Chapter 849

: Since I Can’t Be A White Lotus, I’ll Be A Lotus Root
The Beast Deity came close and whispered the method into Gu Mengmeng’s ear.
Gu Mengmeng nodded. Without saying a word, she turned and left.
The Beast Deity watched her back profile with a smile. Only after she disappeared into the thick mist did he say in a mild manner,
Remember to come back again to accompany your father to watch television…

Gu Mengmeng opened her eyes and had a moment of panic before composing herself. She then realized that she was already back home at Saint Nazaire.
Elvis and Lea were not around, and the one guarding her was Wabei instead.
This was very strange. With the temperament of those two fellows, would they actually allow a single male to be alone with her?
Frowning, Gu Mengmeng asked,
What happened?

Wabei opened his eyes and subconsciously avoided Gu Mengmeng’s gaze.
Nothing.

Gu Mengmeng chuckled.
My mental age is older than you by over 200 years. You are still too inexperienced to tell a lie in front of me.

Wabei looked up.
Something did happen. But I don’t feel like telling you. Ask your own males when they return.

Gu Mengmeng was suddenly choked speechless. Yes, Wabei took good care of her, but she knew he was just doing so entirely for Snakel’s sake. Did any friendship exist between them? Wabei was not Elvis or Lea. He was not even a member of the Saint Nazaire tribe. He really had no obligation to her.
Ha, perhaps she had been the Beast Deity for too long. Had she become too used to that sense of entitlement where she felt everyone should always listen to her?
Shocked at the discovery that she had picked up a most nasty habit after arriving at the Beast World, Gu Mengmeng lowered her eyes as she fell into deep thought.
Seeing her in this manner, Wabei couldn’t maintain his stubbornness.
Hey, are you that petty? Behaving like that just because I talked back at you?

Gu Mengmeng shook her head with a faint smile.
No, I just realized that I can’t become a white lotus, and feel a bit despondent.

Wabei wrinkled his brows in confusion.
Gu Mengmeng explained.
A white lotus is someone who is completely pure and uncorrupted. But I… ha, have taken a tumble on the ground and is now covered in dirt. Never mind, since I can’t be a white lotus, I’ll be a lotus root.


What nonsense are you spouting.
Wabei snorted before shaking his head in disdain. He didn’t continue that conversation but just put on a nonchalant face.
So… did you ask about sending me over to Snakel?

Gu Mengmeng thought about it. She had asked but the Beast Deity refused to answer.
The Beast Deity would have directly told her if it was not possible.
So it should be possible, but might need certain elements to succeed—and the right time to do it had yet to come, so she shouldn’t disclose it, right?
Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath and nodded seriously at Wabei.
I asked, but…


When can I be sent over to see him?
Wabei’s eyes brightened. He looked as if someone had given him an energy shot as his lethargic manner was instantly dispelled. This made his earlier nonchalant act look somewhat comical, but Gu Mengmeng had no intention of making a sarcastic remark at that.
After all, the yearning for someone whom you had spent over 800 year with—how deep and pressing it must be?
She shook her head.
Heaven’s secrets cannot be revealed, but… at least there is a chance.


Speak in simple terms!
Wabei hollered.
Gu Mengmeng was startled by his shout. Since being transported here, no one had shouted at her like that. Even Snakel had not done that.
She suddenly smiled. Who said there was no friendship between her and Wabei? Wabei was that one friend by her side who had no obligation towards her.
