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

"Okay, Brother Ye, you don't need to answer. I was just asking casually."

Jiang Mian spoke softly, with a hint of triumphant smile hidden beneath her words.

Although she was intentionally teasing him, Ye Chenyang didn't suspect anything beneath her gentle exterior.

On the contrary, her current gesture of raising her hand and touching her head seemed to be filtered through a lens in his eyes, making her look adorable no matter how he looked at her.

"Um."

Ye Chenyang followed her lead, lowered his head slightly, rested his face on her shoulder, and let her stroke his hair. His hands also gently fell down and wrapped around her waist.

Because of his exceptional mental strength, he is often able to capture subtle details that are difficult to notice.

For example, right now, her pulse is being felt through that thin layer of skin; it is steady and strong, but seems a little slower than that of an average person.

Is it a change in physical condition brought about by the ability?

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why she wouldn't let him touch her before.

People with common illnesses may worry about their abilities going out of control.

But at the pinnacle, the only thing that truly needs to be guarded against is the ability to subtly change one's self-awareness and physical state.

Habits are a terrible thing.

Even if the infected person insists that they are human, if this is not suppressed, they will gradually adapt to the afflicted body and eventually drift further and further away from being "human".

Judging from the golden eyes when he confessed his feelings, Jiang Mian should be able to easily suppress that "change," but some changes in his physical characteristics probably already exist.

Who would have thought that this gentle young girl was someone who could bring about the end of all life?

It treats not only humans equally, but also calamities.

Natural disasters represent the most violent, yet also the most impartial, forces of nature.

Putting aside the devastating "ultimate move" of the sixth-tier [Apocalypse], even now, the range and destructive power of her skills are probably far beyond imagination.

Jiang Mian felt his weight but did not back down.

Aside from that fleeting kiss, this was the first real physical intimacy, and it didn't seem as resistant as I had imagined.

It's just that my chin feels a bit prickly, and when it rubs against my shoulder, it's itchy.

Her outfit is off-the-shoulder, and the texture is exceptionally clear.

Although Ye Chenyang also loves cleanliness and keeps things tidy every day, there are bound to be some rough edges.

Jiang Mian lowered her eyes, her fingertips unconsciously playing with his hair, curling it up, wrapping it around her fingertips, and then letting it go.

I've heard that both people become childish during the course of a relationship.

Jiang Mian doesn't think she's become childish.

Like now, even though he's only been officially promoted for a short time, after a good night's sleep, when we meet again, it's like he's got another son.

In short, it felt somewhat strange.

But she couldn't quite explain exactly how it was so magical.

I wonder what it would look like from Ye Chenyang's perspective?

Are you already completely captivated by her?

She truly is a genius.

This kid is going to be completely under her thumb from now on!

The two nestled together quietly for a while before Ye Chenyang reluctantly straightened up.

There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so we can't be greedy for too long at once, lest we make her resist.

He pointed to the pendant on Jiang Mian's chest and asked:

"Have you tried the space inside?"

"Um."

Jiang Mian nodded.

"Brother Ye, is this feature... meant for other people to see?"

"Yes, it will be more convenient for you to access your things in the future, and you won't need to hide it."

As Ye Chenyang spoke, he took out the thing he had been carving earlier, a purple bracelet.

Jiang Mian also sensed a spatial fluctuation from above.

Because it was a semi-finished product, she could tell at a glance that the material of this thing was the core of calamity, which came from the [King of Cysts], but the original owner should only be at the fifth level.

What is this going to do?

Seemingly noticing her confusion, Ye Chenyang explained:

"When I came back before, Senior Xiao and I encountered a group of cyst kings. Although it was dangerous, we also gained something."

"Once I finish processing these items, it will be enough to buy a decent house in Base City 1."

"Huh?"

Buy...buy a house?!

Jiang Mian was taken aback. What was going on?

She had never thought about it; she just wanted a safe place to stay.

Seeing Jiang Mian's surprised expression, Ye Chenyang smiled:

"We just want to find a place to stay first. Once everything is settled, we can go wherever we want."

After all... he understood Jiang Mian and knew she didn't like being in such troublesome places.

However, this is now the second step of his plan. He has successfully confessed his feelings, and it is the time when his relationship is rapidly heating up.

What we need most right now is a place where we can live together long-term, and where everyone has their own private space.

Simply put, he was aiming for cohabitation.

With the technology and resources I have now, a decent place to stay is a piece of cake.

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Mian always felt that he had ulterior motives, but in the end, he just wanted to find a safe place to stay, which was not a problem.

Perhaps it was because she had been too complacent after her repeated successes in "teasing" him that Jiang Mian seemed to have forgotten that someone who appeared obedient was actually harboring malicious intentions.

She thought about it; she had quite a few Calamity Cores in her possession.

If you sell only fifth-tier "high-end" goods, although it's not as profitable as space equipment, it's still more than enough to make a quick buck, but it's too flashy.

Those who engage in this kind of high-end retail are usually large groups with special channels, so it's not realistic for her to go it alone.

But if you can find a way to become a "supplier"... that's a business with no investment and huge profits!

"By the way, Brother Ye."

Jiang Mian suddenly remembered the dragon horn lying in his space.

After the torrent 'transforms,' it won't need that thing anymore, and since she doesn't know how to use it properly, she might as well ask Ye Chenyang.

"I have something here, could you take a look at it for me?"

"Oh?"

Ye Chenyang raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Mian closed his eyes, his mind stirred slightly, and a ripple appeared in front of him, from which a sharp point surrounded by icy blue lightning emerged.

Ye Chenyang's expression froze for a moment.

The aura of an eighth-order calamity?!

Or is it the dragon horn that controls the most crucial element of lightning?

The fact that Jiang Mian was able to keep this item means that the current [Overthrowing the World] no longer needs it.

Has the 'transformation' already been completed...?

"Snapped!"

The instant the dragon horn tip appeared, all the electrical appliances in the room malfunctioned, clearly due to a power outage.

Jiang Mian blinked and quickly stuffed it back into her spatial storage.

She almost forgot that the dragon horn itself had the ability to store lightning elements, and its quantity was enough to attract all the nearby lightning to converge.

Anyway, she didn't plan to show everything; she just wanted him to peek at it.

If it were completely removed, it would be taller than the hotel building they're currently staying in; this small room definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.

She reached out and shook Ye Chenyang's arm.

"How is it, Brother Ye? Does it work?"

Looking into Jiang Mian's clear eyes filled with expectation, Ye Chenyang was momentarily speechless.

An organ of an eighth-order calamity is too high a level.

With his current strength, he can't even break through the defense.

To forge a heteromorphic weapon, one must be at least at the fifth rank, and even then, the strength might not be sufficient.

Although he was reluctant to admit his shortcomings in front of the girl he liked, he still chose to tell the truth.

After all, the person she trusts most right now is herself.
