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

Chapter 77 Outer City
As dusk fell, the city was shrouded in a dim light. It was quite far from the solar system, and the black particles floating in the air further diffused the light.

Therefore, the Exile Star at dusk always has an extremely desolate feel.

Jiang Mian looked at the address given by Lin Xuan on the quantum computer and found that following this address, they were getting further and further away from the main city, which meant that the Night Demon that Lin Xuan was in was in a secondary city.

The air quality in the sub-city is naturally not as good as that in the main city.

Although inhaling the air of the secondary city wouldn't pose a life-threatening risk of genetic mutation, and strong orcs wouldn't even be greatly affected, she, being a fragile human, should still wear an oxygen mask.

"Qixu, you should put on an oxygen mask too." Jiang Mian put on a smiley face mask and glanced at Qixu. "After all, the air in the outer city isn't very good."

Qi Xu shook her head, her pink eyes softening: "No need, Master."

Jiang Mian thought that Qi Xu was a beastman, so it shouldn't have much of an impact. Besides, Qi Xu had already said it wasn't necessary, so Jiang Mian naturally didn't try to persuade him further.

The outer city and the inner city are indeed very different, and this difference is not only in air quality, but also in the number of people.

On their way to Night Demon, Jiang Mian and Qi Xu saw people or beastmen lying on the ground everywhere, sleeping with newspapers rolled up in their sleeves.

The air is good in the main city, but the cost is high. Most people in the exiles are not wealthy, so most choose to live in the outer city. Since housing also costs money, they can't afford to live in a house, so they sleep anywhere.

A moment later, Jiang Mian stopped at the entrance of an alley. The computer instructed her to walk straight through the long alley.

The alley was dimly lit, crowded with orcs and humans lying on both sides, and various bottles of liquor were piled up everywhere. You might bump into someone's foot if you walked through the middle.

In that instant, she felt as if she had arrived at a place where homeless people gathered.

Where exactly did Lin Xuan come from? The name "Night Enchantress" sounds like a nightclub, and it's located in such a chaotic place. That nightclub must be pretty disorganized too.

Jiang Mian doubted whether she could really walk through this long alley. What if she got robbed by homeless people halfway through?

Even more terrifying is the loss of one's innocence, which is violated by many people.

Moreover, as she stood at the alley entrance, she could vaguely sense the sticky gazes that were secretly falling on her, greedy and lewd.

Even with the little rabbit Qixu, who could fight, by her side, she still didn't feel very safe.

Jiang Mian frowned slightly, but instead of going inside, he sent a message to Lin Xuan via his personal terminal.

Jiang Mian: Where did you go? It was a long alley full of homeless people. If I walked through the middle of it, I'd probably be skinned alive.

Lin Xuan: You're there already? It's okay, don't be afraid, just go straight there.

Jiang Mian: No, let's find another person to do this favor. I'm going home to sleep.

Lin Xuan: No way! I'll come out to pick you up myself, okay? I'm already out there! Don't go! You have to sing me a birthday song! Otherwise, I'll lose!

If she loses the adventure, her fox beastman's hand will be chopped off.

Lin Xuan didn't know how things had turned out this way while she was playing.

She enjoys whipping orcs, but she doesn't want to cripple them; it would make her feel disgusted, and she doesn't like crippled orcs.

Just now, she was playing with the orcs as a wager. Someone suggested that she use her fox orc's hand as the wager. In the moment, Lin Xuan impulsively agreed. After realizing what had happened, she regretted it. But it would be embarrassing and discouraging to back out directly, so Lin Xuan had no choice but to place all her hopes on Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian absolutely cannot leave!
Jiang Mian paused upon seeing the message. Since Lin Xuan had already said so and even personally come out to pick her up, it was naturally inappropriate for her to leave now.

Moreover, Jiang Mian felt much safer once Lin Xuan brought out six orcs. Soon, Jiang Mian saw Lin Xuan approaching with six orcs. She led the orcs through the long alley, her face flushed and reeking of alcohol.

Lin Xuan excitedly grabbed Jiang Mian's hand: "You're finally here!"

She pulled Jiang Mian into the alley and walked forward, saying, "If you hadn't come soon, my fox-beastman hand would have been lost."

Jiang Mian:?
"So the purpose of you calling me here?" Jiang Mian's eyelids twitched slightly. Her gaze swept over the several orcs around Lin Xuan. They all had many wounds, some of which were newly added and still bleeding.

She realized that Lin Xuan hadn't taken her previous warning to heart at all.

"I lost a game and chose Truth or Dare. Then that person pointed to you in my list on my personal computer and asked you to sing me a birthday song in the Night Charm Hall. If you sing it, my fox beastman's hand will be saved. If you don't sing it, Xuanji's hand will be chopped off." Lin Xuan felt a little guilty as she spoke to Jiang Mian.

They thought this was a perfectly normal thing, but when they talked to Jiang Mian, they felt like they had done something wrong.

Lin Xuan felt something was off.

Perhaps Jiang Mian and she have different views.

Jiang Mian has been brainwashed by the Beastman Association.

"I can sing the birthday song," Jiang Mian replied casually. "Now that the favor has been repaid, we're even."

At that point, this neighbor will simply keep to himself and avoid any further conflict.

Lin Xuan seemed to realize something, and gritted her teeth: "No, I was just playing with the orcs, and you're already cutting ties with me? Orcs are just lowly creatures. It's only natural for humans to keep them and play with them. It doesn't matter if they die. Are you going to cut ties with me because of this?"

She then quickly added, "Today was an accident. I know you and I have different views, so I didn't originally plan to invite you to this gathering where people play with and trample on orcs."

Jiang Mian paused, then glanced at Lin Xuan with a puzzled look: "Why are you explaining so much to me? Do you like me?"

Lin Xuan's lips curled slightly: "I like handsome men with eight-pack abs and great skills."

After a short while, Lin Xuan said again, "Forget it, if we can't play together, we can't play together."

She doesn't necessarily have to keep Jiang Mian as a friend.

As a 2C-level healer, she has no shortage of friends.

Jiang Mian glanced at her and still said, "You have a kitten at home, right? If you don't treat beastmen as equals to humans, then treat beastmen as equals to pets and see what happens. What's the difference between abusing a beastman and abusing a kitten?"

She had visited her home before and saw a white kitten that was very well cared for and had all the necessary accessories.

Lin Xuan frowned. She naturally hated animal cruelty. "But beastmen are different..."

“They’re both forms of abuse, there’s no difference.” Jiang Mian’s words silenced Lin Xuan’s attempt to argue.

Lin Xuan was also taken aback, as if she had been pulled out of her long-held belief that humans kept beastmen as captives.

She paused, then continued, "Jiang Mian, you must be someone who does speeches and lobbying in the Beastman Association, right? You're so good at brainwashing people!"

She felt that Jiang Mian's words made sense!
