Yang Yu's gaze swept over the room and finally landed on He Meng, who was glaring at him.
Yang Yu almost doubted his hearing. Noticing the surprise in Bai Jin and Iyas's eyes, he became sure that He Meng, in her youthful demeanor, had actually spoken.
Before Yang Yu could speak to confirm, Bai Jin said incredulously:
"He Meng, was it you who just spoke?"
He Meng puffed out her chest, her lips curved up, extremely confident:
"Sister Bai Jin, you didn't hear wrong. It was indeed me speaking just now.
After hearing what that big idiot said, I realized that I've always been using surface-level vibrations to perceive your speech.
I thought, maybe if I simulate the vibrations I encounter, I could speak to you.
I tried it, and it worked."
"Could He Meng really be this smart? Can you actually understand what Yang Yu just said? Just listening makes me sleepy....."
Iyas frowned deeply, a sense of crisis hit her, although she didn't want to admit it, she seemed to be the dullest one in the team.
He Meng replied, "What he taught is as boring as a lecture in the Palace. If I didn't have a pile of things I wanted to say, I wouldn't bother learning!"
After speaking, He Meng locked eyes with Yang Yu.
Yang Yu frowned slightly, realizing the situation was not simple.
The awaited moment finally arrived, Yang Yu was almost ecstatic, wanting to kneel down with a funny expression, clapping left and right to celebrate.
But since he had to take on the task, he couldn't let his inner jubilation show.
She had to be serious if she wanted to reveal her plan of restoring the Kingdom.
Suppressing the inadvertent smug expression at the corner of his mouth, Yang Yu brought over a chair, crossed his arms and sat down, leisurely crossing his legs:
"He Meng, I've perceived your extraordinary qualities since a long time ago.
Being able to achieve this level indeed took me by surprise.
I vaguely understand your purpose for following me. Do not worry, our strength far surpasses your imagination.
No matter the reason that forced you to flee the Slime Kingdom and come here...
With us around, we guarantee you fairness.
"
He Meng felt an urge to devour Yang Yu, glaring at him:
"Do you think I wanted to come here?
It's all your fault that I'm here now! It angers me just to think about it!
Since the past, you've been like this, never understanding my feelings.
Just now, you even talked about being in sync with me.
How overflowing is your self-consciousness!
I never felt that way about you.
You've always forced me to do things I didn't want to do.
Even though I didn't want to do it at all, you still forced me to.
I am a noble Slime Princess, not some cheap street Slime!
If you want my help, adopt a petitioning attitude, say some nice things, and give me compensation for helping, and I'll be willing to assist.
Why don't you do something as simple as that!
One 'He Meng, it's time,' but I wasn't even mentally prepared, and you pushed me behind the Shield, or just tossed me."
He Meng's voice was deafening, like a little girl throwing a tantrum, wanting to shout out all the grievances suffered over the past nearly two years.
Yang Yu noticed certain truths in He Meng's demeanor, anxiously shaking his leg, momentarily unable to accept that possibility.
"Slime Princess?
No, you Slimes should be genderless.
If there's a Slime Kingdom, the one with the supreme power should be the Slime King, followed by the Slime Prince.
Hmm.....
Since there's no gender, the title of Prince shouldn't matter.
Gender is inconsequential, it's not the focal point...
The point is, you've worked hard to learn to speak; you must have something more important to tell me."
He Meng got even angrier: "This isn't the point? What else could be the point? What you said wasn't the point!
All my effort into learning to speak was so I could convey my true feelings to you...
Before, you even treated me like a tool, throwing me around.....
What do I truly mean to you?"
After a long silence, Yang Yu spoke seriously: "In my eyes, you've always been my partner."
He Meng snorted coldly, crossing her arms: "You haven't treated me as your partner, have you?
Don't think you can get away with it. You're quite clever, changing everything you originally intended to say before I spoke those words.
All along, you've treated me as a pet.
On the journey, you've said more than once that I'm just your pet!"
Yang Yu scratched his head.
That earlier question was genuinely tough to answer.
It seemed like no answer was correct.
Like arguing with some unreasonable women, losing the argument means you're nothing, winning means you're something impractical.
Yang Yu hadn't expected He Meng to be so fiery, he needed to find a way to calm her down, to continue the conversation.
"When you say that, what am I to you?"
Hearing Yang Yu's inquiry, He Meng angrily puffed her cheeks and turned her face aside.
Seizing the rare moment, Yang Yu said: "Well. Before, I indeed viewed you as a pet, but as the adventure continued, I truly regarded you as an important partner.
I apologize for my previous actions.
Don't complain or anything, you're at least a Slime Prince.
...You should have magnanimity.
Without magnanimity, you won't be able to manage those behind you when you become the King in the future.
You've been with us long enough and met the King of Wansheng Country, you should know the qualities a King should possess.
Having the magnanimity of a King, can attract more people to help you achieve restoring the Kingdom."
"Restoring the Kingdom? What are you talking about?" He Meng glared back at Yang Yu with both eyes, "When I left, the Slime Kingdom was fine. Are you worried about the Slime Kingdom's succession?
My father can live for a very long time, I don't need to worry about succession now.
Moreover, it's not a necessity for me to inherit the throne.
Inheriting the throne to become the Slime King is quite troublesome, I don't want to be bound by something like that!"
"..."
Yang Yu fell into silence, though inside he was in turmoil.
Ahhhh, did I really get it wrong from the start? My envisioned Slime Prince revenge story doesn't actually exist?
This was supposed to be my most anticipated side story!
The Slime Prince expelled from the Slime Kingdom, living a wandering life, weak and helpless, always at risk of being dealt with by stronger forces, so he could only linger around Newbie Village.
The Slime Prince's only chance was to find a promising partner, sign a contract with him, and protect him in silence until he had the power to overthrow the Slime Kingdom.
