Inside He Meng's body, Bai Jin felt like she was trapped inside a water ball. She hurriedly covered her mouth but didn't feel the difficulty in breathing as she had imagined.

About one or two minutes later, He Meng spat Bai Jin out, returning to its original round form.

Gasping heavily, Bai Jin propped herself up with her magic wand, a rare trace of anger in her eyes:

"He Meng, you gave me a fright. Don't pounce on me like that, at least give me some mental preparation..."

He Meng didn't respond. Its round body immediately started boiling like hot water, rising rapidly and suddenly expanding.

First, limbs and a head appeared, then each part began to differentiate, becoming more and more detailed.

He Meng's current form looked exactly like the common Slime Girl in games, with a light blue, translucent gel-like body, appearing sticky and damp.

The skill [Mimicry] can imitate the shapes of most objects, but can only replicate their shapes.

The effect of [Mimicry] varies depending on the demon. Even among the same species, [Mimicry] manifests differently on them; for instance, when mimicking humans, some turn into half-muddy people, while others are exquisite like craftworks.

The book didn't mention the reason.

The form He Meng took made Bai Jin feel like she was facing a colorless version of herself when confronting He Meng.

Suddenly, He Meng's light blue translucent body adopted a skin tone, with the hair turning sky blue, and the "clothing" it wore also took on color.

At first glance, it looked as if a blue-haired Bai Jin had appeared out of thin air in the room.

He Meng raised its hands, opening and closing, nodding and shaking its head to adapt to its body.

Yang Yu, crossing his arms, looked on with satisfaction like an old father:

"According to Sena, after the Slimes learn those two skills, they need to spend a long time practicing before they can fully master them and transform into the form they desire.

Indeed, as expected of a Royal Slime, it managed to master these two skills so swiftly.

He Meng, you have been with us for quite a while. You should have picked up some human language by now.

Say whatever you want to say, don't hesitate."

Upon hearing Yang Yu's voice, He Meng looked up and stared intently at Yang Yu, attempting to say something, but could only utter "woo woo" sounds.

Yang Yu frowned. If he had a cigarette, he would have lit it, holding it between his forefinger and middle finger, looking utterly disillusioned, sighing at the smoke.

Indeed, stories are deceptive; there are no demons that can speak right after turning human.

In stories, it often occurs that in uninhabited mountains and forests, after animals or demons take human form, they immediately speak fluent human language, making one wonder if those demons or animals have received some education somewhere, or what conspiracy theories might be involved.

Yang Yu shook his head bitterly: "Is human language too complex for Slimes?

Perhaps from the beginning, any hope that Slimes would speak should not have been held.

It's unavoidable, you'll have to learn slowly over time.

Although it will take more time, you must learn.

All of this is for you and your country.

Even if we understand each other, if you don't express your thoughts directly, it's quite difficult for me to handle."

Upon hearing what Yang Yu said, He Meng, transformed into Bai Jin's form, darkened its expression and silently approached Yang Yu step by step, then held Yang Yu's left hand with both hands.

Everything happened too suddenly, and Yang Yu's body stiffened.

Clearly a Slime, but He Meng's body was not cold; it had the same temperature as an ordinary person.

Currently, He Meng was wearing Bai Jin's skin.

This scene made Yang Yu flash back to that night when Benliang City was in flames.

His heart started racing uncontrollably.

Realizing something was wrong, Yang Yu began pondering how to get He Meng to let go, but he couldn't process the thought when he realized this might be He Meng's way of expressing its feelings.

"Speaking of which, why did He Meng choose Bai Jin as the form, could it be it sensed my affection for Bai Jin...

It has feelings for me, so it thought transforming into Bai Jin's form would make me more attracted?

When did He Meng start being so indifferently warm towards me, was it after Bai Jin joined the team...

It was jealousy, after all..."

When people are flustered, they tend to overthink.

Happy thoughts often lean in one's favor; negative moods tend towards one's own disadvantage.

Yang Yu was no exception.

This was one of the few times Yang Yu would be flustered; he sneaked a glance at Bai Jin from the corner of his eyes, yet before seeing the expression on Bai Jin's face, the next second, He Meng raised Yang Yu's hand and bit down hard on it.

That day.

Yang Yu let out a wail he hadn't made in a long time.

His mind cleared all of a sudden, Yang Yu's gaze sharpened, and he grabbed He Meng's forehead with his other hand, exerting force with both hands to try to pry open He Meng's mouth.

He Meng kept punching Yang Yu's chest and stomach.

However, Yang Yu had already enhanced his defense, entering a combat status.

He Meng had high defense but weak attack, no matter how she struggled and exerted force, she couldn't break through Yang Yu's defense.

Bai Jin watched this scene from the side, finding it somewhat strange, as if Yang Yu wasn't prying open He Meng's mouth but his own mouth. She covered her face with both hands, peeking through her fingers at the tussle between Yang Yu and He Meng.

It took quite some effort for Yang Yu to finally pry open He Meng's mouth, drawing his hand out, and He Meng instantly deflated like a punctured ball, reverting to her original form, turning her body away angrily.

He Meng left behind a row of bright red teeth marks, Yang Yu shook his hand, pretending nothing happened, concluding:

"I know the problem with He Meng not being able to speak.

Though having teeth, not to mention the throat, even the tongue won't move.

He Meng indeed uses [Mimicry], rather than replication, much like mimicry in the natural world."

Bai Jin and Iyas both tilted their heads, puzzled, "Mimicry in the natural world?"

"Some caterpillars mimic snakes to prevent being eaten by birds. If mimicking snakes gave them snake abilities, those caterpillars wouldn't worry about being eaten," Yang Yu explained, "The skill [Mimicry] is the same.

Even though He Meng has taken Bai Jin's form, only the appearance resembles, while the internal structure remains that of a Slime, without even bones.

emmm...

Without bones but with teeth...

What on earth is He Meng thinking?

No bones, yet it grows a row of sharp teeth, Slimes don't even need teeth...

Could it be He Meng actually dislikes me?

No, that can't be.

This should count as a form of showing affection.

Perhaps just due to the inability to speak, it got anxious.

Hmm...

If He Meng cannot speak, going to the Slime Kingdom is off the table, exposure would be highly likely.

Yang Yu scratched his head vigorously, no signs of any new tasks appeared on the task board.
