Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 47

Chapter 47:

When she woke up again, the blue sky and white clouds were gone, leaving only the intricately decorated ceiling. Li An blinked, her slow mind still a blank.

It took her a long time to remember the face of Qi Fu she had seen before she had fainted again.

So, was she brought back by Qi Fu?

Li An turned her heavy head and looked to the side.

A familiar white porcelain plate was placed on ice. Inside were peeled shrimp, their exteriors white and translucent, the meat firm, as if they had just been peeled.

But the half-melted ice silently refuted this, proving that someone had been constantly changing it to ensure that Li An could eat her favorite fresh shrimp the moment she woke up.

And beside it, as usual, was a glass of fruit juice. From the looks of it, it should be watermelon juice?

Li An was dazed for a moment. The memories of being in the sea were suppressed. She thought it was just another ordinary afternoon. She had been playing until she was tired and had taken a nap somewhere in the room. When she woke up, she had already been found by Ji Yulin and placed among the soft pillows, with her favorite food beside her.

Ji Yulin…

When this name appeared in her mind, Li An first stiffened, and then she remembered throwing the other into Qi Fu’s arms, and she let out a sigh of relief.

In the next second, her tentacles all lifted. Li An carefully examined them one by one and finally concluded that they were all intact.

She was a little confused. She vaguely remembered being injured but couldn’t find the wound.

The rest of her memories also became blurry.

[So useless…]

The voice suddenly echoed in her mind. Before she could think about it, it fell on the crackling electronic sound?

The little octopus’s eyes suddenly widened.

Are you saying that escaping from the sea and eliminating the darkness is only the first phase of the mission?!

She still has to find a way to destroy the Research Institute and save the world?!

Are you saying that my tentacles were broken three or four times, and I worked so hard to finish the job, but the reward failed to send, and there’s not even a follow-up plot, so I can only guess and work diligently for free?!

Zhou Bapi!

The little octopus silently roared at the sky.

She finally knew why her previous missions had always failed. How could they not fail?

Which workhorse has no reward and no salary, and has to half-guess and half-bluff their way through their work tasks?

Others at least get a big promise. But in her case, it’s like a water buffalo pulling a plow and turning in the field, digging wherever it sees, all by itself. What’s the difference?

The little octopus was so angry that she hugged her tentacles and rolled back and forth on the pillow.

Stupid system! Stupid company!

All of you, get sliced up and fed to the darkness!

The pillow, which had been carefully smoothed before, was now wrinkled, with an octopus-shaped hollow in the middle. After the little octopus had rolled around a few times, she fell into the hollow and then did a sudden sit-up.

Since it has come to this, I might as well eat.

A tentacle pulled, and she pattered into the ice basin.

Her gaze swept over, and she realized that Ji Yulin had forgotten to prepare a triangular bandana for her today. But it didn’t matter. There were a few blueberries beside the shrimp.

The little octopus grabbed the knife and fork and began to stuff herself, with the air of turning her anger into appetite. One big shrimp after another. Before she had completely chewed it, she immediately stuffed another one in. In between, she didn’t forget to take a few sips of fruit juice. She was very busy.

Ji Yulin came back at this moment. She did not step in but leaned silently against the doorframe. Her delicate features were cold, and her slightly tired expression accentuated her aloofness. Her deep eyes were hidden behind the lenses, and her emotions were difficult to discern.

The little octopus was eating happily. After clearing the plate of food, she finally noticed Ji Yulin.

The little octopus’s eyes lit up, and she looked at her with eager eyes.

Human, you’re back.

Octopus missed you so much.

She even took the initiative to lift the two tentacles by her side, wanting a hug.

Perhaps because of all that had happened, even though they had only been separated for a short period of time, she missed her especially.

Ji Yulin looked away and walked toward her unhurriedly.

She raised her hand and avoided the raised tentacles, and took out a bib to wipe her.

So her leaving just now was to get a new bib for the little octopus.

Li An didn’t think much of it and obediently let her wipe her clean, then raised her tentacles again.

Human, hug.

But Ji Yulin pretended not to see and asked in a flat tone, “Are you not feeling well anywhere?”

The little octopus carefully felt herself and shook her head.

I’m not uncomfortable anywhere.

Ji Yulin’s gaze fell, her eyelids hiding her emotions, her thick lashes casting a faint gray shadow on her eyelids. Her tone was steady and without fluctuation, “Okay, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, remember to tell me.”

The little octopus blinked, vaguely sensing that something was wrong, but she didn’t know what it was and could only nod woodenly.

“Are you full? If not, I’ll go get more.”

The little octopus knitted her brows and extended a tentacle to hold the other’s hand, but Ji Yulin dodged.

