Slime Cultivation Game

Because she could indeed feel a vague sense of familiarity coming from Shikoti in front of her.

"Karen, don't worry." Leo was quick to grab the air gun and took a deep breath: "She is one of us. I don't want to hide it from you. She, Shikoti, also known as Luna, is my woman."

"Hmph..." Hearing this answer, Shikoti snorted and gave Leo a satisfied look.

"Your woman..." Karen looked at Shikoti, then at Leo, her face still full of surprise: "Leo, are you also... that kind of thing?"

"I'll tell you the details slowly. It's actually not very complicated..." "I think it's very complicated."

Inside the tent, after listening to Leo and Shikoti's story, Kallen crossed her arms, not knowing what expression to use to face him.

Just now, Leo told Kallen everything about Shikoti and himself almost without reservation - except that the fact that he was a visitor from another world was concealed.

These things naturally include how Shikoti devoured all kinds of bad women along the way, and how Leo changed his identity step by step and became the commander of this team.

Leo did not hide anything and told Kallen the real him.

On the one hand, Kallen, who is half a slime clone, might have a bad impression of him because of this. But she would never betray him or want to kill him;

On the other hand, Leo couldn't bear to deceive such a lady who was so attached to him.

If it weren't for her, he would have died by the Winter River a few days ago.

Leo owed her his life.

But it was obvious that such a huge amount of information made Miss Karen confused.

She was not only confused about the identities of Shikoti and Leo, but also confused about herself now.

"That means I am no longer... a human being, right?"

"Well... Strictly speaking, that's the case, but..." Leo tried to organize his words: "I think whether someone is human or not depends on whether they have a human heart."

"To me, even if your heart no longer flows with blood but dark mucus, you are still more human than those cultists who only know how to slaughter civilians."

“Thank you, Leo.” Kallen clenched her fists and smiled bitterly: “My father is gone, and I don’t know where my brother went. As a result, I became like this. Our family is really interesting.”

"Humph, you are so hypocritical." Shikoti turned back into the pure and lustful appearance with silver hair and heterochromatic eyes: "If I had known you would be so hypocritical now, I should not have saved you then."

"..." After two seconds of silence, Kallen stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Miss Shikoti. Anyway, if it weren't for you... I'm afraid I would have left this world by now, right?"

“Ah? Nothing…nothing…” Shikoti didn’t expect Kallen to thank her, and scratched her cheek awkwardly: “I just did it for the master, you…if you want to thank someone, thank the master!”

"No, but let me make it clear first, even though I saved you, I don't intend to give up my master to you!"

"Well... I know, I know everything, Ms. Shikoti..." Karen was stunned for a moment, then she grasped her thigh, her nails almost digging into the flesh: "I understand everything..."

"You and Leo... have been through so much, lived and died together, and have come this far..."

"How could I possibly compete with you for him? Am I worthy? I am not worthy at all..."

"Karen?" Leo felt something was wrong the more he listened, and put his hand on her shoulder.

"No, Mr. Leo..." Karen blocked his hand and bit her lip stubbornly, her face as usual: "You already have Miss Shikoti, you should care about her feelings."

Kallen originally thought that Leo and Luna were just lovers, so she wanted to compete with them.

She thought she was no worse than any other woman and that she could definitely snatch Leo from Luna.

But now it seems that this is simply impossible.

Luna, no, the experiences between Shikoti and Leo have completely tied them together, leaving no chance for a third party to intervene.

Unless... Kallen is willing to share Leo with Shikoti.

However, this is tantamount to an insult to the Princess of the North.

Her self-esteem would never allow her to share a man with other women.

"Karen..."

"Okay, that's it..." The Northern Princess' tone turned cold, and she stood up: "I saved your life, and your... Miss Shikoti also saved mine, so we are even now."

"Mr. Leo, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about your affairs. The Church of Order will also keep it secret for you. If you want to stay here, stay here. If you want to leave, leave. The survival of the North is none of your business."

