It Feels Great To Pretend To Be Snake's Stepfather

Lea chuckled. "Then let's imprison Miranda and spread the news that she has already been sold. Next year during the monsoon season, we will bring her up with us when we go up the Motou mountains. How about that?"

Gu Mengmeng nodded. "Lea… do you feel I am too selfish? Doing this to her just because she likes you… it's so petty of me, isn't it?"

Lea caressed Gu Mengmeng's hair. "Silly girl, did you forget what I said? Your selfishness is my dream. I can't get enough of your selfishness. The more you cannot stand others liking me, the more it shows you care for me. This gives me a great sense of security. I cannot be happier. Why would I feel you are being bad?"

Gu Mengmeng didn't say anything more. She just snuggled in Lea's arms for a while.

The weather turned cooler by the day and the time for Wabei to return to the Snake King valley approached.
