Sandy raised her head and groaned twice. Gu Mengmeng looked at Bode, asking, “What did Sandy say?”
Awkwardly, Bode furrowed his eyebrows, stammering, “Sandy said she liked you the most, and she wanted to stay with you no matter whether you are the messenger of the beast deity or not. Uh…”
Gu Mengmeng frowned impatiently, “Uh what? You’re a man and you can’t even speak properly, are you no less than a mynah? Not even swift with learning how to speak.”
Bode’s head sank even lower. He did not know why, he always felt less than Gu Mengmeng.
“Sandy said she was not able to protect the first hunt that she wanted to give you and asked you to not be angry.” Lea helped Bode translate the remainder of his sentence while sewing up Sandy’s wound.
Gu Mengmeng sighed as she held Sandy’s tiny face, with heartache written all over her face, “Ignore the…, how are you going to pay for making my important friend hurt? Hmm?”
Sandy shrunk her neck. Although she clearly had a tiny bear face, she could not hide her shy expressions. Whining a few times, she buried her face back in Gu Mengmeng’s knees.
Lea turned around to at Bode who was shocked, and he smiled, “You should be glad that Gu Mengmeng isn’t a male, otherwise… you may not even have enough rights to bee a pet beast.”
Bode nodded in understanding, then took a few steps forward and bowed to Gu Mengmeng, “Miss Messenger, thank you for not being a male.”
Gu Mengmeng sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Seeing how Lea had already stopped, she thought he probably already finished treating the wounds, so she told him, “Stop saying the useless stuff, go boil a pot of water for me. I want to clean the wound for Sandy.”
Bode replied, “Just leave these kinds of things to me.”
Gu Mengmeng smirked coldly, “I handed over Sandy, fine and dandy, for you to take care of, but this was what became of her? Do you still expect me to trust you?”
Bode pressed his lips together, not being able to say a word. He really did not understand, why did Gu Mengmeng hand Sandy over to him to take care of? He clearly fought for her when she became of age…
Lea pulled Bode aside, “Bring me to take a look at the other males in your family. Sandy is already this hurt herself, the rest are probably in a much worse state. Later, I will call some people to look after…”
Before Lea could finish, he suddenly turned around to look at Sandy, asking, “Sandy, can I let Mengmeng’s subordinates in?”
Sandy groaned softly, which most likely indicated an agreement.
Lea winked his left eye at Gu Mengmeng, then smiled and brought Bode out.
Gu Mengmeng understood him instantly, and whispered to Sandy’s ear, “Remember, other than “It hurts”, do not say anything else. Got it?”
Sandy did not understand what Gu Mengmeng meant, but she always listened to her. Hence, she nodded and expressed that she had understood.
Right as they finished speaking, Collin carried a huge stone pot and walked in. Setting the pot aside, he sat on the floor starting the fire. A reserved solemnity hung on his good-natured looking face, as if he was hiding his fury underneath. Gu Mengmeng chuckled, thinking about how Nina was actually not as useless as she thought. Her evil ways had indeed succeeded this time round.
After Collin had boiled the water, Gu Mengmeng made him take a piece of thin, dry beast skin for her as she tried to gently wipe off the dirt along Sandy’s injury while using an exaggerated tone to ask, “Sandy, does it still hurt?”
