Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 78

Chapter 78:

Ji Yulin and Li An’s elopement was faster than imagined, almost as if they couldn’t wait. After stabilizing the volcano situation and reaching a cooperation with the Eighth and Thirteenth Districts, the two of them were to return to the island.

Qi Fu and Ling Yun did not follow, choosing to stay and help the Eighth and Thirteenth Districts.

It was their own choice, and Li An did not want to interfere, just silently hiding some things.

Although it was not obvious on the surface, as long as the two of them encountered a fatal crisis, the life-saving talisman hidden in their bodies would appear and protect them.

As for Silver Feather, it was just one of the beasts that had competed for godhood. Seeing the many birds and beasts that still existed on the continent, one knew that it was not as powerful as an octopus, and now it had completely lost the opportunity to compete.

Li An thought and thought, and still left it a sliver of a chance to become a human. Although it was difficult, she still hoped that it could obtain its own opportunity in the future.

And that group of humans who believed in the octopus, when Li An first learned of it, she found it both amusing and absurd.

Not to mention other things, just the matter of becoming a god, she was not a complete god.

Although she only had one heart left, her darkness had been retracted, and all her memories had returned. She had even obtained Silver Feather’s darkness, and with it, she had been reborn from the ashes and had broken out of her cocoon to become a god.

But she had deliberately pulled Ji Yulin into it and had given a part of her energy to the other, so she had not really taken that step. Now she could only be called a demigod.

And that last step, she didn’t know when she could complete it. Anyway, Li An didn’t care. With her current ability, there was nothing on this continent that could threaten her.

And, she had no feelings of saving the world. Ever since she had her memories of her previous life, she had been filled with disgust for the humans of this continent because she felt sorry for what Ji Yulin had gone through, so of course she would not be a savior.

The only ones who could make her care a little were Qi Fu, Ling Yun, and the others.

So, before they left, they had stayed in the Thirteenth District for a few days.

Although Li An couldn’t say that she had done her best to make the Thirteenth District surpass the Research Institute in a short period of time, she had left the Thirteenth District with some foundation. She believed that as long as the Thirteenth District worked hard, in time, it would be able to fight against the Research Institute.

By the way, the tricks left by the Research Institute were also seen through by Li An at a glance and were waved away.

After doing all this, the two of them immediately returned to the previous island.

Now she didn’t even need the help of the Thirteenth District. With a thought from Li An, the island expanded a hundred times and was even further away from the mainland. It was surrounded by a mist, and ships that did not have permission would go around in circles in the mist and return to their starting point. If someone insisted, a poisonous gas would be produced.

As for the residence and the like, it was even simpler.

Buildings, tree houses, and caves were all just a thought away for Li An.

In this way, the two of them completely lived a secluded life.

And in the winter of the same year, the Research Institute, which had been repeatedly probing and doubting, finally couldn’t hold it in anymore. Seeing that the mutated plant method had failed, they immediately, under the name of the rebels, announced that they would expel the Eighth and Thirteenth Districts from the Research Institute’s protection and ordered an attack on them.

And the Thirteenth and Eighth Districts had long since joined forces with another three safe zones and had reached a cooperative relationship. With the Thirteenth District as the representative, not only did they release the news that the Research Institute was hiding the special abilities, but they also claimed that the Research Institute was the culprit that was hindering human evolution, and even revealed that the Research Institute was secretly developing mutated plants and harming humans.

After that, with the Thirteenth District as the representative, they declared war on the Research Institute.

The human world, which had just been stable for a few decades, was once again plunged into a fierce battle.

At first, the Research Institute was stronger and had the upper hand against the Thirteenth District and the others. But later, the truth was almost shoved in the faces of every deceived person, making them have no choice but to believe.

So more and more humans rebelled, and even the other safe zones were wavering.

The Research Institute, which had used all its tricks, gradually fell to a disadvantage.

And in this protracted battle, Qi Fu and Ling Yun also made a name for themselves. Under the deliberate instigation of Qi Peilan and the others, they even vaguely became the new generation of leaders.

Even Qi Peilan, who occupied the highest leadership position and had made the correct decisions several times, leading the special ability alliance to the right track, and Cheng Xi, who had a powerful crow pet, were slightly inferior to Qi Fu and Ling Yun in terms of fame.

Everyone firmly believed that Qi Fu and Ling Yun would definitely become the next leaders of the special ability organization.

