Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 50

Chapter 50:

For that one sentence, “I’d do anything for a friend,” Qi Fu couldn’t sleep all night, tossing and turning in bed, thinking.

Ji Yulin watched Ji An as if she were the apple of her eye. The moment she had finished buying clothes, she had been eager to take her back. Even she couldn’t follow. Qi Fu was helpless, feeling that it would be difficult to find another opportunity to get close to Ji An in the short term.

So…

She had to think of a legitimate reason to get Ji Yulin to take Ji An out.

Qi Fu suddenly sat up, her hands messing up her golden hair. She finally remembered that after eliminating the darkness, they had not yet held a celebration banquet.

Right, at the celebration banquet, she would have someone lead Ji An away, and then she would go and seduce Ji An.

Qi Fu rubbed her chin, couldn’t help but marvel at her own intelligence.

Although she, Qi Fu, was not as beautiful as Ji Yulin, she was still quite attractive. She was also the only biological daughter of the district chief of the Thirteenth District, and the only person with special abilities in the safe zone.

Who hadn’t dreamed of flying? At that time, she would first charm Ji An with her face, then show off her wealth, and then show off her golden eagle wings, taking the other for a flight, a mix of speed and passion. She didn’t believe the other wouldn’t be moved.

If she really wasn’t proactive, wasn’t there that suspension bridge effect? She would just take her flying up and down, like bungee jumping. The faster her heart beat, the more she would be moved.

The more Qi Fu thought, the happier she became. She almost chuckled.

She actually had the ability to steal Ji Yulin’s woman. She was really getting more and more amazing.

As she was thinking, she was full of satisfaction, completely ignoring the fact that her mother had been trying so hard to temporarily suppress her special ability during this time.

Qi Fu thought and thought, and the more she thought, the more satisfied she became. She couldn’t wait to jump up, rush out the door, and knock on her mom’s door.

—Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Mom, are you asleep? You shouldn’t be asleep, right? If you’re not asleep, let’s have a celebration banquet tomorrow.”

“Eliminating the darkness is such a big deal. We should celebrate, right? Have a commendation ceremony, and then a celebration banquet. We must, must invite Professor Ji.”

“Mom? Mom, did you hear me?”

The room suddenly fell silent. Someone frantically pulled the blanket to cover themselves. Qi Peilan frantically helped and cursed at the outside, “You little brat, why are you shouting in the middle of the night instead of sleeping!”

Qi Fu didn’t understand. Her mind was only on her good friend Li An. She continued to shout, “I want to have a celebration banquet.”

The commotion inside disappeared again. She tilted her head in confusion and was about to press her ear against the door when something was suddenly thrown from inside, crashing heavily against the wooden board, startling Qi Fu and almost making her jump.

“Mom, Mom, what are you doing?!”

“What are you angry about? Isn’t this because I’m worried about Ji An An? If I don’t work hard, what will she do…”

The voice inside was furious, and she shouted, “What kind of celebration banquet? People are sleeping now. What are you thinking about? Get lost!”

Qi Fu was stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and frantically ran out.

Right, how could she have forgotten that those two were sleeping in the same room? She had to go and watch, in case they cooked the rice, what would Li An do!

In the room, Su Ye and Qi Peilan, who had been interrupted midway, heard the sound of the door closing. The two of them looked at each other helplessly and let out a pained sigh.

There was no way to continue. They might as well wash up and go to sleep.

And in the villa on the other side.

The situation Qi Fu was worried about did not happen. Ji Yulin and Li An were in separate rooms.

This idea had actually been proposed by Ji Yulin first.

She had considered that Li An had just turned into a person and might not be used to her current identity and their previous relationship, so she had wanted to give Li An some time to adjust.

But unexpectedly, the moment she finished speaking, Li An had nodded emphatically and agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Li An thought, Ji Yulin spent the afternoon with me out of a sense of responsibility. The other octopus must be unhappy and is making a fuss about wanting Ji Yulin to accompany her.

So, she could pretend to agree, and then sneak over in the middle of the night to catch them in the act.

She wanted to see what kind of stinky octopus dared to seduce Ji Yulin while she was in a coma.

How could that creature be as good as her? She was cute and considerate, could communicate with people, and could even change size. How could there be a second such perfect octopus in this world!

Li An agreed very quickly but did not see Ji Yulin’s increasingly gloomy expression, her whole aura becoming sharp and oppressive.

And then…

She had moved Li An’s things with a cold face. Just as she was standing at the door, suppressing her emotions and softening her expression, about to say a few words of advice.

