Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 59

Chapter 59:

Half a plate of salad was left on the dining table. Li An’s mind was filled with the words Ji Yulin had said before she left. She barely filled her stomach and then went out.

The misty weather had not changed, and it was heavy everywhere, like some kind of omen.

Li An seemed to sense something and looked up at the lush camphor tree in the courtyard.

It was about ten meters tall. For its species, it was even considered a relatively young camphor tree. She raised her hand and stroked the rough bark, and she seemed to be able to feel its strong heartbeat.

Li An stared silently.

Since she had woken up from her coma, she had sensed that she seemed to have a new ability. It was just that she had been affected by other things these past few days, so she had ignored it.

It was only now that she began to think about it.

She seemed to be able to see special fluctuations. For example, this mist was not ordinary. All the plants and animals in the Thirteenth District were agitated because of it, but the changes were too small to attract everyone’s attention.

She couldn’t help but think of what Ji Yulin had mentioned before. In the early stages of the apocalypse, the bad weather was continuous, and the researchers regarded it as a warning from the world.

But what if these mutations were caused by the bad weather?

Just like this mist, it just didn’t have as much energy as it did then. It was weaker and thinner. But if it appeared for a long time, the plants and animals in the Thirteenth District would still mutate. It was just a matter of sooner or later.

A strange image flashed in her mind. By the time Li An wanted to catch it and think about it, it had already been extinguished and turned into a blank.

It was like those entangled dreams, chaotic and completely out of her control, fragmented. She would often wake up in a daze and fall into a confusion. It was only now, with the accumulation of dreams, that she had managed to piece together a little bit.

Li An sighed softly.

If she had known, she wouldn’t have complained about the system before. She had been thinking about how others had transmigrated as domineering presidents, while she was just a weak and incompetent octopus.

Now, the mysteries surrounding her were increasing, but she didn’t even have the key to unlock them and could only be forced to accept it.

Her fingertips brushed past the bark, and she felt a slight stinging pain. She forced down the frustration in her heart and returned to the previous question.

Not only the surrounding plants and animals, the mist, and even humans. Even humans who had not awakened, she could feel that they were different.

Different…

“Ji Yulin,” Li An suddenly murmured in a low voice.

She had already forgotten when she had noticed the change in Ji Yulin, but because they had not communicated, it was just a vague guess. But after waking up, she could clearly feel the fluctuations in Ji Yulin’s body, and it was even different from Qi Fu and the others.

Stronger and more complex.

What ability did she have?

She stood there in a daze.

On the other side of the courtyard, there was also someone who had gone and returned.

Qi Fu hesitated and hesitated, her handsome face was almost twisted into a ball.

Her left brain was thinking of the pitiful Ji An An, and her right brain was thinking of what she had accidentally bumped into this morning.

She took a deep breath and felt that she still couldn’t give up easily.

To put it bluntly, Ji Yulin and Ji An had done it. She just wanted to break them up, not join them. She didn’t care if they had done it or not. She just had to destroy their relationship.

Right, just like that.

Qi Fu gritted her teeth and stomped her foot. She was doing this for Ji An An’s future.

If there’s a stepmother, there’s a stepmother.

Qi Fu, how can you bear to see your friend suffer so much?

A true friend would do anything for a friend, and do their best.

What’s one time?

With your looks, family background, and ability, it would be a piece of cake to steal Ji Yulin’s corner and seduce Ji An. It would be as easy as pie, a piece of cake.

After thinking about it for an hour, Qi Fu finally managed to brainwash herself. She took a deep breath, stomped her foot again, and a crack appeared in the brick under her foot, with a faint sign of loosening.

Another stomp, and small stones flew everywhere. Qi Fu rushed in with a huff and shouted, “Ji An!”

“Ji An, are you home?!”

Li An’s thoughts were interrupted. Hearing that it was Qi Fu’s voice, she thought that Ji Yulin was afraid she was bored and had specially sent Qi Fu over to accompany her, so she didn’t think much of it and immediately turned to go out.

The door was opened.

Before Li An could see, she smelled a floral fragrance.

That’s right, a floral fragrance.

Li An was stunned for a moment, and looked at the roses behind Qi Fu in a daze and shock. It couldn’t even be called a bouquet. It was simply a red wall.

A pile of roses were stacked on top of each other, so dense that there was not a single gap, as if she were afraid that others would not know that there were nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses here. In the current world of mutated species, she didn’t know where Qi Fu had found so many normal roses.

But this was not the most shocking thing.

