Chapter 315: The Ring of Lust "Charm +100"

"You all wait here. I'll be back soon!"

With that, Li Meng strode confidently into the cavern.

Watching his retreating figure, Amayee, Amay, and Ame felt a little nervous. They had heard the terrifying rumors about the Fallen Slime of Lust.

Meanwhile, Li Meng continued deeper into the cave. After walking about a hundred meters, he reached the end and emerged into a larger chamber.

"So this is the Fallen Slime of Lust?"

In the vast space, Li Meng saw a gigantic pink slime lying dormant like a small mountain. Its diameter was nearly fifty meters.

The moment it noticed Li Meng, its sticky body quivered, and numerous tentacles shot out, aiming for him.

Snap!

Li Meng snapped his fingers, unleashing the power of frost.

A wave of white mist swept across the chamber, freezing the tentacles mid-air. In an instant, the massive slime was encased in ice.

With a flicker, Li Meng leaped into the air, his body darting like a flea. His fist struck the frozen slime squarely.

Boom!

The chamber echoed with a thunderous crash as the ice shattered. The frozen slime disintegrated into countless shards that slammed against the cavern walls like hailstones.

The once-mighty Fallen Slime of Lust vanished into nothingness, reduced to gray ashes by the sheer force of Li Meng's attack.

Landing gracefully amidst the swirling mist, Li Meng dusted himself off.

"As expected, just a minor obstacle."

His attention was then drawn to something glimmering on the ground.

Li Meng bent down and picked it up—a dark golden ring.

[Ring of Lust]

- Charm +100

"A labyrinth magic item that increases charm?"

His eyes lit up as he slipped the ring onto the middle finger of his left hand.

"Not bad for an unexpected reward."

Grinning, Li Meng turned his gaze to a platform at the edge of the chamber. Atop it was a teleportation magic array.

Satisfied, he headed back toward the entrance. His team was still waiting outside.

Back at the cavern entrance...

"He's back! The Boss is back!"

The group perked up as Li Meng emerged from the cavern.

"Let’s go. The Fallen Slime of Lust has been dealt with."

"What? Already?"

"The Boss is amazing!"

"Could he be a god-tier adventurer?"

Amayee, Amay, and Ame quickly ran up to him. As they got closer, their faces flushed simultaneously.

They looked at Li Meng with admiration and affection.

"Boss, why do you suddenly look even more handsome?" Amay asked, her cheeks red with curiosity.

Amayee and Ame nodded in agreement. Somehow, the Boss now exuded an even stronger allure that made people want to be near him.

Having spent so much time with him, the three could sense the subtle change.

Li Meng chuckled, ruffling Ame’s hair.

"Haven’t I always been this handsome?"

Ame giggled, hugging his arm. "True. You've always been the most handsome in my eyes."

"Let’s move!"

Li Meng led the group into the cavern.

---

Inside the Fallen Slime's chamber...

The group reached the teleportation magic array platform.

"Mages, channel your magic into the array. Let’s set off!"

At Li Meng’s command, the mages’ staffs glowed with power. The entire teleportation array lit up, and in a flash of blue light, the hundred-plus members vanished, their forms dissolving into magical energy.

---

At the 40th floor...

In a forest deep within the labyrinth, a teleportation magic array suddenly activated. Blue light filled the area, sending ripples of energy across the forest.

When the light faded, the platform was crowded with the figures of Li Meng and his team.

"A forest? We’ve reached the 40th floor!"

The surrounding environment puzzled Li Meng. A forest in an underground labyrinth? Without sunlight, how could these plants survive?

Looking up, he noticed the ceiling a kilometer above, covered in rocks embedded with glowing white crystals.

"Light Crystals?"

Li Meng’s eyes sparkled with surprise.

The labyrinth truly was a treasure trove. Resources considered strategic assets on the surface, like elemental crystals, were abundant here.

"Boss, I recognize this place. The town is that way!" Bella pointed in a specific direction.

In the labyrinth, there was no way to discern north, south, east, or west.

"Let’s go. Stay together!"

The group moved out, heading toward the town.

---

Through the forest...

As they walked, Li Meng turned to Bella.

"Bella, how are supplies transported to the town?"

He doubted the forest could support agriculture. The plants around them weren’t ordinary—they were alive, with levels indicating they were labyrinth monsters.

"Boss, the labyrinth town relies on merchant guilds. These guilds supply the town and its population of over a million adventurers. As the only base in the deep labyrinth, the town is a massive source of profit for the guilds.

"Many have their own secret tunnels to transport goods. However, due to the difficulty of reaching the 40th floor, prices in the town are ten times higher than in the labyrinth city."

"Ten times?" Li Meng was taken aback. No wonder the guilds found it worthwhile.

The group eventually left the forest and entered a grassland.

---

On the grassland...

"The floor boss here is a plant monster called the Spirit-Draining Demon Tree," Bella explained as they walked.

"To defeat it, god-tier adventurers often oversee the operation.

"The plants you see here are all monsters. If the Demon Tree respawns, these plants become extremely dangerous. Even the grass beneath our feet could turn into blades."

Her words startled Amayee, Amay, and Ame. They instinctively moved closer to Li Meng.

Without monster interference, the group moved leisurely across the grassland.

Li Meng’s subordinates chatted and laughed, while Li Meng himself enjoyed the magical breeze.

---

Suddenly, Bella spoke up.

"Boss!"

"What’s wrong?" Li Meng asked, glancing at her.

Her face was slightly flushed as her hand rested lightly on her stomach.

"I... I think I’m pregnant."

As a Sword King, Bella could sense the life growing within her. Over the past month, she had only been with Li Meng, leaving no doubt about the child’s parentage.
