It's the Apocalypse, So Having Tentacles Is Pretty Normal

When the apocalypse arrived, Shi Nan turned into a tentacle monster.

Her eight tentacles were cute, soft, and pink. They were powerful and razor-sharp, and she could absorb energy by eating to strengthen herself.

Shi Nan cautiously nibbled here and there, and somehow ate her way to SSS rank.

She was invincible wherever she went, and every aberrant creature bowed down to her.

Then one day, Xie Zechuan found her.

Xie Zechuan was so powerful he was considered the pinnacle of human evolution.

Rumor had it he was a man of justice who despised aberrant creatures and had sworn to wipe them all out, restoring peace and order to the world.

Shi Nan wholeheartedly agreed: Keep my little tail tucked away, and make sure my secret identity stays hidden.

.

Xie Zechuan found a young woman while out on a mission.

She was clean and pretty, nothing like someone who had survived three years in the apocalypse.

Xie Zechuan had seen this sort of thing many times. She was either an extraordinary evolver or an exceptionally dangerous aberrant creature. Either way, she was definitely hiding a secret identity.

He flirted with her and teased her, trying to make her let her guard down.

Until she rolled around on his bed, clung to him, and kept saying she was hungry, that she wanted to eat, eat, eat, eat!

Xie Zechuan never saw a fox's tail, but those eight pink tentacles sure wrapped around him tightly.

Xie Zechuan puffed himself up like a peacock, deliberately radiating powerful, delicious spiritual energy, and asked her:

“What do you want to eat? Be specific.”

Shi Nan was so tempted that her eyes turned red, and her slick tentacles tightened again and again, but she still couldn't move his powerful body.

She asked in a trembling voice, “Can I bite you once? Just once, okay?”

Xie Zechuan was satisfied. “Help yourself.”

.

The next day,

Shi Nan climbed out of bed, rubbing her sore lower back. Her tentacles were so limp they could barely move.

She burst into tears. “Wasn't Xie Zechuan supposed to hate nonhumans? Those rumors fooled me!”
