Chapter 1621: Don’t Want Him To Walk In The Same Footsteps As Bi An
Gu Mengmeng looked over and indeed saw the blossoming red spider lily.
She reached her hands out to pick it and the flower easily fell into her palms.
This… was Snake’s heart.
“Do you still want to build a Dragon Gate Inn here to sell human flesh bun?” Elvis looked at the demonic red flower and smiled bitterly with tightly furrowed brows.
In his lifetime, it must be difficult to beat Snake right?
Previously at the Snake King valley, Snake had said that he was ‘really weak’. He thought that after becoming a Beast King, he could win, but in the end… he was saved by Snake again.
A thousand years later, when Snake returns, will his position as the first partner still be secure?
He laughed helplessly. A thousand years later… there should be a battle.
It was going to be difficult to determine the winner between two Beast Kings.
Gu Mengmeng did not know that Elvis’ mind had already drifted to the future thousand years later, and only smiled while nodding, “Yeah, I am going to build a Dragon Gate Inn here. It will not sell human flesh bun, but it will only be waiting for someone’s return.”
“Alright,” Elvis replied simply, then kissed Gu Mengmeng’s little face and said, “Lea and I are going to look for the blue stone for you, we shall stay here until the Dragon Gate Inn is built, okay?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and smiled to indicate agreement.
Lea and Elvis both left to look for the blue stone, whereas Gu Mengmeng sat on the broken wall with her legs dangling from it. She hummed the ‘Sorrow of Separation’ and looked at the desolate desert, feeling like she was a fighter who was out on a travel.
Auretin glanced sideways at the Heart of the Desert in Gu Mengmeng’s hands. He hesitated for a moment before saying, “This, let me guard it for you.”
“You?” Gu Mengmeng tilted her head to look at Auretin.
Auretin nodded and said, “Lea told me that I am the most suitable person to guard it, that’s why he had brought me along.”
Gu Mengmeng looked at him in confusion.
Auretin always had an expressionless face, but his eyes seemed exceptionally sincere as he said, “I was born in the Mecca Desert and am the only surviving orc who is suited to stay here. If I do not guard it here, then no one else can do it for you. After all, I am your guardian beast and it is my duty to help you guard something. Furthermore, this is beneficial to me, I don’t have to become your partner to break through the third-level, and I might even reach the demiG.o.d level like Bi An. An undying body, how enticing is that? Moreover… Lea told me that if I am willing to help you guard the Heart of the Desert here, he will let Chixuan arrange some stray beasts to deliver food to me.”
After saying so much, his emphasis should in the last sentence, right?!
Gu Mengmeng did not know whether to cry or laugh. She looked at him and said, “Have you thought carefully? Staying here alone will be lonely…”
Auretin gave out a scoff that sounded like ‘he he’ but his face did not move when he continued, “Before meeting you, not only was I alone, I was also despised and chased away by people who came here. After I became stronger, I was continuously being hara.s.sed. To me, it is great to stay alone without being interrupted by others. Moreover, I do not want to lose any friends anymore.”
“But…” At the thought of Fei Rui, Gu Mengmeng felt her heart ache. But she had remembered how she had retrieved the Heart of the Desert previously. She did not want Auretin to become the next Fei Rui, neither did she want him to walk in the same footsteps as Bi An – after guarding it for a thousand years, he was going to be dug of his heart.
