Chapter 938: Am I Not Even Worth A Piece Of Fruit?

Gu Mengmeng went to see Sandy before she left.
Sandy’s tummy was growing bigger by the day and it had become very inconvenient for her to move about.
Gu Mengmeng wanted to set off only after Sandy gave birth, but it would be the drought season by then. To Wabei, any action then would be a torture and he would need to return to the Snake King valley to convalesce.
Although she didn’t really need a bodyguard with her current abilities. No one would be able to do her any harm now no matter how hard they tried.
But not only did she feel a sense of friendship towards Wabei, she also felt some guilt.
After all, she had taken away the one important person whom he had relied on for the past 800 years. Hence, it was her responsibility to spice up his boring life.
Not only that, Gu Mengmeng had already decided never to leave her three little ones behind. Thinking of the challenges they had faced at the bottom of the sea, Gu Mengmeng felt it was safer to have Wabei around. After all, Elvis would be sure to protect her first if anything happened. By then, the three young ones would be in a vulnerable position and easily harmed. So having Wabei around would fill that gap.
Moreover, Cole had already promised not to make trouble for Sandy again. So Gu Mengmeng decided not to wait for Sandy to give birth, but to go seek the Soul of the Forest now. It would be even better if she could complete the mission quickly and hurry back in time for the birth.
Sandy cried as she clung onto Gu Mengmeng the moment she heard she was leaving.
Gu Mengmeng knew pregnant women tend to be overly emotional, and so patiently coaxed Sandy for a long time. In the end, she played her trump card and promised to bring back some delicious fruit for her. Only then did the greedy little Sandy blink her brightened eyes, and pushed Gu Mengmeng out the door. “Hurry up. Leave now so that you can come back soon.”
Gu Mengmeng was carried out of Sauder in Elvis’ arms. She shook her head in exasperation. “Eh, I feel rather sad.”
Elvis stared at her grinning face, completely unable to detect any sign of sadness. But he dutifully asked, “Mmm?”
Gu Mengmeng replied, “Sandy is my best friend but I rank even lower than a piece of fruit in her eyes… at first, she hugged me so tightly and refused to let go, but the moment she heard there was fruit to eat, she immediately pushed me out… I am starting to doubt my value now. Am I not even worth a piece of fruit?”
Elvis chuckled, expressing his total lack of understanding on the friendship matters between females.
And he was unwilling to waste time to try and understand what some other female was thinking. He just kissed Gu Mengmeng’s head. “You are the most valuable. Nothing is comparable to you.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled sweetly as she snuggled into Elvis’ embrace.
Wabei cleared his throat before hustling over. He said with some awkwardness, “Eh, have you been to visit your father lately? Did you ask about my matter?”
Gu Mengmeng knew Wabei was asking about sending him over to Snakel’s side, so she nodded. “Mmm, I asked him again after we parted ways that time. But my father continues to insist that he cannot say. It is not the right time yet. You have to continue waiting. Anyway, I will keep your matter in mind, and will ask my father every time I visit him.”
Wabei pouted and looked at Gu Mengmeng silently for a long time. “You are unfilial.”
“Huh?” Gu Mengmeng stared at Wabei in confusion. She couldn’t understand how he arrived at that conclusion.
Wabei said, “You spent the entire winter in the cave doing nothing, and only visited your father once. Is that unfilial or what?”
