“Knock it off.” Elvis frowned. He could let her joke around other things but such words like not needing the Beast Deity’s care should not be spouted out as she pleased.
“I really do not need it!” Gu Mengmeng thought in her head. Being a pure lady who had not even officially dated before, was skipping the step of praying for kids too fast an advance? Damn it, I still wanted to enjoy two more years of single-hood!
Elvis remained silent, looking at Gu Mengmeng in a grave manner. Although he was not angry, his expression was solemn and projected a sense of power.
Although Gu Mengmeng could not feel the pressure from beasts, she at least knew how to observe the speech and expressions of others. Thinking how the Beast Deity was the absolute authority in this world, Gu Mengmeng could not help but shake her head. 6
The Qing dynasty had already fallen! Why were all of you still so superstitious! 4
As a typical protector of Atheism, Gu Mengmeng really wanted to disseminate the world outlook of Science to Elvis and the rest. But… she was too scared! 2
Thinking to herself, Gu Mengmeng truly thought that if she continued to despise the Beast Deity, her godmother Elvis would choose righteousness over family loyalty and burn her alive… oh, and BBQ at the same time. 2
Thus, Gu Mengmeng cleared her throat, whispering to Elvis’s ear while acting mysterious, “The Beast Deity had already bestowed me with a lot of welfare. If I hoped for more, that will become being greedy without knowing my boundaries and I will suffer from the wrath of the Beast Deity!”
Elvis paused, looking solemn. He was clearly believing Gu Mengmeng’s words.
After all, Gu Mengmeng was a messenger of the Beast Deity!
Thus, Elvis lifted his head high and howled towards the heavens.
Gu Mengmeng who was at the VVIP seat saw the whole process in close view. The shock could not be described merely in words. She just felt the cells in her entire body contracting, her limbs turning cold and her little heart palpitating wildly.
After Elvis’s howl, sure enough, Lea who was standing on the wooden pagoda stopped his Shamanic-ritual-like prayer. Jumping lightly a few times, he easily jumped off the wooden pagoda which stood as high as two stories, standing firmly in front of Gu Mengmeng and Elvis. His long and narrow eyes stared at Gu Mengmeng in slight uncertainty, as if he was waiting for her explanation.
After all, Gu Mengmeng was the first person who interrupted the prayer of the witch doctor.
“That…” Gu Mengmeng did not know why her heart started thumping wildly out of control once she met eyes with Lea. Despite her telling herself countless times that Lea was her godfather, and that she was being carried by her godmother, she still could not control her frantic heartbeat.
Feeling her throat turning drier, Gu Mengmeng swallowed her saliva with difficulty. Her fair-skinned fingers were twisted together while her head was looking down. She explained softly, just like a child who made a mistake, “That place is too high up and it’s very dangerous. If you don’t have anything important, it’s better to not go there…”
Lea breathed out a light smile, his long and slender fingers hooking onto Gu Mengmeng’s chin gently, forcing her to look directly at him. The corners of his lips curved upwards, forming a very nice shape. It was due to the presence of the large red dress that deliberately made the original holy, cold and unreachable flower, Lea, appear perfectly charming at the moment. 1
“You’re worried for me? Hmm?”
The Lea now resembled a demon and a sin. He was obviously captivating one’s soul but was so beautiful to the extent where one would be willing to dive in deeper.
Perfect holiness and perfect seduction was a perfect combination on Lea. His every move caused people to be so dazzled by him until they were unable to restrain themselves. 1
Gu Mengmeng nodded her head out of instinct, then suddenly regained her composure, “It’s Elvis who’s worried for you. It’s him… it’s him…”
