My Sister Never Said She Was a Creepy Tale - Chapter 109
The sweet blood flowed down her throat into her stomach. A sticky fragrance enveloped Yue Yiyue completely, making her feel as comfortable and pleasant as lying in bed listening to the rain beat on banana leaves in childhood.
Her entire body felt somewhat weightless, as if she were walking on cotton instead of the ground.
Her mind was like it had drunk aged medicinal liquor—excited and joyful.
The highly effective medicinal liquor immediately dispersed the strange fog lingering in Yue Yiyue’s mind, making her much clearer.
In this instant, Yue Yiyue felt a long-lost sense of lightness.
She then noticed that obvious changes had also occurred in her body.
First, her eyes. The world she saw was sharper; she could even see the tiny things constantly repairing Yu Man’s wounds.
Yue Yiyue lowered her head and saw the small tentacles vaguely hooked around her leg.
Did I used to have things like this hanging on me?
She wasn’t sure.
The small tentacle seemed to realize Yue Yiyue could see it. It affectionately made a heart shape, then vanished.
Quite cute.
Meanwhile, she heard the whispers of the monsters outside the window, anxiously searching for their prey.
Some were discussing how to tear their targets apart to receive their rewards.
Some were wondering where the humans had gone.
But since they were just monsters with little intelligence, they thought for only a moment, then followed the tide they formed, circling aimlessly in the labyrinth.
These subtle changes gave Yue Yiyue a strange sense of security.
It was as if she had established a deeper connection with this world, or rather, with Gu Nanqiu.
Letting out a soft, contented sigh, Yue Yiyue looked at Gu Nanqiu, who had slumped into her arms, eyes comfortably closed.
She reached out and stroked Gu Nanqiu’s cheek. The simplest contact with her skin caused a burst of satisfaction deep within Yue Yiyue.
A feeling of having completely and utterly possessed Gu Nanqiu.
Yu Man watched the two of them embrace so sweetly. She found the scene utterly tedious.
She glanced down at her phone, then stood up.
“Hey… where are you going?” Zhou Qingyi watched Yu Man suddenly walk off in a certain direction. He stood up, confused. The thick application of medicine on his hands prevented him from touching the edge of the other woman’s clothes.
Yu Man didn’t spare him a look and slipped into the darkness.
Zhou Qingyi looked at the two people still entangled in romance. He deliberated for a moment, then followed Yu Man out.
It was too uncomfortable staying here like a third wheel.
That Yu Man looked very strong, so following her should be… fine.
In a short while, Yue Yiyue heard the sound of flesh being shredded outside.
The monsters’ complaints turned into wails, and the sound of gold coins rolling in the corner grew louder and louder.
Yue Yiyue was jolted out of the emotional trance. She nudged Gu Nanqiu, who was practically melting into a puddle on her: “Time to get to work.”
“Let me feel it a little longer…” Gu Nanqiu looked lazy, her rosy lips opening and closing as she grumbled: “I’ve only just realized how you felt the moment you first saw me. Let me feel a bit more.”
“Ah… I’m really so happy. So, the moment you first saw me, you already liked me.” Gu Nanqiu lowered her gaze, her thick black eyelashes trembling slightly. A happy chuckle vibrated in her throat, reaching Yue Yiyue’s ears.
This caused Yue Yiyue’s ears to heat up, but she couldn’t refute it; she was indeed attracted by beauty first.
“Even the moment I stabbed you, all you thought about was how suitable the clothes were. I’m truly so happy…”
If Gu Nanqiu were a cat, Yue Yiyue would be hearing happy purring right now, with paws kneading lightly on her.
Unfortunately, Gu Nanqiu was a human. So, after Zhou Qingying and Zhou Qingyi left, her hands, which were slightly cold, hooked Yue Yiyue’s, rubbed her palm, pinched her fingertips, and when she was done playing, tightly interlaced their fingers.
Yue Yiyue was so tempted by these small gestures that she wanted to press the woman here and hold her properly, but reason told Yue Yiyue that she had a more urgent task at hand.
“You can slowly feel it when we get back.” Yue Yiyue leaned down and lightly pecked Gu Nanqiu’s lips: “Ye Qiu and two other clones I haven’t met are somewhere in this company.”
