Chapter 765: I Asked You To Sit Down, Not To Kneel Down.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t stop Elvis from beating Carter up. She just continued to enjoy her delicious food.
After eating to her fill, she shouted out. “Hubby, time to clean up.”
Elvis threw down Carter and returned to Gu Mengmeng’s side. He kissed her oily lips before taking Lea’s newly forged stone pot to the sea to wash.
Only then did Carter crawl up in a wretched state. He walked to Gu Mengmeng’s side and bowed. “Great Messenger.”
Gu Mengmeng acted like she didn’t notice his battered body. “Sit down, tell me your story.”
Carter was shocked. He thought since Gu Mengmeng was brought over by Fei Rui, she must hate him as much as Fei Rui did. However, she did not express any animosity towards him during their time in the ocean, and even discreetly helped him to make Melinda stay. He was totally unable to read the intentions of this great Messenger.
Moreover, he thought Gu Mengmeng would ask him why was he seeking her out. But instead, she was asking him to tell her his story?
He had come bearing a bellyful of questions waiting to be answered, and not to do any storytelling...
Gu Mengmeng smacked her lips, as if relishing the lingering taste of meat. She swallowed her own saliva with satisfaction and spoke again. “I will stay here for ten days. Within this ten days, if you cannot settle Melinda, I have no choice but to bring the two siblings away with me.”
“Great Messenger.” Carter gave a low shout.
Lea smirked as he pulled Gu Mengmeng into his arms. He stared at Carter with slanted eyes full of scorn and provocation. His tone was calm but even icier than the moonlit ocean waters. “It might be simpler if we just kill you here and now. How long have I not tasted fish? Now that I think of it... I am getting a bit hungry.”
They were both third-level beasts, but Carter was no match for Lea on land.
If he wanted to flee back into the ocean...
Elvis was standing guard at the side and would never allow him the opportunity to escape.
Moreover, he had come to seek guidance and not to create trouble.
Carter kneeled before Gu Mengmeng and lowered his head. “Will the great Messenger please help me. Tell me how to get Melinda to accept me.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled as she leaned into Lea’s arms. “I asked you to sit down, not to kneel down. Kowtowing to me is useless if I don’t wish to help you. But if I want to help you, I will not trample upon your dignity. Understand?”
Carter nodded with uncertainty before settling into a seated position. He stared at Gu Mengmeng with shining eyes, as if hoping to see a blooming flower emerge from her face. A flower which he could pluck and present to Melinda to win her heart.
Gu Mengmeng sighed. “In order for me to help you, I must understand what is going on. Tell me the story of you and Melinda. I will think of a solution after that.”
Carter nodded. He was obviously a hardened man, but a gentle and bashful look crossed his face as he thought about the person he loved.
“During one of the territorial battles between the tribes, I suffered heavy injuries and nearly died. I was saved by Melinda, who just happened to be nearby on a leisurely stroll. I fell in love with her at first sight and was determined to have her. After recovering, I returned to the Giant Fish Tribe. The battle was still ongoing and I had to help my own people... but after the battle was over and I sought her out again, she no longer recognized me. She detested me, rejected me, avoided me... she is scared of me...”