The biggest shock was standing in front of Li An. Qi Fu was already thin, and now, wrapped in a gorgeous and complicated dress, she was like a thin pole, coupled with the gorgeous accessories all over her body, and the gift box in her hand.

Li An rubbed her eyes. The pile of gems was a little dazzling.

In a daze, she thought it was Christmas, and the safe zone had sent someone dressed as a Christmas tree to give out gifts everywhere.

“Miss Ji An,” Qi Fu pulled out a smile and called out gently, thinking she was very gentlemanly.

A chill ran down Li An’s spine, and her whole body was covered in goosebumps.

Does awakening a special ability also affect the brain?

Li An was terrified, Li An was afraid. Ji Yulin must not, must not, must not become like this. How scary.

The cool and elegant Professor Ji, turned into a flashy Christmas tree?

Where is the medicine to remove the special ability? She would spray Ji Yulin with it eight hundred times a day.

Pray for exorcism, pray for cinnabar, peach wood, dog teeth, garlic, and a hundred-year-old Taoist priest.

Li An felt that she could go and believe in a religion now and become the most devout person in a Taoist temple.

As for Qi Fu…

Perhaps even a hundred-year-old master could not drive it away. The poison was too deep, and she was beyond saving.

My condolences, District Chief Qi.

Of course, as Qi Fu’s best friend, she would definitely take good care of Qi Fu’s inheritance. Yes, godmother, you can also write my name on your insurance.

In just a short moment, a hundred thoughts popped into Li An’s head.

And the person opposite her still didn’t know. She thought she was performing well and extended her hand, and the gift box was handed over. She said nonchalantly, “I just passed by a jewelry store and thought this five-carat diamond necklace would suit you very well.”

The sentence in the middle was emphasized.

Li An’s gaze fell, and she looked at the gift box, at a loss for words.

This was the first time she had ever been so disdainful of a diamond.

Forget it.

Li An gritted her teeth and reached out to take it.

Qi Fu is a friend, a friend’s gift.

Li An received it, and Qi Fu also smiled hypocritically, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

She had said it. Who would fall in love with Ji Yulin’s cold, icy face? This person was obviously after Ji Yulin’s money.

But her expression did not show it, and she said lively, “It’s a little hot this afternoon. Can I come in for a glass of ice water?”

She looked at Li An and promised, “I’ll just rest for a while and leave. I promise to leave before Professor Ji comes back.”

Although she didn’t know why Qi Fu had to emphasize this, Li An took a deep breath and told herself over and over again that they were friends, friends, and that she would leave soon. It was okay to come in for a little while.

Li An held the gift and stepped back.

Qi Fu strode in.

The sound of chaotic footsteps went in. Qi Fu sat down on the sofa and said “casually,” “There are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses outside. It’s one of my gifts to you.”

Li An sat opposite her, too embarrassed to say that Qi Fu’s outfit was too flashy. She just silently lowered her head and quietly said “hmm.”

Qi Fu, who had not achieved the desired effect, couldn’t help but frown and emphasized, “It’s nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses. I’ve emptied all the roses in the Thirteenth District as a testament to our feelings.”

She’s so obvious. Ji An should understand, right? Should she show a moved expression now and be ecstatic about her?

Qi Fu coughed twice, and while leaning back slightly, her arms naturally spread out and rested on the back of the sofa, and her crossed legs were also put down.

Considerate, Qi Fu, you’re so considerate.

Qi Fu shook her head and sighed. When Ji An was so moved that she was crying, she could fall into your arms in the most natural way.

On the other side, Li An was stunned for a moment. She first said “oh” in response, and then looked at Qi Fu with a complicated expression.

Roses seem to represent love, right?

This silly child, wearing such clothes to buy flowers, no wonder she was deceived.

And nine thousand…

A rose bath with Ji Yulin at night?

Li An’s eyes lit up, and her gaze on Qi Fu instantly softened.

You should have said so earlier. With this kind of thing, she almost didn’t react.

Seeing her expression, Qi Fu was on the verge of slapping her thigh and saying that it was a sure thing. Her eyes were filled with joy. She looked around, picked up the water pitcher herself, and after pouring some water, she took a sip.

Her eyes secretly glanced at Li An.

Is she going to pounce or not? Is her hint not obvious enough?

Qi Fu put down the water glass, leaned back again, her arms wide open, resting on the back of the sofa. She smiled at Li An and repeated, “Five carats.”

Li An looked at the roses outside the door, and then at Qi Fu, and also smiled in response.

