The little female is incredibly sweet and soft, healing the five evil beasts right from the start.

Chapter 188 Return
After returning to Baicheng, Jiang Mian washed up and went to her room to lie down.

She naturally slept alone, and she had even sent a group message in advance to the group where she had unexpectedly invited people to participate in the lottery.

Group owner Jiang Mian: No need to serve the emperor tonight, goodnight everyone!
Someone replied the moment she sent the message.

Rong Fei was the first to reply.

Rong Fei: Baby, do you really not need it?

Jiang Mian: Get a good rest tonight.

Lin Yu: Get some rest.

Rong Fei and Lin Yu replied quickly, but the others didn't notice the message in the group immediately.

After some time, messages started popping up in the group one after another.

Chi Lin:?
Chi Lin: Aren't you going to disband this group yet?
Chi Lin: Sister, I won't serve you in bed today, it's Saturday, but I'll choose you tomorrow, Sunday!

Imperial edict: Should I be selected?

Li Yan: Choose me.

Rong Fei: It seems everyone's been quite free lately.

Rin Yu: ...

Jiang Mian: I'm asleep, please don't disturb me.

Jiang Mian looked at it for a while before turning her gaze away.

I was going to sleep, but then I suddenly remembered something.

She seemed to have forgotten to ask Qixu about Qiyun.

That girl hasn't come over since last time, and she's been quite busy since then, so she didn't notice for a while. Now she realizes that Qiyun hasn't come over for a long time.

With that thought in mind, Jiang Mian sent a message to Qi Xu.

Jiang Mian: Are you asleep?

She first asked a question on the personal terminal, and if the other party did not answer, she would ask the other party again tomorrow when Qixu came to clean the room.

Jiang Mian thought that Qi Xu should be asleep since it was so late, but she didn't expect that Qi Xu would reply to her so quickly after she sent the message.

Qixu: Master, is there anything I can help you with?
Jiang Mian considered the message for a moment before replying: Why hasn't your sister been coming over lately? I haven't seen her recently, how is she?

After she sent the message, Qixu did not reply to her immediately.

A while seemed to have passed. Jiang Mian saw in the chat box that the words being typed kept appearing and disappearing, then reappearing, as if the other person was deleting or rewriting, and had not sent them for a long time.

Jiang Mian: What's wrong?

Qixu: Master, it's alright. She's gone to live a better life.

Jiang Mian:?
Qixu: Master, I want to resign next month.

Jiang Mian:?
When Jiang Mian saw the messages from Qi Xu, he was completely confused. What had happened?
Jiang Mian: What happened to Qiyun? What do you mean by "going to live a better life"?
Qixu: My pharmacist friend took her away.

Jiang Mian: Is that pharmacist reliable?
Qixu: They got together.

The two left without saying goodbye, leaving him alone here.

Qi Xu probably knew that Qi Yun resented him, so he left without saying a word.

He only learned bits and pieces of information from his pharmacist friend.

Jiang Mian paused for a moment, and after hearing this, she decided not to say anything more.

And judging from her appearance, Qixu doesn't seem to want to explain too much.

Jiang Mian then decided against asking any further questions or delving into anything more.

She was silent for a moment before replying: Okay. Actually, Jiang Mian doesn't really need Qi Xu anymore.

Because of the Xiao Rong robot, which could have replaced Qi Xu long ago, she had already promised to hire it to stay and help her with household chores, so she naturally wouldn't go back on her word.

Now that Qixu has taken the initiative to resign, Jiang Mian, though somewhat puzzled as to why, has agreed.

Jiang Mian sighed, put down the personal terminal, and went to sleep.

On the new day, Jiang Mian, besides refining potions, also went to check on the medicinal plants under the influence of the purification reagents.

There was another knock on the door.

"Xiao Rong, go open the door," Jiang Mian called out casually. "Ask who it is and what they want."

The robot Xiao Rong then went to open the door.

The door opened, and a young man with a white fox fur came into view.

The young man had an exceptionally handsome and refined appearance, dressed in simple and clean white casual wear.

Clean and spotless, without a speck of dust.

However, her once clear and beautiful face was now stained with a sickly redness.

Xiao Rong then asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"I'm here to see a doctor." The white fox youth, also known as Fox Nine, had a fleeting look in his eyes, but quickly forced himself to calm down and coughed a few times. "Ahem, I'm sick. Isn't this a beastman clinic? So I came here to trouble Dr. Jiang to take a look at me."

Xiao Rong saw that Hu Jiu was quite robust. Even in his white casual clothes, he couldn't hide his extremely tall stature. If it weren't for the flush on his face, people would believe he wasn't sick.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go ask the most beautiful and adorable baby Mianmian, the most powerful and beloved man in the world, Rong Fei!" Xiao Rong said, then slammed the door shut again.

Fox Nine scratched his head. Even though he had changed into clean clothes and washed his fox ears clean, his temperament was still hard to change, carrying a wildness and casualness from someone who had struggled in the chaotic underworld.

This little robot was just chattering away for a long time.

He only heard the name Mianmian.

Xiao Rong quickly slipped to Jiang Mian's side: "Mianmian baby, a patient said he came to see a doctor."

Jiang Mian paused, almost forgetting that this was still a beastman clinic.

Since she had almost finished dealing with her own affairs, she nodded and said, "Let him come over."

Xiao Rong agreed and slipped out to open the door and let the person in.

This was Hu Jiu's first time entering Jiang Mian's home, and for some reason, she seemed a little reserved and nervous. However, she couldn't help but glance at the furnishings of Jiang Mian's home.

The robot Xiao Rong, who was leading the way, suddenly turned around and glanced at him. Fox Nine immediately looked away and dared not look around anymore.

Fox Nine followed the robot Xiao Rong to the backyard and saw the person she wanted to see. The closer she got to that person, the more her heart seemed to beat, and her cheeks became redder and redder.

I wonder if the other person will recognize him; he must look very different from before.

The biggest change was that he went from being dirty to being clean.

He recently changed jobs and is no longer picking up trash; instead, he's now in management of the trash-picking department.

However, his older brother, Fox Seven, started his own business in the waste industry.

Fox Nine has already gone to work as a manager at one of the top companies in the garbage industry!

When Jiang Mian first saw Hu Jiu, she didn't realize that this was Hu Jiu until she saw that his features seemed to be getting more and more familiar.

Fox Nine waved to her, and her enthusiastic and passionate voice rang out: "Dr. Jiang! I'm sick!"

The blush on her face was hard to tell whether it was from illness or excitement.
