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

In the city ruins, the lingering power of the violent thunder gradually dissipated, leaving a faint scent of ashes in the air.

"Okay, okay, Brother Ye, put me down quickly."

Jiang Mian kicked her legs in dissatisfaction.

Ye Chenyang smiled, released his grip, and let her stand back on the ground.

Jiang Mian rushed over a bit too fast and just scooped him into her arms.

"Ugh, how embarrassing."

Realizing what she had done, she felt a surge of excitement.

Over time, Jiang Mian had gradually gotten used to his scent, though she still couldn't help but swallow occasionally.

She had never told Ye Chenyang about this.

Fortunately, I've been eating well and in good spirits, which has helped me suppress that restless instinct.

The sun's mark can protect her spirit and maintain her rationality, but it cannot change the nature of "calamity".

I don't know what the future holds...

Jiang Mian quickly stopped herself from having such a dangerous thought.

Her relationship with Ye Chenyang is currently limited to holding hands and occasionally hugging.

Even the kiss was just a fleeting touch on the day I confessed my feelings, and it was only to tease him.

More intimate behavior is premature for the two of them at this stage.

Ye Chenyang's eyes flickered slightly as he looked down at her.

Her expression shifted from joy to bewilderment, and now she suddenly became shy and evasive.

Even if he's clueless when it comes to relationships, he can still guess what she's thinking.

His lips twitched, but he didn't say anything.

"Brother Ye, what's going on with this place?"

Jiang Mian noticed a strange smile in his eyes and quickly changed the subject.

"This is a small realm located outside the main world."

Ye Chenyang withdrew his gaze and briefly reviewed the relevant information.

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief, her attention successfully diverted.

No wonder this place is so strange.

It turned out to be a fragmented, enclosed little world, which had been tainted by the power of the first generation of [Formless], hence the pollution everywhere.

Although these forces are dispersed in the environment, they can also accumulate upwards like in a food chain.

In other words, the strongest beings in this world may have an extremely high concentration of power within their bodies, almost equivalent to an eighth-order [Formless] clone.

Even if it's weaker than a normal eighth-tier, it must still have some extraordinary abilities.

However, if they were to actually fight, she wouldn't be without a way to retaliate.

During his time in Base City No. 7, Jiang Mian had Hong Liu fill up the number of clones and store them all in his spatial storage.

Even if the opponent's strength exceeds expectations, it will still be enough to give him a hard time.

"So... what do we do next? Look for them?"

After finding Ye Chenyang, Jiang Mian was not in a hurry to leave.

There are no powerful officials watching over us here, so we can finally let loose.

Moreover, although those monks were weaker than normal fifth-level monks, they couldn't withstand the sheer number of them.

Thanks to the power left behind by [Formless], the patients in this place have some "fusion" characteristics.

Simply put, it means that you can rely on resources to force your way up to the fifth tier.

To Jiang Mian, they were simply a bunch of fat meat that could run away.

After these past few days of accumulation, and the delicious meal she just had, she's gotten much closer to the fifth rank.

"Yes. After we find them, we'll head south. It's a volcanic archipelago with no cities."

Ye Chenyang nodded, his gaze seemingly traversing a vast distance to reach the archipelago.

"Once things settle down, I'll try to find the coordinates of the main world."

The safest place is the one with [Doomsday] in the team.

The only paths that can be born in this small realm are [All Spirits], [Elements], and their corresponding [Death] and [Catastrophe].

However, due to the encroachment and invasion of external [chaos], traces of other calamities have become quite rare, and they basically only exist at the edge of the realm.

Those who can survive in such extreme environments either have special survival strategies or are strong enough.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian seemed to be deep in thought.

"volcano?"

She then gave a soft "hmm" in agreement.

Ye Chenyang patted her head gently and said:

"Let's set off now. Once we get to Base City One, we'll all live together in a big house, okay?"

"Huh?"

Although Jiang Mian knew he wanted to buy a house, she didn't think much of it at the time. With money to burn, it was reasonable for him to have a stable place to settle down.

This sudden turn of events reminded Jiang Mian that this guy's main purpose...could it be that he wants to live together?

She blinked, her mind racing.

It's not like it's unacceptable; it's not like we're sleeping in the same bed.

"Um……"

Seeing the burning gaze in Ye Chenyang's eyes, Jiang Mian pretended to ponder for a moment, then cleared her throat:

"Okay, okay."

Upon receiving her response, Ye Chenyang was overjoyed and scooped Jiang Mian up in his arms.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Jiang Mian instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, but before she could protest, a gust of wind whistled past her ears.

Then, the two transformed into a golden streak of light and vanished from their spot in an instant.

……

On the other side of the city.

"One sixth-order, eight fifth-order."

Yin Mengyao nestled in a corner, silently observing the monks not far away, estimating their ranks.

Shen Qiuyu stood close to her, not daring to breathe.

The monks were searching for them; their withered figures and tattered robes made them appear like ghosts in the light mist.

Strangely, when people passed by, they seemed to ignore their presence.

Shen Qiuyu understood that if it weren't for the mental protection of the person beside her, she would have been discovered long ago.

Even if you unexpectedly break through to the third rank when you enter this place, it's not enough.

Picking out any one of those weirdos would be enough to give her a tough fight.

Not to mention that the leader's level has reached the sixth rank, which is far beyond what she can handle at her current level.

Even though she was struggling to protect herself, Shen Qiuyu couldn't help but think of Jiang Mian.

This place is so dangerous, I hope she can stay with Ye Chenyang.

When defending the city, Jiang Mian was always alone, quiet and reserved. Even though he appeared gentle on the surface, he always maintained a slight distance from those around him.

Now that she has finally found her happiness, how can she easily die in a filthy place?

But Shen Qiuyu understood her situation and that she still needed someone to protect her, so she naturally couldn't bring herself to ask Yin Mengyao to find someone.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but clench her fists.

"I can't do anything."

The strength of a third-tier cultivator is still too weak.

Yin Mengyao's attention was entirely focused on the group of monks, and she had no idea what the people around her were thinking.

In this misty city, her mental strength was greatly weakened.

However, she could still vaguely sense the sun-like spiritual power in the distance.

Ye Chenyang?

This [Eternal Day] is indeed terrifyingly strong. He can open a domain at the fourth rank and even kill a sixth rank. Who would believe that?

But Yin Mengyao never places all her hopes on others; instead, she tries to save herself.

After several rounds of battle, she discovered that these strange people's vision mechanism was similar to that of the [Chaos] Calamity, relying on mental power to perceive their surroundings.

She happens to have the ability to shield herself from mental energy, so as long as she's careful, she'll be fine.

Unfortunately, there's still no news about two people.

Jiang Mian, who was clearly very close to [Eternal Day], and Xu Xiaoan, whom she casually saved at the time.

The latter is a second-tier [Phantom Dancer], which already has the ability to change faces. If used properly, it shouldn't be too easy for anything to go wrong.

Whether they can reunite depends on luck.

Yin Mengyao withdrew her gaze, intending to wait until the group of strange people had gone far away before leaving.

However, not long after, she heard a sharp whooshing sound coming from the sky.

What followed was a dazzling golden meteor.
