Gu Mengmeng dispatched an eagle-owl over to Zacharias with a message. It will take about two to three days for the flight to and back.
Hence Gu Mengmeng followed Elvis' suggestion to take this time to go visit the Beast Deity. By the time she woke up, Wabei should have arrived and the eagle-owl would have also returned with news.
With that, she could settle Maya's situation first before deciding whether to go to the Motou mountain range or the Mecca Desert.
Elvis placed Gu Mengmeng inside the cave. Lea changed the animal skins draped across her bed three times daily—morning, noon and night. Whenever she went to bed, the sheets would always smell and feel like sunshine.
Holding Gu Mengmeng's hand gently, Elvis kissed her on the forehead. "You must remember to ask if you can bring me along next time."
Gu Mengmeng nodded before slowly closing her eyes.
Layers of white fog covered her eyes. But Gu Mengmeng no longer felt uneasy or at a loss.
