This was exactly what she had been most worried about.
Just as she thought that, her phone screen suddenly lit up. Someone was calling.
When Ye Qian saw the number, her face darkened.
It was a call from her roommate, Xiao Lin.
She hurriedly turned on the voice changer, set to a male voice, and answered. "Hello?"
"Ye Qian... damn, your voice sounds more and more off. Why is it cracking too?"
"Ahem, I'm not feeling well. I'm still recovering." Ye Qian hurriedly replied.
"Recovering? I'm freaking near your place. Want me to come check on you?"
"No, no, no." The moment she heard he wanted to come over, Ye Qian immediately said, "It's inconvenient."
"What's inconvenient about it? Don't tell me you're secretly doing something by yourself?"
"You're overthinking it. I just want to recover alone."
"Fine. I was going to ask you out for dinner, but how about I send Lin Qingyan over to check on you? She seems to like you. I'll give you two a chance."
"Damn it, what do you mean she likes me? Since when were you so kind?"
Beep—
The other side hung up.
"Phew~"
Ye Qian let out a breath.
That guy was as annoying as ever.
But she had already turned into a girl. How was she supposed to tell anyone about something like this?
It was downright humiliating!
"Wait, did he just say Lin Qingyan was coming?"
Ye Qian sat up from the bed at once.
After a moment of silence, she thought it over and lay back down.
"Forget it. I can't hide it forever."
Just imagining the looks on those guys' faces when they found out she had become a girl made Ye Qian's mouth twitch.
Twenty minutes later, someone suddenly knocked on the front door.
She jumped up and ran to the window, peeking outside.
A beautiful girl with a single ponytail.
"Emmmm..."
Ye Qian did not actually like this girl. After all, she had not been in this world for long and barely knew her.
Still, she had to admit that this girl's looks ranked among the best in their class.
The other party knocked a few more times. Ye Qian took a deep breath and went to open the door.
"Huh?"
Lin Qingyan froze when she saw a cute girl appear in the doorway.
The petite girl poked her head out, sneaked glances to both sides, then stepped aside. "Come in."
Lin Qingyan: "?"
Though somewhat hesitant, she still walked inside.
Bang!
The door closed.
"Phew~~~" The girl let out a breath.
Lin Qingyan frowned slightly. "Little sister, who are you? Isn't this... Ye Qian's home?"
Seeing such a beautiful little girl in front of her, dressed in a little skirt and white stockings, Lin Qingyan was truly puzzled.
Did Ye Qian have such a cute younger sister?
To her surprise, the girl took a deep breath and solemnly said, "I'm Ye Qian."
"???"
Lin Qingyan was stunned.
A few seconds later...
She asked in shock, "Did you get gender reassignment surgery?"
"What the hell do you mean gender reassignment surgery? Could surgery make someone this pretty?" Ye Qian broke into a violent coughing fit. "Ahem, let me go lie down first. I'm not in good shape right now."
She weakly ran back into her room, then sat helplessly on the bed. "As you can see, one morning, I woke up and had become like this."
Lin Qingyan covered her mouth with both hands, her face full of disbelief. "Is this... a joke?"
That boy had turned into such an adorable little girl. What kind of absurd prank was this?
"It's not a joke. I really am Ye Qian." The petite girl stressed this again.
Lin Qingyan rubbed her chin, then stepped forward and pinched Ye Qian's little cheek. "As if I'd believe that... You're so cute. A total super beauty."
"You..." Ye Qian broke free from her at once, her face flushing slightly. "Don't get handsy."
Lin Qingyan had always seemed like a reserved, aloof goddess. Why had she suddenly started getting handsy?
"Sorry, sorry. Even if you say that, I still find it unbelievable." Her gaze drifted down to Ye Qian's legs. "Even here too..."
Ye Qian glared at her. "They're gone!"
"Ah..."
"What's with that disappointed expression?" Ye Qian patted her chest, felt the soft sensation in her hand, and her face darkened. "Anyway, that's how it is. No one would believe it even if I told them, right?"
"I believe you. There's no loss in believing it, anyway. Besides, you really do look a little weak right now. Could this be a side effect of transforming?"
"I don't know. Oh, right, my sister is here too. She's been taking care of me these past two days." Ye Qian pointed behind Lin Qingyan.
