Chapter 48: Hit Me Back If You Can!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“I… I am a female… You can’t hit me.” Nina protested with a trembling voice, she felt indignant despite being scared.
Feeling ridiculous, Gu Mengmeng snorted coldly and raised her fist towards Nina’s face. Nina jumped back in shock and curled up in a ball, in a miserable yet funny state.
But Gu Mengmeng’s fist stopped a finger away from Nina’s nose and she pointed at herself with her thumb. She laughed confidently and mockingly, “I am going to beat you up anyway, hit me back if you can!”
“You… you are so barbaric!” Seeing Gu Mengmeng with no intention of continuing to punch her, she said with a swollen face and her voice was unclear as if a marinated egg was stuffed into her mouth.
“Thank you for your compliment!” Gu Mengmeng clasped her fists and laughed scornfully, before turning to the adorable Sandy, totally ignoring Nina that was looking for her teeth all over the ground behind Gu Mengmeng.
This was the first time Sandy had saw Nina being taken advantage of, so pathetically in addition. Although she felt the way Gu Mengmeng handled things was a bit too strange, but so what? The important thing was that they were able to vent their anger out!
Sandy pressed her lips and smiled discreetly. She held Gu Mengmeng’s hands and said softly, “Please don’t dash out all by yourself in the future, what if you get hurt?”
Gu Mengmeng grinned, looking totally different from her beating up Nina fiercely moments before. With a warm smile resembling an innocent older sister next door, Gu Mengmeng comforted her, “Relax relax, I will run away if I can’t win her. I am not stupid, I won’t dash out if I know I can’t win.”
Sandy smiled, she liked Gu Mengmeng so much.
Friend…
She did not know this relationship could exist between females.
Sandy sat back to the small fire pit. Maybe because of Gu Mengmeng, the Flame Devil that she was once afraid of made her feel warm at this moment. The orange-red flamed seemed so gentle, so holy.
“Eh! Don’t eat it!” Gu Mengmeng stopped Sandy from picking up the food that had been thrown away by Nina and stuffing it into her mouth. Looking at Sandy’s confused face, Gu Mengmeng really wanted to lecture her on the basics of food hygiene.
But, how does she get past the huge disparity of knowledge?
Gu Mengmeng shook away the three wrinkles on her head and said in the most direct way, “It’s cold, don’t eat it.”
Sandy pouted and looked at the half-eaten roast rabbit with her big watery eyes. Her pitifully look had melted Gu Mengmeng’s heart.
Ah, Gu Mengmeng, you are so cruel! How can you stop a foodie from eating?!
Gu Mengmeng scolded herself in her heart, before finally succumbing to Sandy’s foodie cuteness. She held Sandy’s small hands and said, “I will go and ask the Leader if there are anything else to eat on his side. I know how to make many many delicacies, let’s throw away this one, alright?”
Hearing that there were many delicacies, Sandy nodded her head immediately and Gu Mengmeng felt as though she could see many shiny stars in her eyes, so Gu Mengmeng returned a similarly bright smile to her. Gu Mengmeng felt herself liking Sandy more and more~
Elvis overheard the whole conversation between Gu Mengmeng and Sandy as the Platform of the Deity’s Punishment was only around five square meters big. Just looking at Gu Mengmeng turning over and looking at him with a slightly pleading look, Elvis felt as if his heart had received a heavy blow.
He realized that a critical hit with advance notice hurt even more!
“Here.” Elvis handed over the roast rabbit that Gu Mengmeng had given him without hesitation.
He had resisted his taste buds and did not eat a single bit as he had wanted to preserve the meat for collection.
But how could any delicious food ever be compared to Gu Mengmeng’s smile?
He would even steal or go through hell to grant her wish if that’s what she had wanted.
