Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO (Web Novel)
Chapter 596: So It’s Nice, That It Wasn’t A Dream

“Mighty Saintess…” A snake beast took a step forward, “What will happen to us, with you gone?”

Gu Mengmeng’s gaze swept across the crowd of snake beasts and realised, other than Wabei, there were practically no orcs that were above third-level.

Was it the consequence of breaking the mating contract after Snake killed Ellie? There was a lack of strong members in the Snake King valley.

Ha, no wonder Ellie dared to lay hands on her. She was betting on whether Snake would sacrifice the lives of the strongest in the Snake King valley just to have her killed.

Sadly, she lost.

In Snake’s eyes, there was practically nothing that was more important than Gu Mengmeng.

Gu Mengmeng’s eyebrows furrowed at the thought of Snake, her heart aching.

“After I send Saintess to Saint Nazaire, I will return and guard the Snake King valley on his behalf.” Wabei took a step forward, transforming into a half-orc, straightening his snake body, which was almost three floors in height, as he looked down at the crowd of snake beasts, asking, “Any more questions?”

Gu Mengmeng side-eyed, chuckling.

She knew, the “his” Wabei referred to was not herself, but Snake.

The snake orcs lowered their body in expression of agreement, before Wabei transformed into human form again, standing behind Gu Mengmeng, “Let’s go.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded, bring Elvis, Lea, Wabei and the three little ones out of the entrance of the Snake King valley.

Once they exited, they saw Ian, who was guarding at the entrance. He had always looked sickly, but now he looked even weaker.

Gu Mengmeng walked forward, bit her finger then squeezed out a drop of blood and rubbed it on Ian’s lips, “You have worked hard, for this period.”

Stunned, Ian wanted to rub the blood off his mouth, but realised that it had already seeped into his mouth and was taking effect speedily. It was as if all the blood in his body had been lit up, that boiling feeling was painful yet it brought a sense of relief. The feeling of inability to exert energy was fading away… She had, neutralised the venom in him?

Gu Mengmeng knew how confused Ian was feeling, but she did not wish to explain any further, only saying, “Let’s go to Sauder first, and I will slowly tell you the rest later.”

Ian did not say anything, only following behind Gu Mengmeng silently, having high alert against Wabei, who he saw as a potential enemy.

Wabei could not be bothered with him. If it were not for Snake who had ordered for him to be kept alive, that mere third-level bird would have long been a dish entering his body. He would not care to fight with a dish.

Gu Mengmeng’s body conditions were much better than before, so the progress of the journey was much faster than before.

Lea woke up that night.

Rubbing his head, the first thing he did when he opened his eyes was to look for Gu Mengmeng.

Tilting his head, he saw her zoning out beside the fire. Lea’s gaze subconsciously became more loving.

Supporting his body, he sat beside Gu Mengmeng, wrapping his big tail around her waist, gently calling out, “Mengmeng.”

Gu Mengmeng looked to the side at Lea, came back to her senses and smiled, “You’re awake.”

Lea’s hand gently caressed Gu Mengmeng’s tiny face, his gaze fell on her left ear, smiling extremely lovingly.

There was a white snow fox leaning on Gu Mengmeng’s ear, his head at her earlobe facing upwards, as if he was running along her ear inside it. His big, furry tail occupied the outside of her ear, like a specially made earring, vivid as life.”

“So… It’s nice, that it wasn’t a dream.”
