Opportunity

Before long, Kaijin led Mo Li, Rimuru, and Gobta to a place resembling a nightclub from Mo Li's previous life.

Seeing the three large words "Dream Butterfly" on the signboard, Mo Li knew they had arrived.

However, Rimuru and Gobta were somewhat confused.

"Kaijin, what kind of place is this?"

Rimuru looked at the sign above her head and voiced her question. No matter how she looked at it, this shop did not seem like a respectable place.

"Yeah."

Gobta echoed from the side.

"This is a great place."

Kaijin wore an expression that said, You know what I mean.

"There are quite a few beautiful women here."

Kaijin continued.

"Beautiful women? What beautiful women?"

Gobta immediately became excited. After all, there had not even been any beautiful women to see in their old village.

"Beautiful women? Are there fairies?"

Rimuru was interested too, her big watery eyes shining.

"Of course. Not only are there beautiful fairies here, there are also beast-eared girls, little lolis, mature beauties—everything you could want. Here, there are only beauties you cannot imagine, never beauties you cannot see."

A trace of longing and nostalgia appeared on Kaijin's face.

"That good?"

Gobta said excitedly, waving his arms around.

"Beautiful women, beautiful women, hehe."

As Rimuru spoke, drool even dripped into Mo Li's arms.

Watching Rimuru like this made Mo Li's teeth ache.

When I watched Cute King in my previous life, Rimuru was never this lecherous. Did changing genders change her tastes too? But shouldn't it be the male soul that was lecherous? How could a girl be this lecherous too? Mo Li thought with a headache.

"Hey, Rimuru, snap out of it. Snap out of it. Look at yourself. Wipe your drool."

Mo Li shook Rimuru in his arms to remind her.

"Oh, oh."

Only then did Rimuru come back to her senses. Seeing the saliva at the corner of her mouth, she replied awkwardly.

Seeing Rimuru and Gobta like this, Kaijin could not help laughing.

"It seems you two are very curious too."

Kaijin laughed heartily. However, when he saw Mo Li's completely expressionless face, Mo Li could not help saying,

"What about you, Morax? Do you want to come along?"

"Ari, come with us. Beautiful fairy big sisters! I've never seen any before."

Rimuru coquettishly pleaded with Mo Li.

"That's right, Lord Morax. Since we're already here, let's go in and have a look."

Gobta urged him as well.

"Morax, come along too."

Kaijin said the same.

Mo Li was a little dumbfounded. He had never said he was not going, so why was everyone trying to persuade him? It was just like Ainz from Overlord—he had not said anything, yet they all somehow understood him. Demiurge was a perfect example. Mo Li was utterly confused. He seemed not to have said anything at all, so how did they know whether he wanted to go or not?

But honestly, Mo Li really was curious about this shop. In the original story, it was in this very shop that Rimuru learned about Miss Shizue, the person fated to her. Mo Li wanted to complain about one thing: why did a place equivalent to a nightclub possess even an ability like foresight? It was not some heaven-defying power that could predict the future, but an ability resembling divination and precognition was still absurdly powerful. Although it could only divine one's destined person, Mo Li still found it hard to believe. Yet he had many questions he wanted answered. Who was his destined person? And in this life, Rimuru had become a woman. Would her destined person change? Would it still be Miss Shizue? If it changed, would Rimuru still become the teacher of Chloe, the Strongest Hero, as in the original story? Would she still obtain that mask with spacetime energy and indestructible properties? Mo Li was extremely curious about all of this. However, he could only investigate these matters himself. The Gamer truly was not as useful as Great Sage.

Only then did Mo Li remember that he seemed not to have checked his system panel in a long time. During this period, he had not forgotten to improve his strength. He wondered what level it had reached now.

"Gamer, are you there?"

[What are your orders, Host?]

The Gamer's mechanical voice entered Mo Li's mind.

"Help me open my personal panel."

Mo Li said to the Gamer.

[Yes, Host.]

Mo Li now felt that as long as he had a Demon Lord Seed and several tens of thousands of human souls, he could easily break through to the level of an Awakened Demon King—the level of "Tyrant of Destruction: Milim" and "Dark Emperor: Guy." Of course, even if Mo Li awakened, he still would not be able to defeat those two. Even in the later stages, both of them stood among the strongest of the first tier. Guy in particular was one of the ceilings of this world. Mo Li seriously doubted that even after developing for a very long time, he would find it difficult to catch up to Guy's realm.

However, Mo Li's magicule count had long since become somewhat excessive. Because he had constantly eaten precious herbs and ores, his magicule count had risen at a terrifying speed. He was merely lacking an opportunity—an opportunity that would allow Mo Li to undergo a complete transformation. Once he crossed that threshold, the road ahead would become much easier. At that moment, Mo Li realized he had drifted too far in thought. This was not the time to think about that.

"When did I say I wasn't going?"

Mo Li asked helplessly.

"Really?"

Rimuru was somewhat surprised. In her mind, Mo Li had always been gentle, steady, responsible, considerate, and even a little old-fashioned. He should not have gone to a place like this.

"Even Gobta found it hard to believe. In his eyes, Lord Morax was someone who could never possibly have anything to do with a place like this. He had already prepared himself to be rejected. He had not expected such a reversal.

"Uh, wasn't it because of the expression you had just now? I thought... you wouldn't go?"

Kaijin explained awkwardly.

"Exactly, exactly. Ari, your expression just now didn't show even the slightest desire to go."

Rimuru complained.

Gobta nodded beside her in agreement.

"I was just thinking about something and didn't notice. It's not strange that you got that impression."

Only then did Mo Li realize that his behavior just now had indeed been somewhat misleading.

"So that's how it is. Since Morax has no objections, let's go inside. I'll make sure to treat you properly."

Kaijin said with a hearty laugh.
