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

Chapter 9 Brilliant Colors
Each orc's room has the same layout, and the number of potted plants is also the same: four potted plants.

Each potted plant is now half a person tall.

Jiang Mian was holding a potted plant, but the green plant was taller than her and blocked her view.

She could only glance at the ground slightly, but unexpectedly, she tripped over the threshold when she went out. Just when she thought an accident was about to happen, a strong hand grabbed her arm and steadied her.

Jiang Mian glanced at Rong Fei, who was holding a half-person-high potted plant in one hand and grabbing her arm with the other.

He remained composed, and holding a half-person-high potted plant in one hand still seemed effortless.

"Be careful." Rong Fei glanced down at her and then withdrew his hand.

"Thank you." Jiang Mian smiled faintly at him.

Rong Fei's silver eyes paused slightly, a hint of dark and unpredictable coldness flashing within them. He didn't reveal any flaws, but simply smiled gently and said, "It's nothing."

Jiang Mian didn't know whether Rong Fei was sincere or not, but she did have a good impression of him now.

After thanking her, she carried the half-person-high potted plant and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

She asked them to put all the potted plants in the kitchen so she could easily retrieve them using some of the kitchen utensils.

As Jiang Mian passed through the hall, he saw three people sitting in three corners. He thought that since everyone would need to drink the extracted nutrients, how could these three people not work?
"Liyan, you go and move too," Jiang Mian commanded. "Linyu, Zhaoci, you two come with me. I have something to tell you."

Worried that she wouldn't be able to get them to work, she added, "No work, no food. You have to work to reap the rewards."

Li Yan stood up nimbly, his eyebrows slightly raised, the row of red nails gleaming: "I'd like to see what tricks you're up to."

He said he would obey and went to help Jiang Mian move the potted plants.

Jiang Mian decided to let bygones be bygones regarding his rude tone and just get to work.

A tall, slender figure also stood up from the sofa.

Zhao Ci's beautiful purple-gold eyes held a cold elegance, and her pretty cheeks were adorned with purple-gold glitter reminiscent of butterflies, making her exceptionally beautiful.

Undeniably, he is truly beautiful and striking; his stunningly beautiful features are captivating at first glance.

But his gaze fell on Jiang Mian as if she were trash, his lips moved slightly, and he gave a light sneer: "You guys play by yourselves."

He stopped looking at Jiang Mian and simply lifted his long legs to leave.

Jiang Mian watched his departing figure. Her initially somewhat depressed mood dissipated inexplicably when she saw the two tiny, purplish-gold butterfly wings that had spread out on his back.

Unlike the towering butterfly wings of last night, the wings of the two butterflies have now shrunk, reaching just to the length of an arm.

One small purple-gold butterfly had its wings open normally, while the wings of the other small butterfly were wrapped with bandages layer upon layer.

It's... kind of tiny and cute.

Jiang Mian was indeed charmed.

And the other little butterfly wing was wrapped in white bandages, making it look so pitiful.

Yes.

Those cute little wings are broken and injured; they definitely need to rest.

Jiang Mian withdrew her gaze, and Lin Yu had already walked to her side.

She glanced at him sideways and smiled, "Let's go, let's go."

Jiang Mian always showed more patience and affection towards Lin Yu's familiar face.

With his cold and weary eyes half-closed, he watched as Jiang Mian walked ahead of him. He stood there for a while before slowly following.

Who is she looking at through him?

Jiang Mian led Lin Yu to the kitchen and said, "It's very simple. Lin Yu, just pull out all these potted plants and put them aside, then wash them clean!"

"Hmm," Lin Yu responded indifferently, almost inaudibly.

He squatted down and began to tend to the potted plants.

After pulling out the potted plant, Jiang Mian carried the potted plant with only soil back to her room. She looked like a busy little bee.

Lin Yu glanced almost imperceptibly at the light and agile figure before quickly looking away.

Such vibrant life force.

She seemed like a completely different person from before.

He lowered his eyelids coldly, his whole demeanor always cold and dark.

After Rong Fei and the others finished moving the potted plants in the house, Jiang Mian asked them to move all the potted plants with only soil left to her room.

The busy period has finally come to an end.

Jiang Mian stood in the kitchen, looking at the four orcs in front of her, and nodded with satisfaction: "Alright, everyone, thank you for your hard work. You can go and rest now."

Lin Yu didn't say much and was the first to turn around and leave.

Li Yan stared intently at her with his cold, dark eyes, and finally asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Chi Lin blinked and smiled, "Sister, are we going to eat these potted plants tonight? I can eat them no matter how bad they taste."

"You'll find out later," Jiang Mian said casually.

"Okay, I'll wait for my sister's surprise." Chi Lin smiled brightly.

After he left, Li Yan only glanced at her once before leaving as well.

Only Jiang Mian and Rong Fei remained in the kitchen.

"Hmm? Aren't you going back to rest?" Jiang Mian was about to go back to rest herself, but seeing that Rong Fei hadn't left yet, she assumed he had something else to do, so she asked.

Rong Fei slowly walked to the water tap in front of him, stretched out a pair of long, slender hands covered in mud, and without looking at Jiang Mian, lowered his long eyelashes to his hands, and replied to Jiang Mian indifferently: "No, just washing my hands."

"Okay," Jiang Mian replied.

As she silently stepped out, she glanced at Rong Fei, who was washing his hands.

Water flowed from the tap and landed on his muddy, slender fingers.

The fingers are long and slender, with distinct joints and faintly visible blue veins.

The water had washed away the mud from his hands, but he washed them in the same spot many times until that patch of cold skin turned a sickly red.

Jiang Mian even suspected that he was going to rub off a layer of his skin.

She quickly looked away and left.

Rong Fei seems to have a severe case of mysophobia.

Jiang Mian was too lazy to think about it anymore. She had been busy all day and wanted to go back and lie down.

After spending half a day together, Jiang Mian felt that maybe they didn't really want to kill her.

He just dislikes her, right?
It was dinnertime. Usually, Rong Fei would be in the kitchen cooking at this time, but today the ingredients were all used up.

For reasons unknown, Rong Fei walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen lights were on, and someone was inside.

Jiang Mian only has five nutrient solutions left, and she still has five orcs to feed, so she has to be careful with the food.

It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.

So, I took a nutrient solution, diluted it with water, boiled it, and that's how I spent the night.

Rong Fei stood at the kitchen doorway, silent, only looking at Jiang Mian, whose back was to him.

He noticed that the plants hadn't been processed yet, so it seemed they weren't there to extract nutrients.
