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

"What do you want that for?"

"This is in Tibet Province, where danger lurks everywhere. We're hoping to scare away some petty thieves..."

"Oh, is that all? Okay."

Si Mo tossed something to Ye Qianxue, who hurriedly caught it and opened her hand to see that it was a black scale.

The scale is beautifully shaped, shiny like obsidian, and reflects the scenery, giving it a slightly weighty feel.

This is.....?

Ye Qianxue stared intently, then suddenly stumbled back a few steps, breaking out in a cold sweat.

She saw a pair of crimson eyes staring at her, as if she were looking directly at a dragon, and she felt a powerful pressure.

Is this enough?

"Mmm!" Ye Qianxue nodded like a chick pecking at rice. This was more than enough. Even an SSS-level being would be too scared to move forward. It was very useful.

Si Mo tossed out another scale, saying, "Oh, right, don't forget your sister either. Remember to give it to her. She should wear it on her person and take it out when she's in trouble. It can save your lives."

Ye Qianxue accepted it with deep gratitude, treasuring it as she held it close to her chest, almost moved to tears.

"Is there anything else? You should go back now."

“Ah, um... there’s one more thing…” Ye Qianxue said haltingly.

"Anything else? Tell me about it?"

Ye Qianxue stammered a few times before forcing out a few words: "Th...thank you!"

After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the spatial rift without giving anyone a chance, leaving behind a face full of bitterness and a simmering veil covering his chest.

"I feel... a little guilty..."

............

Ye Qianxue did not go straight back, but went home first. Finding that Mu Mu was not there, she took some things for herself before returning to Tibet Province.

When she returned and did not see him, she was not in a hurry. Instead, she observed her surroundings and found the mark that Yan Ziming had left for her, so she followed it.

However, when she saw the scene before her, she was stunned.

"Sister, my dear sister?"

There were more than a dozen giant beasts, each over ten meters tall, piled up in front of them, but they all had one thing in common—they were completely still.

Obviously, these guys are all dead.

"Pfft-"

A giant beast's head suddenly exploded, and a little girl of about twelve years old emerged from it, her face full of frustration.

"Damn it, still nothing. The drop rate is too low! ...Hmm? Qianxue, you're back. How did it go? Did you get anything?"

When Yan Ziming saw Ye Qianxue, he bathed himself in lightning to evaporate the blood, brain matter, and other filth, and then hugged her.

"Ah, um... Big sister, you made all of these?"

Was there anyone else here before you came back?

"..." Ye Qianxue was speechless, feeling an immense pressure on her shoulders.

Even though this person is so close, I still need to put in a thousand times more effort to catch up with her.

"Oh right, give this to you first, big sister."

Ye Qianxue first took out the two scales that Si Mo had given her, one in each hand, and showed them to Yan Zimo so that she could choose first.

"This was given to us by Mother... Sister?" Noticing that Yan Ziming's expression was not quite right, Ye Qianxue called out.

Yan Ziming was lost in deep memories.

Could this be...?

Sure enough, the two scales disappeared instantly in the next second, and then Yan Ziming felt something hot sticking to his right leg. Ye Qianxue, who was next to him, also exclaimed in surprise while clutching her lower abdomen. Yan Ziming knew then that he had been tricked by that sadistic loli again.

In the vast wilderness, Yan Ziming's childish, loli-like roar echoed: "Simo, you heartless thing, I'll sunbathe you sooner or later!"

.........

"Phew~~ That's more like it, now we can relax."

Hearing these words, Simo's conscience finally stopped hurting, and she went to take a nap with a clear conscience.

18. Special engraving

Yan Ziming looked at the black stripe on his right leg that had been 'lost and found' but he couldn't erase it no matter what he tried. At this point, there was only one way left—to destroy his own body.

When I transformed into Lei Ling and reshaped my body, the stripes on my legs were erased. Maybe it will work if I try again now.

However, this would waste a chance for regeneration. Yan Ziming's brain is still functioning properly. In this dangerous land, a chance for limb regeneration is almost priceless and cannot be used casually.

