Chapter 300 Collection
Jiang Mian was quite shocked to hear this long passage.
Before Jiang Mian could say anything, the female beastman continued, "You're a useless female who needs Lord Zhaoci's protection. Staying by Lord Zhaoci's side is just a burden to him. Only my sister can stand shoulder to shoulder with him. If you know what's good for you, you should take the initiative to break up with Lord Zhaoci."
"What's it to you?" Jiang Mian said with a forced smile. "Whether we break up or not is none of your business."
The female orc paused, then coldly said, "You've been staying by Lord Zhaoci's side, but you haven't been able to help at all. How can you have the nerve to stay?"
In the eyes of the female beastmen, Jiang Mian, this fox beastman, was not worthy of their Lord Zhaoci at all; only someone as powerful as her elder sister was worthy of Lord Zhaoci.
"Oh." Jiang Mian didn't want to say anything more to this female beastman. "What's it to you?"
She will personally inquire about the matter between them when the time comes.
If the imperial edict isn't handled properly, she'll just divorce him.
She wouldn't listen to these people and question or doubt the imperial edict.
The female orc said nothing more and left.
Jiang Mian waited on the starship for Zhao Ci and the others to return.
Half a day passed, and they still hadn't returned. After all, this was an undeveloped planet, a planet where no one lived.
With so much severe weather and harsh environment, it will take time to install the protective shields at their landing points.
A loud crash came from Jiang Mian's room.
A female orc rushed in and came to Jiang Mian's side: "Are you an orc doctor? Lord Zhao Ci is injured and asked me to take you there."
"He's injured? How is he?" Jiang Mian's expression became tense as soon as she heard that Zhao Ci was injured, and she quickly got up.
"It was contaminated by a cut from an unknown plant. We'll have to go and see for ourselves to know the specifics." The female orc took out a set of clothes that Zhao Ci had worn before. "Put these on quickly, we'll lead the team out."
Jiang Mian wondered if this was an undeveloped planet, and there must be many undeveloped plants. He wondered what their toxicity was like, and whether there was any fatal danger if he was injured by these plants.
She was only worried about Zhaoci's injuries and didn't think too much about it or even bother to check with Zhaoci on the personal terminal to confirm the situation.
Soon after, she dressed herself, gathered her medical supplies, and joined another squad to go to another starship squad.
"Is everyone assembled?" a female orc asked coldly.
"All assembled," the female orc who had just called Jiang Mian replied.
"Let's go!" the female orc commanded.
The small starship then flew towards that planet, breaking through the clouds and heading straight for the land.
Jiang Mian stood in the squad and when she saw that the squad leader was the female orc from that morning, her initial anxiety turned into wariness.
Was Zhao Ci really injured? Or did these people deliberately lure her out?
She should have checked with the AI to confirm the situation, but the female beastman kept urging her, making Jiang Mian think that Zhao Ci was seriously injured and in critical condition, so she didn't have time to think about anything else.
Now that I've calmed down, something doesn't seem quite right.
Jiang Mian was somewhat annoyed and quickly sent a message to Zhao Ci on his personal terminal to inquire about the other party's situation.
But after waiting for a while, the other party did not reply.
Jiang Mian was suddenly uncertain. Was Zhao Ci really in danger?
Jiang Mian's heart pounded again when she received no reply.
Regardless, Jiang Mian still wanted to confirm the situation regarding the imperial edict.
"Is Zhao Ci really injured?" Jiang Mian walked up to the female orc with her hair tied in a high ponytail in a few steps. "Should we go straight to him?"
If the other party really wanted to kill her and prevent her from being with Zhao Ci, they could have just given her a starship that would automatically navigate to an undeveloped planet. There was no need to put any protective suit on her, and there was no need to actually go out with her. The tall-haired orc leader, named Dieyu, was the one who had made her break up with Zhao Ci that morning. Hearing this, she glanced at her and said, "Our mission this time is to install a backup defense point just in case, and at the same time, to meet up with Lord Zhao Ci. You will then treat Lord Zhao Ci."
Jiang Mian didn't think she was lying, but she still had doubts: "Can you contact Zhao Ci?"
"We can't get in touch with him right now, but Lord Zhaoci is indeed injured. Injuries are quite common," Dieyu said calmly. "It's also common for us to lose contact with him unexpectedly. Don't act like he's about to die. Lord Zhaoci isn't that easy to kill."
Jiang Mian was silent for a moment before speaking: "So, is it the imperial edict's will that I go for treatment, or is it your will?"
"What I mean is," Dieyu said calmly, "I had my subordinates call you over. What's wrong? You don't want to come with us?"
“…No.” Jiang Mian paused for a moment.
Was this person really just doing a mission and then taking her to treat someone?
Regardless of the circumstances, Jiang Mian remained somewhat wary.
She was afraid that the other party might intentionally kill her during the process.
She sensed that the other person had ill intentions, but she didn't say anything more.
Jiang Mian also went to a place and sat down.
Dieyu glanced at her, then turned around and let out a cold laugh.
She was indeed going to install a backup point, Lord Zhaoci was indeed injured by the unknown plant, and Zhaoci's team was indeed out of contact.
However, these kinds of things are very common, and they have encountered them many times, so they are very skilled at handling them and don't need Jiang Mian to come over.
However, Dieyu wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of Jiang Mian.
It's a win-win situation: I can get rid of Jiang Mian without interfering with my own mission.
When Lord Zhaoci interrogates him, he will say that as soon as Jiang Mian heard that he was injured, he insisted on coming over and no one could persuade him. Then, he disobeyed orders in the team and went off on his own. He encountered the alien insects, the team suffered heavy casualties, and Jiang Mian also died by accident.
To make a story seem very real, it needs to be a mix of truth and fiction.
Therefore, Dieyu will also be injured, and will suffer a very serious injury.
Her sister and Lord Zhaoci are the most compatible and should be together.
Jiang Mian, this useless female, is just a burden to Lord Zhao Ci.
Jiang Mian, of course, had no idea that this woman was willing to risk half her own life to get rid of her.
The starship passed through the planet's clouds and landed in a dense forest.
The group went down, and Jiang Mian followed them down.
The surrounding gray dust particles were visible to the naked eye, and all the leaves in the dense forest were black.
It felt a bit like the darkest of times.
Everyone was wearing a silver mask.
Jiang Mian was also wearing a silver mask, a standard oxygen mask.
"Let's head east." Dieyu glanced at the quantum computer and immediately led the group eastward.
The mission comes first; killing Jiang Mian is the last priority.
Dieyu was, after all, one of Zhaoci's capable subordinates, and she knew how to handle important matters. She wouldn't delay the mission just to kill Jiang Mian.