“You deal with Greed, and I won’t bring up old issues.” Yue Yiyue squeezed Gu Nanqiu’s hand, offering her leverage: “Of course, for that thing you want most, I still need a little preparation.”
After sensing Gu Nanqiu’s surging emotions, she also sensed lust.
Gu Nanqiu’s mind is usually filled with… desire…
But if this matter was resolved successfully, wearing only her shirt in the kitchen might be possible.
Gu Nanqiu was clearly thrilled with this leverage. She kissed Yue Yiyue’s fingertip, her canine teeth gently biting the fleshy tip, happily adding: “And that Fish-head.”
“As long as you don’t bring up those old issues.”
Yue Yiyue shook her head: “Greed is yours. The Fish-head is my prey.”
The Clones and the Knife
Following Gu Nanqiu in a certain direction, Yue Yiyue smelled a familiar scent.
Ye Qiu and the other two “Qius” were standing at a dark spot, barely distinguishable as a doorway, waiting quietly.
The moment they saw Yue Yiyue, they all showed the same degree of smile, as if they had undergone standardized training.
The sight was slightly unnerving.
Especially since various messy corpses were piled up behind them, and strange-colored liquids stained their hands.
This side of Gu Nanqiu matched Yue Yiyue’s very first impression of her.
Powerful, mysterious.
That’s why she was naturally drawn to this Gu Nanqiu, subconsciously bringing her back to her small utility room.
For a moment, Yue Yiyue thought they might be the same kind.
But after everything, Yue Yiyue understood they weren’t the same kind; they were family.
A more beautiful bond.
Yue Yiyue walked two steps forward, stood on her tiptoes, and stroked Ye Qiu’s face: “Were you the boss at the cake shop that day?”
“Not exactly me.” Ye Qiu pointed to the Qiu standing with arms crossed, smiling faintly: “But I was there then; I just didn’t let you see me.”
Yue Yiyue followed Ye Qiu’s gesture and looked at the Qiu in the black turtleneck and beautiful curly hair. She nodded slightly with reserve, like a large cat, looking like she didn’t want to claim credit.
Extremely cute.
“Then I’ll call you Boss Qiu. Boss Qiu, what was that thing you gave me that day?”
The woman raised an eyebrow, quickly accepting the nickname: “Do you want to use that thing to kill the Fish-head monster?”
“You’d be better off finding a knife in the kitchen, scraping off the scales, removing the inedible parts, and tossing it into a pot to simmer a milky white fish soup.”
Yue Yiyue paused and thought for a moment. She readily changed her question: “Then, do you have a kitchen knife?”
A sharp cleaver was handed over, its blade flashing silver. It was clear the original owner cherished this cleaver dearly.
“Baby, be careful—” Yue Lu’s voice had a strange, confusing quality in the darkness. A ball of black mist then surged up from the ground, quickly forming Yue Lu’s likeness.
Yue Yiyue was momentarily dazed. She took the knife from her “mother’s” hand. The next moment, she was pulled into the woman’s arms. After a moment of beautiful whispers, Yue Yiyue saw a strange, crooked mark form a curse on her hand.
Yet another Qiu. She walked up to Yue Yiyue and hung a black cloth-wrapped object around her neck.
After a brief gurgling sound, these Qius vanished.
Yue Yiyue understood they had returned to the main body.
Once the sounds behind her completely quieted down, Yue Yiyue turned to look at Gu Nanqiu.
“Baby, it’s time to go.” Gu Nanqiu was still the same as before, only slightly taller, carrying an air of dominance.
As if the world was under her control.
Yue Yiyue looked down at the knife in her hand: “Let’s go.”
The Real Deal
The monsters outside the room had been cleared multiple times.
Yue Yiyue belatedly realized she had been played a grand trick.
However, she had just said she wouldn’t bring up old issues. Yue Yiyue only glanced at the little monster next to her, who was trying to look obedient.
I’ll just find some excuse to make the little monster sleep alone later.
“Yiyue!”
“You can’t think that way! I don’t want to sleep alone!” Gu Nanqiu wrapped around her, loudly protesting: “You said you wouldn’t bring up old issues!”
Oh, she forgot. The little monster could read minds.
