Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 27p2

Chapter 27 p2

Actually, the hat Ji Yulin had sewn for her was already pretty enough. If she just pulled out the colorful feather that was as long as the little octopus, it would be perfect.

But at the thought of the half-bite mark that couldn’t be covered, Li An silently hooked the new hat over. After two days, when the bite mark had faded, she would switch back to the original hat.

With that decided, the little octopus looked at the snacks further away.

It was said to be jerky made from the thigh meat of a tier-three mutated beast, sprinkled with a thick layer of sesame seeds. She could smell the fragrance even through the bag. This was the little octopus’s most satisfying purchase of the day.

At the thought of its taste, the little octopus’s tentacles twitched, and she wanted to open a bag.

But before her tentacle could touch the packaging, she was lifted up by one hand.

Her eight tentacles hung limply, swaying in the air like an octopus rag. Her gaze, which had been fixed on the jerky, only shifted after she saw Ji Yulin.

Human, you’re done with your shower?

Ji Yulin had come out in a hurry and hadn’t had time to dry her hair. Her long, wet hair hung on her shoulders and neck, leaving water marks on her pajamas. Her plain features had been steamed by the hot water, and her dark pupils were tinged with moisture. When she looked at the little octopus, she became extremely gentle.

“No more eating,” her helpless and indulgent tone held no trace of blame, just a gentle, “You’ve eaten too much today. You’ll fall into a deep sleep again.”

The little octopus struggled, her tentacles reaching for Ji Yulin’s fingertips. She wanted to refute, to say that she hadn’t felt full in a long time and that it was hard for her to fall into a deep sleep anymore.

But the words stopped at her lips. Li An thought of the five bags of jerky, two bags of milk-flavored buns, eight shrimp, a tier-two grilled fish, and a glass of mutated beast milk she had eaten today. The rebuttal was thus swallowed.

She wouldn’t be full, but it was indeed a bit too much. In this world, only Ji Yulin would spoil her so much.

Human, you’re so good.

The little octopus’s eyes suddenly welled up. She hugged Ji Yulin’s index finger and climbed up, landing in her palm. Her unconsciously entangled tentacles covered the red mole on her index finger.

Mama, Mama, I love you the most, Mama.

Mama, you’re the best person in the world.

Her cheerful voice was filled with affection, and the tentacles behind her unconsciously swayed rapidly.

Ji Yulin suddenly fell silent again. Her half-lowered eyelids hid her eyes, making her expression unreadable, but her complex emotions could still be felt. A breath was caught in her throat, unable to go up or down. Her silk pajama shirt rose and fell, and the tremor of her heart could even be faintly seen.

“An An,” she took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone steady, “Stop playing, wash your face.”

The words came out, and it became even more wrong.

But the little octopus opposite her had already gotten used to her new identity. Not only did she not resist at all, but she also obediently lay down.

Although she didn’t speak, Ji Yulin’s mind had already automatically conjured the little octopus’s docile voice, saying, Okay, Mama. Take baby octopus to wash her face, Mama.

Ji Yulin’s eyebrow twitched, and she turned and walked toward the bathroom.

The sound of water was heard. Ji Yulin didn’t do anything else. Just as she took out the small brush and shower gel she had bought for the little octopus today, the creature cooperatively lifted her tentacles one by one, and finally ran under the faucet to rinse herself clean, then waited for Ji Yulin to wrap her in a bath towel.

The night grew darker. The lights on the first floor of the villa had long been extinguished. Ling Yun and the others, who had been on the road, could finally sleep peacefully. The moment their heads hit the pillow, a long, even breath was heard.

The lights in the second-floor bathroom went off. There was a rustling sound as the covers were pulled back, and a person lay down, sinking into the soft mattress.

The little octopus agonized and agonized, but in the end, she abandoned her beautiful jar and chose to sleep next to Ji Yulin.

But she didn’t know what was wrong today. Perhaps the afternoon had been too happy. The little octopus tossed and turned on the pillow, unable to fall asleep. Finally, she rolled over and looked at Ji Yulin.

She felt a little happy in her heart.

Was this also a punishment for failing a mission?

How could a mission target be so rich and generous, so beautiful and gentle? She didn’t have to do anything, just be coaxed.

If it weren’t for the system’s voice still clearly etched in her mind, she would have thought she was on vacation.

This little octopus, it’s great!

The more the little octopus thought, the happier she became. She stared at Ji Yulin.

How could her Little Ji be so good?

A tentacle patted the pillow, as if waking someone up. The closed eyelids trembled, as if struggling to wake from a dream. A hand reached out and patted the little octopus.

The force wasn’t heavy, just a light, rhythmic pat, as if coaxing her to sleep.

The little octopus couldn’t help but shrink toward her, until she was pressing against a strand of long hair that had fallen on the pillow.

Ji Yulin’s scent was faint, just like her. Her features were all tinged with a gaunt, cold feeling. Even her scent was like a faint mist. Only by getting close could one smell a hint of it.

A tentacle hooked a strand of long hair. The creature, who usually slept so well, now couldn’t feel a trace of sleepiness under Ji Yulin’s coaxing.

