Chapter 160: It Is Emu!!
He finally responded to her question with a small, gentle smile: "There are no visible women in my friend group."
"..." Her tensed-up emotions eased up a little before she mulled over his words.
He said such words with an earnest expression, and it didn't sound like he was lying, so she didn't know if that was truly the case.
'But what was up with the way he worded it?'
She dwelled over the matter for a moment before she snorted and turned her face away.
"Humph."
**Boing** **Jiggle Jiggle!*
"..."
Those marshmallows attached to her chest bounced along with her movements in such a way that Azmond was able to see quite the mesmerizing view.
.
They had been communicating with each other this entire time, as not even a few milliseconds had passed in real time.
So, their figures had just now made it over to the 'gang'...
"Mhmu!" Emu squeaked.
-A 'gang' where a little black and gold slime was the only visible living thing in Crystalline's vision.
She scanned the surrounding area, attempting to find the scent of a 'specific' type of living creature, but no matter how long she searched, she couldn't find the scent of a woman.
"I am not a liar, My Love~" He said with a small, mischievous smile.
"Humph!" She wasn't believing it!
However, the facts were presented in front of her, as the only thing she could see was a cute little black and gold slime.
"?!?" 'Wait a minute!!! A black and gold slime?!?'
She practically twisted her neck at the speed of light as she stared down at the little slimy figure that was a watermelon-sized slime with resplendent gold eyes.
"..." She was left speechless when she confirmed her speculations.
She had seen this slime earlier; however, she just assumed it was a slight variation of slime that Azmond had picked up on impulse.
She, of course, wanted to ask him about it, but she immediately decided against it when she saw him still deep in cultivation. But
She was wrong!
There was something unbelievably special about that benign and harmless looking slime, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what that special thing was
"Hey, Azmond"
"Yes, My Dear?"
"What is that slime?"
"It is Emu!" He responded with a wide grin!
"... That is not what I meant." She let out an exasperated sigh.
"Hmm? What do you mean? Emu is Emu! It is quite simple" He said with a perplexed expression.
What was his Ice Queen getting at by asking such easy questions?
'Oh no!' A ludicrous thought suddenly hit him as his expression turned uneasy!
'Did she maybe get hurt while digesting her gains from our Dual Cultivation Session?!?' He began thinking nonsense.
'Her aura increased from the Initial stages of the Early Soul Transformation Realm to the Peak of the Middle Stages of Early Soul Transformation, but I assumed that she just got lucky from our fortuitous 'encounter'...'
'Was I wrong??? Did she have to pay with her brain cells to acquire such a power boost?!?'
His expression became extremely concerned as he held the fragile-brained beauty in his arms even more protectively!
**Bulge!**
A vein suddenly popped up on her head when she saw the altruistic look on her man's face!
'What is this hateful man thinking about? I am not stupid! These are serious questions!'
She soothed her vexation before asking him a different question: "... What is this 'Emu'?"
"Emu is Emu!" He said as he began to check her temperature with the back of his hand.
She could have a fever, you know!
**Spurt!**
The vein on her forehead exploded as she was left baffled by this man!
She instantly gave up the idea of asking him any more questionsshe knew such futile efforts would get her nowhere
...
Azmond checked her temperature but found nothing wrong with it; his face morphed into a relieved one before he turned his attention to the 'gang'.
**Tap tap**
His muted footsteps made their way over before he put down the irked, voluptuous beauty who was still latched to him in a princess carry.
A deep and raspy voice followed not long after Crystalline was set down gently: "Who's ready to go out and have some fun??" He asked with an excited smile.
"..." Everybody was speechless at the words of this man.
Except for one
"Mhmu! Mhmu!" Emu jumped up and down before it leaped from Boundless's head to his bed of raven, black hair!
It really wanted to go out and hunt some monsters!
"I am glad you are as excited as I am, little buddy." He chuckled with an imperceptible smile as he petted the jiggly slime with fervor.
"Mhmu!" It obviously loved such touches! It didn't know why, considering it could barely feel them, but it just did!
"..." Both Boundless and Crystalline were bewildered by the scene of a man playing around with a black and gold slime like it was a dog.
"???"
They both felt something in unison.
Crystalline looked toward the source of such a disturbance but saw nothing.
Boundless did the same; however, unlike her counterpart, she could see something...
It was that dumb bimbo!
'How dare she have the audacity to think similar thoughts to one such as I?!?'
....
"Hmm??" Crystalline looked around wearily.
"Why did I suddenly feel the presence of a cow-like woman" She began with a contemplative expression: "Is Azmond hiding away a woman somewhere?" Her eyes thinned as she venomously gazed over at the unsuspecting man playing with his slime.
"Hmhmhm~" The man in question began to sing a tune from his past life, completely ignoring the death glare he was getting from Crystalline.
