Chapter 367 The Birth Of The Fairy Princess
“I’m very tempted to join your Guild, Lux, just for the fact that we can communicate even though we are miles apart,” Iris said as she looked at the Half-Elf who was experimenting with the functions of the Guild chat.
“I also want you to join my Guild, but if I were to do that, Henrietta will kill me,” Lux replied helplessly. “She’s quite overprotective of you.”
“She’s not my best friend for nothing.”
“Mmm.”
Lux and Henrietta were friends as well, but their relationship wasn’t as close when compared to how she treated Iris.
“Hey, My Daddy! When are we going to return to Leaf Village?” Cai asked using the Guild’s chat function. “I want to play with Laura and Livia.”
“Do you want to stay in Leaf Village for a bit?”
“Can I?”
“Why not?” Lux replied. As he sent Cai a telepathic message. “Come to the Academy in two hours. Keane, do you want to accompany Cai in Leaf Village?”
“No. I’d rather stay here where it is nice and quiet.”
Lux heard Keane’s uninterested reply inside his head and couldn’t help but chuckle internally.
After experimenting with the chat function, the Half-Elf was surprised when he discovered that there were two modes of communication available to them.
One was to talk out loud, just like what Cai was doing with Laura and Livia, and the other was talking through thought.
The second method was more convenient, but there was a catch.
Talking to the Guild members through thought consumed mana. After experimenting a bit, Lux found out that every word that was said using this function consumed 5 Mana.
If used properly, this function would allow them to communicate similar to telepathy, allowing them to coordinate without letting anyone know what they were talking about in public.
Suddenly, the egg on Iris’s lap started to shake.
The Half-Elf and the blue-haired beauty glanced at each other before they shifted their attention to the blue egg that was shaking left and right on Iris’ lap.
The two waited with bated breaths as the egg continued to shake. A moment later, a small cracking sound was heard.
The side of the egg broke, and something peeked at them from the inside. A moment later, a giggle could be heard from the egg, which remained motionless after a minute had passed.
“Someone is being naughty,” Iris said with a smile.
“Mmm.” Lux agreed. “She wants to play hide and seek.”
Another giggle was heard inside the egg. However, this time, Iris lifted the cracked shell and exposed the baby slime, who was looking up at her with a smug look on her face.
“Ma!” Eiko shouted before jumping on Iris’s shoulder and moving close to her cheeks, giving her a kiss.
Lux looked at the baby Slime with a smile before using his appraisal skill to check Eiko’s stats.
He was already prepared to see all of Eiko’s stats and reset back to square one because according to the records of the Monsters who had a similar rebirth ability, they would start from scratch after they were revived.
One of Iris’s Guardians was a Phoenix, and because of this, she studied a lot about Monster species that had the ability to resurrect themselves even after their former body had died.
However, when Lux looked at the stats of the baby Slime, he almost choked on his saliva because the changes in Eiko’s Status Page was something he didn’t expect.

Eiko’s Rank had indeed returned to scratch, however, her stats remained the same.
Also, she gained some additional passive skills, as well as a new title that made Lux wonder if it was influenced by the Beast Core of the Queen Slime that he had given Eiko, as a catalyst to help her recover faster.
‘Either way, these skills will help Eiko become stronger,’ Lux thought as he gazed at the changes in Eiko’s Status Page. ‘The only downside is that her rating progression has increased again. Still, I’m glad that she’s back.’
Lux assumed that the higher rating progression was due to the changes to Eiko’s identity.
Back then, she was just a regular blue Slime, but now, she was a Slime Princess. An ordinary person and a Princess had different status, which explained why the rating progression suddenly went up.
“Pa!” Eiko happily jumped on Lux’s head and even playfully ruffled his hair, as if taking advantage of the fact that she would not be scolded for doing so.
Iris giggled from the side because Eiko had turned Lux’s hair into a bird’s nest, making the mother and daughter pair giggle again at the same time.
Lux raised his hands to grab the mischievous little slime and tickled her body, making her squirm.
“How is her status?” Iris inquired after she finished laughing. “Did everything reset?”
“See for yourself.” Lux smirked as he passed his Soul Book to Iris so that she could check Eiko’s Status Page.
Iris still had a relaxed expression before she took a glance at Eiko’s status.
The corner of Lux’s lips rose as he watched her expression change from being relaxed, to serious, to disbelief.
Iris knew that it was impossible to fake Eiko’s status inside Lux’s Soul Book, so she didn’t bother asking if what she saw was real or not.
She had no choice but to accept it as reality, which made her look at the giggling slime on top of the Half-Elf’s head in shock.
Iris knew that although Eiko looked harmless right now, there would come a time when she would be a force to reckon with, as she commanded a legion of Slime Monsters that were willing to do her bidding.