It was just that now, they needed more time to hone their skills.

In this smoke-filled atmosphere, there were also a few funny things.

For example, that octopus cult that had originated in the Eighth District.

Not only did it not disappear with the passage of time, but it had a tendency to intensify. The number of believers had reached more than a hundred thousand and had spread to every safe zone.

Those believers wore robes with an octopus printed on them, wore octopus hats, and had a small octopus-style cross, and they would pray to an octopus statue all day long.

And their prayers were not useless.

From time to time, there would be one or two incidents of the octopus god showing its power.

For example, a person who had been confirmed to be unable to awaken a special ability, after believing in the octopus cult for a month, had actually suddenly awakened a special ability.

Although it was just a very useless auxiliary special ability, it also made him ecstatic. He kowtowed to the octopus statue and became the most loyal believer of the octopus cult.

There was also a little girl with a physical disability, who was born blind, which made her suffer a lot. But after believing in the octopus cult for half a year, she had miraculously regained her sight.

But these were all a minority. The people in the octopus cult all agreed that the octopus god preferred to mediate emotional disputes, and was particularly fond of same-sex couples.

Before, there was a lesbian couple who, because of a small matter, had a big fight in front of the octopus god statue. As a result, that night, the two of them had dreamed of a big octopus lying in the deep abyss of the sea, persuading this one and that one, and then spanking them both fifty times.

It was really with a tentacle wrapped around a wooden board, and it had hit the two of them on the back fifty times.

As a result, when the two of them woke up, their backs and butts were all black and blue, and it took several days for them to get better.

There was also a lesbian couple who, although they loved each other, would always argue in bed.

One complained the other wasn’t good enough; the other complained the first was doing it wrong.

They didn’t know what they were thinking, but they had actually prayed to the octopus god in a moment of madness.

As a result, that night, they had dreamed of a small teaching booklet, the content of which was rich and detailed.

It made a bunch of same-sex couples kneel before the octopus god statue, praying for the appearance of the small booklet.

But they didn’t know if they had dreamed of it, but Qi Fu had dreamed of it several times.

She was on the front lines at that time. At a time when she needed to rest calmly the most, the moment she closed her eyes, it was these things. And a few times, the teaching figures in the small booklet had turned into her and Ling Yun’s faces…

It had given Qi Fu dark circles for half a month. She had specially taken a few days off and had rushed to the outside of the island, and had cursed at the mist.

As for why she couldn’t go in, of course it was because Li An had a guilty conscience and had covered her ears and pretended not to hear.

However, after this, Qi Fu’s dream had disappeared. As for Ling Yun’s side…

Anyway, that month, Ling Yun had been frequently distracted. Even the people around her had noticed her absent-mindedness, so they had given her a week off.

Ling Yun’s expression did not show it, but the night before her vacation, she had disappeared and could not be contacted at all.

But many people said that they had seen Ling Yun’s figure around Qi Fu’s room.

But the person involved had not admitted or denied it, and had let the rumors that had once spread in the Thirteenth District spread like wildfire in other places.

“Still looking at your family’s long and short?”

A clear and cold voice sounded in her ear. The pink-haired girl immediately looked up, smiled sweetly at the woman opposite her, and threw herself at her with her arms open.

It wasn’t until Li An had hugged Ji Yulin that she remembered what the other had said, and she mumbled, “Who told you to go and get busy with experiments? I’m bored.”

Since coming to the island, Ji Yulin had picked up her research career again. With her powerful brain domain special ability, her control of every potion was extremely precise, so much so that she had figured out a lot of things.

For example, the awakening potion no longer relied on octopus blood. There were other substitutes, and there were also potions that could detect whether there was a special ability in the body, and so on.

And these things had already been put into use in the human world, and the effect was obvious.

When Li An first learned of it, she had also had doubts, not understanding why Ji Yulin, who had already grown tired of the human world, still had to help.

Ji Yulin had been silent for a long time and had only said that it was her hobby.

Li An did not ask any more questions. Everyone had their own unspeakable secrets, just like how she had sensed that something was wrong with Ji Yulin and had noticed the difference between her previous life and now, but had not taken the initiative to expose it.

Just like her system, her mission, she also could not mention it to Ji Yulin.

And although Ji Yulin had said that it was the long and short of her family, it was those believers of the octopus cult. For some reason, when their faith reached a certain level, Li An could sense their thoughts.

