“Guoh… What… What is this?!”
Before Princess could finish, the slimes knocked her to the ground.
Her once-relaxed face was now filled with panic as her elegant black-and-gold evening gown dissolved at a visible rate.
Her slender legs flailed helplessly, unable to change the fact that her body was being engulfed by the slimes.
Three pink slimes, their massive forms covering her, writhed unconsciously, making soft, sticky squelching sounds.
Wisps of pink mist continuously emanated from their surfaces.
Silver Fang was about to rush in to save her when Bai Yue Ling held her back: “Wait!”
Ying Ye whispered: “Little White… Any longer, and this is gonna get R-rated.”
Bai Yue Ling explained: “Listen, these pink slimes are beneficial.”
[Name: Cherry Pink Slime]
[Race: Slime]
[Level: 10]
[Description: A highly rare monster, often found deep in Slime Nests, evolved from common slimes. Having captured humanoid creatures multiple times, they’ve developed an inexplicable fondness for them, providing services including but not limited to healing injuries, soothing the mind, and relieving desires. They also supply oxygen within their slime.]
[Note: Don’t linger too long inside them just because it feels good, or they’ll take it as an invitation♡, and you’ll face an assault far fiercer than from ordinary slimes.]
Sure enough, Princess soon stopped struggling, instead curiously and excitedly examining the strange creatures enveloping her.
The warm, sticky slime nourished her body as it moved, slowly easing her physical and mental fatigue.
Her already fair, tender skin took on a glossy sheen, making her even more radiant and alluring.
Ying Ye promptly covered Bai Yue Ling’s eyes: “Beneficial or not, her gear’s still dissolving.”
“Looks comfy. I want to try,” Silver Fang said eagerly. “My armor covers me completely, so I’m not afraid of dissolution.”
She reached out, but the Cherry Pink Slimes dodged, clearly repulsed.
“Cherry Pink Slimes are shy girls. You’ll scare them like that,” Bai Yue Ling said, pushing Ying Ye’s hands away. “We don’t have time to waste. We need to kill the boss fast.”
“Phew—Haven’t felt this good in ages!” Princess poked her head out, utterly satisfied. “This beats any real-world wellness spa. Can I keep them as pets?”
Bai Yue Ling tilted her head: “They can only live in underground caves, but as a Summoner, you can contract them.”
“Done! They agreed super quick,” Princess said, emerging from the slime, shaking her slime-covered fan. “As for the cave… With enough money, anything’s possible, right?”
She could build a house in the cave.
Ying Ye covered Bai Yue Ling’s eyes again: “Put some clothes on already.”
Princess’s black-and-gold gown was mostly dissolved, with only scraps covering key areas.
“What? Isn’t my exquisite figure worth admiring?” Princess, unfazed, twirled her hips and turned to open the chest.
[Equipment Name: Cherry Pink Slime Gown]
[Quality: Perfect]
[Defense: Average]
[Equip Requirement: Charm 20]
[Attribute Bonus: Charm S]
[Description: A gown made from Cherry Pink Slime, offering moderate defense and slowly healing the wearer’s physical and mental fatigue.]
[Note: Having captured too many gown-wearing beauties, this Cherry Pink Slime shaped itself into a gown. Trust it—it’ll dutifully serve as equipment and definitely won’t do anything weird.]
“See? Clothes sorted,” Princess said, donning the slime gown without hesitation.
Surprisingly, the slime merged with the remaining fabric, reforming into a black-and-gold evening gown, though its texture was now slightly sticky compared to the original airy fabric.
“Not bad luck for a low-level,” Bai Yue Ling said, eyeing Princess suspiciously.
She remembered this spot having three ordinary slimes in her past life, not these harmless Cherry Pink Slimes, turning a trap into a reward.
Suddenly, a slime poked out from Bai Yue Ling’s arm armor, slithering to her fingertip and morphing its shape.
At the same time, the Cherry Pink Slimes began changing forms too.
“What’s happening?” Ying Ye asked curiously.
Bai Yue Ling pondered: “Seems like a way slimes communicate.”
The three Cherry Pink Slimes then wriggled forward, pausing occasionally as if waiting for the group to follow.
“Your pet can make them guide us?” Silver Fang asked, amazed.
“Probably because my pet is a ‘Slime Queen’s Avatar,’” Bai Yue Ling analyzed.
“These slimes are split from the dungeon boss, the Slime Queen’s Avatar, so they’re lower in the hierarchy and obey my pet’s commands.”
“You tamed a boss as a pet? That’s insane,” Silver Fang said.
“Hm~ Wanna be my pet too?”
“…I’ll punch you.”
***
Not long after, they encountered Ice and Fire Slimes aggressively approaching.
But through Bai Yue Ling’s pet’s communication, they halted, refraining from attack and joining the Cherry Pink Slimes to guide the group.
Even Third Princess Viki couldn’t have predicted that the toughest route would be cleared by Bai Yue Ling without a scratch.
“Hah~ Games are so much more fun than reality. These slimes are way cuter than my hounds—ohhh!”
Princess gleefully rubbed an orange slime, only for an electric arc to zap her, leaving her eyes rolling and lips parted as if ready to take something in.
“Careful, orange ones are Lightning Slimes,” Bai Yue Ling said, smirking at Princess’s zapped state.
“There’s also Grease Slimes, Mud Slimes, Holy Light Slimes… Basically, any attribute can fuse with a slime.”
Ying Ye asked: “I heard every slime can turn into a cute slime girl. Is that true?”
“No clue… Oh, we’re here.”
Bai Yue Ling stopped at a stone wall. The slimes bounced in place, puzzled by her pause.
“If I remember right, there’s a hidden wall here. It’s a shortcut to the boss room.”
She tapped the wall with her Charm Wound Staff.
With a soft hum, the solid wall dissolved into mist, revealing a passage.
“See? Even the slimes didn’t know about this path,” Bai Yue Ling said, lifting her chin smugly.
“It connects to other routes, so we might run into Blood Era, but our luck shouldn’t be that bad… Huh?”
Across the passage stood four red-clad figures, staring at them wide-eyed.
“Priest Hero?!”
