Chapter 1456: Heading Into The Motou Mountain Range

In the end, only Auretin would be left behind to wait for them .

Auretin was not a reckless person . He knew his own strength and so didn’t find it a shameful thing to be left behind alone while everyone else went forward .

It took a certain kind of maturity to understand the concept of only doing what you could and not be a burden to others during critical times .

As Elvis, Lea and Wabei were clearly unable to ascend the mountains, they went their separate ways .

Gregory carried Gu Mengmeng and flew directly to the peak of the Motou mountains, while Elvis, Lea and Wabei trekked forward into the snow .

They experienced the so-called “riding on a dead horse toward a mountain” effect: something was clearly right before you, but even after running at it all day, it appeared like you failed to make any headway at all . Add to that the fact that one’s speed would be severely restricted by the myriad of difficulties faced when trudging through the heavy snow .

Elvis and Lea couldn’t bear to let Gu Mengmeng follow them on foot and experience this suffering . So they naturally approved of Gregory’s suggestion to let him carry Gu Mengmeng straight up to the peak .

It didn’t matter even if Gu Mengmeng managed to get the Love of the Sky before they reach the Motou mountains . Anyway, Gregory had excellent eyes and would definitely be able to spot them on the return journey .

When she previously rode upon Gregory, Gu Mengmeng was still very worried about hindering Gregory’s chances of finding a bride .

But now that his status was already confirmed and it was clear that he would never get another female, Gu Mengmeng no longer hesitated . She just sprawled against Gregory’s back and instructed Elvis and Lea to take good care of Wabei, and not to let him die in the Motou mountains .

It was a rare occurrence that Wabei didn’t bristle at that . He just continued staring fixedly at that mountain .

Gregory had a massive physique and Gu Mengmeng would be well-covered by his outer feathers when riding upon his back . Meanwhile, she would be nestled in his soft down feathers and kept toasty by his body warmth—completely sheltered by the onslaught of the harsh winds .

It might just be her own mis-perception but it seemed to Gu Mengmeng that Gregory’s back felt much warmer and wider than the previous time when he carried her up the Motou mountains .

One’s feelings would naturally change accordingly to the shift in a person’s status .

But knowing that he was just a 10 year old “kid”, Gu Mengmeng still blushed from embarrassment .

Gu Mengmeng’s line of sight was restricted and she couldn’t see what was happening outside . But she could feel Gregory making a sudden shift in flight angle and was now soaring straight up into the sky .

Gu Mengmeng instinctively clutched at his feathers and called out in fright .

Gregory responded with bird cry of his own but Gu Mengmeng couldn’t understand what he was saying . Nevertheless, she felt a sense of calm descend over her . She guessed he must have said something along the lines of “Don’t be afraid, even if you fall, I will catch you” .

Gu Mengmeng chuckled . That’s right, the sky was Gregory’s domain . Nothing would happen to her even if she were to jump about .

Gradually calming down, Gu Mengmeng realized she had been clutching at Gregory a bit too forcefully, nearly tugging out his feathers by the root . Hence, she asked in a small voice, “Did it hurt? I didn’t mean to… I was frightened just now…”

Gregory didn’t answer her . He probably realized that she couldn’t understand him anyway and so saved his breath and just concentrated on surging upwards .

Gu Mengmeng had always been rather immune to air turbulence . Even when the pilot announced that the flight was experiencing heavy turbulence, Gu Mengmeng would not feel much of anything . She would just feel like she was sitting in a car riding through a bumpy road . But this time, she could clearly feel the strong air flow pressing down on her like an unbreakable wall of pressure . Even with Gregory’s feathers protecting her, she felt like she was being submerged under the ocean and nearly drowning to death .
