Chapter 1075: Put This Life Of Yours On Tab With Me For The Time Being.
Gu Mengmeng smiled as she took a deep breath. “Since you don’t want it, give it to me. From now on, your life belongs to me. You must obey all my commands for the rest of your life. Give up all your personal notions and follow me without question. Mmm… this is what I call a proper compensation. If you die just like that, I won’t benefit at all—what kind of lousy compensation is that?”
Barete was dumbstruck by Gu Mengmeng’s logic.
He…
Was a person who had betrayed her.
She was still willing… to trust him again?
She was also willing to give him another chance to remain by her side?
He thought she would never forgive him and would never wish to even look at him again.
That was why he said he would go up the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment and never come down again.
Only then might she be appeased.
But she was saying… he belonged to her?
“What, are you unwilling?” Gu Mengmeng raised her brow. “Alright, I won’t force you if you are unwilling. We will amend it to performing 10 tasks for me…”
“I am willing.” Barete blurted out.
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and nodded. “Mmm, good. That’s settled then. But I have not given thought to what ten tasks I want you to do. Put it on your debt to me for the time being.”
Barete shook his head and blushed slightly. He gazed at Gu Mengmeng with burning eyes. “Not that. I am saying… I am willing to give my life to you and obey you for the rest of my life. To discard all my personal notions and follow you without question. I am willing.”
“Eh?” Gu Mengmeng was actually just trying to scare him. They were friends, yet he still left without even a word of caution despite knowing that Oakley was scheming against her—Gu Mengmeng still held a grudge against Barete for that. After all, if he had cautioned her and let Gu Mengmeng know in advance about Oakley, things might have turned out differently.
Oakley and Bloom might not have lost their lives?
But Barete had agreed just like that, and Gu Mengmeng was caught off guard.
Gu Mengmeng gave a couple of dry laughs as she patted Barete’s shoulder. “Actually, you had just failed to pa.s.s on inside information, and that isn’t a crime that needs to be punished by death or by lifelong slavery.”
Barete’s expression froze. He looked away and lowered his head. “You… just don’t wish to see me again right? No matter, don’t force yourself. I don’t deserve your forgiveness in the first place.”
It had already been a year since Gu Mengmeng first came over to the Beast World. But there were still times when she was not quite used to how things were between the males and females here.
One was highly revered, while the other was regarded as even lower than dirt.
The slightest bit of distress caused to a female was punishable by death…
In view of Barete’s line of thinking, Gu Mengmeng knew that if she didn’t accept his servitude and punish him viciously, he would die thinking that she had not forgiven him.
Shaking her head in exasperation, Gu Mengmeng said, “Alright, put this life of yours on tab with me for the time being. When you meet a female that you like and wish to partner with her, I will return it to you.”
This meant that he could go free when he finally came around to his senses.
After all, Gu Mengmeng said “when you wish to partner” and not “after you partner”. This meant that the moment Barete announced “I like someone and want to partner now”, Gu Mengmeng would grant his freedom.
But Barete just smiled bitterly and shook his head. “I will never partner anyone in this lifetime.”
