Chapter 69 The Birth of the Octopus



She was happy to think that she could deliver fruit, which would also make it easier to explain why she went up the mountain.

There are many kinds of fruit, but it doesn't look good to give too little, and it would be strange to give too much.

Especially since many of the fruits are growing exceptionally well, no one would believe you if you tried to lie and say you found them in the mountains yesterday.

At this moment, Xiao Yi spoke up and reminded me: "Mom, I saw wild grapevines among the fruit trees that were transplanted into the space yesterday. It just so happens that the special geological grapevines that I bought from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have ripened. The fruits are smaller and look more like wild grapes."

"Really? You've matured?"

Yuewu was overjoyed, never expecting the little octopus to be so helpful. "Come on, take me to see it!"

Upon exiting the water curtain storage space, they saw the little octopus watering the ginseng planted yesterday with spiritual spring water not far away. The scene was a bit funny, but it touched Yuewu deeply with the little octopus's diligence.

Meanwhile, the little octopus was chanting incantations, "Grow up quickly, then I can secretly eat one without anyone noticing. I've worked so hard watering you with spiritual spring water every day, so it's not unreasonable to collect some interest, right? So grow up well, or I'll eat you all!"

Xiao Yi heard the little octopus's words clearly, but he didn't tell Le Wu. He had plenty of ways to deal with her stealing food.

Meanwhile, Yuewu ran over, picked up the little octopus, and kissed it on the head.

Thanks to the blessing of the spiritual spring water, the little octopus's skin became bouncy and supple, with a wonderful feel.

The sudden takeoff startled the little octopus who was plotting to steal the ginseng. It mechanically turned around to look at Yuewu and found that she was not angry. Realizing that she must not have heard it, the little octopus relaxed.

When she turned around, she found that Xiao Yi's eyes were excessively sharp, as if she wanted to grill her.

She knew that Xiao Yi must have heard it, and he definitely wouldn't escape punishment today.

Waaah, why is her life so miserable? Her sacred spring water!

Le Wu continued to praise the fruit, and then took the little octopus to inspect the orchard's planting situation.

Only then did I realize that the further I went in, the more different varieties of fruit hung from the branches, their fragrance sometimes rich and sometimes refreshing.

The little octopus explained, "Some fruit trees bloom earlier and can be harvested, while others take a while longer, but overall, the planting time is several times faster than in the outside world."

The little octopus glanced at Xiao Yi and immediately continued, "That's what Brother Xiao Yi said."

Yue Wu didn't notice the nickname "Little Yi," but Little Yi suddenly looked up at the little octopus with a warning in his eyes.

It turns out that the little octopus felt that Xiao Yi was being too cold to him, so he deliberately acted cute and tried to win her over by calling out, "Brother Xiao Yi, smile!"

He even shamelessly claimed that he didn't laugh enough, which is why he wasn't growing tall.

During that time, Xiao Yi supervised the little octopus every day as it planted trees and watered them. If it slacked off even for a day, it would not get any food or spiritual spring water.

It's torture for non-octopuses!

Knowing that it couldn't escape punishment, the little octopus just wanted to indulge in some verbal gratification.

This is karma coming back to bite me!

Xiao Yi suddenly called out to Le Wu, her eyes sparkling with a smile, "Mom, the little octopus is working so hard, but she still doesn't have a name. Let's give her one too."

Yue Wu thought about it and agreed. It was indeed not good to keep calling it "Little Octopus" all the time, but she couldn't think of a better name for the time being.

Then Xiao Yi spoke up, "I have a name here..."

The little octopus immediately spoke up to stop them, saying, "No need, the little octopus is fine," showing a strong desire to survive.

Having come this far, how could Xiao Yi give up? She continued to suggest, "Let's call it Octopus. It's both fitting and cute."

"Octopus, octopus."

Yuewu recited it a few times, and it really did sound good.

Forget about cuteness, "octopus" sounds like an insult.

No, it sounds like she's insulting an octopus, she protested.

How can such a beautiful and delicate octopus be called "octopus"?

The little octopus firmly objected, "I disagree..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Yi interrupted, grinning at Le Wu without any attempt to hide it, "Little Octopus has a unique and easy-to-remember name. You can tell she likes it just by watching her gesticulate."

What the hell is this "gesturing wildly"? She's just so angry!

Ignoring the cold glint in the little octopus's eyes, Xiao Yi continued to suggest, "Why don't we name the squirrel too?"

Not far away, an innocent and vulnerable squirrel mother hugged her baby tightly. She resisted that magical name, and neither did her baby.

She didn't want her child to be unable to hold their head high in front of other rats for the rest of their life.

"What should we call him?" Yuewu asked.

"The big squirrel is called Weiwei, and the little squirrel is called Susu."

The squirrel mother thought it sounded pretty good.

The little octopus was furious. Why was she called "Octopus" while the newcomer was called "Weiwei"? She was not happy about it!

Yuewu asked again, "Why is it called that?"

Xiao Yi explained, "Because of 'vitamins,' and 'wei' is flower, 'su' is rice, and 'peanut' is peanut."

After hearing the explanation, Yuewu gave Xiaoyi a thumbs up, saying, "What a brilliant name!"

The mother squirrel happily accepted it, carefully looking at her newborn babies. "Hmm, so cute!"

Only the little octopus has achieved this sad world. Listen to the meaning behind her name, and then look at her own "octopus tentacles." This is clearly an insult to her.

With a backward fall, the little octopus fainted from anger.

Xiao Yi smiled smugly, thinking, "You think you can't be dealt with?"

Startled, Yuewu quickly put the little octopus into the fish tank and poured in the spiritual spring water.

After a short while, the little octopus woke up and found itself in the spiritual spring water, where all its anger dissipated.

Anyway, I can't beat that brat Xiao Yi, so I might cause trouble and he'll confiscate the spiritual spring water. That would be a loss. I'd better enjoy the spiritual spring water first.

The naming controversy passed just like that.
