Tianjia: Little Tentacle Monster Mu Si 7

◎Once the eggs are born, the reproductive cavity belongs to me to live in◎

X: “I have never despised you because you are a tentacle monster.”

If he truly despised Mu Si for being a tentacle monster, how could he have kept him by his side and cared for him meticulously for so many years?

How could he have accompanied him through that chaotic week after he matured, conceiving a belly full of eggs for him?

He simply had to be responsible for the other soldiers on the warship, responsible for other lives in the universe.

And responsible for Mu Si’s safety.

X embraced the tentacles in front of him, attempting to soothe the agitated tentacle monster.

“You will be much safer staying here.”

As long as Mu Si stayed on his private planet, he could protect him forever.

No anti-tentacle monster faction could bypass him to harm Mu Si.

Other nations across the universe would also refrain from moving against Mu Si out of fear of his deterrence.

Yet if Mu Si left his protection and appeared before the public, he would inevitably be attacked by all.

Tentacle monsters were the public enemy of the universe.

Especially an adult tentacle monster possessing such terrifying reproductive capability; no faction would allow it to live.

Coincidentally, he had only reached adulthood recently, with very few gestators and offspring, making it the easiest time to eliminate him.

Leaving him here was both a restriction and a shield.

From the moment X brought the little tentacle monster to his private planet, he had bound the little tentacle monster’s life together with his own.

“Won’t listen, won’t listen! You just despise me, you don’t love me anymore!”

Mu Si could not take in any words right now.

He only knew that X wanted to abandon him on this planet and leave him behind forever.

He absolutely could not let such a thing happen; he had to keep X here.

Mu Si extended his tentacles, dragging X over and coiling around him tightly.

This was still not enough.

X could break free and leave at any moment.

He could not beat X in a fight, and forcibly tangling with him might result in being torn apart.

He had to use another method to keep him behind.

X was abandoning him only because he did not love him.

He had to make X love him even more.

Recalling the methods to increase love from movies, Mu Si tore open X’s crisp military uniform and opened him up.

“Wait, Si Si!”

X’s expression was panicked. While pushing against the tentacles probing into the depths, he looked up in flustered alarm at the transparent crystal glass walls.

The little tentacle monster loved sparkling glass jars, so he had built such a crystal glass house for him.

Yet he never imagined that in such an entirely transparent house, he would be opened up and claimed by the little tentacle monster.

X wanted to lower the house’s transparency.

However, the little tentacle monster’s movements were far too fierce, and the surrounding pheromones were too sweet, making it difficult for him to gather his thoughts.

He could not even speak a complete sentence, let alone accurately deliver the voice command.

Through the completely transparent crystal glass, X gazed at the azure sky and drifting clouds above.

With an SSS-grade Tianjia’s superior vision and sensory perception, he could even see the spaceships hovering above the firmament, sensing small shuttles shuttling between the vessels.

This feeling of being completely unshielded and easily peeped upon filled X with shame and unease.

He subconsciously pressed closer to the abundant tentacles surging beside him, seeking cover.

Yet the tentacles were transparent as well.

He clearly could not obtain any effective concealment.

From the sun hanging high to the stars scattering across the sky.

X was filled with a belly full of fluid.

Mu Si did not lay any more eggs inside X’s body.

Yet this did not stop him from striving to secrete the fluid gestators loved, filling every place on X’s body that could possibly be filled.

“Do you love me more now?”

Mu Si wrapped around X, whose eyes were glazed over, and asked.

X had long been doused by excessive pheromones until his mind was completely muddled, unable to respond in time.

Seeing that he did not answer, Mu Si felt a bit aggrieved. Assuming the effect had not been achieved, he prepared to continue.

Sensing the change, X snapped awake in alarm and hurriedly said:

“Love! Love! Si Si, I love you very much, love you especially! Stop quickly!”

Only then was Mu Si satisfied, nuzzling against him happily as he asked:

“Then, will you stay with me forever?”

X: “…”

X could not give a promise.

The tentacle hovering before his face tried to burrow into his mouth again.

Having already been fed a belly full of fluid, X truly could not take any more. He hurriedly turned his head aside to dodge it, speaking quickly:

“Si Si, of course I will be with you forever. I only leave occasionally for work, and I will come back to accompany you as soon as work is done. Just like before, only the time apart might be slightly longer.”

X explained in terms the little tentacle monster could understand as much as possible.

“I need to work so I can provide for you, can you understand?”

Mu Si could understand, but he was already an adult, capable of hunting on his own without needing the feeder’s provisions so much.

“I can hunt on my own, and I can provide for you too.”

Mu Si touched X’s slightly swollen belly, the tip of his tentacle gliding over the abdominal muscles that were stretched taut.

