Chapter 11 Have you taken the bait, baby...?
Everything is unknown, including the monster's desires and purpose, which means Ling Qiu has to explore entirely on his own.
However, since the monster's harassment started with Ron's invitation, it's only natural to use the relationship between the sexes as a starting point.
Ling Qiu felt it was absurd. Did this pervert follow her just to fall in love with her? She felt that her appearance was not good enough to bewitch a monster.
In short, to live in harmony with monsters, rules must be established, and she must be the one to establish them.
Ling Qiu closed her eyes and opened them again. Her lips had already left Anbot's lips. Hmm... not bad. After this guy turned into a human, the texture was exactly the same as human skin. Finally, it was no longer that disgusting fluid texture.
This means... she may actually have gotten a Li Jiale version of a sex toy.
When Ling Qiu looked up, she was startled by Anbot's gaze. His pupils were extremely dark, even more so than before, and they were fixed on her, as if he were about to devour her at any moment.
Ling Qiu saw something in his eyes...
She felt a lump in her throat, her appetite vanished.
How could she not recognize that look? In her boring life of more than twenty years, she had no way to eat meat. She couldn't eat the meat of Mante City, but as a human, how could she not be envious when she saw her fellow humans enjoying those seemingly delicious meats in restaurants?
Anbot looked at her with the same eyes she would look at meat.
Ling Qiu's heart skipped a beat. She realized she couldn't just kiss him anymore; it seemed to be having a bad effect. So she quickly changed the subject: "Would you like to try the delicious noodles I made last time, darling?"
She quickly pulled away, turned and went into the kitchen, saying, "Or do you prefer me to call you Bobo?"
When asking questions, speak softly and gently; when wielding a knife, hold it firmly in your hand.
Ling Qiu tried to ask the monster's name. Having spent so much time with this guy, she had figured out that the word "Anbot" couldn't be his name. No idiot would keep repeating their own name on the first meeting with a stranger.
She thought that the word probably had a different meaning.
For example... hello, idiot, go to hell, etc.
Could this pervert have been insulting her from the very beginning...? Tsk.
There was no response from behind. Ling Qiu waited patiently for a moment before asking again, "Or rather, what would you like me to call you?"
However, she received no reply after speaking.
Ling Qiu frowned briefly. She turned around to see what he was doing, but there was nothing behind her; the pervert had vanished.
Ling Qiu was startled and involuntarily took two steps forward, carefully and cautiously observing the room, but she saw nothing.
Just when she thought she could finally breathe a sigh of relief, a sense of dread washed over her from behind. A tremendous force enveloped her, almost like a bat. Ling Qiu's heart stopped, and she tightly closed her eyes, still gripping the electric knife tightly in her hand.
A second later, she opened her eyes and found herself strapped to the ceiling of her own home.
And that damn pervert was staring at her, and at that moment, she finally saw other emotions in his eyes.
He was laughing, a playful laugh, staring at her with a mocking gaze, as if he could see right through Ling Qiu's thoughts.
Ling Qiu couldn't help but feel guilty, wondering if this pervert had mind-reading abilities or something...
Since things have come to this, let's play dumb for now.
"Wow! Is this your special ability? So cool!" Ling Qiu tried her best to be genuinely surprised. To be honest, he was a monster; nothing he did would surprise her.
"Really!" She hugged his neck and rubbed against him. "I've always dreamed of having a monster husband! You must be the one sent by heaven to fulfill my wish, right?"
Soon, he made that strange sound again. Strictly speaking, it wasn't from his mouth. Ling Qiu felt as if she were in a 3D surround sound scene, with laughter surrounding her from all directions.
"Like?" he said, emphasizing the word.
This was Ling Qiu's second direct interaction with this monster. From the moment he opened his mouth in the restaurant, Ling Qiu could tell that every word he uttered was perfectly correct, almost mechanical. Ling Qiu concluded that he must have learned these human words from an AI or something similar.
He probably didn't even fully understand what those messages meant, including the ones he had sent her before.
“Yes, of course I like it.” Ling Qiu squinted. “I’d even be happy to help you learn human languages for free. Would you like to learn Chinese, English, or Japanese first?”
The monster continued to stare at her, but this time, his gaze was not so aggressive; rather, it seemed to be considering her.
It seems he needs to learn human language, though I don't know what his purpose is. It can't be for her, can it?
"How about Chinese?" Ling Qiu suggested. "Chinese is much more advanced. I think you'll be able to learn it quickly with your smart little brain!"
Just kidding, her English and Japanese are both mediocre.
Ling Qiu tried to ignore the fact that she was tied to the ceiling and started chatting with the monster.
"Hello." She extended her hand, but not to shake hands. Instead, she placed her fingers on the monster's heart. "My name is Ling Qiu, that's my name."
Her fingertips gently caressed his body, slowly writing the two characters "Ling Qiu". At the same time, she also realized that this guy had no heartbeat, and probably no heart at all.
"Ling Qiu." He actually read it aloud once.
Although he was a monster, Ling Qiu found his voice captivating... It was hard to judge whether it was pleasant or unpleasant by human standards; it was a wonderful feeling, like an ancient chant, distant and ethereal. Every time Ling Qiu heard him speak, he felt his scalp tingle slightly.
What's more, he's saying her name right now.
“That’s right, that’s how it is,” Ling Qiu continued. “When people meet, exchanging names is the most basic thing.”
“So…” Ling Qiu blinked, “What should I call you? Anbot… isn’t that your name?”
After several attempts, the monster clearly had no intention of telling her its name. When Ling Qiu asked him this question, he stared at her with the same eyes that belonged to Li Jiale. Ling Qiu could clearly feel that although the person in front of her looked exactly like Li Jiale, there was indeed a monster hidden inside that skin.
She saw with her own eyes that inside this human body was a pitch-black void, empty of everything except for an unfathomable abyss.
Suddenly, he laughed. His lips didn't move, but the laughter came from all directions, stimulating Ling Qiu's nerves.
“Don’t think I don’t understand your tricks.” He said slowly and deliberately, sounding like a leisurely superior.
Lingqiu guessed that he was probably just not familiar with the language, which was why he spoke slowly.
What are you pretending for!
Ling Qiu narrowed her eyes, wanting to see what tricks this guy had figured out.
“You seduced me,” he said.
Ling Qiu was stunned for a moment before she heard the rest of his sentence: "At the same time, he also seduced that man with no sperm."
Yes, monsters are scary.
Yes, the monster's voice is really creepy.
But when Ling Qiu heard him speak in such a disjointed manner, she felt no fear at all, and even wanted to laugh.
“Darling, don’t worry,” Ling Qiu told him, “Ron and I were just pretending, it was all an act. You are the real one!”
"If I don't do this, how could you have taken the bait? How could you have appeared? All my efforts are for you, have you taken the bait?" Ling Qiu said, staring intently into his eyes, while gently patting his cheek twice, her flirtatious tone obvious.
"Have you taken the bait, baby?" she whispered.
