Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 28p1

Chapter 28 p1:

Li An didn’t sleep well last night.

Her peach-pink skin was already prone to showing color, let alone two round, dark circles under her eyes.

But the little octopus, who usually cared a lot about her appearance, didn’t try to hide them. She lay listlessly on the plate, all seven legs stretched out straight, her crooked top hat just happening to cover the bite mark.

An unsuspecting person might have thought this was a new dish just developed by the chef, and with a click of their tongue, they would have reached for the little octopus with a knife and fork.

Before they could get close, they saw the main course lift its head and roll its eyes at them, startling the guest into taking three steps back and letting out a “Good heavens!”

“Whose pet is this!” she said, patting her chest with lingering fear. “It’s an octopus!”

Li An couldn’t be bothered with her and flopped back down listlessly.

Her gaze then fell to the front. The crowd was bustling, glasses clinking. It was the banquet the Thirteenth District had prepared for Ji Yulin.

Unlike other places, which were decorated with extravagant luxury, the Thirteenth District had specially chosen a park in the center of the city. A few hundred-year-old trees stood on the green lawn. Compared to the desolation on the outskirts of the city, this place was like a different world.

After simple decorations, the long table was filled with food and a champagne tower. People, dressed in seemingly casual but actually well-chosen clothes, stood in groups. As they talked and laughed, the amber liquid in their tall glasses swayed, dripping onto their fingertips.

The little octopus lowered her head, feeling a little bored. She couldn’t be bothered with these things. She felt that the business they were talking about was not as delicious as the little cake beside her.

But her gaze shifted, and she saw the cake, piled high into a peak with a single small cherry on top. The little octopus didn’t know what she was reminded of, but she stiffly turned her head and looked to the other side.

She didn’t dare to eat it. She had eaten enough last night.

A tentacle silently retracted. Although no one was looking at her, Li An herself felt guilty.

Memories couldn’t help but surface, returning to last night.

The dazed octopus was thus pulled over and pressed against the overly soft place.

She subconsciously resisted, extending a tentacle to press against the delicate skin. Before she could even exert any force, she realized something was wrong. This action not only didn’t help, but it was as if she had actively latched on.

A tentacle silently straightened and lifted, trying to retract, but Ji Yulin misunderstood. The hand on her head pressed down even harder. The little distance she had just struggled to create was now gone, and she was pressed back even tighter than before, creating an octopus-shaped hollow in the delicate skin.

The sucker was stuck in a place it shouldn’t be, as out of place as the cherry on a cupcake.

The little octopus was completely stunned. Her mind was a blank. Unconscious, jumbled, and fragmented words popped into her head.

So soft, white…ptui ptui ptui, can’t think like that, wait, this shape is really… stop, stop, be proper! You’re a proper octopus!

Ji Yulin is Mama! Is master… is she master… but master doesn’t seem very proper either, but now Mama also seems…

ptui ptui ptui, how could Ji Yulin not be proper? She doesn’t know anything. She just wants to coax her baby. What’s wrong with that? She’s just a little too innocent.

Right! Ji Yulin is too innocent. It’s all the Research Institute’s fault. They force her to do experiments all day, so Ji Yulin doesn’t even understand the most basic common sense. Fortunately, it’s her. Fortunately, she’s an octopus who can’t do anything.

At this thought, a hint of regret actually appeared, but she quickly remembered the dream…

It seemed, she wasn’t completely helpless.

The already scorching octopus turned even redder, almost glowing in the dark.

And Ji Yulin still wouldn’t let her go. Her voice was concerned, “Why are you so hot?”

“Do you have a fever?”

She did have a fever, but not that kind of fever.

The thought suddenly popped into the little octopus’s head. She frantically shook her head, trying to get rid of these wild thoughts.

The woman was still puzzled. Her cool fingertips touched her head. The faint coolness did not soothe the heat. Instead, because of the brief comfort, it became even more unbearable.

A tentacle unconsciously ground against her, and the suckers also contracted, leaving behind a glistening mucus.

The woman let out a low hum, her breath a little ragged, but she still reached out and patted her, coaxing her like a child, “Go to sleep, baby.”

Li An didn’t know how to react.

Even in this situation, this person was still using such a gentle voice to tell her to go to sleep. Li An couldn’t even tell if Ji Yulin was deliberately teasing her or was really so composed.

She tried her best to control her suckers but still couldn’t suppress the sensation from her tentacles. It was clearer than the previous times. Her sensitive nerves carefully fed back every detail.

“So hot,” the woman let out a muffled groan, complaining tiredly. Her voice also became low and hoarse, the drawn-out tone like a coquettish plea.

The little octopus couldn’t help but freeze. A sucker unconsciously sucked harder.

“Gently,” Ji Yulin said again. The fingertip on the octopus’s head paused. It was clearly a gesture of stopping her, but it pressed the little octopus in deeper. She chided, “It hurts a little. Don’t suck so hard.”

Just like her fingertips, even her words of protest were like a lure.

Not to mention, the woman spoke again, chiding, “You bad thing, why are you sucking so hard? Just because I said I’d feed you doesn’t mean I actually have milk.”

The hand on her head patted her twice, urging, “Go to sleep, baby.”

How could she sleep?

The little octopus, who had been wide awake, was now even more so. The sound of waves seemed to be in her ears again, crashing incessantly. Even the air was filled with the salty smell of the sea.

Where was she now…

On the island?

The town?

No, she was in Ji Yulin’s bed, pressed against the open part of Ji Yulin’s shirt, like a nursing infant, being coaxed to sleep by Ji Yulin.

