novelYou Finally Have Some Awareness On How To Behave Like A Female
| ← Ch.0979 | Ch.0981 → |
After Leonard left, Gu Mengmeng kept quiet for a long while as she hugged Elvis' neck. Elvis and Lea thought she was feeling bad after witnessing the earlier scene, as she had a soft heart. But they didn't know how to console her.
They were afraid of saying the wrong thing and making her feel even sadder. Hence, they maintained their silence.
The group continued going forward and Gu Mengmeng finally spoke after some time."Hubby, I will definitely protect myself well in the future. I will never let you and Lea endure the pain that Leonard suffered."
Elvis and Lea were both shocked, but quickly smiled.
In the Beast World, females are used to viewing themselves as the most precious. It was normal for them to protect themselves at all costs and not subject themselves to any harm. Only their own female liked to charge towards all sorts of danger without even taking a breather.
Lea pinched Gu Mengmeng's cheek with a doting but somewhat exasperated expression."You finally have some awareness on how to behave like a female."
Elvis also chuckled as he kissed Gu Mengmeng's serious face."Regardless, it is always a good thing knowing to protect oneself. But please don't forget all about it the moment you turn around."
Gu Mengmeng slapped away Lea's hand before leaning against Elvis' neck. She said in a low voice, "I will not forget, because I cannot bear for you two to suffer. Having seen Leonard in such pain just now, I was thinking if the one writhing on the ground was you or Lea... how my heart would ache..."
From not knowing to avoid danger, and even volunteering to use herself as bait—she now learned the importance of protecting herself for their sakes.
Their hearts were engulfed in warmth.
Kissing Gu Mengmeng's brow, Elvis just said, "Good girl."
After walking for some time, they finally reached the end of the crystal vines. There was just a tree there, with a trunk so thick that one could not measure its width by the number of people needed to surround it hand-in-hand. The base of the trunk was as wide as a soccer field and the nearest branch was even thicker than Wabei's body.
This...
Was probably some great immortal tree?
If it was around during modern times, it would definitely be classified under a protected species.
Gu Mengmeng jumped down from Elvis' arms and walked towards that tree.
Elvis and the rest followed her, but was stopped by an invisible barrier about two hundred meters away. They were unable to step any closer.
Even Wabei was unable to go any nearer try as he might.
Meanwhile, Gu Mengmeng entered without any hindrance.
She turned around and smiled at Elvis and Lea."Don't worry. I can feel that it doesn't harbor any ill intentions and is not dangerous."
Elvis and Lea both frowned as they recalled the aggressive nature of the blood vines.
If it didn't harbor any ill intentions, why didn't it allow them to proceed?
Gu Mengmeng didn't say anything further and just continued to approach the tree.
The leaves shimmered like jade pieces, layer after layer blocking out the clouds and the sun. Gu Mengmeng looked up to see a leave fluttering down and landing right in her palm.
Cool and light, it didn't possess the heaviness of a living plant.
Gu Mengmeng scrutinized that leaf, only to see it gradually dissolve and seemingly melt into her palm to enter her body.
An indescribable sense of purification permeated through her body. It was a feeling where one became totally aware of the sublimation of one's blood, organs and even soul. Gu Mengmeng gazed up at the tree for a long time. She was at a loss for words and even forgot what she was supposed to do.
