Chapter 175: Starting To Understand

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor:

Lea did not reply and reached for a bunch of leaves tied with tree vines before handing it to Elvis. He then gave Elvis many dried ginger and said, “She always liked strange stuff, just like how she always treat stuff that people throw to the floor and not pick them up as babies.”

Elvis received the things from Lea and brought it closer to his nose to smell it. He realized that the bunch of tree leaves contained salt crystals. The way the package was being tied was identical to Gu Mengmeng’s method. That implied that Lea was there too when they were extracting the salt from the lake this morning but... he did not notice him at all.

At that moment, Elvis experienced the meaning behind what Lea had said, “The Beast World is extremely dangerous, one male is not enough to protect Gu Mengmeng.”. If the one who followed them today was not Lea, and instead others, then...

Elvis did not express his worry into words and just asked, “Should I tell her that these are from you?”

Lea shook his head, giving a bitter smile while saying, “Judging from her character, if she knows that these are from me, I’m afraid she will definitely reject them.”

Elvis remained silent. It could not be denied that Lea had a more thorough understanding regarding Gu Mengmeng. Many a time, he did not know what Gu Mengmeng was thinking in her mind and he could only do what she wanted. On the other hand, Lea was able to clearly understand her thoughts before she opened her mouth, perhaps, this was the reason why he lost to Lea in Xiaomeng’s heart.

Elvis nodded to show his consent. Then, he carried the stuff and prepared to enter the cave.

Lea lifted his hand with the intention to hold back Elvis. However, when the words were just going to leave his mouth, he realized that he was not in any position to repeatedly advise him.

Staring at his fingers that were stained with blood and dirt after digging ginger in the mountains, Lea gave a bitter smile and turned around to head towards the mountains.

As long as she was happy, even if his hands were rotten from the digging, so what?

Elvis returned into the cave and placed the things Lea brought over aside, together with the salt packets they extracted this morning. Then, he sat beside Gu Mengmeng and watch her string the fish up together with Sandy, chatting while laughing at the same time.

Bode brought a total of over 30 fish over and they were all cleaned thoroughly so stringing them up was not too tiring. After Gu Mengmeng was done with everything, she patted Elvis’s arm and asked, “In your territory, will wild animals steal our food?”

Elvis shook his head, “The pressure exerted from orcs is enough to frighten ordinary wild beasts. They won’t dare to step close to the tribe.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded her head and asked again, “Then, will other orcs steal our food?”

Elvis was taken aback as he ruffled Gu Mengmeng’s furry little head while smiling, “The males in Saint Nazaire will not steal the food of females. Males from other tribes will not be able to enter this cave to take your water shuttle unless they are attacking the entire Saint Nazaire. Don’t worry.”

Gu Mengmeng thought for a moment and agreed. Thus, she set her mind at rest and ordered Elvis to take the three tree vines stringed with fish to the outside and hang them under the shady part of the tree to dry them.

Nobody knew what Gu Mengmeng was planning to do. Sandy helped her with all the work for half a day and thought that this was a new game Gu Mengmeng had invented. After all, in this dull era, Sandy grew bored with playing the game of throwing a stone and picking it up again for the past few years. Compared to all those games, stringing the water shuttles was a lot more fun.