He thought to himself that Tianjia were quite easy to keep, very easily fed full.

X was unaware of Mu Si’s thoughts.

He imagined the little tentacle monster working hard to hunt and support him. He felt touched, but still thought better of it.

“I am a Tianjia. Only female Tianjia care for males; there is no reason to let males support the household.”

“But I’m not a male either,” Mu Si muttered under his breath.

Tentacle monsters had no distinction of gender.

They were asexual creatures, or could even be called hermaphroditic if one insisted.

They laid eggs into the bodies of other creatures, letting other creatures carry and bear offspring for them, assisting their reproduction.

Mu Si did not dwell on this topic for long.

X was a female Tianjia, and regarding him as his male was a good thing, signifying that X would take responsibility for him.

“And you still said you didn’t want to be my Female Master.”

Mu Si rubbed against X in utter delight.

“…”

X covered his face in shame.

In the beginning, he truly had never thought about becoming the little tentacle’s Female Master.

Developing into this state in the end was something he had never anticipated.

What brought him the most shame was that he had grown fond of hearing this form of address from the little tentacle monster.

Calling him Female Master.

Just hearing this title caused an indescribable fullness and satisfaction to rise within X’s chest.

He wanted to knead the little tentacle monster into his embrace, showering it with all his tenderness and love.

Just as he was willing to serve as the little tentacle monster’s gestator.

The little tentacle monster had also acknowledged his identity from the perspective of his own societal relationships.

X embraced the tentacles in front of him tightly.

He wanted to lay eggs with the little tentacle monster for a lifetime, bearing many, many of them.

Serving as the little tentacle monster’s gestator, conceiving again right after giving birth, with his belly never going down, perpetually carrying the little tentacle monster’s eggs.

Sensing X’s thoughts, Mu Si was so frightened he almost swallowed his own tentacle.

Although gestators were meant to carry eggs and give birth continuously for tentacle monsters, still… still…

Mu Si felt offspring were not that important.

Tentacle monsters reproduced continuously primarily to make themselves stronger, letting offspring provide for them.

Mu Si was a unique tentacle monster; he had a keeper feeding him.

X would provide for him, protect him, and look after him.

As long as X stayed by his side, he felt very safe, with no need for more offspring.

Suddenly reaching adulthood earlier and filling X’s reproductive cavity with eggs had mainly been provoked by the dangerous, chaotic environment of the star-war game.

Once everything stabilized, Mu Si’s reproductive drive receded.

He even somewhat regretted stuffing X’s reproductive cavity so full, because now he could not squeeze inside himself.

He had lost his favorite warm cradle.

Mu Si chewed on the tip of his tentacle in conflict.

Hesitating on how to suggest to X that he carry fewer eggs in the future, leaving the reproductive cavity empty for him to live in.

Ultimately, Mu Si coiled around X and asked:

“Between the cubs and me, who do you love more?”

“Love you, of course.”

This was not a question that required hesitation.

X would naturally love his cubs.

Because those were the children of him and the little tentacle monster, the extension of their love.

His love for the little tentacle monster would project onto the cubs through bloodline.

Yet if speaking of who he loved most…

X pulled out the tentacle whose tip had been half-swallowed by the little tentacle monster’s body, placing a kiss upon its tip.

…However, why was a piece missing from its tip?

X wondered in confusion.

He never imagined the little tentacle monster would nibble on itself while conflicted, assuming it had bumped or scraped against something, which pained his heart.

Tentacle monsters could regenerate severed limbs and did not care about such minor loss at all.

Seeing X kiss the tip of his tentacle, Mu Si assumed he was hungry again.

Thus he instantly repaired the tentacle and stuffed it into X’s mouth, happily poking around to feed X fruit juice.

Hehehe, X loved him more.

Once the cubs were born, he would toss them out, and the reproductive cavity would belong to him to live in.

Tentacle monsters reproduced continuously, yet held very limited love for individual offspring; offspring were merely tools used to strengthen themselves.

That meager trace of love and reproductive instinct kept Mu Si from directly scooping the eggs out of the reproductive cavity, willing to wait until their birth.

X was a Tianjia, requiring a six-month gestation for eggs, a relatively long pregnancy.

Yet Mu Si’s rapidly reproducing tentacle monster bloodline cut the gestation period in half.

The eggs inside X’s belly only needed three months to be laid.

After soothing the little tentacle monster, X finally had time to scan his abdomen, checking the condition inside his reproductive cavity.

There were six eggs in total inside the reproductive cavity.

Even having mentally prepared himself, seeing this quantity still caused X’s mind to go blank for an instant.

Tianjia reproduction was difficult; plenty of Tianjia went centuries without conceiving an egg.

