"But a Slime with wisdom can 'cultivate' its split bodies, and the split Slimes can reach low-level or even intermediate levels. However, for a Slime King to cultivate for several months at a time, even to the point where its Magic Power almost runs dry, that's truly unheard of."
The Gleaming Scale Serpent's tone was calm, yet tinged with some sentiment.
Though a few months compared to a human's pregnancy duration is only about a third, there are even more Magic Creatures that require years or even longer to hatch.
But this time, the subject is just a Slime. Even as powerful as the Slime King is, it cannot change the fact that the Slime is a magic creature with a simple structure and generally weak strength. This low-level demon that can split dozens or even hundreds of times a day has held back for nearly several months without completing one split.
This shows the extent of the Slime King's dedication.
"And with Your Majesty's Magic Power supplementing this time, the rank of that Little Slime probably won't be lower than its mother body."
"I don't really care if she's strong or not." The Hero said frustratingly as she brushed aside her windswept fringe.
"But a Slime is, after all, a magic creature. Although the Slime King can mimic a humanoid form, it doesn't even come close to resembling a Demon. I can't just bring them home with me .
"But I'm not too comfortable just leaving them in the wild either. Although I know the Slime King has no predators nearby, if the child injures someone by accident..."
The Hero was immensely conflicted.
Then, she suddenly stopped flying, a spirit light flashed—
"Yes, this could work too!"
A question mark consisting of icy chill emerged on the White Snake's head ornament.

"Warrior, brutish and brainless!"
"Shooter, only has range."
"Thief, overestimates their cleverness."
"Priest, all flowery words."
The boy paused, casting a disdainful glance at the girl who looked at him with admiration, a smirk curling his lips.
Then he lightly raised his hand, magic power summoned air currents, which slithered skillfully like a snake between his fingers.
"And Mages! Only Mages explore the mysteries of magic power, grasp the fundamental logic, and change the construct of the world! Mages manifest their will with rationality, achieve great feats with magic — only the profession of a Mage treads on the path to mastering the world's truth."
With that, the girl mimicked a proud demeanor vividly, stepping forward like a swan, poking a finger at the elegant housekeeper's forehead.
"It's a pity you probably can't appreciate the scenery along this path."
The Hero withdrew her finger, showing a look of pity.
"Hmm, my elder brother used to say that to me."
Before he became completely indifferent to her, her brother would occasionally chat with the Hero, but such conversations became fewer as she grew older.
"Is, is that so." The mature-looking Gleaming Scale Serpent managed to return a smile, lowering his head, though a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Although he has been almost constantly by the Hero's side since she left home and has some understanding of her previous situation at home, he never got a direct description from her.
But now it seems that Your Majesty's other relatives don't appear to be as respectable as Grandfather...
Unaware of the Gleaming Scale Serpent's coldness not directed at her, the Hero nodded enthusiastically.
As long as there is enough wisdom and magic power, a Mage is omnipotent. Although the Hero is not entirely convinced by this idea, on the eve of returning home, this sentence was the first to surface in her mind.
"Yeah, although I was indeed clueless about magic when I was young, now both you and I have become stronger, and you've even become an Elemental Spirit. I know Elemental Spirit's magic is amazing. So, I have an idea—"
