Gu Mengmeng blinked her large innocent eyes at Elvis and sized him up from head to toe a few times. Damn it, he did not have anything on his body besides the beast skin dress he was wearing. Where else could he have hidden it?
Wait!
Gu Mengmeng’s mind exploded, and she stared at Elvis’s beast skin dress with a frozen face.
F***! Leader, don’t tell me you have such a strong taste?!
Damn it, the salt she was bringing back was to be consumed. And he’s telling her to use this beast skin dress that was stuck close to some of his important body parts without adding additives to wrap the salt up? How was she able to consume the food after they finish cooking with the salt?
Gu Mengmeng shook her head like a rattle-drum and said, “No, no, we can’t use your beast skin dress. This will cause me to have a trauma against salt.”
Elvis smiled in a indulging way, “It’s alright. After we’re done extracting the salt, I’ll evolve into my original form and carry you back. Nobody will see my body.”
Gu Mengmeng was perplexed as she face-palmed and said, “The problem is not this, alright?”
Elvis did not understand her and he frowned slightly, “Huh?”
Gu Mengmeng exerted too much strength while hugging onto the salt and some crystals were already shattered in her hands.
Gu Mengmeng look at the shattered salt crystals in her hands and said hurriedly, “Let’s get down first, I’ll think of a solution.”
Elvis did not say anything further, and he gave his legs a huge push, sending his entire body leaping up like a spring bed. He stepped on the stones consecutively a few times and then landed around one meter near the lake steadily. He placed Gu Mengmeng on the ground with utmost caution and supported her shoulder while saying, “Wait for me here, I’ll get some more for you.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded. She was clear that with her physique, she would only add to the trouble if she went over too so she might as well just hand the task over to Elvis.
Elvis held onto Gu Mengmeng’s shoulder and exerted a bit of strength. He stared into her eyes and said, “Promise me, don’t go close to the lake.”
Gu Mengmeng was aware that Elvis was traumatized by her previously and she smiled, “Don’t worry, I cherish my life more than anyone else and I don’t have any tendency to commit suicide or conduct self-harm.”
Elvis was still not at ease but this was the first time in a few days that Gu Mengmeng was interested in something. He could see that she was trying her best to divert her attention to other stuff so that she would not have the idle time to think of Lea. As long as she was not in sorrow, he was willing to do everything for her.
Elvis headed towards the walls of the lake while paying close attention to Gu Mengmeng’s state. Seeing how she was just using great effort to pluck a few large leaves at a side and then wrapped the salt up carefully, he then rested his heart and leaped onto the cliff.
Not long later, Elvis had already made ten over trips back. Gu Mengmeng looked at the mountain of salt crystals in front of her and a smile that came deep from her heart finally appeared on her face.
Both Elvis and her wrapped the salt separately using the leaves and then used thin tree vines to secure them one by one properly. They then hung it over Elvis’s neck like how a scarf was being tied. With salt packets hung around his neck and a petite Gu Mengmeng in his arms, Elvis looked like a… boss from the grocer’s store bringing his daughter home after purchasing the goods.
This thought made Gu Mengmeng laugh out loud uncontrollably. She weighed the considerable number of salt packets in her hands and suddenly felt that she resembled an overnight millionaire who became rich all of a sudden.
Elvis did not know what Gu Mengmeng wanted to do with these white crystals but seeing Gu Mengmeng’s smile, he felt that these crystals were really precious. He wanted to extract all the crystals at the lake for her. As long as she could continue smiling like that, it was already enough.
