Chapter 1041: Turbulent Winds Precede A Raging Storm

Gu Mengmeng stood up and turned to sit on the window ledge, dangling her legs casually over the edge as she leaned her head against the side. “We also opened up our well at Saint Nazaire to other tribes, and for free. You have been managing the exercise yourself and know how many conflicts cropped up… unless your disciple Oakley is better than you at mediating disputes—but this is something I can’t believe.”

Lea gave a mild smile but kept quiet. How could he not have noticed this anomaly?

But he had promised Gu Mengmeng never to hide things from her again. So although he had noticed the strange situation, he didn’t investigate and even forced himself not to try and analyze what was happening.

Because the moment he uncovered the truth, he would have to tell Gu Mengmeng or it would count as hiding the truth from her.

But he didn’t want Gu Mengmeng to be embroiled in those troublesome matters. Hence, he had no choice but to be prepared to make his move only after the enemy had struck.

Anyway, his Mengmeng held extraordinary powers. She also had the formidable Elvis to protect her. They would be able to overcome any adversity.

So as long as the shady undertakings didn’t extend to his Mengmeng, he would turn a blind eye to it.

Gu Mengmeng remained leaning against the side of the window. “It’s too peaceful. A peace that feels very bizarre… I just feel… it’s like how turbulent winds precede a raging storm.”

The moon was already in its second phase.

Without realizing it, over a one month had passed since Gu Mengmeng returned to Sauder.

The past month had been peaceful beyond belief. Gu Mengmeng went over to play with those leopard cubs every morning. Those cubs grew very close to Gu Mengmeng. Their gurgling noises were especially endearing. Sandy’s health was also improving very well, and she would share with Gu Mengmeng the adorable and astonishing behavior of her babies.

At noontime, Elvis would come and fetch Gu Mengmeng back to the stone castle, where Lea would have lunch waiting for her.

The past month was the peaceful life which she had always dreamed of, but Gu Mengmeng felt increasingly fretful with each passing day. She just felt that something bad was brewing. It was like a tiny piece of snow tumbling down from the mountaintop—by the time you noticed it at the bottom, it would have already turned into an unsurmountable and unstoppable avalanche.

Gu Mengmeng kept feeling like she was teetering on the verge calamity , as if there was one hand gripping her throat and making her feel very much ill-at-ease.

It was now halfway through the drought season and this was the most unbearable stage.

They could endure the front stage of the drought by drinking more water in advance, and then drinking the blood of their prey. But now… even their prey had no blood left in their bodies.

Demand for Sauder’s well grew tremendously. The crowd queuing up for water increased day by day, and Oakley had no choice but to extend the water retrieval schedule to the entire day. Even so, they could not keep up with the demand.

Greed was one of man’s most basic nature.

If the entire world had no water, everyone would have no choice but to endure it regardless of how painful it was.

But if the rest world had no water, but you did…

You were fated to endure the jealousy and hatred from everyone else.

Previously, Sauder’s source of life was a secret and no other tribe knew of it.

But since Oakley publicly announced this resource—so what if it was the Messengers tribe? When Saint Nazaire’s well was dug, how many people took the risk of offending the Messenger of the Beast Deity to steal water? In the end, it was only because Gu Mengmeng opened up the water source for everyone that finally resolved the issues. The queues for Saint Nazaire’s well were longer but it was a fair system.

But Oakley…

He was only offering the water source to the 16 surrounding tribes.

In other words, apart from those 16 tribes, everyone else was in a maddened craze and they had all gathered at Sauder.
