Quick Transmigration and Childbirth: The Target is Not Human

Chapter 23 The Tentacle Monster's Runaway Bride

Only after hearing Victor's voice fade into the distance did Xia Yangyang cover her mouth and cough.

Her legs were trembling as she ran to the washbasin.

I stuffed my mouth full of vanilla to get rid of the smell.

She chewed heartily, her lips chafed raw, her face flushed with shame and indignation, like a ripe peach that would burst at the slightest touch.

She had previously been thankful that she hadn't died under Victor's body, which she considered a miracle. Later, the system told her that she was now Victor's slave, and all of Victor's "gifts" to her could become tonics to strengthen her physique.

"Is it because he bullied you that you don't want me anymore?" A trembling, childish voice rang out from behind.

Xia Yangyang's body stiffened abruptly.

She recognized the voice immediately and hurriedly wrapped the tattered cloth around her body, which barely covered her, while also combing her messy hair with her fingers.

Her face flushed red and she turned her head to meet the pair of light-colored eyes staring straight at her from under the pearl and coral bed.

"Ian?" she called softly, walking over to pick up the light blue cloak beside her and putting it on. "What are you doing here?"

If he was hiding under the bed, then he had been there all along?

Did Victor hear everything she and Victor did? From beginning to end?

Xia Yangyang felt ashamed of being a disrespectful mother, but he was only three years old. How could she explain what had just happened to him?

She squatted down in front of him, pretending to be natural, but the tips of her ears were frighteningly hot.

"He just hit you, he hit you for a long time. Is that why you don't want me anymore?" Ian repeated, his lips trembling.

Xia Yangyang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he had taken it as Victor hitting her.

"No, of course not!" Xia Yangyang opened her arms to him. "I never abandoned you, sweetie."

She tried to touch him, but Ian dodged her.

Xia Yangyang's finger froze in mid-air.

Ian's tentacles were hidden under the dark bed, with only his upper body exposed, and his eyes were growing increasingly red.

"Then why did you give birth to me but not raise me? Clownfish have mothers, baby jellyfish have mothers, even baby anemones have mothers, but I don't!!"

If she didn't already know the secret of how the Heart of the Ocean was separated, she would definitely be holding him tightly right now, making up for all her apologies and the love that was missing.

The task is to have children, but the children are the most innocent victims.

But now that she is about to die, she doesn't know whether making up for her maternal love at this time will harm him or love him.

Xia Yangyang withdrew her fingers, her fingertips curling on her knees, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "Ian, I am human, and all the creatures of the ocean hate humans."

From the moment she withdrew her hand, Ian's eyes widened in disbelief.

He broke down emotionally, shouting at the top of his lungs like a small knife: "Yes! That's why I hate humans too, I hate all humans, and the one I hate the most, the most, the most is you!"

Xia Yangyang had anticipated this, and pursed her lips without saying a word.

Ian burst into tears, his tears falling like beads from a broken string. He crawled out from under the bed and ran out of the hall like a little whirlwind.

Halfway through the run, she stopped a short distance away and looked back, her silver curls trembling as she cried.

"You know I hate you, so why do you show up again? Why do you suddenly reappear? Why are you disciplining me? You should have just stayed hidden on your land!"

After shouting that, he ran outside without looking back and disappeared in an instant.

The vast inner hall was completely empty.

Xia Yangyang suddenly didn't understand the meaning of the "Childbirth System" mission. If giving birth to a child could free one from the world, then who would be responsible for the innocent child?

Even if she does return to the present world and restart her life in the future, are these children just data, or did they actually exist?

Isn't it true that her own cowardly survival led to the tragedy of a group of innocent infants?

System: [Host, you don't need to think so much. They came into this world using your body, but they don't belong to you. They are free.]

Xia Yangyang sighed, propped herself up on her knees and was about to stand up when she suddenly caught a glimpse of something transparent out of the corner of her eye.

She frowned, then knelt down and pulled a plastic bag from under the bed.

The contents of the plastic bag were printed with familiar production dates and Fangzheng Chinese characters.

Those are vacuum-sealed beef jerky, small breads, walnut cookies...

Xia Yangyang was breathless when she saw those things. After a long while, she gripped the plastic bag, her knuckles turning white.

Suddenly she dropped what she was holding and ran after Ian in the direction he had gone.

Whether it was something Victor said before leaving, or whether these maids had seen her handle the young monarch well, no one stopped her from running out of the palace.

Ian ran past jellyfish nests, then past kelp thickets, and finally hid in a group of red corals as tall as an adult.

Xia Yangyang chased after them, panting. Seeing the endless expanse of red coral before her, she felt uneasy, but still helped the coral in, calling Ian's name as she went.

The coral reefs are intricate and complex, serving as habitats for many bottom-dwelling creatures. Every now and then, a clownfish, hermit crab, or black and white water snake would dart out, startling Xia Yangyang so much that her face turned pale.

The more afraid she became, the more anxious she was to find Ian, in case there was any danger in this place.

But she couldn't call out to him; the more she called, the farther he ran away.

Following the tracks on the sand, Xia Yangyang squeezed through the winding, narrow gaps and finally saw a small figure curled up in a corner of the red coral, sobbing and wiping away tears.

However, as Xia Yangyang's gaze moved upwards, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"Ian!!" she shouted.

Ian was startled and trembled. He wiped away his tears hastily and tried to run away again, but Xia Yangyang grabbed his shoulder and pulled him into her arms.

Wrapped in a light blue cloak, Ian was unable to see and angrily kicked and punched the tentacles.

Even when the woman was hit, she didn't flinch; instead, she used her unyielding strength to hold him tightly.

She pulled him away, but where was she taking him?!

Why did she have the right to disrupt his entire life the moment she arrived?

Why should I be able to just take him away whenever I want?

Enraged, Ian bared his fangs and bit down on her chest.

The taste of blood filled my mouth.

The woman neither dodged nor avoided him. After a long time, so long that his mouth went numb, a loud "thud" came from outside as a huge object landed heavily.

This startled Ian.

He opened his mouth, and blood trickled down from the corner of his lips.

His light blue cloak was pulled open from the outside by a dirty hand, and he was pulled tightly into her arms, the embrace trembling awkwardly.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay..." Xia Yangyang rested her chin on his forehead. "Ian, don't be afraid."

Ian followed her gaze and saw a giant electric eel, over three meters long, lying on the ground, barely clinging to life, still crackling with electricity.

At that moment, Ian felt as if he had been hit hard by a hammer.

My mind was clear, and the taste of blood in my mouth was deafening.

He watched as she put away a white hammer, her palms nearly charred from the electric shock.

Xia Yangyang had already blocked the system's sense of pain, so when she saw Ian staring blankly, she thought he was frightened.

"Ian?" she called softly.

Ian was called out, and his body trembled. His round, light-colored eyes looked at her tremblingly.
