I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"We are all high-level superhumans, we are not afraid."

"sister."

Ye Qianxue took out a handkerchief and wiped the water droplets that had splashed on Yan Ziming's face, looking at her with hopeful eyes.

"Ha... thank you." Yan Ziming gasped for breath and said haltingly, "I just... caught a dragon."

"......"

Qin Di, tactically leaning back.

Recalling the size of that "thing" from earlier, Qin Di asked with a strange expression, "The dragon you mentioned... was it big?"

“It’s not a matter of age, she’s really the kind of… the kind of special she is.” Yan Ziming said with a rather contradictory expression, “Her eyes are like rubies, her mouth is like… oh well, anyway, she looks a lot like me!”

At this point, Ye Qianxue, who had been unaware of the truth, finally understood who Yan Ziming was referring to. Looking at the welded-together iron bucket, her delicate body trembled slightly involuntarily.

—Silk foam!

That sadistic dragon girl loli!

The only ones who still don't understand the truth are Qin Di, who has never met Si Mo, and the two little girls.

Because Yan Ziming's description was too mystical, Qin Di didn't understand at all, so he asked, "You... are you also a dragon?"

"No! Have you ever read fantasy novels? I'm talking about those dragon girls who are both human and dragon, and can switch forms at will!"

Yan Ziming was quite excited. If she had the tools, she would have picked up paper and pen to draw for him.

"Okay... is the dragon you mentioned beautiful?" Qin Di asked, trying to control his emotions.

"Nonsense, she looks like me, how could she not be beautiful! Everyone knows that!"

"Pfft hahaha... cough... cough cough... um." Qin Di grinned, but quickly restrained himself.

"You...you just laughed, didn't you?"

"No, you misheard... *pfft*"

"I'll say it again, I'm not joking!"

Qin Di waved his hand, comforting him, "Yes, yes, I believe you, you're not joking, pfft..."

"I haven't stopped laughing since you started."

"No, as members of a special department, we've received professional training. No matter how funny something is, we won't laugh unless we can't help it... Pfft, hahahahaha—!!!"

"crooked--"

Yan Ziming slammed his fist on the iron bucket, a ray of lightning shooting out from his fingertips. The electric shock sent a shiver down Qin Di's spine, and he dared not laugh anymore. But he was holding it in so hard that he almost suffered internal injuries.

Just as Yan Ziming was about to run away with the iron bucket, the people around him had already surrounded him.

"Hey—look over there! It looks like they caught something!"

"Moji?! Maji yapakunee—?!"

"No way, could it be that a little girl broke the curse? Who was it that looked down on her just now?"

"Ha... I knew the moment I saw this little girl, she was someone who could save the world!"

The people around them were talking and surrounded them from all sides, leaving Yan Ziming and her companions no way out.

An elderly man, over sixty years old, asked with trembling hands in a reverent tone, "Young lady, can we see the fish you just caught?"

"..."

"Half a month, a full half a month! People who come here to fish are always heard but never seen. I've finally seen someone break the curse! Please let us see them!"

"..."

Yan Ziming's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She really wanted to show Da, but she couldn't. What she had caught wasn't a fish, but a dragon!

That was a living, breathing dragon!

The second-ranked Black Dragon in the Ranked List is the Black Calamity!

With so many people watching her, she might get angry and destroy the place, which would be a really big problem.

Yan Ziming explained, "Well, sir, listen to me... what we caught wasn't a fish."

"Not a fish?!"

The old man's aura suddenly intensified, and the people around him took a step closer, their breathing becoming much heavier.

"Little girl... tell me, is what you caught that damned, bloodthirsty lake monster?!"

"......"

Grandpa, you guessed right, damn it! It really is a damn, monstrous lake monster. But please, can you stop talking now?

Yan Ziming was about to cry. Why was she so unlucky to have such a thing happen to her?

"No, sir, I just caught a big black loach, nothing special. You can all leave now, okay? Leave now."

Boom-! ! !

The contents of the metal bucket seemed very dissatisfied with this statement, and slapped it in protest, deforming the bucket so much that it almost burst.

"......"

"How can you be so insensible, little girl? It won't hurt you to let us take a look!"

Yan Ziming couldn't hold on any longer. He gave Ye Qianxue and the others a look, and then a bolt of lightning shot out from under his feet, reaching the lake at a speed no one could see.

With a loud bang, a splash of water more than ten meters high erupted from the lake. Taking advantage of the moment, Yan Ziming pointed at the lake surface and shouted, "Holy crap, a lake monster!"

"What?! The lake monster?!"

Everyone's eyes turned sharply in that direction, but they found nothing but emptiness; instead, a large number of dead fish exploded and landed on their heads.

When I looked back, Yan Ziming and the others had vanished!

The old man who started it clicked his tongue in displeasure: "These young people nowadays, tsk tsk... It's not like we caught a dragon, what's there to be so proud of!"

..........

On the other side, Yan Ziming jumped out of the spatial rift and threw the bucket onto the lawn in front of him with a "duang" sound.

"Hey, what exactly did you catch?" Qin Di asked curiously as he followed behind.

Yan Ziming glared at him: "I told you it's a dragon, but you still didn't believe me!"

After being emphasized so many times, even though Qin Di initially took it as a joke, he now had no choice but to gradually accept it.

With a stern face, he asked, "What dragon?"

"Black dragon."

"..."

Seeing his expressionless face, Yan Zimo added, "Black Calamity."

"What, black—"

Before Qin Di could finish speaking, the iron bucket exploded with a loud bang, and a dark figure darted out from inside. Qin Di's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

This is... the infamous... Black Calamity!

He thought with trembling heart, when he saw the true form of the black calamity, it was just like the moment Yan Zimo fished up the silk foam, it was blacker than black.

"Yo-ho~~"

Si Mo still had a fish as big as her face in her mouth, its tail still thrashing about, filling her little mouth completely. She shook herself like a cat that had fallen into the water, splashing water all over Yan Ziming and the others.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Unexpected Changes

To be honest, Si Mo is incredibly cute. Qin Di, who didn't know the true face of this quirky little girl, almost wanted to go up and rub her.

Of course, if he dared to do that, he would be sure to be killed by Si Mo. Even if Si Mo was willing, Yan Zi Mo would not be.

There was no way around it; Si Mo looked so much like her, so molesting Si Mo was the same as molesting herself!

Yan Ziming rubbed his forehead and leaned weakly against the tree behind him: "Why are you here...?"

"Mmm... glug—" Si Mo bit the fish in half and swallowed it without chewing, saying, "Because we live here now."

"..." Ye Qianxue's eyes were dull and lifeless, as if she had been deprived of her dreams.

She should have expected it; two weeks ago, fishing became impossible here. And two weeks ago, Si Mo also happened to arrive in the Beian Military Administrative District.

The timing is exactly the same!

Incidentally, the current Bei'an Military Administrative Region does not refer to Bei'an City alone, but is a collective name for the four cities of Bei'an, Yong'an, Sheng'an, and Chang'an.

I thought I had done my homework on this topic and teamed up with my older sister to solve the mystery, but who knew the answer would be so bizarre!

Generally speaking, who would think in this direction!

A black dragon of sequence level hid in the lake and played "hide-and-seek" with people, even swallowing all the fish they caught. Is this something a dragon should do?!

No wonder, no wonder so many people from the relevant departments couldn't find this "lake monster".

It would be a miracle if they could find the Black Calamity, which is knowledgeable about the ways of space!

"Oh no... what was I trying to say... my mind is a bit muddled right now."
