Going by that reasoning, Elvis and Lea both became even more gloomy.

  Yes, they were clearly both present then. Why had they left a task like killing to Gu Mengmeng?

  They felt really distressed.

  Wabei continued. “So for partners, you must have both quality and quantity. Although the little wolf pup is a Beast King now, he doesn’t possess three heads and six limbs. There will be times when he cannot take care of you. To ensure that you will be well taken care of, you should find a few more partners. Then you won’t have to do it yourself the next time you need to kill someone.”


  Gu Mengmeng was nearly choking from anger at Wabei. She wrinkled her nose. “I am not some crazed serial killer. Who else would I have to kill.”


  Wabei chuckled. “If only you were a crazed serial killer. Then you wouldn’t put on that strained, doomsday face after killing someone. Makes one feel so frustrated to see that face.”


  Gu Mengmeng was momentarily taken aback. She finally realized that Wabei said those words as he was concerned for her. She had been so troubled by the fact that she had killed someone and didn’t even remember it.

  She smiled in quiet understanding and shoved Wabei’s shoulder. “Actually, it’s not necessary to find more partners to resolve this situation. I also have you, don’t I?”


  Wabei was placated by Gu Mengmeng’s words. He felt a pleasant warmth suffuse his body. He said in a smug and grudging tone. “Alright, seeing as to how pitiful you are, that your two partners are useless bums. Just let me know the next time you need to kill someone. No matter how difficult the task, I will kill him for you.”


  Gu Mengmeng smiled and elbowed Wabei. “Aiya, my little shit is so reliable.”


  Yes, Wabei had now completely accepted being called little shit. He even felt an urge to smile whenever he heard her call him that.

  Gu Mengmeng’s and Wabei’s jostling warmed the mood around the table. Nevertheless, Lea’s face remained grim. He cast a sweeping glance across everyone at the table. “No one is allowed to spread the information that Mengmeng’s blood can dissolve a stray beast’s fear of her.”


  With that, Lea looked at Ian. “You cannot even tell your own partner.”


  Lea then turned to Auretin. “Whoever dares to leak this information will end up on our permanent ban guest list.”


  Permanent ban. This equated to a permanent farewell to Lea’s cooking.

  Auretin shuddered and solemnly swore. “Don’t worry. I won’t speak of it even in my dreams.”


  Ian returned Lea’s look with a sickly gaze of his own. “It doesn’t matter, even if I tell my partner. Mandy is Gu Mengmeng’s fangirl. In her eyes, Gu Mengmeng is a pure and kindhearted fairy whom the world is not worthy of. If a strand of hair falls from Gu Mengmeng’s head, it must be because she had been too stressed over the suffering of all living creatures. Even her farts serve to purify the air…… if I critique Gu Mengmeng in front of Mandy even in the slightest, I would instantly become the ferocious, evil demon obstructing Gu Mengmeng’s pathway to nirvana.”


  Lea laughed. “Mmm, this female Mandy has good taste.”


  Ian had no retort to that. He sighed and looked at Gu Mengmeng. “I heard that there was a handicapped individual among the stray beasts who delivered those grapes earlier. If I were to guess, it must have been Cole. A pity he didn’t dare to enter Sauder. It seems like he was scared off by you. Gu Mengmeng, you have become more powerful now. Even a pervert was scared off by you. Mmm, next time you meet Mandy, remember to tell her that I praised you today.”
