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

Chapter 435 Departure, The Sea of Red Spider Lilies

The next day.

"Ha~"

Jiang Mian pushed off the blanket and yawned.

Since the merger was successful, she hasn't had a proper rest, and last night she finally got a good night's sleep, something she hadn't done in a long time.

Although an eighth-level cultivator's energy is enough to sustain them for a year and a half, or even several years, doing it this way would still be mentally exhausting.

Yang Xin is a typical example.

Therefore, it's still important to rest when necessary.

But then again, this bed... was it something Ye Chenyang cleaned up after playing on the sofa all night?

Jiang Mian rubbed her eyes, lay back down, and automatically attached herself to the large heater next to her.

He originally intended to punish her, but as they played around, she ended up being conquered instead.

Jiang Mian was surprised to find that this guy had become so fierce after not seeing him for a month.

And for some reason, even after a night of cooling, my lower abdomen still felt faintly warm.

This has never happened before.

Could it be because Ye Chenyang's level has increased, and his power essence has also undergone a qualitative change?

Jiang Mian did not deliberately control it, allowing her body to absorb it slowly.

She looked up and met Ye Chenyang's smiling eyes.

"woke up?"

"Um."

Jiang Mian snuggled closer to him, her voice soft and sweet.

Once back in Base City One, the New World Project must be officially implemented.

But before that, she wanted to savor this hard-won peaceful time a little longer.

I'm not greedy; a few minutes is enough.

Seeing that Jiang Mian was unusually quiet, Ye Chenyang didn't say anything either, quietly enjoying the softness in his arms, his nose filled with her sweet scent.

After a long and tender moment, Jiang Mian finally got out of bed reluctantly, made herself a set of plain-colored underwear, and paired it with a black dress.

Compared to the white feather robe imbued with the power of [Annihilation], she actually preferred this outfit, which made her feel light and airy.

After Ye Chenyang finished packing, Jiang Mian smiled brightly and said:

"Brother Ye, shall we go?"

Ye Chenyang looked at her smile, his eyes flickered slightly, as if touching the softest part of his heart.

"it is good."

He nodded slightly, then reached out his hand and interlocked his fingers.

Jiang Mian blinked, her smile widening, and she responded by slightly bending her fingertips, as if they had returned to the time when they first met.

"Set off!"

……

Before long, the two arrived at Research Institute No. 1 and met Gu Yuanzhou, who was already waiting there.

Jiang Mian only just realized that this person was actually Elder Gu's biological son, Zhen Yuan, who was Sequence 17 and had already reached the eighth rank.

The reason he maintained his elderly appearance was actually to preserve his authority in public.

After all, many male high-level awakened individuals do this, behaving differently in public and in private, so it's not hard to understand.

However, this guy really overdid it; he looks older than his father.

"Please, both of you."

Gu Yuanzhou glanced at the dragon horns on Jiang Mian's head without making a sound, then looked away and led the way.

Jiang Mian nodded slightly and walked side by side with Ye Chenyang, following him into the elevator.

Learning from previous attacks, the materials collected by Research Institute No. 1 are now hidden underground.

After all, the [Natural Calamity] faction is now on the side of humanity, and the ley lines of Base City One have been modified by Xuanhuang.

This method of storage ensures exceptional stability.

Ye Chenyang brought Jiang Mian here with the intention of having Wangchuan lead the way and using the "Other Shore" to help her complete the foundation of the laws related to the [Soul] and [Nightmare].

Although Jiang Mian has received many peak powers, they are all just skill enhancements.

Currently, in the world, there are only four fundamental laws that can improve themselves as Jiang Mian grows: Elements, Natural Disasters, Radiance, and Chaos.

To perfect the remaining foundations of the laws, she must "devour" them, that is, consume large quantities of related materials.

"Ding!"

With a soft sound, the group officially entered the underground containment area.

Jiang Mian narrowed his eyes slightly, examining the interior furnishings.

The floor tiles and walls here are pure white, which is quite dazzling.

There weren't many people coming and going in the corridor; they were mostly researchers wearing white coats.

When they saw Jiang Mian with her dragon horns and tail, they couldn't help but stop and stare, clearly very interested in her.

If Gu Yuanzhou hadn't led the way, this group of people probably would have rushed up to offer their concern and comfort.

The group walked to the end of the corridor.

The containment chamber here is of the highest level, and turning left leads to the secret vault that once stored materials from the first Apex and related alien remains.