Yue Yiyue bit her lip, thinking of a solution: “If you read my mind without my permission again, you won’t sleep with me either.”
Since she couldn’t figure out a solution, she might as well solve Gu Nanqiu.
Gu Nanqiu immediately retracted her mind-reading ability, looking woeful as she observed Yue Yiyue’s expression, knowing the other woman was still slightly displeased.
For the sake of her wonderful future life, Gu Nanqiu decided to thoroughly beat Greed and send her back to repent.
“Yiyue, when we get back, I’ll give you a massage. I booked a private hot spring. I’ll massage you there to relieve your fatigue.”
After the hot spring, Yiyue will be rosy like a little strawberry mochi. I can savor her then.
Yue Yiyue glanced at Gu Nanqiu.
So satisfying… just that look… it would be best if she could slap me again, Gu Nanqiu excitedly rubbed her face against Yue Yiyue.
“How can I stop hearing your thoughts…” Yue Yiyue rubbed her slightly red ear: “Can’t you think about something proper?”
I dare not think about what happened earlier…
“How much further is it?” Yue Yiyue gave up thinking, deciding to deal with the immediate problem first. She would take her time with Gu Nanqiu later.
“Walk forward a bit, and then—” A massive tentacle, with lightning speed, directly pierced the monster that suddenly attacked them, lightly flicking it away.
Zhou Qingying tsked with dissatisfaction. Her face, full of annoyance, twisted into a fawning smile the moment she saw Gu Nanqiu: “Ye Qiu?”
“You still came to see me.”
“You must have considered everything I told you, right?” She looked at Gu Nanqiu, her eyes surprisingly bright: “I secured all the investments you wanted, and I hired the lead actor for your new movie according to your request. I can satisfy your every single need.”
“Please love me.”
“Please, love me.” Zhou Qingying pleaded almost humbly.
Yue Yiyue felt awkward watching this scene and wanted to escape.
But her hand was tightly held by Gu Nanqiu, and she couldn’t move.
Gu Nanqiu, however, was used to this: “You only did this little bit?”
“And you dare to seek credit from me with just this little bit? What are you?”
“You think this is enough to get my body? Do you think I’m that cheap?”
“Mu Hong offered the entire City A to me, and even She didn’t dare say much to me. Zhou Qingying, if you haven’t woken up, go back to sleep.”
“Honestly, saying such nauseating things. If I were you, I would find a place to hide.”
One malicious sentence after another spewed from her beautiful mouth.
It was only at this moment that Yue Yiyue realized that the being next to her was the monster composed of Lust.
The one who knows the deepest core of love composed of desire in the human heart.
Zhou Qingying was stunned for a moment by Gu Nanqiu’s words, but she quickly recovered: “But… I did all this for you—”
“I gave up my human identity, my family, everything for you.”
“From the moment I met you, I put in so much effort just to be worthy of you.”
“Why?”
“Why won’t you give me even a single extra look, no matter what I do?”
“Three chance encounters at the cake shop, and then I visited you so many times.”
Zhou Qingying’s facade was beginning to crumble, but she quickly calmed down. She had the item given by Adult Greed in her hand… Once the time was right, a little bit would be enough for Ye Qiu to become obsessed with her.
More of the same confusing words—it was all for me. Gu Nanqiu, who had heard these things for thousands of years, couldn’t be bothered to argue.
“May I ask, what did you lose by controlling the entire Zhou Corporation?”
“May I ask, what did you lose by turning your sister into that neither human nor ghost form?”
“May I ask, what did you lose when all the employees of the Zhou Corporation adored you?”
“Putting aside the wealth and prestige you gained, putting aside the respect you received, you only feel lonely and cold when you lack a woman in your arms at night?”
“I’m asking you!” Yue Yiyue looked at Zhou Qingying’s self-pitying expression with extreme incomprehension.
That unpleasant smell from the other woman shot straight to her head. Sometimes, a person’s poor character is just a matter of feeling.
“Exactly, exactly!” Gu Nanqiu immediately nodded in agreement: “And she doesn’t even lack people in her bed at night.”
Ignoring how Gu Nanqiu knew about the other woman’s bedroom activities, Yue Yiyue stared at Zhou Qingying: “So, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Zhou Qingying’s mind was clearly being controlled by some strange force. She nervously pulled out her phone: “After I have you, I won’t contact them anymore.”
