Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO - Chapter 758

Chapter 758: A Familiar Taste From A Familiar Recipe.

Gu Mengmeng indicated Wabei to let go of her, before assuming the noble and wise air of that movie-loving, lonely old man. Imitating his benevolent smile, she addressed the crowd. “Hello everyone. I am the Messenger of the Beast Deity, Gu Mengmeng. Pleased to meet all of you.”

The subsequent whispered murmurings of the crowd were foreign to Gu Mengmeng.

Thereafter, one of the mermaids morphed into half-beast form and approached her with some tentativeness. Maintaining a safe distance, he asked, “Are you really the Messenger of the Beast Deity?”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “Apart from the Messenger of the Beast Deity, have you met any female from a non-ocean tribe, who can talk and move like me in the deep ocean?”

The mermaid thought about it and felt that there was some logic to Gu Mengmeng’s reasoning.

Nevertheless, he was obviously very scared of Wabei, who was standing behind Gu Mengmeng. He pursed his lips and said carefully. “Then… is he your partner?”

Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “No, he is my friend.”

The mermaid remained very uncomfortable. He tugged at Fei Rui’s arm. “Prince, that looks like a snake beast… we cannot afford to provoke him, better have him leave.”

But Fei Rui shook his head. “No, we need his power to save my sister.”

The mermaid continued. “Do you want to drag down the entire Mermaid tribe for your sister? We have already been driven out of our homeland by the giant fish beasts. If we continue to create trouble, the giant fish beasts might annihilate us all.”

Fei Rui was resolute. “The great Messenger will protect us.”

The mermaid persisted. “But the Messenger will not remain in the ocean forever. What will happen after she leaves? Who will protect us when they return to seek revenge?”

Fei Rui bit his lips as he was unable to respond to that mermaid’s question.

The Giant Fish Tribe were tyrants of the ocean world and the mermaids were not their match at all. If the giant fish beasts attacked them after Gu Mengmeng left, he would not be able to protect his own people or his sister.

That was why he wanted to become Gu Mengmeng’s partner and use that status to intimidate the giant fish beasts. With his status as the partner of the Messenger, as long he remained alive, the giant fish beasts would not dare to bully his people.

Gu Mengmeng shook her head at Fei Rui’s distressed expression. His personality was too weak. If even his own people could pressure him into such a state, how could he face the giant fish beasts?

She didn’t wish to interfere but Fei Rui kept glancing at her. Unable to bear Fei Rui’s pleading eyes, Gu Mengmeng sighed. “Has that Dora resurfaced?”

Fei Rui shook his head. “No, there has been no news at all…”

Gu Mengmeng frowned. This shouldn’t be the case. A wish by the Messenger of the Beast Deity should be very valuable. Why was Dora not tempted? If she was a pure-hearted child with no greed, then she wouldn’t have stolen the Giant Fish Tribe’s treasure in the first place.

Could it be… she was already dead?

Or perhaps…

“Fei Rui, do you know what is the Giant Fish Tribe’s treasure?” Gu Mengmeng was detecting the faint taste of deceit.

Moreover, it was a familiar taste from a familiar recipe.

Fei Rui shook his head. “I don’t know. We have never had much interaction with the Giant Fish Tribe…”

Gu Mengmeng gave a faint smile. “Then how was the Giant Fish Tribe so sure that it was your sister who stole their stuff?”
