Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

"Is this... knowing me? Or does he want to get closer to me?"

Qiuyue was a little surprised after watching the two little guys' actions. She subconsciously expressed her guess. Zhang Haiqing raised his hand and let her lean closer to him. He looked at the two strange lumps of flesh with extreme vigilance and said, "Honey, haven't you seen this kind of creature before? If not, you have to be careful. It's not something poisonous or something that will suddenly attack you."

As soon as Zhang Haiqing finished speaking, the two little creatures immediately "exploded", and their flexible tentacles slammed down suddenly, and their round heads also raised up along with the rising tentacles. This time, their beautiful eyes finally gave Zhang Haiqing their sight, but this time their gaze was obviously not particularly friendly, and they stared at him as if they were staring at some evil person.

Their sudden explosion did not scare anyone, but made them more nervous. At the same time, such a quick reaction made everyone understand that these two little things could understand human language and were extremely smart.

Qiuyue blinked and shook her head, saying, "I've never seen such creatures before, but I don't think they have any malicious intent. They just want to get close to me."

"Not necessarily, baby, don't be fooled by their appearance. They might be disguised like this to get you to get close to them. It's better to be careful."

Zhang Haiqing didn't doubt Qiuyue's feelings, he just found it hard to believe in unknown things, especially since these two little things obviously wanted to get close to his baby.

Elsewhere, the ever-vigilant Zhang Haixia narrowed his eyes slightly. He sized up the two palm-sized balls of flesh and suddenly said, "Baby, these two little creatures suddenly appeared in this space. Could they have been created in your space? And since you're the master of this space, maybe that's why they wanted to get close to you?"

Qiuyue was stunned when she heard this, but she still said, "I don't know either. This bead was given to me by someone else. I don't know if there is any living thing inside it. But I have never seen any living thing inside it before, so I can't be sure if you are right."

"Grrrrrr!"

"Guji——"

The two little guys cried out again, and this time they crawled out directly from the ice cream and cream that had been melted by their body temperature. They looked sticky, but they didn't react to it. They just raised their tentacles and wanted to get closer to the person they had been thinking about for thousands of years.

It's not that they can't get close to her, nor that they can't jump towards her. They have been staying on the table obediently until now, mainly because they are afraid of scaring her. As for the vigilance of Zhang Haiqing, Zhang Haixia and others, they don't care at all.

Qiuyue looked into their eyes and found that they looked at her with longing and expectation, just like little puppies waiting to be hugged, which made people feel soft-hearted for no reason.

"It's okay. My body is not afraid of poison or injury. What's more, I have the ability to heal myself. Don't worry. Let me see what they want to do."

Qiuyue patted Zhang Haiqing's arm, soothing him softly. At the same time, she took out two white talismans from the space, pinched the edge of the talisman paper and stretched them towards them. Zhang Haixia saw this and reached out to stop her: "Baby, give me the talisman paper, let me stick it on them and see if they will attack people."

Zhang Haiqing also agreed: "Yes, baby, let him come. Wait until you are sure that he is not aggressive before you contact him."

The others had the same idea. Although they already knew Qiuyue was the Ancestral Qilin, they still wanted to protect her and didn't want her to encounter any danger. However, Qiuyue didn't stop there. Instead, she took the first step and directly applied the talismans one by one. Zhang Haixia didn't have time to stop her. His voice was full of comfort, "Oh, I told you not to. My body's defense ability is stronger than yours. Don't worry, it will be fine!"

"Hey!"

Zhang Haixia didn't expect Qiuyue to be so quick, and the others were also nervous. Fortunately, the two little creatures didn't move at all when Qiuyue put on the talisman paper, allowing her to put it on. This made everyone feel relieved. Zhang Haiqing pursed his lips, hugged Qiuyue tighter, and said helplessly: "Baby, don't do this next time. We will be really worried. We don't want anything to happen to you, and we don't want you to get hurt."

"Yeah, baby, don't do that again next time, it's so dangerous!"

"Yes, with us here, there's no need to put yourself in danger, baby."

"Be good, baby. Let us do it next time."

