Chapter 109 Let's get to work!
The sweet blood flowed down his throat into his stomach, and the sweet fragrance enveloped Yue Yiyue's entire body. It was as comfortable and pleasant as when he was a child, lying in bed after the rain and listening to the sound of raindrops hitting the banana leaves.
Even the body felt somewhat swaying, and the ground beneath one's feet felt like cotton.
My mind felt like it had drunk aged medicinal wine—excited and happy.
The medicinal wine was extremely effective, directly dispelling the strange fog that had been lingering in Yue Yiyue's mind, and he became much more clear-headed.
In that instant, Yue Yiyue felt a long-lost sense of ease.
She then noticed significant changes in her body.
First, her eyes saw the world more clearly, and she could even see the tiny things constantly repairing the skin at Yu Man's wound site.
Yue Yiyue looked down and saw the tiny tentacles that were hooking around his legs.
Did I ever wear something like this before?
uncertain.
The little tentacle seemed to realize that Yue Yiyue could see her, so it made a heart shape with its hands as if to please her, and then disappeared.
It's strangely cute.
Meanwhile, he could hear the monsters whispering outside the window, anxiously searching for their prey.
Some were discussing how to tear the other person to pieces before going back to claim the prize.
There's a question about where the person went.
But being monsters with little intelligence, it only pondered for a moment before drifting aimlessly through the maze, following the tide they formed.
These subtle changes gave Yue Yiyue a strange sense of reassurance.
It was as if she had established a deeper connection with the world, or rather, with Gu Nanqiu.
Letting out a soft, satisfied sigh, Yue Yiyue looked at Gu Nanqiu, who had fallen into his arms and whose eyes were already comfortably closed.
He reached out and touched Gu Nanqiu's cheek. The simplest touch of skin gave Yue Yiyue a burst of satisfaction from the depths of his heart.
A sense of satisfaction that I completely possessed Gu Nanqiu.
Yu Man watched the two of them embracing so sweetly, and she found the scene utterly irritating.
She glanced down at her phone, then stood up.
"Hey...where are you going?" Zhou Qingyi watched as Yu Man suddenly walked in a certain direction. She stood up with some confusion, her hands covered in thick medicine, making her afraid to touch the hem of the person next to her.
Yu Man didn't give her any extra glances and disappeared into the darkness.
Zhou Qingyi glanced at the two still entwined, hesitated for a moment, and then ran out with Yu Man.
It's so uncomfortable to be here like a third wheel.
That Yu Man seems very strong; I should go with her...
Not long after, Yue Yiyue heard the sound of flesh being shredded coming from outside.
The monster's complaints turned into mournful cries, and the sound of gold coins rolling in the corner grew louder and louder.
Yue Yiyue was startled out of his emotional turmoil and nudged Gu Nanqiu, who was practically melting into a puddle, saying, "Time to get to work."
"Let me feel it a little longer..." Gu Nanqiu said lazily, her rosy lips opening and closing as she mumbled a complaint: "I'm only just beginning to feel what it's like when you first saw me. Let me feel it a little longer."
"Ah... I'm so happy! So you already had feelings for me the moment you saw me." Gu Nanqiu lowered her eyes, her thick black eyelashes trembling slightly, her throat vibrating slightly, and her joyful laughter reached Yue Yiyue's ears.
This made Yue Yiyue's ears burn, but he couldn't refute it; she had indeed been lustful at first sight.
"Even when I stabbed you, all you thought about was how well the clothes fit. I'm so incredibly happy..."
If Gu Nanqiu were a cat, Yue Yiyue would hear her purring happily at this moment, her paws kneading her body intermittently.
Unfortunately, Gu Nanqiu was human, so after Zhou Qingying left, she only used her somewhat cold hand to hook Yue Yiyue's hand, rub her palm, pinch her fingertips, and after playing with them for a while, they tightly intertwined their fingers.
Yue Yiyue was itching to do something like this, and wished she could pin the person down and give them a good hug. Unfortunately, reason told Yue Yiyue that she had something more important to do.
"Go back and slowly experience it." Yue Yiyue lowered his head and lightly pecked Gu Nanqiu's lips: "Ye Qiu is somewhere in this company, and two other clones that I haven't seen before have also come over."
