Bard gritted his teeth but didn’t say a word.
After she ended the episode, Chen Xinyue no longer paid attention to the reactions of the surrounding people. Instead, she turned around and walked away.
She casually waved her hand.
“Jon, let’s go. We need to deliver the medicine to Officer Yuan Ye.”
“Oh… Oh!”
The curly-haired puppy, realizing a bit late, immediately grabbed the medicine box and followed along.
“Coming~”
Bard watched their figures, his eyes stern and gloomy. Only after their figures completely disappeared did he wave his hand and call his trusted confidant over, and said in a low voice.
“Immediately send a confidential message to the Lord, informing them that Chen Xinyue has deceived us… wait, no, we can’t say it like that.”
He carefully considered his words, then opened his mouth and continued.
“Just say that woman has hidden the king creature’s body somewhere else, and Yuan Ye is just a diversion.”
“But we have already been exposed, so we can only let others investigate secretly. It needs to be done quickly. She has already bypassed the headquarters and reported to the royal court. If nothing unexpected happens, the decontamination officer sent by the main city should already be on his way!”
“Yes!”
The man with triangular eyes whose face was swollen nodded, his expression turning sinister. He immediately turned around and left.
The military boots splashed mud as they stepped on the muddy path.
Splat—
–
Splat, splat.
Inside the wooden house, a pink succulent with two dirty feet tiptoed on the tabletop, walking over with a slightly guilty look.
Perhaps due to physical weakness and exhaustion, Yuan Ye, at this moment, no longer maintained an upright posture like before. Instead, he lazily leaned against the edge of the table.
After traveling all morning, his hair had dried up and was now hanging on his forehead, slightly messy. Two or three stray hairs were sticking up on top of his head, adding a touch of softness to his originally stern face.
If we add the slightly flushed cheeks and the symmetrical heart-shaped marks, perhaps this cold and aloof young person could be described as “cute.”
Ye Yunfan stared at Yuan Ye and felt that he was a fascinating person.
When they first met, the other person exuded a strong murderous aura, like a sharp and chilling knife, making people afraid to approach. But now, with just a slight change in posture, he seemed like a tired and lazy cat.
Paired with those heterochromatic eyes, it adds to the resemblance even more.
[So good looking.]
[His eyes are so good looking.]

After a long silence, the little tentacles finally began babbling again.

