This meaningless bloodshed lasted for a night. When the sun from the next day rose from the horizon and after the first sunlight shone on Gu Mengmeng's face, a loud cheer that would rouse the deaf erupted from the bottom of the wooden pagoda.
Gu Mengmeng turned around blankly, looking back at Elvis who was hugging her throughout. Her eyes were numb and hollow from all the nerves that had reached their limits.
Yes, tonight Elvis did not need to raise a finger at all, Lea defended against all the single males from the tribe alone.
"It ended." Elvis patted Gu Mengmeng's back gently, lifting her above his head while holding her armpits to welcome the first sunlight from the morning sun.
The beasts at the bottom of the wooden pagoda became more excited, their cheers echoing through the heavens.
Gu Mengmeng still did not understand what was the meaning of the Coming-To-Age Ceremony but thanking her lords, it finally ended.
