Chapter 490: Chapter 181: Magic!
“Not getting enough nutrients…? Even a Slime can have times when it’s not full?”
When the Hero found the Slime King hidden inside a tree hollow, it was weakly undulating inside.
This was a dead large tree, thick enough for several people to join hands around, and the hollowed-out big hole in the trunk was the residence of the Slime King.
“Because it gave all its Magic Power to its offspring? So serious? I thought Slime division would be simpler…”
The Hero squatted down and gently poked the Slime King in front of her. The gigantic liquid mass, taller than she was, rippled with her touch.
But now, the Slime King had shrunk a bit compared to the first time she met it. The originally crystal-clear deep blue body now appeared a bit murky.
These were signs of lacking Magic Power.
Speaking of which, she and the Slime King seemed to have something in common; after all, she also had a liquid Magic Body.
However, compared to her, the Slime King had a higher viscosity, like a big mound of blue pudding, with a soft and elastic surface texture that couldn’t help but remind people of desserts.
And she remembered the taste of the Slime King was indeed——
“Ahem!” The Hero abruptly shook her head, shaking off the untimely thought.
“Don’t move around, I’ll transfer some Magic Power to you, and you’ll recover soon.”
Resisting the urge to lick her fingers, she placed her palm back on the Slime King.
[Hero activates skill: Unpaid Love]
A gentle magic glow slowly bloomed in the Hero’s hand, illuminating the dim tree hollow.
“How should I say this, my feelings are quite complex.” The Hero looked at her “offspring” and sighed helplessly.
“If Your Majesty had been a little calmer back then, perhaps it wouldn’t have turned out this way.”
Outside the tree hollow, the Gleaming Scale Serpent, who came along with the Hero to visit this “friend,” gave a balanced evaluation in a steady tone, making the Hero’s expression turn bitter.
“I’m reflecting on it…”
She continued to transfer Magic Power to the Slime King. As the Magic Power soaked through, the body of the Slime King regained its fullness and became crystal clear, revealing another blob of liquid with a different color inside.

[Will you take the Slime King home?]
1. Yes
2. No♛
D2=d2(2)=2
Looking at the deep blue inside of the Slime King, and that noticeable sky-blue liquid, the Hero slightly widened her eyes.
Like the color of a clear sky…
A moment later, her expression softened, and she said softly:
“If it’s derived from my Magic Power, this should be the color of wind, but…”
Through the awakening of Magician power, the Hero learned that the power of wind flows in her lineage.
Her father was a Pantheon Mage in the field of the Wind Element, and from her grandfather’s stories, she confirmed that several generations of her ancestors made their living on the sea, including a legendary seafarer.
This convinced her that her awakening of the Wind Element was not just from her father, but already embedded in the family lineage, passed down from the distant past to the present.
The Kingdom’s shipbuilding technology, though not enough to support real ocean voyages, was another matter for a fleet with strong Professionals. The power of Professionals could make up for the inadequacy of technology and ships, even when facing the harshness of nature, survival was not out of the question.
And the element most suitable for the ocean domain was undoubtedly wind.
The effect of the Wind Element at sea was even greater than the Water Element, and the crises of navigation often did not come from the seawater below but from the wind above it.
Wind is the assistance for navigation, and also the source of crises at sea. The storms on the sea, the surging huge waves, and the ever-changing weather, all are closely related to the power of the wind.
Because of this, those who can harness storms can also challenge the raging seas, even to voyage across oceans to unknown shores.
Considering her ancestors could even sail to the moon, having a profound mastery of the Wind Element enough to benefit future generations is not something to be surprised about.
Her gaze returned to the Slime King in front of her, and that unborn Little Slime quietly floating within it, emitting a fresh sky-blue luster.
So, this color must only be a coincidence, an accident, unrelated to her.
Nonetheless, a warm smile involuntarily emerged on her lips.
“But, I hope she can grow up well.”
Through the body of the Slime King, the Hero gently placed her hand on the Little Slime, sensing the gradually growing life pulse, the complicated emotions in her heart seemingly scattered with the wind, leaving a piece of tranquility.
Time unconsciously passed by, and the sun gradually rose to its peak.
Until nearly noon, when even the Slime King’s crown became dazzlingly bright, calling out that it was already full, did the Hero stop outputting Magic Power.
The Slime King simulated a girl’s upper body similar to the Hero in appearance, and happily embraced her.
“Alright, alright…” This time, she didn’t get knocked over, and the Hero firmly caught the other.
“Purulululu~” (Thank you, want to eat?)
Then, remembering the Hero’s preference, the Slime King, with a determined and expectant expression, extended a finger, making those Emerald Eyes widen in a shock. (7+eat)

The Hero stole a glance at the Gleaming Scale Serpent, the now experienced housekeeper, who for a moment revealed an expression of hesitation, but quickly turned away.
“Your Majesty, I’ll go check if there are any dangerous Magic Creatures nearby, and also see if there’s anything the nearby village needs help with.”
