Chapter 462: I Don’t Trust The Human Heart, I Trust You Guys
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Mengmeng recalled the events that happened after she came to the beast world. Although Elvis and Lea had always been nice to her, but prior to mating, she had never fully trusted them no matter how much they promised or made oaths to her. There had always been an uneasiness present in her heart.
Even on the day she had confirmed her relations.h.i.+p status with Lea, she still thought he would eat her…
After having experienced many things later on, the fact that Elvis was her warmth and companion caused her to open up her heart slowly, to her… “trust” was a luxury, she no longer possessed such abilities.
Smiling, Gu Mengmeng replied, “Don’t believe others’ words easily, so they don’t have the chance to let you down. Don’t make promises rashly either, in case you disappoint others. Haven’t you heard of that? There’s only a thin line between a promise and a lie, the former is the one the one who says that believes in it, while the latter is one who hears that believes in it. So… this is the most unreliable thing, how can anyone believe it?”
Lea tilted his head, looking at Gu Mengmeng and asked, “You don’t trust promises, but trust the human heart?”
Gu Mengmeng knew Lea was asking her about allowing the eagle-owl tribe to mate with the females in the tribe, so she smiled and replied, “I don’t trust the human heart, I trust you guys.”
Lea was stunned, and even Elvis stopped in his tracks to look at Gu Mengmeng.
Shyly, Gu Mengmeng lowered her head, “The both of you certainly have sufficient capability to build Saint Nazaire into the greatest tribe in the beast world. The rise of Saint Nazaire would happen sooner or later even without me. My appearance is just adding flowers to the brocade. A powerful tribe… will never lack loyal tribesmen.
“No.” Elvis gently kissed Gu Mengmeng’s tiny hand, “Saint Nazaire would be nothing but a cold, empty sh.e.l.l without you. You were the one who brought hope to Saint Nazaire, life to Lea and I. You’re not merely an addition of flowers to the brocade, you’re the only key that can open the door to our destiny.”
Gu Mengmeng’s tiny heart skipped a beat from Elvis’ serious att.i.tude. She hugged Elvis’ neck and leaned her forehead against his lovingly, “Silly hubby… did you know? Before I met you, I was celibate.”
Elvis looked at Gu Mengmeng, not interrupting her, only quietly listening to her talk.
“I never really agreed about the concept of marriage, much less trust. I won’t say the reason, you guys know that too.” Gu Mengmeng’s gaze floated to the fellow tribesmen following behind. She had already made up a big lie about being the daughter of the beast deity, so she definitely could not tell others that her parents had divorced. However, she has brought it up to Lea and Elvis previously in Sauder, so she believed the both of them would not have forgotten what she had mentioned.
As expected, Elvis and Lea looked gloomy, heart ache showing on their faces.
Gu Mengmeng unfurrowed Elvis’ brows gently, then continued, “But… you continued staying by my side, doing many weird and even crazy things for me. You see me as the most important, never showing any signs of impatience no matter how unreasonable I may get. You’ve seen my ugliest sides when I cry, yet you still adore me like one would to a princess. Most importantly… no matter what happened, you never wanted to abandon me… never wanted to leave my side. You made me believe that, perhaps there is someone, who can accompany me for the rest of my life, and will not say goodbye at any junction in life.”
