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

Chapter 305 Bow and Arrow
“How about we set off tomorrow?” Zhao Ci smiled. “I’ll take you to dig for star stones in the universe.”

“Well, this is also ore mining.” Jiang Mian sighed.

“No, this is playing with minerals.” Zhao Ci kissed her. “After we’re done playing with minerals, I’ll take you to gamble on stones.”

Jiang Mian became interested upon hearing this.

"Gambling on stones? Sure, sure!" Jiang Mian immediately agreed.

But then she remembered something else.

"Let's wait one more day," Jiang Mian said after considering the words of the imperial edict.

"Why?" Zhao Ci was somewhat surprised, after all, she saw that Jiang Mian seemed very eager to gamble on stones.

“I promised Zhaoge I’d practice archery with him,” Jiang Mian smiled. “Your starship’s entertainment area must have an archery range, right?”

Imperial Edict: !
"That guy can practice archery by himself; you don't need to accompany him," Zhao Ci said with a gentle smile.

He wore a smile on his face, but in his heart he cursed Zhao Ge a thousand times.

Jiang Mian chuckled to herself, but said, "Why don't you come practice archery with me tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ci paused slightly, realizing that Jiang Mian might have noticed his thoughts, then chuckled and replied, "Okay."

How could you possibly detect such a tiny bit of jealousy?

He also thought that Zhao Ge would be able to have him and Jiang Mian practice archery together tomorrow, which was truly a blessing for him.

The next day.

After receiving Jiang Mian's invitation, Zhao Ge went to the archery range with great excitement.

Then he saw his brother at the archery range.

Zhao Ge asked instinctively, "Brother, what are you doing here?"

"Why can't I be here?" Zhao Ci glanced at Zhao Ge casually. He had already changed into his archery uniform and tied wrist guards to his palms.

Zhao Ge then asked, "Where is my sister-in-law?"

A moment later, Jiang Mian came out of the changing room and smiled, "I'm here."

Both of them turned to look at her.

Zhao Ge realized that his brother probably didn't feel comfortable with his sister-in-law being with him.

Imperial Edict Song: ...

"Why aren't you getting ready? What are you standing there for?" Zhao Ci glanced at Zhao Ge casually.

Zhao Ge hurriedly went to prepare.

Zhao Ci pulled Jiang Mian over and tied wristbands around her wrists.

While the imperial edict was not yet ready, Zhao Ci and Jiang Mian were already prepared.

Jiang Mian quickly picked up the bow and arrow, then waved it in front of the imperial edict, "Shall we have a contest?"

Zhao Ci looked at Jiang Mian and thought she was extremely beautiful. His gaze was somewhat intense and absent-minded as he stared at her. After a while, he nodded and said, "Okay."

Zhao Ci had also tried this kind of recreational activity, but he certainly wasn't as good at it as Jiang Mian.

So the two of them took their positions.

Jiang Mian lowered his body slightly, and his body opened up as if he were drawing back the bow and arrow.

The arrow shot out from the bowstring with a sudden burst of speed, and the instant it pierced the air, it also stirred her dark hair, which fell casually across her face, like a gust of wind.

Beautiful and neat.

Hit the bullseye, that's impressive.

As if struck by the sound of the imperial edict, a surge of excitement coursed through Zhao Ci's heart, and his heartbeat quickened.

"Come on, you do one." Jiang Mian put down his bow and arrow and looked at the imperial edict.

Zhao Ci's palms were itchy and burning hot, but he gently replied, "Okay."

He also drew his bow and arrow, and the arrow shot out, striking the bullseye with a swift motion.

Jiang Mian raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at the arrow that had hit the bullseye, then looked at him, and then smiled: "So you're quite good at it too."

“I’ve played a few,” Zhao Ci smiled, “but I’m definitely not as good as Mianmian.”

"Oh, in that case, let's have a competition." Jiang Mian smiled. "Let's use a moving target and see who hits more."

Zhao Ci felt as if the buzzing of the arrow still lingered in his fingers, making them slightly numb.

"Okay." Zhao Ci smiled and agreed softly.

Soon, the two men's arrows kept leaving the bowstrings, and the quiver became increasingly empty. The scoreboard above was also constantly changing.

The countdown time is also decreasing.

The two players were neck and neck in scoring.

When Zhao Ge came out, this was the scene he saw. He didn't say anything and just watched quietly.

His brother is quite capable.

The two players were still tied, and the final countdown was about to stop, meaning the scoring would cease.

The two men fired their last arrows at the same time.

When Zhao Ci saw the trajectory of that arrow, his heart skipped a beat. He had thought the final result would be a draw, but seeing this scene, he felt that he had lost. However, the arrow had already left the bowstring and could not be taken back.

Jiang Mian's arrow pierced through his arrow and embedded itself in the target.

There was a buzzing sound from the nails.

The scoring screen stops after one number scrolls.

20: 21.

Jiang Mian won.

Zhao Ci paused, his hand gripping the bow handle, which was slightly warm. He looked at Jiang Mian, who also looked at him, smiling slyly: "Sorry, Zhao Ci, I won."

"Yes, you won," Zhao Ci conceded. "Very impressive."

"Sister-in-law, that's amazing!" Zhao Ge immediately moved closer to Jiang Mian. "You have no idea how cool you look when you shoot arrows, it's so incredibly cool!"

Upon hearing Zhao Ge's praise, Jiang Mian coughed lightly and said, "It's nothing."

"Sister-in-law, can you teach me?" Zhao Ge asked with a smile.

The next second he was pulled away, and Zhao Ci said with a forced smile, "Go practice archery, we can all teach you."

Imperial Edict Song: ...

Jiang Mian simply smiled, her eyes crinkling, but said nothing.

Finally, Zhaoge was left to shoot arrows all by himself.

Zhao Ci and Jiang Mian were whispering sweet nothings to each other.

"Mianmian, come wipe your sweat." Zhao Ci helped Jiang Mian wipe her sweat.

"Come on, Mianmian, have some water." Zhao Ci brought water over again.

……

Imperial Edict Song: ...

He's just here to eat dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).

And so the entertainment event came to an end.

on the way back.

"Mianmian, your hands must be tired from shooting arrows for so long. Let me massage them for you." Zhao Ci pinched and massaged Jiang Mian's fingers repeatedly, then lowered his head and kissed them.

Jiang Mian coughed lightly and withdrew her hand from his palm, embarrassed: "My hand is still sweaty, and you still kissed me."

"I want to kiss you." Zhao Ci smiled, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

Jiang Mian:......

Don’t understand but respect.

Then Zhao Ci grabbed Jiang Mian's hand again, weaving his fingers between hers, their ten fingers intertwined, holding each other tightly.

The sweat seemed to stick to the other person's palm as well, feeling hot and sticky.

Back in the room, Jiang Mian was pinned against the wall again, and hot kisses rained down on her once more.

"I wanted to kiss you just now." Zhao Ci held her five fingers, lowered his head and kissed her lips, his voice extremely passionate, "How can you be so amazing, Mianmian?"

Jiang Mian's eyes flickered slightly: "I'm definitely good at archery."

"Then I want to win once too, okay?" Zhao Ci bit her lip.

"Giving it to you would be so boring," Jiang Mian coughed lightly.

“I meant other arrows…” Zhao Ci pressed down on her waist.
