Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “I cannot promise that I will be here for every rainy season, but I can guarantee that Saint Nazaire will become more and more powerful. So much so that no one will dare to attack us and steal our food again in future.”


  Mandy pouted in disappointment. “When you are not around…… the atmosphere in the tribe feels strange. As if the backbone of our tribe is missing, giving one a sense of instability.”


  Gu Mengmeng patted Mandy gently on the head. “Don’t worry, things will get better.”


  “Get your hands off.” Ian grunted fiercely.

  Wabei was not around so Ian was the only person left who would bicker with Gu Mengmeng.

  The corners of Gu Mengmeng’s lips curled up wickedly. She removed her hand from Mandy’s head and reached out her palm to her instead. With a challenging gaze directed at Ian, she called out. “Mandy, come, let’s hold hands……”


  Looking completely overwhelmed, Mandy carefully placed her fingertips onto Gu Mengmeng’s palm.

  Gu Mengmeng grabbed Mandy’s little hand, before purposely spreading out her fingers and intertwining them tightly with Mandy’s right before Ian’s eyes. She lifted her chin and raised her brows, with a “bite me if you dare” expression aimed at Ian.

  Ian grunted and turned to look at Elvis. “Do you not care that your female is fooling around with someone else?”


  Elvis’ expression didn’t changed. He just tore off a bite-sized portion from the roasted meat brought over by Lea, and fed it to Gu Mengmeng. “My Xiao Meng likes to bully people. It is your Mandy’s good fortune that Xiao Meng has taken a liking to her. Snatch her away if you have the ability to do so. If not, just learn from Bode.”


  “Learn what from Bode?” Ian asked.

  Elvis lifted his eyes as he spat out the words: “Accept your fate.”


  Fuming, Ian wanted to snatch Mandy back from Gu Mengmeng. But he saw how Mandy was gazing happily at Gu Mengmeng with starry eyes, so he forced himself to lower his hands.

  Ian had backed down too quickly, making Gu Mengmeng feel very unsatisfied. It was no fun at all if your target didn’t respond to your provocation.

  Gu Mengmeng loosened her hold of Mandy’s hand before curling her finger at Mandy, indicating that she should come closer.

  Totally unaware of what was going on, Mandy complied. Gu Mengmeng then leaned in close and whispered in her ear. “After tonight’s bonfire party, come with me to my cave. I have something to tell you.”


  Mandy was full of curiosity. What was it that could not be spoken here? But she didn’t probe and just nodded obediently.

  Males in the Beast World had very good hearing. Especially at such a close distance.

  Consequently, Ian’s face flushed with anger……

  He wrapped his arms around Mandy’s shoulders and pulled her into his embrace. He glared imperiously at Gu Mengmeng, as pallid-looking as his face was. “Must you really bully others? Let me tell you, unless you kill me now, I will never let you do anything indecent to my Mandy.”


  Pfft……

  Gu Mengmeng nearly choked on her own saliva. She stared back at Ian. “What do you think I want to do to Mandy?”


  Ian’s face grew red as he glared at Gu Mengmeng like she was his love rival.

  After fuming for a long while, he said, “Why don’t I fly straight to Sauder now. I will fly all night and bring Sandy back here tomorrow. I don’t care what you want to do, just do it to Sandy instead!”


  Gu Mengmeng stifled a grin. Ian must be thinking that she was a lesbian.

  Feeling mischievous, Gu Mengmeng didn’t explain but purposely pulled herself forward in an ambiguous manner. She sat in a kneeling position with both hands placed between her kneecaps. Gazing wide-eyed at Mandy, she asked, “Mandy, do you hate me? You don’t want to come play with me at my cave? Mmm?”
