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

Jiang Mian and Zhao Mangshan went around and finally released all the cores they had previously seized.

In contrast, the warehouses in the first defense zone were overflowing like never before.

Moreover, the more goods he released, the more agitated this sixth-level member of the Zhao family became.

However, he kept it to himself and didn't show it.

"Inspector Jiang."

When Jiang Mian finished emptying the last warehouse, Zhao Mangshan suppressed his emotions and bowed deeply.

"Thank you for your help!"

"You're welcome."

Jiang Mian raised his hand and used "wind" to lift his body up.

She had already made a lot of money from selling the previous batch of cores, so a little more wouldn't hurt. Handing over the stolen goods would actually add points to the mission.

Although Jiang Mian has basically no other needs besides becoming stronger,

But she heard that as long as the contribution meets the standard, there is a chance to exchange it for certain top-grade alien remains.

Jiang Mian was quite curious about this kind of thing.

Since the power of [Formless] can raise the upper limit of [Heavenly Punishment], what about the Pinnacle of the Strange Corpse?

If the quality of the material itself is higher, can it be smelted into something even more amazing?

Perhaps it was some inexplicable collecting obsession at work, but Jiang Mian always felt that these things were destined for her.

Even if I don't need it myself, it's fine to let Ye Chenyang play with it.

Jiang Mian has always been very generous to her own people, let alone her husband Ye Chenyang.

Seeing Zhao Mangshan standing there in a daze, she waved her hand and said:

"You go ahead and get busy."

"yes!"

Zhao Mangshan saluted, then added:

"We have arranged temporary accommodation for you, which has already been sent to your equipment. You can move in at any time if you need to rest."

"Okay, I understand."

Zhao Mangshan then left with peace of mind.

Jiang Mian flashed into the [world], and when he came out, he had changed his clothes.

She put away her slightly formal uniform jacket, changed her clothes underneath into a shirt, and wore dark blue straight-leg jeans.

Jiang Mian put her glasses back on and changed her hairstyle to a low ponytail, which made her look softer.

There was no other way; she didn't have many clothes or accessories, so this was the only option for now.

She had overheard the entire conversation through the save point in Ye Chenyang's pocket, so she naturally knew how to cooperate next.

But when did this guy start playing tricks on people?

This is really funny.

I wonder what his brothers' expressions will be when the truth comes out.

Jiang Mian curled the corners of her lips and sat on the steps to the side, quietly waiting for the actors to enter.

Almost there...

Stir-fried pork with chili peppers, a fruit platter, and a black pepper steak?

……

Ye Chenyang led the two through a wall and immediately saw the girl sitting on the steps.

She looked down at the ground, her hands clasped in front of her, appearing quite reserved.

Ye Chenyang felt a moment of disorientation, as if time had flowed back to when the two of them first met.

Back then, she was quiet, well-behaved, and understanding, which made people feel sorry for her.

He was unable to extricate himself from this situation...

Qin Xiao saw his anxious expression and believed his earlier words even more.

Xiao Shuang peeked in cautiously and scratched his head.

Am I thinking too badly of people?

The three men had different expressions and soon arrived in front of Jiang Mian.

Sensing someone approaching, Jiang Mian suddenly raised her head, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes.

"Brother Ye!"

Upon seeing that it was Ye Chenyang, her eyes lit up, and her joy was evident.

But as soon as she met his gaze, Jiang Mian seemed to remember something, lowered her eyes to look at the ground, her movements showing a hint of fear.

This smooth combo left not only Ye Chenyang stunned, but also Qin Xiao and Xiao Shuang behind him.

Xiao Shuang had some doubts before, but now she is completely convinced.

This temperament... is so gentle! And it carries a hint of timid awkwardness and bewilderment.

Brother, you're eating so well?

"that……"

Jiang Mian mustered her courage and raised her head to look at Xiao Shuang.

"Brother Ye, who is this?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shuang stepped forward and said cheerfully:

"Hello, I'm Xiao Shuang."

Hello!

Jiang Mian greeted them, her movements somewhat stiff, as if she wasn't used to interacting with strangers.

She turned her head slightly and greeted Qin Xiao in return.

The two had a brief encounter in Base City 7, but things didn't go as planned and nothing came of it.

Qin Xiao smiled and waved his hand:

"Don't be shy, we're all family."

However, these words seemed to have touched a nerve.

Jiang Mian glanced quickly at the three of them, seemingly guessing something. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but she ultimately didn't speak.

Qin Xiao and Xiao Shuang exchanged a glance, seemingly puzzled.

"You guessed it already?"

Because of Ye Chenyang's previous words, neither of them directly introduced their abilities, for fear of scaring Jiang Mian.

Even so, she immediately noticed something was wrong.

No wonder Lao Ye couldn't keep it a secret!

"Mianmian."

Ye Chenyang called out softly and took a few steps forward, but Jiang Mian subconsciously shrank back.

The amplitude was extremely small, but since everyone present was at the fifth level, they could see it clearly.

Seemingly to avoid embarrassing Ye Chenyang, she stopped retreating and allowed Ye Chenyang to take her hand.

"I have something I want to tell you, is that alright?"

"Um."

Jiang Mian's voice was barely audible, but she did not resist anymore.

Qin Xiao and Xiao Shuang exchanged a glance, then discreetly withdrew from Jiang Mian's sight and observed from the shadows.

……

After a short while, Ye Chenyang finally "persuaded" Jiang Mian.

Qin Xiao heard it clearly through the "wind".

It's less about reasoning and more about coaxing and cajoling, like trying to get a child to take medicine.

Jiang Mian first shook her head, then bit her lip and remained silent for a long time before finally nodding very slightly.

"It's done."

Xiao Shuang nudged Qin Xiao with her elbow and lowered her voice.

"It's your turn."

"Okay, I'm going then!"

Qin Xiao straightened the collar of his combat uniform, then strode forward.

After standing in front of the two, he exchanged a glance with Ye Chenyang and nodded.

"Let's begin."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian tensed up slightly, his hands feeling unsure of what to do.

"take it easy."

Qin Xiao smiled, raised his left hand, and a colorful rune appeared in his palm.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt too much."

"Let me make this clear beforehand: although my [Elemental Edict] can break through the limit of talent, ultimately it still depends on yourself."

Jiang Mian stared blankly at the colorful rune.

The moment it appeared, a long-lost desire to devour arose in his core, as if he had seen a super nourishing substance he had never seen before.

Looks like we made the right choice.

Just follow your instincts, you can't go wrong!

"...Thank you, I will try my best."

"You're welcome."

Qin Xiao joked:

"Just remember to invite me to any weddings you attend in the future. Come on, raise your hand."

Jiang Mian blushed, as if she were shy, and softly hummed in agreement, then followed his instructions and extended her hand.

As if sensing something, the edict floated up on its own, drawing a graceful arc in the air before disappearing into Jiang Mian's palm.

However, Jiang Mian's body suddenly stiffened.

Her eyes quickly became unfocused, as if all her strength had been drained away, and she slumped backward.

"Mianmian!"

……

Jiang Mian seemed to feel her consciousness floating, yet her eyelids felt unusually heavy.

The "body" seemed to be rising in a void, or falling, with a very disordered sense of direction.

After what seemed like an eternity, my eyelids finally started to feel less heavy.

She opened her eyes abruptly, but felt a sudden tightness in her chest.

In the boundless void, two wisps of gas, one black and one white, were prominently displayed, forming a magnificent "Tai Chi diagram".

What's even more chilling is this "Tai Chi diagram"...

He seems to be looking at her?!
