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

Chapter 21 Corner of the Lips
Separated by a door.

Lin Yu clenched his fists tightly again, his nerves were highly sensitive, and his head was accompanied by waves of sharp pain.

That feeling resurfaced; who did she mistake him for this time?
Lin Yu couldn't tell whether the feeling in her heart was anger or something else.
How could she dare to treat him as a substitute for someone else?
Jiang Mian looked at the door, which was still tightly closed.

She knew that manic episodes of irritability would be accompanied by headaches.

His headaches stemmed from a time when he was very young, when he was subjected to brain-triggering commands by humans. He tried to remove the chip from his brain with his bare hands but failed, leaving him with lasting effects.

Jiang Mian was silent for a moment. He had the courage to tear his own head apart with his bare hands when he was a child. Jiang Mian felt that it was a miracle that he was still alive and could meet her in the future.

As she was still trying to figure out how to get in, a red and burning arm suddenly reached out and abruptly pulled her into the dark room.

Jiang Mian's back was pressed heavily against the door that had been slammed shut behind him.

"Who am I?" Lin Yu gripped her wrist tightly, his voice carrying a hint of barely controlled anger.

The scorching heat and towering body enveloped her, while the massive, twisted snake tail slapped against the ground with a restless sound.

Jiang Mian was surrounded by complete darkness, without a single ray of light.

She accurately reached out her other hand and placed it on the dense snake scales on his right cheek, her palm touching the hot snake scales.

A healing power slowly rose from her palm and landed on his face. She smiled gently and said, "You are Lin Yu."

Lin Yu felt the gentle fingers lightly brushing across his face, and he loosened his grip on Jiang Mian's hand slightly.

A pair of vertical red eyes also paused slightly.

At least for now, in her eyes he is Lin Yu...

Jiang Mian breathed a sigh of relief. If Lin Yu really lost consciousness, she would inject him with the stun-inducing agent in her pocket in order to successfully cure his manic phase.

"You think my right cheek is covered in scales and looks ugly?" Lin Yu asked in a hoarse, cold, and gloomy voice.

His voice was always clear and pleasant to hear.

He just rarely spoke.

Is it ugly that his face is always covered in scales?

Jiang Mian's lips moved slightly. These were all things the original owner said, not things she said.

As long as the manic phase has not completely disappeared, that is, before the complete transformation from a human to a beast, the beastly characteristics of each orc will remain on their body.

So even when Rin Yu wasn't in a manic phase, snake scales would occasionally crawl all over his body; once, snake scales even appeared on his right cheek.

The original owner witnessed it and felt extremely disgusted. He told Lin Yu to cover half of his face with his hair and not to let it be exposed.

Jiang Mian didn't find it ugly; it was dark and shiny, and when the light fell on it, it reflected a dazzling brilliance.

Those who say his scales are ugly have simply not noticed how beautiful he is.

After Jiang Mian arrived, she saw Lin Yu every day, and he always covered half of his face with his hair. She felt a little sorry for him when she saw that.

However, since their relationship was tense at the time, Jiang Mian didn't say anything. Now that their relationship is less tense, she can say something.

“No, it’s very beautiful,” Jiang Mian said softly. “When the light falls, it emits a soft, colorful, and dazzling light.”

She smiled faintly and continued, "So, you don't need to cover half your face anymore. You're so beautiful, why would you want to cover it up?"

Lin Yu could tell that what she said came from the bottom of her heart.

It was precisely because of this that a dense, bittersweet feeling spread through Lin Yu's heart.

Jiang Mian's palm, imbued with a healing power, caressed his face, gently brushing aside the fallen, dark, curly hair and tucking it behind his ear.

"From now on, you should show it off confidently!" Jiang Mian said with a gentle smile.

The burning pain of the manic phase is slowly disappearing, replaced by a gentle, fragrant hand.

The snake's tail tip spun slightly, then slid back to the wall and turned on the light.

As the incandescent bulb fell, the darkness before Jiang Mian's eyes was instantly dispelled by the light.

In an instant, she saw Lin Yu clearly. Half of his face was covered in black snake scales, and his red vertical pupils resembled those of a cold and ruthless animal.

Lin Yu lowered his eyelids, his gaze fixed on Jiang Mian's face.

In that sudden burst of light, he was able to see clearly the emotions on her face that she couldn't hide.

In that instant, he would understand whether she was lying or being sincere.

Lin Yu could clearly see the expression on her face.

She had actually seen his face covered in snake scales before, even his entire face covered in snake scales...

The girl seemed to be slightly startled by the sudden turn on of the light, then her gaze quickly fell on his face. She looked up at him and smiled faintly, "The scales really do emit a soft, beautiful light under the light."

There was no fear, no disgust, only gentle acceptance...

Her palm was still pressed against his right cheek, the gentle warmth emanating from it.

The pain dissipated, leaving only a lingering tenderness...

Lin Yu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the snake scales on his face, which were pressed against the girl's palm, slowly disappeared, gradually returning to his smooth, pale skin.

Jiang Mian's eyes flickered slightly. As the snake scales slowly disappeared, her palms were indeed pressed against his skin. She even saw a small, sexy red mole revealed after the scales on the lower right corner of his thin red lips disappeared.

A few days ago, it was either hidden by the drooping hair or by the snake scales that had climbed up.

Jiang Mian remembered that the red mole under his lip was very handsome.

Now that I see it, it really looks great!

She smiled and said with a slight smile, "Beautiful."

Lin Yu stared at her with his eyes half-closed, without saying a word.

He is much more lucid now.

He slightly furrowed his brows, his hand loosely gripping Jiang Mian's wrist, remaining stiff and motionless, neither daring to get any closer nor willing to pull away.

When Jiang Mian saw that his red vertical pupils had returned to their ruby-red eyes, he knew that the healing effect was good, and he calmed down a lot.

"Lin Yu, does your head hurt?" Jiang Mian asked, her eyes flickering slightly.

She now understands the frequency of his headaches and whether they are very serious.
However, she doesn't have the advanced facilities to take a brain scan of the other person.

Now I can only help him based on my experience.

Lin Yu stared at her for a while before slowly replying, "Mm."

Jiang Mian then gently pressed her hand on his head, looking at him earnestly: "Does it hurt here?"

The burning pain from the manic phase subsided, but the associated brain regions continued to ache intensely.

I never imagined that one day he would ignore this excruciating pain.

Now, more than the excruciating pain in his brain, he felt the warmth of her fingertips first.

A deep, unsettling emotion churned in his cold, brooding eyes as he spoke softly:
"pain."

"Does it hurt slightly or a lot?"

"It hurts."

"Does it hurt here?"

"It hurts."

"What about here?"

"It hurts."
