Chapter 769: My Sister Is Free!

Lea led Carter to the side and guided him through it all. Gu Mengmeng truly couldn’t bear to listen to Carter anymore.

How could such a usually intelligent person become such a retard when talking about matters of the heart?

Nestled in Elvis’ arms, Gu Mengmeng sighed. “Thankfully, you were the one I met at that time. Otherwise, I would have been driven to my death in a rage.”

Elvis’ eyes glowed with love and doting. He kissed Gu Mengmeng’s eyelids and whispered in a raspy voice. “Silly girl. I am the one who should be thankful.”

Carter spent that entire night listening to Lea’s teachings. Wabei didn’t return and Ian also laid low in some random tree in the forest.

Meanwhile, Elvis held Gu Mengmeng as he listened to her count the stars and explain about horoscopes. He didn’t really understand it but still found it rather interesting.

Her voice was so gentle that he spent the entire night awake just to listen to her. He didn’t even want to miss the sound of her breathing.

The next morning, Wabei brought back some fresh fruits while Ian returned with an armful of bird eggs. It was a bizarre sight and Gu Mengmeng stared at him as if he was a pervert. Ian snorted in response. “Our Eagle-owl Tribe doesn’t have any descendants. Why should these unborn dumb birds proliferate?”

Gu Mengmeng clicked her tongue, sighing at the fact that Ian was such an inwardly evil person. Such a “if I can’t be happy, I don’t want anyone else to be” mentality was really too evil.

Nevertheless, Gu Mengmeng knew in her heart that it was Lea who instructed Ian to gather those bird eggs.

Gu Mengmeng remained nestled in Elvis’ arms. Somehow, Gu Mengmeng could that that something happened to Elvis during that one day when she was away in the sea. On the surface, nothing appeared to have changed, but Gu Mengmeng could feel that Elvis was very ill-at-ease, as if he especially missed her.

But since he didn’t wish to tell her, Gu Mengmeng could only chose not to pursue the matter.

Gu Mengmeng bit down on the fruit brought back by Wabei. She waited eagerly for Lea to finish cooking the eggs. Before the eggs were done, several familiar-looking people emerged from the sea.

Fei Rui was running over with Melinda in tow.

Looking at the smiles upon their faces, Gu Mengmeng knew Carter had quickly and effectively completed his mission. It was already late at night when he finally went home yesterday, but he managed to clear Melinda’s name so soon.

“Great Messenger!” Fei Rui’s skin was as fair as Melinda’s. So fair that Gu Mengmeng couldn’t bear to let them bake in the sun for too long. It was as if the sunlight might melt them.

The cheeks of both Fei Rui and Melinda were currently flushed. The Mermaid Tribe had no sweat glands so their skin remained dry. Nevertheless, their panting expressions revealed just how eager this pair of siblings wished to tell Gu Mengmeng their good news.

Gu Mengmeng patted Fei Rui on the shoulder. “It’s alright, take your time to speak.”

Fei Rui composed himself, his eyes sparkling like the winter star. Nearly crying for joy, he said, “My sister… is free!”

Gu Mengmeng maintained a polite smile. Although this news… she already knew it last night, she still wanted to convey her happiness and congratulations. She handed a fruit to Melinda. “Here, for you to eat. To celebrate your freedom.”

Melinda was somewhat bashful before Gu Mengmeng. She pouted as she looked at Fei Rui, who nodded at her encouragingly. She then took over the fruit from Gu Mengmeng and said demurely, “Thank you, great Messenger.”
