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

Chapter 284 Prisoners of War
“They were all female prisoners,” Purple Gold Butterfly added quietly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ci frowned slightly: "Don't let him die in bed, let him go mining."

The Purple Gold Butterfly, also known as Butterfly Floss, replied, "Yes, sir."

The emperor ignored the matter and went to find someone else.

On the other side, Jiang Mian, like the other female orcs, was kept in a container truck. The truck kept moving forward, and the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate, with very few people around. It was obvious that no one lived there.

Soon, in half a day, they arrived at the mine.

The stars twinkled in the night as the container truck came to a stop.

All the female orcs got off the vehicle.

It was too late, and those people weren't so heartless as to make them start working.

A group of female orcs were driven into the basement.

Jiang Mian saw the sheep-like girl, quickly walked up to her, and grabbed her wrist.

The sheep girl seemed surprised and instinctively tried to shake off her hand.

"I only have one question: why did you push me this morning?" Jiang Mian asked directly.

The sheep girl stopped resisting and then said matter-of-factly, "We were looking for you anyway. If you just stand there and don't leave, we'll be the ones who suffer. Why can't I push you out?"

Jiang Mian's gaze swept over the whip marks on the other person's arm again, and then she let go of the other person's hand. She was originally going to leave, but who knew that the other person would push her. If she hadn't reacted in time, she would have fallen flat on her face.

However, she doesn't want to explain anything more now.

The sheep girl glanced at her expressionlessly and continued walking forward.

Jiang Mian also slowly walked forward. This place was very large, like a base. This should not be the place where miners like them lived, but more like the place where the higher-ups lived.

Bringing them here now is just a temporary measure.

And they were living in a basement, with so many people crammed together.

Jiang Mian was about to follow the others into the basement when a hand reached out. She instinctively grabbed the person and threw them over her shoulder.

The Black Butterfly Orcs were also surprised by this turn of events, as were the surrounding Orcs.

Only when a pain shot through his back did the Black Butterfly Beastman snap, "What are you standing there for? Take her down now!"

Jiang Mian also saw several orcs with guns around her. She deliberately stepped hard on the orc's ribs before releasing the Black Butterfly orc, raised her hands in surrender, and obediently let them capture her.

The Black Butterfly Beastman stood up, his dark eyes fixed on Jiang Mian: "You wretch, don't be ungrateful!"

He raised his hand high, intending to slap the other person, but Jiang Mian paused, subconsciously turning his head and closing his eyes, but after a while, the slap did not come down.

When the Black Butterfly Beastman saw Jiang Mian's beautiful face, he raised his hand high, but stopped halfway. He couldn't bear to hurt her skin, so he had to give up.

Jiang Mian opened her eyes and looked at him. She saw a very rugged-looking orc with a beard and messy hair, staring at her fiercely with a pair of dark eyes.

"You'll be assigned to the mines tomorrow. If you know what's good for you, you'd better try to please me, and I might be able to assign you to some better mines. Otherwise, you'll be assigned to those dirty and tiring ones." The Black Butterfly Orc said viciously. "If you stay with me, you'll suffer much less."

Jiang Mian's expression remained unchanged: "If I'm with you, I might as well go to those dirty and tiring mines."

The black butterfly orc's eyes grew even more terrifying: "Fine, fine, let's see how long you can last!"

He uttered these harsh words and left with the other orcs. Jiang Mian paused, thinking the other party would try to force their way in.

On the other side, the Black Butterfly Beastman, also known as Hei Xu, was walking outside.

His subordinate, curious, asked, "Brother, if you like it, why don't you just force yourself on me? Why go through all that trouble?"

Hei Xu's expression was sinister. He simply said, "It's no fun to force her, but she still wouldn't listen to reason, so I had no choice but to force her."

The subordinate next to him understood and replied, "That woman's skin is so delicate, she can't do heavy work at all. Everyone in our mine has a fixed mining task every day. If you don't complete the task, you will be beaten. After she suffers there, she will want to come to me in a few days."

Hei Xu thought so too, and nodded. After all, he had always treated those female orcs this way, and when they couldn't take it anymore, they would come to him.

The next second, he looked at the personal terminal and frowned.

"Brother, what's wrong?" The subordinate next to him asked instinctively when he saw Hei Xu frowning.

"Lord Zhaoge is coming." Hei Xu frowned. If Zhaoge saw such a beautiful female beastman, he would definitely not let her go, and then he would be out of the picture.

Therefore, they must not be placed in the same place.

The subordinate beside him had clearly thought of this as well, and said, "That's simple. Send Lord Zhaoge to the easy mine, and arrange for that woman to go to the difficult mine. The two places are so far apart, they definitely won't run into each other."

Hei Xu nodded, then muttered, "Lord Zhao Ci is back, and seems to be looking for someone..."

He seemed to have a guess as to who Lord Zhaoci was looking for.

But when Hei Xu recalled that stunning glance he made under the blazing sun, he still selfishly pretended not to know.

Jiang Mian thought these were not Zhao Ci's subordinates, but they were, only these subordinates were not Zhao Ci's direct subordinates, but subordinates of his direct subordinates.

The song she heard was not the song of the court, but the song of imperial edict.

She assumed it was some other orc faction.

Jiang Mian walked to the basement and sat down next to the sheep girl.

The female beastmen all seemed to cast glances at her, albeit subtly.

After all, they all saw Jiang Mian being stopped by the mine manager, Hei Xu, and what happened was self-evident.

Jiang Mian noticed their gazes but pretended not to.

The sheep-girl next to her glanced at her, then said, "Why didn't you seize such a good opportunity?"

Jiang Mian:?
What good opportunity?

"Hilarious! Dieyun even went so far as to offer herself to the mine manager, but he didn't even look at her. He took a fancy to this white fox instead, and then this white fox rejected him." A weak but gloating voice rang out.

Jiang Mian frowned and looked at the orc who had spoken.

A snake-woman beastman, her face covered with red snake scales, her body bearing many whip marks, and her lips dry and pale.

"That's better than you. You tried to escape several times but got caught and beaten half to death." Another woman with pink butterflies sneered. "It's hard to say if you'll even be alive tomorrow."

"What's all the noise about! It's so noisy! We're going to the mines tomorrow, and you all have the energy to talk here!" another woman's voice rang out.
