That night of revelry made Saint Nazaire seem like it had been overwhelmed with excitement for a night.
Other than Gu Mengmeng, Collin had the most limelight. Although he only stood behind Gu Mengmeng, doing some tiring manual labour, with his only lines being that sentence when he proposed to Sandy, yet it created a stir and sensation.
In the depths of the night, Ian leaned against the tree, quietly looking down at the celebration below with an indifferent expression.
Lea sat beside him and delivered a piece of meat, “Do you mind not letting you guys show yourselves?”
Ian did not take the food that Lea had delivered him. Instead, he locked his eyes on the shy girl who was carried in the arms of the leader of the tribe. From the moment that small girl appeared, she had secured everyone’s attention. It was as if she had some kind of magical powers that made others incapable of resistance.
“Is she… really the messenger of the beast deity?” Ian asked sceptically, while sounding like he was muttering to himself.
Lea chuckled, “Has she not proven her identity, even after she let your tribe survive the winter?”
Ian did not say a word, what is the point of answering? Food, song and… fire.
Retracting his gaze, Ian side-eyed Lea, “Is this the reason why you were so confident back then?”
Lea nodded, “Aren’t the Birds tribe the ones who yearn for the beast deity the most? The messenger has descended, which means the entire Birds tribe of the beast world will flock after her. Once her identity is revealed, why would there be any fear that nobody would come seek refuge?”
Ian nodded, agreeing with Lea’s point. The tribe that flew the most freely in the sky, yearned to get close to the beast deity the most.
“Since it is so, then why choose us? After all, we are only left with 32 people in our tribe.”
Lea smiled, his gaze was afar, looking at the tiny person who was throwing tantrums in Elvis’ arms, with love in his eyes, “She is rather stubborn, hence is the most unsettling factor in my layout. To cope with her whims, I have to have more chips in my hands to keep her safe, and let her be as stubborn as she wants.”
Ian was stunned, then proceeded to cackle, “Seems like snow foxes have sentiment too. I thought you guys were different from normal orcs, and would not change for females.”
“Snow fox tribe?” Lea brooded in that title, then chuckled. “The only useful thing the tribe left for me, is probably this tail.”
With that, Lea did not care about Ian any further proceeding to transform into a fox and pranced off into the darkness.
The target was crisp and clear.
Ian stood in his original position, with the grilled meat Lea had left behind in his hands as he watched the white figure speed through the darkness back to the campfire, wagging his big tail asking for love in front of that tiny female without any shame.
His lips curved upwards, “Messenger of the Beast Deity… Gu Mengmeng.”
Three days later, Gu Mengmeng was all packed and ready to set off to the beauty pageant.
She originally wanted to bring Sandy along, but her wounds had not fully healed yet. Furthermore, her and Collin were newlyweds, so she did not want to bring them apart, only smiling while rubbing the black bear print mark on Sandy’s chest, warning her to take care of herself and not to make any big movements that could tear up her wound. Since Lea would not be around, nobody else would be able to help her.
Embarrassed and red-faced, Sandy wiggled her body and acted cute in Gu Mengmeng’s arms for a while. Eventually, Collin came over and carried Sandy up, saying seriously, “Gu Mengmeng has things to do, don’t pester her and delay her time.” before pulling Sandy away from Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng saw how Sandy clearly looked at her with a reluctant expression, yet had her arms wrapped firmly around Collin’s neck, and could not help but give Collin a thumbs up, “Great, Collin. What a man!”