Instead, the other person woke up. Her dark, moist eyes were tinged with a hazy mist, and her voice was lazy as she said in a low voice, “What’s wrong, can’t you sleep?”

The little octopus hadn’t wanted to wake her. She wanted to tell Ji Yulin to keep sleeping and not to mind her.

But the woman turned on her side and lowered her head, her forehead resting on the little octopus’s head. She said tiredly, “Does your wound hurt?”

It did hurt a little. Even though it was always wrapped in a pain-relieving gauze, there was still a faint, nagging pain, which was even worse at night.

Otherwise, when she was unconscious, the octopus wouldn’t have repeatedly emphasized it, constantly crying out in pain. But Li An was afraid of worrying Ji Yulin, so she had never mentioned it, just enduring it herself.

It was the same now. She deliberately pretended that nothing was wrong and comforted Ji Yulin in a low voice, It doesn’t hurt.

The night always had a special magic, pulling everything into silence. The faint details that were not noticed during the day were now infinitely magnified.

For example, Ji Yulin’s cool body temperature, her light breathing, and the scent that slowly enveloped her.

It was like a delicate vine, silently hooking the octopus’s tentacles, little by little, spreading upward, constantly pulling her down, down.

Human…

A strange call. Actually, she herself didn’t know what she wanted to say, just that she wanted to call out, and then it was called out without being processed by her brain.

Ji Yulin.

A tentacle wrapped around her knuckle, pulling it down, not allowing it to pat anymore, wanting to hold it down.

“Can’t you sleep? Baby,” the sleepy Ji Yulin spoke slowly, her thoughts also slow, asking the same question over and over again.

She was very suitable for reading bedtime stories.

The thought suddenly popped into the little octopus’s head, and she chuckled softly against Ji Yulin.

It was too much. Ji Yulin was so sleepy, yet she still wanted to bully her, forcing her to tell her a bedtime story. Although she knew Ji Yulin would definitely not refuse, she decided against it. The journey these past few days had been bumpy, and Ji Yulin hadn’t been able to sleep well.

The little octopus considerately patted Ji Yulin’s hand.

Sleep, human.

Captain Octopus says good night to you.

But the woman didn’t continue to sleep. She seemed to close her eyes for a moment, then asked, “Then shall I coax you?”

No need, little octopus will fall asleep in a little while.

But Ji Yulin seemed not to have heard. After a long moment, she opened her eyes again, the look in them gradually clearing. Then, she placed a light and gentle kiss on the little octopus’s forehead.

“I told you not to eat so much. Now you can’t sleep, can you?”

Her chiding tone held no trace of blame.

The little octopus hummed in protest and immediately retorted, That’s not it. I’m so hungry, I’ve been hungry all this time.

Ji Yulin just looked at her and smiled, a gentle warmth in her eyes, like a spring breeze blowing over a lake, green leaves falling into the ripples.

She said, “Silly.”

The little octopus was dazed, as if she didn’t know why she had suddenly been scolded. But because Ji Yulin’s tone wasn’t harsh, and was even a little doting, the little octopus couldn’t talk back. She could only rub against Ji Yulin.

Human, you’re annoying.

The woman just smiled and repeated, “Then shall I coax you?”

Before the little octopus could answer, her tone became even softer, “Mama will coax baby to sleep, okay?”

Huh?

The little octopus was stunned for a moment. This feeling was a little strange. Although she had already gotten used to her new identity and could keep calling Ji Yulin “Mama, Mama,” but to have Ji Yulin say it…

The little octopus silently curled up her tentacles, forming a ball.

Suddenly, the weather felt a little hot.

Seeing that Ji Yulin was about to get closer, a tentacle stretched out and pushed, pressing against Ji Yulin’s palm.

Human, don’t come any closer.

It’s hot.

The woman wasn’t angry. Her gentle gaze was always on the little octopus.

“Alright, baby. Mama will coax you to sleep.”

She repeated this over and over again. Refusing was useless. The sleepy Ji Yulin seemed not to understand octopus language and was fixated on this question.

The little octopus let out a heavy, troubled sigh.

Coax me, then. I’ll just close my eyes and pretend to be asleep in a little while.

But the expected patting did not come. Instead, Ji Yulin retracted her hand and placed it on the button of her pajamas.

The little octopus blinked. With her excellent night vision, she could see every one of Ji Yulin’s movements, for example, her fingertips on the button, easily unbuttoning it and then moving down.

One, two.

The unfastened fabric slid down, revealing her gracefully lined shoulder and neck, her straight collarbone, and…

The half-exposed roundness.

The little octopus was completely stunned, frozen in place, not understanding what Ji Yulin was doing, nor knowing how to react. She instantly became scorching hot.

But the woman was composed, as if she were just doing a very ordinary thing.

Until the last button was unbuttoned.

Only then did she lazily lift her eyes, looked at the little octopus, and coaxed, “Come here. Mama will feed you.”

What???

What did she say?!

Is Ji Yulin sleep-talking?

The little octopus, with a swoosh, turned bright red, once again becoming a takoyaki sizzling on a hot plate.

But Ji Yulin seemed not to see her shock. She reached out and pulled this creature toward her…
