Chapter 731: That Romance Novel Didn’t Pull One Over Me After All.

How much blind faith did the people of Saint Nazaire have in Gu Mengmeng?

Hmm…

It could more or less be discerned from this digging expedition.

All the females and males from the tribe came. They were highly curious over that circle of dirt.

The 18 females stood closest to the circle and scrutinized it, as if they could eventually a.n.a.lyze what kind of trick was it.

The males all stood compliantly beside Elvis, waiting for his command.

After that battle with the stray beasts and Gu Mengmeng’s accidental loss of control, there were no longer any first-level beasts in Saint Nazaire.

All those who stood here now had pretty strong combat prowess.

Elvis ordered everyone to dig into the ground according to Gu Mengmeng’s circle. There was no explanation, just an order. The males all flashed their claws and started digging.

Actually, they didn’t need to dig too deep. A depth of about three to four meters was enough.

But without any digging machinery, it was hard work to dig manually by hand.

Since she had ordered the males to perform that task, Gu Mengmeng naturally had to take care of the females in return.

Luckily these females were all fans of Gu Mengmeng. They clamored around her, hoping to hear her stories.

But this time, they didn’t want to hear stories about Yoo Sijin. Instead, they wished to hear about Snake. Information about Gu Mengmeng’s experience in the Snake King valley had spread like wildfire, but none of the versions were wholly accurate. Each version was more fantastical than the one before, making everyone itch for more details. Now that they had the rare chance to hear the story from Gu Mengmeng herself, of course they must seize it.

Gu Mengmeng couldn’t fend off their enthusiasm and so started to narrate her experience right from the moment she opened her eyes in the Snake King valley.

How she entered, she could not say…

She had promised Ian never to let anyone know she rode on his back.

When she reached the part where Ellie was trying to kill her, the eyes of all the females went red with anger. “If not for the kindness of the Messenger to let her stay on, she would have been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by stray beasts. And she still behaved so wickedly?”

“She is obviously a complete female, but pretended to be a half-beast female to infiltrate the tribe. She had ulterior motives right from the beginning.”

“I was thinking why was she always going over to Sandy’s place. So she was going there to sow discord. Luckily Sandy wasn’t tricked, if not…”

Gu Mengmeng didn’t respond to their comments.

Hatred for Ellie?

She did not have the right to.

It was just a matter of different circ.u.mstances.

Being beaten into such a pitiful state, she could only blame herself for being too weak and unable to protect her own children as well as herself. It was also because of her that Elvis and Lea had to endure the punishment from the mating contract.

Anyway, she was already dead. All grievances should be in the past.

It was not worth it to continue holding grudges against a dead person. After all, no matter how much you hated her, there was no way you could s.n.a.t.c.h her back from h.e.l.l to kill her all over again.

The conversation had completely gone off-topic as the females conducted a heated debate.

Three women made a market and four a fair. There were 19 females here… heh, it was like a farmers’ wholesale market.

Gu Mengmeng did not intend to pull them back to the original topic. She let them go on chiding Ellie with indignant righteousness.

All the way until a cheer erupted from the males at the digging site, did the females finally pause in their discussion.

Gu Mengmeng rose and walked to the side of the well. She looked down and smiled.
