Chapter 1036: Habit Was A Scary Thing
Sandy lit up the moment she saw Gu Mengmeng arrive. She beamed and dashed towards her, waving enthusiastically.
Gu Mengmeng was worried she might hurt herself with all that vigorous waving and so hurried over to Sandy and pulled down her little hand. “You are going to be a mother soon, but still behave so clumsily. Shouldn’t you spare a thought for my godson?”
Sandy hugged Gu Mengmeng for a long while before saying in a rather sulky manner. “I still thought you wouldn’t make it back in time. I have been so worried for the past several days.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled. “It is the birth of my godson after all. How could I not come back for something as important as that?”
Bode was standing anxiously by Sandy’s side the entire time. Nevertheless, he was already used to being relegated to the back of Sandy’s mind the moment Gu Mengmeng appeared. He no longer even felt any disappointment at the neglect…
Haha, habit was a scary thing.
After spending a long while placating Sandy and then telling her all sorts of interesting but not-too-stimulating news—Gu Mengmeng finally left at evening time. She instructed Collin and Bode that they must immediately go get her the moment Sandy went into labor. After all, Lea was the best witch doctor around. Even if he didn’t go in, he could guard the door.
After leaving Sandy’s, Gu Mengmeng didn’t return to the stone castle but went to the meeting hall.
As if he had been expecting Gu Mengmeng, Oakley was already awaiting respectfully at the entrance.
Gu Mengmeng’s keen nose told her that the chair held traces of Cole’s smell, and so didn’t sit down. She just used a branch to pick up the beast skin and threw it into the fire to burn.
Elvis and Lea felt relieved at Gu Mengmeng’s action. More than anyone else, they hated the smell of another male on her.
Oakley also understood the reason behind Gu Mengmeng’s action, and so didn’t say anything. He just retrieved a fresh piece of fire fox fur and presented it to Lea.
Lea stroked the fur with a slight curl to his lips. “A premium item.”
Lea spread the fire fox fur across the stone chair.
It was the first time Gu Mengmeng had seen a fire fox fur. The color was not your typical orange-red, but a brilliant red like that of a real flame. With its firm texture and dense hairs, Gu Mengmeng liked this piece of fire fox fur much better than the previous tiger skin.
Gu Mengmeng turned and sat down. She looked at Oakley wordlessly, and it was Oakley who spoke first. “The drought season is approaching and the water sources all over are drying up. The surrounding tribes have all come forward to negotiate, to ask if we could follow Saint Nazaire’s practice, and let the witch doctors of the various tribes get water from Sauder, so that they can survive the drought season. I think that since this was a rule set down by the Great Messenger, there should not be any issues. Hence, I have allowed it, after making some slight amendments to the procedure.”
Gu Mengmeng propped one arm familiarly on the chair handle and rested her head on her hand. She repeated the words. “Slight amendments to the procedure…”
Oakley smiled without answering. Then, as if he had just thought of something, he lifted his head and asked, “Does the Great Messenger still have no intention to unite the Beast World? Or, after experiencing so many changes, have you developed a taste for power and authority?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head as she answered in all honesty, “I still have no desire to be a Qin Shi Huang. I just want to live a happy and blissful life with my beloved family and close friends.”
