Gu Mengmeng nestled in Lea’s arms to watch the fight, shouting at Elvis to give Wabei a good pounding at one point, before calling for Wabei to sweep Elvis off his feet at another. She was completely not worried, and acted like she was watching a live, wilderness version of WTO.

Looking at her happy manner, it didn’t look like anything had happened between Wabei and her.

Such that Elvis and Wabei’s fight ended up like an exhibition match. It didn’t matter who won or lost, as long as it was exciting.

Gu Mengmeng cheered as she watched, while Elvis and Wabei ended up smiling as they fought.

The two of them silently agreed to hold back. They still dealt injurious blows to each other, but not fatal ones.

When they finally walked towards Gu Mengmeng, it was as if the two of them had not been at each others throats at all.

Lea handed Gu Mengmeng over to Elvis before heading off to prepare their meal.

Wabei took a deep breath. “I am returning to the Snake King valley.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Mmm.”

Wabei looked in all seriousness at Gu Mengmeng. “It will be winter after the dry season. I can only leave the Snake King valley next year during the monsoon season. So you better behave yourself this winter period, don’t go looking for trouble. If someone provokes you, just bear with it… when the monsoon season arrives next year, I will go with you to kill him.”

A parting between friends would always make one feel sad.

They didn’t feel that way previously. This trip to the deep ocean gave them the chance to know each other and get used to each other’s irritating ways. One could not help feeling a sense of reluctance at having to part ways now.

Actually, it was just one winter and not some long-term farewell. But one just felt a little depressed.

Gu Mengmeng sniffed and composed her emotions. She gave a guileless smile and smacked Wabei’s shoulder with a laugh. “No way. I am so powerful now. If anyone bullies me, I will beat him up on the spot. Wait for you… tsk, I can’t afford to wait.”

Wabei also laughed. “What kind of friend are you. Doing fun and exciting things without waiting for me? Having fought only against Snakel for 800 years, I finally realized there is something such as a tag-team battle, and you still refuse to wait for me!”

Gu Mengmeng laughed out loud. She rested one arm on Wabei’s shoulder and smiled roguishly. “Don’t worry, when the monsoon season arrives next year and you feel bored—I will let Elvis fight with you. If not, there is still me… I promise to smack you into ecstasy. I will beat you until your own mother can’t recognize you.”

Wabei leaped up and pointed at Gu Mengmeng’s nose. “I will go back to cultivate my powers. Next year when the monsoon season arrives, let’s see who will beat who into ecstasy!”

Gu Mengmeng raised one eyebrow. “Sure. Cultivate well. Otherwise I might feel dissatisfied with next year’s fight.”

Wabei straightened himself. “You too.”

With that, Wabei walked right out of the cave without turning back. He disappeared from Gu Mengmeng’s view.

Gu Mengmeng thought she might have wept a tear or two, but she didn’t.

Perhaps Snakel’s memories had influenced her emotions? This was the first time Gu Mengmeng experienced a farewell between men. So this was how it felt like.

Deep feelings but without hurt. If there was wine, they would have toasted each other.

After taking a deep breath, Gu Mengmeng turned to look at Elvis. “Where did you and Lea go just now? Did something happen in the tribe?”
