“My Mengmeng does not like the smell of blood, get lost yourselves or… I will do it,” Before Lea had finished his words, a few of Nina’s partners that did not dare to rush out just now started to walk in from the boundaries of Sandy’s place cautiously. They stopped and glanced at Lea every few steps they took. Seeing Lea just turning and hugging Mengmeng back to the stove with no intentions of bothering them, they mustered the courage to quickly run in and dragged their injured family members out. While the long-stunned Nina had to be carried away by one of her partners, her eyes were filled with shock and blankness, as though she could not comprehend what had happened.

After Nina had left, there was only Sandy’s family, Gu Mengmeng, Lea and the half-orc female that had followed Nina along, resembling a maidservant.

Gu Mengmeng looked at the half-orc female and asked, “Your master had left, why haven’t you?”

The female bit her lower lip, looking very anxious. After hesitating for a while, she asked timidly, “Can I… stay with you?”

“Oh?” Gu Mengmeng raised her eyebrows and asked, “Aren’t you Nina’s friend? It won’t be suitable for you to be with us, will it?”

That female shook her head like a pellet drum, with tears in her eyes, she said, “I am not friends with Nina, just that she was the perfect female, while Sandy and I are merely half-orc females. If we don’t listen to her, I will be bullied. I don’t want to be bullied anymore, please, let me stay with you, is that alright?”

Gu Mengmeng had a shallow understanding with the people in Saint Nazaire, so she looked at Sandy, asking for her opinion. Sandy pulled Gu Mengmeng’s hand and looked back with a slight pleading look, probably because she felt the empathy being in the same situation as this half-orc female.

Gu Mengmeng thought, no matter what, one more friend was better that one more enemy. If the person had already expressed her good-will, why did she have to reject coldly? Moreover, although this female had always followed along Nina, she did not do anything to harm Sandy other than self-protection. Since Sandy had already pleaded for her, what was there not to agree?

So Gu Mengmeng stretched out her hand to the female and said, “h.e.l.lo, my name is Gu Mengmeng.”

That female held Gu Mengmeng’s hand with both of hers, before bending her knees and kneeling on the ground… This posture was exactly the same as how Nina’s partners had begged for pardon from Lea just now.

Gu Mengmeng was stunned, she wanted to pull the female up, but realized her weight was nowhere close to what she could have managed. A few tries and the female did not budge at all.

Gu Mengmeng asked, “What are you doing? Get up, get up!”

Lea rested his hand on Gu Mengmeng’s shoulder lightly, he turned his face away and smiled, “She was showing her loyalty to you, she will get up if you pat her head.”

Gu Mengmeng’s mouth twitched. Why the heck was forging a friends.h.i.+p so similar to training a dog? What was with loyalty and what-nots.

But looking at the female lying on the ground refusing to get up, Gu Mengmeng could not do anything but to pat her head as a form of accepting her loyalty.

That female raised her head with eyes full of tears and looked at Gu Mengmeng, “My name is Maya. From today onwards, I am yours.”

Gu Mengmeng felt her veins bulged, why did the sentence “From today onwards, I am yours” sounded extremely awkward?

“Maya, friends.h.i.+p is something that is mutual, we are equal and I am not of a higher status than you, so you don’t have to be like this,” Gu Mengmeng said as she leaned into Lea’s arms. She looked at Lea’s side face and smiled, “Besides, I cannot make you mine. Only he… is mine.”
