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

Chapter 293 Coming
The light here is somewhat dim, and the sky is filled with stars.

Jiang Mian stood next to the lion-beastman, pinching his fingers to loosen his bones and relieve the pain.

The other person's muscles were rock hard, just like Li Yan's.

Fortunately, she had already honed a set of special skills while training with Li Yan.

next second.

Suddenly, a lot of footsteps and lights appeared in the distance.

Jiang Mian squinted slightly because of the somewhat glaring light.

People gradually approached, and in the darkness, the faint golden butterfly patterns were faintly visible, with many purple-gold butterfly beastmen.

However, Jiang Mian saw mostly black butterfly beastmen here, but not a single purple-gold butterfly beastman.

Why have so many purple-gold butterfly orcs suddenly appeared?
Jiang Mian's heart began to beat slightly faster as she thought of something. Could it be that an imperial edict had arrived?

As the purplish-gold patterns drew closer, so did the flames.

Jiang Mian squinted slightly and, sure enough, spotted the imperial edict in the crowd.

So, is the lion-orc so eager to take her away because the imperial edict has arrived?

Jiang Mian felt she had figured out the truth.

"Mianmian." Zhao Ci quickly walked towards Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian's lips curled up slightly. She wanted to walk towards Zhao Ci, but her ankle was suddenly grabbed tightly by a hand.

She was forced to stop and looked down.

The lion-orc's baseball cap had long since fallen to the side, his short, golden hair hanging casually and messily on his forehead, his golden pupils unfocused, and one hand tightly gripping Jiang Mian's ankle.

Jiang Mian remained expressionless, and stepped down with her other foot. As he instinctively released his grip in pain, she quickly strode away.

She had only taken a few steps when Zhaoci walked up to her and hugged her tightly.

"Mianmian." Zhao Ci hugged Jiang Mian tightly. "How have you been these past few days?"

Jiang Mian had instinctively hugged the imperial edict, but upon hearing this, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't showered for two days.

"It's alright," Jiang Mian said casually. "I'm fine."

She then added with a laugh, "But I smell really bad right now, I haven't showered for two days."

"It doesn't smell." Zhao Ci reached out and gently touched her hair.

Jiang Mian hummed in disbelief; she didn't believe it at all.

"Sorry I'm late." Zhao Ci grabbed her arms with both hands, pulled away slightly, and then looked down at her, as if checking for any injuries.

Sure enough, I saw some bruises and her skirt was torn.

Zhao Ci's brows furrowed instantly: "What happened?"

Jiang Mian briefly told him about what had happened in the past few days, and then, remembering something, she looked at Zhao Ci and asked, "By the way, how did you find me?"

Zhao Ci paused for a moment, then said softly, "This mine is mine."

The next instant, Jiang Mian's eyes widened slightly. If this mine belonged to him, then it meant that the Black Butterfly subordinates were also his subordinates.
"You, yours?" Jiang Mian repeated herself, seemingly to express even greater shock.

No wonder Zhao Ci could appear in front of her so openly; it turns out that this mine belongs to him, and he can come and go as he pleases without caring about anything.

"Yes, it's mine." Zhao Ci felt a little guilty for some reason. It was understandable that he felt guilty, because now that Jiang Mian had heard this news, all the anger she had suffered at the mine was subconsciously directed at him, the mine owner.

"Fine, it's yours after all. Do you know how much I've suffered here?" Jiang Mian gritted her teeth.

Zhao Ci stood before Jiang Mian, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, like a timid young wife who dared not speak, only softly saying, "You clearly said just now that everything was alright..."

Although he muttered very softly, Jiang Mian still heard him.

Jiang Mian choked, but the past is the past, and the present is the present; they are not two different things.

She deliberately pretended not to hear the emperor's quiet muttering.

"That subordinate of yours, that Black Butterfly subordinate, is the one who manages this mine. Call him out and see if he still wants to woo me. I'm going to ask him now." Jiang Mian's aura instantly rose after hearing that the mine was under imperial decree.

When Zhao Ci heard Jiang Mian mention that subordinate, a cold glint flashed in his purple-gold eyes. If it weren't for that guy's repeated obstruction and deception, he would have found his Mianmian long ago.

“His legs were broken, and he was thrown into the forest to fend for himself,” Zhao Ci said calmly, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

Jiang Mian paused upon hearing the news, then said nothing more.

"Who's on the ground?" Zhao Ci asked, looking at her and then at the dark figure over there.

"The person harassing me," Jiang Mian paused, "throw him out."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ci nodded: "Alright."

Break one of its legs when you throw it.

He thought to himself silently.

However, he naturally wouldn't reveal his true thoughts.

"Let's go, let's leave here and go back to wash up." Zhao Ci gently took her hand and walked towards the hovercar outside.

His subordinates looked at each other, silent as chickens, not daring to utter a word.

There's nothing special about it; it's just that their imperial edict seems like a completely different person.

She looks so much like a submissive wife, is she really their Lord Zhaoci? Has she really not been possessed?

On the other side, Zhao Ge glanced curiously at Jiang Mian and then at his brother, but dared not make a sound to disturb them.

Jiang Mian followed Zhao Ci a few steps before speaking up: "By the way, do you only use manual labor for mining? Can't you afford to use machines?"

Zhao Ci's eyes flickered, then he pulled out Zhao Ge, who was curious but silent, and smiled charmingly at Jiang Mian: "I can't manage so many mines by myself, so this branch mine is actually managed by my younger brother. You can ask him."

This tactic of shifting the blame eastward was very well executed, but what he said was also true; this branch mine was originally given to Zhaoge to manage.

Zhao Ge was pushed out by his brother, and he was a little dazed. When he saw Jiang Mian looking over, he paused and then noticed his brother's threatening gaze.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree: "Yes, I'm in charge."

Although he was indeed in charge, he was ultimately under imperial decree.

"He's your brother? You actually have a brother?" Jiang Mian was very surprised. "Is he your biological brother?"

“Yes, my younger brother.” Zhao Ci nodded.

"Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Zhaoge." Zhaoge smiled. "My brother and I are definitely biological brothers, but the reason our wings are different is because we are half-brothers."
