Chapter 634: I’m Just Scared Of Your Affection Subsiding As My Beauty Withers Away Because You Won’t Like Me Anymore After I Become Ugly.

Gu Mengmeng emphasised the two words ‘trusted subordinates’ and indeed it made the tribe elders’ eyes s.h.i.+ne, they even kept the obvious unwilling expressions on their faces.

Gu Mengmeng cast a glance to allow Auretin and Barete to remove the beast skin. The stone tablets with ‘The Thirty-Six Stratagems’ carved on them were presented right in front of the few old foxes.

The few tribe elders widened their eyes even more. Even though they could not recognize the words carved, they were aware that those were symbols used by the Beast Deity. Then, they hurriedly knelt onto the ground and kowtowed towards the stone tablets.

Gu Mengmeng somehow recalled the days when she worked in the theme park. Upon seeing stones with words carved on them, some older tourists also started taking photos of them as if they were possessed by those special stones.

However, these few were clearly crazier.

Facepalming, Gu Mengmeng coldly stared at how the few old foxes devote themselves in front of the stone tablets.

After they finished their stuff, Gu Mengmeng then opened her mouth to speak, “The Beast Deity orders that this esoterica be kept here in order to frighten the demons and protect the people. You few tribe elders are people of n.o.ble character and high prestige and are the best candidates to protect them. It’s just that….”

Gu Mengmeng deliberately pulled her last word and sized the fl.u.s.tered tribe elders with the corners of her eyes. Upon seeing how they were going to pounce on her, she then continued, “It’s just that Oakley’s still young so I have to leave the few tribe elders behind to cooperate with his job but it will be quite inconvenient for all of you. Of course, although I’m the messenger of the Beast Deity, I’m also a democratic person. I respect the tribe elders’ views, if you guys aren’t willing, I definitely won’t force it.”

An old fellow took the lead to kneel on the ground first as he crept by Gu Mengmeng’s feet, crying out, “I’m the most loyal servant of the messenger, it’s my duty to share the messenger’s worries. No inconvenience or force is involved. Protecting the esoterica is our honor. Mighty messenger, please fulfill our wish, I’m willing to stay behind to work with witch doctor Oakley.”

Since one of them had agreed, how could the rest of them lose to him?

Thus, Gu Mengmeng settled those few old foxes with just two stone tablets.

After a series of pacifying and comfort, the tribe elders left the meeting room in gratification and their old faces covered with tears.

Gu Mengmeng heaved a deep sigh of relief as she lied on her seat in clear fatigue.

Lea stood beside Gu Mengmeng and placed his arm over her shoulders, then circled it over her neck. He said while rubbing her temples gently, “Why do you need to interact with them yourself? You can just leave these stuff to me.”

Gu Mengmeng lifted her head and smiled. “You’ve already worked so hard for half a month just to let me return to Saint Nazaire. Your dark eye circles are all out already.”

Lea touched his own eyes instinctively and asked her with some form of worry, “Is it ugly?”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled and teased him, “Didn’t you claim yourself to be the best-looking male in this world? You’re even worrying now?”

Lea pinched Gu Mengmeng’s little nose and said, “I’m just scared of your affection subsiding as my beauty withers away because you won’t like me anymore after I become ugly.”

Gu Mengmeng huddled deeper into Lea’s arms and said, “I’m leaving the entire snow fox tribe behind, will you….feel uncomfortable?”

Lea paused for a moment before shaking his head. He replied, “No matter how much they treat me with respect today and serve me as the Ninth Highness, I’m aware that I can never treat them as my own tribesmen anymore.”

Gu Mengmeng raised her head to glance at Lea, her gaze filled with heartache.

Lea, however, smiled as he looked at Gu Mengmeng with devotion written in his long eyes. He comforted her, “I don’t belong to Sauder or Saint Nazaire. I only belong to you. Other than you, I’m not related to anyone else.”
