Chapter 1324: Surrogate Pregnancy—Keep the Child And Kill The Mother.

Lea just smiled and replied, “I am the only favored son of the Deity for the past 300 years. You must have been referring to me, unless you meant that great witch doctor 300 years ago?”
Elder Eugene lowered his head respectfully. “Yes, I was referring to Ninth Highness.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned slightly with a “so I see” expression. “Then… why must it be Miranda who continues my Lea’s bloodline?”
Would a wily old fox like Eugene not understand Gu Mengmeng’s intentions? The main objective of smashing that chair had been to intimidate him. Making an example of Miranda was just a sidebar.
She had used that chair to warn him that if they dared to send Miranda to Lea’s bed, the fate of the entire snow fox tribe would end up like that shattered chair.
If someone else had made this threat, Eugene would have just sneered and said “go ahead”. But the one intimidating them was Gu Mengmeng herself, and she possessed the capability to fulfill her threat.
Not to mention that Wolf King partner of hers and that perversely powerful snake friend. Even Ninth Highness himself… ha, he would probably butcher the entire snow fox tribe without any hesitation at just one word from Gu Mengmeng.
This was meant to be a secret operation, but his moment of carelessness allowed Gu Mengmeng to overhear their plans. It was too late to deny things now. Eugene mulled things over for a bit before deciding to come clean with everything. He got down on his knees and kowtowed. “Great Messenger may not know but the Deity’s most favored son is the most precious bloodline of our snow fox tribe. He must have a successor. And Miranda is one of the female snow foxes with the purest bloodline. To maintain this noble legacy, we need to borrow Miranda’s tummy and have her bear a brood of little foxes for the Ninth Highness. Of course, the Messenger herself holds a high status and as your partner, Ninth Highness should not have a mistress on the outside. Hence, the moment Miranda helps his Highness continue his legacy, I will personally kill Miranda to prevent any future troubles.”
“Surrogate pregnancy—keep the child and kill the mother.” Gu Mengmeng shook her head with a chuckle. She didn’t display any signs of joy or anger. “The great Eugene is truly crafty.”
If this was during the ancient times, he would be a high-ranking eunuch? Someone along the lines of Lao Ai or Zhao Gao.
“This is all so the snow fox tribe can flourish and continue serving the Great Messenger. I hope you will understand and forgive us.”
“What if I refuse?” Gu Mengmeng gave a faint smile. “I have always been a petty person. What makes you think I can tolerate another female bearing children for my male?”
“Miranda will be killed the moment those children are born. She will not pose any threat to the Great Messenger. And Ninth Highness holds such a deep love for you that his affections would not be swayed by the existence of those children…”
Gu Mengmeng smirked. “There are two things which Elder Eugene has gotten wrong. Number one, it doesn’t matter whether Miranda is dead or alive. She will never be a threat to me. Number two, you have absolutely no say in whatever my male does. Just because I address you as Elder, do you really think you can rely on your seniority to get your way in things?”
Gu Mengmeng tossed a sweeping glance at the kneeling elders. She said pointedly, “Let me put this out in the open right now. I have many eccentricities. I am vengeful and a clean freak. Especially for my men, whoever dares to lay a single paw on them, I promise they will rue the day they were born.”
The elders exchanged looks before speaking, “Since Great Messenger is unwilling to let Ninth Highness mate with other females. Would the Great Messenger please bear a brood of little foxes for him?”
