Tentacle Monster Conquest Manual

The soft, stable, and continuous light began to change, suddenly bursting into a dazzling light, and then withering and dissipating at an even faster speed, revealing the appearance of the boy inside. The first thing that appeared in the field of vision was a bare foot.

Then came the calves, knees, hands, arms... After the limbs appeared, the chest and the boy's face came last.

Mu Xiaoxiao opened her eyes. "What just happened to me? It feels like I took a nap... um?"

Sensing something was wrong, he first scratched his hands, then raised his arms. "Huh? Hands?!"

He was used to having tentacles, but now he saw human hands on his own body. Experiencing the feeling of hands for the first time in a long time, Mu Xiaoxiao couldn't hide her shock. "Human hands have evolved? Even feet..."

Barefoot on the ground, Mu Xiaoxiao looked down at her new body, dumbfounded. From her feet to her body, there was no trace of the tentacle monster; she was completely human, including between her legs…

"Cough cough!"

A long-lost sense of human shame welled up inside Mu Xiaoxiao, and she quickly covered her legs. Then she realized that there was no one else there except for Saya, who was clueless about this kind of thing. She felt helpless and asked, "Saya, is there a mirror here?"

He suddenly wanted to see what he looked like now.

There really was a mirror in the warehouse. Saya huffed and puffed as she carried it over. Mu Xiaoxiao didn't even have time to think about her evolved attributes and new skills. She rushed to the mirror, looked at herself, and touched her face.

"I was worried that I would evolve into some strange creature, but it seems..." The surprise came too suddenly. Mu Xiaoxiao murmured to herself. Compared with her previous self, perhaps only her face hadn't changed. Her pupils were still bright red like blood.

Her body had completely transformed into a human form. Of course, Mu Xiaoxiao discovered that she could change back to her previous form at any time.

"My face hasn't changed, but why do I feel like I look quite different from before?" Mu Xiaoxiao frowned. "I guess I'd call myself a little handsome like this."

She posed in front of the mirror in various JoJo poses, thankfully it was only Saya, otherwise she would definitely be seen as a pervert. After admiring her enough, Mu Xiaoxiao turned her attention to her own attributes.

Strength: B→A

Durability: A

Agility: C→A

Magic: D→C

"A complete upgrade?" Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she clenched her fist. "No wonder I feel like I have inexhaustible strength..."

There is only one skill.

【？？？】：As you continue to grow, it seems you're being watched by some mysterious entity.

"???"

Mu Xiaoxiao's head was full of question marks, just like this skill. "What? What kind of skill is this? And am I being targeted?"

A chill ran down his spine. He looked around nervously. I should have been very careful, and I hadn't done anything earth-shattering. How did I offend some mysterious big shot? I should be okay, right?

That said, can this really be called a skill?

----------

Akihabara in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, is bustling with noise and crowds, from maids soliciting customers in front of restaurants to otaku crowding around gashapon machines, and men and women in various cosplay outfits.

Of course, besides these, there are also many ordinary office workers and couples.

The maid who was soliciting customers suddenly had her eyes light up. A young boy not far away caught her attention, so she quickly went up to him and struck up a conversation, "Hello, would you be interested in experiencing a maid cafe?"

Mu Xiaoxiao, who was walking along the roadside admiring Japanese otaku culture, paused in his steps. He looked at the young lady staring straight at him and his expression twitched. He had been hit on several times along the way, and even now he could still feel several pairs of eyes looking at him.

A sigh escaped her lips, "Now I can finally understand how Rena feels..."

Back then, I was a tentacle monster who dared not show myself, but after experiencing so much, I've become popular.

My feelings are quite complicated.

His clothes were quite ordinary, but the [mysterious factor] had already seeped into every aspect of Mu Xiaoxiao's body. That unique aura would probably leave not only these girls, but even Ling Nai and the others stunned for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time right now."

He's quite interested in maid cafes, but he doesn't have time right now.

"Eh? Is that so? What a pity," the maid said reluctantly. She stared at Mu Xiaoxiao's face for a long time, as if she was struggling with something. Then, she gritted her teeth, took out her phone, and said in a low voice with a blush, "Um, if you don't mind, could we exchange contact information?"

