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

After carefully examining Huo Hai's rather fleshy cheeks, Jiang Mian finally released his grip.

To be honest, having seen what Huo Hai originally looked like, seeing her now gives me a strange sense of stark contrast.

Perhaps... Ye Chenyang feels the same way about himself?

For some reason, during their mental connection, Jiang Mian clearly sensed a hint of disappointment in the other person.

As the [Calamity] behemoth with whom she has had the longest dominance relationship, coupled with the "gestation" of the sixth-order rebirth, the two can be said to be of one mind.

The emotions that Huo Hai conveyed to her, besides complete trust, also included a degree of dependence.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but secretly complain.

Why do they all want to recognize me as their mother?

Xu Xiaoan is like this, and so is Huo Hai.

Oh, if we're talking about the earliest one, we have to mention someone surnamed Ye.

Thinking about this, Jiang Mian felt a strange feeling in his heart.

What is this called? "Motherly love"?

It feels a bit far-fetched.

I was just pretending to be gentle...

Jiang Mian had never thought of such a thing before.

After all, she was originally a lonely person, and she didn't know how to love someone as a girl.

"A calamity."

Jiang Mian looked down at her and casually tidied her slightly messy hair.

"Would you like to go out and see the world?"

Huo Hai shook his head.

"Wherever the ruler is, that's where I will be. Even if I stay here forever, I'll be happy."

She still had a blank expression, but Jiang Mian could sense that she was speaking from the heart.

It would be a lie to say that such unconditional trust is not touching.

"Okay, I understand."

Jiang Mian smiled slightly, took her hand, and turned to look at Ye Chenyang:

"Brother Ye, come take a walk with me on the beach."

"good!"

These words seemed to have touched upon a deep memory. Ye Chenyang's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

He walked to the other side of Jiang Mian and took her hand.

Looking at the three people walking side by side in the distance, Hong Liu seemed even more depressed.

Why do I always feel like a dark worm spying on the happy life of a family of three?

That fathead fish, did it even resort to pretending to be a human cub and acting cute in order to gain the master's "favor"?

You really underestimated her!

Hong Liu's clandestine surveillance could not escape Jiang Mian's notice.

However, she was engrossed in role-playing and would deal with the matter of comforting her later.

Caught between the two, one big and one small, Jiang Mian felt a growing longing in his heart, and even... had that kind of thought.

She knew something was wrong with her, but she just couldn't help it.

If I really did get pregnant with Ye Chenyang's...

No, no, now is not the time!

Jiang Mian tilted her head slightly to look at Ye Chenyang's profile and asked:

"Brother Ye, when we have more free time in the future, let's settle down in Base City No. 7?"

Ye Chenyang paused for a moment, then smiled gently and said:

"Okay, whatever you say."

Although both of them knew perfectly well that this day might be a long way off, neither of them brought it up.

Huo Hai looked up at the two of them, his gaze shifting back and forth between them, feeling a little dizzy.

She didn't understand human emotions, and she understood even less what kind of riddle they were playing.

Never mind, she just needs to realize her own value.

The idea behind the disaster was very simple.

She can do any chores she's good at, and she can fight if she's good at it. When the ruler is in a bad mood, she might even use her looks to provide emotional support.

She heard the word from the old tortoise.

That guy seems to have learned a lot of new things, probably because the ruler is "human"?

Although Huo Hai has always stayed in the [World], he can "call" the two of them at any time through the save points left by Jiang Mian in the outside world, which is quite convenient.

By the way, since the Torrent clone is so eager to see me being so "favored," I'll definitely have to show off to its original form later!

Jiang Mian turned her gaze toward Huo Hai with suspicion.

Although she can see through Huo Hai's thoughts through mental connection, she will not do so unless it is an emergency.

Jiang Mian always regarded these intelligent calamity subordinates as "human beings".

As for the others, including Wangchuan and the others, they were just materials.

"Dominator~"

Huo Hai realized that he seemed to have gotten a little carried away, so he quickly grabbed Jiang Mian's arm and called out softly.

It seems like I've unlocked some incredible skill?

However, perhaps her instinct as a "fish" was too deeply ingrained, as her expression remained largely unchanged.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but laugh and comfort her at the same time:

"It's alright. You've been with me for so long, don't you know my personality?"

Huo Hai looked up at the gentle smile on her face, and something seemed to be secretly sprouting in his heart.

"Um!"

She nodded vigorously, still holding onto Jiang Mian's arm tightly.

The three walked a distance further, and Huo Hai instinctively sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat subtle, so he took the initiative to suggest returning to the sea to get used to his fish form.

In fact, the "fish" as its original form is already ingrained in its bones, so there is no need for it to adapt.

Jiang Mian didn't point it out, but let her leave.

When Huo Hai left, he also sent the nearby Hong Liu clones back, clearing out a space.

At this point, only Jiang Mian and Ye Chenyang remained on the beach.

She casually created a giant rock, then pulled Ye Chenyang to sit on it, leaning against him, gazing at the distant horizon, lost in thought.

"Brother Ye, when you gave me the Sun Mark, did you ever consider that I was just a guy pretending to be gentle, with a twisted heart?"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Mian suddenly asked.

"How could that be?"

Ye Chenyang pressed his ear against the top of her head, inhaling the delicate fragrance emanating from her hair, and said earnestly:

"You've always been kind, haven't you?"

Kindness? Me?

Looking into his clear eyes, Jiang Mian realized that he was telling the truth.

So this is how Ye Chenyang has always seen me?

"But... I never felt guilty when I killed people; it felt like stepping on a bunch of ants. Is that considered kindness?"

She decided to go all out.

Today is the perfect time; let's just say everything we've been meaning to say before.

"Of course. There are many things in life that are beyond our control."

"You are the 'apocalypse,' and could have disregarded human moral norms, but you did. You even exceeded the moral standards of most people."

Ye Chenyang patted Jiang Mian's head, his voice becoming increasingly gentle.

"Don't think about it so much, let bygones be bygones. Even if it's all fake, I'd be willing to be fooled by you for the rest of my life."

"What are you saying?!"

A hint of panic flashed in Jiang Mian's eyes.

Although what this guy said was a bit cheesy, why do I feel inexplicably satisfied?

Could I really fall for this?

Ye Chenyang didn't continue speaking, he just smiled foolishly.

After a while, Jiang Mian seemed to have figured it out and murmured something softly:

"Fine, then I'll lie to you for the rest of my life."

Then, she got up, straddled Ye Chenyang's lap, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Feeling the sweet scent so close to him, Ye Chenyang kissed her without hesitation.

The two kissed more passionately, their bodies pressed tightly together, greedily savoring each other's warmth.

They parted again after a long while.

Jiang Mian's cheeks were still flushed, and her lips were glistening with moisture, but she was unusually excited.

"Brother Ye, I...I..."

"Um."

Ye Chenyang's eyes lit up, a hint of anticipation rising within them.

"Shall I go take a shower?"

"……good."

He nodded and smiled helplessly.

He knew this move all too well.

Jiang Mian stood up and took two steps toward the villa area.

Seeing that Ye Chenyang seemed inexplicably disappointed, she curled up a sly smile.

"Together?"

"?!"
