The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

Meilan happily turned around to pet the Slime King, and said to it in a serious tone, "From now on, you'll be my little brother! Chef Lorenvie will definitely fatten you up even more!"

Lorenwei had just pulled out a magic crystal when she heard this and exclaimed, "Be your own show-off, raise your own magical pet!"

"Plop! Plop!" The slime seemed to only then notice Lorenwei, and its body suddenly trembled, splashing her face with hot spring water again.

Lorenvi, her cheeks dripping with water, said gloomily to Meilan, "I'm not helping you collect magical pets anymore. I'm considering selling a dragon for a blue condom..."

Chapter 124 The Ruby Ring That Lorenwei Doesn't Care About, But Sylph Values

Meilan didn't understand: "What is a blue condom?"

"It's like a raincoat for a dragon, or maybe a small raincoat," Lorenwei explained casually.

She was very unhappy after being splashed with hot spring water by the slime twice.

Fortunately, the hot spring water looked like a white, murky liquid, but it didn't appear white and thick when poured on the body, otherwise it would have been even more frustrating.

If Lorenwei were renamed Qingtian (Azure Sky), she would be like a certain JPG: A few drops of clear porridge stain her pretty face, a few drops of turbid soup fall onto her chest. Why not bend the bow and shoot the long-beaked bird, a line of white dew rising to the azure sky?

"I want the Slime King as my pet, please teach me!" Melanie begged Lorenwei.

"You just want to play."

"I don't want to play around."

"So you call your magical creatures 'pets'?"

Meilan's attitude was very good: "I was wrong, it was a magical pet."

Lorenvi was still unhappy: "It was so eager to become my pet before, do you want it to fall for someone else?"

Meilan pouted: "This isn't about falling in love with someone else. Slimes don't have genders, and I get along really well with it."

Lorenwei snorted: "You probably just like her because she's big and bouncy, that's not real affection."

Meilan, who is usually very innocent, said, "You and Kula are always together, isn't it because you like her because she's big and bouncy?"

"..." Lorenwei wished she could quickly cover her mouth.

Kula slapped her forehead beside him.

Sylph looked gloomy, her arms crossed over her chest in an impatient manner, but her arms were used to prop up her chest even higher.

"Just let me take it as my magical pet, okay? Please?" Meilan started to grab Lorenwei's arm and act coquettishly.

Lorenwei was quite taken aback by Meilan's girlish demeanor, a departure from her usual straightforward nature.

Even Kurara and Sylph stared wide-eyed.

Sylph wondered, "Is Melanie someone who can act cute? I always felt like she was just a glutton who would fight someone over a grilled rib."

Kurara smiled wryly: "I'm reminded of a principle I read in a book. Once a person has a desire, they can do anything. She wanted it, so she could."

Sylph chimed in, "Considering her views on love, perhaps she really isn't simple."

Their opinion of Meilan had changed somewhat; they felt that this girl wasn't just a simple, naive girl...

Lorenwei's arm was gently tugged by Meilan, occasionally rubbing against her not-so-full chest.

"Alright, considering how you've been acting all cute with your chest—no, I mean because you had such a profound understanding of love before—I'll help you." Lorenwei agreed, "Okay, then you have to keep it under control and not mess around."

“Okay!” Meilan readily agreed.

"It might eat a lot every day, can you afford to feed it?"

"I'll give it half of every meal I eat!"

Lorenwei teased her, "What if it's not enough?"

"Give it 80%! No, 90% is fine!"

Lorenwei laughed and said, "You only eat one-tenth of your usual amount of food, aren't you afraid of starving to death?"

"I can increase my appetite!"

Lorenwei: "..."

She's smart, not stupid. Kurara and Sylph were speechless.

"I hope you get along well." Lorenwei took out a ruby ​​ring from her spatial ring.

"A ring?" Sylph's eyes suddenly lit up as she stared intently at Lorenvie.

Returning to the familiar place, the old feelings that had not yet cooled were rekindled. Although she had many doubts about the person she liked being a girl, Sylph immediately took notice of the sensitive item Lorenve had brought out, her eyes fixed on the ruby ​​ring.

At that moment, Sylph felt her heart skip a beat.

She was lost in thought, inexplicably feeling like she was fantasizing: Was this ring a gift for her? It was as if that fool would kneel before her at any moment, clumsily offering her the ring…

But the next moment, Sylph's rapidly beating heart stopped:

The ring has been removed!

With a touch of magical heat, Lorenwei used her bare hands to disassemble the metal band of the ring and remove the ruby.

"Ah!" Siruf exclaimed.

Kurala also felt it was a pity: "Why did you take apart such a nice ring?"

“There’s no individual ruby, so what can we do if we don’t disassemble it?” Lorenwei asked calmly.

Sylph: "..."

Kurara sighed helplessly, "Sometimes, I feel that Lorenve is even more straightforward than Meilan..."

Lorenwei looked puzzled; women inexplicably valued this kind of thing.

Meilan urged, "Hurry, hurry, teach me how to sign a pet contract?"