Lin Qingyan hurriedly turned around and indeed saw a beautiful figure.
"My name is Ye Xin," the figure said.
"Ah... hello. I never expected you to have a sister, Ye Qian. You never mentioned her before."
Her sister was so beautiful, practically on par with Ye Qian.
For some reason, Lin Qingyan felt uncomfortable. She had always been quite confident in her looks, but Ye Qian had somehow become even prettier than her, and Ye Qian's sister had even more poise... Were they trying to make people despair?
"Anyway, I've recovered quite a bit now. I'll probably be fine after resting for a few more days." Ye Qian took a cup of coffee from her clone and silently took a sip. "Come to think of it, this is your first time at my house."
"Yes." Lin Qingyan's face reddened slightly as she awkwardly glanced out the window.
Why are you blushing like that?
This was the first time Ye Qian had seen her act this way.
Could she really like me? Was my roommate not lying?
"But I've already become a girl. Wouldn't liking me be painful for her?" Ye Qian did not know what to say.
She controlled her clone to walk over to the table and make the other girl a cup of tea.
"Where are your family members?" Lin Qingyan asked.
"I don't have any family."
Ye Qian shrugged.
A transmigrator's standard setup. Before coming to this world, she had already been all alone.
"What?"
Lin Qingyan looked at the slightly weak, inexplicably pitiful yet adorable little girl before her and suddenly felt a little heartbroken.
"Do you want me to go buy you something?"
"No." Ye Qian shook her head. "I should think about what to do from now on."
"Actually, becoming a girl isn't so bad." Lin Qingyan secretly glanced at Ye Qian, then burst into laughter. "You're really so cute. I never dared talk to you before, but now I just think you're absolutely adorable."
"Emmmm..."
Ye Qian did not know what to say and simply rolled her eyes at her.
"Alright, I won't disturb you anymore. I'm relieved to see that you're okay, so I'll head off first. Oh, right, I haven't added you as a friend yet. Let's add each other?"
"Sure."
Ye Qian did not refuse.
After adding each other, Lin Qingyan gave Ye Qian a serious look, then turned and walked outside.
As her figure gradually disappeared into the distance, Ye Qian relaxed a little.
"How should I put it? She seemed a little sad, didn't she? Forget it. Whatever."
She closed the door, lay back down on the bed, and picked up her phone to play games.
At that moment, Chen Ning suddenly sent a message in the group chat.
Lovely Wolf (Chen Ning): "By the way, now that you've become Transcendents of Otherspace, you need to be careful of others like you in the real world."
Lord Four Seasons (Ye Qian): "Others like us?"
Lovely Wolf (Chen Ning): "Yeah. Outside of space missions, competition exists in the real world too. Whether you want it or not, killing a powerful person means you can seize their resources. There are also dangers in reality, such as monsters that may have escaped from Mission Worlds. They'll follow the scent and come hurt you."
After saying that...
Ding!
Chen Ning transferred 30 units of Life Energy to you.
Lovely Wolf (Chen Ning): "This is for the two of you. You should know how rare this stuff is. Don't die. I don't want to end up all alone."
Lan Xinyu: "Whoa!!!"
Lan Xinyu: "Thank you (grateful)."
Lord Four Seasons (Ye Qian): "Thanks, boss."
That guy was really willing to give it away.
She glanced at Ye Xin.
If she gave it to the main body, it would not even be enough to raise her by one level. Since reality was apparently dangerous, she might as well raise her clone's level instead.
Infuse!
Ding!
Ye Xin's level has risen to: LV3 Strength +0.4, Constitution +0.3, Agility +0.3, Spirit +0.8, Intelligence +0.2, Resistance +0.1 Remaining unconsumed energy: 0 points
"These attributes..."
Her growth speed was undoubtedly inferior to the main body's.
But her increase in Spirit was higher than the main body's.
"Still, Ye Xin's Spirit Thread ability needs this."
She controlled her clone to close her eyes and gather a little strength. A Spirit Thread invisible to the naked eye flew from between her fingers.
The instant the thread touched the wall, she felt a slight obstruction. With only a minor adjustment, it easily passed through.
Then, it was as though Ye Xin had gained another eye. Using this ability alone, she could completely "see" the scene on the other side of the wall.
With a slight exertion of force, Spirit infused its tip, and she gave it a light stab.
Pfft—
