Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 24p2

Chapter 24 p2:

At this moment, Ji Yulin’s face overlapped with the image of the Ji Yulin in the pool from the dream…

Li An was dazed for a moment, then quickly suppressed the strange feeling.

Now was not the time to think about this. Was Ji Yulin having a fever again?

It seemed reasonable. So much had happened that night, her emotions had been up and down, and before she could recover, she was thrown into a cold cave. It would be strange if Ji Yulin didn’t get sick.

The little octopus was instantly filled with guilt. She quickly extended her tentacles again, wanting to pull Ji Yulin out.

Who would soak in icy water with a fever? It would only make her sicker.

The little octopus thought simply, completely ignoring the fact that she had almost been cooked just now. She just thought that her tentacle had touched the cold water and was icy, and when it suddenly touched the hot skin, the temperature difference was too great, making it overly sensitive.

As a result, the moment the tip of her tentacle touched Ji Yulin’s arm, it shot back like lightning.

The little octopus frantically waved her short tentacles.

Hot, hot, hot.

Mama-chan, watashi is really going to be cooked, turned into a sizzling takoyaki!!!

Oh, it’s Mama-chan who’s hot, then it’s okay…

No, it’s really not okay!

The little octopus almost jumped up. She pressed her tentacles into the water, not caring if it was icy or not, and quickly pressed them back against Ji Yulin.

The tentacle, which had just been soaked in cold water, was instantly dried, and she once again felt the scorching heat of her skin.

At this point, even if the little octopus were any dumber, she should have realized that something was wrong and understood why Ji Yulin was soaking here. But she still didn’t know the reason, only that she was panicking.

If this continued, wouldn’t Ji Yulin be burned into a fool?!

She was both anxious and panicked. Her eyes swept over Ji Yulin. Now, it was no longer about how to pull Ji Yulin out, but how to pull her deeper into the water.

The little octopus made a decisive decision and, with a plop, jumped into the water. A tentacle hooked her ankle, but a feeling of powerlessness and weakness came over her.

It was like running a few thousand meters in a fit of anger, and the next day, not even being able to lift a hand, completely becoming a useless person.

The little octopus tried for a long time, but Ji Yulin still didn’t move.

Seven tentacles went limp, and she floated half-dead on the surface of the water.

Human, little octopus is a little uncomfortable now. I want to drink some goji berry water, angelica drink, and ten-tonic soup to replenish my energy. But you have to remember, it’s little octopus who drinks, not little octopus who cooks the ten-tonic soup.

The little octopus mumbled, feeling dejected for a few seconds, and finally obediently climbed back to the shore.

Like a dehydrated puppy, she shook her body, and after barely drying off, her eyes darted around, and she thought of another way.

A tentacle stepped on the accumulated water and ran to another pool. She easily hooked the clothes that had been soaking in the water, and with a great effort, she scrubbed them once, then held them up and ran back to Ji Yulin.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen the thick cloth that had been thrown beside Ji Yulin, but she was afraid that Ji Yulin would still want to wrap herself in it when she woke up, so she had no choice but to choose something else.

The clothes, soaked in icy water, were draped over Ji Yulin. The little octopus thought she heard a sizzling sound.

She couldn’t have any other thoughts. Even though the memories of last night were still surging, and Ji Yulin was lying here naked, her worry for Ji Yulin overshadowed everything else.

An extended tentacle pressed against the wet clothes. The little octopus estimated, then quickly went into the water, splashed some water, and made the clothes even colder and wetter.

After a few back-and-forths, the little octopus couldn’t even feel how cold the water was. Her head was covered in sweat. She very carelessly wiped her head with a tentacle, and when she looked up, she finally saw Ji Yulin’s slightly relaxed features.

It’s working!

Continue!

The little octopus clenched her fist and swung it. Just as before, after splashing some more water, she pattered up Ji Yulin’s waist and onto her body.

The first time is raw, the second time is familiar. The creature who had walked so slowly and was prone to falling before was now an expert. She even remembered every one of Ji Yulin’s ribs, which one was a little uncomfortable for her tentacles, and from which one she had to be more careful.

The smart little octopus remembered clearly!

Similarly, the moment she got close to the curves, the little octopus shrank all seven tentacles, completely flattening herself into an octopus pancake, and carefully squeezed in.

It wasn’t that she hadn’t seen it before, nor that she hadn’t touched it before, but the little octopus always insisted on some strange things.

For example, her long-gone honesty, propriety, and good behavior.

A cool tentacle pressed against Ji Yulin’s cheek. After three seconds, it was removed, poked into the wet cloth, and then pressed back.

She knew this was very troublesome and had thought of just putting the wet cloth on Ji Yulin’s face.

But the moment her tentacle grabbed the cloth, Li An suddenly thought of a very torturous method of covering the victim’s mouth and nose with several layers of wet paper, suffocating them to death. So, the tentacle holding the cloth was obediently put down, not daring to lift it again.

Being burned into a fool and suffocating to death, although the little octopus felt they were not much different, she still firmly chose the latter.

The tentacles went back and forth, and finally, the temperature of her cheeks dropped a little.

The very hardworking little octopus let out a long sigh of relief. Two tentacles wanted to put their hands on their hips but were lifted by the heat, sticking up straight like two sticks. Now she had really become a sizzling takoyaki.

Should I add salt and pepper or chili…

No onions and no cilantro. Houttuynia cordata would be nice.

The little octopus thought as she pulled the clothes, soaked them in the icy water again, and then draped them back over Ji Yulin. Then she pattered back, two tentacles on Ji Yulin’s collarbone. The two that had almost become cooked tentacles were also lifted and, with a thwack, were pressed against Ji Yulin’s cheeks, shaking left and right.

Ji Yulin, Ji Yulin, wake up.

