Gu Mengmeng responded,
Because he wanted to protect me from behind to prevent any sneak attacks. He said… he wanted to be the pair of open eyes on my back.

 

Gu Mengmeng side-eyed Elvis, asking,
Funny, isn’t it? He’s dead, yet talking about protection… It’s just a mark, what can it protect…

 

Elvis remained silent for a moment, then stretched out his right hand, transforming it into a wolf claw before suddenly attacking the back of Gu Mengmeng’s head.
 


Ah…!
With a loud shrill of pain, Elvis fell onto the ground, with black venom all over his claw. His skin instantly started to rot.
 

Gu Mengmeng turned around, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. She flipped and jumped down, grabbing Elvis’ arm and putting it beside her mouth, gently licking the venom on it.


 

Gu Mengmeng’s tiny tongue easily cleaned up the venom, simultaneously forming a thin piece of transparent film on Elvis’ hand.
 

Gu Mengmeng watched Elvis silently, without a word.
 

However, Elvis smiled,
Look, although it is just a mark… but he can still protect you from behind.

 

Gu Mengmeng sighed,
Don’t do such silly things to punish yourself, you should not feel apologetic to me, for you have done enough.

 

Elvis’ eyes sagged, replying in low spirits,
But I did not manage to protect you.

 

Gu Mengmeng responded,
It was not your fault. After all… it was the result of my stubbornness.

 

Elvis sat up straight, hugging Gu Mengmeng back into his arms again,
I swear, I will become stronger, even stronger, and will never let you get hurt again.

 

Gu Mengmeng smiled bitterly,
I have now… inherited Snake’s everything… including his fighting skills and memories. Looking at the Beast World as a whole, I fear that no one else can hurt me now.

 

Startled, Elvis replied,
You mean…

 

Gu Mengmeng nodded, touching the mark at the back of her neck once again,
Snake and I have become a single entity, he gave me his everything, very… thoroughly.



 

Elvis smiled bitterly,
This… should be a good thing. You won’t have to worry about anyone plotting against you in future. You… won’t need me anymore either.

 

Gu Mengmeng gently hugged Elvis back, pressing her lips,
I aged a thousand years overnight, and am still not used to many things. But one thing is for sure, you are my family, and I will need you at any time.

 

Elvis did not say a word, only gently returning Gu Mengmeng’s hug.
 

Both of them did not say anything more.
 

A deafening sound came travelling from afar, and was coming closer.
 

Gu Mengmeng stood up, turning around to welcome it.
 

A huge python appeared before Gu Mengmeng, his head that was as big as the head of a train poked at the tip of Gu Mengmeng’s nose. She would have screamed before, but now… she felt nothing, looking up at it, speaking calmly,
Haven’t I told you, I hate snakes, hate shit, hate snakes that look like shit.

 

With that, Gu Mengmeng slapped the snake on its head, before the train head-like head smacked the ground, caving about half a metre into the ground.
 

Wabei transformed into human form, standing up and rubbed his chin, pointing at Gu Mengmeng’s nose,
Snake, I want to challenge you!

 

Gu Mengmeng squinted her eyes, laughing coldly,
You can’t win me.



 

Wabei was angered, as if he was trying his hardest to hold back some emotions, roaring,
I don’t care, I just want to challenge you. I want to defeat you, then replace you as the owner of the Snake King valley.

 

Gu Mengmeng acknowledged, then said
Fine, you are now the owner of the Snake King valley.