Looking at Ye Qianxue again, her skirt had fallen loosely down to her thighs. When she saw Yan Ziming looking over, she quickly covered herself with her clothes, concealing her abdomen.

I remember she was initially clutching her stomach?

"Qianxue, how are you? Let me see."

Yan Ziming reached out to lift her clothes, but Ye Qianxue covered him tightly, her face as red as a sunset, her eyes turning into mosquito coils.

"No...don't look...it's too embarrassing..."

Embarrassing...

It just doesn't sound right coming from you.

Yan Ziming comforted her a little and showed her his right leg covered by sexy patterns. "It's okay, no matter how embarrassing it is, I'm here with you. Be good and let me see."

"Woo..."

Ye Qianxue reluctantly grabbed the hem of her dress and slowly lifted it up. Yan Ziming couldn't help but feel ashamed and had a strong sense of guilt.

Why do I always feel like I'm a criminal forcing my sister to show her panties to me...?

This bizarre thought was immediately overshadowed by the impactful image before him.

All that could be seen was Ye Qianxue's smooth and firm abdomen, which was outlined by beautiful lines that created a perfect curve. At first glance, Yan Ziming thought of an extremely beautiful fallen angel spreading her wings, noble, elegant, and extremely impactful.

Yan Ziming pressed his face close to his sister's abdomen (his height only reached her abdomen), and the more he looked, the more familiar the markings seemed, like...

Uh.

She recalled the evil (cat) corruption markings etched on the female protagonist's abdomen in a certain yuri tentacle training novel, which seemed roughly similar to this...

Or rather... exactly the same.

Moreover, she had read the book with Ye Qianxue, who had strongly recommended it to her.

Putting aside her sister's intentions in pushing this book on her, it at least shows that Ye Qianxue remembers the details in the book very clearly, including the corrupted patterns...

Ah, no wonder she was so shy. It turns out she had a pattern with this kind of meaning engraved on her. If it were me, I probably wouldn't dare to show my face to anyone either.

Now that things had come to this, Yan Ziming had no words of comfort left to offer, so he could only do the opposite and make the best of a bad situation—

"Yeah, it's pretty good. I'm really tempted to see it!"

These were her true feelings; Yan Ziming was already imagining the scene of Ye Qianxue 'playing games' with her.

Ye Qianxue let out a sob and covered her cheeks, her earlobes clearly red, which looked quite adorable.

After cursing Si Mo's ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart, Ye Qianxue slowly moved her hands away from her cheeks a little after a while, barely managing to meet Yan Zimo's gaze, who was only up to her waist.

"Really?"

"Mmm! Really, I'm really looking forward to starting to taste it properly~~"

Yan Ziming blurted out what was on her mind without thinking, and upon realizing this, she felt an urge to cover her face.

Hoping there was still a chance to salvage the situation, Yan Ziming wanted to retract his previous statement, but before he could, Ye Qianxue lifted her robe and completely covered Yan Ziming's head inside.

"Then please prove it with your actions, dear sister!"

"Um?!"

Suddenly, her vision went black. Yan Ziming was slightly taken aback, and then the fragrance of the girl's skin wafted over her, like a bewitching incense, enticing her towards depravity.

No, no, no, absolutely not! Now is not the time!

It took a lot of coaxing to calm Ye Qianxue down to a normal state, but Yan Ziming herself had also signed an 'unequal treaty,' even though she was the one who benefited the most from it.

Feeling secretly pleased, Yan Ziming didn't want to bring up the tattoo any further, so she asked instead, "Did you get the information I asked you to?"

"That... Sister!"

"Oh, oh... I'm here, why are you suddenly so serious..."

"Could you give Qianxue a few hundred million in pocket money?"

"A little more? That's fine, but why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

Yan Ziming was unaware of just how different her understanding was from what Ye Qianxue had said.

Ye Qianxue smiled shyly, "Actually, Mom... that guy said all I need to do is eat some 'candy beans'."

Autumn bean sack.