“If you deal with your greed, I won’t bring up the past.” Yue Yiyue squeezed Gu Nanqiu’s hand, offering the bargaining chip he could: “Of course, I need to be mentally prepared for the thing you want most.”
After sensing Gu Nanqiu's surging emotions, desire also arose.
Gu Nanqiu's head is usually filled with... lewdness...
But if this matter is resolved smoothly, it wouldn't be impossible for her to just wear that shirt in the kitchen.
Gu Nanqiu clearly liked this offer. She kissed Yue Yiyue's fingertip, gently biting his fleshy fingertip with her canine teeth, and happily added, "And the fish head too."
"As long as you don't bring up those old grievances."
Yue Yiyue shook his head: "You can be greedy, but the fish head is my prey."
————
Following Gu Nanqiu in a certain direction, Yue Yiyue sensed a familiar scent.
Ye Qiu and two other Qiu stood quietly waiting in a dark place that could barely be called a door.
The moment they saw Yue Yiyue, they all smiled in the same way, as if they had undergone some kind of standardized training.
The scene was slightly eerie.
In particular, behind them were piles of all sorts of messy corpses, and their hands were stained with strange colored liquid.
This version of Gu Nanqiu matched Yue Yiyue's first impression of her.
Powerful and mysterious.
So she was naturally drawn to Gu Nanqiu and subconsciously led him back to her small storage room.
For a fleeting moment, Yue Yiyue felt that perhaps they were kindred spirits.
Having gone through so much, Yue Yiyue naturally understood that they could not be the same kind of people, but rather, family.
A more beautiful bond.
Yue Yiyue took two steps forward, stood on tiptoe, and stroked Ye Qiu's face: "Was that the boss that day you?"
"It wasn't really me." Ye Qiu pointed to Qiu, who was standing to the side with her arms crossed and a half-smile on her face. "But I was there too, I just didn't let you see me."
Yue Yiyue's gaze followed the direction Ye Qiu pointed and landed on Qiu, who was wearing a black turtleneck sweater and had beautiful curly hair. She nodded slightly with a reserved air, like a large cat, as if she didn't want to take credit.
Extremely cute.
"Then I'll call you Boss Qiu. Boss Qiu, what was that thing you gave me the other day?"
The woman raised an eyebrow slightly and quickly accepted the title: "You want to use that thing to kill the fish-headed monster?"
"Then it's better to find the kitchen, get a knife, scrape off the fish scales, remove the inedible parts, throw it into a pot, and simmer a pot of milky white fish soup."
Yue Yiyue stood there for a moment, thinking, before readily changing her question to, "Do you have a kitchen knife?"
A sharp machete was handed over, its tip gleaming with silver light, showing that its original owner had always cherished it.
"Baby, be careful—" Yue Lu's voice had a strange, bewildering quality in the darkness. Then, a cloud of black mist rose from the ground and quickly took on the shape of Yue Lu.
Yue Yiyue was momentarily dazed. He took the knife from his mother's hand, and the next moment he was pulled into the woman's arms. After a beautiful whisper, Yue Yiyue saw a strange mark on his hand, which curved and formed a curse.
It was autumn again. She walked up to Yue Yiyue and put a black cloth-wrapped object around his neck.
After a soft gurgling sound, the autumn leaves disappeared from the spot.
Yue Yiyue understood that they had returned to their original bodies.
Once the noise behind him had completely subsided, Yue Yiyue turned to look at Gu Nanqiu.
"Baby, it's time to go." Gu Nanqiu was still the same as before, except that she had grown a little taller and had a sense of oppression.
It's as if everything in the world is under her control.
Yue Yiyue looked down at the knife in his hand: "Let's go."
————
The monsters outside the room have been cleared out several times.
Yue Yiyue belatedly realized that he had indeed been tricked.
She had just said she wouldn't bring up the past, so Yue Yiyue only glanced at the little monster next to him who seemed to be pretending to be well-behaved.
We'll just find some excuse to let the little monster fall asleep on his own.
"A leap!"
"You can't think like that! I don't want to sleep with you!" Gu Nanqiu clung to her, loudly accusing, "You said you wouldn't bring up the past."
Oh, I forgot, the little monster can hear people's thoughts.
