Chapter 519: Deception Is Truly Physical Labor

“Mighty Messenger, mighty messenger please make a fair judgement! This was the idea of Cole himself, he was the one who wanted to use this method to welcome you back to Sauder…” One of the tribe elders opened up, and instantly got the echoes of agreement from the crowd.
Gu Mengmeng gestured for everyone to stop, then looked at the tribe elder who spoke up, “Sauder doesn’t even have a witch doctor, yet it wants to welcome me? How would that attend to my needs?”
“This…” the tribe elder wanted to say something, but suddenly did not know what to reply.
Gu Mengmeng continued, “When religious authority is overturned, so will divine power. How dare you say you want to welcome me back with such a tribe?”
The tribe elders were so fooled by Gu Mengmeng they were stunned. Gu Mengmeng turned around and sat on a chair in the center of the altar, with Elvis and Lea by her left and right, respectively. Their full-on aura from their appearance made everyone so pressured their knees gave way, kneeling on the ground immediately.
Gu Mengmeng held her head and said, “The original tribe leader of Sauder, Cole, disobeyed God’s orders due to his own selfishness, framing Lea, the witch doctor’s successor. He used his authority to suppress the tribe, forcing fellow tribesmen to go against their conscience to help a rascal commit villainy. His crime is punishable and irredeemably evil. However, son of God, Lea, remains conscious, compassionate, and kneeled three days and nights to the beast deity to plead on Cole’s behalf. Out of the kindness of the heart of the beast deity, he was willing to free Cole from his death sentence, banishing him from the tribe and making him a stray beast forever. Nian Er and so son were also subjected to people, forcefully deceived by Cole against their own will, so we will be lenient and not investigate further. Are all of you satisfied by this judgement?”
So, all the blame will be taken by Cole alone, what is there not to be satisfied about?
The tribe elders took the lead to express their thousand thanks.
With a wave of her hand, Gu Mengmeng left. The rest of the things… could just be handed over for Lea to handle.
Upon her return to their tiny stone house, Gu Mengmeng leaned in Elvis’ arms, “Shit, deception is truly physical labor.”
Elvis felt his heart ache a little. He gently squeezed Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders, “The good thing is that the injustice towards Lea is undone, and he is now the son of God that Sauder can be most proud of again. In the future, he can help you do such things, so you won’t have to make yourself up and go on the stage every so often.”
Smiling, Gu Mengmeng shook her head, “I’m really sceptical about the average intellect of the snow fox tribe, weren’t my words just now… clearly full of plot holes? How could they even believe that?!”
Elvis laughed, “The words of the powerhouse is the truth. You are the messenger of the Beast Deity, so they would naturally be afraid to disobey you.”
Gu Mengmeng flipped around in Elvis’ arms, “Sometimes, I really feel that the previous messengers of the Beast Deity could have been a salesperson, how did she brainwash people such that the concept of the “messengers of the Beast Deity” and “Beast Deity” is so mysterious that even after thousands of years, people still fear these two titles. Take me for instance, no matter how you look, I’m just a weakling, what do they even fear about me?”
Elvis played with Gu Mengmeng’s hair softly, “You’re not good at fighting at close quarters, but you have Lea and I.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded as she suddenly understood the situation, “Ah, I get it. I’m just a hollow display, what they truly fear are you and Lea.”
“No.” Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s forehead, “What they fear is your religious authority, and the mighty Beast Deity behind you.”
Rather disheartened, Gu Mengmeng lowered her head, “What bullshit religious authority, if it was so useful, I would have directly saved my sons. Why would I have created so much trouble?”
Elvis comforted Gu Mengmeng, speaking softly in her ear, “Don’t worry, I will save them.”
