Chapter 589: 589

Gu Mengmeng responded, “Because he wanted to protect me from behind to prevent any sneak attacks . He said… he wanted to be the pair of open eyes on my back . ”

Gu Mengmeng side-eyed Elvis, asking, “Funny, isn’t it? He’s dead, yet talking about protection… It’s just a mark, what can it protect…”

Elvis remained silent for a moment, then stretched out his right hand, transforming it into a wolf claw before suddenly attacking the back of Gu Mengmeng’s head .

“Ah…!” With a loud shrill of pain, Elvis fell onto the ground, with black venom all over his claw . His skin instantly started to rot .

Gu Mengmeng turned around, her eyebrows slightly furrowed . She flipped and jumped down, grabbing Elvis’ arm and putting it beside her mouth, gently licking the venom on it .

Gu Mengmeng’s tiny tongue easily cleaned up the venom, simultaneously forming a thin piece of transparent film on Elvis’ hand .

Gu Mengmeng watched Elvis silently, without a word .

However, Elvis smiled, “Look, although it is just a mark… but he can still protect you from behind . ”

Gu Mengmeng sighed, “Don’t do such silly things to punish yourself, you should not feel apologetic to me, for you have done enough . ”

Elvis’ eyes sagged, replying in low spirits, “But I did not manage to protect you . ”

Gu Mengmeng responded, “It was not your fault . After all… it was the result of my stubbornness . ”

Elvis sat up straight, hugging Gu Mengmeng back into his arms again, “I swear, I will become stronger, even stronger, and will never let you get hurt again . ”

Gu Mengmeng smiled bitterly, “I have now… inherited Snake’s everything… including his fighting skills and memories . Looking at the Beast World as a whole, I fear that no one else can hurt me now . ”

Startled, Elvis replied, “You mean…”

Gu Mengmeng nodded, touching the mark at the back of her neck once again, “Snake and I have become a single entity, he gave me his everything, very… thoroughly . ”

Elvis smiled bitterly, “This… should be a good thing . You won’t have to worry about anyone plotting against you in future . You… won’t need me anymore either . ”

Gu Mengmeng gently hugged Elvis back, pressing her lips, “I aged a thousand years overnight, and am still not used to many things . But one thing is for sure, you are my family, and I will need you at any time . ”

Elvis did not say a word, only gently returning Gu Mengmeng’s hug .

Both of them did not say anything more .

A deafening sound came travelling from afar, and was coming closer .

Gu Mengmeng stood up, turning around to welcome it .

A huge python appeared before Gu Mengmeng, his head that was as big as the head of a train poked at the tip of Gu Mengmeng’s nose . She would have screamed before, but now… she felt nothing, looking up at it, speaking calmly, “Haven’t I told you, I hate snakes, hate shit, hate snakes that look like shit . ”

With that, Gu Mengmeng slapped the snake on its head, before the train head-like head smacked the ground, caving about half a metre into the ground .

Wabei transformed into human form, standing up and rubbed his chin, pointing at Gu Mengmeng’s nose, “Snake, I want to challenge you!”

Gu Mengmeng squinted her eyes, laughing coldly, “You can’t win me . ”

Wabei was angered, as if he was trying his hardest to hold back some emotions, roaring, “I don’t care, I just want to challenge you . I want to defeat you, then replace you as the owner of the Snake King valley . ”

Gu Mengmeng acknowledged, then said “Fine, you are now the owner of the Snake King valley . ”
