Gu Mengmeng did not reject him as she recalled the entire ‘Sorrow of Separation’ song in detail, trying her best to sing it for him.

  As Gu Mengmeng sang every word and syllabus, she could feel the blood in Bi An’s chest surging.

  He was different from Snakel. Snakel’s thousand years was muddled along without any aim while his thousand years was a holocaust called awaiting.

  Time was like knife, cutting his heart up cruelly.

  Today, he was finally free, why was he not excited?

  That night, Gu Mengmeng kept singing ‘Sorrow of Separation’ one time after another, she still did not give up even though her voice turned hoarse.

  Since Gu Mengmeng had the honor to mount this thousand-year difference grand banquet in full regalia, she should echo the previous Messenger of the Beast Deity. Since there was a sparkling beginning, she should end this off perfectly.

  When Gu Mengmeng and the rest ate scorpions for the fifth day in Fedaton City, Bi An finally brought them to the entrance of Fedaton City.

  Bi An stood facing Gu Mengmeng and smiled at her, saying, “Little girl, I’ve to thank you.”


  Gu Mengmeng looked at Bi An in confusion.

  Bi An pulled Gu Mengmeng’s hand over and placed it over his left chest, saying, “The Heart of the Desert you want is here. Take it away.”


  Gu Mengmeng was so terrified she retracted her hand but Bi An held it tightly, not allowing her to dodge him.

  “Scorpions don’t have hearts, the red thing that’s beating inside this body is the red spider lily she wanted me to hand to you and it’s also called the Heart of the Desert.”


  “But……”


  “You don’t dare to kill?” Bi An laughed, as if he just saw a joke. He said indifferently, “Don’t you want to convict those rubbish outside? As long as you kill me, all stray beasts would tremble with fear around you and not a single one of them will dare to offend and obstruct you.”


  Gu Mengmeng wanted to retract her hand but she could not exert much strength. Bi An resembled the snake that was convincing Eve to eat the apple as he kept lobbying the idea of digging his heart out to Gu Mengmeng.

  “Aren’t you curious? Why does Snakel and the little snake not have any recollection of her?”


  Gu Mengmeng nodded, expressing her doubts. She just could not find a suitable time to ask him.

  Bi An chuckled and answered her, “Because she originally doesn’t belong to this world so when she leaves, only a legend is left behind. All memories that concerned seeing her will be removed and I was like that too. I was originally just an ordinary wild scorpion in the desert, she was the one who gave me a heart and taught me to experience all solitary in this world. After you dig this heart away, I’ll disappear from this world like her, all memories regarding me will be removed too……so you don’t have to feel burdened. After you dig my heart away, you’ll only remember having the Heart of the Desert but you won’t remember that you have my blood tainted on your hands.”


  “I……” Gu Mengmeng had a lot of scenes regarding massacres in her memories but she really could not bring herself to kill someone with her own hands. Even if she was facing Cole, despite all the hatred she had towards him, she could only dig his right chest. She did not have the courage to dig out someone’s heart with her bare hands.

  “Little girl.” Bi An’s gaze was basically pleading her as he begged, “I was lonely for a thousand years, I waited for a thousand years so that I can give you this heart and head off to see her. I beg you……help me……this is my only solution, let me escape from this endless torture. I spent this thousand years alone and I’m too lonely, it’s too tiring……I want to see her, I really want really want……I beg you……dig out my heart and fulfill my wish, alright?”
