However, constantly hearing the other party say they want to eat me or whatever...

Gu Shengyin admitted she still couldn’t quite get used to it.

Some things are almost like instincts engraved deep within this body. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Gu Shengyin’s consciousness swept over the Puppet Doll and then severed a certain connection.

Then she realized that the emotions belonging to another consciousness that had been constantly asserting their presence in her mind had disappeared.

She let out a sigh of relief.

Gu Shengyin tilted her head to look at the Puppet Doll lying contentedly at her neck, feeling a strangely eerie satisfaction amidst her helplessness.

She slowly stood up, a heavy sense of exhaustion washed over her.

Sitting down it wasn’t noticeable, but once she got up, Gu Shengyin realized her strength seemed to have been drained.

She stood for quite a while before slowly recovering, heading toward her wooden cabin.

What she needed most right now was rest, as for other matters, they could wait until daylight.

Gu Shengyin managed to walk to her room, briefly washed up, and almost instantly fell into a deep slumber.

She was just too tired.

Faint moonlight streamed through the inadequately covered windows.

The Puppet Doll, seemingly lifeless until now, gently moved.

He propped himself up with his short, fleshy little hands.

His glance quickly swept around the room, unsure of where this place was.

After looking around, the Puppet Doll turned his gaze to the woman lying beneath him.

She had her eyes closed, her expression as indifferent as when she was awake.

The Puppet Doll tilted his head, quietly watching her.

No idea how long he stared, then he raised his small hand, sporting deep purple nails identical to Gu Shengyin’s, seemingly curious, gently scratching Gu Shengyin’s lips.

It was truly a tickling-like cautiousness.

Though he possessed no complex consciousness, the Puppet Doll knew his nails seemed quite powerful and shouldn’t be used forcefully; otherwise, it could cause problems for her.

So soft, and warm.

That’s what the Puppet Doll felt.

His body was nothing but cold materials, human warmth was utterly enticing to him.

Not to mention, the moment he first laid eyes on this person, he felt an uncontrollable desire to draw closer.

The Puppet Doll seemed addicted, every so often poking Gu Shengyin’s lips and then cautiously glancing at her with his emerald-like eyes.

After confirming she wouldn’t wake, he continued poking.

He regarded it as an extremely enjoyable game, indulging in it tirelessly.

System: "..."

Not needing rest, it silently watched the Puppet Doll’s actions.

The System really wanted to shout in Gu Shengyin’s mind: "Host, wake up! There’s a pervert taking advantage of you while you sleep!"

But ultimately, the System remained silent.

Because it realized the Puppet Doll now seemed like a little creature oblivious to everything, and his actions truly expressed a fondness for the host’s proximity.

Of course, the main reason the System stayed quiet is: the host was too exhausted.

Such rare quality sleep; it wouldn’t dare disturb.

The Puppet Doll played for quite a while, seemingly finally satisfied.

Looking around, he still chose that warm spot at Gu Shengyin’s neck, closed his eyes, and fell asleep along with his master.
