Chapter 836: Cole Must Have Been Behind This Right From The Start

“I have been very careful during our travels, and didn’t discover anyone tracking us. Carter and Melinda are in the ocean and it is impossible for them to have passed this news to Peter. Fei Rui is going back to Saint Nazaire via the water route and doesn’t have the time or motive to leak this information. But Peter knew I had gotten the Kiss of the Ocean and knew we would take this route back to Saint Nazaire… he intercepted us at just the right time too, moreover… he clearly knew he would never be strong enough to snatch it from me, but still came.”

Lea scooped up some hot water as he continued scrubbing Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders gently with a piece of hide. Crystal-clear water droplets flowed down Gu Mengmeng’s shoulder blades, creating an alluring trickling rhythm.

Lea looked like he was appreciating a work of art, and when he spoke, he sounded as if he was offering an art critique, deliberate and professional. “I am afraid that Cole must have been behind this right from the start.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded. She opened her mouth to catch a grape tossed over by Elvis.

Ooh, so sweet…” Gu Mengmeng sighed with satisfaction.

She had randomly thought up an excuse to get Elvis away so that she could speak privately with Natalie. But Elvis had really went to pluck some grapes, which Gu Mengmeng was enjoying immensely now.

She didn’t ask Elvis to go get some more, but…

Such matters, was there any need to ask him again?

Elvis had a constant desire to see Gu Mengmeng happy. He would do anything that could bring her the slightest bit of joy. And it was just plucking a few measly bunch of grapes anyway—even if she had said she wanted the stars from the sky, he would leap up on the spot to get them for her.

Gu Mengmeng licked her lips before continuing. “I also think so. He seems to be purposely luring us back to Sauder…”

“How so?” Elvis fed another grape to Gu Mengmeng.

Gu Mengmeng opened her mouth to accept it. The sweet juices filled her mouth, seeping into every crevice between her teeth. This sweetness was a complete bliss.

Gu Mengmeng narrowed her eyes contentedly. She swallowed the grape before answering, “At the start of the dry season, he told me that Sauder didn’t have a water shortage as it had a well, and asked me if I wanted to spend the dry season there. He must have been trying to lure me to Sauder? I ignored him then and didn’t think much of it. Isn’t it just a well? We can dig one ourselves…”

Elvis nodded with a chuckle. He didn’t tell her that in the entire Beast World, only she would say that digging a well was an insignificant matter. She didn’t know just how important a well was to the inhabitants of the Beast World.

There were only two wells in the entire Beast World. One was in Sauder, while the other was in Saint Nazaire.

The Fountain of Life bestowed by the Messenger of the Beast Deity to the Messengers tribe. This was one of the reasons why every tribe wished to have the Messenger of the Beast Deity for themselves.

Food supply for the winter and water source for the dry season—these were enough to drive every tribe in the whole Beast World crazy.

Something which Gu Mengmeng had casually taken out for all to share, was the same trump card which the former Messenger of the Beast Deity used to control the Beast World.

Gu Mengmeng didn’t know what Elvis was thinking, and just continued. “He then took Chixuan away, thinking that I would be worried and chase after them. Who knew that Fei Rui would arrive then and lead me to the sea to get the Kiss of the Ocean. So Cole made use of the present opportunities and used Peter to set the trap…”
