Coveted After Becoming a Monster [Quick Transmigration] 79p1

Chapter 79: Extra 1-1

Ji Yulin had been experimenting on the island for a long time and had developed many potions, some of which had peculiar effects.

One day, to help Ji Yulin test the efficacy of a potion, Li An tried one of them.

—Drip, drip.

The potion in the laboratory dripped down. Looking into the glass jars and bottles, she happened to see a peach-pink little octopus.

Just like when she had first seen it in the sea, it was the size of a palm, its tentacles short, chubby, and round, its sapphire eyes lively and clear, like a cute, cartoonish glass doll.

The most interesting thing was that each of its tentacles was hugging a glass bottle, big or small. The already short and chubby tentacles were being stretched, and even its round head seemed a little flattened.

If it weren’t for her happy and satisfied expression, one would have mistaken her for a dried octopus being hung up to dry.

Getting a little closer, she could even hear the little octopus’s silly, satisfied laughter.

“Jar… jar…”

“Hehe, my jar…”

“…Jar beauty.”

The voice was like someone who was slightly drunk, satisfied and happy, as if she had gotten some great treasure.

It should be known that ever since Li An could freely turn into a person, she had rarely turned back into a little octopus. At most, only her tentacles would appear, and it was often to torment Ji Yulin.

And, she was no longer driven by octopus instinct. She didn’t even squeeze into the jars she had liked before, and just treated them as special decorations, and had a wall of them with other bottles and jars.

She just liked them, no longer so attached.

But now, Li An seemed to have completely turned back into her previous self, hugging this bottle, rubbing that bottle, like a money-grubber who had fallen into a pile of gold, a cat who had seen catnip, and was completely engrossed in Ji Yulin’s experiment table.

The woman in the corner had originally been in a hurry, but after seeing Li An like this, she suddenly stopped.

The transparent beaker beside her reflected the corner of her lips, which had unknowingly curled up slightly, and her features grew more and more gentle.

She was still in that white lab coat and shirt. Ji Yulin had always been like this, disliking change, no matter in her previous life or this one, her profession, her interests, and even her glasses were the same as they had been at the beginning. It was probably the stubbornness in her bones.

Whatever she chose, she would not change.

Sometimes, when Ji Yulin was in a daze, she would also wonder if it was this stubbornness that had allowed her to be lucky enough to be reborn and once again hold her destined lover in her arms.

—Clang.

A tentacle pulled at a glass cup and accidentally bumped into another, making a crisp sound, and the faint smell of the potion spread.

Ji Yulin subconsciously took a step forward, and after seeing that the bottle of potion was harmless, she stopped.

Half of it was to continue observing, and the other half was because it was rare to see the little octopus’s naive and clumsy appearance again, and she didn’t want to interrupt it.

Meanwhile, the chubby octopus on the other side glanced first at this one, then at that one, her expression torn and conflicted, unsure which jar beauty to favor first.

She was agonizing over it, and her tentacles were bickering too.

“This one, I want this round one… this one is good.”

“This triangular one, this one is cute…”

The leftmost tentacle was one step ahead and wrapped around the triangular flask, pulling the little octopus over.

“No, I want this one first, I want to squeeze into this one first,” a young and naive voice retorted.

The right tentacle was pulling at the table, pulling toward the beaker.

“No, that’s not right, you can’t, I want the ball…”

The tentacles behind her were not to be outdone, and they pulled the octopus and ran toward the test tube.

Eight tentacles, eight opinions. Li An, as the main brain, couldn’t make a decision and was happily appointing concubines.

This cup is the beaker noble lady.

That one is the gas washing bottle beloved concubine.

This conical flask beauty, it seems a little hard to squeeze in, but she is indeed beautiful. Let’s make her a promise first. Let’s see if I can get in later. If I can, I’ll promote her to a noble concubine.

This measuring cylinder also seems pretty good, so shiny.

What, there’s also a curved-neck one over there? This one is too difficult. I’ll take her into the palace first, and I’ll think about it…

If a money-grubber’s eyes would turn into the shape of a copper coin, then the little octopus now was one moment a beaker, the next a measuring cylinder, and the next a gas washing bottle. It was so chaotic that she didn’t know which one to pick first.

She had been brooding over there for a long time, unable to decide. Although her mind was a blank, as if she had no memory of being reborn, she could recognize all the utensils.

But Ji Yulin, beside her, had noticed and had made a check mark on the paper.

Although she is in this state, her body memory and basic cognition are still there.

At the mention of this, Ji Yulin thought of the previous Li An, who had always been a rascal, and had said that since one of Ji Yulin’s was enough, she would have to chop off the rest of her useless tentacles. She had made a fuss, just wanting to add a few more.

In the end, Ji Yulin had been so annoyed that she had grabbed the octopus and had dragged her into the laboratory.

Now it was fine. Eight tentacles and two hands, not a single one was idle. One second she was looking for a beaker, the next she wanted something else. She was not familiar with these utensils, and Ji Yulin was in a hurry. The tentacles went back and forth, and she was so anxious that she almost started to fight. Several times, she had bumped into them and had been twisted into a knot.

After experiencing this a few times, Li An no longer dared to say that her other tentacles were useless.

However, the matter of helping Ji Yulin with experiments had continued. Over time, she had even become more familiar with the laboratory than Ji Yulin, and knew the name and location of every utensil.

It was the same now. Though she was clueless, she clearly remembered each one.

