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

Chapter 143 Heartbeat
Under the incandescent light.

This was the first time Jiang Mian had heard of Lin Yu vying for the emperor's favor, so naturally she couldn't refuse.

Her fingers twitched slightly, her dark, clear eyes flickered, and as she lifted her eyelids to look at Chi Lin, he seemed to have guessed her choice immediately. His azure eyes stared at her, and their gazes met.

Before Jiang Mian could say anything, Chi Lin hugged her waist tightly, his azure eyes deep and unfathomable, and said softly, "Sister, don't give up halfway when you're trying to coax someone."

Lin Yu, who was standing next to her, also turned his gaze to her and tightened his grip on her hand.

For a moment, both of their eyes fell on Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian:......

Soon, Jiang Mian placed her hand on Chi Lin's chest and pushed him away. Chi Lin was pushed back a little. In that instant, he seemed to know that Jiang Mian had still chosen the snake beastman. His eyes lowered, dark and sad.

Jiang Mian's gaze had already shifted away from Chi Lin, so she naturally didn't see the dark emotions churning in his eyes.

She turned her head to look at Lin Yu, and gently squeezed his fingers slightly, shaking them lightly: "Lin Yu, tonight is your first time warming my bed, so let's sleep together. Now you should go back to your room and take good care of your wounds."

As Jiang Mian spoke, she pulled her hand out of his palm.

Lin Yu stared at her for a while, then nodded slightly and left to go back to his room.

Chi Lin was still standing behind Jiang Mian, his mind filled with thoughts of how she had pushed him away. She had actually pushed him away!

How could she push him away...?

His heart began to ache, his eyes were half-closed, and he didn't hear what Jiang Mian said to the snake-beastman at all.

Before long, the snake-beastman left first. Just when Chi Lin thought Jiang Mian was also going to leave with the snake-beastman, his hand, which was hanging by his side, subconsciously reached out to hold her hand and keep her there.

The next second, huh? How come she grabbed his hand first?

Chi Lin paused and looked at Jiang Mian, his gaze sliding down to Jiang Mian's hand holding his.

Jiang Mian took Chi Lin's hand and led him outside, saying, "Let's go out for a bit."

She didn't leave with the snake-beastman; instead, she took his hand and went out, a gesture that clearly pleased him.

My heart was pounding so low just now, but now it's pounding so high with excitement.

On the other side, when Lin Yu walked back to his room, he stopped and turned around to see Jiang Mian holding the scorpion beastman's hand as they walked out.

He stood there watching the two figures disappear into the darkness.

Lin Yu's eyelids remained cold and weary, half-closed. When he turned around, he seemed to only glance at Jiang Mian's retreating figure as she pulled the scorpion beastman away. Once she could no longer see him, he turned back to go back to his room.

There was a person sitting on the sofa next to me.

Rong Fei watched this drama of vying for favor with indifference.

Now there's another person vying for favor, it's really unpleasant to watch.

"I didn't expect you to be vying for favor too?" Rong Fei said indifferently, his gaze falling on the pitch-black area outside the door shrouded in darkness. "But it seems you failed."

She still took the scorpion with her and went outside.

Lin Yu paused slightly, not looking at Rong Fei, not answering, but simply saying emotionlessly, "And what about you? Sitting here the whole time, did you think she would notice you?"

At least he secured the opportunity to warm the bed tonight; otherwise, based on his guess, Jiang Mian might have wanted to sleep alone.

After saying this, he seemed uninterested in Rong Fei's response and walked straight to his room. Rong Fei, however, spoke softly, seemingly to Lin Yu, yet also to himself, his gaze fixed on the door: "The female master is young and easily blinded by wildflowers and weeds outside. She'll come home when she gets tired of them."

He seemed to regard himself as the rightful wife.

Actually, it wasn't just him; Chi Lin also considered himself the rightful wife.

Lin Yu's long, narrow, red eyes darkened slightly; he was the true empress.

You orcs are just passersby in her life.

Several orcs wanted to secretly kill each other so that they would be the only orc left to become Jiang Mian's sole official orc husband.

On the other side, Jiang Mian pulled Chi Lin out.

Chi Lin gently squeezed her hand back and said slowly, "Sister, didn't you let that snake-beastman warm your bed? Why did you drag me out here?"

Did he think that by doing this, he would no longer hold it against her for pushing him away earlier?

"Just trying to coax you," Jiang Mian said softly, then glanced at him sideways. "Didn't you say we couldn't give up halfway?"

Chi Lin's eyes flickered slightly. Hearing these words, he felt a sweet, tingling sensation in his heart. He was so weak-willed; all she had to do was give him a piece of candy, and he would be immediately appeased.

"Okay, how are you going to coax me this time, sister?" Chi Lin pretended to be reserved, but her heart was trembling.

After a short while, Jiang Mian stopped in a dark alley where people usually pass by.

Before Chi Lin could react, he was gently pressed against the wall next to him, and Jiang Mian hugged his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed his Adam's apple.

However, the alley was a bit dark, so it wasn't very clear. The kiss first landed on his neck, and then, as if slowly groping, landed on his Adam's apple.

Chi Lin subconsciously placed his hands on Jiang Mian's waist, swallowed hard, and his Adam's apple bobbed.

A soft, moist touch and slightly pointed teeth followed as they glided across his Adam's apple.

His heart was pounding wildly with excitement.

"Sister, are you going to coax her right here?" Chi Lin's eyes gleamed with desire, his voice becoming hoarse. "Aren't you afraid someone will see?"

He thought she was going to take him somewhere, but he didn't expect it to just be to this alley.
"Is it exciting? Do you like it?" Jiang Mian tightened her grip on his Adam's apple slightly.

Chi Lin's breathing quickened slightly, her heart pounded, but she chuckled softly, "Sister, this is so exciting! I love it!"

Although Jiang Mian asked the question, his quick and enthusiastic reply made her blush and feel a little embarrassed, her cheeks burning slightly.

Before Jiang Mian could react, she was pinned against the wall, and the person in front of her lowered his head and bit her lips, kissing her passionately.

"Sister, that snake beastman is waiting for you in the room, so are we having an affair outside?" Chi Lin's flirtatious voice rang out, his teeth biting her lip and pulling it slightly.

Jiang Mian's chest heaved violently as she wrapped her arms around his neck, her cheeks flushed, and she spoke softly, "I'm just trying to comfort you."

What affair?! She didn't have an affair! He was her beastly husband!

Footsteps seemed to be coming from the alley, as if someone was about to pass by.

Jiang Mian's heart raced, and she became slightly nervous. Actually, she was a little embarrassed to be seen kissing, but she had already reassured people and was going all out.
