Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

"Alright, Sally, don't look anymore. Go get some rest."

After the crowd below had mostly dispersed, Lu Minghao looked up at Sally. Her small face was covered in dust and showed a tired expression. Even though she had awakened a portion of her demon bloodline, Sally was still just a child under ten years old.

In just half a month, they had crossed several kingdom territories to reach the Kingdom of Yst, and had to face various magical creatures and ill-intentioned adventurers along the way. She was already exhausted, so Sally needed to rest and recover her strength before handling any matters.

"I understand, Minghao."

Sally nodded her little head and, without letting go of Lu Minghao, lay down on the bed while still hugging him. Just a few seconds after her head hit the pillow, the sound of even breathing began, and she fell into a deep sleep, a faint smile on her face.

"Sleep well, Sally. When you wake up again, you'll find that everything is different."

Lu Minghao looked at Sally's sleeping face and reached out a hand to stroke her cheek. The magic essence within his body began to flow rapidly, and the 'Gluttony' talent activated. The constant stream of magic essence was converted into 'Gluttony Power' and began to merge into Sally's body little by little.

Over the past half month, with a large supply of nutrients, Sally's previously underdeveloped body had reached the strength to be granted 'Gluttony Power'. Coupled with the initial awakening of her demon bloodline, it was the best time to transform her into his own familiar.

As long as he successfully endowed Sally with 'Gluttony Power', relying on the abundant nutrients on the battlefield, Sally's demon bloodline would soon be fully awakened and become stronger and stronger, becoming Lu Minghao's help.

........

In the slightly dim room, the orange-red sunset shone through the window onto the bed. The pair of small, cute demon horns on Sally's forehead had now turned pitch black. Sharp demon horns emerged from her hair, and wisps of purple-black aura wrapped around them, as if roaring to devour everything.

"So hungry."

At this moment, Sally slowly opened her eyes, her purple pupils filled with appetite. She kept muttering that she was hungry, and instinctively grabbed the package beside her pillow, pulling out a few strips of jerky, stuffing them all into her mouth. The originally hard, dry jerky was crushed and swallowed by Sally in a few bites. Only after all the food in the package was eaten did Sally regain a trace of reason.

"What's wrong with me?"

After regaining a bit of reason, Sally also noticed the changes in herself. The food she ate turned into a warm current that filled her body in the blink of an eye, and a constant stream of power was surging from within her body. Moreover, the amount of magic essence had also increased a lot compared to before.

"Sally, how do you feel?"

At this time, Lu Minghao's voice came from the side. At this moment, his body, originally like a sapphire, had dimmed a lot, and the amount of magic essence emitted had become weaker than ever before. During the process of transforming Sally into his own familiar, Lu Minghao had almost exhausted all of his magic essence.

Even now, he had only recovered a little more than half.

"Feel... so hungry."

Sally tilted her little head and thought seriously for a moment, then covered her stomach and looked at Lu Minghao pitifully. She was really hungry now, so hungry that she even wanted to take a bite out of the pillow and walls around her.

"... Then let's go eat first."

Lu Minghao looked at Sally in front of him with a helpless expression. He originally thought that Sally would notice the changes in her body and ask him about it, but he didn't expect that she would tell him that she was hungry.

"Mmm-hmm!"

Hearing Lu Minghao's words, Sally jumped off the bed and picked up Lu Minghao, running towards the outside of the room. But fortunately, when she was about to open the door, she remembered that her appearance could not be seen by others, and quickly put on the gray-black robe hanging on the side.

Half an hour later, on the first floor of the inn, a group of adventurers were staring blankly at a corner. They saw a table there piled with plates, and several waiters were carrying away the finished plates while serving food.

But even so, the figure in the black robe was still urging them to hurry up and serve the food, while picking up the plates full of food in front of her and pouring them directly into her mouth. She didn't even chew a few times before swallowing it directly.

Her body, which looked thin, was like a bottomless pit, able to eat any amount of food. Moreover, as she ate more and more, the aura she emitted became strange, as if a monster was constantly roaring behind her, her scarlet eyes filled with endless appetite.

"Faster!"

Sally raised her head and urged the waiter in front of her, then grabbed the grilled meat in front of her, stuffing it directly into her mouth and chewing the bones together before swallowing it. At this time, the nutrients converted from a large amount of food made the demon bloodline in her body flow crazily, and the magic essence was constantly rising, and even her body began to become hot.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The waiter who was stared at by Sally nodded quickly, holding the empty plate in his arms and running towards the back kitchen, fearing that he would be swallowed alive by the person in the black robe in front of him in the next second.

After all, the feeling Sally gave him was too terrifying, as if he was facing not a person, but a magical creature that had been hungry for who knows how long.

Another hour later, when the sky outside had completely darkened, Sally finally stopped eating this time. At this time, the aura on Sally's body also began to calm down little by little, but the amount of magic essence emitted had increased a lot compared to before.

If Sally's magic essence was only at the level of a low-level magical creature (F-rank) before, then she has now advanced to a lower-level magical creature (E-rank), which can be called a qualitative change. At least adventurers with E-rank strength are already qualified to independently form their own teams and take on some tasks to hunt down low-level magical creatures.

After all, for ordinary humans and adventurers, apart from some natural freaks and heroes, E-rank is already considered a good strength, able to independently hunt down lower-level magical creatures.

"That, this adventurer, is it..."

At this time, the innkeeper approached with a smile, raised his hand to Sally, and rubbed his two fingers together. He really didn't dare to approach Sally when she was eating before. Only now that he saw Sally had returned to normal did he hurry over.

You must know that Sally had just eaten all the food in his inn for three days. Now that he sees Sally has returned to normal, he must come to ask for money for the food. Of course, he doesn't dare to ask for too much, after all, the aura Sally emitted just now was too terrifying, as if it was an extremely tyrannical magical creature.

"Here you go."

Sally raised her head and glanced at the boss, directly threw the purse hanging on her waist to him, and without caring whether it was enough, turned around and walked upstairs. And behind her, the innkeeper opened the purse and looked at it. Although it was a little short of the price of the things Sally had eaten, it was enough for the material cost.

Therefore, the boss did not chase after her, but instead beckoned the waiter to start cleaning up the mess and ordering new ingredients.
