Chapter 57 True Relatives
So, so close!
Jiang Mian stared at Chi Lin in astonishment, still unable to come to her senses: "You..."

Beneath his dark blue, tousled hair, a pair of peach blossom eyes shimmered gently, his gaze fixed on Jiang Mian with a restrained yet yearning intensity, concealing deep emotions. He couldn't help but lightly lick the corner of his lips, his tongue a deep red, as if savoring the memory or yearning for something more.

"Sister, aren't you going to kiss me anymore?" Chi Lin's voice was extremely hoarse, filled with a deep desire.

Jiang Mian felt a lump in his throat and couldn't say a word.

On the one hand, it was her own request; on the other hand, she didn't expect Chi Lin to be so willing to go all out.

Okay, this guy won, she lost.

Jiang Mian said with a sullen expression, "Let's just forget about what happened just now. We're all adults, there's no need to take it to heart."

She was lost in thought and wanted to go back to her room to reflect for a while, but she didn't expect that she had just told that woman that she and her beastman were not in that kind of relationship, and now she was already kissing her beastman slave. The relationship was hard to explain.

"Sister, aren't you going to take responsibility?" Chi Lin asked in a low, husky voice tinged with laughter.

Jiang Mian paused, a chill running down his spine.

How embarrassing, hahaha...

"Didn't you want to be my beast slave? Hahaha, of course there's no such thing as taking responsibility, hahaha..." Jiang Mian didn't wait for Chi Lin to reply before quickly heading upstairs. Thinking about escaping this place that made her feel so withdrawn, she felt her smile was so stiff and awkward.

However, when he reached the top of the stairs, his eyes met those of Zhao Ci, who lived on the first floor below the stairs.

Zhao Ci gripped the doorknob tightly, her beautiful eyes sharp and piercing as she stared intently at Jiang Mian, the golden glitter on her cheeks gleaming brightly.

Jiang Mian paused slightly, wondering when the imperial edict had appeared, how long he had been standing there, and how much he had read.

Did they also see the scene where she accidentally kissed Chi Lin?

"Hi?" Jiang Mian thought that since their eyes had met, it wouldn't be very polite not to greet him.

The next second, Zhao Ci turned around and slammed the door shut.

Jiang Mian paused. She saw that the little butterfly on his back was a dark purple color and was vibrating angrily at a high frequency in a small arc. He was angry.

Jiang Mian:?
Why is he angry? She didn't seem to have offended him this time, did she?

Jiang Mian didn't understand, nor did she know why Zhao Ci was suddenly angry. She didn't intend to ask, and silently went upstairs to her room to shut herself away.

She went back to her room and fiddled with her personal terminal. The various equipment and medicinal plants she had ordered would still be arriving in two days. She had bought them when she was in exile on the starship, and it had been almost half a month since then!
So she started monetizing her knowledge on the cloud again.

Every day, Yan Ri would share with Jiang Mian the various rare medicinal plants he encountered, which made Jiang Mian very eager to get to know this netizen so that he could obtain any rare medicinal plants from him in the future.

Jiang Mian knew that Yan Ri, this netizen, was probably trying to lure her, a pharmacist, with rare medicinal plants, and even though she knew it, she still shamefully fell for him.

It's possible that if the other party invites her to meet again next time, she might actually agree.

Jiang Mian discovered that the "Open Box" question on the cloud website had disappeared, as had the question of the "Open Box" cloud website creator.

It should have been handled by the person in charge of managing the cloud network.

After all, it's really impolite to open someone else's box.

Jiang Mian's private messages on the cloud network were still flooded with messages, and coupled with the poor network on this exile star, the page she displayed on the star network was lagging and even glitched for a while...

Jiang Mian:......

She tapped the personal terminal a few times, but there was no response.

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

There was a knock on her door.

Jiang Mian opened the door and saw Qi Xu wearing a mask.

He was still wearing a mask. Jiang Mian saw this and said nothing. If wearing the mask gave him peace of mind, then he would wear it.

"Master, someone has delivered an invitation outside, saying it's for you." Qi Xu held an invitation in her slender, beautiful fingers, bowed slightly, and presented it to Jiang Mian with both hands.

Jiang Mian paused, took the letter, and closed the door behind her, simply responding with a soft "Mm".

Qi Xu didn't say anything. He walked very quietly and slowly towards his room.

He saw it too.

That scorpion beast slave kissed its master...

The beast tamer showed no reluctance whatsoever; its eyes were filled only with longing and affection…

This shows one thing: the owner is really good.

They will not whip orcs, much less torture them...

Jiang Mian sat on the bed with the beautifully bound invitation in her hand and began to read it. She was slightly taken aback when she saw the words "Invitation from the City Lord" on the cover. She didn't seem to know the City Lord of Baicheng. Why would he invite her to be a guest?

The invitation letter clearly states her name, time, and location, inviting her to have dinner at Villa No. 01, Lane 1, Main City at 7:00 PM tomorrow.

Jiang Mian didn't know why the City Lord of Baicheng would invite her, or what he wanted to do with her. But since he was the City Lord of Baicheng, she had to give him some face when staying in his city, so she decided to go and accept the invitation.

Villa No. 01, Lane 1, Main City.

Jiang Mian followed the map guidance from the quantum computer and arrived here.

Both are two-story buildings, but the city lord's residence is different; it's a two-story villa.

As she walked along, she estimated that this was the only villa there.

Only the city lord lives in a villa.

Jiang Mian handed the invitation to the guard at the door and went inside.

"Hey, you there!" A somewhat familiar female voice came from behind.

Jiang Mian turned his head and saw Lin Xuan at the door.

Lin Xuan was still accompanied by five orcs. She handed over her invitation and entered, while the other five orcs were led to another location.

"Hi, we meet again." Lin Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly and walked towards Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian felt it was a dream. Yesterday they were at odds, but today Lin Xuan was able to greet her without taking yesterday seriously.

"Hi?" Jiang Mian replied hesitantly.

"What's your name?" Lin Xuan asked directly. "You didn't tell me your name yesterday."

"Jiang Mian," Jiang Mian replied with two words.

"Oh, I don't know you." Lin Xuan said casually, glancing at Jiang Mian. "The healing power test will be tonight. I want to see how much your healing power is, but I guess it's not high. Otherwise, why would you be here on this exile star?"

"Do you know what's going on at the banquet tonight?" Jiang Mian asked.

"You don't know?" Lin Xuan glanced at Jiang Mian, as if she had suddenly realized something. "It's understandable that you don't know, since you just moved here."

"This banquet is for testing healing power. Only long-term healers will be invited. After the test, the treatment and tasks assigned will vary depending on the level of healing power," Lin Xuan explained casually to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian looked at Lin Xuan for a while, thinking that after what happened yesterday, this person would ignore her.

"What's wrong? I'm being so kind as to explain to you, and you're surprised?" Lin Xuan said leisurely. "That's ridiculous. Do those few lowly beast slaves around you even deserve to make me go to such lengths to target you?"
