Me? A slime? A villain who destroys a nation? Fine!

Seeing the little vixen's expression and demeanor, Lin Ming somewhat recalled how she had let something slip last night.

No wonder she hasn't been as lively these past few days.

Lin Ming simply put down his work, his face covered in lime, and came to the cave entrance: "I'll go check on her then, I just stopped here."

Lin Ming wasn't a heartless person. Although this slime mom wasn't his biological mother, she seemed to treat him better than his own mother from beginning to end.

She gave Lin Ming a lot of help, which Lin Ming will never forget. Without her, Lin Ming might not have become a slime and survived here again.

"Let's go, what are you standing there for?" Lin Ming pulled the little vixen into his arms and carried her away in his slimy little hands.

The little fairy blushed helplessly. Although the other person was always disrespectful to her, she didn't dislike it.

"So you can't tell me about Slime Mom's situation, or how I can help her? Oh, by the way, I found a black-clad nun in that corrupted church yesterday. She seemed to be controlling the slime and ghouls last night. Want to come take a look?"

"Ahhh?" The little fairy was so frightened that she hugged her face tightly.

"Nephew, don't pick up everything! What if you end up like your older sister? I can't bear it..." As she spoke, the little fairy's eyes reddened, filled with worry.

Seeing that the little fairy knew nothing about these things, Lin Ming did not take her to see the nun for the time being, but instead took her quickly to the slime mother's place.

But as soon as he entered the forest, Lin Ming sensed a tremendous change in the forest.

Half of the once lush forest has turned gray and black. The pollutants that were initially confined to behind the Slime Mother's throne have now spread outwards and spread around the throne.

On the throne, the slime mother who always smiled gently at him couldn't maintain that smile today.

The other person was sleeping soundly on the throne, looking quite weak.

Lin Ming finally panicked and quickly rolled over, grabbing close to the slime mother with the little fairy.

As Lin Ming leaped over, Slime Mother seemed to sense the familiar little thing approaching her territory. Her long eyelashes trembled, and with a weak effort, she slightly opened her eyes.

"Ah... my child, have you come to see your mother? Honestly, to see you like this..." Slime Mother struggled to sit up despite her weakness.

She didn't want Lin Ming to see this, and even kept her arms open as always, wanting to hug Lin Ming.

"Don't force yourself to stand up," Lin Ming said worriedly, jumping onto him. Even his embrace felt much softer than before, and there was even a tremor in it.

Lin Ming, increasingly captivated by the sight, reached out his slime-like hand and smeared it on the face of the slime mother. He then gently lifted her lower lip, carefully observing her already pale lips.

The black cloth covering her eyes with incantations had been removed quite a bit, and the incantations on it seemed to have lost some of their effectiveness, revealing the slime mother's beautiful crimson eyes.

However, the whites of his eyes were surrounded by a large number of black blood vessels.

"Auntie, can't Slime Mommy do what I do?" Lin Ming touched Slime Mommy's thigh, then immediately broke off the contaminated slime and separated it.

So you mean you're planning to break Slime Mom's leg?

"No, nephew, my sister..." The little fairy glanced at her weak-looking slime mother. Although the mother firmly shook her head, telling the little fairy not to say it, the little fairy still bit her lower lip sadly and confessed:

"Big Sister wasn't infected through direct contact. The reason why the Slime Continent has been able to maintain its greenery and resources is because Big Sister is here supporting it. Big Sister is the Slime Continent itself."

The little fairy confessed everything. After all, she couldn't wait any longer. Little Gulu was so smart and powerful; he must have a way to save her older sister. She didn't want to delay any longer.

"My elder sister is a spirit of the earth here. If the earth is polluted, she herself will also be polluted. So as long as she stays here to guard this place, the pollution of the earth will be reflected back on her."

Is that so? Lin Ming was also starting to feel a bit worried. He hadn't expected that he had temporarily overcome the toxins, but now his slime mother was about to succumb to the contamination.

"Can I take Slime Mom with me? I want to take her around to find a way to get rid of the pollution. Surely someone will understand?"

Perhaps the black-clad nun from earlier is the key clue. Lin Ming could go to her to find out more, but he doesn't know if he can get any information out of her.

The slime mother also slightly opened her small mouth, her voice trembling as she said, "Farewell, child... You've already done so much. You're now growing up healthy and strong..."

As always, Slime Mom hugged Lin Ming and gently stroked him in her arms.

Even though her eyes were so tired she could barely keep them open, she didn't want her child to feel uneasy because of her illness.

"If I leave here, the entire continent will suffer. This is my destiny, my child... don't get involved too much."

After saying that, Slime Mother succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep, leaving only her weak hand resting on Lin Ming's head.

As Slime Mom fell asleep, the little elf couldn't hold back any longer and burst into tears: "Waaaaah! No... Big sister, you're leaving! What am I going to do? I can't take care of Little Gooru all by myself! Waaaaaah..."

The fairy burst into tears like a distraught child.

Lin Ming paused for a second, then jumped off his mother's lap. He nudged the little imp to stop her crying.

"Hey, stop crying, I have an idea. Hey, are you listening?"

Lin Ming called out to the little vixen who was crying loudly and ignoring everyone, then lifted her skirt. Only then did the little vixen turn around with a "Wah!"

"Don't lift my skirt in this kind of atmosphere!"

"Isn't it because you're ignoring me? I said I had a plan, but I'm short on magic right now. If I could get some magic, I should be able to dispel some of these infections, right? After all, you said the Great Road is the slime mother herself."

Lin Ming thought about it for a moment and felt that this method should be feasible.

Couldn't he just expel the infected black mud from here? After all, Lin Ming had effectively confronted these black mud pollutants last night.

Since the black water is overflowing from this corrupt church, he should be able to find its source by following the flow of the black water and then eliminate it, just like he did last night.

"Huh? Magic? Nephew, what do you need magic for? You're not exactly a being who can use magic, are you?" The little fairy just looked confused.

"Why not? Things like magic bottles work as long as I consume them. But I don't have any left; I'm completely empty."

Lin Ming spat out several magic bottles, hoping the little fairy would give him some pointers.

"Magic? Auntie, let me think... I remember magic. If you want to acquire it later, you can indeed do so through magic potions. But these things are usually found in human kingdoms, by higher beings, or by mages, right?" The little fairy racked her brains, stroking her chin.

"Oh! There's another kind of magic that's easy to obtain. No need to go to the human world! It's right nearby!"

Suddenly, Xiao Jing's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of some crucial life-saving method.

"Huh? There are such good things?"

Lin Ming was even considering going to Leila to trade for magic bottles. He hadn't expected there to be an even more high-end alternative here.

There's something even faster? What is that? Lin Ming became curious.

To be honest, he was already tired of relying on the small amount of magic potion to replenish his magic power; the amount of magic potion was nowhere near as good as his healing herbs.

Since his mother has magic-related resources, he'd better make the most of them.

"I remember there's a creature nearby that produces a secretion rich in magical power..." The little fairy frowned as she tried to recall.

So what is it?

The little fairy blushed slightly as she spoke, then whispered closer, "Dragon's milk."
