Chapter 1591: Did You Forget Who I Am?
After gaining permission, Gu Mengmeng started to instruct Elvis to pluck off the corals, then cut them into small pieces using his sharp claws, before kneading them slowly to form a round spherical shape.
Fei Rui had almost mastered the skill of spitting needles in water. Each time he spitted one out, it would pierce through each coral pearl accurately in the center and never deviated the slightest bit.
After the pearls had been polished, the problem of stringing them together arose.
On land, they could use vines to form a string, but this type of strings were unable to withstand rotting in seawater and would definitely break underwater.
If hair was used, it would be too thin. It would not look good, neither would it be strong enough.
Gu Mengmeng was in deep thoughts when Melinda gave her a better suggestion.
She mentioned that there was a type of shellfish underwater. Within the shell, the flesh was arranged in swirls. After the flesh had been removed, only the tendons remained. These tendons were more elastic and could withstand rotting from seawater. The only problem was that this type of shellfish fed on poison and would usually capture poisonous fishes as its source of food, so it contained great poison. Not only ordinary people, even a fifth-level mermaid like Carter would not go near it unless he had no choice.
If it was in the past…
It would be easy to settle this, as Gu Mengmeng had Snakel’s Tear of the Beast Deity on her and her body was immune to all poison and such a small shellfish would not have any effect on her.
But after Wang Xiaoxin left, the special buff on her had all been gone. Now, not only a poisonous shellfish, even a mosquito might even kill her!
For her to risk her life for an accessory…
Gu Mengmeng weighed the advantages and thought that it was not worth it.
Lea held Gu Mengmeng’s shoulders and laughed, “You have forgotten again… Don’t you have two almighty male partners?”
“But it’s poisonous…” Gu Mengmeng shook her head.
Lea laughed softly and said, “You, how many years has it been and you have still not gotten used to the way of living in Beast World? The female just has to give the orders. As for how the task is accomplished, it’s up to the males to think about it.”
Gu Mengmeng still shook her head and replied, “I don’t want to let my male partners risk their lives for an accessory. Forget it, let me think if there’s another replacement.”
Lea sighed and held her shoulders with both hands. He lowered his head to her eye level and looked into her eyes, while saying, “Did you forget? Who am I?”
“I am Lea…” Gu Mengmeng looked at Lea and responded in confusion.
“What else?” Lea smiled and continued asking.
Gu Mengmeng blinked her eyes and said, “And…?”
Lea sighed and responded, “Alright, a woman becomes a fool for three years after giving birth… Considering that your intelligence had dropped because of me, I shall remind you out of kindness. I am the most talented witch doctor in history and it’s my skill to find an antidote to poison.”
“Eh?” Gu Mengmeng tilted her head innocently and in doubt.
Lea smiled as he tapped her little nose and said, “If you don’t ever trust me when something happens, I would be really sad. As though… a hero has nowhere to unleash his abilities, so pathetic.”
Gu Mengmeng burst out in laughter and said, “How could it be so exaggerating? I merely could not bear for you and Elvis to be hurt.”
Lea kissed her forehead and said, “Even though your ‘can’t bear to’ is so heartwarming, but Mengmeng, I really need to show you my capabilities as I am eager for you to rely on me more…”
“Alright, then, witch doctor, may I trouble you to get this poisonous shellfish for me. But there’s something I have to say beforehand. You have to guarantee your personal safety and bring yourself back in a complete piece without getting hurt.”
