Chixuan smiled and nodded. He said, “Yeah, he taught me to use all the beneficial resources to achieve one’s own goal. After all, I know the best about oppressing people using authority.”


  Gu Mengmeng knew who Chixuan was referring to by ‘he’ but she did not make it explicit.

  A person’s death was as though the lights had gone out. She had promised Lea that she would place all grudges behind her, no longer hate him or view him as enemy.

  After bidding farewell with Chixuan, Gu Mengmeng proceeded to return to Sauder.

  The entire Wolf Clan and Fox Clan had gathered there. Without mentioning the Wolf Clan first, it was definitely an important matter to settle since the Fox Clan had lost its Beast King. If Lea had not returned to show his presence, there would definitely be a huge chaos in the tribe.

  Furthermore, Gu Mengmeng had taken over as the next Beast Deity and she had to ‘die’ after settling her affairs. Even if she did not cared about others, if she had not comforted Sandy properly, she would definitely not be able to go in peace.

  So they trudged high and far. Even though Gu Mengmeng was not a Beast King, but her two legs were just like decorations and Elvis and Lea never counted on her to use walk on her own legs.

  In the past, she would always be carried but it was even more unlikely for her to walk on her own since she was pregnant.

  As such, even though it took some time to take care of Gu Mengmeng’s easily fatigued body, because Lea had already become a Beast King, their journeying speed had increased, so it did not take them much longer time to return to Sauder as compared to the past.

  Sandy and her family, along with Hede and Jialue were awaiting outside the city gates. When they saw Gu Mengmeng approach from far, none of them had moved, except for Sandy, who had run and pounced onto her. With one quick move, she hugged Gu Mengmeng in her arms and started to cry before she could speak.

  Gu Mengmeng could not move at all because of Sandy’s bear hug. She could only smile sheepishly and say, “What’s wrong, my little bear bun? Who bullied you? Tell me and I will stand up for you.”


  “You heartless one. Wu wu wu…… Why did you not spend winter at Sauder? Ah? If you had been at Sauder, I could at least be with you……”


  “You know already?” Gu Mengmeng was a little surprised.

  How should she put it…… After all the events that happened, she had been staying at the Snake King valley the whole time and the spread of news in the Beast World had been sealed off the whole winter. How did Snake King valley know about what she had experienced?

  Sandy said through her sobs and tears, “The Fox King had died, how could you hide a matter this great? Don’t forget, my family still has a Snow fox as a beast pet…… Moreover, even if Arnold had not said anything, did you know how chaotic it had been at Sauder those days? Even if I had not wanted to know about it, is it even possible?”


  Gu Mengmeng hugged Sandy back and lightly patted her back, while saying, “Alright, alright, stop crying. Aren’t I alright now?”


  “Alright? Do you think that I am a fool? How could I not know what kind of person Cole is? Is it that easy to kill him? Tell me honestly, how much suffering did you face? And Chixuan…… Chixuan he…… Wu wu wu…… My poor little Chixuan, I still have not given birth to a daughter to become partners with him……”


  “Chixuan is fine, he’s not dead.” Gu Mengmeng knew that Sandy must have thought of how Chixuan and Cole’s lives had been linked together by the bewitching spell and Soul of the Forest, so she said, “Before Cole died, he specially told me the way to break the link between Chixuan and him.”


  “He would be this kind?” Sandy was still doubtful.

  Gu Mengmeng smiled and said, “Even though he’s a horrible person, he was really sincere to Chixuan. One sentence he said really made sense – In his eyes, I am covered with weaknesses and there was no need for him to make use of only Chixuan to threaten me.”
