CHAPTER 361: CHAPTER 202: THE DEMON KING IS A TREASURE TROVE

At night, the elf maiden stared blankly at Shami.

She had just been about to complain to Shami about her diminished presence, but unexpectedly received a reassuring answer, making her prepared complaints unnecessary.

"Even the voice has become adorable! Of course, it’s true!"

Shami nodded earnestly, replying in a suppressed voice.

Compared among the four girls, only the flat golden-haired elf identity was the most benevolent.

No matter where two people were, as long as there was an elf beside him, ninety percent of people wouldn’t believe the two were bad, and most gazes would fall on the flat golden-haired one.

The flat golden-haired one had almost become an indispensable attention-diverting artifact for the demon king’s daily walks.

Disturbed by the flat golden-haired one for a while, Shami didn’t feel sleepy at all and checked the time.

Although it wasn’t exactly midnight, it was time to act.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you somewhere."

"Eh, to a bar?"

Thinking of the only place to take a girl so late at night, the elf maiden immediately thought of a bar, believing it was the only reasonable place to get a girl drunk.

"Just follow me."

Shami stood up from the sofa, opened the Teleportation Gate, pulled along the flat golden-haired elf, and the two walked through the Teleportation Gate, leaving the inn.

Not long after the two left, there was movement at the door.

A white-haired girl tiptoed, sneaking out of the room.

Barbecue was consumed during the day, the stomach gets hungry at night.

Shami must be hungry by now, too.

Holding ketchup and salad dressing in her hands, the white-haired girl prepared to tie Shami up in her room to enjoy a midnight snack.

But when she reached the living room, she found no one there.

"Did they go to exercise? Poor Shami, having to sleep on the sofa."

Seeing the thin blanket on the sofa, the white-haired girl sighed pitifully.

"Such a thin blanket, it must be cold at night. I’ll just give you my blanket."

With changing circumstances, the white-haired girl, prepared with blankets in both hands, carried her own blanket from her bed and laid it on the sofa, while hugging Shami’s thin blanket, burying her head in it and taking a deep breath.

"But I won’t take just anyone’s blanket. Check complete, no bad smell. In exchange, your blanket is mine~ After all, I’ve been sleeping naked these last couple of days, so the blanket isn’t dirty at all."

The white-haired girl quickly ran back to her room, covering herself with Shami’s blanket, continuing her sleeping habit of the last two days.

——

"It’s Yili Village after all!"

The flat golden-haired one looked ahead in surprise.

Now the place where they were was none other than the Maple Forest Clearing they were both most familiar with.

[Woke up too suddenly, seeing Shami and Lureya together at night... cough cough...]

The vines of the Wisteria Tree Spirit trembled.

"Good evening, Old Tree Spirit."

Shami greeted.

[The two of them alive... wasn’t Shami supposed to go to Saint Karno City? Lureya too, wasn’t she supposed to return to the Elf Forest cough cough...]

"Ah, something came up suddenly and I had to come back." Shami explained.

[My birthday is a long way off cough cough...]

"Don’t always think we’re back just to visit you! How do you even calculate an old tree’s birth date, from when it sprouts or from when the seed is planted?"

Shami instructed the flat golden-haired elf to get some Water of Life for the Wisteria Tree Spirit.

"Old Tree Spirit Grandpa, here’s the Water of Life: Intense Edition."

The flat golden-haired elf poured a bottle of Water of Life, and the Wisteria Tree’s aged vines regained some vigor, with slightly less cracking on the trunk.

[This fortified version of the Water of Life is especially sweet cough cough...]

"Actually, it’s just the hot spring water that male elves soak in during their hot spring baths."

The elf maiden explained.

[Don’t want male elves’ Water of Life, don’t want male elves’ Water of Life cough cough...]

"Just drink the Water of Life properly without trying to escape! A good medicine tastes bitter, this is a rare nutritional potion!"

Shami noticed the Wisteria Tree Spirit attempting to secretly move its roots underground, seemingly wanting to avoid the ground being watered by the Water of Life, and went over to deliver an elbow strike to the trunk.

The Wisteria Tree Spirit went back to sleep.

Shami took the flat golden-haired elf to the Slime Nest.

This time, he brought the flat golden-haired elf back to Yili Village to select a suitable Slime as the pet he promised to bring to Saint Karno School.

The Slime Nest was already full, with many slimes sleeping on the clearing in front of the cave entrance, the bright moonlight spilling over their surface, appearing like clusters of crystalline blue water balls.

As Shami approached, the largest Slime Leader Jelly in the center of the slime group was the first to sense his arrival, bouncing over.

Shami patted the surface of the Jelly.

[Name: Jelly]

[Species: Magical Creature · Ordinary Magical Creature · Slime]

[Level: 47]

"Finally reached level 47, huh."

Shami sighed with emotion.

The level cap for ordinary magical creatures is only 50. After level 40, leveling up becomes increasingly difficult.

Level 47 was already a particularly high level; after level 45, each level gained significantly increases the independent intelligence of ordinary magical creatures.

The Jelly was now completely capable of independently coordinating the development of the entire Slime Tribe.

Shami asked the Jelly to help select a slime from the Slime Tribe.

"Help me pick one with good adaptability, not too aggressive, likes to sleep a lot, and preferably a bit foolish."

The slime needed to meet these conditions because considering it would later be showcased at school and in class, Shami thought for a long time and still felt that a chill and obedient slime was most suitable for the role.