Mu Xiaoxiao: "..."

I've become a succubus, haven't I?

Chapter 116 Blushing

"Sigh, it really is a world that judges people by their appearance."

Mu Xiaoxiao eventually left her contact information, not an email address, but a Line number, and added the maid as a friend. After all, the maid was quite pretty. Emmm, this really is a world that judges by appearance.

It might sound a bit like Versailles; being too popular can be troublesome. Besides, I'm not at the point where I can just snap my fingers and take a girl to a love hotel. Moreover, I have the ability to control people's minds, so if I go too far... well, the more I think about it, the worse it gets.

Mu Xiaoxiao strolled around Akihabara for a while, enjoying the sense of freedom that her body now brought her. She no longer had to hide in a dark and gloomy room every day, or only be able to go out at night. She also no longer had to wear that large robe and worry about her tentacles being seen by others.

Emmm, only Saya, poor Saya is just like my former self.

As Mu Xiaoxiao pondered this, she slowly walked to the vicinity of a private girls' school, stopped by a telephone pole and gazed into the distance, "A private girls' school? Nishikino Ruifei's junior high school is here? No wonder she's a young lady."

The presence of a suspicious-looking person at the school gate would attract the attention of the teachers, especially at a private elite school like this. However, perhaps due to Mu Xiaoxiao's charm, or perhaps because his appearance was not particularly sleazy, the teachers did not approach him for questioning.

It was right after school, and the middle school girls in their uniforms stared wide-eyed at Mu Xiaoxiao with curiosity. Some of them blushed and acted coy as they joked around with their friends.

The girls at the girls' school rarely see any boys, so the appearance of such a... eye-catching boy was like a lamb entering a wolf's den, something Mu Xiaoxiao deeply understood.

However, before these girls could approach her, Mu Xiaoxiao's target appeared. Suddenly, a lone figure appeared among the group of middle school girls walking together. It was Nishikino Maki.

The girl, with her thin shoulders carrying a schoolbag, walked alone on the main road of the school. Her mood was somewhat heavy, not because she had no friends and felt envious when she saw others playing and chatting, but because of the changes in her family.

Although she didn't harbor much resentment towards her mother because of her hostility towards Mu Xiaoxiao, the shocking scene that day still greatly shocked Maki's young mind. She still couldn't forget that scene, the scene of that guy kissing her mother... It would appear in her mind from time to time, making Nishikino Maki bite her cherry lips.

"Good afternoon, Maki-san."

Looking up, Maki Nishikino saw the smiling boy waving at her and was stunned. She exclaimed, "It's you?!"

Although Mu Xiaoxiao had changed a lot, the girl still recognized her at a glance. What puzzled Nishikino Maki was that this guy had only changed his clothes, so why did he change so much... Could it be because his cloak and robe were a bit like cosplay?

Now that he's changed into a normal T-shirt, he actually looks quite handsome... Nishikino Maki's face flushed red, then turned pale. No, what am I thinking? Handsome and all that... This guy is the enemy!

"What's wrong? Your face is turning red and then pale. Are you feeling unwell?" Mu Xiaoxiao walked up to the girl.

Maki struggled to look away, afraid that if she looked at him any longer, she would have strange thoughts again. "You, this has nothing to do with you... I'm perfectly healthy, what are you doing here?"

"I've come to pick you up. Your mother really hopes we can get along well."

"...Who wants to get along with you?"

Mu Xiaoxiao took it as her being arrogant, "But I just saw you come out alone... your lonely figure looked quite pitiful, don't you have any friends at school?"

"It doesn't matter whether I have friends or not, I'm used to it."

Glancing at the girl's calm face, Mu Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Is that so? I feel a little sorry for you saying that. Don't you want friends?"

"..."

Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly placed her hand on the girl's head, touching Maki's smooth red hair. "If you don't mind, I can be your friend. We're about the same age."

This is also what Mrs. Nishikino wanted.