Could it be that five carats also has another meaning?

The two of them smiled at each other, both with a meaningful expression.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Half a minute later, Qi Fu’s smile was stiff, and she silently lowered her hand a little.

She had held it too high just now, and now it was a little sore.

Looking at Li An over there, she thought for a moment and emphasized again, “Five carats, pure gold setting.”

Li An nodded repeatedly.

I know, I know. Five carats of pure gold. Just tell me how to use it.

Qi Fu waited and waited, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Playing hard to get!

Ji An is playing hard to get again!

Who wants to be a woman who is seen as money-grubbing? To pounce at the sight of a gift would seem too utilitarian. This is waiting for her to take the initiative.

Qi Fu smiled with a deep meaning. Just as she was about to take the initiative to pounce, she suddenly sobered up.

Wouldn’t this be completely led by the nose by Ji An?

She also had to play hard to get and not be so anxious.

Qi Fu immediately put down her hand, picked up the teacup again, and said, trying to make conversation, “This water is quite sweet.”

Li An knitted her brows.

The water is sweet?

She didn’t secretly put rock sugar in the pitcher today. Could it be that it wasn’t washed properly yesterday?

It shouldn’t be…

The attendant here is very attentive.

Could it be that Ji Yulin put it in?

That doesn’t seem right either.

Li An usually doesn’t like to drink water. She always feels that it has no taste. But she can’t win against the old cadre Ji Yulin, who would pour her a glass whenever she had nothing to do.

Li An didn’t dare to resist and could only secretly put rock sugar in the pitcher. When Ji Yulin poured the water, she could drink flavored water.

Could it be that Ji Yulin has compromised?

Li An thought and thought, and in the end, she picked up the teapot and also poured herself a glass of plain water.

Qi Fu saw this and smiled even more meaningfully.

Not proactive, but the moment she said the water was sweet, the other poured water to drink.

Qi Fu “tsked,” crossed her left leg over her right, and her raised foot hooked Qi Fu’s ankle, and she gently lifted it.

Li An was still tasting the water on the other side. She lowered her head and took a big gulp, smacked her lips, but didn’t taste anything.

Where is it sweet?

She was still wondering when she suddenly felt an itch.

She looked down and saw Qi Fu’s foot on her leg.

She looked up again and saw Qi Fu winking at her fawningly.

Huh?

Huh?!

Li An suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air, her face full of horror, as if she had seen some terrifying voice. She quickly lifted her foot and, with a thwack, stepped on Qi Fu’s instep.

“Pain!”

The other immediately screamed and repeatedly shouted, “Pain, pain, pain. You bastard, let go. It hurts so much.”

Li An didn’t dare to let go and even stepped on her with more force, afraid that Qi Fu would take the opportunity to pounce.

“Pain, pain, pain,” Qi Fu wailed, and tears came out. She raised her hand, wanting to grab Li An, which scared Li An into quickly dodging, afraid of being touched by something dirty.

Just then, a knock was heard from outside.

Qi Fu and Li An both froze and quickly shrank back, their legs and feet also retracted, afraid of being seen by others.

The knocking was still going on and did not stop because there was no response.

Li An and Qi Fu exchanged a glance.

Li An got up to open the door, and Qi Fu bent over and hid in the sofa.

Although they had not done anything, they had managed to create a commotion of being caught in the act.

The door opened, and someone said, “Professor Ji is discussing something with District Chief Qi. Fearing that you would wait too long, she specially got out of the car midway and bought you a cake.”

He added, “The moment Professor Ji got out of the car, she told me to hurry back.”

After saying this, he added, “But it’s also strange. There weren’t so many roses here when we went. How did they suddenly pile up? I almost walked past.”

Li An smiled sheepishly but didn’t know how to reply.

Qi Fu shrank further and further in, almost sitting on the floor.

After a few more words, the person was finally about to leave.

With the sound of the door, Qi Fu and Li An both let out a sigh of relief.

When Li An came back with the cake, Qi Fu had already sat back in her original position. Seeing Li An’s happy expression, she was so angry that she immediately said sarcastically, “Professor Ji really likes you.”

Li An glanced at her, as if to say, “If she doesn’t like me, who does she like?”

Qi Fu was even more angry. She had given so many things, yet Ji An had to step on her. Ji Yulin had just given her a small cake, and she was so happy, as if she had found some treasure.

She threw herself back with force, directly into the sofa, lifted her eyelids, and looked at Li An coldly, and said, “Say it. How much money do you want?”