“You are my only one…”
Yue Yiyue didn’t know what to say. She looked at Gu Nanqiu: “You solve this yourself.”
If she said two more sentences, Yue Yiyue felt that her nightmares tonight would be of someone yelling in her ear: “I did it all for you.”
After saying this, Yue Yiyue took a step back, preparing to search for the Fish-head.
“Yiyue,” Gu Nanqiu called out pitifully.
“Solve it quickly. We’re going to the hot spring later, and you can do what you want.” Yue Yiyue left this sentence and resolutely pulled her hand free.
“Yes, ma’am!” Gu Nanqiu instantly became excited. She turned to look at Zhou Qingying: “I believe I have rejected you before?”
Gu Nanqiu softened her voice, pointing her finger at the air. Something in the air violently churned, with faint hints of thunder mixed with humid moisture.
Strong, thick tentacles adopted an aggressive stance, sprawling on the ground.
Zhou Qingying still firmly remembered Adult Greed’s words. She touched her sleeve, and soon a strange fragrance filled the room.
Adult Greed said this substance could restrain Gu Nanqiu.
When Gu Nanqiu smelled this, she would be controlled by desire…
Yue Yiyue vs. The Fish-head
Yue Yiyue casually turned a few corners and heard the sound of a knife scraping the floor nearby.
It had come, as expected.
In a sense, the Fish-head was like a dog; it followed the scent.
Yue Yiyue felt the knife in her hand. Hmph. Logically, she should maintain a good mental state.
But the thought of this Fish-head stabbing Gu Nanqiu…
Well, screw the good mental state.
Yue Yiyue hid in a corner, listening to the heavy footsteps getting closer…
Closer and closer…
Timing it perfectly, Yue Yiyue cleanly dashed out to attack.
But she was blocked by a wisp of light wind.
Yu Man looked down at the aggressive human: “You seem to have attacked the wrong place.”
“My apologies, my apologies.” Yue Yiyue immediately withdrew the attack, looking somewhat embarrassed at Yu Man: “Sister… I’m sorry, but I clearly saw…”
“Just a simple spatial displacement.” Yu Man didn’t seem to mind. She explained: “Now, I need to throw the troublesome human behind me out.”
“Pay attention.”
After saying that, Yu Man elegantly walked toward the wall. Zhou Qingyi, who was tightly bound by an invisible wind behind her, struggled with difficulty: “There’s something specifically designed to deal with Gu Nanqiu…”
“It’s in a room with a pink door. The rule there is that you absolutely, absolutely cannot speak.”
“You must completely burn that thing.”
Saying this, he threw a lighter over.
Looking at the rectangular object in her hand: “Thank you.”
“Treat me to dinner later.”
Zhou Qingyi was about to ask why he had to treat her to dinner even after helping her, but he suddenly realized something. He smiled self-deprecatingly: “I’m sorry, that’s what I should do.”
Yu Man felt that the person behind her was too noisy. She missed An Yu’an a little.
An Yu’an always knew better how to read her expression.
The Last Grudge
Yue Yiyue searched for the Fish-head while looking for the door Zhou Qingyi mentioned.
Several times she spotted the fish’s trail, but it quickly vanished.
Like playing hide-and-seek.
There must be a mastermind behind this.
Yue Yiyue recalled the object in the very first room they entered.
Although Gu Nanqiu’s clone said to ignore it.
She felt inexplicably uneasy.
Yue Yiyue cautiously wandered through the labyrinth until she realized the Fish-head was trying to trick her into moving further and further away in a certain direction. She could vaguely see the door they had escaped from originally.
It was as if it was blocking her from finding the pink door.
Are you kidding me? Even without the obstruction, Yue Yiyue wouldn’t easily find it.
This terrible place looked the same everywhere. Now, after passing every junction, she could hear the sound of the path behind them changing.
However, the Fish-head’s obstruction gave Yue Yiyue a new idea. She silently walked in the opposite direction of where the Fish-head appeared.
If It appeared in the south, she walked north.
If It appeared on the left, she walked south.
After a few such movements, the Fish-head noticed Yue Yiyue was close to the critical location.
