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

Chapter 53 Meeting

The ground was damp, and the air was scorching hot.

Beneath her purple, tousled hair, a pair of eyes gleaming with purple-gold light stared at Jiang Mian for a while.

Jiang Mian's long eyelashes fluttered slightly, and her dark, clear eyes fell on him.

It was so quiet around her. Jiang Mian's heart started pounding. Would they not accept her apology?

Just as various thoughts were flashing through Jiang Mian's mind, the imperial edict in front of her said nothing, turned around and continued walking forward, leaving only her back view.

He said nothing, neither mocking nor saying whether he accepted her apology.

Jiang Mian's gaze fell on the small butterfly wings on his back. Fine, flowing gold sand slowly appeared on the purple wings, proving that he was no longer angry.

She blinked slightly, relieved that he wasn't angry anymore.

Jiang Mian followed the imperial edict back home.

It's midnight.

Jiang Mian wrapped herself in a blanket and huddled inside a sofa.

She had planned to have a meeting with five orcs today.

It's about sharing the apartment. It's too troublesome to explain the rent and city fees to each of them individually, so she plans to discuss it with everyone together.

To everyone's surprise, the other four beastmen returned, leaving only Chi Lin behind.

Now, besides Jiang Mian, Qi Xu, and Rong Fei, all four beastmen are sitting on the sofa.

Li Yan raised the red glittering eyebrow stud on his sharp brow bone and sneered, "Next time you can call me when everyone's here. I don't have the habit of waiting for others."

Although he said that, he didn't leave, his dark eyes fixed on Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian glanced at him but didn't say anything. She then looked down at the personal terminal. She had made so many calls and sent so many messages to Chi Lin but he hadn't replied. What was this guy doing out there? Why hadn't he come back yet, so late?

She stood up, about to say that she wouldn't talk about it tonight, and would wait until everyone was there before saying it.

It was at this moment that the door was pushed open and Chi Lin walked in.

Jiang Mian subconsciously looked over, and the other beastmen also looked at Chi Lin at the door.

Chi Lin pushed the door open and entered. Noticing that everyone had gathered in the living room, he paused slightly. Beneath his dark blue, tousled hair, his peach blossom eyes lifted slightly. "Wow, so many people are waiting for me."

"Why are you so late?" Jiang Mian asked quietly. "I called you so many times and sent you so many messages, but you didn't reply."

If I had known he would be back so late, I wouldn't have opened the store today, making her wait so long.

Chi Lin walked in and closed the door, then slowly walked towards Jiang Mian, a smile playing on his lips: "Sister, do you know that what you said is very misleading?"

He chuckled as he approached Jiang Mian, bending slightly to get closer to her. His azure eyes deepened slightly as he spoke softly, "Mistress, don't be angry. The personal terminal was broken. I'll definitely come back earlier next time, and if I don't come back, I'll let my wife know."

A faint smell of blood emanated from Chi Lin.

Jiang Mian was silent for a moment, and then she roughly understood why the other party hadn't replied to her messages and why he had replied so late. This guy must have offended a lot of people, and he got messed up as soon as he went out.

However, this is not a reason for him to call her whatever he wants.

"Thank you. I don't call myself 'female master' or 'wife.' Please call me Jiang Mian from now on." Jiang Mian quietly moved away from Chi Lin, then looked at the other beastmen and began to explain the purpose of today's meeting, "Although everyone is here so late, let's have a quick and simple meeting."

Jiang Mian first listed the city fees and rent, then said, "Except for Qi Xu, you'll all be responsible for paying the city fees and rent from now on. I won't restrict your freedom; you can go wherever you want. And you can take care of your own food and clothing. I believe those of you with a net worth of over 100 million won't have any objections." "Go wherever you want?" Zhao Ci's purplish-gold eyes looked at Jiang Mian with a deep gaze. "Then why don't you unbind yourself?"

"The binding will definitely be lifted. As for how to lift it, please refer to the rules I mentioned before." Jiang Mian smiled politely.

"Then this freedom can only revolve around you." The shimmering light on the wings on the back of the imperial edict diminished.

Yes, life is tied to Jiang Mian's; who wouldn't cherish their own life?

They naturally want to take good care of their own lives.

Jiang Mian is their life.

Jiang Mian blinked gently, without replying to the imperial edict, but simply said, "Alright, that's all. If there are no problems, go back to sleep."

Indeed, no one had any objections.

This is already much better than they initially thought.

The temperature on the exile star plummeted at night. Jiang Mian, wrapped in a blanket, still felt chilly. She quickly walked back to her room, leaving only her back covered by the blanket and the words, "Alright, everyone, goodnight. Go to sleep early."

Jiang Mian was about to go to sleep when there was a knock on the door, and Rong Fei's voice came from outside: "It's me."

She opened the door and looked at Rong Fei, her eyes clear as she asked, "What's wrong?"

"Extend your hand." Rong Fei's silver eyes were extremely gentle and beautiful as he looked down at her.

Jiang Mian was puzzled, but she still reached out her hand.

Rong Fei slowly extended his hand, his long, slender, cold fingers gently touching the back of Jiang Mian's outstretched hand from below, as if supporting her hand from below. Then, he took out a square object with his other hand and placed it in Jiang Mian's palm.

His voice was gentle: "This is a little gadget for keeping warm. You can use it when you're cold. I've already sent you detailed instructions on how to use it."

Rong Fei quickly removed his hand from Jiang Mian's hand.

Jiang Mian thought it was just a high-tech gadget for heating, so she didn't refuse it.

"Thank you, Rong Fei." Jiang Mian held the small, flexible, yet malleable square in her hand, her eyes filled with curiosity.

It has a silky smooth feel, yet it can sculpt!
What an amazing material!

"Goodnight." Rong Fei's silver eyes flickered slightly, his lips curved into a faint smile, and he gently raised his hand to pat her head.

Before Jiang Mian could react, Rong Fei had already turned around and gone back to his room.

These rooms weren't very soundproof, and the orcs' ears were even more sensitive to sound, so when Rong Fei went to find Jiang Mian, the other orcs knew about it.

Chi Lin:?
Damn, this lizardman is so good at getting things done?

Chi Lin was indeed being chased by enemies today. He has many business enemies, and it's unclear which one it is. In order to prevent those people from discovering his relationship with Jiang Mian and implicating Jiang Mian, he delayed his return for a long time.

He went out to handle business matters. As a boss, he is very busy and usually handles things on his personal computer. He only went out today because he was required to do so.

Like Tong Liyan, he also used a quantum computer to link to another robot body to conduct business.

However, there aren't many businesses that require his involvement; today, however, is a trap.

Those people actually found this place.
