Chapter 615: Almost Starved to Death

Qi Yu shuddered all over, then walked over to Zhang Jie hesitantly, head down, looking like a guilty kitten.

Zhang Jie clicked his tongue, strode forward, and in Qi Yu's fearful gaze raised his arm high....

Qi Yu shrank her head and closed her eyes, but the imagined slap never came.

Was it just a head pat? No— in the next instant Qi Yu let out a startled cry, her face flushed red as she turned to look at Zhang Jie.

Old Zhang, through the fabric of the skirt, was gently stroking the other's insect limbs.

An intensely stimulating feeling came from behind; Qi Yu pressed her lips, eyes misty, looked at Zhang Jie, didn't dodge, and just let him stroke gently.

"Mas... Master, it's very sensitive......"

Zhang Jie, paying no heed to her protests, found the sensation like smooth bamboo with nice elasticity.

In short, one sentence— the feel is fantastic!

"Ah.... bliss...."

Zhang Jie felt satisfied, while Qi Yu suffered— her legs gave out and she sat straight on the ground, her body still trembling.

However, looking at her, the earlier tension had completely vanished, leaving only shyness; Zhang Jie thus, in this clever way, dispelled Qi Yu's tension.

"Don't touch...."

Zhang Jie finally stopped, arms crossed, looking with interest at the panting Qi Yu sitting on the ground; since the last time he roughly handled her insect limbs, she no longer lets him touch them.

Now he finally feels satisfied.

"How about it, still nervous?"

"Mas... Master...."

Qi Yu's tone was so soft it seemed about to drip water; after a long pause she still couldn't say anything, finally standing up with her legs wobbling.

"You... don't despise me?"

She actually displayed such a terrifying side in front of Zhang Jie....

Qi Yu carefully recalled her previous actions; she probably didn't do anything especially disgusting, right?

"Probably.... right?"

"Despise what? I'm not some saint."

This time Zhang Jie truly felt the watermelon rind's head— soft, gentle, with a silk-like feel, quite nice.

"I'm afraid you'll kill ordinary people— what's the difference from anomalies?"

"By the way, watermelon rind, do you really not know what species you are?"

Seeing that Zhang Jie seemed truly unconcerned, the watermelon rind's hanging heart finally sank, but hearing his words it began to think again.

She... she herself also doesn't know what she is.

"I... I don't know."

"I only know that I'm somewhat different from you, and sometimes memories of someone flash in my mind...."

Her eyes were filled with confusion, written all over with helplessness; she was very afraid.

"I don't know... I'm afraid, afraid of you despising me."

"But..."

She began to sob, feeling as if her innermost thoughts had been laid bare, like falling from the clouds and then returning to them.

Anyway, no matter what, she just felt wronged.

"But I'm so hungry.... Master.... I'm so hungry!"

"I don't dare to gulp your blood, I don't dare... I know excessive blood loss would hurt you...."

Zhang Jie raised his eyebrows— hungry? Qi Yu is finally saying the words buried deep in her heart.

Seeing the child cry so sadly, it seems she's starved badly.

"Can't even eating fill your stomach anymore?"

"Mmm!!!"

She gave a firm 'mmm', lifted her head to look at Zhang Jie pitifully, making his heart almost melt.

"I want to drink blood! Eat meat! Whether human! Or anomalous! Pollution is fine too!"

Zhang Jie paused— wait.... pollution?

"Watermelon rind, can you eat pollution?"

"Mm!"

Qi Yu counted on her fingers, calculating with Zhang Jie.

She hasn't been able to eat enough for almost a year, surviving on pollution to keep from starving....

Zhang Jie's mouth twitched; he had thought Qi Yu's body had grown to her head— what does it mean 'still okay with the thin pollution in the air keeping her alive', otherwise she'd have starved!

"So each time you come to me for blood...."

"That's because I was about to starve to death...."

Zhang Jie slapped his own forehead— realizing that Qi Yu coming out to hunt was purely from hunger!

You know, the watermelon rind used to stay home obediently! She never said she wanted to go out; if you calculate, that was when Qi Yu was eating pig feed most voraciously.

Back then she needed organic matter, so she could eat her fill every meal, meaning comfort and safety; Qi Yu naturally didn't want to go out, so she liked to lie in her little nest sleeping whenever she had nothing to do.

"Then you should have said earlier, I'll go...."

Zhang Jie felt a headache; he also didn't know Qi Yu was starving all day, this little dummy didn't utter a sound, only when she was famished did she think of going out to get something to eat.

Today, I guess she had gone a few days without meat, plus she was desperate from hunger, there was nothing to be done.

Fortunately, her nature is good; on the road she often could have caught solitary humans as food, but she didn't.

Essentially, Qi Yu realized she was different, but her own cognition still leaned more toward being human, which also explains why she didn't act against humans.

"I... I don't dare to say..."

"I'm afraid... afraid that if you see me, you will..."

"I just look different from other people, right?"

Looking at Qi Yu being so careful, Zhang Jie found it hard to say those words, 'You're a freak.'

"Yes, you're just different from ordinary people."

"Speaking of which, we're still the same kind."

Qi Yu's insect wings had drooped at her ears, but hearing Zhang Jie's words, they perked up again.

"Really?!?"

Zhang Jie nodded, and under Qi Yu's eagerly anticipating gaze, he activated his special vision, twisting the silk-like pollutants in the air into a ball.

"Can you see this ball of 'pollution' in my hand?"

Qi Yu nodded vigorously, little stars sparkling in her eyes; she could see that ball of pollution!

"Then that's correct!"

"I also eat this stuff!"

Zhang Jie handed the pollution to Qi Yu's lips; she couldn't wait and gulped it down, her eyes squinting in enjoyment, an expression that almost wrote 'the flavor is truly satisfying' on her face.

"Master! You! You're actually my kindred!"

"Hmph, so after this incident, what have you understood?"

Qi Yu stared blankly, tilted her head and thought for a while, then finally uttered a sentence.

"Is Master the best person?"

"Go to hell, this matter tells you: if you have something to say, say it out, don't keep it bottled up."

"Huh?"

"You've been starving for so long, why didn't you say anything? What do you take me for?"

"Master... I..."

"Stop, stop, stop, go home, I'll lecture you again when we get back!"

"Oh... this motorcycle... can I take it to sell for money?"

Zhang Jie:...