"Karen..." Leo had never experienced anything like this before, and he felt at a loss as to where to start: "What about you? What are you going to do..."

"Me? Of course I will live and die with the North and my people." Kallen sighed and smiled bitterly, walking towards the door of the tent.

"Karen!" Leo hurriedly followed and held her hand: "I will help you, we can take back the North."

"Mr. Leo, that's not necessary. Really, please leave here. You are not like me. You can live in other ways..."

"..." Leo felt his heart was empty. He had never been in love before and couldn't react to what was going on. He just instinctively felt that something was wrong: "Karen, weren't we fine just now? You even made breakfast for me, and--"

"Just now was just now, now is now!" Kallen took a deep breath: "Leo, let's just treat everything that happened between us as a sweet dream, okay?"

"Now you're awake from the dream, nothing happened, okay?"

"Dream?" Leo grabbed Kallen's hand and said, "You almost died for me, and you want me to think of this as a dream?"

"I said, we're even." Kallen didn't resist and let Leo hold her hand: "We're really even."

"I...but I..."

"Mr. Leo, let me ask you, can you give up Miss Shikoti?"

"I……"

"Look, how could you possibly give up on her? After all, she's the one who accompanied you through life-and-death crises time and time again. So what do you want me to do? Share a man with her?"

Kallen raised her head, her cold eyes filled with sadness and reluctance: "Together with Miss Shikoti, share our northern hero, Mr. Leo? Become your harem, is that what you mean? In your eyes, am I, Kallen Telsk, such a lewd and lowly woman? In your eyes, am I a bitch who comes when you wave your hand and leaves when you wave your hand?"

"I...I didn't mean that..."

"What do you mean? What do you want to do with me? If I don't stay with you, will you kill me to silence me? Will you let Miss Schcotti eat me? Is that right, Mr. Leo?"

"Stop talking, Kallen, stop talking, you know I didn't mean that."

"I don't mean that, I don't mean that, hehe... I... huh... huh... Leo, then let me ask you, why did you approach me?"

Kallen's voice was choked with sobs. She took a few deep breaths and dug her nails into her palms to stop the moisture in her eyes: "Do you really have to make everything so clear to me? Do you really want to not even leave me this beautiful memory?"

"Leo, let me ask you, why do you want to get close to me? Why do you want to be close to me, why do you want to protect me? Is it because you love me, or because my identity can bring you convenience and provide you with a shelter? Do you like me, or are you using me?"

"Leo, I'm so stupid... I'm the stupidest woman in the North... I actually... huh..."

She turned her back and pinched her eyebrows to prevent Leo from seeing her ugly appearance.

She was afraid that if she looked at Leo's face again, she would not be able to control her tears.

Kallen's words were like the sharpest blade, cutting into Leo's heart again and again.

Leo finally realized at this moment that Karen didn't reject him only because of Shikoti, but also because she thought he had deceived her and that he approached her for other purposes.

And this had ulterior motives, which, in Kallen's opinion, was tantamount to betrayal.

Although he was humiliated in the prison of Joy Church, he never felt heartbroken.

When the Order Church attacked, although it was extremely dangerous, he still did not feel heartbroken.

When Winterhold fell, although he was desperate, he was not the least bit heartbroken.

But at this moment, he felt like his heart had been taken away.

Most importantly, Kallen was right, he approached her for those things.

I approached her for the sake of a place to stay, for status and for these things.

It was because she was right that Leo felt so heartbroken.

Because Miss Karen never wanted to get anything from me from the beginning to the end. Her love for me was as pure as the petals of a lily.

This made Leo feel even more guilty.

He was so heartbroken that he didn't know how to face this strong, noble and stubborn girl.

But there is only one thing that Leo is clear about.

He almost lost Kallen, and he didn't want to experience that feeling a second time.

