Chapter 179: Surprise and Gift
At this moment, the Throne Tribe could truly be called the Throne Tribe.
Although he had not yet become the true Goblin King, in the eyes of the goblins, he had already evolved into the legendary "Goblin King."
It wasn't until Li Meng returned to the Throne Palace that the shouting outside gradually subsided.
In front of the Throne Palace:
"Ammon, isn't it time to expand the Throne Palace again?"
Looking at the palace before him, Li Meng's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
Originally, he wanted to give Vanessa a surprise.
Now it seemed that the surprise could only be given earlier than planned.
Looking down at Vanessa beside him, Li Meng grinned.
"Vanessa, I want to give you a gift!"
Gift?
Vanessa's eyes lit up, her face full of expectation.
With a sly smile, Li Meng silently used the Transformation Spell.
Under Vanessa's expectant gaze, a strange scene unfolded.
Ammon's body began to twist.
Accompanied by cracking sounds, muscles, bones, and skin contracted inward.
The originally tall body shrank rapidly, visible to the naked eye.
In just a short while, it had reduced to a height of two meters.
"How about it? Isn't this gift interesting?"
Li Meng examined himself from top to bottom, very satisfied with his two-meter-small stature.
Originally, goblins of this size tended to have potbellies.
But at this moment, he did not have one.
His body looked extremely muscular and powerful, like a strong warrior.
Looking at Vanessa, who was staring at him in astonishment, Li Meng grinned again.
Taking a few steps forward, he spread his arms and embraced her plump body tightly.
With their similar statures, for the first time, Li Meng felt the fleshiness of Vanessa's voluptuous figure.
"Vanessa, it feels much better to hold you like this!"
Ammon's voice by her ear snapped Vanessa back to reality.
"Ammon, do you have the ability to devour other creatures' powers?"
Ammon's sudden shrinking reminded Vanessa of Skurg.
Skurg could freely shift between large and small forms.
Connecting this to Ammon's consumption of Skurg, the association wasn't difficult to make.
Li Meng lowered his head, gazing at Vanessa's beautiful face.
"Vanessa, don't you like me this way?"
Vanessa gently shook her head.
She gazed at Ammon's ugly yet charming face with admiration.
"No matter what you look like, I like you all the same!"
Upon hearing this, Li Meng lowered his head and kissed Vanessa on the lips.
A trace of shyness flashed through Vanessa's eyes.
This was her first kiss with Ammon.
Unconsciously, she stretched her hands to embrace Ammon's neck.
It was also Li Meng's first kiss since coming to this other world.
Even though there were many females around him, the female Lizardmen were not suitable for kissing.
After all, the head structure of Lizardmen was vastly different from goblins.
Vanessa, however, was different.
Both goblins and Dark Elves had head and facial structures similar to humans.
Kissing was a natural thing.
After a while, Li Meng released Vanessa, who was panting softly.
Vanessa shyly lowered her head.
With Ammon now smaller, their way of interacting also had to change.
Things that were previously impossible were no longer regrets.
"Haha, let's go home!"
Laughing heartily, Li Meng wrapped his arm around Vanessa's waist and walked toward the doors of the Throne Palace.
"Bo... Boss?"
As soon as they entered the Throne Palace, exclamations of surprise echoed from the main hall.
The female Lizardmen cleaning the hall lowered their heads shyly.
Although they didn't know why the boss had become smaller, they could still smell the boss's scent.
But the boss entering the hall was completely naked.
The reaction of the female Lizardmen caused Li Meng's face to change slightly.
It was only then that he realized the chill below.
"From now on, call me King!"
Li Meng let go of Vanessa's waist.
He ran up the stairs leading to the second floor.
Watching Ammon, who seemed a bit embarrassed, Vanessa covered her mouth with a smile.
She had wanted to remind Ammon earlier.
But seeing his nonchalant attitude, she decided not to say anything.
After all, the female Lizardmen in the Throne Palace were just tools for reproduction.
If they saw it, so be it.
However, judging by Ammon's current appearance, he clearly still cared.
Leaving the first-floor hall, Li Meng hurried up to the third-floor harem quarters.
"Boss?"
At the doorway of his bedchamber, Li Meng encountered a female Lizardman.
He didn't know her name.
Grabbing her hand, Li Meng pulled her into the chamber.
Once inside, Li Meng quickly pulled the female Lizardman to the bedside and slipped under the covers.
"Go fetch me some clothes, ones that fit this size now!"
The female Lizardman smiled slightly.
Although she didn't know why the boss had shrunk, or why he had returned naked, she didn't ask.
She turned and quickly left.
Once she was out the door, Li Meng lay flat on the bed.
"Huh, what's this!"
It wasn't until he lay down that Li Meng noticed the changes in his chamber.
The previously empty room now had some decorations and fabrics.
White curtains were added, and the bed was covered with a soft, silky spider silk blanket.
Lizardmen were quite smart.
As long as they were given an idea, they could think like humans.
The intelligence of Lizardmen was not inferior to humans.
With spider silk, they began crafting textiles based on their needs.
"Still, the colors are a bit dull!"
Looking at the overwhelming white, Li Meng thought to himself.
He didn't like white.
Compared to white, he preferred red and black.
But under the current conditions, white wasn't unacceptable.
It was still better than nothing.
Before long, three female Lizardmen entered with a stack of spider silk fabric.
"King, let us take your measurements!"
Li Meng stepped out of bed, naked, and stretched out his arms, letting the female Lizardmen do their work.
The female Lizardmen blushed slightly as they measured the King's body.
One of them approached with a measuring tape and began taking his dimensions.
The measuring tape was another tool Li Meng had taught the Lizardmen to use.
Slightly turning his head, Li Meng observed the maids' attire.
In less than half a month, the maids' clothing had completely switched to spider silk dresses.
The style was no different from their previous leather garments.
The upper body consisted of a top that only covered the chest, leaving the waist exposed.
The lower body was a short skirt, somewhat reminiscent of ancient Egyptian clothing.
It wasn't unattractive and suited the climate of the Goblin Forest well.
The Goblin Forest was hot, with little temperature variation throughout the year.
When temperatures dropped slightly, heavy rain would follow.
Then the Goblin River would enter its flood season, typically occurring in March and April each year.
"King, please wait!"
After taking the measurements, two of the female Lizardmen turned and left quickly.
Only one female Lizardman stayed behind.
