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

In Jiang Mian's room at the hotel.

"Is this enough? I can have some more..."

"No, no, thank you for your hard work."

Jiang Mian quickly shook her head, interrupting Ye Chenyang.

In her hand she held an oddly sized long blade, its entire body golden yellow, crystal clear, and shimmering with a faint golden halo.

Clearly, this thing is made of high-purity radiant crystals, completely different from the weapons Ye Chenyang usually conjures up in battle.

In fact, the material is similar to the bracelet he gave Jiang Mian before, but there are a lot of them.

Even in its compressed, silent state, Jiang Mian could still feel the immense power of its radiance.

With such quality and purity, its value would be immeasurable if it were sold elsewhere.

Just now, she only mentioned wanting a lot of Radiant Crystals, and Ye Chenyang immediately made some.

Jiang Mian held the long blade up to her eyes and examined it closely. If this thing were standing on the ground, it would be much taller than her.

Seeing this, she pursed her lips unhappily, and with a thought, she put it into her spatial storage, without any intention of hiding it.

"Alright, Brother Ye, you take a rest first, we'll go out later."

"Um."

Ye Chenyang looked at her empty hands, lost in thought.

In fact, he had some suspicions when Jiang Mian took out the "communication" core, but she had never used this ability in front of him, so he did not draw any conclusions.

Now we can be sure.

It seems that the Calamity Sea has greatly enhanced her abilities, even granting her the extremely rare attribute of "space".

Seeing that Ye Chenyang was still standing there blankly, Jiang Mian nudged him, signaling him to sit down and rest.

Ye Chenyang did not resist and was "pushed down" and sat on the bed with a thud.

Then, Jiang Mian turned around and sat down next to him naturally.

This time she didn't create distance; although she wasn't touching him, she was still very close.

Ye Chenyang could even smell the faint fragrance emanating from her, with a hint of sweetness.

For some reason, he felt that Jiang Mian was acting strangely today, as if she was hiding something, and that she must have a special purpose in wanting the Radiant Crystal.

However, she seemed to be more affectionate in her behavior and more relaxed when they were together.

After holding hands yesterday, I don't think I've taken the initiative to do anything, have I?

Judging from the current situation, it's Jiang Mian who's taking the initiative now...

While waiting for his strength to recover, Ye Chenyang tried to figure out her intentions.

At this stage, she does not want to officially reveal her identity.

Aside from things that might threaten him, such as the movements of those ultimate calamities, Jiang Mian would proactively inform him, but he wouldn't mention anything else.

Since she said she wanted to go for a walk by the sea, perhaps she wanted to ask how to bypass the coastal defenses and get close to the giant sea creatures.

Ye Chenyang knew that Jiang Mian had come here with him and their relationship had developed, and she would also be going to Base City No. 1.

So what is the most important thing she needs to do before setting off?

He remembered that before the first [Doomsday] advanced to the sixth rank, it seemed that it already had four "fellowships" by its side.

Assuming that achieving domination is one of the advanced conditions for [Doomsday], she will definitely try her best to achieve it within this period of time.

Moreover, this matter is of great benefit to her.

Thinking of this, Ye Chenyang felt that he was probably right, and he was just waiting for her to ask him.

After resting for a while, the two left the hotel together.

Soon, they arrived at a small road where the inner and outer seas met.

This place is a bit far from the night market I visited last time. Although it's somewhat remote, the scenery is nice and there aren't many passersby.

Jiang Mian stepped onto the wooden plank path, his sneakers making soft "thump, thump" sounds as they hit the ground.

There is a distinct "black line" on the distant sea horizon; that is the dam that separates the inner and outer seas.

Entering the sea from here is undoubtedly a dead end.

Unless she can break through a dam made of special materials and tens of meters thick.

Taking the aerial route is even more impractical; it's the most conspicuous route and also the area where awakened humans are relatively adept.

She was about to ask Ye Chenyang a question when she sensed two familiar figures passing by in the distance, so she swallowed her words, took his hand, and quickened her pace.

……

Not far ahead.

"Team... Brother Lin."

Ah Jun instinctively wanted to call out to the captain, but Lin Guan stopped him with a look.

Although they failed in their mission that day, they were not actually punished. They were only given a few words of criticism before returning to work.

However, because everyone was injured, they were rotated to the relatively calm northern shore of the inland sea as a form of rest.

The higher-ups ordered a further strengthening of coastal surveillance, but upon closer examination, this seemed like an impossible task.

After all, with such a long defensive line, the various squads were also scattered and divided into two patrol teams.

But the target they had to be wary of turned out to be extremely powerful.

If, like that day, even a fifth-tier captain gets crushed, can the third-tier members like them really make a difference?

Unless those high-ranking figures are free to personally oversee the situation on the coast, there's no way to prevent it.

Ah Jun couldn't figure it out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Although he was worried that something serious might happen, there was nothing he could do to help. All he could do was carry out the task at hand and not cause any trouble.

Lin Guan glanced at the two people walking towards him from a distance, a hint of surprise and astonishment in his eyes.

Last time, he was one of the few people who learned about Ye Chenyang's identity as "Eternal Day," but the girl he held hands with was a stranger.

Anyone with a normal mind could see the relationship between the two, so he didn't go up to say hello, lest he make a fool of himself.

He turned around, looked at Ah Jun, indicated that everything was fine, and continued walking forward.

……

Jiang Mian stopped walking only after the two had gone far away.

She had already secretly investigated and vaguely sensed that the boundaries of 'Eternal Light' seemed to have been strengthened.

The color is noticeably more pronounced to the naked eye.

Even if you bypass the patrolling people like you just did, you would probably be noticed the moment you cross the line.

As she arrived here, a sense of unease inexplicably arose in her heart.

Jiang Mian knew that if he successfully entered the sea, then his fate would truly be in his own hands, not in the hands of heaven.

Whether or not she comes back will be entirely up to her own decision.

If Ye Chenyang had even the slightest distrust of him...

Do you want to ask?

In just a moment, she made her decision.

ask!

Jiang Mian believes that even though the relationship is not yet formal, mutual trust and understanding should be the foundation of this relationship.

Besides, Ye Chenyang has already made his stance clear, so how could I not believe him?

Jiang Mian then released Ye Chenyang's hand, turned around, and faced him.

Ye Chenyang's eyes flickered, and he asked knowingly:

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Ye."

Jiang Mian's voice was exceptionally clear in the sea breeze.

"I want to... go see the sea. Do you know how to get there?"

Ye Chenyang looked at her quietly.

Jiang Mian tilted her head slightly, waiting for his answer.

Those usually gentle and soft eyes now revealed a hint of depth.

Ye Chenyang took a step closer, reached out his hand, and gently brushed his fingertips through her hair. He nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"Yes, I know."
