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

After getting ashore, the two did not go straight back to the hotel, but instead walked south along the seaside road.

Their destination was the inland sea area they had visited twice before.

Jiang Mian walked ahead, her steps light and cheerful, clearly in a good mood.

Three of the four dominator positions have already been used, and there's still one fire-type position left. I haven't decided who to choose yet.

There are fire-attribute calamities in the deep sea, but they are not pure enough, and fire is not their primary attribute.

Even something as powerful as a torrent requires special organs to manipulate the element of lightning.

It is conceivable that the main attributes of those calamities living in the deep sea must be water or earth, and their methods of controlling fire are similar.

So it seems that she has two choices: Sequence 43 [Netherworld] and Sequence 33 [Purgatory].

However, their distributions are somewhat extreme, one in the north and the other in the south.

Never mind, we'll see when the time comes.

Anyway, the current skill set is enough, and the quota is in my own hands, so I can give it to whomever I want.

Neither of them spoke on the way.

Ye Chenyang simply stared quietly at the figure in front of him, the tremor in his heart still surging.

Soon, they arrived at the familiar night market.

Although it was already past one o'clock, the place was still bustling.

Previously, the commotion in the open sea was too big.

Even if people don't know exactly how powerful an eighth-order calamity is, they know it can easily destroy a city.

Now that the crisis is over and the city is about to return to order, those low-level awakened individuals who make a living in the activity area are naturally in high spirits.

Many people met up with old friends to discuss their future plans.

Jiang Mian chose a secluded open-air stall, ordered some food at random, and sat down next to Ye Chenyang.

I ate until I was stuffed during the day, but my stomach still feels empty.

For her, absorbing the core is more like a daily training session; she only feels satisfied when she actually eats the food.

Ye Chenyang leaned against the table, quietly watching her profile.

She ate rather quickly, taking large bites, her cheeks bulging out.

A slight thought stirred within him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

Lacking experience, Ye Chenyang spent his free time reading a lot of "guides," which mentioned that you should confess your feelings when the other person is in a good mood.

Jiang Mian had just returned from the mist, having reaped considerable rewards, and was in a high emotional state, making it the perfect time to meet him.

If this excitement wears off in a few days, I'll have to find another opportunity.

Since he doesn't need to create it intentionally, perhaps...

Having just experienced what happened on the ship, she was probably no longer on guard.

Why not strike while the iron is hot and solidify the relationship?

If he doesn't respond, won't he seem like a block of wood?

Therefore, there's no time like the present, so Ye Chenyang decided to do it tonight!

He had planned this all along, but when it came to actually doing it, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

We can't rush things; we have to take it one step at a time.

He thought for a moment and then randomly picked a topic to start with.

"How was your day?"

Jiang Mian wiped her mouth and tilted her head slightly.

"Harvest? It's alright. At least I won't go hungry for the next few months."

Without giving it much thought, she added:

Even if I run out of those "fish", someone will help me restock.

Even the ones I picked up last time haven't been used up much yet, and I still have almost two hands full of fifth-tier cores.

When she decides to sell some, it will be enough for her to make a small profit.

These resources are almost inexhaustible; even if you sell the fifth-tier items, you can still replenish them because of the sea.

After being poor for so long, I'm finally rich.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

She originally just wanted to live a peaceful life, but now she not only has security but can also live a comfortable life, and she has hope for the future.

"Yes, that's good."

Ye Chenyang reached out and naturally placed his hand on her shoulder.

This time, she didn't resist; she even moved a little closer to him.

His eyes lit up, and he leaned closer.

A hot breath suddenly brushed against her neck, and Jiang Mian shuddered as if a switch had been flipped, instinctively squeezing her legs together.

"Brother Ye, don't get so close, it tickles."

Ye Chenyang responded softly, turned her head, and looked at the desktop that she had cleaned up spotlessly.

He could tell that she flinched just now; perhaps he had unintentionally touched a sensitive spot.

He turned his gaze back to Jiang Mian, and seemingly unintentionally leaned close to her ear, whispering:

"Shall we go back to our usual spot again? Hmm?"

"well."

Jiang Mian nodded repeatedly.

After paying the bill, the two held hands and walked onto the familiar hillside path.

She certainly realized something was wrong.

Did she provoke this guy? His tone is different from usual.

Just now, Ye Chenyang tried to hug her; it was a proactive attempt to test the waters.

But what happened next was truly sudden.

After all, Jiang Mian had never been in close contact with anyone before and didn't know that she was so ticklish.

He even deliberately moved closer to me!

Oh no, could it be...?

Thinking of this, even though Jiang Mian prided himself on his composure, his breathing inevitably became a little erratic.

When she decided to gradually accept it, she had already considered that there would be some intimate contact.

After all, when you like someone, both soul and body are indispensable.

It would be strange if Ye Chenyang really didn't have any thoughts about it.

It wasn't that she couldn't accept it, but rather that she found it somewhat surreal.

Ultimately, isn't it just that I feel empty inside?

She enjoyed the pleasure of teasing him while also being captivated by his affection for her...

And just like that, without realizing it, I fell into it.

Oh well, as long as I'm comfortable, that's all that matters.

Since you don't resist it in your heart, and even enjoy it, you should definitely respond in some way.

Jiang Mian felt that teasing was just teasing, adding a little fun, but keeping someone hanging on would be a different matter altogether.

As for more intimate matters, we'll talk about them when we're ready to accept them.

After all, Ye Chenyang always goes along with her, so she feels like she's the one in control now.

Before long, the two reached the edge of the highlands, the very spot where Ye Chenyang had sent out the Sun Mark that night.

Ye Chenyang walked up to Jiang Mian, his back to the platinum moon.

His expression appeared calm, but his slightly accelerated heartbeat betrayed that he was not as composed as he seemed.

"It's coming!"

A strange glint flashed in Jiang Mian's eyes.

She always felt that even if her personality changed, she would never be a normal girl.

In such a situation, although one's emotions may fluctuate, it's impossible to panic.

But now, she felt a strange tightness in her heart, along with a sliver of anticipation.

In truth, the two of them had long considered each other as one of their own, but they had never said it out loud.

If he really is... then what kind of relationship will the two of them have in the future?

"Jiang Mian."

Finally, Ye Chenyang spoke softly and took her hand.

"Are we still friends now?"

Clearly, he had never forgotten the question Jiang Mian had asked earlier.

"Um."

Jiang Mian nodded, her heart inexplicably racing. Then, a golden light appeared in her eyes, and the corners of her eyes sparkled as if she had put on makeup.

However, Ye Chenyang only slightly moved his eyes and continued:

"But I think I'm being a little greedy. I want... to get a little closer to you, okay?"
