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

Xu Xiaoan made several turns and eventually entered a small grove of trees.

"There shouldn't be anyone here anymore, right?"

She hid behind a tree, pretending to look around, and thought to herself:

"Sister Mian? Really want to eat it?"

"Hmm, ignore them."

Xu Xiaoan only felt relieved when Jiang Mian's voice rang in the depths of her consciousness.

Just now when she arrived, Jiang Mian reminded her that someone was following her, but did not ask her to do anything, only saying to do whatever she wanted.

Xu Xiaoan rummaged through his pockets, took out five second-tier cores, and wiped them clean one by one.

Once she felt completely clean inside, she picked up one of the pearls, popped it into her mouth, and swallowed it whole.

"You don't feel anything?"

Xu Xiaoan was stunned for a moment, feeling as if she had just drunk some water, and instead felt even hungrier, her stomach starting to rumble.

She swallowed three more cores before she felt a little full.

"What are you doing?"

Just as Xu Xiaoan was about to eat the last one, a strange voice suddenly came to her ear.

Even though she was prepared, she was still startled.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough and had already put the last core in my mouth, so I just had to swallow it.

Xu Xiaoan turned around, pretending nothing had happened, and looked at the person who had come in.

It was a girl, dressed in sportswear, who looked like a student like her.

Her outfit was quite sophisticated, with a touch of red highlights in her hair, adding a rebellious air to her look.

"Who are you?!"

Xu Xiaoan was somewhat unsure of himself, but still bluffed and said:

"It's so late at night, it's terrifying!"

The girl with the highlights didn't say anything, but a cryptic smile played on her lips as she slowly walked towards her.

"You, you stay away!"

A hint of panic flashed in Xu Xiaoan's eyes as he made a move to reach into his pocket for a weapon.

A stranger suddenly appears in the middle of the night and approaches you with a strange expression; the level of horror is almost like a disaster.

Unexpectedly, the girl actually stopped and didn't come any closer.

"My name is Xu Le, what's yours?"

"I... Xu Xiaoan."

Xu Xiaoan answered subconsciously, but then realized that this person was up to no good, so she quickly shut her mouth.

Were you eating something just now?

Xu Le lowered his voice, as if he had seen everything.

"No way!"

Xu Xiaoan shook his head anxiously, but when he thought of Jiang Mian supporting him, he immediately perked up again.

"You must have seen wrong!"

"Oh?"

Xu Le narrowed his eyes and mercilessly exposed her:

"I am Sequence 32, [Heart Image], you can't fool me. You just consumed the Calamity Core, didn't you?"

Seeing that Xu Xiaoan remained silent, she continued to apply pressure:

"Are you a patient suffering from the disease? Or... a calamity?"

"I'm not! Don't talk nonsense!"

Xu Xiaoan said, her neck stiff:

"I just... I just saw something strange and came in out of curiosity!"

"What is it?"

Xu Le crossed his arms, still smiling, but his heart was wavering.

She is also a member of the Boundless Gate, but she has only been a member for a short time and is too young, so she is not usually assigned any tasks.

Yuan Qi had just sent Xu Le to investigate Xu Xiaoan's situation, but she couldn't see anything strange about it.

Aside from that sneaky act of devouring the core just now.

This person is a top-tier existence!

But why does she exude such innocent stupidity that it doesn't seem like she's acting?

I don't understand.

Xu Le decided to test the waters a bit more; if that didn't work, he would have Yuan Qi take a more forceful approach.

He was nearby, so it would be convenient for him to take action.

Meow~

A cat's meow suddenly came from the darkness deep in the woods.

Xu Le couldn't help but look over, and in the darkness, two small golden dots could be seen appearing and disappearing.

"See? See?"

Seeing that her attention had been diverted, Xu Xiaoan immediately realized:

"Isn't it strange that there are cats here?"

Xu Le ignored him, turned his head slightly, and looked at a dark spot next to him as if seeking help.