The little octopus’s eyes widened. If it were anyone else, it would be a small matter. But how had Ji Yulin spoiled Li An? After being on land for so long, the little octopus had not walked more than a few steps. Her tentacles were still soft, let alone refusing Li An.

A tentacle directly hooked Ji Yulin’s wrist. Before the other could speak, the remaining seven tentacles, with a thwack, knelt down, the tips of their tentacles submerged in the water. She didn’t move an inch and immediately called out, Human, I was wrong.

Fearing that it wasn’t enough, she added, Mama, Ji An An knows she was wrong.

Actually, she hadn’t thought of what she had done wrong, but she felt that Ji Yulin was not an angry person. If she was angry, it must be because she had done something wrong. How could Ji Yulin be wrong?

Seeing that Ji Yulin was still not speaking, she took the initiative to extend her tentacles, the sucker side facing up, and held them up to Ji Yulin.

A timid voice stuttered, Hit, hit me, punish me.

But this action did not make Ji Yulin feel any better. Instead, she became more and more annoyed.

It was like a bottle that was about to explode but was forcibly blocked. Many words wanted to be said but could not be expressed.

She had clearly told Li An not to leave her, but Li An had deceived her with a lie.

She could understand Li An’s actions but could not accept them.

These past few days, whenever she closed her eyes, the image of the octopus being caught by the darkness and swallowed whole would flash in her mind over and over again.

A feeling of helplessness spread, and along with the guilt of her previous life, it became a sharp thorn in Ji Yulin’s heart.

Li An…

She tried to break free, but the tentacle wrapped around her wrist kept tightening.

She glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the palm-sized little octopus still looking up, her eager eyes on her, her raised tentacles trembling slightly from being held up for a long time.

Ji Yulin didn’t know what to say even more. She took a deep breath, trying to suppress her frustration, but it only brought a more stuffy feeling.

Forget it.

The two words suddenly popped into her head. It wasn’t Li An’s fault. She had just made the most correct choice in that situation. Even if it were Ji Yulin herself, she would have made the same choice.

Ji Yulin’s hands and feet were cold, and even her pulse had become weak. It took her a long time to feel a beat.

It’s okay.

It’s really okay. Li An has come back unscathed, standing right in front of her.

Her eyelids closed and then opened. Ji Yulin forced herself to maintain a steady tone and said, “Why would I punish you for no reason?”

She even comforted, “It’s okay. I’m just a little emotionally unstable.”

The tentacle wrapped around her wrist grew tighter and tighter but was easily pushed away by Ji Yulin and fell limply.

Now it was a bright afternoon. The sunlight was divided into four square blocks by the window frame, and an extended branch poked out, casting a clear shadow on the ground.

The ice in the water basin had melted a lot, so that the plate was half-floating in the water. The icy-cold water was submerging the tentacles. As soon as the last of the ice at the bottom had melted, it would be completely submerged.

It was teetering, just like the situation the little octopus was feeling now.

Human, don’t be angry…

Before she could finish, she was interrupted.

Ji Yulin’s voice was even calmer, and she said everything she had been thinking in one go, “I’m not angry. There’s nothing to be angry about.”

“I’m just a little emotionally unstable. I’m sorry.”

“I’ll have Qi Fu come and take care of you these past few days. You can tell her whatever you want to eat or do. She’ll accompany you.”

“After I’ve rested for a few days and sorted out my feelings, I’ll come and find you.”

The moment she finished speaking, she quickly turned around, and the wind from her rapid movement blew up the corner of her clothes. Before it could fall, she was about to leave.

—Bang!

Only the sound of something falling was heard. The basin filled with ice, the porcelain plate, and the glass cup were directly pulled to the ground.

In an instant, the basin was on the floor, the porcelain plate was shattered, and the glass bottle also exploded. Half a glass of watermelon juice and ice water were mixed together, dripping from the table, splashing into the glass shards, and finally landing on her fair feet.

Someone frantically stepped over the mess and hugged Ji Yulin tightly from behind.

“Don’t, don’t go…”

“Don’t… don’t, don’t…”

The inexperienced girl’s voice was stumbling. It was clear that she was inexperienced. She had to struggle to say the simple words, and even then, her tone was a little off. She had to say it several times before she could find the right pitch.

“Don’t, don’t go.”

The words, which were already hard to recognize, were now tinged with a sob, making them even more incomprehensible.

And the one who was not at all self-aware was crying without any method, completely without the awareness of being a pitiful, teary-eyed beauty. At first, it was a low sob, but then, after realizing she was crying, she let out a “wah” and wailed, and the tears quickly soaked her thin shirt, creating a pool of salty water.

“Ma, Mama, wah!” Li An cried more and more sadly, her wails growing louder. Her mind was a blank, with no reaction to the current situation, only the panic of being abandoned.

“Mama, I was wrong… wrong…”

The arms around her waist grew tighter, and her hands gripped her shirt, wrinkling the fabric into a ball.

