Chapter 80 Who the hell gave you permission to spread rumors that I gave birth?
Ian was truly driven mad by Lilith.
She...she gave birth?!
Small ones are cute too?!
What is all this nonsense?! Is your brain working in such an abstract way?
Lilith, you're quite the impudent one...
"That's not true! Lilith, let me explain..." Ian shook his head frantically, almost leaving afterimages, trying to utter a complete sentence.
But Lilith wasn't listening to him at all.
Then she suddenly sat up straight, with an expression that said, "I understand, I understand everything."
"No, I have to tell everyone this good news!" Lilith turned around and was about to rush out of the dragon's nest, her bat wings on her back spreading excitedly.
"!!!" Ian exclaimed in shock.
Wait! You stop right there!!!
The main body instantly launched into a catapult start, and [Catapult Start LV.2] was used to its fullest potential at this moment. The deep blue slime shot towards Lilith like a cannonball.
Technician No. 3 and Technician No. 4 were not idle either, and immediately stretched out their tentacles to grab.
But the Shadow Fairy is faster.
The speed of shadow magic combined with wings is simply too fast.
As long as Lilith doesn't let her chuunibyou get the better of her, with this ridiculously overpowered skill combination, it's really hard for her to escape and get caught.
Especially her Shadow Affinity at level 7.
Just as Ian's tentacles were about to grab her ankle...
Whoosh!
Lilith transformed into a wisp of black mist and vanished instantly, leaving only a mocking voice in the air:
"I'll go tell everyone right now!"
"..." Ian was numb.
He watched helplessly as the black mist slipped out through the crack at the entrance to the dragon's nest.
Then came Lilith's gradually receding shouts, a mixture of excitement and ecstasy:
"Listen up, everyone!"
"Ian gave birth!!"
"A new member has joined the dragon's nest!!!"
It’s over.
It's all over.
The slime's innocence is about to be destroyed by this madwoman.
"Lilith!!"
A roar from a slime, a mixture of despair and madness, echoed within the dragon's lair.
Fine, fine, Lilith, you want to send it, right? I'll let you send it!
Lilith, you've already found a way to die!
Ian was so angry that he bounced wildly on the spot, like an angry blue popping candy.
But anger aside, the pursuit must continue.
"Technicians! Follow me!" Ian gave the order, and several clones immediately caught up.
Four groups of slimes burst out of the dragon's lair and raced toward the direction where Lilith had disappeared.
……
Longling, an experimental field.
Rongrong was watering the dragon blood wheat with several rabbit-people children. She was humming a song, and her long ears swayed to the rhythm.
Suddenly, a dark figure descended from the sky.
"Fluffy! Fluffy!" Lilith landed excitedly, her bat wings folding, her face beaming with undisguised gossip. "Did you know? Ian gave birth!"
Clang.
The water bottle in Rongrong's hand fell to the ground.
"Give me...give me what?" The rabbit-girl blinked her ruby-like eyes, her long ears standing straight up.
"Little slimes!" Lilith gestured vigorously, "This size, dark blue, and so bouncy! I just saw them with my own eyes! Three of them! Right by the hot spring!"
Rongrong opened her mouth wide and stood there stunned for a full five seconds.
then……
"Wow!" she screamed, jumping high in the air. "Lord Ian gave birth?! I need to see the little slime! Angry Horn! Angry Horn, where are you?"
She dashed like the wind to the other side of the field, where Angry Horn was leading several minotaurs in digging an irrigation ditch.
Lilith watched this scene with satisfaction, a mischievous smile playing on her lips.
The next second, she turned into black mist and disappeared.
Tauren camp.
Angry Horn was squatting on the ground, using his rough, large hands to demonstrate to several young minotaurs how to dig ditches more efficiently.
"You should dig a ditch like this... wait, where are you digging? That's a field! Not a ditch!"
He was so anxious that he kept grabbing at the ox's horns.
Just then, Rongrong rushed over like a little cannonball, shouting as she ran, "Angry Horn! Angry Horn! Lord Ian has been born!!!"
The bull's eyes, bulging like copper bells, stared in anger.
"What the heck?"
"They're born! Baby slimes!" Girruma gestured excitedly. "Lilith said so! Three! They were born in the hot springs!"
Angry Horn: "..."
His brain's processing power was clearly struggling to keep up with the amount of information.
Slime...giving birth?
Or three?
Born in a hot spring?
He was stunned for a long time before finally managing to stammer out, "...So we're going to go see Mother Earth?"
