Chapter 783: New Tribal Chief

“Why would he be angry?” Gu Mengmeng was nonplussed.

Fei Rui lowered his head. “We obviously didn’t receive the great Beast Deity’s blessings. To use such a name would be disrespectful to him.”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled. “Who said you are not recipients of the Beast Deity’s blessings?”

“Ah?” Fei Rui looked up at Gu Mengmeng with a foolish expression. His sparkling eyes shone with hope.

Gu Mengmeng pulled Melinda over and pecked her on the forehead. It was just like how the Beast Deity kissed her own forehead during her dream. It carried a sense of blessing. “You all staked your lives in order to watch over the Beast Deity’s daughter. How could he not bless you guys?”

Melinda blushed all the way down to her neck from Gu Mengmeng’s kiss. It had nothing to do with love, hate, loathing or desire. It was just from excitement, as if you were suddenly invited to meet with the nation’s president, who not only treated you with intimate familiarity, but even shook your hand and said “Child, you did very well in the exams and I congratulate you on behalf of the entire country.” You would have blushed if it were you.

Gu Mengmeng looked at Fei Rui and Carter again. “What do the two of think? If you don’t like that name, I can find another one. I have no opinion. After all, this is your own tribe and you hold the right to name it.”

Fei Rui and Carter exchanged a look before bowing towards Gu Mengmeng. “The Bridges Tribe would forever follow the Great Messenger. We will be your most loyal servants in the ocean.”

Actually…

Gu Mengmeng had no intention of recruiting any followers.

She might have liked a senior from the swimming club, but was not familiar with the act of swimming itself.

Now that they had retrieved the Kiss of the Ocean, she did not expect to return to the seaside again.

Nevertheless, after her departure, this tiny tribe would definitely have a hard life in the ocean. If her name could bring some protection to them, so be it.

She nodded in acceptance of the Bridges Tribe’s offering of loyalty.

“Fei Rui was the prince of his original tribe and should be the chief of this new one.” Carter spoke up first. His determined eyes were filled with love as he held Melinda’s small hand. He was giving his everything to Melinda and just wanted to stay by her side. He didn’t have any inclination to bother about any other matters.

Fei Rui shook his head. “The capabilities of the chief determines the standing of the tribe. I am unable to hold up the name of the Bridges Tribe. You should be the tribal chief. Although I don’t like you, I cannot deny your abilities. Moreover… my sister is a princess and her first partner cannot be someone with no standing.”

Carter wanted to say something but Fei Rui laughed and continued. “In addition, after you become partners, I want to follow the Great Messenger back to Saint Nazaire.”

Everyone was dumbstruck by his announcement.

Elvis pulled Gu Mengmeng back into his arms and unleashed a powerful pressure until everyone was nearly kneeling on the ground. His face had turned black and he looked like he wanted to tear Fei Rui to bits. “What are you intending to do?”

Fei Rui was trembling from fear. His clear eyes filled with grievance and looked like he was about to cry. “I… I want to learn new skills from the Great Messenger… and bring those miraculous abilities back to the ocean…”
