Chapter 997: I Am In A Bad Mood, Come Placate Me Now

Returning to their own cave, Gu Mengmeng saw Wabei lazing on a tree branch nearby.

He was putting himself on prominent display, sprawling there in a lackadaisical manner. He might as well be holding up a placard saying “I am in a bad mood, come placate me now”.

Gu Mengmeng let Elvis and Lea bring Chixuan into the house to meet the three little ones. She then clasped her hands behind her and stepped towards Wabei. She looked up at the huge snake dangling on the tree.

Perhaps it was because of Snake’s memories, but she didn’t seem afraid of snakes now.

Smiling, Gu Mengmeng said, “Little shit, let’s call it even, alright? I won’t be angry at you and you stop being mad at me, alright?”

Wabei stuck out his tongue and hissed in his snake language. “Even? On what grounds? Have I done anything to make you angry?”

Gu Mengmeng pointed at him. “You know I hate snakes, I hate shit, and I hate snakes that look like shit. But you are presenting yourself in this state now—aren’t you purposely trying to make me sick? I have suppressed my disgust to come over and offer you an olive branch. Don’t be angry anymore.”

Wabei was really incensed and gritted his teeth tightly.

He jumped down from the tree and stood before Gu Mengmeng in human form. He jabbed a finger at her nose. “Do you only dare to mouth off in front of me? When Cole was putting the squeeze on you earlier today, why didn’t you use your sharp tongue to rebuke him?”

Gu Mengmeng didn’t get angry. She held Wabei’s arm and swung it side to side. “I am purposely bullying you because I know you can’t bear to hit me.”

“You…!” Wabei was speechless.

Gu Mengmeng pulled at the wrist that Chixuan had bitten. Her smile faded and she said in a soft voice, “This… I am sorry. Chixuan was in the wrong today. He should not have bitten you.”

Wabei refused to be moved. “There’s no should or should not. It’s very common for males to attack each other. It was my own choice not to strike him back. Blame it on the fact that I can’t afford to offend his mother…”

Gu Mengmeng gave a sweet smile. “Let Lea take a look. Put some medicinal herbs on it, if not it might get infected.”

Wabei snorted. “A small injury like this is nothing. I have been thrashed nearly to death by Snake but have never used any medicine. I still got up the next day alive and well.”

Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips. “I intend to use a bewitching spell on Chixuan, to let him not rely on Cole anymore. Only then will he return to my side, and I will no longer be coerced by Cole. So I really cannot go visit the Beast Deity today. Otherwise, by the time I wake up three to four days later, Chixuan will be spirited off to goodness know where again by Cole. The longer the two of them are together, the worse it will be for me… so… sorry.”

Having fought with Elvis and cooled off under the tree the whole afternoon, Wabei was not angry anymore.

As Gu Mengmeng said, he could not bear to hit her.

Even though he knew he was no match for Gu Mengmeng, he still could not bear to strike this petite figure.

At the beginning, it was because of Snake. But now… it had become a habit.

It had become a habit for him to take care of her and protect her. He had also gotten used to her noisy bickering and her reliance.

She radiated a warmth that made him wish to go closer.

It was strange. He was obviously a cold-blooded animal, but wished to attain that warmth.

If not for the fact that he never had a family, he would understand that warmth had another name—”family affection”.
