Hey! Little Tentacle, You're Getting Me All Hot!

[I've found a few too many problems with this one, so I'm putting it on hold for now. Sorry, dears. I'll keep writing once I've honed my skills. I won't abandon it. Apart from quick transmigration, this is my first choice for an apocalypse story.]

A frail human, his dazzling white hair swaying, drifts alone into a certain stretch of sea.

He was looking for the lost pendant, but by a twist of fate, he meets his beloved there.

_

Over the past few decades, many mysterious species have appeared in the world for no apparent reason.

Research has revealed that various creatures and the hybrids bred from them are hugely popular and command high prices.

In the name of benefiting the world, people breed them on a massive scale by any means necessary. This leads to severe environmental pollution and widespread mutations among living things, turning the world upside down.

Human dwellings, the steel behemoths they once took pride in, become unrecognizable ruins.

Ji Ping raised a monster with his own hands, then personally abandoned it in filthy sewage.

Now, his monstrous lover seems able to kill him with just one tentacle.

Ji Ping still wants to live. After weighing his options, he hesitantly asks, "If I say I'm sorry, will you forgive me?"

Jellyfish humanoid test subject No. 962464 smiles. "Scumbag, what do you think?"

Ji Ping: ...Looks like not.

But he has overlooked another possibility. Not forgiving him doesn't necessarily mean taking his life.

The sticky, slippery tentacles are indeed close to smothering him, but his trembling body is overwhelmed by something more than pain...

Reader's Guide:

1. Don't nitpick the logic. Readers with strong top- or bottom-favoring preferences should proceed with caution. The leads may fight each other, even trying to kill one another, but they won't actually take each other's lives.

2. This is a fictional world and a work in which the author lets loose. Don't compare it to reality or judge the world of this book by real-world standards. Anything that doesn't follow natural laws should be taken as the author's own setting.

3. No personal attacks, and no writing advice, please. The characters' values don't represent the author's.

4. Not abandoned.

5. An unconventional apocalypse story (probably).

6. Ji Ping vs. Bai Nianping

7. If you drop the story, no need to tell me. Thanks for reading.

8. The text will be revised frequently.