Yue Yiyue bit her lip and thought for a long time for a solution: "If you listen to my thoughts without my permission again next time, then you can forget about sleeping with me."
If we can't think of a solution, then we'll deal with Gu Nanqiu.
Gu Nanqiu, who immediately withdrew her ability to read people's minds, observed Yue Yiyue's expression with a pitiful look, knowing that the other party was still a little dissatisfied.
For the sake of her own better future, Gu Nanqiu decided to beat Tan Tan while he was hanging up and then send him back to reform.
"Yiyue, I'll give you a massage when we get back. I've made a reservation at a private hot spring. I'll give you a massage then to relieve your fatigue."
After soaking in the hot spring, the leaves turn a rosy red, like strawberry-flavored mochi. I'll have to try them then.
Yue Yiyue glanced at Gu Nanqiu.
"So satisfying... That's the look I'm looking at... I wish I could slap myself again." Gu Nanqiu excitedly rubbed her face against the glass.
"How can I stop listening to your inner thoughts..." Yue Yiyue rubbed his slightly reddened ear tips: "Don't you ever think about anything serious?"
I dare not think back to the past...
"How much further is it?" Yue Yiyue gave up thinking and decided to deal with this matter first, while she and Gu Nanqiu would take their time.
"Take a step forward, and then—" The enormous tentacle pierced through the suddenly attacking monster with lightning speed and flung it away lightly.
Zhou Qingying clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction, her face twisting into a fawning smile the moment she saw Gu Nanqiu: "Yeqiu?"
"You still came to see me."
"You should have thought through everything I told you, right?" She looked at Gu Nanqiu, her eyes shining brightly. "I've secured the investment you wanted, and I've also hired the lead actor for your new movie, just as you requested. I can fulfill everything you need."
"Do you love me?"
"Please love me, okay?" Zhou Qingying pleaded almost humbly.
Yue Yiyue felt awkward watching this scene and wanted to escape.
But her hand was held tightly by Gu Nanqiu, and she couldn't move.
Gu Nanqiu, however, was used to this kind of scene: "You've only done this little bit?"
"You think you can come to me and claim credit for just this little thing? Who do you think you are?"
"You think you can get my body just like that? Do you think I'm that cheap?"
"Mu Hongcai has given me the entire city of A. She doesn't dare to say more than a few words to me. Zhou Qingying, if you're still not awake, go back to sleep."
"Seriously, saying such disgusting things, if I were you, I would definitely find a place to hide."
One vicious word after another came out of that beautiful mouth.
At this moment, Yue Yiyue realized that the monster beside him was made of lust.
To know the love that is composed of passion and desire in the deepest part of the human heart.
Hearing Gu Nanqiu's words, Zhou Qingying paused for a moment, then quickly recovered: "But... I did it all for you—"
"For you, I gave up my human identity, my family, and everything."
"From the moment I met you, I have made so many efforts to be worthy of you."
"On what grounds?"
"Why is it that you won't even glance at me, no matter what?"
"We met three times at the cake shop, and I visited you many more times afterward."
Zhou Qingying's expression faltered slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She had the things Greed had given her... When the time was right, she only needed to use a little bit, and soon Ye Qiu would be entangled with her.
It's that same old nonsense again, all about self-interest. Gu Nanqiu has heard this for thousands of years and is too lazy to even bother to defend himself.
"Excuse me, by taking control of the entire Zhou family, what losses have you suffered?"
"Tell me, when you turned your sister into a grotesque, inhuman creature, what did you suffer in return?"
"When all the employees in Zhou City admired you, what disadvantage did you suffer?"
"Putting aside the wealth and status you've gained, putting aside the respect you've earned, do you feel lonely and cold when you're without a woman in your arms at night?"
"May I ask you something?" Yue Yiyue looked at Zhou Qingying's self-satisfied expression with utter incomprehension.
The unpleasant smell emanating from the other person assaulted her senses; sometimes, a person's wickedness is truly just a feeling.
“Exactly!” Gu Nanqiu immediately nodded in agreement, “And she’s never short of someone in her arms at night.”
Ignoring how Gu Nanqiu knew about the other person's bedroom affairs, Yue Yiyue stared at Zhou Qingying: "So what nonsense are you spouting?"
