Chapter 283: Sanctuary and the Saint Biron Continent
After all, that woman got pregnant quickly after being with the boss.
The boss was the most suspicious.
Li Meng glanced sideways, looking at Helen, who had already approached him.
The three little girls, Ame, obediently made way.
Li Meng slightly lowered his head and looked at Helen's belly.
Although it had been nearly a month since she got pregnant, her belly wasn't very noticeable.
Since it was a goblin hybrid, the gestation period would be extremely long.
The longer the gestation period, the greater the potential of the embryo.
Of course, the limit was two years.
Once it exceeded two years, it would harm the mother's body.
Although the gestation period was long, the growth cycle of goblin hybrids was very fast.
Of course, this "fast" was only compared to humans.
Compared to ordinary goblins, it was snail-like.
A goblin hybrid could reach adulthood in just five years.
Faced with the boss's gaze on her belly, Helen blushed slightly.
She subconsciously touched her belly with her hand.
"Hmm, finding the Light Slime is the purpose of my journey."
"Do you know where to find the Light Slime?"
Li Meng shook his head.
Although his future self had found the Light Slime on the Saint Biron Continent, it seemed to have taken quite some time.
A lot must have happened during the time he spent searching for the Light Slime on the Saint Biron Continent.
"I heard someone saw traces of the Light Slime in the Sanctuary. You could inquire about it."
"Sanctuary? What kind of place is that?"
Helen took a deep breath and leaned against the ship's railing with a smile.
"The Sanctuary is also a legendary place. It's said to be the resting place of the Sacred Dragon. Some adventurers claim to have been teleported to the Sanctuary while exploring dungeons. But whether it's true or not, I can't say. When I was adventuring on the Saint Biron Continent, there were occasional rumors of adventurers accidentally entering the Sanctuary. If you want to find the Light Slime, you could investigate this place."
Could this also be fate?
Helen's words made Li Meng scrutinize the woman beside him.
If it weren't for her words, he might have aimlessly searched for the Light Slime after reaching the Saint Biron Continent.
With Helen's reminder, at least he had a target now.
Although Xiao Bai might also know about these things, there was a chance he didn't.
In the time that followed, Li Meng chatted casually with Helen.
Helen frequently burst into laughter.
As an Earthling, although Li Meng was a bit of a recluse, he wasn't socially awkward.
He stayed home because he was tired of that society, not because he feared social interaction.
Helen's occasional laughter caught someone's attention.
That person was Payne, standing at the ship's helm.
While steering, he frequently glanced at the two at the bow.
"That man looks like an ordinary person, Payne, don't you think?"
At this moment, an elderly man approached with a knowing smile.
"Uh... yes, indeed!"
The elderly man, now beside Payne, patted him on the shoulder.
"Relax. We're not the same kind of people as that man. Helen surely understands that."
Payne had no words to respond to his father's remark.
Helen was his wife, after all.
As a man, how could he remain indifferent?
He merely suppressed his resentment and anger.
Payne understood that losing his temper would only disappoint Helen.
Moreover, he didn't sense much affection from that man toward Helen.
Although he was jealous, Payne wouldn't act rashly at this moment.
"Father, I understand!"
The elderly man smiled but said nothing further.
If Payne had no feelings, he'd be even more disappointed.
If Payne didn't care, it would mean he didn't love his wife, making her situation pitiful.
The one she loved, the one she had spent over a decade with, didn't love her in return.
Resentment and anger were emotions a husband ought to have.
Time passed little by little, and the journey continued.
Half a month later, in the morning.
"Land! It's land! Boss, we see land!"
The weather was great that day, with the blazing sun and a cloudless sky.
High in the sky, thousands of meters above sea level, an airship seemed to glide slowly.
At the bow, Ame's joyful exclamation rang out.
The passengers crowded the railings, looking at the distant continent.
Beyond the horizon in front of the airship appeared a seemingly endless coastline.
The ground was barren, devoid of vegetation.
Chains of mountains stretched endlessly to the horizon.
Standing on the bow, Li Meng looked curiously at the distant continent.
The Saint Biron Continent was a paradise for adventurers but also a death zone for life.
Creatures other than dungeon monsters couldn't survive on this land.
The entire Saint Biron Continent was a place where magic accumulated.
The remnants of ancient dragon power had eroded the land's vitality.
This transformed the continent into a lifeless wasteland.
Every part of the Saint Biron Continent was a barren wilderness.
No plants could survive there.
Even magical trees would mutate into terrifying dungeon monsters under the dungeon's influence.
"Are we almost there?"
"Yes, we should arrive in about three days."
"What will the Dungeon City, 'Oaklade,' be like? I can't wait to see!"
The passengers on the deck discussed excitedly.
After reaching the Saint Biron Continent, they'd be close to the Dungeon City "Oaklade."
Dungeon City "Oaklade"?
The adventurers' discussion caught Li Meng's attention.
In the future timeline, he had reached Dungeon City "Oaklade."
However, the future timeline's information was fragmented.
There were no details—just mentions of numerous events on the Saint Biron Continent.
But the future timeline had already deviated.
From the beginning, he hadn't followed its path.
Although the overall situation hadn't drastically changed, some things were bound to differ.
"Boss, once we reach Dungeon City 'Oaklade,' you won't abandon us, will you?"
Ame's words made Ame and Amay nervous.
The three girls looked at the boss with anticipation.
"Boss, we want to adventure with you. We may be weak now, but we'll surely grow stronger. If you're bored, we can keep you company and chat. You can even... um... squeeze Amay's chest if you like."
Amay and Ame quickly nodded.
"Yes, squeeze... huh?"
Realizing what was said, Amay glared at Ame angrily.
Facing Amay's furious gaze, Ame giggled sheepishly.
"What's the big deal? Among the three of us, yours are the biggest. Let the boss squeeze them—it's no loss."
Ame's words left Amay speechless.
She looked down at her prominent curves.
It seemed... true.
Amay looked at the boss and nodded.
"Boss, I'll grow more in the future. I'll definitely become as voluptuous as Helen."
Looking at the three little girls beside him, Li Meng pondered.
How did these three girls figure out his preferences?
Compared to young, slender women, he indeed preferred mature women with ample curves.
Such women were better for childbearing.
Some women might be beautiful, but one glance revealed they weren't suited for bearing children.
Li Meng had no interest in such women.