Meanwhile, Lilith had already flown to the Goblin Training Grounds.
Dozens of goblins were training, humming and hawing. Although their movements were still crooked and awkward, at least they were starting to look somewhat professional.
Lilith emerged from the shadows and cleared her throat.
"Everyone, listen up!"
The goblins all turned to look at them.
"Your leader Ian just had three little slimes," Lilith announced solemnly. "This is a major event for Dragon Territory, so remember this!"
The goblins nodded, seemingly understanding.
One of the more clever ones had already started planning: "Shouldn't we prepare some gifts? Some...slime beauties?"
……
Ian, along with his two clones, gave chase.
Each time, she was just a tiny bit off, a few seconds later than Lilith, but those few seconds were enough for Lilith to finish speaking.
He heard the rabbit-men and minotaur people talking amongst themselves.
Every time I hear a sentence, I feel my blood pressure rise.
When he caught up with Lilith at the goblin training ground, he overheard her talking nonsense.
"Remember this, Ian had triplets. This must be spread throughout Dragon Territory so everyone knows..."
"Lilith!!!" Ian roared.
Four slimes simultaneously pounced on Lilith from four directions.
But the Shadow Fairy reacted too quickly.
She chuckled softly, her body transforming into black mist once more, slipping through the gaps in the encirclement, leaving behind a message in mid-air:
"Oh, so the baby's father's here? Don't worry, I haven't told Iris yet!"
Then it flew away again with a "whoosh".
In just a second, Lilith quickly turned into a small black dot in Ian's vision, heading towards the cave where the crystal spiders lived.
……
Ian's agility is still too low. Even though he has the same shadow magic, his lower affinity level makes Ian's shadow magic far less smooth than Lilith's.
However, the teleportation skill has too short a range, and it focuses more on maneuvering within a certain area. Traveling is not the strength of teleportation.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up, Ian thought for a moment and decided to go to Charles's vampire castle to block the door.
Judging by this trend, Lilith will eventually end up with Charles.
"Go and intercept her at Charles's place!" Ian controlled his clone to rush in another direction.
……
Outside Dragon's Nest Castle, outside the window of an empty room in Charles Castle.
Ian deliberately opened this window, setting up a trap, just waiting for Lilith to come over.
Sure enough, within a few minutes...
A figure shrouded in shadowy magic was rushing toward the castle at an incredible speed.
Ian timed it perfectly, positioning himself on Lilith's inevitable path.
Teleport!
Ian appeared out of thin air and almost lost control of his strength, crashing into the wall.
Almost at the same time, the black mist that Lilith had transformed into drifted over from the other side, preparing to slip through the window.
The two collided on the windowsill.
Lilith was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Ian to teleport directly into her arms.
In that brief moment of distraction...
With Lilith's impressive curves behind him, Ian immediately attacked at close range.
No, tentacles emerged.
Both the main body and the clone simultaneously extended several tentacles, shooting them at Lilith from different angles.
Just in case, Ian also conjured magical tentacles to form a large net, covering any possible escape routes Lilith might use.
Lilith instinctively tried to transform into black mist again, but Ian had already anticipated her move.
Ian drew upon a large amount of spatial magic around himself.
Although it wasn't a complete spatial magic spell, the simulated spatial interference was enough to delay the Shadow Fairy's transformation into mist by a fraction of a second.
It's just a fraction of a second.
The tentacles then wrapped around Lilith.
Two cords were wrapped around her ankles, two around her wrists, one around her waist, and one more...
It was smeared directly on her face.
"Ughhhhh!!!" Lilith struggled, but the gelatinous substance on the tentacles had already clung tightly to her skin and clothes.
When you want to kill someone, you can't hide it in your eyes.
Ian leaped in front of her, his voice dripping with murderous intent, and growled, each word distinct: "Who the hell allowed you to spread rumors outside that I gave birth?!"
"Ugh... Ugh ugh ugh!"
With her face covered, Lilith could only make "mmm" sounds.
Ian loosened the tentacles covering his face slightly.
Lilith gasped for breath, blinked her silver eyes, and even laughed: "What, did I say something wrong? That wasn't your child? Did you sleep with other slimes outside?"
"That's a clone! Do you understand what a clone is? It's a special ability!" Ian tried to make Lilith understand.
Lilith doesn't understand, and probably doesn't want to understand.
Her expression suddenly became somewhat subtle, a mischievous glint in her silver eyes: "...Do you need my help delivering the next one? I see your size hasn't changed, it looks like you can still deliver a few more?"
