Chapter 841: Our Child Is Truly Capable

Gu Mengmeng smiled sweetly. “Daddy, I need to ask you something on behalf of a friend.”

The Beast Deity didn’t continue Gu Mengmeng’s line of conversation but just pulled her wrist towards the white mist. “Let me show you something first.”

“Mmm?” Gu Mengmeng knew the Beast Deity just didn’t want to respond to Wabei’s query. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have interrupted so obviously. Hence, Gu Mengmeng didn’t pursue it, but just let the Beast Deity change the topic.

“Look…” The Beast Deity behaved like a little kid presenting a treasure. He gently parted the white mist, revealing a piece of grassland of about two square meters. It was a very small piece of land but appeared exceptionally precious within the fog.

A two-seated bench was placed upon the green grass. Made of wood, it looked just like one of those public park benches, but more exquisitely crafted. It looked very natural and its back was made of entwined rattan canes. It was just a tiny area but Gu Mengmeng could smell the refreshing scent of greenery, which made one’s heart feel gladdened.

Taking in Gu Mengmeng’s reaction, the Beast World smiled satisfactorily. “The contributions you have brought to the Beast World will be reflected here. And all these will become your power.”

Gu Mengmeng looked at the Beast Deity with a befuddled expression. She had no idea what he was saying.

The Beast Deity cleared his throat. “I told you before that every Messenger of the Beast Deity transported to the Beast World has their own special mission. Wang Xiaoxin’s main mission was faith, while yours is hope.”

“I had thought that hope was like a seed, which would slowly grow into a huge tree over time. But I never expected… it would be like that. Haha, my good daughter, you really surprised me. Yes, as lush as a tree can be, how can it compare to a great grassland? If we want to talk about hope, it should be an endless grassland full of life.”

Gu Mengmeng held her cheek as she pointed at the tiny patch of grass. “So how did this thing appear? What did I do to get this?”

“You brought hope to someone else, and so gathered some power for yourself.” The Beast Deity smiled kindly. The expression on his face said “Our child is truly capable”. That bizarre sense of accomplishment and pride had Gu Mengmeng feeling very uncomfortable.

When a person who was not that much older than you looked at you like a father gazing upon his daughter, it felt like a violation of sorts.

“Hope?” Gu Mengmeng lowered her head. She tried her best to avoid looking at the Beast Deity’s face as she pondered.

This grass patch wasn’t here the previous time she came.

And only two things happened since then: The merger of the Mermaid Tribe and the Giant Fish Tribe to create the new Bridges Tribe; as well as the reconciliation of Natalie and Peter.

The second incident was just a personal matter. Gu Mengmeng had already performed so many similar matchmaking efforts. Those worth mentioning included Sandy and Collin, as well as Carter and Melinda. If bringing couples together counted as bringing hope and would help accumulate power, then why the need for her to be the Messenger of the Beast Deity? She might as well have become a matchmaker and opened a matchmaking agency.

Hence, did the so-called hope referred to the merger between the two tribes?

She had just wanted to bring Carter and Melinda together, and at the same time help those 20-plus stragglers find a sense of belonging. She never thought she would get such an unexpected reward.