You’re going to be cooked!!!

You’re going to become a sizzling human!

Ji Yulin!

Human! Octopus is going to be cooked by you!

A tentacle moved her head back and forth. When it got too hot, she would put it down and switch to another pair.

Human!

If you don’t wake up, you’re going to be burned into a fool!

After shaking for a long time and still not waking up, the little octopus’s heart grew more and more uncertain. She didn’t know why Ji Yulin had become like this, or how long it would last.

The worry in her heart grew heavier. On the island, she had only been afraid that her mission target would die, causing the mission to fail. But now, she was more concerned about Ji Yulin.

The more the little octopus thought, the more she panicked. She jumped off Ji Yulin, and after soaking five tentacles in water, she pattered back and stuffed them into Ji Yulin’s mouth.

Human, drink water.

Her chapped lips were forced open. At this moment, there was not a trace of desire, only the little octopus’s panicked eyes.

Human, don’t die.

Once wasn’t enough, so she jumped down again, back and forth many times.

In the end, Li An even felt that the pool of water had become warm. The tentacles that had been clamoring to get in were now tired and drooped, much redder than before, truly half-cooked.

The sound of dripping water was still there in the distance. The dark cave still made it impossible to tell day from night, or how much time had passed. The little octopus stopped moving, and the cave returned to silence, with no other sound.

Human…

A voice full of longing. A tentacle lifted and then fell, completely overwhelmed by powerlessness.

If she were still in her big octopus state, the situation would definitely be much better. But not only was she not, but her weak body was also extremely tired and could fall asleep at any moment.

Ji Yulin… don’t die…

Her eyelids drooped several times. A tentacle swayed, and she almost fell forward.

Li An tried to mumble to herself to stay awake, but her mind was filled with sizzling octopus, takoyaki, Wang Wang octopus popsicles, octopus sashimi, octopus ten-tonic soup, and…

Ji Yulin, don’t die.

You’re not allowed to die.

After an unknown amount of time, the clothes draped over her were once again heated, no longer dripping water. The tentacle in her lips was scorching hot. It unconsciously retracted but was bitten.

“An, An An,” a low, hoarse voice was squeezed from a dry throat.

The little octopus, with her head drooped, thought she was hearing things and didn’t react for a moment.

“Li An…”

The voice sounded again. The muddle-headed little octopus, with a swoosh, lifted her head. Her pair of round eyes widened, staring at Ji Yulin.

Human!

You’re finally awake!

I was so worried about you!

The tentacle between her collarbones quietly lifted a little. When the temperature had cooled slightly, it fell again and stood firm. And the little octopus’s eyes were still fixed on the other.

But the expected voice did not sound again. Instead, her lips moved, and the tentacle between them was pulled. The little octopus was actually dragged forward a few steps.

“Hot…” the person was still in a daze, murmuring unconsciously, and bit the octopus tentacle even tighter.

What is she doing?

The little octopus was dazed, her azure eyes filled with confusion. Before she could react, she was pulled deeper in, and finally, half her body was stuffed into her mouth.

The little octopus’s mind went blank. After a long moment, she reacted.

Hot, hot, hot!

Ji Yulin, let me out!!

Mama-chan, watashi is going to become a braised little octopus!!!!

Outside the cave.

The sky was bright. The overly clear sky showed no sign of the terrifying storm from a few days ago. Only a few floating clouds dotted the sky, looking exceptionally leisurely.

The previously turbulent seawater had also receded with the departure of the darkness, leaving only a scene of devastation and the wailing, grieving survivors.

People with the Thirteenth District insignia on their shoulders walked among them, carefully checking every corner to ensure that not a single sunflower root remained.

Two people were standing in a corner. A person in tattered clothes was reporting to a person from the Thirteenth District.

“…Yes, the sunflowers have been planted in our town for many years. Who brought them?”

“I don’t remember clearly. It seems like someone planted them a long time ago, and there was never any trouble, so we followed suit. It doesn’t take much effort, and it’s relaxing to look at, and you can eat the seeds. I never thought something like this would happen.”

“Yes, it suddenly erupted that night. Yes, we were all asleep that night, completely unaware.”

“Fog?”

“The fog appeared a month ago. We didn’t pay much attention to it. You know, since the mutation, this kind of bad weather has become too common.”

“Yes, the heavy rain covered up a lot. We couldn’t hear anything else.”

“Many people died in their sleep, with no time to wake up. Fortunately, Professor Ji’s guards were there…”

“That giant octopus monster led the darkness away. After they left, we stayed on the hill until you arrived and cleaned up the mutated sunflowers.”

“Is it really all cleaned up now? My wife and kids are so scared they still don’t dare to come down from the mountain.”

“Please, please, you must clean it up thoroughly. What? We can’t plant anything on this land anymore!”

“Sigh, if we can’t plant, we can’t plant. It’s better than having something harmful pop up.”

The recorder nodded as he wrote. With a turn of his pen, he marked the sunflower crisis as an A-class crisis, then added to the octopus and darkness section, situation uncertain, possibly a tier-six mutated beast, suspected S-class crisis.

And on the cliff further away, Ling Yun, who hadn’t rested for days, looked grave and apprehensive.

She had been searching since that night, without a single clue. Her teammates had already given up hope, thinking that Ji Yulin was most likely dead.

Ling Yun also felt the same way in her heart but still refused to give up, stubbornly requesting support from the Thirteenth District and conducting a grid search of this area over and over again.

“Professor…”

The scene from that day flashed in her mind again. The octopus that had abducted the professor had clearly jumped down from here, but how could they not find her?!

Could it be that she had really jumped into the sea?

Ling Yun’s face grew even paler. Just as she was despairing, she heard a voice.

“Ling Yun.”