So, the incredible things from before were really done by Li An when she was bored.

Anyway, although the two of them were in a deserted place, they did not feel bored at all, and were even a little too busy.

Apart from research, watching the prayers of the octopus cult believers, there were also more and more strange and bizarre ideas from the little octopus.

Now, she had just been lying in Ji Yulin’s arms for a while, and the thought of cutting off her own tentacles to make takoyaki had popped up.

Ji Yulin had overused her special ability, so she was a little tired. She just glanced at her, as if in a warning.

How could she not know what Li An was thinking?

Half of it was because she was greedy for takoyaki, and the other half was because she wanted to make a fuss with Ji Yulin.

To avoid this kind of behavior, Ji Yulin could only say in a low and stern voice, “You can’t do this. Your tentacles have other uses. You can’t eat them.”

Li An pretended to be dazed and innocent, but the cunning in her eyes was undisguised. She deliberately raised another tentacle and mumbled, “You said before that one was enough.”

It was indeed enough. During this time, Ji Yulin had deeply understood how reckless she had been before, to have actually said such a thing as “stuff them all in.” She had seriously communicated with Li An and had proposed the requirement that one tentacle a night was enough.

Li An had tried to argue but had been beaten back every time.

Either don’t do it, or just one.

Ji Yulin’s attitude was firm, without any room for compromise.

Li An could only pitifully agree for the time being, but in the following time, she had not made a fuss about this matter less.

Now this takoyaki thought was also based on this.

Seeing her making a fuss, Ji Yulin calmed down and patiently taught, “You can develop some other uses. Don’t limit yourself.”

“For example?” Li An was thoughtful.

Ji Yulin did not sense the impending danger and said patiently, “For example, helping me with experiments, catching sea fish…”

But in the next second, her voice paused, and her clear and pleasant voice suddenly became low and hoarse.

“Bastard!”

“You didn’t even shrink it…”

“Don’t you dare to exploit loopholes here.”

“You cut it off, cut it off now. Make takoyaki, make sizzling skewers, make steamed and braised…”

“Li An!”

“You bastard.”

But soon, these protests completely disappeared, leaving only a low sob.

The malicious creature leaned down, and her eight tentacles enveloped the woman in her arms. The peach-pink tentacles were intertwined and wrapped around her, and silently, they held Ji Yulin’s ankles and wrists.

She had agreed, she had agreed. Every time Ji Yulin proposed a request, Li An would nod repeatedly. But after agreeing, it was hard to say if she would comply. Anyway, Li An always had a way, little by little, to test, little by little, to make Ji Yulin give in.

Seeing that Ji Yulin was completely suppressed, the mischievous and outrageous creature was about to proceed, but at this moment, a familiar and cold electronic sound suddenly sounded in her mind.

[Crackle… crackle… final mission.]

[The progress of eliminating the Research Institute has reached fifty percent. Please continue to work hard, mission-doer… reward, crackle.]

[Reward failed, crackle…]

Li An’s expression grew cold, and her eyes narrowed. An invisible wave suddenly appeared and landed in the Research Institute.

For some reason, the people who had been anxious and even gradually despairing suddenly became energetic again, and you said a word, I said a word, and many good ideas for fighting against the people with special abilities popped up.

At the same time, the machine sound in her mind appeared again.

[Crackle… mission…]

[The progress of eliminating the Research Institute has reached forty-eight percent. Please continue to work hard, host…]

[Reward, reward failed.]

Li An’s lips curled up, but she was taken advantage of by Ji Yulin and broke free. She raised her hand and pinched her ear, and scolded in a hoarse voice, “You bastard.”

Li An immediately let out a cry of pain and, both cowardly and pitifully, begged for mercy, “Mama, Mama, it hurts.”

But Ji Yulin had clearly not used any force and was just lightly pinching her earlobe.

The person was about to scold her again but was beaten to it by Li An, who said coquettishly in a low voice, “Mama, it hurts.”

“Don’t pinch, it hurts.”

Before Ji Yulin could react, she had immediately kissed Ji Yulin, blocking all her remaining words.

Still outrageously malicious.

But it was all Ji Yulin’s fault for spoiling her. She could only bear it herself.

The white mist grew thicker, and the sea breeze slapped the waves. At this moment, it was dusk again, and the sky and the earth were a vast expanse of orange, just like the days they had spent together on the island before.
