But Qianyuan had no other way to express her pain except by crying.

He can't even speak.

He leaned against Zhou Jinze's chest, looking so pitiful that even the system felt bad and told him, "The body you chose now is too small and can't withstand the punishment. I'll give you a chance to start over. Wouldn't it be better to choose an adult body?"

Qian Yuan is so small, but she has a big temper. She still holds a grudge against the system and ignores the system's words, whining and whimpering in Zhou Jinze's arms.

Zhou Jinze noticed that he was frowning and his face was as round as a steamed bun. He finally realized that something was wrong and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Where does it hurt?"

Octopus Sprout clutched its stomach.

"Stomach ache? What did they feed you? That crazy bastard Bo Yuchuan, I shouldn't have..."

Before Zhou Jinze could finish speaking, Qian Yuan continued to cover her head, arms, and legs.

It hurts everywhere.

Zhou Jinze was stunned.

Before he could react, Qianyuan, unable to withstand the pain, transformed back into her octopus form.

The soft, warm cub in his arms disappeared, leaving Zhou Jinze holding nothing. He then slowly lowered his head to look at that little blue dot.

He felt that the baby octopus was about to die.

"bump--"

A tremendous tremor came from the other containment chambers, as if the monsters were anxious about the loss of their offspring.

Zhou Jinze picked up Qianyuan blankly, stood up abruptly, and ran towards the door.

"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have left you..."

Zhou Jinze watched as the octopus seedling in his hand grew weaker and weaker: "I'm sorry..."

Zhou Jinze even had the urge to trade his own life for Qian Yuan's.

[Beep, sufficient emotional value detected. Your punishment period has temporarily ended.]

When Qianyuan opened his eyes, he saw himself lying on a cold operating table. The doctor, who had only ever treated humans, stared blankly at the little octopus seedling, but his spirits lifted when he saw Qianyuan open his eyes.

"She's awake! She's awake!!!"

Good heavens... if this little monster doesn't wake up soon, he's afraid Zhou Jinze will just kill him.

This has never happened before. Who would treat a monster?!

Dr. Lin had a long face. When Bo Yuchuan came over, he wanted to complain to Professor Bo, but Professor Bo just stared at the little monster.

He said to Zhou Jinze, "You saw it too, right? The only reason these containment objects suddenly rioted is probably because of him... He can help us control the other monsters!"

Zhou Jinze remained silent, ignoring Bo Yuchuan completely.

Before Bo Yuchuan could say anything more, Zhou Jinze picked up Qianyuan and tried to leave.

"etc."

“Captain Zhou, you have already transferred the authority to contain C-036. C-036 is no longer under your jurisdiction, and you have no right to take it away.”

Zhou Jinze paused. He had indeed voluntarily transferred authority before. Now, the person in charge of Qianyuan was Bo Yuchuan. If Zhou Jinze tried to take it by force, Bo Yuchuan could even accuse him of being bewitched by a monster.

Zhou Jinze had no choice but to let go of Qian Yuan.

But the fragile Qianyuan was not so obedient. When the little guy felt that the only source of heat had left, he immediately hooked his tentacles onto Zhou Jinze's fingers and clung to him with his last bit of strength.

It's that same action again.

Zhou Jinze felt his heart skip a beat.

Then, he grasped Qianyuan's hand in return.

He stared at Bo Yuchuan with hostility in his eyes.

Bo Yuchuan laughed: "This little guy is really something, he even managed to bewitch Captain Zhou, not bad, not bad."

"Hey, why don't you try to seduce me?"

Bo Yuchuan approached the octopus seedling slumped on the table. Unfortunately, Qianyuan was indeed completely powerless, not even having the strength to be angry. She squinted her eyes, listless and dejected.

"well……"

Bo Yuchuan couldn't help but sigh in disappointment.

This little guy is so amazing, how come the first thing he sees when he opens his eyes is Zhou Jinze? ​​Wouldn't it be wonderful if the little monster clung to him? He would definitely raise the little monster to be the most powerful being, strong enough to possess abilities far beyond human reach, and restore this world to its original state…

Bo Yuchuan narrowed his eyes again, intending to snatch Qianyuan from Zhou Jinze's hands.

Feelings can be cultivated gradually...

Qian Yuan's strength was no match for Bo Yuchuan's. Seeing that he was about to be dragged away, Zhou Jinze couldn't stand it anymore and immediately grabbed one of the octopus seedlings' tentacles.

Well, that's it. The round octopus fry has been torn into a flat octopus fry by the two of them. Luckily, it's incredibly elastic and wasn't torn in half.

"No way!" It's a tonic!

Dr. Lin was really afraid that Qian Yuan would be killed by these two living ancestors again, so he quickly reached out to catch her, but Qian Yuan directly broke off the two tentacles and fell into Dr. Lin's palm.

It seems he doesn't want anyone today.

Zhou Jinze, meanwhile, stared in disbelief at the small tentacle in his hand.

It's broken! It's broken!!

But the next second, the tentacle melted directly into the scar on his left eye.

Zhou Jinze's scars have been healed.

It could also be said that Qianyuan's tentacles reversed time, reverting Zhou Jinze's condition back to before he was injured.

However, they have not yet determined whether it is the ability to heal or reverse time.

After all, Zhou Jinze's left eye has not recovered, or rather, it has turned into a grayish-blue color.

Looking at Bo Yuchuan again, the tentacles in his hand were nowhere to be seen, but the smile on Bo Yuchuan's face had never been so genuine.

"Forget it, arguing like this will only hurt the cute little guy. We can work together. The little guy likes you, so you should take good care of him too."

Zhou Jinze no longer cared about anything else. He felt that his mind was now completely filled with the idea of ​​raising a child, and he couldn't wait to take Qianyuan back and build a proper nest for him.

However, Qianyuan only shrank back into Dr. Lin's palm.

It tightly retracted its little tentacles.

He was truly terrified of his two guardians.

He's so young, and you've already made him sever two of his tentacles!

Bad guy!!!

As a result, Dr. Lin was targeted by the two men who were eyeing him covetously.

Dr. Lin: "I'm a human doctor, not a veterinarian!!"

However, none of them listened to Dr. Lin and directly transferred him to another department, replacing him with a staff member in charge of containment and management.

The personal nanny for C-036.

After all, C-036 just went through such a big crisis and is still so young. It's very likely that it will get sick again. Having a doctor around to watch over it will give us peace of mind.

Thus, without anyone noticing, the containment configuration of C-036 was almost comparable to that of an S-class containment object.

How can this not be considered a form of becoming stronger in a worldly sense?

Unfortunately, the little guy who was recovering from his injuries was unaware of all this. After waking up, he simply asked people for food as usual.

Zhou Jinze, holding the apple puree, wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he immediately lifted up the octopus seedling to look at the wound where its tentacles had been severed.
