Wu Menghan’s heart skipped a beat; the moment their eyes met, she sensed trouble.
“Run!”
Without another word, she grabbed Xiaxiaoling and retreated. The next second, the spot where they had just been standing was covered in pink Slime Girl mucus.
Wu Menghan felt her scalp tingle. If she’d been even half a beat slower, both she and Xiaxiaoling would’ve been finished here.
Not daring to tangle with these people, the two of them quickly ran downhill.
Just then, a voice suddenly sounded by their ears.
“Ladies, where do you think you’re going?”
It was as if a gust of wind had blown past; out of the corner of her eye, she caught a flash of shadow. In the next moment, that woman was already standing before them.
“Oh? We meet again.”
A smile played at Eno’s lips, her eyes full of appreciation.
“Not bad, you’ve improved so quickly. But even now, you still can’t match me, you know.”
Coming to a halt, Wu Menghan stared at the person before her, her expression grave.
“Heh, you again. Speak—why did you capture Vivi?!”
Eno raised her eyebrows, looking at her with meaningful eyes.
“Oh? And what’s your relationship with her? Family? Friend?”
Wu Menghan pursed her lips. With a tremble of the hands she’d been hiding behind her back, two balls of flame shot straight toward Eno.
Fire flared—but Eno’s figure was nowhere to be seen.
“Where—where is she!?”
Wu Menghan’s pupils shrank as a beam of light rapidly expanded in her vision.
Pssst~
Mucus sprayed onto the blade, making a sizzling sound.
Twisting her body, Wu Menghan managed to avoid the mucus, but she still felt like she’d barely escaped with her life.
It was all thanks to her older brother, who’d always taught her self-defense. Many moves were already ingrained in her instincts.
Otherwise, this time, she might really have been done for.
“Yo? Not bad. I wonder if you’ll survive what comes next.”
The voice rang out from the other side, followed by several more mucus balls.
They were simply too fast, giving Wu Menghan no time to dodge.
Besides, if she tried to evade, Xiaxiaoling at her side would suffer.
“Shield, activate!”
Bang, bang, bang∼
The translucent shield flickered a few times, but in the end, it managed to withstand Eno’s attack, letting her breathe a sigh of relief.
Beside her, Xiaxiaoling was already at a loss for what to do after witnessing all this.
Fortunately, she had already called the police. It shouldn’t be long before the officers arrived.
“Yes, you really have improved a lot.”
Eno was very satisfied with the girl’s performance before her.
This was a promising seedling, on par with Vivi. If she could also turn her into a Slime Girl, the world would surely belong to the Slime Girls.
Licking her crimson lips, Eno’s gaze shifted behind Wu Menghan—where the little Slime Girls had already gathered.
“Sisters, surround them.”
“Okay~”
The girls’ crisp voices rang out in unison, trapping the two of them in the center.
Wu Menghan’s brow furrowed tightly as her gaze inadvertently swept across the blue-haired girl.
She was charming, a little over 1.6 meters tall, and her delicate little face was easy to remember.
But Wu Menghan’s attention wasn’t on her, but on the little loli in her arms—Vivi.
Whether unconscious or just asleep, Vivi hadn’t stirred at all; she seemed eerily quiet.
A sense of foreboding rose in Wu Menghan’s heart. There was no way to escape now—they could only hold out and wait for reinforcements.
Taking a deep breath, she prepared to focus all her strength on her shield.
It was then that she saw Vivi’s hand move.
All the mucus on her body had already been completely absorbed by Vivi, and her power had grown a little stronger.
Vivi’s eyes opened to a narrow slit, and she saw the two trapped in the middle, her heart filling with anxiety.
Her unconsciousness was just an act; she was fully aware of her surroundings.
But it still wasn’t time for her to make a move—the appointed moment hadn’t come yet.
If she messed up the plan now…
As she was thinking this, she saw countless mucus balls being hurled at Wu Menghan.
Vivi’s pupils contracted, and her body trembled instinctively.
What a load of crap—she couldn’t wait any longer. Her sister was in danger!
Her anxiety reached its peak; with her sister about to get hurt, she had no time for anything else.
“Ah? Vivi-sis…?”
Feeling the person in her arms move, she instinctively hugged Vivi tighter.
“Don’t be afraid, big sis is here.”
Vivi twitched at the corner of her mouth.
Who’s your big sis?! I’m a guy! I’m a guy, a guy!
Shouting this in her heart, Vivi abruptly opened her eyes wide, her pink pupils locking onto the girl before her.
The sudden change startled her, and just as she was about to speak, she felt a powerful force strike her chest.
Her grip loosened, and Vivi landed steadily on her feet.
She looked at the ones besieging Wu Menghan, a strange red glint flashing in her eyes.
“Oh? Are you planning to attack your own kind?”
At her side, that blood-colored figure appeared once more.
Vivi looked coldly at her, a mocking smile at her lips.
“I… have never considered them my kind.”
“All right, all right. You’ll understand someday anyway.”
Blood Wei shrugged helplessly, saying nothing more.
Vivi took a deep breath, and two ice crystals appeared in her hands.
“Die, all of you!”
Boom! Boom!
Powerful magic stirred up a violent storm. At its center, the two Slime Girls didn’t even have time to react before they were frozen into ice sculptures by the terrifying magic.
Even Eno, observing the battle from nearby, was shocked by this power.
She glanced over instinctively, only to see Vivi staring right back at her, wide-eyed.
Huh? How did she break free? My restraint should have held her much longer.
Besides… there was something off about Vivi’s state. This situation…
A possibility dawned on her, and she looked at Wu Menghan and Xiaxiaoling.
“So that’s it, so that’s it. You two are the ones she cares about most? Or is it just one of you?”
“But no matter. I’ll just turn you both into Slime Girls.”
At these words, both Wu Menghan and Xiaxiaoling were stunned.
Especially Wu Menghan, who focused entirely on the first sentence, giving Vivi a complex look, her heart thumping wildly.
Does she care about me? Or maybe… she cares about Teacher Xia?
Wu Menghan wasn’t sure, but for some reason, her heart felt warm.
Eno gave them no time to think. Magic was already gathering in her palm.
Sensing the magical fluctuations, Vivi turned to look at her. The warmth rising from deep in her heart was quickly smothered by anger.
She said nothing, just recalled what Irena had taught her before, and gently pushed out with both hands.
Two bursts of flame shot straight at Eno.
The power of this spell far exceeded Wu Menghan’s.
Eno had no choice but to condense her magic into a shield to block Vivi’s attack.
Taking advantage of this opening, Vivi turned to the other two Slime Girls and unleashed her ice magic at them.
But this time, the effect was clearly not as good as before; the two Slime Girls, though newly born and still fragile, had been strengthened by Eno and could now withstand Vivi’s magic.
By now, Eno had already regained her composure. Vivi knew she couldn’t drag this out any longer—or things would only get worse.
Thanks for the chapter!
