Chapter 1627

Gu Mengmeng already knew that Snake was one who would give in to coax rather than coercion.

Seeing that Snake was pretending to remain prideful yet having no choice but to give in to her, Gu Mengmeng’s mood improved significantly. She tiptoed and pecked his chin, then giggled.

Snake’s face had brightened because of Gu Mengmeng’s attempt to please him, so he turned to the side graciously and said, “I have brought back your guardian beast.”

Gu Mengmeng’s body froze, along with the smile on her face. A watery mist instantly covered her eyes and she wiped them before she turned to look in the direction that Snake was pointing at.

“Gregory…” Gu Mengmeng choked when she called out his name.

Gregory was smiling very gently. He stood at his spot without moving closer, and only looked at her with a deep gaze, saying, “I promised that I will be back, I have fulfilled that promise.”

Gu Mengmeng wanted to hug Gregory, but with Snake’s hands still on her waist, she did not dare to move and only secretly glanced at Snake.

Snake’s face did not seem pleasant, but he was not infuriated, and only replied coldly, “He had guarded my body for a thousand years so that I can return safely to meet you. Even though it is suffocating, but because of his favor, I brought him back. But let me warn you against having thoughts that you should not have. If you let me find out that…”

Snake did not finish his sentence and only squinted his eyes, exuding an aura of imminent danger.

Gu Mengmeng cowardly contracted her neck. Before she could even explain herself, Gregory had already taken the first move and said, “I am only a guardian beast, I do not have other desires, so you don’t have to be so anxious, I won’t snatch away her love for you.”

Snake scoffed nonchalantly, “Snatch away her love? Such an arrogant tone… But don’t worry, I also won’t let that happen. If you had become partners with Twomeng before I did, or had a mark nearer to her heart than mine, I will definitely make you die a worse death than you had a thousand years ago.”

Gu Mengmeng could not keep up with them for a moment and blankly stared at Snake then at Gregory then at Snake…

So, what Snake meant by “thoughts that she should not have” referred to letting Gregory in the position that he had previously had?

She thought that he would say any male beasts besides him are barbarians and she should not have any contact with them.

“What are you looking at?” Snake looked down at Gu Mengmeng and asked.

Gu Mengmeng laughed dryly and responded, “Nothing, I just feel that your temperament has improved a lot.”

Snake gently squeezed Gu Mengmeng and said, “A person that I have exchanged with two lifetimes, how could I not treasure her? So long as you are alright, I will be fine.”

After he said that, Snake lightly pushed Gu Mengmeng into Gregory’s arms.

Gregory opened up his arms for a hug. He still did not move from his original position and received her steadily, giving her a huge hug. He said, “I have no right to snatch you away from other’s arms, so I can only wait for you at this spot. Thank you for being willing to come to my arms, thank you… for not forgetting me.”

Gu Mengmeng did not say anything and only placed both hands gently on his arms.

Gregory seemed to be able to tell what she was thinking, so he gently moved to her ears and whispered, “Today’s weather is beautiful, how about you fulfill the promise that you had made previously?”

Gu Mengmeng raised her head to look at Gregory, with her eyes full of expectation.

Gregory widened his arms and lightly shook. A pair of wings that look like ice immediately opened up behind him. With the light reflecting from it, it glistened like crystals.
