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

It continued until almost dawn.

The moonlight had moved away from the window, leaving only deep darkness in the room.

Chen Yuan lay on Yu Wan's chest.

Then he took a big, sharp drag with a puff.

It wasn't about being greedy for those experience points; it was about confirming her reaction one last time.

There was no response. Yu Wan didn't even frown. She simply turned over gently, draping her arm over the pillow, revealing a large empty space on the bed.

It seems she's sleeping soundly.

Chen Yuan carefully pulled the small tentacle out of her collar.

When the suction cup detaches from the skin, it makes a soft "pop" sound.

The little tentacle slid off the bed and landed on the cold floor, its tip shrinking slightly from the cold.

He continued to stagger towards the bedroom door and then into the living room.

I climbed onto the sofa and sprawled out on the cushions.

Start bringing up the panel.

Current experience points: (4,356/599)

Upgrade opportunities: 2

LV.5 – One big step closer to unlocking LV.10 Mimicry.

The tips of his tentacles involuntarily curled up.

[Start upgrading - LV.3 → LV.4]

Please select the upgrade feature:

[Option 1: Thorns Enchantment] Fine barbs grow on the surface of the tentacles, which can cause continuous damage to the target that comes into contact with them.

Appearance: The deep purple color deepens to a purplish-black, and the barbs turn a dark gold color.

After Chen Yuan finished reading the first option, the tip of his tentacle twitched slightly.

No, no.

This is unacceptable. Not only is it too ugly, but Yu Wan wouldn't be able to stand it either.

He imagined himself covered in barbs...

How can I still lie on her chest? How can she still rub against me? How can I still enter...the warm little room?

[Option 2: Might Enhancement] Volume +50%, Strength +100%. Appearance: Increases volume, color remains dark purple.

Getting bigger and thicker, sounds good.

But he hesitated for a moment and didn't choose immediately. He looked down.

[Option 3: Regeneration] Unlocks the passive skill "Minor Self-Healing," which allows for the slow recovery of damaged tissue and increases the speed of limb regeneration. Appearance: No change.

Chen Yuan stared at the word "regeneration," recalling the tentacle that had been torn off by Yalong outside the city earlier that day.

Although it eventually grew back, he didn't want to experience that feeling of "missing a part of his body" a second time.

Choose this one.

He selected [Option 3: Regeneration].

A warm sensation welled up from deep within my body, just like when I leveled up before.

The numbers on the panel also changed.

[Upgrade Complete - Current Level: LV.4]

[Current experience points: (3,757/2599) - Can continue to level up]

Chen Yuan did not stop.

[Start upgrading - LV.4 → LV.5]

Please select the upgrade feature:

【Option 1: Thorns Enchantment (Advanced)】Dense barbs grow on the surface of the tentacles, dealing moderate damage to targets that come into contact with them. Appearance: Purplish-black, with dark gold barbs.

Chen Yuan skipped this part.

[Option 2: Might Enhancement (Advanced)] Stamina +300%, Strength +400%

Appearance: Increased in size, but retains its deep purple color.

His tentacle tip moved toward option two, then hesitated.

It's actually +300% energy! This must have made Xiao Yuwan beg for mercy.

There is one more option below.

[Option 3: Fixed Form Transformation - Shadow] Can briefly transform into a shadow form, ignoring physical contact and blending into the shadows.

Appearance: When it changes, it appears as a black phantom, but it is still in the form of tentacles.

Chen Yuan stared at the six words "fixed form change".

Variations....

This was the first time he had seen an option related to "form".

Although the description did not mention "mimicry," the word "change" stirred something within him.

He hesitated for a while.

Option two is indeed very tempting, with +400% strength and +300% stamina, which sounds like a very powerful weapon.

But the "shadow" option is appearing for the first time, and it's related to "shape change." What if... it's related to mimicry?

Choose three.

He selected [Option 3: Fixed Form Change - Shadow].

A warm sensation surged forth again, but this time it was different from before.

It's not the feeling of soaking in warm water, it's more like... your body is melting.

He looked down at himself.

The deep purple tentacles began to turn black, their outlines became blurred, and their edges began to fade.

Like a drop of ink falling into water, it slowly spreads out.

On a whim, he leaned back.

Sure enough, half of his body blended directly into the shadow of the wall, and from the outside, it was impossible to tell that there was something hidden inside.

But only a few seconds later, he returned to his original form.

The tiny tentacles, now limp and lifeless, lay sprawled on the sofa.

That feeling of being "emptied out" surged up again, even more intensely than when I was in bed earlier.

He stared at the ceiling for a while before slowly getting up.

It seems that this form is very energy-consuming.

But he wanted to try something else.

For example, if the description says "ignores physical contact," does that mean he can pass through walls to the other side?

However, at that moment, the sound of the bedroom door opening came from inside.

Chen Yuan quickly curled up into a ball, slumped on the sofa, the tips of his tentacles drooping down, and closed his eyes.

Pretending to be asleep.

He was sleepwalking; nothing happened.

Yu Wan walked out of the bedroom, her bare feet stepping on the cold floor.

She sniffled, her eyes still glazed over, not fully awake.

Her long, silvery-white hair was disheveled, one button on her shirt was fastened incorrectly, and the collar was crooked, revealing a section of her collarbone and a white gauze.

She walked to the sofa and looked down at the small tentacles lying on it.

"Ah-Yuan," her voice was hoarse, still groggy from just waking up, "it's cold outside, why did you run out..."

Chen Yuan remained motionless.

Yu Wan bent down and gently lifted him off the sofa.

The little tentacles lay limply in her palm, their tips drooping, as if to say, "I'm still sleeping and don't know anything."

Yu Wan pressed her face against his, rubbed against him, and then turned and walked towards the bedroom.

She walked very slowly, shaking her little head as she went, as if trying to clear her head.

"No," she said softly, her voice muffled, "A-Yuan is mine, and she can only stay by my side..."

"You can't run around like that."

Chen Yuan lay in her palm, and the tip of her tentacle twitched slightly.

Thankfully, they didn't press her for details; she looked so confused that she couldn't even speak clearly.

When it was fully light the next day, she probably thought it was a dream.

Yu Wan returned to the bedside, lay down, and pulled the blanket up to cover both of them.

Then she turned over, lay on her side, and pulled Chen Yuan into her arms.

"Ah Yuan, be good," she whispered, her voice growing softer and softer, "go to sleep..."

His breathing gradually calmed down.

She fell asleep again.