Li An had just walked back, her mind full of the cake that Ji Yulin had given her, thinking that Ji Yulin should have calmed down by now and that she didn’t have to worry about her coming back and settling the score with her.

Li An, who had been on tenterhooks, finally relaxed, and then she heard Qi Fu say this.

This is…

Li An was a bit dazed.

And the person over there had already put on a domineering president posture, her hands crossed on her lap. She tilted her chin at Li An and said in a low voice, “I know you’re only close to Ji Yulin for the money.”

She then comforted her loftily, “I don’t object to your actions. In this post-apocalyptic world, any way of survival is worthy of respect. But…”

Her tone changed, and she looked at Li An coldly, and said, “I have a friend who likes Ji Yulin very much.”

“She’s still young and very dependent on Ji Yulin. I don’t want Ji Yulin’s attention to be divided between the two of you.”

Qi Fu paused for a moment, held her forehead, and sighed, “Ji An An is still so young. She can’t accept these things.”

Ji An An herself: …

The hand on her forehead fell, and Qi Fu covered her rising lips, and then said considerately, “I know you’re close to Ji Yulin for the money. What she can give you, I can also give you, and even more.”

“I’ve had someone investigate. You’re still a black household and can only live by relying on Ji Yulin.”

“I can give you a formal identity. In the future, you can walk freely in the thirteen safe zones.”

Qi Fu picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and put it down, and said, “I’ll also give you a generous sum of money, enough for you to live a carefree life. This is much freer than trying to please Ji Yulin every day and hoping for a little money from her.”

Qi Fu paused for three seconds and added, “What Ji Yulin can’t give you, and what she can give you, I can give you.”

Before she could put down the teacup, Qi Fu raised her hand to cover her mouth. She couldn’t help it. If she didn’t cover it, she would laugh out loud.

How could she be so good? She had only accompanied her mom on a few official business trips, and she already knew what it meant to be both kind and firm. The little trick she used was simply perfect, especially the last sentence, “What Ji Yulin can’t give you, and what she can give you, I can give you.” It was so cool. How could she have thought of such a perfect sentence?

On second thought, she regretted it. If she had known, she should have arranged for someone to secretly film her and record her cool state to show Ji An An. She would have to worship her to death.

The more Qi Fu thought, the happier she became, and she quickly took another sip of water to suppress it.

And on the other side, Li An finally remembered one thing.

She hasn’t told Qi Fu her identity yet!

Li An froze in place, her lips ground together. She held it in and held it in, and finally squeezed out a sentence, “You said…”

“Is there a possibility,”

Li An looked up at the sky and said guiltily, “That I’m Ji An An?”

Qi Fu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, “What are you doing? Ji An An is a little octopus. Even if you want to be a substitute, you have to investigate clearly.”

Li An’s lips curled up, and she said, “You can grow golden eagle wings. How can I not be an octopus?”

Qi Fu, who had been laughing, was suddenly stunned. Her mouth was faster than her brain, and she subconsciously said, “I grew wings because of my special ability. How could you be an octopus…”

She suddenly got stuck and looked at the other in disbelief.

Oh, right. She can grow golden eagle wings. How can Li An not be a person with a special ability, and her usual form is an octopus?

“You, what are you saying?” Qi Fu was still a little unwilling to believe.

Li An rolled her eyes and directly showed the evidence, “When you awakened your special ability, you bit my tentacle.”

At these words, the half-convinced Qi Fu was completely convinced. At that time, there were only the three of them in the operating room. Even her biological mother had been kept outside the door.

After Qi Fu woke up, Ji Yulin had warned her not to tell anyone about this, and Ji Yulin was not a talkative person. Since she had told others to shut up, she would definitely not say much either, so only the three of them knew about this.

She opened her mouth, but she couldn’t accept that the beautiful girl in front of her was a palm-sized little octopus. Her mouth opened and closed.

“What did you say? You’re Ji An An?”

Qi Fu’s face was full of vigilance, and she even warned, “Ji An, what nonsense are you talking about?!”

Although she had already believed it, she was still struggling.

Li An pouted, sat on the sofa, and said, “Do you want some cake? It’s the one you said was delicious at the reception.”

Qi Fu’s expression completely froze.

No, how can an octopus turn into a person?

No, if Ji An is really Li An, what was she just doing?

She was trying to seduce her friend?

She was also going to spend money to steal Ji Yulin’s corner?

Qi Fu’s face was stiff, and she felt like she was a little dead…
