Chapter 736: Arrival
As the planet got closer and closer, the blue marble became exceedingly vibrant.
The slime was already floating close to the window as it looked out into space.
“What is that?” it asked, pointing towards the planet with its translucent blue hands.
“That? That is a moon,” Ning explained. “Did your planet not have moons?”
“No,” the slime said. “Ours did have a massive ring going around the planet though. I didn’t see it in the last planet, and now this planet has rings. Are all planets like this?”
“Sort of,” Ning explained. “Some have nothing. Some have satellites, some have rings. Some are even made up of entirely gas. There are probably way more that I don’t even know about.”
As the planet got closer, the slime could see all the blue in it and was surprised at how much water was on this planet.
As the spaceship entered the planet’s atmosphere, it slowed down heavily as the thrusters immediately started doing their job.
At the same time, Ning quickly spoke with the system to figure out where they could land so the beasts could live on their own.
After a bit of discussion, Ning chose a place that was a bit further away from human civilization, but close enough that the Slime could sail there on a ship if it ever wanted to.
The location was a few hundred kilometers away from the Darius kingdom to the southwest.
Ning tapped a few things around the dashboard and the ship’s AI spoke up.
“Activating Camouflage.”
“What did it say?” the slime asked.
“I’m making the ship invisible,” Ning said while focusing on the ship’s dashboard. He had to tell the ship where it had to land.
Once the information was given, the ship’s AI would slowly hover the ship down to the island where the beasts would get off and they would return back to get more beasts.
Ning sat back at the ship drifted through the clouds and the slime was with absolute disbelief.
The first time around, the ship had left the atmosphere too quickly, so the slime had seen nothing. But now, as it slowly drifted down, when the clouds parted, the slime saw the most magnificent sight it had seen it all of its life.
The massive planet with lands so tiny got bigger and bigger as the land itself covered the entire view.
The island they were to land on was soon visible and Ning told the slime which it was.
Surrounded by a few islands off to the side, the island they were going to land on was an island with a rainforest, elevated by a few mountains in it.
Ning watched the ship scan the island to land, but there was no empty space for it.
In an instant, Ning teleported down to the ground and asked the system to scan for life around. He used a special frequency of sound to scare away all beasts from the area.
Then, he kicked the ground horizontally.
The sweeping kick resulted in an Air cutter forming from his feet that cut most of the trees from the very root.
Once the trees started toppling, Ning used his telekinesis to push all the trees away, and suddenly, there was a place for the ship to land.
The hanger doors opened and the beasts started pouring out one by one. The slime came out as it looked around the place with enthusiastic eyes.
Then, it walked over to Ning and said, “Your system is quite good, huh? You cleared this place so easily.”
“I’m sure you could do this too,” Ning said.
The slime shrugged, not bothering to argue on that topic.
“Keep looking around. Have your beasts get used to the surrounding. The sun should be setting any time now, so our next few trips will have to be during nighttime here,” Ning said.
“Oh, I didn’t realize it was close to evening time already,” the slime said as it looked at the sky that was slowly turning from blue to purple.
“Do what you have to for a few minutes, okay? I’ll return soon,” Ning said and disappeared.
He arrived back in the streets of the Darius kingdom. Since it was nighttime now, no one noticed him when he popped up in the streets out of nowhere. Not just that, it was also raining, so not many were in the streets, to begin with.
Ning quickly made his way to the palace and was allowed entry.
Then, he went to see the princess and found that she was with her parents.
“Teacher! You’re back,” the princess said the moment she saw him.
“Oh, did you get back here fine? Did you have any problem?” Ning asked.
The princess shook her head. “I was back in my room the moment the slime unsummoned me, teacher,” she said.
“What is she talking about?” the king asked. “She keeps saying she was summoned by a slime to make houses? What sort of nonsense did she go through?”
Ning sighed. “Do you remember the missing person report that was popping throughout the world?” he asked.
When the two royals nodded, Ning explained that it was because of the slime that had summoned the princess.
Ning explained that the slime didn’t have any particular bad intentions, but the parents of the kidnapped princess were reluctant to believe that.
“Teacher, where is slimy?” the princess asked.
“He’s near, why?” Ning asked.
“Can I go see him now?” she asked.
“You want to see this slime?” the king asked angrily.
“Yes,” the princess said. “I only came back because Teacher said you were worried about me. Now that you know that you don’t have to be worried, can I go”
“No!” the queen said without hesitation. She did not like the idea of her daughter going to visit a beast that she knew nothing about.
“But he’s a good beast, and I like playing with him,” the princess protested.
“How about this, princess,” Ning spoke. “Slimy is a little busy today, so I will bring him to visit you tomorrow, okay?”
