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

Jiang Mian's voice trailed off slightly, her tone delicate and sweet, making Ye Chenyang's heart pound with desire.

He swallowed hard, and his whole body shone like a bright light bulb, radiating a golden glow.

Seeing this, Jiang Mian not only didn't restrain himself, but instead moved even closer.

This guy actually falls for that?

After all, this situation only happened on the day I confessed my feelings.

"Ha, men!"

Jiang Mian put her hands on her hips and made a "control" gesture in her mind.

"Brother Chenyang~ Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Mianmian, I..."

Ye Chenyang's throat tightened, and the power of [Radiance] within his body seemed to be ignited, which he found difficult to suppress for a moment.

This little devil, is he doing this on purpose?

"What?"

Jiang Mian put on an innocent expression, sat on his lap, and gently drew circles on his chest with her fingertips.

However, the next second, Ye Chenyang suddenly reached out and grabbed her waist, a smirk playing on his lips.

That look in his eyes clearly said, "Finally, you've been fooled."

Jiang Mian's heart skipped a beat, but to save face, she forced herself to remain calm and said:

"Are you feeling unwell? Your face is so red..."

"Yes, I do feel a little uncomfortable."

Ye Chenyang said hoarsely:

"If we didn't get to taste the mini cakes, we might have died of hunger here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his head and pressed himself against me without saying a word.

Jiang Mian felt that Ye Chenyang was like he was on fire today, his whole body was hot and his aura was particularly strong.

The progress seems to be faster than expected?

Before she could think much, she quickly succumbed to Ye Chenyang's advances.

After a tender moment, Ye Chenyang reluctantly parted ways.

Jiang Mian blushed and lay on his chest, refusing to move an inch.

The arrogance she had just displayed had vanished, replaced by a flushed face and slightly burning ear tips.

Ye Chenyang looked down at the limp little cake in his arms, a smile unconsciously curving his lips as he gently stroked her back with his fingertips.

"Mianmian, will you dare to do it again next time? Aren't you afraid I'll really eat you up? Hmm?"

"What's there to be afraid of!"

Jiang Mian raised her head and forced herself to speak:

"Brother Ye, we agreed that it wouldn't be possible before level six. If you really can't resist, you'll lose first."

Actually, it's not that we can't be flexible.

But since there was an agreement in advance, it's best to abide by it.

She wouldn't bring up this promise unless absolutely necessary.

But Ye Chenyang's gaze was definitely off; it felt like he was about to take her right there and then.

To be honest, Jiang Mian was still a little uneasy.

She's not ready yet. What if she makes a really embarrassing mistake?

Seeing Jiang Mian acting like he was on top of the world, Ye Chenyang couldn't stop smiling.

It was just a verbal agreement, yet she took it so seriously; wasn't that a sign of her trust in herself?

"Who said I was going to take advantage of you and leave?"

He freed his hand and pinched Jiang Mian's cheek.

"Just a small taste."

"..."

Jiang Mian glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't say anything more.

When that day actually comes, I'll see how I "oppress" him!

She turned around, beckoned with her finger, and pulled over the bubbles in the sea that were used to hold the materials.

"Huh, it's still pretty fresh?"

Inside the transparent box, the scarlet flesh was still writhing, as if struggling to escape.

Whether they are high-level awakened beings or high-level calamities, their vitality is quite tenacious.

Even if the core is removed and the body is cut into pieces, it won't die in a short time.

Especially the berserker type like [Trapped Beast].

Its abilities are mostly focused on its physical body, which makes this situation even more obvious.

Thanks to Ye Chenyang's deliberate preservation efforts, the loss was minimal.

Jiang Mian tentatively opened one of the boxes and activated his ability.

The orange-gold flames emitted a strange, colorful light, and quickly burned the piece of flesh to ashes.

Feeling unsatisfied, she opened the box containing the core of the calamity.

Such a huge seventh-tier calamity, yet its core is only the size of a billiard ball?

Jiang Mian did not hesitate and immediately set fire to the core point.

But the next second, she couldn't help but look troubled.

"Ugh~"

That power was like honey concentrated a thousand times over; after being absorbed by the core, it continued to dissipate, rushing straight to the brain.

It's so concentrated that you can even taste the flavor?

Fortunately, this stuff doesn't have any mental impact; it's just a large quantity.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her expression, Ye Chenyang couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

Will it upset my stomach?

"N-nothing..."

Jiang Mian covered her mouth, trying to suppress the nausea brought on by the sweetness.

"It's just too sweet, so sweet it's almost intoxicating."

Can you still taste the flavor after absorbing it with flame?

A hint of heartache flashed in Ye Chenyang's eyes as he reached out and patted her back.

I wonder what calamity and awakened beings taste like to Jiang Mian?

However, judging from her attitude towards me, I must smell good.

Perhaps once I reach the sixth level, my senses will return to normal?

To avoid waste, Jiang Mian enabled the sharing permissions for the extra core and the Golden Crow.

"call--"

She let out a long breath and felt much more relaxed.

If fully absorbed, in addition to the main body which has already reached its peak, there is also the Golden Crow that is in sync with the main body, and those cores should also be able to reach the mid-to-late stages.

If we calculate it that way, two [trapped beasts] should be enough.

These are just supplementary ingredients; the "celestial forces" and elements are the main components.

Jiang Mian turned to look at Ye Chenyang and smiled brightly:

"Brother Ye, let's work together these next few days and try to level up as soon as possible?"

"good!"

……

The sky was getting dark.

Zhao Mangshan dragged his tired body to the courtyard where Zhao Niugao lived.

He looked up at the simple building, vaguely sensing that something was amiss, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Zhao Mangshan felt increasingly heavy-hearted and went forward to knock on the door.

"Thump, thump, thump!"

The crisp sound echoed in the night, but there was no movement inside the door.

"Not here?"

As a sixth-tier [Roaring Sky], he is very sensitive to sound.

According to the rotation schedule, the old man should be resting these few days!

"Squeak—"

Just as Zhao Mangshan was pondering to himself, the door opened.

Zhao Niugao sat in the main hall, his posture still upright, his face as usual, showing no signs of anything amiss.

"Python Mountain? Come in."

Suppressing his unease, Zhao Mangshan stepped into the room and sat down in a seat to the side.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhao Mangshan couldn't help but bring up the incident of his heart palpitations.

The person in front of me was indeed the old man himself, and he remembered even the smallest details of his past clearly.

"It's probably my problem."

Zhao Niugao shook his head, revealing the aura of a peak seventh-tier cultivator, yet he appeared somewhat listless.

"The Blood Sea has become increasingly active lately, so forcibly breaking through is a last resort."

Bloodline inherently influences the abilities of awakened individuals, and given that the "power" of a family is interconnected, it's perfectly normal to sense something.

Then, he changed the subject:

"This is where I've reached the pinnacle of my career. The emergence of this peak marks the beginning of a new era. You young people will have many more opportunities ahead..."

"is that so?"

Zhao Mangshan was puzzled; something seemed amiss.

But the old man spoke with such sincerity that he chose to believe him.

After Zhao Niugao finished his rambling, he stood up and bowed solemnly.

"Rest assured, sir, Mangshan will certainly live up to your expectations!"

"Go."

Zhao Niugao waved wearily, watching Zhao Mangshan leave.

The instant the door closed, a strange red light flashed in his left eye, and a mechanical clicking sound came from his heart.

A hint of reluctance flashed in Zhao Niugao's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by indifference. He murmured softly:

"Yu Zhengmo, you deserve to die..."
