Chapter 555: The Key to Open the Gate of Transmigration
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips, moved closer, hesitated for a moment but went on to hold Snake’s hand. She said, “Perhaps, there are people in that world that she could not live without.”
Snake chuckled, he looked at Gu Mengmeng’s small hand and said, “This is the first time you held my hand voluntarily.”
Gu Mengmeng did not answer, nor did she take back her hand. All she did was to stare at Snake, because she knew that Snake has something to say.
Snake used two breaths’ time to adjust his emotion slightly, before saying, “The last divine artifact she needed… was me.”
Gu Mengmeng was stunned and she frowned.
Snake used his fingers to soothe Gu Mengmeng’s frown and said, “You are already so ugly and even uglier with that frown on.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and said, “Right, you are the expert at skincare, I’ll listen to you.”
Snake’s two hands finally handed in Gu Mengmeng’s. Holding onto her small fists, he felt like they were the power reserves pumping energy to him as he started to recall the memories that had been washed away by the flow of time and could no longer evoke any emotions in him. He said, “The key to open the gate of transmigration is the relative of someone of the level of Beast King. Nobody knew what agreements should be made with the Beast Deity, but one day after she woke up, she went to find my father beast in a cave who had just awoken from his hibernation, she suggested mating and… there was me.”
Gu Mengmeng was feeling a little out of context, she suddenly thought of Sun Li in ‘Legend of Miyue’ where she held her stomach and said to the courtiers, “The late king had appeared in my dream, where we mated and I woke up pregnant! Hahaha…”
Snake did not know about Gu Mengmeng’s thoughts and continued, “Her other partners loved her, were afraid of her, doted on her, but my father was different. Maybe it was a snake’s nature, his love was selfish and possessive, there were no ‘sacrifice’ or ‘fulfillment’ in a snake’s dictionary. When he found out that she mates with him just to give birth to an offspring of the king of beasts, so that she could open the gate of transmigration and abandon him, he was furious. He dropped me into the bottom of a freezing lake, where I was asleep for years and did not know what happened after. But when I woke up and broke the shell of my egg, there was no more Messenger of the Beast Deity in this world. The memory I inherited stopped at the moment my father dropped me into the lake.”
Gu Mengmeng patted on Snake’s shoulder lightly and said, “At least you survived, that’s good enough.”
Snake sniggered, he asked with despair in his eyes, “Do you really feel that living for eternity and unable to die is a good thing?”
Gu Mengmeng could not answer this question.
She remembered once seeing a quote from a book, “A thousand year life bears a thousand year of loneliness.”
The start of his life was a game of plots and manipulation, he was more unfortunate than her. At least, before her father cheated, Gu Mengmeng had a few years of love from her parents.
Snake looked up and seemed to have thought of an interesting thing, he asked, “Is there a king of the beasts in your sons.”
Gu Mengmeng froze for a moment and answered, “No!”
Snake hooked onto Gu Mengmeng’s neck lightly, squinted his eyes and asked, “Do you want to bear one? I am pure-blooded, I have powerful genes and the most important of all… I have memories passed down from generations, where I inherited all the prior mating experiences from my ancestors.”
