The next morning.
Jiang Mian woke early, jolted awake by a wave of hunger. She tossed and turned, unable to fall back asleep.
The constant strengthening of her body by the Tide, combined with the rapid growth of her mental power, had made her "digestion" unusually fast.
So even though she hadn't leveled up yet, her appetite had grown again.
She had only just devoured more than a dozen Second-tier calamities last time, and already, before long, she'd digested every last one.
What's more, after reaching the Third-tier, the "fullness" low-tier Calamities gave her had become negligible.
The effect dropped tenfold with every tier of difference, hardly enough to satisfy her.

Besides, with her mental power as it was now, controlling several at once might not be impossible.
Jiang Mian checked the time. It seemed about right, so she got up, changed out of her pajamas, washed up, and headed out.
Ye Chenyang had gone out once last night,
