure you want to act like this?”


  Feeling choked, Gu Mengmeng clenched her fists. “You win.”


  With that, she took a deep breath and put on a sweet, daughterly smile. “Daddy, I have come to watch television with you.”


  The Beast Deity raised his brows with a smile. “You are just like the devious supporting actress in a television drama, desperately trying to snatch a piece of inheritance.”


  Gu Mengmeng’s forehead throbbed with anger. She plastered on a fake smile. “You only have one offspring, me. There is no one to fight with me for your inheritance.”


  The Beast Deity nodded as if just realizing that. “Yeah, you are right.”


  Gu Mengmeng reached out one palm. “I have decided to be a good, hardworking daughter. I don’t want anything else, just give me a book.”


  The Beast Deity glanced at Gu Mengmeng. “What? You also want a copy of the “300 Poems of the Tang Dynasty”?
