The white fog gradually thickened again. Sighing, the Beast Deity said, “Never mind, I am your real father.”


  Gu Mengmeng now understood why the Beast Deity treated Elvis that way right from the start. She also understood why he kept stressing that he would always back her up. He was afraid she would be distraught by the scene of her father in that world.

  Aggrieved? Actually she really did feel slightly upset.

  So when that Gu Mengmeng was sobbing in the toilet, this Gu Mengmeng was also crying in Elvis’ arms.

  Perhaps, she still yearned for family relations……

  “Mmm.” Gu Mengmeng was unwilling to let more people worry for over her. Hence, she forced a smile and calmed her own emotions down.

  After taking a few deep breaths, Gu Mengmeng felt more composed. She then smiled at the Beast Deity. “Daddy, now that we have finished watching television. What about my pocket money?”


  The Beast Deity caressed Gu Mengmeng’s hair affectionately. “Tell me, what do you wish to ask?”


  Gu Mengmeng laughed and pointed at the red spider lily over Elvis’ heart. “I seem to have forgotten some things after coming back from the Mecca Desert. I obtained the Heart of the Desert and I am very sure I got it through non-violent means. But I just can’t seem to remember……”


  The Beast Deity smiled. “The person you forgot didn’t belong to the Beast World in the first place. There’s no point in remembering him. As long as you got your desired result, all is good.”


  Gu Mengmeng knew that no one could force the Beast Deity to reveal something he didn’t want to. Hence, she didn’t press him but just asked another question, “Then Daddy, do you know who is that great lord that Gregory always refers to?”


  The Beast Deity nodded. “He’s one of Wang Xiaoxin’s partners. He has been guarding the way back for her since her death a thousand years ago. He was born without a moral compass and holds a special status. Although he is a partner, Wang Xiaoxin did not have his mark on her. As a result, many people thought he had been abandoned by Wang Xiaoxin. But in actual fact…… he is a true-born stray beast and exists beyond the rules of the Beast World. Mmm, how do I put it? Oh, yes, to borrow a phrase I heard from the television two days ago: ‘If he becomes a deity, there will be no demons left in the world; if he becomes a demon, even deities will be helpless before him’.”


  “So powerful? Is he some great sage who is equal to the heavens?” Gu Mengmeng instinctively continued the famous saying.

  The Beast Deity nodded with a chuckle. “I guess so. As he lacks a moral compass, he does not have any sense of good and evil, right and wrong. He does things purely based on his personal likes and dislikes. And in his entire life, he has only liked Wang Xiaoxin.”


  Gu Mengmeng said, “Oh…… then the contract between the vulture tribe and him……”


  The Beast Deity laughed as he glanced at Elvis. “A thousand years ago, Wang Xiaoxin predicted that there will be successor to the position of Messenger of the Beast Deity. She also predicted that you would go to the Mecca Desert to get the Heart of the Desert. But she never expected…… that you wouldn’t use the Heart of the Desert on yourself, but……”


  Gu Mengmeng held her cheek. “So a thousand years ago, Wang Xiaoxin already intended to arrange a marriage for me and introduce a bird beast to me for a husband?”


  The Beast Deity nodded. “During those days, the bird tribes were being bullied by the land beasts and lived under terrible conditions. Hence, Wang Xiaoxin arranged for that person to go help the bird tribes. He protected them from the land beasts and offered them safe passage to the Motou mountain range. In return, the bird tribes swore to forever remain in the Motou mountains to protect the treasure at the peak. In addition, on receipt of his notification, the leader of the vulture tribe must become the partner of whoever inherits the Heart of the Desert.”
