Chapter 761

The shock that Carter experienced when he saw that smack Gu Mengmeng gave Wabei, was shattered by Fei Rui’s appearance.

The moment he saw Fei Rui, Carter’s eyes filled with a supercilious disdain. Curling the corners of his lips, he said in an arrogant tone. “Take her back if you can.”

Gu Mengmeng patted Fei Rui, who was obviously scared but still wanted to charge forward. She smiled at him comfortingly.

Fei Rui was a good kid. His thinking was still immature and his abilities lacking—but looking at him still trying to protect Gu Mengmeng despite his fear, this was enough to make Gu Mengmeng want to help him.

Not for the Kiss of the Ocean and not for any other reason. Just because Gu Mengmeng felt Fei Rui was a decent person.

Fei Rui’s lips were pressed into a straight line. He was still somewhat hesitant but calmed down.

On one hand, he believed in Gu Mengmeng’s capabilities. But on the other hand, he was very worried about her getting hurt, after all… she was a female.

With such thoughts running through his head, he kept his eyes on Gu Mengmeng, using every fiber of his body to guard against Carter.

Gu Mengmeng chuckled at his anxious face, but didn’t say anything more.

Taking a couple steps forward, she surveyed Carter.

He had a sturdy physique and a masculine face. If he had a trident in hand, he would look exactly like Poseidon, god of the sea.

From some angles, his demeanor was somewhat similar to Elvis. He radiated an aura that said “stay away”. Moreover, she was very familiar with the way he was looking at her. This was because this was how Elvis and Lea stared at others apart from herself—with a measure of aloofness and guardedness.

Gu Mengmeng crossed her hands behind her back and gazed at Carter. Her petite body possessed major power. The air of nobility cultivated by Snake over a thousand years was not something that someone like Carter could compare against.

That was why if Gu Mengmeng wanted to posture, unless Snake was resurrected, no one else in the Beast World could posture better than her.

With a light laugh traced with derision, she commented in a languid manner, “So, are the ocean tribes no longer under the purview of the Beast Deity?”

Carter was taken aback. He frowned, as if he didn’t understand her meaning.

Wabei had already stood back up after being smacked to the side by Gu Mengmeng. Since there was an outsider around, he had to play his own part well. They could not afford to lose face in front of others.

As such, Wabei stared coldly at Wabei without a word.

Meanwhile, Fei Rui was standing on the other side of Gu Mengmeng. Although he was still a bit scared, he spoke out. “This is the Messenger of the Beast Deity, Gu Mengmeng. Carter, as arrogant as you are, you should know your limits.”

Messenger of the Beast Deity….?

Carter lowered his eyes and made some chewing motions, as if trying to size up the situation.

Clenching his fists tightly by his sides, he paused for a moment before lowering his head and greeting politely. “It is my honor to meet the Messenger of the Beast Deity.”

Gu Mengmeng chuckled and rested one arm on Fei Rui as she leaned against Wabei’s shoulder. She looked very much like wayward elder used to getting her own way. With another light laugh, she said, “No need for pleasantries. I am here to see… eh, what’s your sister’s name?”

Fei Rui whispered in Gu Mengmeng’s ear. “Melinda.”

Gu Mengmeng continued. “Yeah, right. I am here to see Melinda. Carter, make it happen.”

Carter tightened his fists with the intention of stopping her. But Gu Mengmeng and Wabei just strolled past him without waiting for his response.