The meaning in their eyes is quite clear:

The other party is vehemently denying it; let's get straight to the point.

Receiving her signal, the surrounding trees rustled.

The once quiet plants began to writhe as if they were alive, and the vines grew wildly, completely sealing off the forest.

"This is……"

Xu Xiaoan was stunned.

"field."

Xu Le added, observing Xu Xiaoan's expression, but still couldn't see any flaws.

What time is it, and they're still acting?

A steady footstep echoed in the darkness.

Then, Yuan Qi slowly walked out from there.

His domain is called "All Plants Are Soldiers," which allows him to perfectly blend his own aura with these plants and to freely control the plants within the domain.

Moreover, even if you enter his domain, as long as the difference in level is no more than one rank, you will not be able to sense his presence.

Yuan Qi stood beside Xu Le and politely said:

"Lord Wuxiang, please stop acting. Our sect leader has something to ask you, could you perhaps..."

"Who is without form?"

Following Jiang Mian's instructions, Xu Xiaoan continued to play dumb, subconsciously taking a few steps back, only to feel a sudden tightness under her feet.

She looked down and saw that her ankles were completely entangled by the wildly growing vines.

Seeing that Xu Xiaoan's expression didn't seem fake, Yuan Qi narrowed his eyes and continued to ask:

"If you are not [Formless], then who are you?"

"I'm Xu Xiaoan!"

She said confidently:

"Are you all out of your minds?! I'm just an ordinary second-tier [Phantom Spirit], is it really worth causing me trouble?"

Yuan Qi: "..."

Xu Le: "..."

After being scolded, Yuan Qi felt nothing at all.

It really doesn't have much of a killing power; it's just like a child throwing a tantrum.

But she is [Formless]!

Would your own boss lie to you?

No, that's not right, Xu Xiaoan definitely has a problem!

Yuan Qi suddenly noticed that the panic in her eyes just now seemed genuine, but at some point, that fear had mysteriously disappeared.

Even when I appeared, I no longer felt any fear.

He clearly remembered what that person had said to him when he took over the mission:

The identity of Xu Xiaoan was created out of thin air; it was tailor-made for [Wuxiang]. It is impossible for a so-called Xu Xiaoan to actually exist.

Therefore, even if she is not truly [Formless], she is definitely inextricably linked to [Formless]!

Yuan Qi pondered for a moment, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"I'm sorry."

Before he could finish speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Xu Xiaoan by the neck.

They were polite in words, but their actions were ruthless.

Xu Xiaoan's eyes widened instantly, her toes gradually lifted off the ground, and her breathing was completely cut off.

"Hmm!"

She instinctively struggled, desperately pounding on Yuan Qi's arm with both hands.

But the difference between the fifth and second tiers is like an insurmountable chasm; those blows landing on him were less than a tickle.

"save……"

Before the cry for help could be sent, the shadow beneath their feet began to surge violently.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Qi's pupils contracted, and almost instinctively shook off Xu Xiaoan, pulling Xu Le aside.

The next second, a black beam of light suddenly shot out from the shadow!

The beam of light passed through his original position and blasted straight into the dense forest behind him.

Vines, trees, grass...

Everything was completely eroded by that shadowy power, turning into nothingness, leaving a deep trench in the ground.

Xu Xiaoan's body was gently caught by the surging shadows and slowly laid down on the ground, seemingly losing consciousness.

And a crow had appeared in her arms without her noticing.

It quietly looked at Yuan Qi and Xu Le, tilting its head slightly.

"Oh, Sister Mian, I feel so bad."

"Don't cry, sweetie. You go to sleep for a while, I'll take care of the rest."

"All right."

Xu Xiaoan relaxed her body and lay limply on the ground as if she had really fainted.

"You, you are... "

Yuan Qi stammered.

The golden crow raised its head, its golden eyes seemingly emitting a faint light in the darkness.

Amidst their astonished gazes, it spoke:

"Heh, guess."
