Chapter 1040: Between Us, Is There Still A Need To Say Thank You?

Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Choosing their names, right?”
“Mmm.” Sandy’s eyes were glowing.
She really liked the names of Hede and the brothers. Although the names meant nothing when translated to beast language, she still liked them. They had a unique flavor and were names which she could never think up herself.
“Joseph, Johnny, Jogner. ” Gu Mengmeng listed the three names which she had already thought of earlier.
Sandy felt rather disappointed. She had thought the names would be like Hede’s and his brothers’, names that were meaningless but completely unique.
Gu Mengmeng noticed the hesitation on Sandy’s face. “What’s the matter? You don’t like them?” Gu Mengmeng had even specially discussed this with Lea, to choose names which held special meanings in the Beast World. Further, the first syllabus of each name was identical and one could immediately tell they were from the same family.
Sandy shook her head. “It’s not that I don’t like them, but… I thought they would be like the names of Hede and his brothers—pleasant to the ears and special.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled. “After these three little ones grow up, if they prefer the names of Hede and the rest, then have them go fight their big brothers for it. They can take over their names if they win.”
Sandy patted the heads of the three little ones. “Do you hear that? Your godmother is teaching you to become brave children. When you see something you like, you must fight for it and snatch it over.”
Pfft…
Gu Mengmeng burst out laughing.
Sandy was not just her bosom friend now? She was behaving like a total fangirl. No matter what she did, Sandy would think up of a noble reason for her actions.
Actually, Gu Mengmeng was just speaking casually and teasing the kids…
“Joseph, Johnny, Jogner…” Sandy repeated the three names with a smile. Her eyes grew softer.
Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Mmm, Lea said they mean happiness, courage and wisdom.”
Sandy nodded, implying that Gu Mengmeng was right. She then tugged Gu Mengmeng’s hand. “Thank you.”
“Between us, is there still a need to say thank you?” Gu Mengmeng returned Sandy’s grasp. “Have a good rest and recover well. We will return to Saint Nazaire after the drought season ends.”
Sandy nodded and returned to bed.
She was still too weak after giving birth, and would feel very tired after just sitting up for awhile.
Gu Mengmeng continued playing with the leopard cubs for some time before returning to her own stone castle.
The drought season did not affect Sauder much. Although they had only one well, it produced water endlessly, and the supply was being rationed. With Gu Mengmeng’s special status, she could use as much water as she wished. And because of Sandy’s unique relationship with Gu Mengmeng, Oakley also took extra care of her. Every day, Collin could draw water for Sandy right after Lea finished doing so for Gu Mengmeng. Thereafter, the rest of the females could have their turn. The households with pregnant females were third in line, followed by those who had just given birth—and in accordance to the number of babies they birthed, and then finally the rest of the families in order of their power rankings.
Only after all the females in the tribe had drawn their water, would the other tribes in alliance with Sauder be allowed their turn.
Oakley had arranged everything to run in an orderly manner.
Gu Mengmeng laid by the window in a daze, while Lea stood outside. He lifted a small cup of water to her lips. Gu Mengmeng took a sip before asking, “Do you feel that… this drought season has been too peaceful?”
Lea chuckled. “Isn’t it good for things to be peaceful?”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. “16 tribes have come to pledge their allegiance. Shouldn’t there be plenty of conflicts of interest and infighting in the background? But there has been no dispute at all…”
