Except for the Slime King and Queen, slimes dressed in various official uniforms lined up in two rows, standing on the left and right sides of the hall.
Under the leadership of Helot, Yang Yu and his group saluted and greeted the Slime King.
The largest blue slime's body was filled with bubbles, and it emitted a human voice:
"No need to be polite."
As soon as the Slime King finished speaking, all the slime officials began to wriggle, swell and deform, changing into a half-human, half-slime sticky posture. They were no different from the humanoid slimes that appeared in most games. It was simply a paradise for slime lovers.
He Meng, whose whole body is dyed and looks no different from humans, seems to be out of tune with them and quite alien.
By the way, are these slimes specially transformed into human form
Is it because it is easier to communicate with us that it becomes like this, or is there some other reason that it has to become like this when facing humans
The huge Slime King turned into a middle-aged man, and sat on the throne hand in hand with the Slime Queen who turned into a beautiful lady, both of their eyes were on He Meng.
Even if He Meng didn't reveal her identity, all the slimes knew who she was.
"He Meng."
Being called suddenly, He Meng, who was hiding behind Yang Yu, moved reluctantly and greeted his parents:
"Father, Mother, long time no see.
I'm sorry to have worried you.
But there is a reason why I haven't been back for so long.
Please listen to my explanation.”
The Slime King glared at He Meng fiercely:
"what reason
When you were little, we told you that it was dangerous outside and you must never sneak out.
Even if you go outside, you must not leave a certain area.
The results of it
You suddenly disappeared, and even ran away like a stowaway, regardless of your own life or death. Do you know how worried we were
Do you know how much time and energy we spent looking for you? "
He Meng lowered his head and apologized quickly:
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Father, I know I was wrong, but there really is a reason. Can you wait for me to finish explaining the reason?"
The Slime King was about to continue scolding, but when he saw his wife giving him a reproachful look, he paused for a moment.
Seizing the opportunity, Helot intervened in time and said:
"Father, a blessing in disguise. Although my sister's sudden disappearance has caused us a lot of trouble, it is not entirely a bad thing.
As you can see, He Meng is already able to perfectly simulate the human form, which is something that many high-level slimes cannot do.
After going through all kinds of hardships outside, she is no longer the same as before.
I can feel that she is now much better than those scholars we taught in a conventional way.
In addition, on the long journey back, He Meng must have paid a heavy price for his own presumptuous behavior.
She has come back after going through so much hardship, please give her the warmth of a family member and stop criticizing her."
The Slime King was silent for a long time, slowly calming down his temper, giving himself and He Meng a way out:
"He Meng, now let's see what you have learned outside
If you just keep being protected by them and come back here without any growth...
I won't be satisfied.
You have wasted more than three years. I don't want my child to live like a fool.
But if your performance exceeds my expectations, I will forgive you for leaving the Slime Kingdom without permission."
He Meng patted his chest, confidently saying, "Then I'll let you see how I am different from before."
Afterwards, He Meng began to demonstrate in the hall what he had learned in the past few years.
The first thing He Meng demonstrated was her ability to transform at will. She could suddenly become an exquisite high-rise building, then a huge tiger, and many other things that the slime had never seen before and were not recorded in books.
Then, He Meng continued to show off his acquired skills like an acrobat, causing the surrounding slime officials to applaud.
Even the Slime King was extremely surprised.
He Meng was very smart when he was a child, but he just didn't like to study seriously.
Other royal slimes would get the best grades in school, but He Meng had no interest at all. He was like a salted fish, living a mediocre life, and he failed the elementary school graduation test with a low score.
Because when he was a child, Hermione was a treasure and the apple of the eye of the Slime King and Queen, so they indulged Hermione's laziness and willfulness.
After He Meng disappeared, they became extremely anxious and finally realized that there was something wrong with their educational philosophy and they felt extremely regretful about it.
After He Meng's trip to the outside world, he became so hardworking and learned so many things. The Slime King was so grateful that he burst into tears.
But as a king, he must always maintain his dignity, especially in front of outsiders, and must not show any doting towards He Meng.
He Meng has finally come back and has grown up. If I run over to hug He Meng now and say, "Daddy misses you so much. Daddy really wants to hold you on my head and play with you like we used to", not only will I lose my dignity, but He Meng, who has finally grown up, might also become as willful as before.
Therefore, the Slime King has been trying his best to endure. For the sake of his daughter's growth, he, as a father, has to educate his daughter strictly.
He Meng's growth was beyond his imagination. The Slime King could not even imagine how much pain such a growth would require.
The Slime King's first reaction was heartache, but he absolutely could not show this heartache, so he could only continue to keep a stern face and watch He Meng's performance.
Seeing that the Slime King was indifferent, the slime ministers on the side suddenly pleaded for He Meng.
Some of these ministers are anthropologists who covet what He Meng sees and hears during his travels in the outside world; some of them like fighting and covet He Meng's military strength and want to understand how He Meng became so strong.
The Slime King sighed and said to He Meng:
"You have indeed grown. Since so many people have pleaded for you, I will not pursue the matter this time. This will not happen again."
Maintaining his kingly demeanor, the Slime King turned his gaze towards Yang Yu and said:
“Next
Thank you for sending my daughter back here. I will give you corresponding rewards later."
Yang Yu bowed again and stated his request:
"Your Majesty, I am very happy that you can reward us, but compared to the actual reward, I need the help of your slime clan more."
Before Yang Yu finished speaking, the Slime King rejected him without hesitation:
"If you want us to go to the ground, please allow me to refuse!"
