Chapter 1427: He Is Not My Man
“It can’t be that bad...” Gu Mengmeng grimaced.
The Beast Deity waved her over and Gu Mengmeng obediently went to his side. He pulled Gu Mengmeng to sit on the double bench and asked, “Do you know how many partners the previous Messenger of the Beast Deity had?”
Gu Mengmeng tried to recall and said, “I heard she had over a hundred. That her family was so big they could form an entire tribe by themselves.”
The Beast Deity chuckled. “172.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head in astonishment. She was dumbstruck.
The Beast Deity continued. “So guess how many mating marks did she have on her body?”
Gu Mengmeng instinctively answered, “172.”
The Beast Deity rapped Gu Mengmeng’s head with a smile and pointed at her collarbone. “172 marks of this size? Is there enough space on the body?”
Gu Mengmeng glanced down and agreed. “So...”
The Beast Deity displayed four fingers. “Only four.”
“Only four?” Gu Mengmeng was stunned.
How to put it. People in the present world held a different set of morals and beliefs. Gu Mengmeng was already extremely embarrassed at having two partners, and always felt like she was not doing well by either of them. As a result, she was never able to pull her weight in front of Elvis and Lea. Whenever there was any problem, she would usually act cute and coquettish, and whine her way through. She seldom exhibited the forbidding dominance of a female in the Beast World.
But just now, she had blurted out the word “only” as the initial number provided by the Beast Deity was just way too large.
172 partners but just four marks. What kind of concept was that? Did the remaining 168 partners remain celibate for life?
The Beast Deity seemed to have seen through Gu Mengmeng’s thoughts. “Females hold such exalted positions in the Beast World solely due to the precedence set down by Wang Xiaoxin. Males cannot go against the wishes of a female and cannot prevent them from accepting new partners. Even after becoming her partner, he cannot force her to mate. In the entire family, the female holds absolute authority. If a male wishes for the chance to mate and propagate, his only way is to treat the female as best as he can. This practice has been passed down for a thousand years, resulting in the current high status of females. You and Wang Xiaoxin hold the same position of power so your domestic situation will directly affect the family structure norm of the entire Beast World.”
“But...” Gu Mengmeng was in a dilemma. She knew she had a responsibility due to her position of power. But 172 partners... just thinking about that made her head spin. Gu Mengmeng felt that with her current brain cells, she might not even remember the names of her own “partners”.
The Beast Deity shook his head as he interrupted Gu Mengmeng. “I am not saying that you have no choice but to accept him. Like Auretin, you can also just give him a “guardian beast” status.”
“Wait a minute!” Gu Mengmeng looked shocked. “Auretin just comes over to share our meals. He is not my man.”
The Beast Deity chuckled. “He is.”
“Damn!” Gu Mengmeng was very flustered. “No... I didn’t... that...”
Elvis gave Gu Mengmeng’s waist a slight squeeze. “He is our family’s guardian beast. As the two of you have no intention of being partners, Lea and I didn’t say anything. But apart from yourself, everyone else—including Auretin, Lea and I—have all tacitly acknowledged that he is part of our family.”
“Huh?!” Gu Mengmeng was thunderstruck.
Elvis gave a bitter smile. “Apart from his desired female or his own family members, a male in the Beast World would never share his food with anyone else.”