Turn right, and you'll find the solitary confinement cells where Wangchuan is now imprisoned.

"Jiang Mian? Ye Chenyang? Long time no see."

At the door of the private room, Yin Mengyao waved to Jiang Mian, her gesture appearing quite subtle.

She was completely stunned when she found out yesterday that Jiang Mian had reached the eighth level, and she still hasn't recovered.

Promotion this fast? Is he even human?

Uh, no, she doesn't seem to be purely human after all...

"Sister Mengyao, what's wrong?"

Jiang Mian smiled at Yin Mengyao, and even with the obvious signs of her illness, such as dragon horns and a dragon tail, her gentle and sweet temperament was still undeniable.

"N-nothing."

Yin Mengyao's lips twitched, and she waved her hands repeatedly.

"Now that everyone's here, let's go inside."

Gu Yuanzhou stepped forward, lightly tapped the door lock with his fingertips, and channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into it.

"laugh--"

The metal door emitted a hissing sound and then opened automatically.

The crowd filed in, all turning their gaze to Wangchuan, who was playing with the child.

She was still wearing that white dress, with a choker around her neck, which seemed to be a special device that restricted the transformation of her spiritual body.

But compared to the last time they met, Wangchuan's "human touch" was clearly much stronger.

Her gaze towards Xiao Diaoling was full of tenderness, and she exuded an indescribable aura that was completely different from her previous indifference.

"You've arrived."

Wangchuan seemed to have anticipated the arrival of everyone.

"Please wait a moment."

As she spoke, she pulled out a pacifier from somewhere, put it in the little boy's mouth, touched his forehead, and made him fall into a deep sleep.

Hua Xixi, who was squatting in the corner drawing circles, quickly ran over, took the child from her arms, and walked towards the bedroom.

Wangchuan then turned around, sat down on the sofa with a dignified posture, and made a "please" gesture:

"Alright. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Ye Chenyang watched this scene with mixed feelings, as if he were in a dream.

Jiang Mian had mentioned the River of Oblivion to him last night, but actually seeing it with his own eyes was truly a complex experience.

He composed himself and simply made a request to Wangchuan: just take Jiang Mian and Yin Mengyao into the "Other Shore" and find the sea of flowers.

After saying that, Ye Chenyang gave Jiang Mian some more instructions and stood guard to the side.

Jiang Mian secretly made a mental note of it and sat down on the sofa opposite Wangchuan with Yin Mengyao.

"drop--"

Gu Yuanzhou tapped the neck ring lightly, producing a crisp warning sound.

Feeling the long-lost "freedom," Wangchuan's eyes dimmed.

Then, she activated her domain, bringing Jiang Mian and Yin Mengyao to the "Other Shore".

……

As soon as Jiang Mian entered "The Other Shore", he noticed something was wrong.

Her spiritual body seemed to have transformed into a blurry nebula, like a walking black hole.

Simply by standing next to them, the "gravity" emanating from them can automatically draw their souls in.

If you're not careful, you could crush them flat!

She quickly suppressed her spiritual power and then mobilized the power of [Formless] to reshape herself, thus transforming back into human form.

"call--"

Yin Mengyao steadied herself and couldn't help but pat her chest. Just as she was about to complain, Wangchuan's somewhat weak voice came from ahead.

"Come with me."

Compared to before, her attitude was much colder, as if she was suppressing some kind of emotion.

Jiang Mian raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any further questions, pulling Yin Mengyao along with him.

The three of them walked on for an unknown amount of time, but still couldn't see any sign of the sea of flowers. Instead, the oppressive emotions emanating from Wangchuan grew stronger and stronger.

Jiang Mian felt it was about time, so she took the initiative to ask:

"Wangchuan, what do you want to say to me? Please speak frankly."

Wangchuan paused, slowly turned around, and looked at Jiang Mian.

"What do you plan to do with me in the end times? Kill me? Or eat me?"

Jiang Mian chuckled softly, but did not answer directly.

"What, you've changed your mind?"

"No."

Wangchuan shook his head, seemingly quite confused as well:

"Surrendering is the best solution I can come up with. It's just that he can't live without me now... I... I don't know what's wrong with me."

Jiang Mian gave her a deep look, then said:

"To be honest, I originally planned to take all the resources and then eat you. But—"

Wangchuan's eyes lit up, a hint of anticipation appearing in them.