The little tentacle monster tangled with him for a week, and then stuffed six eggs into his reproductive cavity.

Had it not occupied all available space to where nothing else could fit, X suspected the number could have been even higher.

It was difficult for X to imagine his reproductive cavity holding so many eggs.

Imagining what it would look like once all these eggs developed and grew… he could not picture it, though his belly would probably become very large.

X measured his abdomen with his hands, not overly worried.

A Tianjia’s physique was formidable; carrying six eggs would not impose too much strain on him.

Even if all these eggs grew to the normal size of Tianjia eggs, becoming too large to fit, he could revert to his original form.

Truth be told, his true form was slightly larger than the little tentacle monster… much larger.

As large as the entire estate.

X had no desire to reveal his true form before the little tentacle monster.

Female Tianjia never wished to reveal their true forms before males; males were fragile, easily frightened.

Even if the little tentacle monster did not strictly count as a Tianjia male.

Yet in X’s eyes, he was even more fragile than a Tianjia male.

He was a little lump of jelly that could be startled by a water cup he shattered himself.

The corners of X’s lips curled into a faint smile subconsciously.

“What interesting thing are you looking at? Let me see too.”

An oversized mass of jelly swept in from behind X, enveloping him.

“Mm… a black and white movie? Oh, it’s just eggs.”

Mu Si poked the image of the eggs on the virtual screen, losing interest instantly, and shifted to saying:

“Your reproductive cavity is very cute!”

X was covered in question marks.

What kind of unique compliment was this?

Tianjia always found it difficult to understand the thought process of tentacle monsters.

Pondering for a long while, X gave up trying to understand.

“What will they look like when they are born?” X asked.

“Just eggs, big white eggs.”

Mu Si inspected closely, then added:

“They might also be patterned eggs.”

X also noticed the patterns on the eggs.

They looked very much like Tianjia energy crests.

These eggs resembled miniature versions of Tianjia eggs.

Five with patterns, one solid color.

Precisely corresponding to female and male Tianjia eggs.

There were no features related to tentacle monsters whatsoever.

“When they hatch, will they be tentacle monsters?” X asked.

“They will carry a little tentacle monster bloodline, but their appearance will lean more toward Tianjia,” Mu Si said.

When reproducing with gestators of other races, tentacle monsters would fuse as much of the gestator’s superior genetics as possible.

The stronger the gestator, the more racial traits of the gestator the reproduced offspring would carry.

An SSS-grade Tianjia’s strength was beyond doubt.

The Tianjia bloodline in these offspring would definitely exceed fifty percent.

Tianjia would become their dominant bloodline, and their appearance would closely approximate Tianjia.

X nodded.

If these cubs leaned more toward Tianjia, he could arrange lawful, legitimate identities for them, letting them enter the Interstellar Federation to study and live.

Of course, this also depended on the little tentacle monster’s wishes.

Tentacle monsters generally did not allow offspring to leave them.

Offspring had to remain by the tentacle monster’s side their entire lives, providing for it, attending to it, and waging war for it until death.

X tentatively inquired about the little tentacle monster’s thoughts.

“When the cubs grow up, letting them leave the planet to work elsewhere can also support you.”

X expressed this using descriptions that approximated a tentacle monster’s societal model as much as possible.

Toward X’s proposal, Mu Si raised both hands… raised twelve tentacles in total agreement!

“Let them leave early to work and share your burden, then you can accompany me more!

“No need to wait until adulthood, make them go work as soon as they hatch!”

X was dumbfounded.

“…Th-that is unnecessary, they still need to be older.”

X wiped away nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead.

He had thought the little tentacle would be unwilling to let the offspring leave, never expecting this kind of development.

Sending newly hatched cubs out to work…

He was practically sweating bullets.

X had to explain that hiring child labor was against the law, only then quelling the little tentacle monster’s urge to kick out the newly hatched cubs.

Mu Si still felt a bit regretful.

“Fine, let them leave after they reach adulthood.

“However, the moment the eggs are born, your reproductive cavity must belong to me to live in.”

X paused slightly, finding the little tentacle monster’s wording rather bizarre, but nodded nonetheless.

“Alright, after giving birth, I will conceive more for you.”

Mu Si turned pale with fright.

“No conceiving, no conceiving! That is my nest! My warm bed! Mine, mine, mine!”

Mu Si coiled around X, shaking him as he acted spoiled.

Although X did not understand why, he possessed zero resistance against the little tentacle monster’s spoiled antics, quickly agreeing in a daze.

Only after agreeing did X react: what on earth had he agreed to?

What nest and warm bed?

What do you mean by leaving it for the little tentacle monster to live in?

How could someone even live in that?!