So, so soft…

“Ji An An!”

A sudden voice startled the little octopus, almost making her jump out of the plate. She was scared out of her wits and had to look over, trembling.

The person who had spoken was indeed that noisy frog-peacock.

Qi Fu had changed into a big red floral shirt. Her blond hair was tied up high, and her black and gold heterochromatic eyes gave the already playful person a hint of evil. But she spoke nonchalantly, “What’s wrong with you? Why do you have two dark circles under your eyes after just one day? Where’s your mom?”

A series of questions fell, but Li An only heard the word “mom.” The word she couldn’t stand to hear the most right now was “mom”!

A tentacle shrank, and she immediately wanted to hide.

But Qi Fu was one step ahead. She placed a piece of cake on her escape route and said with a smile, “Come and try this. This is delicious.”

The blocked little octopus: …

She silently looked at the cherry on top of the cream, then silently looked up, staring at Qi Fu.

The woman still hadn’t realized that something was wrong and said cheerfully, “What’s wrong, what’s wrong? Didn’t you like sweets yesterday? You pestered Professor Ji to buy you a bunch of sweets. Let me tell you, this cake is delicious. If it weren’t for Professor Ji, we wouldn’t be able to eat this.”

Seeing the little octopus’s expression getting worse, she couldn’t help but say, “Yo, did you go out and do something bad behind Professor Ji’s back last night? Why are you so listless?”

It would have been better if Qi Fu hadn’t mentioned last night. The moment she did, the little octopus was like a cat whose fur had been ruffled. Her round eyes glared at Qi Fu.

If she could still turn into a big octopus, she would immediately give Qi Fu a tentacle, slapping her until she was black and blue, just like Ling Yun before!

But Qi Fu was not threatened and smiled again, “What’s wrong with this? So fierce.”

Fierce was fierce, but there was not a trace of threat. The little octopus was almost angered to death by her.

Fortunately, Ji Yulin walked back at this moment. Although she didn’t know what Qi Fu had said, it didn’t affect her protectiveness. She immediately shooed her away, “What are you doing here?”

“Eating cake!” Qi Fu was righteous. To prove herself, she lowered her head and took a bite of the cake. Her mouth was smeared with white cream, and the decorative cherry disappeared.

The little octopus stared at her. She didn’t want to eat it, but she couldn’t stand to see others eat it.

Unfortunately, Qi Fu was a block of wood and didn’t understand what the little octopus was thinking. She even urged, “You eat too. What are you looking at me for?”

So annoying. I really want to turn into a big octopus and beat someone up.

The little octopus silently turned around, choosing to face away from Qi Fu. Unfortunately, she couldn’t beat her up, so she could only choose not to look.

And Ji Yulin also lowered her head at this moment and said warmly, “Are you bored? Do you want to go back?”

Before, the little octopus had been on Ji Yulin’s shoulder. The moment those people saw her, they began to praise her, using it as a way to get closer to Ji Yulin.

And the little octopus, on one hand, was lost in her memories, and on the other, was thinking. She just felt that these people were so noisy and had unconsciously patted Ji Yulin’s shoulder several times.

Ji Yulin thought she was bored and had put her here.

And Li An didn’t want to be an excuse for those people to talk to Ji Yulin, so she hadn’t refused and had just sullenly lay on the plate.

As a result, the scene that Qi Fu saw appeared.

The little octopus found Qi Fu annoying and extended a tentacle to Ji Yulin, wanting a hug. Rather than facing the chattering Qi Fu, she would rather stick to Ji Yulin.

But Ji Yulin, who usually understood the little octopus the best, misunderstood. Not only did she not hug her back, but she also pushed the cake that had been moved a little further away back in front of her.

She said considerately, “This cake is really good. An An, have some?”

The little octopus blinked a few times, staring blankly at the cake she couldn’t escape.

“It’s very sweet,” Ji Yulin even considerately picked off the cherry and handed it to the little octopus.

The little octopus instinctively raised a tentacle to take it, and then heard Ji Yulin say, “What else do you want to eat? Mama will go get it for you?”

Why is it “Mama” again!

She didn’t know if it was Li An’s illusion, but since last night, Ji Yulin had been calling herself “Mama,” constantly saying it, and her frequency of speaking was much higher than before.

Seeing the little octopus freeze, the woman actually repeated, “What does baby want to eat? Mama will go get it for you?”

Why is it “baby” now!

Li An now really felt like she had three brains. Her left brain was full of “Mama, Mama,” her right brain was full of “baby, baby,” and in the middle was the red cherry in front of her.

It was really going to be the death of this octopus.

If she were really a mentally challenged little octopus, it would be fine. But she was a creature who understood everything, and in her muddle-headedness, unable to distinguish between dreams and her previous life, she had even seen the octopus and Ji Yulin in the pool…

The tentacle holding the cherry tightened and tightened.

Li An lifted her eyes and saw Ji Yulin’s concerned face, and a strong sense of guilt for bullying an honest child arose.

Ji Yulin doesn’t know anything, but she does!

She, she, she, she knows everything!

The cherry between her tentacles was crushed, and a sweet juice oozed out, sticking to her contracting suckers.

Qi Fu, beside her, not wanting to be left out, leaned her head over and said, “Is it that your Ji An An doesn’t know how to eat a cherry? No wonder she’s been looking at the cake so sullenly.”

At these words, Li An immediately rolled her eyes. Who doesn’t know how to eat a cherry?

But Ji Yulin seemed to believe her, a hint of hesitation and thought flashing in her eyes.
