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

Chapter 298 Who is it?
"Do you know who I sculpted?" Jiang Mian asked with a smile.

Imperial edict: ...

Of course I know; I don't need to guess to know who she's carving.

"I will." Zhao Ci calmly replied.

Despite what he said, this ugly blue mineral stick figure really didn't resemble him at all.

Apart from those two things at the back that look like butterfly wings, there really isn't anything else that's distinctive.

“Yes.” Jiang Mian’s smile deepened.

"Hmm, if you carve my likeness, then that's what you're going to give me." Zhao Ci then reached out and grabbed the blue mineral stick figure.

Jiang Mian then handed the carved stick figure to his palm, but his expression seemed somewhat surprised, mixed with a hint of guilt and embarrassment: "This is a bit ugly. I'll try harder to carve a better one for you."

"No need, this is the first one you made yourself, it has a different meaning, I'm very satisfied so I'll accept it." As he spoke, Zhao Ci put the extremely ugly mineral stick figure that Jiang Mian had just carved into his pocket.

He liked anything she carved, even if it was ugly.

Being unable to bear looking at it is one thing, wanting to collect it is another.

Jiang Mian:!
"If you like it, that's fine." Jiang Mian didn't try to persuade her any further.

She felt that even if she carved a few more, they would still turn out to be the same ugly things, so one of these ugly things was enough; she didn't need too many.

For some reason, Zhao Ci put down the large ore project he was working on and picked up a palm-sized piece of ore to begin carving it carefully. The carving tools seemed to be harder and sharper than the ore itself, making it extremely easy to cut and carve.

His long, slender fingers were incredibly nimble; in no time, a small human figure appeared.

"This is for you." Zhao Ci quickly handed her a beautiful little figure.

Jiang Mian took it with great interest and carefully examined the sky-blue mineral figurine in his hand.

It's incredibly lifelike, with beautifully rendered facial features that are remarkably realistic, even the way the skirt flutters is remarkably lifelike.

This is a tiny humanoid figure without fox ears.

"It looks good." Jiang Mian smiled sweetly.

She held the little figure in her palm, turning it over and over to examine it.

Seeing that she liked it, Zhao Ci also gave a slight smile.

“Come on, it’s your turn.” Zhao Ci suddenly handed the carving tools in his hand to Jiang Mian, then his gaze fell on the large piece of blue ore next to him, clearly intending for her to carve the rest.

Jiang Mian:!
She saw that the half-height boulder had been carved to lifelike detail, though it wasn't fully polished yet. It was already taking shape, depicting two people holding hands, which looked very heartwarming.

However, if she were to handle the rest, she would inevitably destroy the artwork.

"I can't do it," Jiang Mian said honestly.

Zhao Ci didn't speak, but simply took her hand and placed the carving tools in her palm. Then he came behind her, his chest pressed against her back, his palm covering the back of her hand, and he chuckled softly, "So I'll teach you step by step."

The group of people next to her, including Diexu, brought over a taller stool and lifted the ore up, making it easier for Jiang Mian to sit and carve. Zhaoci stood behind her, gently holding her hand, and carved with her.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian did not refuse.

The imperial edict covered the back of her hand, guiding her hand to carve.

The force came from the back of his hand, full of steady power.

The two enjoyed a pleasant time carving, and in the end, Zhao Ci carefully put away the carving stone for Jiang Mian.

After all, it was originally a gift for Jiang Mian. That evening.

The room was pitch black.

Jiang Mian lay on the bed, while Zhao Ci supported himself on his arms on either side of her, kneeling above her.

"Why aren't the lights on?" Jiang Mian opened her eyes but couldn't see a single ray of light.

"Because I want to show you something." Zhao Ci's voice was soft, yet slightly dark, carrying a hint of unease.

Jiang Mian's thoughts instantly began to wander in an abnormal direction.

"But I can't see anything," Jiang Mian said, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Does it glow?"

"Yes," Zhao Ci replied softly, "but the switch is in your hands."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian seemed to understand something. Could the glowing thing he mentioned be his butterfly wings?

"Your wings?" Jiang Mian asked tentatively.

"Hmm," Zhao Ci responded softly.

Upon hearing the affirmative response, Jiang Mian thought to herself that she had indeed been right.

But she had seen his butterfly wings many times already.

No, that's not the point.

"Mianmian, it will become especially beautiful." Zhao Ci gently took her hand and led her to the wings behind her.

“But I’ve already seen it before.” Jiang Mian’s fingers gently landed on his shoulder blades.

The young man's body tensed up noticeably, and his breathing became slightly erratic. He spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "It's grown a bit bigger now."

Jiang Mian paused for a moment: "Can't your butterfly wings always change size at will?"

“The limit has increased again. You can think of it as his previous limit being able to transform into that big of a movie, but now his limit has been raised, and he can make it even bigger than before,” Zhao Ci explained softly to her.

Jiang Mian once saw that when his butterfly wings were at their largest, they could cover the entire alleyway entrance. However, the alleyway entrance on that exiled star was not very wide, only about the width of three or four people.

As she thought about it, she also noticed that his shoulder blades seemed to have become quite thicker.

Gradually, Jiang Mian felt the butterfly bones in her palms growing outwards, becoming thicker and thicker, and at the same time, she also felt the two butterfly wings expanding outwards continuously.

On the purple-gold butterfly wings, the gold color grew brighter and brighter, spreading out to both sides like a golden galaxy.

His butterfly wings covered the entire room, completely filling every inch of Jiang Mian's field of vision.

People generally have some fear of large objects.

These two large butterfly wings occupied the entire room, as if two butterfly wings were covering her, making it impossible for her to escape.

Such enormous butterfly wings should be frightening, but the beautiful golden glitter, representing the joy and excitement of love, makes it all seem rather cute.

It was clearly a golden, shimmering, flowing galaxy, so why was it frightening?

Jiang Mian wasn't afraid; she smiled gently.

"It's beautiful, I saw it."

I saw your heart flutter.

　Let's skip the solid colors and go for pure love instead...*