The others also started talking, their eyes full of disapproval. Qiuyue couldn't help but arch her eyebrows when she heard this, a sweet smile on her face. She said softly, "Okay, okay, I promise you guys. Next time I won't come by myself. I'll let you come. Don't be angry anymore."

At the same time, the two little guys who had been affixed with the whitening talisman had become clean now. The sticky ice cream and cream on their bodies had all disappeared. They stared at Qiuyue with their watery eyes, as if they were looking at her eagerly. The tentacles that were originally raised high were all coiled under their bodies, looking more like octopuses. Seeing this, Qiuyue said, "They really don't seem to be aggressive. Look, they even put away their tentacles. They didn't attack me when I applied the talisman just now, so don't worry."

Zhang Haiqing looked at the two little guys again. When he looked into their clear, watery eyes, he finally relented: "Okay, honey, you can try to touch them, but if anything goes wrong, we will take them away immediately."

As he spoke, Zhang Haiqing slowly loosened his arms around her. Qiuyue hummed and nodded, "I know, I'll be careful."

As she spoke, Qiuyue approached the two little guys again after he let go of her hand. She looked into their eyes and raised her hand to touch them. The others immediately tensed up again, their eyes becoming sharper and more vigilant. If there was anything wrong with these two little lumps of meat, they would be beaten into a pulp in the next second.

Fortunately, these two little things really had no intention of hurting anyone. When Qiuyue's hand gently touched their round heads, they not only did not extend their tentacles, but instead pressed them under their bodies and hid tighter - after the conversation between Qiuyue and Zhang Haiqing just now, the two of them already knew that they were being guarded against. Now that they couldn't speak, they could only use actions to prove that they were harmless.

Qiuyue's hands were very soft and warm. When she gently stroked their heads, the two little ones' eyes almost instantly filled with tears. They tightened their tentacles, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, and even tried to rub their heads against her palms, as if to feel her body temperature and touch more.

It's been too long, really too long.

They thought they would never see her again...

Qiuyue felt the touch was very smooth, as if she were actually touching an octopus, round and round. However, their skin was very dry, without any mucus or anything like that. It felt bouncy and soft, perhaps more like slime or jelly? In short, it felt very good.

What surprised Qiuyue was that these two little things actually had some temperature. They were not as cold as she had thought. It felt like around 20 degrees Celsius, warm and cool, and felt very nice to touch.

"How do you feel? Are you feeling well, baby?"

Zhang Haixia tilted his head slightly to look at the two little creatures. When he saw them trying hard to rub their heads against Qiuyue's hands, the vigilance in his eyes dissipated for the most part, and his tone became much more relaxed. Qiuyue, on the other hand, became a little addicted to touching them and said, "It feels like touching jelly. They have body temperature and no mucus. They feel pretty good to the touch, very bouncy. Don't worry, everyone. They really don't want to hurt anyone. They're quite well behaved. Look, they've retracted their tentacles and haven't stretched them out to entangle me."

After hearing Qiuyue say this, everyone finally felt relieved, but they did not completely let down their guard. They were just a little more relaxed than before. After confirming that the two little creatures would not be in danger for the time being, everyone started chatting.

"Ha, I don't know what these two little creatures are. They look like octopuses, but they have body temperature and no suckers. Their colors are weird too, and they have a lot more tentacles. I wonder if they're some kind of mutant species."

"Could it be some rare and exotic animal? Why not go back and look through the Classic of Mountains and Seas to find it?"

"I don't think so. I've read the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and I don't recall seeing such a creature."

"The baby said he's never seen one before. Could it be a newborn?"

"The patterns on their bodies and the color of their eyes don't look like ordinary species at all."

……

While listening to their discussion, Qiuyue looked curiously at the tentacles coiled under their bodies - she wanted to touch them.

As if they could sense Qiuyue's thoughts, the two small groups of tentacles began to wriggle, and then two tentacles of different colors slowly stretched out. The people around them suddenly stopped talking and stared at them again - they had never completely let down their guard.

Qiuyue looked at the two tentacles, one red and one white, and was stunned for a moment. Then she gently hooked them with two fingers of her hands. At the moment of contact, the two tentacles tightened almost at the same time and wrapped softly around Qiuyue's fingers. At the same time, they immediately made a very happy call.

"Grrrrrr!"

"Guji~"