Lorenwei began providing on-site instruction.

Melan had a natural talent for magic. Although she had never received formal instruction, Lorenwei taught her diligently, and she learned carefully. In addition, contract magic was simpler, since it was a ritualistic signing of an agreement, and she actually learned it on the spot.

Lorenwei mentally grumbled that the magic of pet contracts in this world was a bit like a wedding ceremony.

The magic circuit method is essentially asking both parties: "Whether you are poor or rich, sick or healthy, are you willing to sign a magical pet contract?" Then both parties answer "yes," and that's it...

The old woman standing nearby exclaimed in astonishment, "You guys are really amazing! You didn't just drive away the Slime King, but subdued it with ease?"

Watching Lorenve teach Melanie to subdue monsters from scratch, Kurara and Sylph both felt that she was even more amazing than the school teachers.

Kurara: "Lorenvie, your boundless magical power is no boast, and you are not inferior in front of the bishop."

“Of course, my mother is a bishop, a cardinal at that.” Lorenwei muttered, but she was still very pleased with the compliment, and the ahoge on her forehead swayed a few more times.

Meilan urged, "Teach me quickly!"

“Come, follow my instructions and infuse your spiritual energy into this ruby,” Lorenwei instructed Meilan.

Meilan pressed the button to operate.

The ruby ​​emitted a dazzlingly bright light and slowly rose into the air.

"Puyo! Puyo!" The Slime King seemed to have a real connection with Melan, happily jumping over on its own initiative. It no longer paid attention to its former beloved master, Lorenwei, but instead leaned towards Melan and got close to the ruby ​​together.

The contract was established, and the ruby ​​transformed into a beam of light that shot into the sky before plummeting down, striking the center of the Slime King's virtual face and forming something resembling an inlaid gemstone.

"Wow! I feel like I have a mental connection with it!" Meilan exclaimed. "Its name is Puyo!"

Pfft? Still trying to fool me... Lorenwei and the others watched as Meilan jumped onto the Slime King and curiously touched the ruby ​​on its forehead.

The virtual face of King Slime, Puyo, was also full of smiles, jumping lightly and happily, this time without splashing the hot spring again.

"Huh? It seems its crown can..." Meilan reached out and touched the Slime King's crown.

The golden crown emitted a faint light and suddenly transformed into a golden bracelet, attaching itself to Meilan's arm.

The Slime King suddenly disappeared, and Melan cried out as she fell into the hot spring pool.

"Huh? This is the function of storing the Slime King?! I've seen it in a book." Kurara exclaimed in surprise.

Meilan looked at the pattern on the gold bracelet on her wrist, then shook it to feel its weight, and was very happy: "It's not heavy at all, so it's very convenient to take it around!"

She quickly ran to the other side of the hot spring pool behind a large tree, and using the method she knew through telepathy, she shook her arm. In an instant, the Slime King appeared next to the tree, still the same size, but without his crown.

Meilan shook her wrist again, and the Slime King was taken back.

"Haha! This is so much fun!" Melanie exclaimed, shaking her wrist again, but this time she released the Slime King while clinging to the tree. Then she quickly hid on the opposite side of the thick tree trunk, deliberately concealing herself.

"Puyo? Puyo?" After the Slime King Chong reappeared, he didn't see his master and looked around in confusion.

"Whoosh—!" Melan jumped out from behind the tree, startling the Slime King.

The large blue slime trembled in fright and burst into many smaller slimes, which fell to the ground and scattered everywhere, jumping around in a large group.

"Huh? Pfft, you can split!?" Meilan exclaimed with surprise and curiosity. "And can you put them back together?"

The numerous slimes immediately began to gather together, quickly merging back into a new slime, which then proudly cried out, "Puyo—!"

"Hahaha! This is so much fun!"

Meilan flicked her wrist and took the Slime King back, then quickly released it again.

"Whoosh—! Pfft, I'm hiding here!"

However, this time she jumped up into the tree early and then jumped down when King Slime was looking around, startling him.

Then he laughed and played around with a bunch of little slimes.

Lorenwei: "...Who just said it was a magical pet, not a pet?"

Kurara: "Okay, let me correct you, Meilan really is a naive and innocent girl."

Sylph: "Indeed, great foolishness appears as wisdom..."

Anyway, the slime problem is solved.

Lorenwei used her spatial ring to store everyone's equipment and said to the landlady, "We'll take it with us when we leave, so you don't need to worry."

"Thank you so much! As expected of the daughter of a hero, you solved the problem without even fighting. I was worried that a fight would damage the house and cause great losses!" The landlady thanked her profusely. Next, she told the two children to prepare some more hot dishes to entertain them.

"Meilan, play for a while and then we'll go eat," Lorenwei called to Meilan.

"You guys go ahead, we'll play for a bit first." Meilan and the slime were playfully fighting.

Kurara laughed and said, "Let's go back and have some more food. Lorenwei, you should also change your clothes. You need to be careful not to catch a cold, and also be careful that you're not showing too much skin."