When Nishikino Maki was patted on the head for the first time, she was stunned. Her father had never patted her head like that before, but this boy beside her... The girl couldn't help but lift her eyelids, her eyelashes fluttering, looking at the boy's almost perfect face and the smile on his face.

And then there's the pleasant scent emanating from her, like some kind of special fragrance, and her near-perfect body proportions—didn't you see the girls around her already gasping in amazement? The girls at the girls' school, who usually treated Nishikino Maki like she was invisible, now had all their intense gazes focused on her.

She wondered what the relationship was between Nishikino and that mysterious, handsome boy.

Maki Nishikino no longer paid attention to her surroundings. She stared blankly at Mu Xiaoxiao's face for a long time before belatedly coming to her senses. Her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head and kept reminding herself that the person in front of her was an enemy, a villain who had destroyed her family.

However, the pounding in her chest just wouldn't stop, and the turmoil in her heart wouldn't subside. Maki quietly clenched her fists.

She knew that the family's problems weren't his fault, nor her mother's. Even without him, her father wouldn't have come back; he was keeping another woman outside.

Maki is not unreasonable; she simply refuses to accept the truth.

Of course, that kiss between the guy and his mom was real too!!! With such a big age gap, how could you do something like that?!

"Is this how you are, trying to please your mother?" Nishikino Maki said in a barely audible voice.

Most people wouldn't be able to hear it, but Mu Xiaoxiao was different. He heard it very clearly, his eyes widening. "Huh?"

Snapped!

Nishikino Maki brushed his hand away, her tone a mix of anger and something else, and said through gritted teeth, "So this is how you hooked up with Mom, huh? You pretty boy."

"Huh...what?"

"Is this how you usually seduce Mom? Using your face and body to please her? What a slut! No wonder Mom is so infatuated with you, shameless!!"

Mu Xiaoxiao almost knelt down before her, "No way, you really think I'm your mom's kept man? Nishikino Maki, you're really... damn it!"

He was so angry he was trembling.

Mu Xiaoxiao swore that she had never been so humiliated before.

“There’s a reason you don’t have any friends… I didn’t realize you were so sharp-tongued. Also, my relationship with your mom—” Mu Xiaoxiao rubbed her temples, “is not what you think.”

"Otherwise, why would you listen to her and come talk to me?"

call--

“You’ve got it wrong. My friendship with you isn’t just because of Mrs. Ruifei. It’s also my own feeling. After all… after what happened, seeing you so heartbroken, Maki, made me feel a little sorry for you.”

Why does this person always say such ambiguous things, like feeling sorry for someone...? Nishikino Maki's heart was beating faster and faster, and her thoughts were starting to get chaotic.

He was unable to speak.

Chapter 117 A Man Who Went Completely Crazy

"I am back."

"Welcome back, Maki, go wash your hands and then... wait? Where's Xiaoxiao? Didn't he come with you?"

Nishikino Maki changed into cute panda slippers and looked at her mother's craning head. "He said he had something else to do and left."

"Can't you stay for dinner instead of leaving? Maki, why didn't you ask him to stay?"

Maki didn't respond to her mother's mutterings. She put her schoolbag on the chair and looked into the shopping bag on the table. She found that it contained a lot of ingredients, vegetables, fruits and frozen meat from the supermarket. Was she going to make a big meal?

Maki Nishikino glanced discreetly at her mother's slender back, thinking of the boy who had recently shocked her. Maki sighed silently in her heart, realizing that Mu Xiaoxiao had left an even deeper impression on her.

It seems impossible to erase it now.

It wasn't because of his appearance, although that was part of the reason. More importantly, it was because of what he said. "It should be the truth, not just sweet talk. Although he looks like the kind of guy who's good at flirting with girls, he should be telling the truth."

At this moment, Maki Nishikino was in a state of confusion. She was very angry that Mu Xiaoxiao was hooking up with her mother, but she was also flustered by his appearance. Maki did not know whether she should continue to be hostile to him or become friends as he suggested.

He's already like that with his mother, and he still has the nerve to say he's friends with me? Humph, that's really too much.
