On the way back, Gu Mengmeng secretly gave Lea 15 woven little balls made up of rattan. The balls were empty so Gu Mengmeng placed the opened chilli in the balls. Then, Lea handed them to Ian and asked him to send people to hide those balls. The exact hiding locations of the balls were unknown, let alone Gu Mengmeng, even Ian himself did not know.

This was why Gu Mengmeng dared to give 15 slots because she predicted that they would not be able to get back a portion of the balls.

Gu Mengmeng took out a woven little ball from her arms and shook it twice before saying, “There are 15 of this kind of balls scattered across the forest at the back of the mountains. Before sunset, the people who comes back with the balls will be able to join Saint Nazaire.”

After she finished speaking, she threw the rattan ball into the crowd and said, “This is your last chance because after this competition is over, Saint Nazaire will not be recruiting anymore people this year. And tomorrow morning, all winners will be returning to Saint Nazaire with me. Warriors, I’ll be waiting here for a glorious return.”

Once Gu Mengmeng ended her speech, deafening roars of a hundred beasts from under the Platform rang across the skies.

Gu Mengmeng’s little ball created a big ruckus in the crowd but she was not worried that they would undergo a stomping war again. Turning her head and cuddling herself up in Elvis’s arms, she said, “Hubby, let’s go home and make the rhinoceros horn comb. Be careful this time round and don’t break it again.”

Elvis smiled while nodding his head. “Alright, I’ll be very careful, very careful.”

Of course, Gu Mengmeng eventually did not get the rhinoceros horn comb of her dreams because that beast horn broke into pieces in Elvis’s hands again.

Gu Mengmeng’s face fell and she smacked her lips. “Forget it, I don’t want it that badly either…”

Just as she was saying, Elvis suddenly carried Gu Mengmeng up. Although her senses were not as sensitive as males, she could still feel it when the three fellows became defensive instantly. She turned her head and saw Cole standing nearby, leisurely swaying his fox tail that was one size bigger than Lea’s.

The corners of Gu Mengmeng’s mouth twitched, didn’t she said things clearly the last time? Why is he here again? How awkward will it be for everyone?

Cole, however, acted as if nothing happened previously and he stood in front of Gu Mengmeng naturally and calm. Giving a respectful bow, he called, “Mighty messenger.”

Gu Mengmeng smiled awkwardly and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Cole extended his hand with his palm facing upwards. A delicate rhinoceros horn comb was lying on his palm and appeared gentle and warm when reflecting the sunlight.

Gu Mengmeng was extremely shocked and without thinking, she blurted, “Where did you buy this?”

Cole smiled and replied, “Buy? Oh, this is specially made by subordinate. Its appearance… is made according to the comb your mighty messenger always use, just that I made slight changes to some details.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded her head, her arms still wrapped around Elvis’s neck. She did not take Cole’s comb but her big eyes were clearly saying three words ‘I want it’.

Cole stepped forward and stretched his hand out. “If the mighty messenger doesn’t despise subordinate, please accept subordinate’s heartfelt intentions.”

Gu Mengmeng pointed at her nose with her finger and asked, “Is it for me?”

Cole nodded to show his reply.

Gu Mengmeng asked in great defense, “What’s the terms for this exchange?”

Cole was taken aback for a second before he shook his head and said, “Being able to do something for the mighty messenger is already my greatest honor, Cole don’t have the courage to raise any terms with the mighty messenger.”
