Chapter 1019: The Absolute Leader That Nobody Could Defy
The Beast Deity held onto Gu Mengmeng’s loose hair and looked at her neck. He chuckled and said, “Yes, it seems different.”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned for a moment, she frowned and said, “But Snake looks fine just before this.”
The Beast Deity nodded and continued, “The protection mark is different from the mating mark. The protection mark will change depending on the power inherited inside your body.”
Gu Mengmeng looked at the Beast Deity with an expressionless face, please forgive her but not understanding what he was saying.
The Beast Deity thought for a while, before asking, “Do you remember the poisonous gas which was absorbed by the Kiss of the Ocean?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and signaled that she remembered.
The Beast Deity chuckled and said, “That was a venom from a snake.”
Without waiting for Gu Mengmeng to question again, he continued, “Do you remember the blood that was sucked into your palm while retrieving the Soul of the Forest?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded again.
The Beast Deity then said, “That was the blood of a snake.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned and did not understand.
The Beast Deity continued, “Then do you know who the snake is?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head truthfully.
The Beast Deity said, “Wales.”
The Beast Deity just stated one name, but Gu Mengmeng’s whole body shook.
Wales? ! Snake’s father, the one with the heart dug out by Wang Xiaoxin? !
The Beast Deity nodded and confirmed Gu Mengmeng’s suspicion. He then continued, “What Snake had left you with was his personal protection mark, but it is also a key. You absorbing Wales’s blood and venom was equivalent to activating this key and opened the door of the protection mark. You should have realized by now, you became much more powerful compared to the last time. In the past, snakes had obeyed you because they were fearful of your power as the Beast Kind, or wanted to see protection from your identity as the Messenger of the Beast Deity, or like Wabei, respecting you because of Snake. But now…”
The Beast Deity stopped here for a moment, before continuing, “Now, the protection mark on you has changed from Snake’s personal mark to that of the entire snake tribe, which means that all snakes cannot disobey your orders. You are the absolute leader and nobody could defy you.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned and remembered Wabei’s strange behaviors the day they came back from taking the Soul of the Forest
That day, she did not release beast pressure, she only said to ‘stop’ and Wabei turned as weak as a strand of cooked noodle as he laid on the ground, unable to get up. Cole even said that he could never get back up if she did not let him.
So, it was because of the change of the protection mark, and not because of the power of the Beast King?
“Do you still remember Ellie’s death?” The Beast Deity continued, “It was because she had forcefully gone against Snake’s orders that her scales dropped off one by one, as though her skin had been ripped off from her. You could tell how angry Snake was. But now, you have the same power.”
Gu Mengmeng frowned and felt a little unease deep down her heart.
She clearly remembered the Beast Deity saying Wang Xiaoxin realizing her love for Wales after his death, hence giving up her chance of going back to the present world and stayed in the Beast World.
But…
Then why did Wales’s blood and venom end up in the deep ocean and at Zacharias?
The Beast Deity kissed Gu Mengmeng’s forehead and said, “Alright, there are some things then you will understand in the future. Go back now, or else Elvis and Lea will be worried.”
Gu Mengmeng knew that this meant the Beast Deity did not want to answer any more questions. She did not want to force him and asked this again, as usual, “How about when Wabei went to look for Snake, could you tell me about that now?”
