Chapter 1084: Stop Acting Like You Are An Honest Girl Being Forced Into Prostitution, Alright?
Gu Mengmeng turned to look at Elvis, who was sitting beside her and smiling gently. “I noticed you liked that table in the castle at Sauder. It was too troublesome to transport it over so I made one while you were sleeping. Do you like it?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded with a smile. “Although eating beside a fire has its own flavor, I still like being able to sit at a proper table.”
Elvis noticed that, which was why he started making this table for her the moment they came back.
“I will make another smaller one to place inside the cave. This way, you can still eat at a table during the winter season.” Elvis stroked Gu Mengmeng’s head softly. He would give her anything she wanted.
Gu Mengmeng nodded again. She then looked at Auretin, who was hovering about Lea’s pot, as well as Barete, who standing in the shadows staring at his own feet. “Since you are all here, come and sit with us.”
Three stone stools were positioned at each of the two opposing sides of the rectangular table. On one side, the middle stool was draped in a thick animal hide. Needless to say, that seat was reserved for Gu Mengmeng. The other two stools flanking that seat would naturally belong to Elvis and Lea.
The middle stool on the opposite side was already occupied by Wabei. He seldom ate cooked food, and the portions were insufficient anyway. But he liked to accompany Gu Mengmeng while she ate. Further, he felt that Snakel deserved a seat at this table, and since Snakel was not around, Wabei would take his seat in place.
Auretin and Barete sat on either side of Wabei, while Lea placed the huge stone pot on the table. He then distributed the individual plates to let everyone ladle their own share of the food.
“I still feel the most comfortable eating at our own home.” Gu Mengmeng stretched out lazily and leaned into Elvis’ arms after finishing her meal. She looked at Auretin, who automatically cleared the dishes for washing. Meanwhile, Lea fetched over a large platter of grapes and fed them to Gu Mengmeng one by one.
Lea was a witch doctor and also a snow fox like Cole. If he dared to feed those grapes to Gu Mengmeng, it meant there was nothing wrong with the fruit.
Plus Elvis had personally ate some and had not suffered any ill-effects up till now. As a result, Elvis didn’t insist that she could only eat them at night.
After eating a couple of grapes, Gu Mengmeng’s eyes suddenly shifted.
Grapes…
“Little shit, there’s something I need you to help me with.” Gu Mengmeng sat up and raised one eyebrow at Wabei.
After yesterday’s teasing, Wabei now felt chills all over every time Gu Mengmeng smiled at him.
He hugged his own shoulders and looked guardedly at Gu Mengmeng. “What?”
Gu Mengmeng smacked the table and hollered. “Drop your hands. Stop acting like you are an honest girl being forced into prostitution, alright?”
Wabei stiffened his neck. “I am to drop my hands just because you want me to? You want to humiliate me?”
Gu Mengmeng snorted derisively. “Fine, maintain your pathetic and wretched posture. Drop your hands as and when you like.”
Wabei’s temples throbbed. What did she mean by pathetic and wretched? Why did that sound so wrong to him?
Glaring at Gu Mengmeng, he said, “What do you want me to do, just spit it out.”
Only then did Gu Mengmeng suddenly remember she was asking a favor of him. Hence she smiled pleasantly. “I am going to wash these grapes at the little stream later on. Thereafter, can you help me crush them?”
