Chapter 206 [Empire] Slime
I don't know why, but the moment I saw this slime, I felt like I was struck by something, a wave of indescribable sadness welling up in my heart. The sadness came so suddenly, so intensely, it nearly brought me to tears. I stared at it, as if time had stood still at that moment. It was as if I had known it... for a long, long time. I had lived with it for a long, long time...
I couldn't help but want to scratch the rough linen seams with my nails. The pain in my heart was so unbearable.
The pink slime lay there quietly, its tiny cries gradually fading. It seemed to be watching me, as if there were an invisible connection between us, holding us tightly together. I slowly reached out and gently touched its transparent body, and a warm feeling instantly spread throughout my body.
The slime trembled slightly, as if surprised by my touch. It was the feel of a large jelly! The soft touch softened my heart instantly. Its body was cool, yet it carried a warm aura, as if telling me something.
The slime slowly approached me, gently rubbing its tiny body against my fingers. In that moment, I felt a closeness I'd never felt before. Its cry became gentler, as if it were communicating with me. I spoke softly to it, unsure if it could understand, but I believed there was a special connection between us.
I gently held the slime in my palm. It lay there quietly, motionless. I could feel its trust, and that unconditional trust filled my heart. I looked at the colored crystals within its body, as if I had seen a mysterious world...
The man looked at me with understanding in his eyes. He knew I had found the "destined one" I had been searching for. He had felt the same way.
He watched the interaction between me and the slime, a pleased smile on his face.
I walked the slime around the enclosure, and it curiously gazed at everything around it. Whenever it saw something interesting, it would let out a cheerful cry. Occasionally, I would excitedly offer my thoughts on the exotic beast cubs. The slime seemed to listen intently, its body swaying slightly as I spoke.
Sometimes, the slime would suddenly leap up and land on my shoulder. Its weight was so light, yet it weighed heavily on me. It seemed to be asking me to take good care of this tiny life, to protect it from any harm, and to never lose it again, to leave it behind...
We brought the slime to the entrance of the breeding ground to pay. When I learned that the price for this slime was very strange, that it actually required a pair of exotic beast horns, I remembered that the previous cubs seemed to have paid directly in cash.
When the man saw Slime's unusual payment request, a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. He had clearly not expected such a payment method. However, after a moment, he paid without hesitation.
Watching Qin Annan's actions, a warm feeling welled up in my heart. Anything he could carry with him using the Space Link must be either extremely practical or extremely valuable. In short, it must be very important.
After the man paid, he patted my shoulder gently, smiled and said, "Now, it's ours." The slime in my arms seemed to feel the joy and let out a cheerful cry.
I hugged the slime tightly, feeling its soft body. My heart was filled with joy.