She saw Li An impatiently say, “Good night, Professor Ji.”

Before the words had faded, the door she was holding was pushed over, creating a gust of wind that blew up the ends of Ji Yulin’s hair and the corner of her clothes.

—Bang!

The ends of her hair fell, and the corner of her shirt pressed back against her suit pants. Ji Yulin’s face was cold. She stared at the closed wooden door, which was so close, and her tightly pressed lips moved, but she couldn’t say a single word.

She didn’t know how long she had stood there before she turned and left. The fist that had been hanging by her side loosened, and a bunch of crescent-shaped hollows were pinched in her palm.

Li An stood by the door, listening to the footsteps disappear. For some reason, she let out a sigh of relief, then turned and threw herself into the soft bed.

If Ji Yulin didn’t leave, she would urge her.

When Ji Yulin left, she felt unhappy again.

Her whole face was buried in the bedding. She was very annoyed. Her mind was filled with images of Ji Yulin feeding another octopus.

Would Ji Yulin also peel shrimp for it, squeeze fruit juice for it, and take care of it considerately?

Would it also call Ji Yulin “Mama,” wrap its tentacles around her fingertips, and even…

Do more outrageous things?

Li An buried her head hard, trying to block her mouth and nose with the fabric, trying to use this extreme method to force herself not to think wildly. But her thoughts were in a mess. How could they be stopped so easily? Instead, all other thoughts were suppressed, and it was completely these.

So annoying.

Li An was suffocating but refused to pull her head out, deliberately tormenting herself in this way.

But what was the use of tormenting herself? No matter how miserable she was, she could only see it herself. And Ji Yulin was already coaxing another octopus.

Hot mist condensed at the corners of her eyes, staining the thin fabric with a wet mark.

Li An felt wronged in her heart, but she had no one to tell. She could only hold it in, feeling sad and wronged.

For some reason, Li An had just been about to reach out and wipe away her tears when she saw her familiar round, short tentacles.

Huh?

Li An blinked, her face full of confusion, and her gaze fell.

One tentacle, two tentacles… eight tentacles?

She had turned back into a little octopus?

Li An’s eyes were filled with hot tears. Her two tentacles hugged the middle tentacle. In her excitement, she flattened the chubby tentacle. She had never felt so close to these troublemakers before.

She was still an octopus. Ji Yulin could finally throw away that substitute!

Her tentacles excitedly whipped on the blanket, like an excited puppy that only knew how to wag its tail.

Human!

I, Hu Octopus, am back!

A tentacle grabbed the side of the bed and climbed down at an extremely fast speed, eager to tell Ji Yulin this good news.

But in the next second, a sound came from the half-open window.

The little octopus paused and looked over warily.

After a brief sound, the outside of the window fell silent. Someone carefully looked in, and upon seeing the little octopus, their tense nerves relaxed, and they called out in a low voice, “Ji An An?”

“Ji An An, it’s me.”

Qi Fu?

The little octopus blinked. The tentacle that had been heading for the door turned and pattered toward the window.

And Qi Fu, with her hands on the window sill, lifted her left leg and hooked the edge, and with a hard pull, she pulled herself into the room.

The moment she landed, she sat down on her butt, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then fanned herself with her hand, constantly complaining, “Why is this wall so hard to climb? I’m exhausted.”

The little octopus had just climbed in front of her, her azure eyes filled with confusion. Fearing that Qi Fu wouldn’t understand, she made a question mark on her head with a tentacle.

Qi Fu chuckled and explained, “The sound of my wings flapping is too loud, so I had to climb the wall.”

The question mark on her head remained unchanged. It was clear that this was not what Li An wanted to ask.

Qi Fu scratched her head and said, “Are you asking why I’m here…”

The last word was suddenly drawn out and then cut off. Qi Fu’s eyes widened, and she suddenly reacted, her mouth chattering on, “Were you locked in here by Ji Yulin?”

The little octopus blinked blankly.

Huh?

Locked what?

Qi Fu’s voice did not stop, her speech extremely fast, “She locked you in here and went to have fun with that third party?”

The little octopus caught the keyword.

Third party!

Ji Yulin really has another octopus!

“She’s really not a good person. Even if she doesn’t like you anymore, she can’t lock you in the next room. What if you hear something? It’s so bad for a little octopus’s mental health,” Qi Fu couldn’t help but complain with a pained expression.

She didn’t forget to compare and contrast, “My moms both know to avoid me. When I was little, I was sent to the room furthest from them.”

The little octopus blinked.