Seeing that she hadn't reformed, Ian continued to explain, "These clones of mine are all my own consciousness; none of them have independent consciousness!"
"I won't listen! I won't listen! I won't listen!" Lilith shook her head desperately, still stubbornly insisting, "You did give birth anyway!"
"..." Ian was speechless.
I suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Trying to reason with this idiot is like a teacher trying to teach me linear algebra and calculus back in the day.
"Fine, I gave in." Ian conceded. "So what? What are you trying to achieve by going around telling everyone? Throwing a huge banquet for me? Or collecting wedding gifts for me?"
"Actually..." she blinked, "I'm here to deliver a message."
"?"
"Mirabelle is here. She brought a huge amount of supplies and is waiting on the outskirts of Dragon Territory. Charles sent me to inform you, but when I entered the Dragon's Nest, I saw you... well, having a baby. Of course, I had to share something this important with everyone."
Ian remained silent.
Can't we get down to business?
So this little devil goesssip first, then gets back to work?
Wait, is she at work?
She started by gossiping, then continued gossiping and spreading rumors, and only remembered what she was there for after she was caught!
"Supplies?" Ian caught the key word.
"Yes." Lilith tried to shrug, but the tentacles were too tight. "Didn't you ask her to help with the shopping? It seems like she brought half the market. The carriage lines are incredibly long, and Charles has already sent men to meet them."
Ian then remembered.
Indeed, I had previously purchased a batch of construction materials and daily necessities through Mirabelle. But I didn't expect it to happen so quickly, nor did I expect it to be done on such a large scale.
"So..." Lilith looked at him, "Can you let me go now? I still need to help with the inventory."
Ian's light flickered twice.
Then, instead of loosening, the six tentacles entangled even more tightly.
"What's the rush?" Ian said slowly and deliberately. "You were running around quite happily just now, weren't you? Having fun spreading rumors, huh?"
Lilith: "..."
She suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Since you're so free... then do me a favor."
"What kind of help?"
"Let's test the massage function of the new clone."
No sooner had she finished speaking than [Technician Number One]'s clone leaped in through the window. The deep blue jelly-like body traced a graceful arc in the air, landing precisely on Lilith's back.
"Wait, wait!" Lilith panicked. "What are you doing?! Ian, I'm warning you! I'm not the same person I was just a few dozen days ago! I will absolutely not give in... Ugh!"
Technician No. 1 has already started working.
The gelatinous body slowly unfolded and covered Lilith, beginning a standard slime massage with gentle pressure, mild vibrations, and a perfectly enveloping sensation.
"This feeling? Hmm..." Lilith initially tried to struggle.
But soon, the high-frequency vibrations and the fine bumps made her unconsciously relax.
Comfortable.
so comfy.
No wonder Lady Vivian holds this thing with her every day.
"How was it?" Ian asked in his true form. "Not bad, right?"
Lilith bit her lip, unwilling to admit it, but her body was already telling the truth.
"Since you feel comfortable... then enjoy it."
Ian waved his hand, and two other pure massage-type clones rushed up, instantly surrounding and enveloping Lilith.
When dealing with these mischievous little devils, there's no need to talk about chivalry! Just attack them all at once!
Ian loosened the tentacles that were wrapped around Lilith.
However, the three slime clones had taken over the tentacles of the main body and still firmly locked Lilith in place.
[Technician Number One] was still lying on top of her, continuing to work diligently.
The comfort she felt in her body left her with no strength to muster.
Lilith struggled to escape using her shadow, but whenever she made a move, the pressure from the slime would force her back down, disrupting the flow of Lilith's magic.
She lay slumped in the empty room, her silver eyes half-closed, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she let out an unconscious hum.
"Um……"
Ian set up dozens of defensive spells, both to protect against outsiders and to prevent Lilith from escaping.
and so……
Before I return, Lilith will enjoy unlimited refills!
Ian nodded in satisfaction and skipped and hopped towards the outside of the castle.
Before leaving, he made a point of looking back one last time.
Hmm, the effect looks good.
Next time, we could consider adding a "tentacle torture package" specifically for dealing with these gossip-spreading guys.
As for the rumors spread by Lilith...
Forget it.
Let it be spread.
They're not even human anymore, what kind of shame do they have!
All I want to do right now is go and see what good things Mirabelle has brought.
Hopefully, there will be a suitable furnace for steelmaking, or a few skilled craftsmen.
