After Falling in Love with a Tentacle Monster

Mu Qiuli fell in love with a tentacle monster for the sake of a mission. At first, he thought the monster didn't understand love, so he could get away with nothing more than holding hands. He never expected the monster to have everything planned out. As soon as they made their relationship official, the monster kissed him senseless.

The monster kissed him many times a day, then held him close and said, "Wifey, your lips are so soft. I can never get enough of kissing you."

The monster had far too many tentacles. They wrapped around Mu Qiuli's waist, arms, ankles, and every other part of him.

Ordinary people couldn't see the monster. As Mu Qiuli walked down the street each day, wrapped in tentacles from head to toe, everyone else saw him walking alone.

His coworkers at the Ability Management Bureau felt deeply sorry for him. The monster clung to Mu Qiuli and wouldn't let go, leaving them no chance to talk to him in private.

The monster knew ordinary people couldn't see him, so sometimes he would get handsy with Mu Qiuli in public.

Mu Qiuli was furious and used a dagger to cut off the tentacles getting in his way.

The tentacles quickly grew back. The monster complained that it hurt while kissing him fiercely.

Mu Qiuli's ability was healing. He hadn't healed many coworkers, but he'd used it on the monster plenty of times.

The monster remembered the human saying that a beating is a kiss and a scolding is love. He thought his wifey treated him this way because he loved him so much.

The monster tried even harder to please Mu Qiuli. "Wifey, you love me, right?"

Mu Qiuli slapped him. "Behave yourself!"

The monster's tentacles trembled with joy. "Wifey, you really do love me most."

The monster didn't like Mu Qiuli touching anyone else.

When a coworker came over to hand off some work, the monster hid in the room, his face twisted with jealousy as the tentacles behind him swept wildly, flattening the entire room.

"Wifey... mine... don't you dare take him away..."

The monster babbled in a language humans couldn't understand.

The coworker didn't dare stay long. They dropped off the documents and fled.

Mu Qiuli returned to the room. "Behave yourself. If you keep this up, I'll leave you."

The monster was so agitated by his words that his pupils shrank, and the tentacles behind him grew wildly.

"Lock you up... lock you up..."

Mu Qiuli hated it when the monster acted like this. He could speak human language, but whenever he got emotional, all he did was spout a bunch of words Mu Qiuli couldn't understand.

Frowning, Mu Qiuli started to leave, but a tentacle wrapped around his waist. "What are you doing?"

Tentacles wound around his arms, his legs...

Mu Qiuli was swallowed up by the tentacles. "Let go!"

The monster licked his cheek and begged humbly, "Don't go. Don't leave me."

Much later, the monster held Mu Qiuli close and kissed him, mumbling in a language humans couldn't understand.

Tears dampened Mu Qiuli's lashes. He weakly pushed at the monster. "Bath."

The monster kissed him, then carried him to the bathroom, perfectly content. "Of course, wifey."
