Gu Mengmeng’s smile froze for a period of time.
Indeed, there would always be someone confessing to her, trying to get her favor or raising the suggestion of mating after she came to the Beast World.
She also could see the fanaticism, persistence, adoration and some desire to possess in those males’ eyes.
But Snake was a special case, his eyes were mysterious but clear, and it was not an ignorant kind of clearness. Instead, it was one that had settled down after experiencing many vicissitudes of life and rising from the ashes.
Gu Mengmeng asked herself, even if she started cultivating ‘The 10086 Ways To Seduce A Snake Demon’ ever since she was in her Mother’s womb, with her 20 year long skills, she would still not be able to act out any story from ‘Strange Tales From A Chinese Studio’ in front of Snake that thousand-year old demon. Snake was very interested in her but it should just be a curiosity towards his Mother. If she was in his shoes, she would also want to know what exactly was so good in that world that her Mother was so crazily insistent in returning back without any regrets in abandoning her many partners who had handed their lives to her. She even wanted to use her own blood as a key to open the door of transmigration.
And this kind of curiosity did not equal to adoration.
Snake’s rivalry and obvious desire to possess against Elvis and the rest was probably his basic nature as a snake.
Selfish, greedy, that was it.
From another point of view, if you were to adopt a stray dog one day and that dog was actually quite adorable. It swayed its tail in an adorably dumb way in front of you everyday, comforting your lonely soul and tasteless life. Then suddenly, one day, the original owner of the dog came to find you and claimed, “This dog is mine, return me.” If it were you, wouldn’t you feel uncomfortable too?
Of course, people from the modern world had basic family upbringing and etiquette mastery so if the original dog owner could provide enough evidence to prove that the dog is his, despite how unwilling one is, he would still return the dog back. At most, he could try to discuss, “Shall we exchange Wechat contacts? It will be easier for me to visit this clueless idiot….”
But Snake was different. According to what Elvis had said, in the Beast World, seizing by force was the correct principle. Back then, Elvis broke the beast horn that Auretin brought over to share a meal with just one hand. He openly snatched it over and gave it to Gu Mengmeng but he did not find any problems with it. Auretin, too, acted like it was a matter of course even though he was the one who got snatched from.
I can’t defeat you so I deserve to be snatched from
This was the principle everyone acknowledged in the Beast World.
Moving it to the current situation, the argument was exactly the same.
If Gu Mengmeng was that stray dog Snake picked up or maybe snatched and the original dog owner Elvis could not defeat him, Elvis could only stare at how that dog ‘treat the snake as its owner’. Moreover, he could not even try to discuss, “Snake King, shall we exchange Wechat contacts?” This was because Gu Mengmeng was the one who transmigrated over and not Pony Ma.
This metaphor made Gu Mengmeng’s face twitch, she detest herself thoroughly in her heart for comparing herself to a stray dog.
Her perception must have been influenced because this demon Snake held out his palm from time to time while calling her ‘Twomeng’ to train her behavior of ‘shaking hands’. Gu Mengmeng twitched her lips and then glared at Snake with a disdainful look, growling, “Get lost.”
Snake quietly stared at how Gu Mengmeng’s expression changed numerous times like a trotting horse lamp after he raised a mating request and eventually gave a conclusion of ‘get lost’.
He leaned his body forward in rich interest and asked, “After you mate with me, you would be standing on top of the food chain and it’s a deal that would only allow you to win and not lose, why don’t you want it?”