Its fish brain pondered briefly, then, amidst a wave of spicy scent, It raised its blade and walked toward Yue Yiyue.
“You… deserve to die…” The fish was expressionless, merely coldly carrying out the last command from its master before the link was severed.
“You… deserve to die…”
Yue Yiyue dodged the Fish-head’s attack sideways. Noticing the long intestine trailing from the opponent, she endured the nausea and severed the intestine.
The room was instantly filled with a disgusting fishy odor. Slimy scales fell onto Yue Yiyue’s hand, covered with greenish moss.
Swiftly cutting off the area contaminated with scales, Yue Yiyue endured the pain and attacked the Fish-head, whose movement was delayed by the ruptured intestine.
One strike.
Two strikes.
Three strikes.
Blood splashed. One red streak after another appeared on the white wall, like blooming plum blossoms.
Beautiful yet cruel.
Looking at the monster lying on the ground, Yue Yiyue, with trembling hands, untied the black cloth-wrapped object from her neck.
The yellow talisman, painted with unreadable symbols, landed on the Fish-head and burst into raging flames.
As the smoke rose, Yue Yiyue saw a female figure, who had worked continuously for twenty-eight hours, staggering toward a chopped chili fish head restaurant.
“Ah… it’s finally over… I’ll reward myself with chopped chili fish head…”
“Tomorrow’s life! Will be better!”
“I’ll definitely pay off the mortgage!!!”
One after another, the Fish-head’s dreams drifted up, only to be pricked by pins appearing from nowhere.
A quiet weeping sound came from the corner.
“I don’t want to kill people…”
“I won’t work for Gluttony anymore…”
“Those were all my kind…”
“I’m so miserable…”
“Why did no one save me…”
“Ah… I was so close to eating it…”
“You don’t have to kill anymore.” Yue Yiyue walked to the corner, looking at the hunchbacked monster.
Because of the link with Gu Nanqiu, she had gained a peculiar ability.
Yue Yiyue clenched her hand. Soon, a cloud of pink mist drifted out and settled upon the Fish-head monster’s true body.
The Fish-head monster’s face immediately showed a look of reverie, followed by an expression of satisfaction.
“Indeed… the chopped chili fish head tastes best after overtime…”
In reality, a thick tentacle pierced the Fish-head monster completely. The face, which had grown strange tumors due to mutation, gradually reverted to the original tired female face.
She felt peace because her appetite was satisfied in this environment.
“Th-thank you… I’m finally free…”
“I killed so many people… my soul definitely won’t go to heaven…”
She rambled on about how great it would have been if she had been stronger that day and refused overtime. Her house was just renovated, and she guessed it would go to her sister in the end.
She also cursed Gluttony for making her kill so many of her own kind.
Yue Yiyue listened quietly, occasionally concurring to show support.
She breathed her last: “Ah… my mission failed, so you are free…”
“The grudge between Gluttony and you ends here. No more monsters will come looking for trouble…”
“It’s just a pity about your orphanage; we massacred all of them.”
Yue Yiyue didn’t reply.
Truthfully, this was already a long time ago for her. The anger of that time only made her feel relief now that the world had been reset, and she hadn’t implicated her mother and siblings.
Blinded by anger back then, her sole thought was that since Gluttony killed her sisters and brothers, she would go and eliminate the children Gluttony had raised.
Thinking back, she was truly lucky to have the Main God’s protection.
That past grievance was severed back then.
In this life, there was nothing more to say.
Yue Yiyue watched the Fish-head wither, eventually dissolving into sustenance for the tentacle, and vanishing from the area.
It was over.
It wasn’t particularly difficult either, since the Main God had strengthened her considerably, and she had received a knife from “Mother.”
Her gaze fell upon the tentacle in front of her, which was trembling with excitement from being used by her.
It immediately wrapped around Yue Yiyue’s hand. Mucus coated the injured area, and an itching sensation came from the wound.
This method of healing wasn’t bad. Yue Yiyue squeezed the tip of the tentacle: “Thank you.”
The tentacle excitedly curled up two bottles of water for Yue Yiyue to clean herself.
After tidying up slightly, Yue Yiyue turned and walked in the direction the Fish-head had pointed before its death.
