A p.r.i.c.king pain at the tip of her tongue made Gu Mengmeng regain her consciousness. Due to the discomfort in her body, she furrowed her eyebrows tightly. Her eyelids were so dry they hurt, and Gu Mengmeng thought that if she had opened her eyes at that very moment, it was possible for her corneas to be ripped off by her eyelids from how tightly they were stuck together.
A cold, moist feeling gently swept across Gu Mengmeng’s eyes, temporarily easing her discomfort.
She tried to squint her eyes, no light, but not obstructing her line of sight.
“Ooh…” Gu Mengmeng groaned once, rubbing her eyes, and saw the side view of the demon in close proximity. Her drowsiness wore off instantly and she sat up straight as if she had just stepped on an electric switch, “You you you you…”
The demon wiped the edges of his lips gently, looking at Gu Mengmeng rather displeased, “You’re awake?”
Gu Mengmeng touched her eyes… They were wet…
She felt a rush of disgust, thinking about how this guy looked so decent, yet had such a weird fetish? Enjoying eating others’ eye crust? Eww…
The demon grabbed the hand that Gu Mengmeng was using to rub her eyes, then carefully studied Gu Mengmeng’s face. After a while, he softly said the word, “Ugly”.
What——!
It was as if a huge knife had stabbed into Gu Mengmeng’s heart.
True, she was not as gloriously beautiful in person as Elvis and the rest had described her as, and was average at best in the modern world, but she wouldn’t be considered “ugly”?!
Making a fist, she remembered the huge tree that got knocked down last night and could only chuckle, “You are the mighty King, you are always right.”
The demon retrieved some fruits for Gu Mengmeng from the stone platform at the corner, “Eat.”
Gu Mengmeng took a look, and they were the exact fruits she had eaten last night. She stretched her neck, and saw fruits piled as high as a tiny hill behind the demon.
Gu Mengmeng blinked her eyes, asking, “You knocked down another tree?”
The demon shook his head, “There’s only one of that tree.”
That statement hit Gu Mengmeng like a truck and made her freeze. Even ruining bloodlines has a limit, doesn’t it? Ruthless! d.a.m.n, there was only one such species, yet it went extinct just with one kick?
The demon looked at Gu Mengmeng’s strange expression, frowning unhappily.
He clearly saw how much she treasured them yesterday, so he went to pluck all the fruits from the tree after she had fallen asleep last night. He thought she would be pleased when she saw them in the morning, but why did she look like she was on the verge of tears, and even a little angry?
Tsk, even uglier.
Gu Mengmeng used both hands to take the fruits carefully from the demon’s hands, plucking one and placing it in her mouth, tasting cautiously… seedless?
“Hmm…” Gu Mengmeng was rather sceptical, so she plucked another one, still seedless? No wonder there was only one fruit tree, the frequency of seed production was too low.
The demon lifted Gu Mengmeng’s chin, frowning with a cold expression, “Smile.”
“Ah?” Gu Mengmeng was confused, not understanding what he just said.
The demon remained cold, ordering, “Smile.”
Gu Mengmeng grinned, forcefully showing her teeth, giving a smile to get it over and done with.
Impatient, the demon shook his head, “So ugly.”
Gu Mengmeng raised her fist, and wanted to slap him at the back of his head while he wasn’t watching. However, before she could even reach his hair, the demon had turned around to give Gu Mengmeng a cold stare.
Gu Mengmeng looked awkwardly at her arm that had stiffened in mid-air, then faked a smile and waved, “Hi~”
The demon snorted coldly and did not respond to Gu Mengmeng’s ‘greeting’. He looked at her with cold eyes and asked, “Don’t you like to eat this type of fruits? Why aren’t you happy that I gave you so many of these?”
