About how my wife resurrected me as tentacles after my death.

Inside the bathroom...

The helpless little tentacles can only be manipulated at will.

Yu Wan's fingers slowly slid from the base of the tentacle to its tip, and then circled back from the tip.

The shower gel foam was slippery, and so were her fingers.

Chen Yuan: "Pfft pfft pfft..."

His entire tentacle fell stiffly back into the water, splashing up a small spray.

This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!

He used to be the one to grope her, "punishing" her until she couldn't even speak. Now, he's reduced to being the object of her wanton manipulation...

So he was just about to get bigger and thicker, and then punish her severely.

But... never mind.

Chen Yuan silently gave up the idea of ​​growing bigger.

His entire tentacle went limp comfortably, lying flat on the water's surface, even the pointed tip drooping down.

What's the point of life anyway? Let's just let her go today...

.......

Yu Wan also felt the small tentacle in her palm suddenly go soft.

It stopped hardening and just lay there limply.

"Why did it go soft..." she whispered, a hint of disappointment in her voice, and rubbed her face against him.

"Is Ah-Yuan not going to continue?"

Chen Yuan lay motionless in her palm, ignoring her completely.

In the past, he would have said to her, "How come you're 'happy' so quickly...?"

This is really going against the grain.

Once it gets bigger and thicker, it'll inevitably get... a few rounds of "training"...

.......

"Alright, alright," Yu Wan chuckled softly when she saw that he really wasn't moving anymore, and poked the tip of his tentacle with her finger.

"Ah-Yuan is the best, okay?"

Chen Yuan still ignored her.

Yu Wan poked it again.

"Ah Yuan?"

Seeing his "I'm angry but I won't say it" attitude, she laughed even harder.

They pulled Chen Yuan out of the water, gently wrapped her in the small towel, and carefully dried her...

.......

After taking a shower, Yu Wan carried Chen Yuan out of the bathroom.

The room was dark, with only a sliver of moonlight filtering in from the window. The silvery light fell on the floor, the bed, and her wet hair.

Yu Wan placed Chen Yuan on the pillow, then went to blow-dry her hair.

The hairdryer was humming as she looked at herself in the mirror.

She had long, silvery-white hair, scarlet eyes, and a face that was much thinner than before.

She looked at it for a few seconds, then turned off the hairdryer and went back to the bedside.

"Go to bed early tonight," she said softly, gently lifting Chen Yuan from the pillow. "We need to go out early tomorrow..."

Chen Yuan raised the tip of her tentacle: "Puji puji (Where to?)"

Yu Wan tucked him into her collar and put him back in that familiar spot.

"I'm going to the black market tomorrow," she whispered, lying down and pulling the blanket up to her chin.

Today's events have shown her...

Those ritual objects used to worship evil gods in the basement, those skulls, and the offerings, all need to be disposed of as soon as possible.

But since they couldn't be taken out of the city, they could only be sold on the black market.

"Ah-Yuan, come with me."

She spoke softly, then leaned down and kissed him again.

[Experience points +0.5]

Goodnight, A-Yuan... I love you.

Things I used to blush and refuse to say, I now feel like I can never say enough...

.......

It went on until midnight.

Moonlight streamed in through the small window and fell onto the bed.

Chen Yuan extended a small tentacle from Yu Wan's collar, the moonlight shining on his deep purple body.

He waited a while longer to make sure she was fast asleep.

Then.....

It's time to get down to business.

With a "plop," he quietly took a puff.

[Experience points +3]

[Congratulations! Your experience points are full, you can level up!]

Chen Yuan looked at the flashing button on the panel.

[Upgrading...]

[Host's current form has been detected as "Enhanced Tentacle (LV.2)". Upgrade path is as follows:]

【Path 1: Shadow Tentacle】

Please select the upgrade path.

Chen Yuan looked at the two paths.

What's the use of being black?

Hmm... it needs to get bigger and thicker.

Without hesitation, he selected [Path Two: Giant Tentacle].

[Upgrade Begins—]

A familiar feeling welled up from deep within my body.

His body began to grow larger.

She used to be only as thick as a wrist, but now she's almost as thick as Yu Wan's waist.

It's huge... It definitely won't fit.

He meant the bed couldn't hold him, nothing else...

......

Chen Yuan continued to look at her new body with satisfaction.

Then, with a thought, his body shrank rapidly, turning back into that tiny tentacle.

It would be good if it could turn back.

I usually keep it in the shape of small tentacles so as not to scare her.

When in danger, it grows larger with a "biu" sound, transforming into a giant tentacle.

Chen Yuan felt that his character setting was very reasonable.

He then looked at the new information on the panel:

.......

Chen Yuan had quietly grown a little bit bigger, only about the thickness of an arm. Then he gently reached out and wrapped his arms around Yu Wan's waist.

Just like before, when he reached out and put his arm around her waist.

Yu Wan murmured "hmm" softly in her sleep, her body shifting slightly, but she didn't wake up.

She instinctively moved closer to that warmth, burying herself deeper into the blankets...
