Chapter 936: Those Who Truly Wish To Help You Will Find Any Direction Convenient

“The Soul of the Forest…” Gu Mengmeng savored those words with a chuckle. “Of course. I said before that I will grant one wish to anyone who can help me get the five treasures. If your wish is for me to not pursue this matter, I can agree to that now.”

“Alright, it’s a deal.” Leonard bowed towards Gu Mengmeng before saying, “Then I will go back first to carry out some preparations. I will await the arrival of the Great Messenger at the Zacharias tribe.”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled and nodded her a.s.sent.

Leonard and Nick turned and left.

Gu Mengmeng turned back to the rest of the 24 men. It was clear that they had been dumbstruck by the mention of the Soul of the Forest.

Compared to the Soul of the Forest, the “sincerity” they had prepared was obviously inadequate.

Gu Mengmeng also didn’t wish to make things hard for them. Hence, she stretched lazily and stood up. “I am tired. For the remaining matters, you and…”

“Great Messenger, please go back and rest. I will handle the rest of the matters and offer a satisfactory answer to you and Mister Wabei.” Oakley cut in. Gu Mengmeng thought about it and didn’t object. She just answered with a “mmm” and let Elvis carry her back.

Wabei had no patience for such “friendly negotiations”. If not for Gu Mengmeng, he would not have bothered coming to listen to their nonsense. Now that Gu Mengmeng was leaving, he naturally followed suit.

When they returned to the stone castle, Lea said to Elvis, “Zacharias is near the stray beast camp, so let’s just stay at that camp when we are there. In case any overly-c.o.c.ky fellow tries to present himself to Mengmeng.”

Elvis nodded. “Mmm, I was thinking the same thing.”

Gu Mengmeng asked Wabei, “Little s.h.i.+t, are you coming with me this time?”

Wabei nodded. “Previously for the Kiss of the Ocean, there was a poisonous fog and a swamp, who knows what’s in store this time? Knowing that you are going into a risky situation, I must definitely accompany you. Otherwise, how can I account to him if anything happens to you?”

Gu Mengmeng laughed. “But don’t you need to head back to the Snake King valley and report on this matter? After all, this is the first time in over a thousand years that an external enemy managed to enter the valley and kill your members. It must be a major issue.”

Wabei stared coldly at Gu Mengmeng. He pondered for a moment, before nodding rather impatiently. “Mmm, I do need to report back on this.”

Gu Mengmeng said, “Then you hurry back and settle things at the Snake King valley first. After all, the Snake King valley and Zacharias are in opposite directions.”

Wabei rolled his eyes and rapped Gu Mengmeng on the head. “Those who truly wish to help you will find any direction convenient. Those who hold you in high regard will find time for you be it day or night..”

Gu Mengmeng was moved by Wabei’s words. She jumped forward and hugged him. “Little s.h.i.+t, you have really evolved, you can speak human words now…”

“Get lost!” Wabei raged. “I am kindly offering myself as your bodyguard, and you are still insulting me like that.”

Gu Mengmeng laughed. “Alright, alright. Don’t be angry. I know you are a sunny guy…”

Wabei narrowed his eyes at Gu Mengmeng before hollering. “Don’t think because you are grinning that I don’t know you are secretly mocking me! Sunny guy doesn’t sound like a compliment at all. Can’t you say a single nice thing about me!”

Gu Mengmeng spread her hands in exasperation. After all, the term “sunny guy” to a man was like the term “green tea b.i.t.c.h” to a woman. So Wabei wasn’t entirely wrong in saying it was not a compliment.

But little s.h.i.+t, this time, Gu Mengmeng was complimenting you in all sincerity.
