Chapter 35 Not for Sale
When Zhao Ci saw the woman reaching out to touch his face, his brows furrowed sharply, a feeling of disgust flashed through his mind, and he instinctively dodged away.
He coldly and quickly took a few steps back.
The woman's hand also missed its target.
"A lowly orc dares to dodge?" The woman's expression instantly darkened.
Jiang Mian:?
Do you really think she doesn't exist?!
The woman wanted to step forward, but Jiang Mian quickly stepped in front of Zhao Ci and blocked her way. A gust of wind blew past Zhao Ci's nose, carrying the fragrance of her hair.
Zhao Ci only saw a head of smooth, black hair reaching her waist as the girl turned nimbly to block his way, brushing against his arm and the buttons of his purple shirt.
“This is my orc,” Jiang Mian’s cold voice rang out. “Madam, please watch your manners.”
The woman's gaze landed brazenly on Jiang Mian's face, and she sneered, "I know you."
Jiang Mian frowned slightly: "I don't know you."
"So you're the daughter of Marshal Jiang from that remote, desolate corner of the countryside in the capital?" The woman's mocking and contemptuous gaze fell on Jiang Mian, sizing her up and down. "A piece of trash with an F-level healing ability dares to challenge someone with an F+ healing ability?"
It's not surprising that the woman knew her identity.
When the Imperial Marshal brought back the real daughter, in order to make up for it, he held an introductory banquet for the original owner, introduced her to all his friends, and even broadcast it live across the entire StarNet. The news on StarNet was even published in the newspapers.
The original owner was a poor girl from a remote planet with a healing power of F level. She turned her life around and became the beloved daughter of a noble and wealthy imperial marshal.
For a time, it enjoyed immense popularity.
However, she is only a healer with a healing power level of F.
Jiang Yu, the fake heiress, is a healer with a healing ability of 3A level.
No matter where she went, Jiang Yu was always better than her, and Jiang Yu also subtly suppressed the original owner of the body.
The original owner was not a good person, and neither was Jiang Yu. In their open and covert struggles, the original owner's schemes to harm others were easily reversed, and in the end, he was tricked into being exiled to this polluted planet.
Meanwhile, the original owner's blood relatives all sided with the fake heiress. The original owner went from being penniless to having everything, and then back to having nothing, before finally dying.
It can only be said that there is always something hateful about a pitiful person.
Jiang Mian looked at the woman in front of him. The woman said she was from a remote star, so why add "rural" and "mountainous"? There was no need to emphasize it like that.
Moreover, F+ is only one level higher than F, so what's there to be proud of? Not to mention that Jiang Mian's healing power is not F, but 3s.
Now, this woman is just like her, living on this polluted planet, more remote than any other mountain village! Who is more noble than whom?
"If F-grade is trash, then F+ grade isn't trash?" Jiang Mian replied to the woman quietly.
"You!" The woman seemed to choke, her face turning pale, unable to speak for a moment.
Jiang Mian raised his wrist to check the time; there were still five minutes left, so he didn't bother arguing with the woman anymore.
"Let's go, let's put on our masks and get out of here quickly, there's no time." Jiang Mian grabbed Zhao Ci's wrist from behind and pulled him away from the woman, glancing at the other orcs and calling out, "Let's go!"
She then grabbed Zhao Ci's wrist and quickly walked towards the exit.
The woman in the black dress was stunned for a moment. After realizing what was happening, she looked at Jiang Mian's back and shouted, "You definitely don't have many star coins on you. I'll offer you 500,000 star coins to sell me your butterfly beast slave, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ci's eyebrows twitched slightly. Given Jiang Mian's nature, it was possible that she would sell him out of necessity for survival.
He subconsciously glanced at Jiang Mian beside him.
But the girl simply put on a white smiley face oxygen mask quickly and efficiently, then looked at him. Seeing that he hadn't moved yet, she urged, "Hurry up and put on your oxygen mask, we're going out."
The oxygen mask looks no different from a regular mask on the outside, but its internal structure is different; both the nose and mouth are connected for breathing oxygen. Zhao Ci paused for a moment, her beautiful eyebrows slightly lowered, her delicate, flower-petal-like lips moving slightly as she prompted, "Five hundred thousand star coins, aren't you tempted?"
When Jiang Mian heard this, she was stunned for a moment and didn't react at first. Then she realized what was going on and quickly said, "Don't worry, I won't sell you. You should put on your oxygen mask quickly."
He's about to be executed in a few minutes, isn't this person nervous at all?
At this point, they're still pondering whether or not to sell him.
Jiang Mian really didn't know what to say.
The imperial edict paused for a moment, then finally put on the oxygen mask. It was a white mask with one side pure white and the other side half a purple butterfly wing.
Finally, just before they were about to be executed, the group left through the airport gates.
Jiang Mian had already come out, but one could still faintly hear several loud gunshots coming from inside the airport terminal.
Whether it was a human or an orc, they died under the gun.
Life seems insignificant here.
Outside the airport, the sky was gray and filled with unknown pollutant particles, giving it a gloomy feel. However, the temperature was not gloomy at all; on the contrary, it was scorching hot.
The sweltering heat almost made Jiang Mian think she had stepped into an oven.
The sky looked overcast, but the temperature was so hot it made her dizzy.
Jiang Mian: Is this a weather scam?
Therefore, this polluted planet not only has air pollution problems, but its temperature and environment are also extremely harsh!
But you still have to leave.
"Let's go." Jiang Mian paused for a moment, looked at the map on the quantum computer, and walked towards Baicheng.
Although Baicheng is close in distance, it still takes three days to walk there, so you'll need to stop in some of the cities along the way to replenish your nutrient supplies.
However, Jiang Mian looked at the map on her computer and realized that it would take her two days to reach a city, and she wouldn't be able to replenish any nutrients before then.
Jiang Mian had no choice but to prepare to go hungry for two days, since drinking nutritional supplements outside could lead to accidentally inhaling polluted air.
This polluted air is toxic; it can alter genes, cause gene mutations, and so on.
Jiang Mian still values her life and doesn't take risks easily.
Braving the scorching air even without a bright sun, Jiang Mian headed towards Baicheng, followed by several orcs.
Jiang Mian didn't know how long she had walked. Her feet were almost numb, her head was spinning from the hot air, and she was sweating profusely. All she could see was an endless wasteland without any vegetation, as if she were walking on a road with no end in sight.
Without the help of a supercomputer, it would be really difficult for an average person to distinguish east from west and north from south in such a wasteland.
After a day's journey, the sky grew completely dark, and the temperature suddenly dropped.
"Let's rest here for now." Jiang Mian was not only tired and hungry, but also felt cold.
She couldn't drink the nutritional supplements until they reached the next district.
