Chapter 551: You Know the Way to Transmigrate Back?!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Snake swam to Gu Mengmeng’s side and rested his upper body on the land. He looked at Gu Mengmeng and asked, “Why?”
Gu Mengmeng did not want to spill out the embarra.s.sing story of how she was so heartbroken that she wanted to jump into a river and transmigrate back to the modern world, but was mistaken as a suicide attempt. She skipped some parts and said briefly, “I transmigrated here in a river, so he was scared that whenever I am near a river, I will be pulled into the water.”
Snake smirked, his long arms grabbed Gu Mengmeng’s ankle. She struggled in a panic, but eventually fell into Snake’s slightly cold arms.
‘Splas.h.!.+’, Snake hugged Gu Mengmeng and fell into the river together.
Gu Mengmeng’s swimming skills were above average, she struggled for a short time and quickly found her balance. Then, she stared at Snake and asked, “What are you doing?”
Snake used his snake tail to lightly lift Gu Mengmeng, his cold finger brushed again Gu Mengmeng’s cheeks, tidying her wet hair and he said, “Tell that somebody to be rest a.s.sured, you would never be able to transmigrate back even if you drown yourself in the river.”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned, she suddenly grabbed Snake’s shoulders in excitement and asked, “You know the way to transmigrate back?!”
Snake’s face darkened, the glistening ripples in the river were reflected in his emerald green eyes. His lips opened slightly and he said slowly, “Yea, I do know it. Do you want to hear?”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned.
Does she want to hear it?
Does she?
She had panicked when she just arrived in the Beast World, scared by the beasts that could transform into human forms and the ‘monsters’ that ran wild naked, she complained about the scarcity of resources here and the lack of entertainment…
But other than that one time she tried to avoid everything when she was heartbroken, she had never thought of going back.
This was more like her home than the modern world.
Everyone she loved, everyone that loved her, were all here.
Does she… want to go back?
After she went back, what was she going to do? Finish the uncompleted university courses and struggle her entire life with one part-time job after another?
She had to admit that the life in Beast World was too comfortable for her. Elvis and Lea had given them the best care and she had never lived such a peaceful and happy life ever since she was seven.
Gu Mengmeng slowly moved backwards, she looked at Snake, feeling lost, but eventually shook her head.
“I don’t want to know… I don’t want to go back… I promised them that I won’t leave them behind…”
Snake seemed surprised, he looked at Gu Mengmeng blankly until she had went back on land. He caught up with her from behind in the half-beast form and did not change back to the human form. Snake carried her in his arms and swam directly back to the cave.
When they were back, there was a pit of fire being lit up in the cave and a pot with stewed meat was set up on it.
Gu Mengmeng did not have to taste it to know that this was done by Lea.
Gu Mengmeng sat beside the fire pit, hugging her knees with both hands. Her head was in a mess and she could not sort out her thoughts clearly. Snake’s face kept appearing in her head, saying “Yea, I do know it. Do you want to hear?” and she could not make it disappear.
She had clearly rejected him, but still thought over it uncontrollably.
Gu Mengmeng glanced at Snake secretly, while Snake just happened to be looking at her. He wiped Gu Mengmeng’s face lightly with his hand and said, “Didn’t you say you like the food he cooked? Why aren’t you eating?”
Gu Mengmeng looked at the pot of stewed meat faintly, her eyes twinkled, before taking a huge bowl of meat and ate it mouth by mouth. She felt the food warming her stomach, but the steam had misted her eyes.
