(Xun Guan POV)

I watched with mild jealousy as that Phoenix Girl collapsed onto the bed after being utterly satisfied by Master's tongue.

Master then dumped her beside him before moving to cuddle with the sleeping Cai Hong.

He motioned towards me so I slid off the chair in my slime form and went to cover Master up again as his bodysuit.

I took my time engulfing Master's body from his feet to his head, enjoying the sensation of Master's naked skin before I concentrated on morphing myself back into the Wugui's looks.

I turned my attention to the unconscious Feng Jie sleeping beside Master, somehow seeing that contented look on her face just pisses me off.

"Master… Maybe next time you should just let me knock her out instead," I suggested.

"Mmm… There's no need to. She did help me in her own way and it's not like I hate doing it with her either so it's fine."

"I still think it's a bit presumptuous of her to use Master like that."

"Oh? Are you jealous, Xun Guan?"

"N… No! Not at all, Master! I… I…" I spluttered, surprised that Master saw through me.

Master chuckled, "I'll give you something to suck on next time, ok?"

I gasped, "Thank you very much, Master!"

Master grinned at me before cuddling Cai Hong closer to his chest, "Alright now. I'm gonna call it a night so I'll see you in the morning."

"Good night Master."

I watched over Master as he drifted off to sleep, it's still a wonder that an omnipotent being like Master still indulges in sleeping.

Hmm? I seem to recall there was another omnipotent being following Master around, but why is it that I can't remember who it was?

Like they would stand in the corner of the room and… Eh? What was I thinking about again?

How odd.

I was still trying to figure out who I was forgetting when I heard the door creak open.

I instantly went on alert, no one should be coming in here this late at night and especially not unannounced. Whoever it was definitely wasn't here for a social visit.

The door opened a crack before closing, confusing me slightly since I saw no one at the door. Could it just have been the wind?

It was only after I extended my senses did I realise something else was inside the room.

A small red coloured slime slithered its way through the room, keeping itself as flat on the ground as possible to avoid detection.

This must be the real form of the Dark Sect monster Master was looking for, the one that had been 'copying' others by controlling their bodies.

I watched it carefully as it made its way towards the bed, the slime stopping its movement when it realised Cai Hong was there as well. No doubt it was expecting to only see Master and that horny phoenix so her presence was a surprise for the slime.

It stood there as though in thought for a few moments before it moved forward again.

If I'm right, this slime should be looking for its next victim to control and logically speaking, it should be aiming for the horny phoenix.

Since this place was supposed to be on lockdown, it should be baffling for this slime that this phoenix managed to come in here. It would make sense if it wanted to control her and gain her memories at the same time, allowing it to figure out what happened and also make use of her influence to get what it wants.

But what surprised me was that the slime wasn't even targeting the phoenix, it was targeting Master from the start.

It slithered up Master's arm to reach his face and shrunk itself down, no doubt aiming to enter Master's ear.

When it tried to dive into Master's ear however, I immediately expanded that part of me and engulfed it with my body, the red slime only noticing my presence when it was too late.

I shot out the part containing the red slime out the window, leaving a copy of me behind to continue protecting Master while I brought the intruder along with me to the courtyard outside.

Once I landed on the ground, I spat out the red slime while maintaining my slime form, watching the red slime carefully.

The red slime took a few moments to orientate itself before turning its attention to me.

I thought it might start questioning me first but unexpectedly, it started attacking me by shooting out a water blade.

I wiggled in displeasure since I had hoped to at least glean some information from it first so that Master could praise me tomorrow, but it seems like it wasn't interested or was incapable of conversation.

No big deal, I just have to restrain it and have it brought in front of Master when he wakes up tomorrow. I'd be a terrible guard if I had to wake Master for something as trivial as this.

I ducked under the water blade and launched myself towards the red slime.

It shot out several more water blades at me but I managed to manipulate my form in midair to avoid the blades.

The red slime then morphed a part of its body into a whip before throwing it at me.

Using a water jet shot out from underneath me, I altered my trajectory slightly upwards to allow the whip to sail harmlessly below me.

I landed in front of the red slime but it was ready for me as a spike from its body was shot out to impale me right in the centre of my body.

The red slime seemed to relax for a moment before suddenly blurting out, "No slime core?"

Oh now you feel like talking? Well too bad for you because my slime core is in the safest place in existence and I don't want to risk you killing yourself or escaping so the time for talking is over.

I enlarged my body and consumed the red slime, using the spike it had impaled me with to hold it in place and prevent it from escaping.

It only had time to give out a cry of alarm before my body closed in around it, engulfing the slime entirely and placing it in stasis inside me.

I waited for a few moments to make sure it was properly captured before bouncing my way back to Master's side.

Ehehehe~ I hope Master praises me a lot for this! Then I can get to see that stupid phoenix gnash her teeth in frustration as I bask in all of Master's attention!

Ehehehehe~ I can't wait for tomorrow to come already~