"Leo, huh... I'm so stupid, I'm so stupid..." The sadness in Karen's choked voice made Shikoti turn her head away unconsciously: "I, I don't even know your last name... I'm so stupid, I actually fell in love with you, a man who is full of lies..."

"Haha, please leave, Leo...please leave, please leave quickly, just leave me here alone."

She gently pushed Leo away, turned around, and like a withered rose, was blown to the other side by the wind.

Her back was so close, so close, but in Leo's eyes, it was so far, so far away.

The distance from her feet to the door of the tent was only a few steps, but in Leo's eyes, it seemed as long as several light years.

This is the end?

Just like Kallen said?

All beautiful dreams are like bubbles after all, bursting with a single poke?

"No, no." Leo stepped forward quickly and grabbed Karen's hand again: "Karen, no."

"I... I'm not very good at talking. I haven't learned how to love someone, and I don't have much emotional experience, but... but I want to tell you what I want to say."

"Karen, at the beginning...I did approach you with some impure intentions. I'm sorry. I apologize."

"But the reason I'm standing here now is definitely not because of those inexplicable things."

"You are the most noble and kindest girl I have ever seen in this world. Your kindness, your pride, and your love for everyone are like the morning sun in winter, dazzling and fascinating."

"That light attracted me, and I want to protect it. I don't want it to go out."

"That's why I choose to stay by your side."

Leo didn't even know what he was saying, his language was completely illogical, he just said whatever came to his mind.

But he said it anyway.

He was afraid that if he didn't say it, he would never have the chance to say it again.

"Karen, I don't know when I fell in love with you. Was it when you told those warriors in Winterhold that you would die with them? Or was it when you never gave up on anyone along the way? Or was it when you stood up for me and blocked the halberd that was supposed to pierce my chest...

"I really don't know when I fell in love with you."

"But I know very well that when you said you were leaving me, my heart ached, as if it had been hollowed out. This is an eloquent statement that is closer to the truth than any words or analysis."

"Kallen, I love you, I really love you. Not because you are Kallen Telsk, not because you are the princess of the North, and not because you are a member of the Mechanicus, but simply because you are Kallen. I love you as a person, Kallen."

"If the North really cannot be saved, then... you will come with me, okay? I will take you away from here... Believe me, I have not lied to you in any way. If I lied to you, then... then let all the gods in this world. Oh no, let the truth never open the door to me."

Leo recounted his past experiences along the way, and the sadness in the red-haired girl's heart had already caused tears to seep from the corners of her eyes.

She turned her back to Leo, trembling and swallowing.

She was afraid that if she turned her head, she would burst into tears.

She really wanted to crawl into Leo's arms and tell this man that she had fallen in love with him.

But, no.

Her pride as a princess, the education she received since childhood, and her status as the heir to the North all restricted Kallen, preventing her from sharing her lover with other women.

Could it be that the next King of the North will become someone's mistress?

If this matter were to be known to the outside world, what would happen to the reputation of the Telsk family? How would she face her brother and father?

How should her people view her?

So, she could never accept such a thing happening, no matter how much she loved Leo.

Crystal tears flowed down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes. Karen took a deep breath and said in a broken voice: "Mr. Leo, thank you for showing up and thank you for your honesty. I understand your feelings, but... I can't accept sharing you with another woman."

"Based on what I know about you, you can't possibly give up on Miss Shikoti, right?"

"I won't force you to make a choice. That would be too painful."

"I won't ask you to recover the lost territory for me just because I saved you. That was originally my responsibility, not yours.

Besides, my father is dead and my brother has disappeared. I don’t think it’s possible for me to restore my country. Go away and let me fend for myself.”

"So, Leo, thank you."

Kallen took a step and walked out of the tent.

Chapter 95: Why think so much? Just do it.

Inside the tent on the west side.

The mechanical bird Nono landed on a makeshift desk and tilted its head to look at the female mechanic who was assembling equipment.
