I am the emperor of Mengwang

"Then I'll leave it to you, Xiao."

A hint of relief and satisfaction flashed in Mo Li's eyes.

After naming Xie Yue and others, Mo Li's magic energy was consumed a lot. In order to go out, Mo Li had to make necessary preparations.

After experiencing several major changes, the people of Tempest gradually became mature.

With Mo Li's instigation, Rimuru also became bogged down in Tempest's official duties and had no time for fun.

In Tempest, monsters of all sizes were busy.

Xue Yue and Li Shui began their long-awaited retreat because of Mo Li's immortal magic inheritance.

Liuyun was different. After seeing so many novel gadgets in Tempest, he was very curious and went to Kaijin and other technicians every day to ask questions.

In order to better fulfill the responsibility entrusted by Mo Li, Xiao directly asked Kai Jin and Krut to build an inn in an open space not far from Tempest and guard it there to better prevent danger.

After learning from the lessons of Laplace and others, Ruo Tuo, the former Tempest Street scoundrel, began to work hard and came to Mo Li to start special training.

In order to better train them, Rota directly threw the army of rock dragon lizards to Rimuru and asked her to make the arrangements.

Do whatever you should do, even if it means doing hard labor.

Anyway, I have something to do, so my subordinates can't be idle either.

In this way, tens of thousands of dragon lizards began their hard working career.

With the help of the dragon lizard army, the workload of the pig-headed people such as Krut was greatly reduced.

After all, dragon lizards are good at both pulling things and mining.

After Xie Yue and others received the name bestowed by Mo Li, their strength was stuck at the Half-Step Special A Level. With their joining and the original strength of Tempest, the overall strength of Tempest was no weaker than some large forces at this time.

…………

Time always passes by quietly without us noticing, and soon a month has passed.

Tempest has undergone many changes during this month.

Under the influence of Mo Li's flower-growing genes, Rimuru frantically started infrastructure construction, and was no less capable than Mo Li, the flower-growing infrastructure maniac in his previous life.

Roads need to be repaired, houses need to be built, systems need to be improved...

No matter what can be done or not, Rimuru has to intervene first.

…………

At this time, Mo Li was standing in an inn not far from Tempest, looking at the brightly lit Tempest from afar, his eyes revealing relief and reluctance.

"Emperor, I have handed over those books to Benimaru and others as you instructed. I have also explained your instructions to the people around Rimuru-sama."

At this moment, a cold voice came from behind Mo Li. It was Xiao who was guarding the inn to better protect Tempest's safety.

At this moment, Xiao still looked as cool and handsome as before, but he was wearing the clothes that were specially given to him by Mo Li. His originally aloof and cold temperament was fully displayed by this set of clothes. Upon closer inspection, he did not look like a monster but rather like an immortal who had attained enlightenment.

"Xiao, thank you for your hard work."

Mo Li spoke lightly.

"Emperor, I don't know why you want me to..."

Mo Li was not surprised by Xiao's question.

"Don't you already have the answer in your heart?"

Mo Li's words made Xiao's eyes become a little dim. He didn't expect that this day would finally come.

“Emperor, are you not going to say goodbye to Lord Rimuru and the others?”

Xiao seemed to have thought of something, and said to Mo Li with some reluctance.

"No, saying goodbye in person will only add to the sadness. It would be easier for me to just leave like this."

Mo Li slowly shook his head and rejected Xiao's proposal.

"Emperor, you are going out alone..."

At this time, Xiao was still unwilling to give up and hoped that Mo Li could take him with him.

"Xiao, Tempest needs you more than I do right now. What I have to do this time is of great importance. I may not be back for a long time. The world outside is too dangerous, so it is best for me to leave alone."

Mo Li rejected Xiao's request. The current plot has become quite confusing, and even Mo Li could not predict a lot. Mo Li didn't know what he would experience on this journey, so the best choice was for him to go alone.

Hearing Mo Li's words, Xiao lowered his head in disappointment. For the first time, he felt how weak his strength was. He thought that things would change after being promoted to Special A level, but he was wrong. It was still not enough. The strength of Special A level was still too weak.

His desire for strength at this moment had almost reached an unprecedented level.

Looking at the lost Xiao, Li Qiye shook his head, walked up to Xiao, and slowly stroked his head.

"Protect Tempest for me, and protect everyone for me. I'm counting on you to do this."

Mo Li's words reached Xiao's ears, and Xiao's originally dim eyes instantly became firm.

"Yes, Emperor. If a crisis comes, I will be Tempest's first line of defense."

Looking at Xiao, whose eyes were full of determination, Mo Li nodded with satisfaction.

Mo Li slowly walked out of the inn.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Looking at Mo Li's departing back, Xiao knelt on one knee.

"I wish the Emperor a triumphant return."

Mo Li did not stop. As time passed, Mo Li's figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.

…………

At this time, on a high ground somewhere in the town of Tempest.

Rimuru looked at Mo Li's departing back, and his eyes were red. Because Mo Li was away this time, he didn't know when they could meet again.

"My best friend, based on Ali's strength, he will be back soon, don't worry."

Milim comforted him.

Behind Rimulu, there were Ruota, the three great immortals, the four elders of the ancient rock dragon lizards, Hongwan, Shion, Shunai, Bai Lao, Cangyi, Ligurd, Gerudo and other high-level officials, all of whom were here to see off Mo Li's departure.

Looking at Rimuru who was obviously in a bad mood, Rota felt a little headache.

“Rimuru, if you are so reluctant to let him go, why don’t you persuade Morax to stay?”

Hearing Ruota's question, Rimuru spoke very seriously.

"Because this is Ali's own choice. Just like Ali would never stop me, I will not let him get into trouble because of me."

"You two are really weird. Each one... Oh, forget it. Just handle your own affairs. I don't understand anyway."

Ruota scratched his head and said irritably.

"Ali, I will definitely protect our home until you come back."

Rimuru looked at the direction where Mo Li left and said firmly in his heart.
