Chapter 977: Aiyo Little Shit, You Didn’t Die

Elvis clenched his fists tightly for a long time before finally yielding to Gu Mengmeng’s tears .

He embraced her and took a deep breath . “I want to protect your smile, but always end up making you cry… I am still too weak . ”

Snake’s last words to him were like a hammer hovering over his heart . Every time Gu Mengmeng endured any suffering, it would strike down upon him viciously .

Gu Mengmeng shook her head . “You are already doing very well… really very well…”

“But you are still crying . ” Elvis held Gu Mengmeng’s little face tenderly . He kissed away her tears and looked into her reddened eyes . He said in a voice laced with both warmth and exasperation, “You know I am helpless against your tears, yet you are crying to force me to give in . ”

Wabei walked over and snorted . “Have you all finished your dilly dallying? Are we still going to retrieve the Soul of the Forest?”

Gu Mengmeng turned her tear-streaked face towards Wabei . “Aiyo little shit, you didn’t die…”

Wabei gritted his teeth . “I said before that the only person who can kill me was destroyed by you . So of course I didn’t die . ”

Gu Mengmeng nodded . “Yes, people say that baddies can live up to a thousand years… so you have at least another 200 years to go . ”

Wabei discovered that he had no advantage at all when faced with Gu Mengmeng .

He could not win her in either a physical fight or a verbal exchange . In the end, he just rolled his eyes in irritation and kept quiet .

But Gu Mengmeng had stopped crying after Wabei’s jibing .

Sniffling, she observed her surroundings to discover that they were no longer amongst the blood vines . “Have you all been on the road while I was unconscious?”

Elvis shook his head . “We dare not move you unnecessarily while you were unconscious, in case anything happened . So we stayed put at our original location . ”

Stayed put at their original location?

Suspicion rose in Gu Mengmeng .

A crystal-clear scenery surrounded them, so pristine that one dared not even touch anything for fear of tainting that purity .

Where had that malevolent forest of blood vines gone?

If the area overtaken by the vines was akin to a blood-drenched webbed cave, then this place was like a palace upon the Jade Lakes in the ninth heavens .

If one looked closely, it was not hard to see that these crystal-like vegetation looked very much like those blood vines…

“This…” Gu Mengmeng stared in a daze for some time, before recalling that right before she fainted, streaks of bright red liquid had gathered in her palm .

She opened her hands to find that the wounds had been completely healed . Not even the tiniest scar was left behind .

Gu Mengmeng mumbled woodenly, “So it wasn’t just a hallucination from being injured . I really absorbed all the blood in those vines into my own body? I… when did I become so hardy?”

Elvis didn’t see the entire process, but he did witness her absorbing the last three vine chrysalis . He couldn’t help feeling worried as he noticed her staring dumbly at her own hands . “Are you feeling any discomfort?”

Gu Mengmeng shook her head . “At that time, I just felt as if an immense power was entering my body . That feeling has gone . ”

Elvis heaved a sigh of relief . “Everything here is so bizarre . We shouldn’t linger on . We must quickly accomplish our task and head home after retrieving the Soul of the Forest . ”

Gu Mengmeng nodded in assent . Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng and stood up, intending to continue on the pathway . But those crystal-like vines were full of brambles and thorns, effectively blocking up the way . It was as if they were purposely impeding their progress .