“I like, this one…”

“This one is good,”

The little octopus was appointing and appointing over there, and her head was about to turn into a spinning top.

And the tentacles, seeing that the situation was at a stalemate, had a change of heart and began to fight for a position for the jar they had their eyes on.

“This is, the beautiful noble concubine!”

“No, no, this jar is the most beautiful. It should be the empress dowager.”

“No, this is the empress dowager.”

The eight tentacles argued back and forth. For some reason, they had subconsciously rejected the position of empress, as if this position had long been occupied, and it was unquestionable and unshakable. They only dared to fight for other positions.

The little octopus was in charge of the overall situation and simply made all the jars noble concubines. But the tentacles were all dissatisfied, and when their temper flared up, they actually started to fight.

The left tentacle and the right tentacle joined forces and pressed down on the foremost tentacle. Two round and chubby ones pressed a round and chubby one into an octopus pancake, and they kept grinding it back and forth on the table.

The middle tentacle made a “uh-oh, uh-oh” sound, like a helpless dumpling skin under a rolling pin.

Octopus tentacle brand dumpling skin.

The little octopus tried to pull it, but the other tentacles were not idle.

The other two on the left had already been twisted into a knot. Even so, the only active tentacle tip did not stop.

You hit me, I hit you.

The most outrageous were the remaining few. They were fighting inextricably. You poke me, I hit you, and you also have to slander that it was the other who hit you.

The little octopus was not big to begin with and relied on her tentacles to support herself. Now every tentacle was sticking up and fighting, leaving only the middle part to barely support her, like an octopus roly-poly toy, swaying.

Seeing her in such a mess, the person over there finally stopped watching.

The sound of footsteps followed. The little octopus hugged her short tentacles and turned her head, and she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar woman.

The little octopus blinked, a little dazed, not knowing how to react. It wasn’t until Ji Yulin had walked in front of her that she belatedly shrank back and hid behind a few bottles, and stealthily poked out half her head.

But the utensils inside were all made of glass, and not only did they not block anything, but they also made the creature look silly and comical.

Ji Yulin lowered her eyes and looked at her, her expression gentle.

The little octopus did not dare to look at her. She looked up several times and then dodged. The tentacle that was holding the bottle swayed, leaving a series of round marks on the glass bottle.

Ji Yulin was silent but reached out to the little octopus.

The creature was so scared that she trembled and timidly looked at Ji Yulin.

Her tentacles wrapped around the cup even tighter.

She hadn’t seen this appearance for a long time, which reminded her of their time on the island. The little octopus was also this pure and easy to bully. She didn’t know when she had learned to be bad, and her guts were getting bigger and bigger, and her various tricks were impossible to deal with.

An inexplicable bit of malice arose.

Ji Yulin reached out and poked one of the chubby tentacles.

The tentacle was so scared that it shrank into a ball, and even the tip of the tentacle was hidden, completely devoid of its previous arrogant appearance of being the fiercest in a fight.

Ji Yulin’s lips curled up. The moment her fingertip lifted, before she could poke another one, the surrounding tentacles quickly hid, and they were secretly trembling behind the bottle.

This appearance was indeed pitiful.

The little octopus was already cute to begin with, a pink and chubby one. Now that all eight of her tentacles were curled into a ball, she looked even more like a doll.

The moment Ji Yulin’s hand moved, she began to tremble. She even hugged her head with her tentacles, and the suckers on the bottle were getting fewer and fewer. In the end, she slid down the side of the bottle and fell to the ground with a “thud.”

The octopus ball rolled toward Ji Yulin.

Huh?

The creature, who was dizzy from rolling, was confused. Every tentacle was shouting that it was dizzy, trying to grab the table but couldn’t, and was swaying in the air.

“So dizzy, dizzy.”

“Dizzy.”

“Uncomfortable…”

The mumbling words did not attract Li An’s comfort. She was also so dizzy that she almost did a drunken fist on the table.

Fortunately, her tentacles were as useless as she was. She shook her head, not knowing what she was doing, and this saved her a little face.

Ji Yulin wanted to laugh but was afraid of hurting the little octopus’s self-esteem. She tried to press her rising lips together, but the smile escaped from the corners of her eyes.

The little octopus secretly saw this. She wanted to be angry but didn’t dare and could only bump Ji Yulin’s fingertip with her head.

Human, bad.

But this kind of behavior, of course, could not stop a person’s malice, and instead made her even more outrageous.

Her fingertips were on her head, and she pressed down hard.

Along with the octopus’s head and tentacles, they were all pressed to the ground.

She had turned back into a standard octopus.

Only, her expression was even more dazed, with a clueless, helpless look.

Human, what are you doing?

Are you trying to catch a little octopus?

But why do you have to press down to catch an octopus?

She was so dazed that the other person did not remind her and finally said in a low voice, “Why are you in my laboratory?”

Her words had a deliberately guiding component, which could not deceive others, and could only coax a dazed and silly little octopus.

The creature was indeed led astray and blinked at Ji Yulin.

Hey, is this your laboratory?

Then what is the little octopus doing here?

I don’t know. I was here when I woke up.

The little octopus asked herself but had no answer, and then she went to ask her tentacles.

The left tentacle flicked and replied, “I don’t know. I was here when I woke up.”

The right tentacle was even more dazed, “I don’t know. Didn’t you bring us here?”

A bunch of tentacles seemed to have suddenly found the culprit and all shouted.

“Yes, it was you.”

“You were the one who brought us here,”

“Bad, you’re bad.”
