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

Chapter 9: We Can't Afford to Support Chen Yuan Anymore

Once the meal is ready, bring the dishes out.

Two dishes and a soup.

A plate of stir-fried green vegetables, vibrant green and steaming hot.

A plate of braised pork, the same pork I got in exchange for that ring yesterday, cut into small pieces.

Yu Wan placed the dishes on the table and served two bowls of rice.

A large bowl was placed in front of where she usually sat.

A small bowl was placed in front of Chen Yuan.

She hadn't had a proper meal in a long time.

The points were spent on the altar, as well as various sacrificial vessels, ancient books, and materials.

Those things are ridiculously expensive; even the most basic sacrificial implements cost over a hundred points.

She spent all the savings Chen Yuan had left her, and took on many odd jobs to barely make up the difference.

As for meals, she's fine with whatever's available.

But it's different now.

Ah-Yuan is back now...

Even if she's just pretending to come back, she still needs to eat properly.

Yu Wan sat down, glanced at Chen Yuan who was slumped over the table, and then at the small spoon.

She hesitated for a moment, then gently placed the spoon next to Chen Yuan's tentacles.

"Ah-Yuan, try and see if you can hold it?"

Chen Yuan looked at the spoon.

It's small, and the handle is a bit thin.

He touched it with the tip of his tentacle and then tried to curl up around it.

Although it was a bit wobbly, with the spoon swaying back and forth in mid-air, it was indeed caught.

Yu Wan looked at it, then picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of braised pork into the small bowl.

Chen Yuan looked at the piece of meat in the bowl.

But he doesn't seem to have a mouth.

He is a tentacle.

How do tentacles eat meat?

Chen Yuan paused for two seconds, then tentatively reached the spoon towards the piece of meat and tried to scoop it up.

As a result, the spoon was at the wrong angle, and the meat slipped out and fell back into the bowl with a "plop".

Yu Wan couldn't help but smile faintly: "Ah Yuan is so silly..."

Chen Yuan: "..."

I tried again, and it wasn't too difficult.

[Energy replenishment +0.5]

[Experience points +0.05]

Although I have no sense of taste and can't taste the braised pork, my body does absorb the nutrients.

Yu Wan watched him finish eating, her eyes curving into crescents.

Yu Wan continued to serve him food.

The small bowl was quickly filled to the brim, almost overflowing.

Chen Yuan looked at her own bowl, then at Yu Wan's bowl.

Her bowl contained only white rice, with two lonely green vegetables lying on top, and not a single piece of minced meat.

He scooped up a piece of meat with a spoon and held it towards Yu Wan's bowl.

Yu Wan was taken aback for a moment: "A-Yuan...?"

Subconscious behavior, just like before...

......

This meal took a long time to finish.

I did replenish some energy, and my experience points also increased a little.

Current experience points: (0.3/299)

Well, we're still a long way from upgrading.

Keep up the good work.

If you have the strength, you can use a pen, or just type it out.

But he was also a little scared...

Will it scare Xiao Yuwan?

.......

After finishing the meal, Yu Wan cleared away the dishes.

She washed the dishes, dried her hands, and went back to the table.

She then took out a hair tie from her pocket, put it in her mouth, and then gathered her long, gray hair with her hands.

The movements were very practiced.

Gather your hair into a bunch, comb it with your fingers, and then remove the hair tie.

Wrap it around and around, and finally tie it into a low ponytail.

After the bandage was tied, she turned her head to the side, revealing her fair neck.

The gray hair is too noticeable; it needs to be hidden.

She looked down at Chen Yuan.

"Ah-Yuan must hide too."

Chen Yuan: "......."

He's going to be stuffed back in, isn't he?

Sure enough, Yu Wan gently lifted him up, and then...

He slipped it inside through the collar.

It's still the same spot.

It's still... so soft, so warm, so fragrant.

Yu Wan stood up, walked to the old, worn-out full-length mirror by the door, and looked at herself.

The person in the mirror had silver hair tied back, revealing a fair neck.

He was wearing that old coat.

It covered the neckline and also the small bulge on the chest.

From the outside, you can't tell anything at all.

"Ah Yuan, be good... we need to go out for a bit."

Chen Yuan lay inside, suddenly feeling a little dazed.

Xiao Yuwan is no longer that young girl...

Ahem... She's already someone's wife.

That's really something; he can actually be awesome about himself!

.......

Yu Wan put on her hood and pushed open the door.

The sunlight outside was a bit too bright, so she squinted and walked towards the meeting point.

We need to get the points first, otherwise we won't be able to afford to raise A-Yuan.

The meeting point is on the edge of the city, near the city gate.

There weren't many people on the road, and only a few hurried passersby occasionally glanced at her.

She kept her head down, her hood covering most of her face, with only her chin showing.

After walking for about twenty minutes, we saw the meeting point in the distance.

It was an open space with a dilapidated sign standing next to it.

Several people were already standing in the open space—three men and one woman, making a total of five people including her.

Yu Wan approached.

The man leading the group was wearing a worn-out combat suit, and a half-naked mech stood beside him.

Chen Yuan also recognized the mecha.

The modified "Hound" model has enhanced armor and firepower compared to the regular model, but it is less stable and requires frequent maintenance.

The man leaned against the mecha, a cigarette between his fingers, puffing out smoke.

The other man was tall and thin, carrying two long knives on his back and a pistol at his waist.

He stood to the side, arms crossed, sizing up Yu Wan as she approached.

The third man was very young, looking to be in his early twenties, and was wearing the standard combat uniform issued by the Alliance.

He was holding a tablet and looking down at something.

There was another woman.

She leaned against a dilapidated SUV, wearing a tight-fitting combat suit that accentuated her beautiful figure.

Yu Wan walked up to them and stopped.

The leader asked in a hoarse voice, "Name?"

"Yu Wan".

The man nodded and exhaled a puff of smoke: "My name is Lao Zhou, a level two hunter, and I'm leading the team this time."

He pointed to the others.

"The tall, thin one is called A Dao. He used to be in the Alliance patrol team and has three years of wilderness experience."

A Dao Chong Yu Wan nodded, without much expression.

"That kid's name is Xiao Chen. He's a new recruit, and this is his first time leaving the city. He's just here to gain experience."

Xiao Chen looked up, smiled nervously at Yu Wan, and said, "You... hello."

"That woman's name is A-Qing, she's a Hunter, Level 1."

Ah-Qing—the short-haired woman looked Yu Wan up and down, then raised an eyebrow.

After introducing himself, Old Zhou looked at Yu Wan and asked, "And you? What's your profession? What's your level?"

Yu Wan paused for a second, then spoke in a calm voice: "Yu Wan, Alliance Level 2 Engineer."

Hearing this, A-Qing couldn't help but ask, "An engineer? What are you doing here?"
