An hour later, the two finally left the bathroom.
That night, as the night deepened, Layo City gradually quieted down.
In a room at the West Wind Inn, Li Meng, lying on the bed, drifted into a dream.
Tabitha, naked, clung to him like an octopus.
"This is..."
Standing at the bathroom door, Li Meng looked around.
The familiar room told him he was dreaming again.
Li Meng glanced at the stairs leading to the second floor.
The familiar sound of keyboard tapping echoed once more.
"I... I won't go up there!"
That shadow was terrifying.
Its sudden appearance could give someone a fright.
Li Meng sat on the sofa in the hall, staring intently at the staircase.
He wanted to see if the shadow would come down on its own.
Suddenly, the keyboard tapping from upstairs stopped.
Li Meng's heart tightened as he sat on the sofa.
But after a while, there was no movement from upstairs.
The shadow didn't appear either.
"Phew!"
Li Meng took a deep breath.
He withdrew his gaze from the staircase and turned to look out the window.
And there it was, the shadow.
The shadow was sitting right next to Li Meng.
"Ah!"
Li Meng let out a scream in the room.
Before he could escape, the shadow pressed down on him again.
"Mo... Modemore, kill... it!"
It repeated over and over.
"I'll kill, I'll kill, but can you not be so scary? In my dream, can't you look a bit better? Even if not a beauty, a handsome guy would do. You're just too creepy like this."
The shadow's voice stopped!
"Like... this?"
The shadow changed, transforming into the most beautiful woman in Li Meng's heart.
"No, change again!"
The familiar face made Li Meng's heart tremble.
Unknowingly, it had been nearly six years since his mother passed away.
No matter what, Li Meng couldn't accept the shadow wearing his mother's face to communicate with him.
"No, change again!"
"Can you only become people from my memory?"
"No, I don't want to see this person."
"Then become Yang Meiling."
Yang Meiling was a talented singer in Li Meng's memory.
She became famous as soon as she debuted and was very beautiful.
Unfortunately, she died young from cancer.
The shadow obediently transformed into the woman from Li Meng's memory.
She wore a black, low-cut, body-hugging dress.
Her waist-length black hair casually draped over her shoulders.
This was Yang Meiling's last outfit on screen.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the woman beside him, Li Meng asked.
Li Meng had a suspicion.
The culprit behind his crossing into another world was probably this person beside him.
The woman just stared at him without answering.
After a while, her voice sounded again.
"Kill... kill it, Modemore!"
"I'll kill, I'll kill it, you are..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Meng woke up from his dream.
Lying on the bed, Li Meng suddenly opened his eyes.
"That dream again!"
Li Meng took a deep breath.
"Xiao Bai, who is Modemore?"
"The Skeletal Dragon King 'Modemore'!"
Xiao Bai's answer made Li Meng ponder.
So it was that guy.
Although the future line had deviated, some things were still developing according to the future line.
When he heard the shadow mention the name Modemore, Li Meng thought of the Skeletal Dragon King.
"Xiao Bai, I want to kill it!"
"It's difficult. The Dragon Kings are immortal. As long as death exists in this world, the Skeletal Dragon King can resurrect even if killed."
"No matter, if I can kill it once, I can kill it a second time. Tell me about this guy."
"The Skeletal Dragon King resides in the ancient city 'Camelot' on the central continent. That area is also known as the Undead Nation. Its predecessor was the ancient empire 'Gontzea Empire.' The appearance of the Skeletal Dragon King led to the fall of the Gontzea Empire, and all living creatures in the territory were transformed into undead creatures. The Skeletal Dragon King's power also gave birth to intelligent undead creatures, 'Vampires,' in the Undead Nation. Vampires became the leading force in the Undead Nation, using the undead creatures to defend it."
"Master, if you want to kill the Skeletal Dragon King, you must first face the endless army of undead."
"The nemesis of undead creatures is light magic. Master, you must find a Light Slime to form a contract and obtain light magic."
Xiao Bai's words made Li Meng frown slightly.
He initially thought the Skeletal Dragon King was a solitary existence.
After all, beings as powerful as the Dragon King are usually quite aloof.
Unexpectedly, the Skeletal Dragon King's power automatically granted it a group of guardians.
To kill the Skeletal Dragon King, a war against the Undead Nation was necessary.
"Xiao Bai, do you know how to build an airship?"
The Undead Nation is on the central continent.
To reach the central continent, one must take an airship.
To transport an army to the central continent also requires an airship.
"I can, but it requires mithril and wind crystal stones!"
"Runes can automatically convert into corresponding elemental magic when infused with magic power. Can't slimes do it?"
"Uh... hmm, that's a good idea, it should be feasible."
"Looks like we need to go back for a bit."
"Master, you should prioritize finding the Light Slime."
"The Light Slime is on the Saint Biren Continent. A round trip would take at least three years. We can't waste those three years. Let's go back first to teach the shipbuilding technology. This way, when we return, the airship fleet can set sail immediately!"
"A very reasonable time allocation, Master, I have no objections!"
And so, Li Meng decided on the next course of action.
Calculating the time, it had only been half a year since he left home.
Returning would only take about half a month.
Time slowly passed, and the night deepened.
Even the longest night eventually gives way to dawn.
As the morning light rose from the eastern sky, it heralded the arrival of a new day.
In the early morning, as everything revived.
Layo City, West Wind Inn.
In a room on the third floor.
"Master, I plan to visit the Crystal Temple in Layo City!"
Tabitha emerged from the bathroom in a bathrobe.
She had been exhausted by her master all night, feeling sticky.
When she was too tired, she didn't feel it.
Upon waking, she couldn't wait to rush into the bathroom for a wash.
Tabitha had come to terms with submitting to her master.
No matter what, she was still alive.
Although the bishop's death saddened her a bit, that was all. After all, that man had a family, and she was merely his mistress.
Emotions can sometimes be uncontrollable.
She wasn't a strong woman and sometimes needed a man's comfort.
And that man was a tool for satisfying her desires.
There were feelings, but not to the point of life and death.
As for revenge, Tabitha hadn't even considered it.
