Chapter 1194: 1194

Since they were going to take off soon, Auretin obtained special permission to spend the night outside Gu Mengmeng’s cave . He was already used to the life of a wanderer and so was completely fine to sleep somewhere other than his own cave . The temptation of being able to eat every single meal prepared by Lea was also exceptionally great, and so he immediately agreed .

Lea called Barete and Joshua to a spot near the cave to go through all the necessary things to look out for this coming year . After all, no one knew how long Gu Mengmeng would be gone for this trip .

Whether it was water rationing during the drought season, or stockpiling food and warding off raiders during the rainy season—all these matters required a flexible approach and good communication .

In addition…

There should be a wave a stray beast attacks after they leave .

Lea trusted Barete but Joshua was still under probation . So Lea did not intend to let Joshua know that Chixuan is the young master of the stray beasts . As a result, he just said that Gu Mengmeng had arranged for the females in the tribe to bring their babies up to the highest peak in Saint Nazaire . Up there, they would absorb the first rays of the sun for three consecutive days, as part of the blessings from the Beast Deity .

However, Maya was carrying a precious female fetus and the Great Messenger had specially instructed her to rest well . So there was no need for Maya to go on this blessings trip .

Barete had been with Lea even longer than Gu Mengmeng had . He naturally understood what that sing-song smile on Lea’s face meant .

But why the special treatment for Maya? Ha, it looked like they must have something particular arranged for Maya .

After all, apart from Gu Mengmeng, Lea had never bothered about the lives and deaths of the other females .

“I understand,” Barete replied simply .

Lea patted Barete on the shoulder . “Don’t forget, your life now belongs to my Mengmeng . Unless she agrees, you cannot die . ”

“Mmm . ” Barete grunted his reassurance .

Joshua clenched his fists . His gaze drifted over to Gu Mengmeng, who was sitting nearby sunbathing . But he didn’t have the courage to go over and greet her . Instead, he asked Lea in a soft voice, “This trip… when are you all coming back?”

Lea pretended to ponder for a moment before suddenly smiling . “I don’t know . Our trips have always depended on Mengmeng’s mood . Whether she wants to ascend to the skies or dive into the ocean—we will do whatever she wants to do, and our destination is always wherever she feels like going . I never ask, but only follow . ”

“That’s right… she is the Messenger of the Beast Deity . Of course… of course…”

“You seem to be mistaken . ” Lea gently tapped his own lips . “We indulge her not because she is the Messenger of the Beast Deity, but because she is the female of Elvis and I . ”

With that, Lea waved his tail and walked away without even a backward glance .

Joshua looked on as Lea stepped into the warm radiance that was Gu Mengmeng’s presence . He could only silently clench his fists .

One day, he would also possess the ability to fulfill her every need and desire . Only then would he have the right to be like Lea—to be able to walk towards her and say with a smile: “Mengmeng, I am back…”

Gu Mengmeng opened her arms wide gesturing for a hug . Lea immediately drew her into his embrace to let her snuggle against his chest like a kitten .

Elvis said he would be back a bit later, but in reality, he didn’t return at all that night .

By the time Gu Mengmeng saw Elvis and Wabei again, it was already evening time on the second day .