“Wah wah wah!” Li An was still wailing, like a child who was about to be abandoned, crying her heart out.

“Ma, wrong, wrong…”

Now it was even worse. The words, which had been hard to recognize before, were now so choked with sobs that she couldn’t even say a complete sentence, let alone be understood.

“Don’t go, don’t go.”

Her whole face was buried in her slender back. She even thought Ji Yulin was not tall enough and pulled her up, while she herself bent her back and squeezed into the wet shirt, her face completely hidden, only her red ears and messy pink hair could be seen.

“Don’t go, don’t go, Mama…”

“Don’t, don’t leave me!”

The icy water flowed along the floor, submerging Ji Yulin.

The stiff person finally woke up with a start. She immediately patted the other’s back and said quickly, “Let go of me.”

Her worry for Li An overshadowed her anger.

But the other misunderstood, thinking that Ji Yulin would not forgive her. She wailed even louder, her tears like a spring, gushing out in strings. Half of them slid down her cheeks, and the other half fell into her mouth, both salty and bitter, which made Li An even more wronged. She cried until her body trembled, and her clenched arms almost suffocated Ji Yulin.

“Let, let go…”

She couldn’t even say the reason, and it was drowned out by the wails.

Li An was almost out of breath from crying. Her voice was choked with sobs, and her exposed skin was flushed red, her pink hair a mess.

“Ma, Mama, don’t go!”

She was wailing so sincerely that Ji Yulin even began to wonder if she had a long-lost biological daughter.

There was no other way. Ji Yulin could only promise, “No, I won’t go. You let go of me first.”

The moment the first word was out, the hand around her waist tightened again, almost blocking her words. Fortunately, Ji Yulin managed to finish her sentence.

But Li An didn’t hear clearly. She was crying until her ears were ringing. She could only hear herself wailing. All other sounds were as if they were through a layer of fog, blurry and incomplete. Every word Ji Yulin said, she would raise her voice to cover it, both shameless and pitiful.

Ji Yulin could only say in a cold voice, “Li An, let go of me.”

The person was so scared that she finally hesitated and let go, still sobbing and calling out, “Don’t, don’t go.”

Ji Yulin quickly turned around. The face she had seen in the prison now appeared before her eyes once again.

“Li, Li An,” Ji Yulin’s voice trembled.

Compared to the blurriness in the dark space, she could now see clearly.

Her pair of azure eyes were already swollen from crying, and the area around her eyes was red, and tears were still flowing. Li An tried to wipe them away, but the more she wiped, the more they flowed.

Not to mention her face, which was red from being pressed or covered. Her already youthful features, a moist and bewitching beauty between a clear and bright girl and a charming woman, were now soaked in tears, like a peach blossom on a branch drenched in rain, pitifully bending the branch.

But that was not the point. The point was that the girl was completely naked, standing in front of Ji Yulin.

Ji Yulin’s gaze swept over her quickly and landed on her bare feet, which were stepping in the glass shards.

She didn’t see any wounds, but it still made Ji Yulin anxious. With no time for anything else, she directly bent down and scooped the other up in her arms.

The other creature was still crying, immersed in the sadness of being abandoned by Ji Yulin. She couldn’t stop crying, her mind in a daze, repeating those words over and over again.

The broken glass was kicked away, and the splashing water wet the hem of her suit pants. The neat freak couldn’t be bothered with that anymore.

She quickly walked to the bed, placed Li An on the side, and quickly knelt down on one knee, holding her slender ankle and placing it on her own leg.

She casually pulled over a thin blanket. Ji Yulin’s gaze fell, and with the serious attitude of her usual experiments, her movements instantly became light and gentle, carefully wiping away the mud.

Although the person was crying hard, she was not without feeling. And the sensitivity of her tentacles seemed to have also affected the soles of her feet. A light touch was enough to make her tickle. Now she was constantly retracting them, and while crying, she shouted, “Don’t, don’t,”

“Mama, don’t…”

She hadn’t learned to say any other words, but these four words she could say fluently.

Ji Yulin could only hold on tight and say with a heavier voice, “Don’t move.”

This conversation was inevitably misunderstood, for example, by Qi Fu, who was a door away.

Since she had brought the little octopus back, she would come and visit every day to see if Li An had woken up. It was the same today.

As a result, the moment she was outside the door, she heard the commotion inside.

She naturally thought that the little octopus had woken up and was about to knock on the door, but in the next second, a tearful “don’t” came out.

The hand that was about to knock froze on the door, unable to move down at all.

Qi Fu’s expression changed, and in the end, it was completely distorted.

Professor Ji, you’re actually this kind of person!

Isn’t Ji An An still unconscious beside her?!

If you’re going to do it, do it somewhere else! How can you do it in front of a child?