Zhou Qingying's mind was clearly being controlled by something strange; she frantically pulled out her phone: "Now that I have you, I won't contact them anymore."
"You are my only one..."
Yue Yiyue didn't know what to say, so she glanced at Gu Nanqiu and said, "You can handle it yourself."
If I say a few more words, Yue Yiyue feels that the nightmares she had tonight were all about someone whispering in her ear, "I did it all for you."
After saying this, Yue Yiyue took a step back, preparing to look for the fish head.
"One leap," Gu Nanqiu cried out pitifully.
"Let's finish this quickly so we can go soak in the hot springs and do whatever we want." Yue Yiyue left these words behind and resolutely pulled his hand away.
"Yes, ma'am!" Gu Nanqiu became excited for a moment. She turned to look at Zhou Qingying: "I think I rejected you before?"
Gu Nanqiu softened her voice and pointed her finger at the air. Something in the air churned violently, and there was a faint rumble of thunder mixed with damp moisture.
The strong, thick tentacles were in an aggressive posture, lying prone on the ground.
Zhou Qingying still remembered Lord Greed's words. She touched her sleeve, and soon a strange fragrance filled the room.
Greedy Lord said that this thing can restrain Gu Nanqiu.
Gu Nanqiu would be controlled by desire the moment she smelled this scent...
————
Yue Yiyue made a few random turns and heard the sound of a knife scraping the ground from the side.
They arrived as expected.
That fish head, in a sense, is like a dog; it comes running as soon as it smells something.
Yue Yiyue touched the knife in her hand and sighed. Logically, she should maintain a good mindset.
But the thought of that fish head stabbed Gu Nanqiu in the back was enough to make him regret it.
Okay, screw that good attitude.
Yue Yiyue slipped into a corner, listening to the heavy footsteps growing ever closer…
Getting closer and closer...
Timed perfectly, Yue Yi leaped swiftly outside.
But it was stopped by a light breeze.
Yu Man lowered her eyes to look at the aggressive human: "You seem to have attacked the wrong person."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yue Yiyue immediately took back the things, looking somewhat embarrassed at Yu Man: "Sister... I'm sorry, but just now, I clearly..."
"It's just a simple spatial movement." Yu Man didn't think much of it and explained, "Now I need to throw this somewhat troublesome human behind me out."
"Please be careful."
After speaking, Yu Man gracefully walked towards the other side of the wall, while Zhou Qingyi, who was tightly bound by an unseen wind, struggled with difficulty: "There are things here specifically designed to deal with Gu Nanqiu..."
"In a room with a pink door, the rule there is absolutely, absolutely no talking."
"You have to burn that thing completely."
As she said this, she tossed a lighter at him.
Looking at the rectangular object lying in his hand, he said, "Thank you."
"Treat me to a meal then."
Zhou Qingyi was about to ask why he had helped her and even invited her to dinner when he suddenly realized something and gave a self-deprecating laugh: "I'm sorry, it's what I should do."
Yu Man felt that the people behind her were being a bit too noisy, and she missed Yu An a little.
She always had a better eye for reading people's expressions.
————
Yue Yiyue searched for the fish head while also looking for the door Zhou Qingyi had mentioned.
I saw traces of that fish several times, only for it to disappear quickly.
It's like playing hide-and-seek.
There must be a master guiding this.
Yue Yiyue then remembered the things in the very first room he had entered.
Although Gu Nanqiu's doppelganger theory is irrelevant.
But I felt inexplicably uneasy.
Yue Yiyue cautiously wandered around the maze until she realized that she seemed to be tricked by the fish head into going further and further away in a certain direction, and she could still vaguely see the door that they had escaped from at the beginning.
It was as if it was preventing her from finding that pink door.
What a joke! Even without being stopped, Yue Yiyue wouldn't have much of a chance of finding him.
This godforsaken place is all the same; now, every time we pass an intersection, we can hear the sound of the road changing behind us.
The fish head's obstruction gave Yue Yiyue a new idea, and she silently walked in the opposite direction from where the fish head had appeared.
He appeared in the south, and then He went north.
If it appears on the left, head south.
After several such encounters, Yu Tou noticed that Yue Yiyue was almost at that crucial spot.
