How Could There Be a Slime in the Zhu Xian World?

"I can't believe he won again!"

Watching this unbelievable scene, Bibi Dong furrowed her brows slightly. Her delicate little face was filled with grave concern.

What should she do now?

Did they really have to let this man manage them?

No, absolutely not!

She could get points just by checking in every day. At worst, she'd wait another three months!

[Feng Qing'er: Hmph! Just you wait, you stinking man! [Angry)]

Feng Qing'er: I will never give in, absolutely not! (Angry) (Disdain)]

Bibi Dong looked at the messages on the screen and pondered for a moment before sending one of her own.

[Bibi Dong: I won't give in either! (Angry)]

After sending the message, Bibi Dong closed the chat group, straightened her clothes, and went back to her room to sleep.

Looking at the messages on the screen, Lu Jiuyuan's lips curved slightly. There was plenty of time. One day, they'd give in!

[Congratulations, host! You upheld the group leader's authority and gained 50 Prestige Points]

[Congratulations, host! You interacted with Feng Qing'er and gained 50 Prestige Points!]

[Congratulations, host! You interacted with Bibi Dong and obtained the Death Spider Emperor's third Soul Skill: Demon Spider Summoning

(Summons a swarm of small Death Demon Spiders that devour the enemy's Soul Power and self-destruct.)]

Lu Jiuyuan raised his brows at the notifications, a little surprised!

In just a brief moment, he'd obtained a skill. That was incredibly fast!

But what was this Prestige Points thing?

"System, what are Prestige Points? Come out and explain!"

Lu Jiuyuan rested one hand on his chin and asked, looking puzzled.

[Ding! System notification: Prestige Points are a currency exclusive to the group leader. The Mall feature will unlock once the group leader reaches LV3!]

[Items purchased from the Mall can be used to maintain order in the Peerless Beauty Group, or to improve the group leader's own strength!]

[Current group leader level: LV1. Please work hard to level up!]

"So that's how it is!" Lu Jiuyuan nodded thoughtfully. "Then what authority do I have as group leader?"

[...]

[Current group leader privileges: Group Leader Red Packets, Private Chats with Group Members!]

[Other group leader privileges are currently locked!]

At this, Lu Jiuyuan covered his face, speechless.

"Forget it. This will do for now." Lu Jiuyuan glanced at the dark night sky outside the window. "It's about time I went to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow!"

Lu Jiuyuan had barely lain down when he started dreaming.

In his dream was a chaotic void, with colorful balls of light floating all around him.

He wandered aimlessly, then suddenly stepped on something soft.

Looking down, he saw a blue, jelly-like mass.

A slime.

"How could there be a slime in the Zhu Xian World?" Lu Jiuyuan crouched down in bewilderment and poked it.

Soft.

Bouncy.

It felt surprisingly nice.

He couldn't help poking it a few more times. The slime wriggled and made a "squelch, squelch" sound.

Lu Jiuyuan grew interested and lifted it up in both hands, kneading it. Squeezing this thing was so satisfying—it beat any stress toy he'd ever played with in his previous life.

As he kneaded it, the slime suddenly changed shape!

It slowly stretched out from a ball, its outline becoming clearer and clearer.

It looked like a person!

By the time Lu Jiuyuan had rubbed his eyes, the slime had completely transformed into the figure of a woman!

Hair like a waterfall of black silk, white robes like fresh snow, and a graceful figure!

Wasn't this Lu Xueqi?

Lu Jiuyuan froze, but his hands kept kneading.

After all, Lu Xueqi was his fiancée. There was no harm in giving her a little squeeze.

Mm, she really did feel even better than a slime!

"Mm~!"

A breathy, utterly enchanting moan sounded!

It was very soft and gentle, yet carried a faint tremble.

Lu Jiuyuan's eyes snapped open!

The next moment, he turned to look beside him and froze.

The room was dim, and the morning mist seeped through the gaps in the window screen, shrouding everything in a hazy veil.

On his bed, lying right beside him, was a stunning woman dressed in white as pure as snow.

Lu Xueqi!!

Her black hair spilled across the pillow. Her usually cool, frosty face was now tinged with a faint blush, her lashes fluttering slightly and her lips gently pressed together.

She lay on her side, facing him, breathing softly and evenly.

She wore only a thin inner garment, so sheer that it left her curves almost entirely exposed.

Through the thin fabric, his palm could feel their astonishing shape and warmth.

Lu Jiuyuan's brain short-circuited for three full seconds.

Then he saw Lu Xueqi open her eyes.

Her gaze, usually as cold as an icy pool, was now glistening as she stared steadily at him.

A trace of moisture clung to her lashes, whether from the mist or something else.

Her face grew even redder.

But she didn't move.

She only looked at him quietly, her gentle gaze full of affection and longing, along with a hint of shyness and sweetness.

Lu Jiuyuan's fingers trembled slightly.

That little tremor passed through her inner garment, and Lu Xueqi's lashes fluttered too.

"Se~nior~Bro~ther~."

Feeling that tingling sensation, Lu Xueqi murmured softly, her voice barely audible and a little hoarse.

Lu Jiuyuan's Adam's apple bobbed.

He wanted to pull his hand back.

He really did.

But his hand seemed to have a mind of its own and wouldn't budge.

"Xueqi..." He tried to distract her, his voice a little hoarse too. "What are you doing here?"

"Last night... I came to return your sword."

"Return my sword?" Lu Jiuyuan paused.

"Master asked me to bring you the Chengying Sword." Her voice was still so soft. "Your sword was being kept in the Sword Pavilion to be nurtured."

Lu Jiuyuan remembered.

He'd been in such a hurry when he left seclusion yesterday that he hadn't had time to retrieve the Chengying Sword.

After that, he'd gone with Lu Xueqi to the back mountain for some sweet time together.

When he got back that night, he'd gone straight to his room and completely forgotten about it.

"Then you..." Lu Jiuyuan furrowed his brows slightly.

"You were asleep." Lu Xueqi turned her face slightly, revealing the reddened edge of one ear. "I called you, but you didn't wake up. I wanted to put the sword down and leave, and then..."

She didn't finish.

Lu Jiuyuan understood.

Then somehow, she'd stayed.

Then somehow, she'd ended up lying beside him.

And then somehow...

"Xueqi!" Lu Jiuyuan said earnestly. "I didn't do it on purpose."

"Mm," Lu Xueqi replied.

"I had a nightmare."

"Mm."

"I dreamed about a slime..."

"A slime?" Lu Xueqi blinked her clear, wide eyes and looked at him, puzzled.

Lu Xueqi seemed to realize something too, and her face grew even redder.

She gently bit her tender pink lower lip, her voice trembling a little. "Senior Brother, could you... move your hand first..."

Lu Jiuyuan finally regained control of his body.

Reluctantly, he pulled his hand back, his movements stiff as a rusty mechanism.

His hand left that softness, but the warmth lingering on his fingertips remained.

He curled his fingers. The soft sensation seemed to cling to his skin.