This realization quickly allowed Ye Yunfan to regain his sense of crisis and adjust his mindset.
However, Yuan Ye was unaware of the twists and turns of Ye Yunfan’s thoughts. At this moment, he simply watched quietly as the “little jellyfish” ran towards him.
The young man noticed that the way this little creature walked was quite peculiar, as if it was offering its own face to him as it approached.
It’s a bit silly and funny.
The corner of the young man’s lips curled up silently. In fact, he was still running a fever, but for some reason, at this moment, he felt much better in spirit.
Perhaps due to being accustomed to a life where danger lurks in every corner, Yuan Ye’s body has developed a peculiar defense mechanism. Whenever someone approaches, even if his body is in a terrible condition, his brain immediately forces itself to become alert.
So when Xu Ke arrived, Yuan Ye quickly woke up.
It’s just that he felt like he had a very short dream, but he couldn’t remember the specific details. He only vaguely recalled a certain…
Cold, damp, and sticky sensation.
However, Yuan Ye didn’t reject it because he seemed to be very thirsty at that time. Later, after he had the dream, he no longer felt thirsty.
He subconsciously licked the side of his cheeks, unsure if it was just his imagination, but he had a lingering feeling that there was still a slight stickiness in his mouth. Moreover, the base of his tongue had a somewhat sweet and fishy taste.
Is it just an illusion?
Or is it the residual blood from before?
Yuan Ye pondered.
The little octopus, who had been closely observing the young man’s facial expression, suddenly froze. He waited for a few seconds, but Yuan Ye showed no reaction and just continued to stare at him quietly.
Staring at Ye Yunfan until the entire octopus felt hairy.
…Even though he didn’t have any hair.
However, in reality, Yuan Ye was just earnestly trying to recall that dream, but he couldn’t remember anything. He only remembered that as his consciousness gradually returned, the little jellyfish was attached to his forehead.
His body, which is used to resist all physical contact, inexplicably behaved uncharacteristically, showing no signs of intense resistance.
Instead, it transmitted a sense of the opposite feeling—
Ice-cold, but very comfortable.
This was the first time that Yuan Ye’s body felt a sense of peace and comfort after being touched by a living creature.
This left Yuan Ye feeling confused, but also gave him a glimmer of hope for healing.
Perhaps his illness can be cured.
[Yuan Ye, if humans really won’t do, I suggest you try finding something similar to human limbs to test it out.]
— This is a suggestion from Everiel, a renowned psychologist from the main city.
Everiel is a gentle and beautiful woman. She is also a gifted person, but unfortunately, her abilities do not lie in combat. As a result, she did not join the decontamination organization or become a member of the royal court’s guards. Instead, she became a somewhat renowned psychologist.
In this cruel era, parting ways and death have become commonplace, and people with psychological issues are no longer a minority.
On one side, Yuan Ye earnestly considered Everiel’s suggestion. On the other side, he found himself lost in thought while looking at the little jellyfish in front of him.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense!
But at this moment, the little octopus who had been the focus of someone’s eyes for a long time became increasingly anxious. Because when Yuan Ye was lost in thought, his face showed no expression, making him appear quite cold.
Ye Yunfan stood stiffly for a moment, tentatively reaching out one of his tentacles to poke the fingertip of the young man covered with gloves.
Yuan Ye felt a tingling sensation in his finger, snapping him back to reality. However, instead of immediately pulling back and creating distance like he used to, he stiffly maintained his original posture.
After a few seconds, he cautiously reached out and gently touched the little tentacle, slowly and carefully feeling the suction cups on the inner side of the tentacle.
It felt softer and smoother than human skin, with a sticky and moist sensation.
Yuan Ye felt a numbness spreading through his entire hand, causing his breathing to become slightly more rapid.
However… he didn’t feel any resistance or aversion towards it.
The little octopus, who had his suction cups touched, suddenly turned a little stupid. He didn’t understand what Yuan Ye meant. Did he start to doubt that his race wasn’t a jellyfish?
Ye Yunfan felt that this speculation made sense, so he immediately turned several tentacles inside out, resembling a peacock spreading its tail, to show Yuan Ye the heart-shaped suction cups on the inner side of the tentacles.
Look! Look!
Which jellyfish has suction cups like these?!
The little octopus looked up, his blue eyes filled with hope.
However, Yuan Ye didn’t understand what the little octopus was trying to convey. After thinking for a moment, he spoke up and asked.
“Little jellyfish, are you hungry?”
Ye Yunfan: “……”
The baby octopus retracted the row of tentacles and hid all the heart-shaped suction cups.
The young man nodded and muttered to himself, “Sure enough, you must be hungry.”
Seeing it retract its tentacles, Yuan Ye thought he had guessed the right answer. He then picked up a palm-sized glass bottle from the small wooden box and unscrewed the lid.
However, when he saw the empty water glass next to him, he clearly hesitated for a moment. He subconsciously looked at the “little jellyfish,” who suddenly stiffened all over.
But Yuan Ye didn’t think much about it and poured some of the liquid from the bottle into the glass, then pushed it in front of the “little jellyfish.”
“Drink up, it’s a nutrient solution.”
Ye Yunfan froze in place.
He looked at the glass, then looked at Yuan Ye.
Why did the first thing this guy did after he got the medicine box was to feed this little octopus?
For a moment, Ye Yunfan couldn’t quite put into words how he felt. But the little tentacles, which had been silent for a long time, couldn’t help themselves and started to make a fuss again.
[Fragrant! Fragrant! Want to drink!]
[Want to drink, want to drink!]
So, the little octopus crawled over and tentatively took a few sips. It was slightly thick and had a texture similar to rice water, but it didn’t have much flavor.
[Stamina Value +10]
After taking a few sips, Ye Yunfan looked up at Yuan Ye, but the latter didn’t look at him. Instead, Yuan Ye tilted his head back and drank the remaining nutrient solution from the bottle.
Then, the young man picked out seven or eight small medicine bottles. He injected some of them into his veins using a syringe, while he swallowed some of the pills directly.
Yuan Ye performed this series of actions with great proficiency and naturalness, as if he had done them thousands of times before.
The little octopus secretly glanced at the labels on the medicine bottles. There were both Chinese and English on them, but the various markings on the medications were different from what he remembered.
Ye Yunfan inwardly guessed that this place seemed to be a parallel world similar to Earth.
There were a lot of medicines delivered, and even with Yuan Ye’s severe injuries, only half of them were used. He collected the remaining medicines and put them away in a cabinet.
The little octopus was very curious and peeked from behind to see. When Yuan Ye opened the cabinet, Ye Yunfan discovered that there were actually some more medicine bottles inside, and some of them were actually the same as the ones that were delivered.
Not knowing why, Ye Yunfan inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Yuan Ye wasn’t a fool who would put himself in danger without any hesitation.
Yuan Ye picked out two clean clothes from the closet and turned to walk towards the inner room. At that moment, Ye Yunfan was still lost in his own thoughts and subconsciously followed suit.
At that moment, the young man’s footsteps suddenly halted. He turned around and looked at the little octopus that had followed him. The latter also snapped out of his thoughts and looked at the clothes in Yuan Ye’s hands and immediately realized something.
Oh, right! This person is going to take a shower. Why am I following him?
Without hesitation, the little octopus immediately turned around and politely left.
But the next second, Ye Yunfan heard the familiar sound of a sword being unsheathed.
Swish—
When he snapped out of it, he found himself once again lying on top of a familiar long knife.
Ye Yunfan: “…….?”
The little octopus looked up, his expression full of question marks.
“You’re so dirty.”
The tone of the young man sounded a bit disdainful, and he immediately carried the dirty little jellyfish and walked into the bathroom.
“Come in and wash.”
So dirty! … so must have a bath … hahahahahaha 🤣 Thanks for the update ❤️🐙
Poor dirty jellyfish 😅
These two are adorable together 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the chapter
Thank you for the update
Small +1

Dirty +55555
I think Ye Yunfan needs to look out for those emotional damages, pfft-
That little jellyfish happened to have been taking care of you! 😤😤
Poor ye yunfan 😂 mislabelling an octopus as a jellyfish is a crime mr yuan ye lol
I have to imagine a wet little octopus is a great dist collector…
Why do I have a feeling that there’s no octopus in this world that’s why they keep mistaking Ye Yunfan as a jellyfish?
