Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO Chapter 878

Chapter 878: It Is Still More Comfortable Being In My Arms, Right?

Gu Mengmeng was not a person who placed a lot of importance on authority, but she was also no fool.
Oakley was clearly overstepping his boundaries today.
Gu Mengmeng frowned and didn’t go up the stage.
Meanwhile, everyone below was already kneeling down respectfully and waiting for Gu Mengmeng’s next command.
Lea whispered in a low voice, “The hunt is a major event, and cannot be delayed. Other matters, we can talk about it later.”
Gu Mengmeng hesitated but eventually nodded. She had Elvis carry her onto the stage, after which she turned to face the crowd. “Warriors, congratulations on passing the trials of the harsh winter, and emerging an even better version of yourself. Now, it is time for you to display your prowess and capabilities before the Beast Deity. The first hunt marking the end of winter starts now!”
Cheers erupted from the crowd.
Earthshaking howls sounded out from below the stage right after Gu Mengmeng’s announcement.
Elvis gave a slight shake of his gleaming, jet-black hair. His massive, muscular body radiated an undeniable aura of dominance, an indisputable ruler under the shining sun. Everyone subconsciously yielded to his supremacy, no one dared to take even half a step in front of him.
With Elvis leading the army, the group of tribesmen sprinted off.
Lea didn’t need to participate in this hunt. Elvis alone was enough to control the expedition.
Gu Mengmeng’s gaze drifted and landed on Oakley, who also didn’t join in the hunt. She didn’t speak but just observed him quietly.
Oakley didn’t appear anxious but just bowed at Gu Mengmeng before saying, “Does the Great Messenger have something to ask me? Why don’t we… move to the conference hall?”
Gu Mengmeng didn’t answer but just turned and walked out.
Winter had just ended and the snow had yet to completely melt. As a result, the ground was very muddy.
Lea carried Gu Mengmeng and said dotingly, “The ground is still cold. So it is still more comfortable being in my arms, right?”
Gu Mengmeng smiled and nodded, but remained silent.
She knew Lea was worried she would be in a bad mood because of Oakley, and was intentionally trying to lift her spirits.
The conference hall was just behind the altar and within five minutes, Gu Mengmeng was already seated on the white tiger skin draped over the stone chair. Lea raised a fire and started heating some water for Gu Mengmeng to drink.
Meanwhile, Oakley stood to the side and met Gu Mengmeng’s eyes with an open and erect manner.
“This winter, a total of three nest of youngsters were born in Sauder. Another Snow fox is currently pregnant, and it should be a female baby. Because of the food storage methods passed down by the Great Messenger, no male had to be killed as food. Only seven were frozen to death this winter as they were already physically weak in the first place. The females of the Snow fox are more delicate than other races, so I had all of them remain at home, to avoid falling ill from the chill. This is also why you did not see any females today. Nevertheless, all the males have come out and the ceremony was still very grand. I wonder if the Great Messenger is satisfied with my humble arrangements?”
Gu Mengmeng gave a light laugh. “Mmm, you have managed Sauder very well.”
Oakley lowered his head and maintained his mild smile. “Thank you Great Messenger for your praise.”
Gu Mengmeng said, “But… why did I not see Barete and Auretin just now?”
Oakley didn’t seem surprised by Gu Mengmeng’s question. He answered smoothly, “Sauder is under the personal command of the Great Messenger, but there is no one to officiate the end of winter ceremony for Saint Nazaire. So after much consideration, I decided to have the two of them head back to Saint Nazaire first, so that they can settle things there.”
