Chapter 1189: Old Friends
The fog thickened again as the television episode ended.
Gu Mengmeng smiled. “It’s been a long time since I last saw Bai Lan. I don’t even know how she is now. I wonder if she has reined in that quick-fired temper of hers?”
The Beast Deity didn’t answer but just gave a wordless smile.
Gu Mengmeng stretched out before standing up. “Daddy, I decided to go seek out the Heart of the Desert. Regarding the fabled Bi An, how much do you about him? Can you reveal a little?”
The Beast Deity didn’t seem at all surprised at Gu Mengmeng’s question. He nodded. “Bi An…”
There was a trace of nostalgia in the Beast Deity’s expression. Gu Mengmeng was rather surprised at that and she tilted her head in question. “Daddy, do you know him?”
The Beast Deity composed himself and nodded with a chuckle. “Mmm, we are old friends.”
Gu Mengmeng’s eyes brightened. “Then tell me quick. What his likes and dislikes? I heard he’s the guardian of the Heart of the Desert. I need to make good with him to get the Heart of the Desert.”
The Beast Deity World pondered for a moment before shaking his head. “He is a very strange person. Whether he likes or dislikes you—he judges people solely by first impressions. Even if you exterminated all life on earth, if he thinks you are good right from the start, he will remain resolutely by your side helping s.h.i.+eld you from the b.l.o.o.d.y rage of the world . But if he dislikes you from the onset, you can carry out the most merciful acts in the world and he still will not treat you well. So…”
Gu Mengmeng held her forehead, feeling speechless. “So he is a stubborn uncle who judges others based solely on his own whims.”
“Uncle?” The Beast Deity asked.
Gu Mengmeng nodded as a matter of fact. “You are my father and he is your old friend. He is also one of w.a.n.g Xiaoxin’s partners. Although he was dumped, they should still be considered ex-husband and wife right? Snakel is w.a.n.g Xiaoxin’s son and so Bi An can be considered his stepfather. So any way you look at it, I should still call him uncle?”
The Beast Deity laughed out loud and nodded. He caressed Gu Mengmeng’s head. “Mmm, my daughter is so courteous. She displays such good upbringing.”
Gu Mengmeng continued imploringly. “In other words, whether or not I gain this uncle’s favor is all up to luck?”
The Beast Deity thought about it for a moment before nodding. “You can say that.”
“Daddy, how is your relations.h.i.+p with this uncle like? If I use your name, will it give rise to good feelings?” Gu Mengmeng asked.
The Beast World looked somewhat conflicted. “I am afraid that the t.i.tle of the Beast Deity’s daughter is useless before him.”
“Daddy, you… did you also pursue w.a.n.g Xiaoxin then?” Gu Mengmeng stared at the Beast Deity in shock. She did not want to have someone like w.a.n.g Xiaoxin as her stepmother—someone who was so unpredictable and a certified… crazy lady.
The Beast Deity rubbed his nose and smiled vaguely. “I didn’t woo w.a.n.g Xiaoxin, but I was more or less involved in their breakup. So… mmm… well, you know.”
“d.a.m.n!” Gu Mengmeng felt like she had been struck by lightning.
In the Beast World, how much would one hate another for causing a separation between husband and wife? Gu Mengmeng didn’t even dare to imagine.
No point dropping her father’s name now. Gu Mengmeng felt that Bi An would kill her on the spot the moment she admitted she was the Beast Deity’s daughter.
Gu Mengmeng sat down on the floor and gazed up at the Beast Deity. “Daddy, how about I give up on the Heart of the Desert, and just go look for the Love of the Sky or the Spirit of the Rocky Cliffs then.”