This seemed to be what she had requested, to make it easier to catch the third party later.

But she had no time to defend Ji Yulin. She saw Qi Fu ask again, “An An, how many days have you been in a coma?”

Before the little octopus could answer, she saw Qi Fu suddenly lean in and say, “Forget it, it’s not important. You’ve been locked up by Ji Yulin. How would you know how many days you’ve been in a coma?”

Ji Yulin really hadn’t told her this.

The little octopus’s slow mind was still on the last question. It couldn’t be blamed on her. Qi Fu had appeared too suddenly, just as she had squeezed in through the window, and had immediately told her that Ji Yulin had a third party.

Although Li An had been guessing before, without seeing Ji Yulin’s new love, she had always maintained a sliver of doubt.

She had a little hope in her heart, thinking that Ji Yulin was not such a fickle person, and that perhaps she had just misunderstood.

But with Qi Fu saying this, that little bit of luck was extinguished, and her mind was filled with the thought that Ji Yulin really had a new love.

And Qi Fu was not done. She grabbed her tentacles with both hands and said with extreme grief, “An An, do you know how outrageous Ji Yulin is?”

Li An looked up at her, her expression sad and confused.

“She! She’s even spending money on that new love!” Qi Fu was almost crying with anger.

The little octopus’s eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Qi Fu seemed to understand and shook her head, explaining, “I saw it with my own eyes. She spent a lot of money on her, and bought her a lot of clothes.”

She’s even spending money on her new love!

The tentacle that was being pulled didn’t feel any pain. On the contrary, her heart began to ache.

“Ji Yulin likes that creature very much. The moment she left, she would eagerly follow.”

So Ji Yulin likes it that much. No wonder she was so eager to sleep in a separate room from her. Now she’s probably hugging her new love and whispering sweet nothings to her.

“I also saw her wipe the new love’s mouth. Her tone was so doting.”

Li An felt like crying. The tentacles behind her lay limply on the floor.

So Ji Yulin would also be considerate to other creatures and do the same things.

Qi Fu grabbed her tentacles with righteous indignation and said in a heavy voice, “Li An, don’t be afraid. You still have me as a friend. I will help you.”

A hint of expectation flashed in her azure eyes. A tentacle took the initiative to grab Qi Fu’s index finger. Li An held her big head high and looked at her pitifully.

“I won’t just stand by and watch you be wronged. I will definitely help you drive that creature away. Don’t worry, you still have me,” Qi Fu gritted her teeth.

In her extreme hatred, she was even unwilling to call that creature a person, always calling her “third party” and “that creature,” which made the little octopus misunderstand even more.

The little octopus was so moved that her eyes were filled with hot tears. She felt that it was worth it to have been bitten by Qi Fu before, even if it had hurt so much that she had almost fainted.

To have such a friend was a blessing she had accumulated over several lifetimes!

Qi Fu, you’re so good!

We’ll be the best of the best in the world from now on!

Qi Fu understood Li An’s expression and felt more and more that the little octopus was simple and clean. Others were just a little nice to her, and she was so moved.

What kind of hard life had she lived in the sea before!

Qi Fu’s heart ached. She emphasized her words and promised again, “Li An, don’t worry. I’ve already had someone investigate. I will definitely find out all eighteen generations of that creature’s ancestors, and then let Ji Yulin see her true colors and drive her out of the Thirteenth District.”

Do octopuses have eighteen generations of ancestors?

Li An wasn’t very clear, but maybe this was an exaggeration? To prove that Qi Fu was very attentive and was working hard to help her.

The little octopus nodded emphatically. Two tentacles held Qi Fu’s hand and swung it hard.

Then I’ll leave it to you!

“Don’t worry. Even if I have to give my body and soul, I will drive that creature away!” Qi Fu’s face was full of determination.

Is it an exaggeration again?

The little octopus nodded emphatically again.

The human and the octopus had a heart-to-heart for a long time, and they even finished the milk that Ji Yulin had prepared for Li An on the table.

Qi Fu rubbed her full stomach and said with a heavy heart, “I was originally going to come and find Ji Yulin today and watch her, so she wouldn’t go and find her new love. But I didn’t expect to find you first.”

The little octopus was a little dizzy from the milk. She dazedly pulled at the cup and looked at Qi Fu.

“Now the plan has changed a little, but it’s okay. At least I found you and told you about this,” Qi Fu looked up at the sky and sighed softly.

She thought, How could Ji Yulin be this kind of person? How could she do such a malicious thing to Li An after she had risked her life to save her, when she had just woken up from a coma and was at her most vulnerable?

