Chapter 488: Is An Internal Conflict Starting?

Gu Mengmeng frowned and asked, “I’ve to sing ‘My Little Happiness’ again? I already have a mental trauma from it….”

Lea shook his head and replied, “You’re not allowed to sing that song in the future.”

Elvis hugged onto Gu Mengmeng’s waist and said, “You just have to sing one song, don’t tire yourself out.”

Lea did not insist any further as he said, “Who’s going to help you carry the drum? Me or Elvis?”

Gu Mengmeng could strongly feel the pressure both sides gave her….

Is an… internal conflict starting? Are they going to snatch this kind of physical labor job too?

For the harmony of her family, Gu Mengmeng suggested, “Both of you will help me lift that drum up to stabilize it, alright?”

Elvis and Lea both nodded their heads, not saying anything else.

During sunset, when the crimson red light filled half of the skies, Gu Mengmeng instructed her tribesmen to smear the oil extracted from the animal fats on a few large pieces of wood. Then, she lightly pointed the fire in her hands and instantly, the wooden pile with the height of a person started burning in flames. Gu Mengmeng turned around and lifted the fire high up, giving a loud cheer. Right after, Elvis led all the males into howling towards the heavens, creating a magnificent sight.

Gu Mengmeng did not change her clothes because she did not intend on performing at all. However, she eventually agreed because she did not want to reject Lea. Her cloak and shorts were thrown away to god knows where and she could not find them anywhere so Gu Mengmeng could only wear her usual clothes while standing on the drum. Although it was pretty weird, the good thing was that…in the standards of the Beast World, which part of Gu Mengmeng was not weird? Thus, that piece of clothing did not appear very important.

Elvis and Lea lifted the drum up steadily while Gu Mengmeng sang and danced on it. Although her movements were clearly not her best as compared to the previous time when she helped Collin proposing, it was already stunning enough for those who just joined Saint Nazaire and were witnessing this performance for the first time.

Soon after, Gu Mengmeng screamed at the top of her lungs, “A ripping sound————!” At the same time, Collin stood up and evolved into his bear form, crazily punching his chest with both his hands before looking up in the skies and howling in madness.

It was just the time of a breath when the original tribesmen from Saint Nazaire realized the situation before they evolved into their beast forms, howling fiercely to coordinate well with Collin.

The new tribesmen were also influenced as they learned from them and evolved into their beast forms too, raising their heads while howling at the top of their voice.

This behavior became a ceremony of Saint Nazaire after this round and when new tribesmen joined them every year, Gu Mengmeng would sing ‘Aliens’ before the messenger’s guards lead the parade of howling at the heavens.

It was said that, “After howling at the heavens together, we’re a family.”

But, Gu Mengmeng was completely dumbfounded.

What had carelessly screaming as they wish and becoming a family got to do with each other? Was there scientific backing? For example after shouting loudly, would the broken DNA result in the genes regrouping and a family forming?

The person who added fuel to the flame of this ceremony was Lea. The explanation he gave was, “The howling sounds that the males give off with all their might would be transmitted to the mighty Beast Deity who came to hear the messenger sing. The mighty Beast Deity will then hear of their unity and they will become the acknowledged fellow tribesmen of the messenger.”

Gu Mengmeng shrugged her shoulders and thought to herself, “This must definitely be him talking nonsense but…..the people in the Beast World all believed him… all believed him……believed him……him….”

Gu Mengmeng was supposed to make a motivating speech after Lea and Elvis slowly place the drum down while the crowd was howling loudly. Then, they could start something like a meat-roasting frenzy but all of these suddenly changed when the howling stopped abruptly.

The drum leaned towards one side and Gu Mengmeng clearly felt herself falling towards that side. She looked in that direction instinctively and noticed Lea’s face turning pale white, perspiration dotting all over his forehead. Even though he wanted to support himself with all his might, he eventually could not hold on as he tilted and fell to the ground…..
