Wabei roared, “I do not need your pity! I want to snatch it with my own ability!”

With that, Wabei attacked Gu Mengmeng. Gu Mengmeng only tilted her body slightly, before she stepped on Wabei’s back, stomping him onto the ground directly. She looked down at him, replying coldly, “You’re so annoying.”

Wabei’s eyes turned red, but not out of anger.

He rolled, transforming into a python and attacked Gu Mengmeng once again.

Elvis wanted to join the battle, but was obstructed by Gu Mengmeng’s gesture.

Gu Mengmeng looked at Elvis, “Snake owed it to him, so I will return on his behalf. Do not get yourself involved.”

Wabei’s fangs appeared right in front of Gu Mengmeng the moment she finished speaking. His mouth that was gaping open had Gu Mengmeng within it, and a simple closure of the mouth would cause Gu Mengmeng to be swallowed whole.

Then, the next second.

The giant python landed on the ground, accompanied by countless specks of dust.

The world was shaking, and everything was in a double image.

Like a lifeless strand of noodle, Wabei was pressed flat on the ground. Even Elvis was not spared either, for he too was pressed onto the ground, incapable of movement.

Gu Mengmeng took a deep breath, then withdrew her beast pressure. She walked to Wabei, kicking him, “How weak.”

Wabei slowly transformed back into human form, but did not stand up, only sitting cross-legged at his original spot while lowering his head, muttering, “Thanks.”

Gu Mengmeng kept her frozen face, also sitting beside Wabei, cross-legged, “I have found my sons, so I will be leaving… tomorrow. Although Snake never fancied this Snake King valley, this place exists only because of him, so I do not wish for it to be destroyed just like that. You… can guard here, right?”

Wabei looked to the side, and met with Gu Mengmeng’s eyes before immediately lowering his head, staring dead at his own shadow.

That was the only way for him to continue fantasizing about how the person who battled with him and was sitting beside him was Snake.

“Since I did not win you, the Snake King valley is still yours. Guard it if you will, otherwise… otherwise…”

Gu Mengmeng patted Wabei’s shoulder, “Actually… Snake really cared about you.”

Wabei stiffened his neck and turned to the other side, not looking at Gu Mengmeng, “Yea right! He only dreamt of his own release, what about mine? I’ve lived for 800 years and looked for him to fight for 800 years. He was my only goal and role model, now that he’s gone… Where should I head to in life?”

Gu Mengmeng sighed. She knew too, that Wabei did not want Snake King valley all that much. Just like Snake, he was too lonely, so battling had become a twisted way for them to express how they cared and interacted with each other. Although it had always been Snake who won Wabei, but Snake never intended to kill him. Furthermore, in the long thousand years without Gu Mengmeng… If there was anything that Snake could look forward to, it would perhaps be the occasional challenges from Wabei.

Gu Mengmeng stayed silent for a moment, before responding, “Sorry.”

Wabei grunted without a reply.

Gu Mengmeng felt that, some things should still be clarified, so she continued, “I know you and Ellie… but Snake killed Ellie for me. I am very glad that you could come today, because at least not everyone he cared for, died because of me.”

Wabei replied, “Why would I fear the consequences of the mere mating contract? Pfft, what a joke! You don’t have to say nice things on his behalf, what care or not… Gross!”
