“Ooh…” Gu Mengmeng made a groaning noise, and only felt as if her head so much it could split open .

“Xiao Meng . ” A warm hug immediately encapsulated Gu Mengmeng, then Gu Mengmeng heard a deafening heartbeat slowly calming down, and the sigh that followed .

Gu Mengmeng opened her eyes slowly adjusting to the light and raised her hand, feeling a little out of sorts .

A dreamland…

So that was what it meant .

“Elvis, let go of me . ” Gu Mengmeng’s voice was so tranquil it made one terrified .

Elvis’ body stiffened, but still slowly released his hands .

She deserved… to be angry .

He did not fulfill his responsibility to protect her, despite being her first partner .

Gu Mengmeng turned and sat up, looking at her three sons who were huddled in a corner of the wall, sound asleep .

Seeing the exhaustion on their faces, they must have been extremely tired .

Lifting the beast skin that originally covered her body, Gu Mengmeng gently used it to cover her three sons, then walked out without a word .

Elvis followed behind her silently, and silence was brewing in the air .

“Do you know… what it is like to fall in love with yourself?” Gu Mengmeng’s gaze landed on the huge, flat rock at the entrance of the cave, where a piece of clothing made from the shedded snake skin was being bathed in the sun .

Elvis did not say anything, only silently looking at the green snake that had its mouth gaped open to reveal its fangs that was on the back of Gu Mengmeng’s neck .

Gu Mengmeng sat on the rock, gazing at the clothing made from shedded snake skin while in a trance .

The person who would reach his hand out and call her “Twomeng”, has now become a set of clothing .

“I thought, I was just an interesting presence in his long life . I had never expected, that I would be the only color, in the thousand years of his life . ” Gu Mengmeng lowered her head, smiling bitterly, “He was truly resolute, using such a method for me to really feel how much he cared and persisted for me . ”

Gu Mengmeng did not turn around, her gaze still fixated on the snake skin, her voice soft without much sorrow, but made one’s heart ache even more, “Do you know what his last sentence to me?”

Elvis stood behind Gu Mengmeng, not even having the courage to reply .

If it weren’t for him being too weak…

If it weren’t for him being too weak…

“He said, seemed like one would really get their retribution for teasing a married woman… It is like cutting one’s chest open to take their heart out . ” Gu Mengmeng did not cry, instead, she smiled, “Then, he said thank you to me, he said… thank you for letting me live . He died for me, but thanked me for letting him live? What twisted logic was that… But now, I can’t even blame him . ”

Gu Mengmeng grasped tightly at her chest, “What now? I finally felt deeply the amount of love he had for me, but we barely interacted for a month . In the past month, I never thought what he felt for me was love… I am Gu Mengmeng, I feel I should be guilty and cry . However, Snake has passed on all his memories to me . In his memories, the past month has been way more blissful than the past thousands of years of his life . His feelings told me, that if I lived on, he would be very happy . So I want to smile, and now I can’t even tell if I am Gu Mengmeng or Snake . Am I a human or a snake, should I cry or laugh?”

Elvis went forward, gently hugging Gu Mengmeng in his arms, speaking with deep remorse, “Sorry, for not protecting you . I… was too weak . ”
