Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

According to Jiang Mian's own aesthetic sense, this outfit does look quite good.

But if I wore it myself, it would look so strange!

Although she was used to wearing a nightgown to bed, she felt safe in her private space, whether she was at home or snuggled in bed.

Jiang Mian frowned, unable to resist imagining what it would be like to wear it out.

Well, anyway, she doesn't look bad in anything.

The main concern is that once it starts, it might get out of control.

But then I thought, compared to before when I had to rely on my delicate appearance to gain other people's sympathy, just changing my clothes doesn't seem like a big deal.

Since she had chosen to gradually accept his feelings, she stopped worrying about such trivial matters.

When she bought it, Jiang Mian only glanced at the size and did not try it on.

She held it up to herself, and it fit her quite well. The hem of the skirt was just above her knees, not too long, which was acceptable.

that……

……

The day flies by.

Six p.m.

Ye Chenyang stood at the door of Jiang Mian's room, thoughtfully stroking his chin.

Right after we finished dinner, she pulled me aside and said, "Wait a minute, I need to watch something for you later."

There's a feeling that something's being done secretly.

He couldn't help but think of the new clothes Jiang Mian had bought during the day.

No way?

She was clearly very shy during the day, and Ye Chenyang thought she would remain an ostrich for a while, but he didn't expect her to be so proactive.

No, judging from Jiang Mian's response when they held hands, she has indeed begun to accept him, and she is much more proactive than expected.

Indeed, if she had simply followed the crowd and been pushed around, she wouldn't have been able to grow to where she is today.

"Click!"

The door lock was suddenly turned open.

Jiang Mian peeked half her head out from under the door and whispered:

"Brother Ye, come in."

Ye Chenyang nodded, slid through the half-open door, and closed it behind him.

He looked into the room and saw that Jiang Mian had retreated to the bedside. She was no longer wearing her usual simple short-sleeved shirt and jeans, but a light blue dress that he had never seen before.

The simple design accentuated her full figure, and her exposed skin seemed to glow with a luminous white light.

Even though the dress is light-colored overall, it doesn't make her look dark at all.

Even though she had taken off her glasses, her gentle and obedient temperament remained unchanged.

Ye Chenyang had never seen Jiang Mian like this before.

In his memory, perhaps to avoid attracting attention, or perhaps because of the unpredictable climate in Base City 144, Jiang Mian always dressed simply and conservatively, always wrapped up tightly.

This outfit definitely makes me look much more relaxed.

How to put it... a word suddenly popped into Ye Chenyang's mind: blueberry cupcake?

Jiang Mian's eyes were somewhat unfocused as she tried to maintain a natural posture, but she couldn't suppress the blush on her face.

"W-How is it?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Mian unconsciously pinched the hem of her skirt.

"Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"

"Won't."

Ye Chenyang snapped out of his daze, a gentle smile curving his lips.

Although Jiang Mian's responses to emotions seem somewhat clumsy, it is precisely this clumsiness that makes her so endearing.

You look good in anything.

As he spoke, Ye Chenyang moved closer, bent down slightly, and smoothed the stray hairs at her temples.

"Are your eyes feeling better?"

"Huh?"

So close, too close.

Jiang Mian could clearly "smell" Ye Chenyang's scent and the breath he was breathing on her neck, which made her feel a little itchy.

She instinctively wanted to shrink back, but she held back.

This guy... he's asking a question he already knows the answer to.

"Yes, I can see it clearly now."

She had no intention of hiding this.

No need.

"Do you want to wear it again in the future? Will it be uncomfortable?"

Seeing that she did not resist this time, Ye Chenyang gently stroked her hair.

He knew that Jiang Mian didn't remove his disguise even though his physical condition had been improved by his abilities, because he needed to continue the pretense and couldn't afford to reveal any flaws in the details.

Now that he's here, Jiang Mian no longer needs to go through so much trouble pretending.

Even if Xiao Song had any doubts, he could simply say that she had already reached the second level.

[Eye of the Storm] After reaching the second tier, it gains innate perception abilities, which makes sense and is easy to fool.

Jiang Mian shook her head, feeling that the impact wasn't too significant.

It's not a big deal to keep wearing it; just treat it as an accessory.

"OK."

Seeing this, Ye Chenyang nodded.

"I can make you a matte finish later, with a few extra features."

He hadn't forgotten the time Jiang Mian got lost while shopping.

We'll burn a detailed map of the core area onto it, and add a navigation function so she won't get lost.

"Brother Ye, how come you can do everything?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenyang smiled gently.

"It's just a matter of practice."

[Condensation] is his basic skill, so he naturally uses it with ease.

In addition, he has a deep understanding of weapons and tools, such as the 'harpoon' from last time, and the long blade for combat, which were all made on the spot.

If you want to be more meticulous, it just takes a little more time.

It can be said that this one ability alone is enough to make him an extremely outstanding "blacksmith".

"Oh~"

Jiang Mian responded and took his hand, leading him to the window.

Although the skirt of this outfit is longer than a nightgown, it flows much more when you walk, and the texture is also very different.

I'm still not used to it.

"Brother Ye, I have something to tell you."

"Um?"

"Someone came to see me this morning."

Morning?

Ye Chenyang recalled her momentary daze while shopping, and her hurried return afterwards, probably to resolve this matter.

This simple sentence contains a lot of information.

After returning to Haiphong, Qin Xiao mentioned the suspected "apocalyptic" creation entering the sea.

But in such a vast sea area, even for Yu tide, finding such a small thing would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

In other words, Jiang Mian can contact the black dragon in the sea at any time?

Ye Chenyang didn't really understand the specific effects of the [Doomsday] skill.

According to previous summaries, between the fourth and sixth tiers, in addition to the fixed skills gained with each promotion, each elemental skill can be upgraded through "complete domination," offering a high degree of freedom.

Jiang Mian's potential is clearly greater than that of the previous generation, [Doomsday].

After all, the first thing she came into contact with was [Calamity Sea], so her wind-type abilities should have been upgraded to the extreme. It's just unknown what special effects they have.

Jiang Mian gave a brief account of the negotiations that took place during the day.

Ye Chenyang listened and showed an expression that said, "I knew it."

Since they have all been connected to [Wu Xiang], then [Doomsday] and [World-Destroying Flood], which caused such a huge commotion, must also be among the targets of their contact.

The [Natural Disasters] category is described as calamities, but it is essentially neutral.

After all, most of their power is concentrated in the ocean, unless there is a drastic change in the world, creating a large amount of "water" that floods the land.

Otherwise, for them, landing would be nothing more than a novelty experience, with no other benefits.

Humans will only take action if they engage in large-scale hunting in the ocean and pose a significant threat to them in their native marine habitat.

But this is clearly not something that humans can do now.

"So, their purpose is to test..."

"Oh, I know."

Jiang Mian quickly interrupted him.

"I'm just giving them a perfunctory response. You can handle the rest, Brother Ye."

Ye Chenyang looked into Jiang Mian's eyes, and a hint of cunning flashed within them.

She must have her own plans.

However, according to Jiang Mian's description, their plan was largely the same as in their previous life, only the timing was much earlier.

【origin】?

No, their goal is [Return to the Ruins].