How sad must Li An An be?

Qi Fu sniffled, and the sour taste suppressed the milky taste in her mouth. She continued, “Don’t be too sad, An An. There are so many good people in the world. At worst, I’ll find you another mom. No, that’s not right.”

She had a flash of inspiration and slapped her thigh, “I have two moms. I can give you one of my moms.”

Qi Fu thought she was a genius and said excitedly, “In the future, I’ll call my mom ‘Mom,’ and you’ll call Aunt Su ‘Mom.’ We’ll be sisters with different moms and different species!”

Huh?

Qi Fu is so generous?

The little octopus’s expression was stunned for a moment, and then she shook her head frantically with extreme horror.

Su Ye and Qi Peilan had both given her gifts. They were so good to her. She couldn’t break up this family. She couldn’t do it! And she shouldn’t!

Seeing Li An refuse, Qi Fu actually thought the little octopus had a conscience. In this Thirteenth District, how many people envied her and longed to have two mothers who doted on her like she did? Only Li An, and only Li An, was afraid that her mother’s love would be divided and had firmly refused this opportunity.

Clearly, she had been abandoned by Ji Yulin and had become such a lonely octopus, yet she was still thinking for her.

“Li An…” Qi Fu was a little choked up.

Li An also thought Qi Fu was a good person. For a friend, she could actually do such a “filial” thing. She was also moved to tears.

“Li An…”

Qi Fu…

Qi Fu sniffled, and the sour taste suppressed the milky taste in her mouth. She continued, “It was worth it to run over here in the middle of the night without sleeping and climb the wall to tell you this.”

The little octopus nodded forcefully.

“But now the plan has changed. We must not alert the enemy, in case Ji Yulin and that creature find out and ruin my future plans.”

The little octopus nodded in deep agreement.

Qi Fu once again held her tentacles and persuaded her with a heavy heart, “I know you’re very sad, but you must endure it and wait for my action, okay?”

“This time, in the operation to eliminate the darkness, you were the one who held it back, greatly reducing the casualties in the Thirteenth District, so that the entire army was not wiped out.”

Her voice was heavy, “You are the benefactor of the entire Thirteenth District. Without you eliminating the darkness, the entire coastline would have fallen, and the Thirteenth District would have been destroyed. It’s just that because of your current identity, we can’t thank you in public.”

“But my mom and I both remember that you saved my mom, me, and Aunt Su’s lives. You are the benefactor of our Thirteenth District. I won’t just stand by and watch you be bullied and wronged.”

This heart-to-heart talk made Li An even more moved. It was a pity that the milk was already finished. Otherwise, she would have definitely toasted Qi Fu.

To have such a friend, what more could Li An ask for?

At this point, Qi Fu patted Li An’s head, suppressed her emotions, and said calmly, “Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore, in case Ji Yulin finds out.”

“You sleep well and eat well. I will definitely help you solve this matter.”

With that, Qi Fu turned and left, her back broad, her steps firm. She nimbly jumped down from the window and disappeared into the quiet night sky.

The little octopus stared at the window, the hot tears in her eyes taking a long time to be dried by the wind. Then, with a look of determination, she burped.

She had been sad just now and had drunk the milk too quickly.

And the person a wall away was silent. Ji Yulin pulled over the blanket and gently rolled over.

Perhaps because there was no octopus beside her, she couldn’t fall asleep.

A stuffy feeling accumulated, not decreasing at all, but getting heavier and heavier, especially when she sensed Qi Fu sneaking in. Ji Yulin had gotten up several times, trying to drive her away.

But she thought again. Li An’s mood was extremely bad today. Even the desserts she had brought back, she had only taken a few shallow bites. The milk was also left on the table, and she refused to drink it.

If she had a friend to accompany her and chat with, maybe Li An’s mood would be a little better?

Ji Yulin’s brows were tightly knitted, and her gloominess was superimposed, not getting any better.

When she turned again, the rustling of the fabric was heard.

Ji Yulin silently looked out the window. The night sky was clear and cloudless, with only a crescent moon hanging.

She watched quietly for a long time, sleepless all night.

And the little octopus on the other side had already washed herself and buried her head in the soft bed.

As if she were asleep, her tentacles were motionless, but the fabric under her was quietly soaked, stained with a dark mark.

And under the wall, Qi Fu, who had fallen with a grimace, was holding her waist with one hand. She had been busy showing off just now and had forgotten that it was the second floor.

She hissed in pain repeatedly, wanting to call for help but afraid of being heard by Li An, so she could only limp out.
