Chapter 762: Mermaid Princess Melinda

Wabei knocked into Carter as he brushed passed, causing Carter to stagger pathetically . Nevertheless, Carter was helpless against Wabei . He just clenched his fists tightly and trailed behind them .

This place used to belong to the Mermaid Tribe, so Fei Rui was very familiar with the area . He easily located his sister’s original residence .

Pink coral cordoned off an area, within which a massive shell laid opened . It was filled with fresh seaweed neatly arranged, while a pillow made from a smaller clam laid on one end . Beside it were some food items which Gu Mengmeng had never seen before . They were perhaps some type of underwater fruits and vegetables?

A teenage girl sat kneeling on the floor, with her upper body leaning over the seaweed upon the shell bed . She had buried her face in her arms, refusing to look up . Her wavy golden hair was not showy at all, but instead looked refined . Gu Mengmeng usually didn’t find blond girls sophisticated . Even those golden-haired European film goddesses, Gu Mengmeng would at most say they had a certain presence . She felt that only black-haired Chinese women had that air of elegance .

But somehow, even though it was just a back view—for the first time in her life, Gu Mengmeng felt that a blond girl possessed that very air of elegance .

She laid there unmoving, looking like the injured swan in the ballet Swan Lake . She held traces of despondency and helplessness, but still possessing a determined strength .

Even before seeing her face, Gu Mengmeng felt her heart ache for this girl .

“Melinda . ” Fei Rui called out in agitation .

The girl froze, before suddenly turning around . A pair of eyes identical to Fei Rui’s was drenched in tears . Nonetheless, a joyful smile blossomed across her lips .

“Brother . ” The girl stood up even though her legs had already gone numb . She limped towards Fei Rui with awkward determination .

At the same time, Fei Rui was also charging towards her . He embraced his little sister tightly in his arms, gently and patiently comforting her .

Gu Mengmeng looked at Carter, whose eyes were filled with complicated emotions . Forbearance? Sadness? Frustration? Or perhaps it was pain… but no anger at all .

This was not the look a criminal ought to have .

Gu Mengmeng was not a stranger to such a look . Elvis and Lea looked like that all the time when they were gazing at her .

“You resent this?” Gu Mengmeng asked Carter .

Carter clenched his jaws . “Unless the great Messenger remains in the ocean to protect the Mermaid Tribe, otherwise…”

“You still want to use the excuse of having your treasure stolen to imprison this young lady?” Looking at him from the corner of her eye, Gu Mengmeng observed Carter’s shocked expression . This fellow must have thought he was such a good actor that no one would guess the truth . Gu Mengmeng smiled smugly . She then said casually, “Doing so will only drive her against you . If you are forever the enemy in her eyes…”

Carter’s pupils dilated at Gu Mengmeng’s words . He didn’t even react so strongly when he saw Wabei .

“As expected… nothing can escape the Messenger of the Beast Deity’s eyes . ” Carter relaxed his fists but his brows remained tightly knitted . He looked on as Melinda cried like a baby in Fei Rui’s arms . For a long time, she had not expressed any kind of emotion but maintained a poker face . Her miserable tears pounded against his heart but he didn’t even have the right to offer her a word of consolation .
