Bab 1268: Nine More Days

"Gregory." Gregory smiled. "Don't listen to Lea's nonsense. They are just fooling around."

Gu Mengmeng thought Gregory looked so grim because he took offense to Lea's joke. After all, to a male in the Beast World, partnering was a sacred matter and not something that should be joked about.

Gregory's face remained impassive but his eyes dimmed a little. He nodded. "I know."

"Oh yes, the bird which you brought back the previous time—what kind was it? The one with the gorgeous feathers." Gu Mengmeng changed the topic to stave off any awkwardness.

Gregory thought for a moment. "Melotti?"

Gu Mengmeng nodded vigorously. "Yes yes yes. That's the one. Is it very difficult to catch that type of bird?"

Gregory shook his head. "Not difficult." It was just that the habitat of those birds were somewhat further away. Gregory had come upon them by chance in the midst of their migration, and so caught a couple for Gu Mengmeng to try.
