Mo Li's Warning

Seeing Rimuru's determined face, Mo Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, in a sense, chicken soup for the soul, while not always good, was still quite effective.

"A'Li, I know what I need to do now," Rimuru said to Mo Li.

"Oh? And what do you want to do?" Mo Li asked, feigning curiosity though he already knew.

"For now, I want to establish a camp to give these goblins and direwolves a place to live. We can figure out the rest later," Rimuru explained his thoughts to Mo Li as he pondered.

Listening to Rimuru, Mo Li sighed with emotion. Whether it was the Moe King in the original story or the current Moe King, they would invariably embark on the path of a ruler.

"Alright, since you've decided, go ahead and do it with confidence. I'll always be behind you to support you. I'm your unwavering backing," Mo Li said to Rimuru indulgently.

Hearing Mo Li's words, Rimuru was touched and threw himself into Mo Li's arms. "A'Li, you're so kind."

Mo Li gently stroked the slime in his embrace. "Whatever you do, I'll support you. We're friends, aren't we? Didn't we promise to help each other and never betray one another?"

As Mo Li stroked its head, Rimuru felt a little shy. A'Li, I don't just see you as a friend... You said you'd support me in everything, right?

Little did Mo Li know that because of those words, he would suffer greatly in the not-too-distant future.

"So, Rimuru, how do you plan to allocate them?" Mo Li asked, testingly.

"I already have an idea," Rimuru said proudly.

"Okay, since you have an idea, I don't need to say anything more," Mo Li said gently.

Just then, Rimuru yawned. "A'Li, I'm sleepy," Rimuru mumbled groggily.

Seeing Rimuru's sleepy face, Mo Li stroked the slime in his arms and said softly, "Sleep. There's still time tomorrow for what you want to do."

In a short while, Rimuru was no longer moving.

Mo Li looked at the goblins and direwolves still kneeling on the ground and said with authority, "From now on, you are Rimuru's subjects. If you are obedient and serve well, Rimuru and I will protect your safety. But if you harbor any ill intentions, I will show you what thunderous wrath is and make you wish you were dead."

As he spoke, Mo Li unleashed a terrifying pressure that enveloped all the monsters except Rimuru. Feeling the oppressive weight, like that of the vast ocean, the goblins and direwolves were instantly reminded of just how terrifying the being before them was.

"We wouldn't dare. Everyone in our tribe will offer all their loyalty to you and Lord Rimuru," the Old Goblin said tremblingly under the immense pressure.

"Our direwolf tribe too," the leading direwolf quickly added.

"You better. After all, I don't have Rimuru's good temper," Mo Li's voice was not loud, but his pressure was like a mountain, striking fear into all present.

"Alright, since there's nothing else, you may all withdraw. As for your arrangements, Rimuru will have plans for you tomorrow." After speaking, Mo Li took Rimuru and entered the small cabin.

Seeing Mo Li leave, all the goblins and direwolves breathed a sigh of relief. That person's pressure was simply too strong.

"It seems I underestimated this one's strength. This lord's power is likely not far from that of a Demon King," the Old Goblin couldn't help but exclaim.

"Where did you goblins find these two lords?" The Wolf King's son stood up and asked the Old Goblin.

The Old Goblin then slowly recounted how they were attacked by human adventurers and rescued by Rimuru and Mo Li.

"Sigh, I have to say, your goblin tribe is truly fortunate. The strength of these two is probably among the top powerhouses in the entire Jura Great Forest," the direwolf said with a sigh.

"Yes, it seems our future days can finally get better," the Old Goblin said excitedly.

"Yes, but Rimuru's personality is fine, yet Mo Li is truly terrifying."

The Direwolf said fearfully, imagining the scene from earlier.

"Sigh, didn't Lord Mo Li say it? As long as we serve loyally, nothing will happen."

The Old Goblin said.

"That's true, with the protection of these two lords, we'll never have to fear those powerful monsters again."

The Direwolf exclaimed.

"Alright, stop talking and get some rest. Lord Rimuru and Lord Mo Li have tasks for us tomorrow."

The Old Goblin said at this moment.

"Right, right, right, let's get some rest. I want to be in the best condition to meet the two lords tomorrow."

The Direwolf said as he prepared to rest.

In the early morning, the sun began to rise slowly. All was silent. A faint light appeared on the eastern horizon, cautiously staining the light blue sky. Sunlight streamed through the cracks into the dilapidated house.

Rimuru slowly opened its drowsy eyes under the sunlight.

"What, you're awake."

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded. Rimuru turned its head and saw Mo Li walking in from outside the wooden house, holding two bowls of soup.

Seeing Rimuru's dazed expression, Mo Li felt a little helpless.

"Alright, since you're awake, hurry up and eat something. We still have a lot to do today."

Mo Li said slowly to the dazed Rimuru.

"Oh, I know, Ah Li."

Rimuru jumped down from the wooden board and hopped to Mo Li's side.

"Here, eat up. Although you don't have a sense of taste right now, you should still eat breakfast to replenish your energy. I found some herbs containing Magic Essence around here, and I added some Hippocrates Grass from Veldora's cave. It can greatly increase your magic power. Eat up."

Mo Li said to Rimuru.

Looking at the two bowls of soup, Rimuru's large eyes, formed from slime condensate, welled up with tears. This was the first time Rimuru had felt warmth from another person. In its previous life, it was just an ordinary office worker, spending its days either working or staying at home. It would eat whatever it could, or just make do with instant noodles. No one had ever prepared breakfast for it.

"Ah Li, you're so good to me."

Seeing Rimuru's teary eyes, Mo Li said with some doting affection.

"Alright, eat up. After you finish, we still have other tasks. Didn't you say you were going to assign your subordinates today?"

Mo Li reminded.