After a brief moment of simple thought, His fish head, amidst a fragrant and spicy aroma, picked up His knife and leaped toward Yue Yi.
"You...you deserve to die..." The fish remained expressionless, coldly carrying out its master's last command before disconnecting from it.
"You...you deserve to die..."
Yue Yiyue dodged the fish head's attack by sidestepping, and noticed that the fish was dragging a long section of intestine. She endured her nausea and cut the intestine off.
The room was instantly filled with a disgusting fishy smell, and slippery fish scales fell onto Yue Yiyue's hands, which were covered with green moss.
He quickly cut off the parts covered in fish scales, enduring the pain, and then cut off the fish head, which was hesitant to move due to its ruptured intestines.
One cut.
Two cuts.
Three cuts.
Blood splattered, leaving red marks on the white wall, like blooming plum blossoms.
Beautiful yet cruel.
Looking at the monster lying on the ground, Yue Yiyue's hands trembled as he untied the black cloth wrapped around his neck.
The yellow talisman paper, covered with incomprehensible runes, landed on the fish head and burst into flames.
As the smoke rose, Yue Yiyue saw a woman who had been working overtime for 28 consecutive hours, staggering towards a chopped chili fish head restaurant.
"Ah...it's finally over...I'll treat myself to a spicy fish head..."
"Tomorrow's life will be even better!"
"I will definitely pay off the loan!!!"
One dream after another, belonging to Yu Tou, rose up, only to be punctured one by one by needles that appeared out of nowhere.
A soft sobbing sound came from the corner.
"I don't want to kill anyone..."
"I'm not going to work for gluttony anymore..."
“Those are all my kind…”
"I'm in so much pain..."
"Why is no one coming to save me...?"
"Ah... I was so close to getting to eat it..."
“No need to kill anyone.” Yue Yiyue walked to a corner and looked at the hunched-back monster.
Because of her connection with Gu Nanqiu, she gained a somewhat peculiar ability.
Yue Yiyue clenched his fist, and soon a pink cloud of mist floated out from his hand and landed on the true body of the fish-headed monster.
Soon, a look of bewilderment appeared on the fish-headed monster's face, followed by a satisfied expression.
"As expected... the chopped chili fish head is the best after working overtime..."
In reality, the thick tentacles pierced through the fish-headed monster, and its face, which was covered in strange tumors due to mutation, gradually changed back into its original tired female face.
He felt at peace because he had satisfied his appetite in his surroundings.
"Th-thank you...I'm free now..."
"I've killed so many people... my soul will never get into heaven..."
He kept rambling on and on, saying how much better it would have been if he had been more assertive that day and refused to work overtime. His house had just been renovated, and he probably gave it to his sister in the end.
He also cursed gluttony, saying that it had caused Him to kill so many of His own kind.
Yue Yiyue listened quietly, occasionally chiming in with a word of agreement.
He exhaled his last breath, his gills twitching: "Ah... my mission has failed too, so you are free..."
"Your feud with Gluttony ends here. No more monsters will bother you..."
"It's just a pity that your orphanage was completely slaughtered by us."
Yue Yiyue did not respond.
To be honest, this is a long time ago for her. The anger she felt back then is now just a feeling that thankfully the world has been remade and she didn't drag her mother and sisters down with her.
She was blinded by rage at the time, and the only thought in her mind was that since Gluttony had killed her brothers and sisters, she would go and get rid of the children that Gluttony had raised.
Looking back now, I realize I was truly blessed by God's protection.
The grudges from that time were settled then.
There's not much more to say about this life.
Yue Yiyue watched as the fish head shrank, eventually becoming nourishment for the tentacles and disappearing from the scene.
it's over.
It wasn't particularly difficult, after all, she had been greatly strengthened by the main god and had also received a knife from her "mother".
His gaze fell upon the tentacles that were trembling with excitement from being used by him.
It immediately wrapped around Yue Yiyue's hand, and the sticky substance covered Yue Yiyue's injured area, causing an itch to come from the wound.
This healing method is not bad. Yue Yiyue pinched the tip of the tentacle: "Thank you."
The tentacles excitedly brought over two bottles of water to clean Yue Yiyue.
After tidying up a bit, Yue Yiyue turned around and walked in the direction the fish head had pointed before it died.
