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

Seeing Qin Shou's "shy" expression as he clung to the burly old Dong, Jiang Mian couldn't help but cover her face.

It's unbearable to look at.

Is it because she's been out of touch with reality for too long, or is this just the way things are in this world?

Since transmigrating here, Jiang Mian has hardly seen any normal couples.

Well, it's only the sixth rank, there's no need for her to get serious.

Following Qin Shou's gaze, Old Dong's eyes lit up when he saw Jiang Mian's appearance.

"Her?"

"Yes! Just her!"

He then relaxed, released Qin Shou, stepped forward, and revealed his sixth-order aura.

His height of over two meters was enough for him to look down at Jiang Mian from above, which seemed quite intimidating.

Even though Jiang Mian had increased her height to 1.7 meters, she still looked exceptionally petite.

"Young lady, once you're here, you have to follow our rules. Whatever we say goes. Even if you're different from others, you have to obediently accept it, understand?"

Jiang Mian raised her head, coldly staring back at him, and said firmly:

"I'm not paying, what can you do about it?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people behind them changed, and they retreated over a hundred meters in one breath.

"How is it?"

Old Dong grinned, revealing a ferocious smile.

"Looks like you're going to have to suffer the consequences instead of accepting the offer."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he suddenly sprang up, the metal spikes on his finger cots flashing with a blood-red light, hurtling towards Jiang Mian!

If that punch lands, even a sixth-level Awakened, let alone a fifth-level one, would suffer greatly.

In his view, a mere fifth-tier opponent could be easily crushed with physical strength.

However, before Lao Dong could get close, the surrounding rain turned into layers of ice crystals, and the cold air blurred Lao Dong's vision.

"Snap! Snap!"

He plunged headlong into the curtain of icy rain, his fists easily tearing through the ice, but he lost his target.

At the same time, the surrounding cold intensified, and the icy fog gradually obscured the view.

Old Dong was startled, feeling as if he had stepped into a quagmire, and his body became heavier.

This level of elemental erosion, while not harmful, severely limits its speed.

Keep in mind that he is a sixth-tier [Broken Army], who has a certain degree of "tenacity" by his own, and can even reduce the effect of control skills of the same tier by 30%!

Does a fifth-tier [Winter] possess this kind of control?

This number is wrong!

"call out!"

Just then, an ice spear shot out from the depths of the icy mist.

Old Dong roared, a cloud of blood mist bursting from his body as he forcibly accelerated, narrowly missing the other.

However, just as he dodged the ice spear, Jiang Mian's figure appeared in front of him as if by teleportation, his right hand already covered with a ferocious ice crystal arm guard.

Faced with this punch that exuded a chilling aura, Old Dong's expression changed drastically.

The aura emanating from him was clearly only at the fifth level, so why did every attack make his heart tremble involuntarily?!

Old Dong was about to dodge when a layer of ice crystals suddenly formed on his body, rendering him unable to move.

"not good!"

"Bang!"

Outside the icy fog, everyone was staring intently inside, trying to see what was happening, when suddenly a loud bang was heard.

Immediately afterwards, Old Dong's body flew backward and embedded itself deeply into the city wall.

"Hiss~"

When they saw his miserable state, everyone gasped in shock.

His once full chest visibly caved in, indicating that he was taking in more air than exhaling.

Even the four-star soft armor he was wearing was shattered into pieces!

"This is... [Ice Explosion]?"

After reaching Tier 3, [Winter] will gain this skill, which grants the 'Shatter Ice' effect when attacking targets controlled by ice, increasing damage.

"Ice Explosion has this kind of power?"

"I can't reach it."

"Hey, forget about the skills, we can't afford to mess with this powerful [Winter]. Step back, step back!"

The crowd retreated another hundred meters, clearing out a large area.

Some people have already slipped away, while others are still craning their necks to watch the spectacle.

"Click, click..."

Jiang Mian stepped on the broken ice and coldly looked at the three guards at the gate.

Qin Shou squatted down next to Old Dong and examined him with trembling hands.

Although he was not dead yet, his blood and qi had been completely frozen, making him look like a piece of frozen meat just taken out of the refrigerator.

Given the recovery ability of a sixth-tier awakened being, it will probably take them a while to recover.

During this time, Jiang Mian could do whatever she wanted.

After all, even a sixth-tier [Breaking Army] is no match for him, so what can he do?

"right……"

Qin Shou raised his head, attempting to beg for mercy.

But the next second, he was kicked away hard, and his whole body flew towards Jiang Mian like a cannonball.

Jiang Mian grabbed his head with his icy claw in his right hand.

Under the impact, Qin Shou's fragile neck made a crisp "crack" sound as it snapped at a ninety-degree angle.

She looked up and saw that the two guards had already run more than a hundred meters away.

One person kicks someone, while another applies a speed buff; it's as if they've rehearsed it countless times.

"..."

Jiang Mian's lips twitched.

The two of them entered the wilderness; they either ran away or went to get reinforcements.

Unable to return to the city and without supplies, even a fifth-tier warrior would almost certainly die, while the latter would eventually come back for him.

She ignored the two men, turned around, and casually cast a freeze spell on Qin Shou and Lao Dong.

With a crisp sound, the two people who had been turned into ice sculptures exploded into ice shards all over the ground.

"Phew—I feel refreshed."

Jiang Mian snapped his fingers and swaggered into the city.

Let them die together; that would be a way of fulfilling the fate of this ill-fated couple.

Watching Jiang Mian's retreating figure, the people in line remained silent for a moment before bursting into gasps of surprise.

"Hurry up and get into town! What are you waiting for!"

"Yes, yes, no toll fees! Awesome!"

"Charge!!!"

The crowd surged in, trampling the ice on the ground into the mud, where it gradually melted and was no longer noticed.

……

Jiang Mian ignored them and turned straight into the shadows of a building.

"Have you had enough fun?"

Ye Chenyang gave a wicked smile and patted her head.

"uh-huh."

Jiang Mian slightly raised her chin.

"But Brother Ye, I'm still not used to you doing this."

"What's not quite right?"

Ye Chenyang tilted his head, the curve of his mouth becoming increasingly strange, even the scar on his cheek distorted slightly.

Jiang Mian straightened the corners of his mouth and complained:

"That's so weird, it makes me want to punch you."

"How about this?"

Ye Chenyang's smile vanished, replaced by his usual cold and sinister expression.

"It's...it's alright, isn't it?"

Jiang Mian scratched his face and looked away guiltily.

She didn't know how Ye Chenyang felt when she saw her changed appearance, but she always felt a sense of incongruity.

Jiang Mian changed the subject:

"Brother Ye, how about I change my face again to avoid them causing trouble?"

"Need not."

Ye Chenyang shook his head.

"The strength you've displayed is enough to attract the attention of their higher-ups, and they might even try to recruit you. Why not try to infiltrate their ranks?"

"Remember Chen Xu? The one you encountered when you were digging up the remains of [Formless]. And those two twins you killed in Base City Five."

"Oh?"

After his reminder, Jiang Mian remembered.

"Are they all members of the Revenant Hunters?"

"Um."

Ye Chenyang nodded.

"This organization is essentially a mercenary organization; they'll take any job as long as the pay is good enough."

"However, some of their high-ranking members have probably already been manipulated by Wangchuan and are now working specifically for them."
