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

Chapter 318 Jealousy
"Wasn't there only one fish that took the bait?" Jiang Mian blinked innocently. "Besides, it can't be considered a fish, it can only be considered a mermaid."

“So there are three mermaids.” Rong Fei’s fingers gently stroked her face, tracing from the corner of her eye to her earlobe with the red mole, and he gently pinched it. “Which one is your favorite?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian immediately realized that Rong Fei was jealous, though she found his jealousy rather inexplicable.

Putting aside the fact that Zhou Qing and Zhou Bai were just friends with her, the mermaid she caught from the seabed wasn't interested in her; she wanted to harm her.

Therefore, none of these three mermaids could possibly like her.

Moreover, Jiang Mian had no interest in these three mermaids.

However, when Jiang Mian looked at Rong Fei's silver eyes, where the smile didn't reach his eyes, she felt a chill run down her spine.

“Those mermaids aren’t pretty.” Jiang Mian grabbed a strand of silver hair that fell in front of him and smiled. “The prettiest one is right in front of me. I like you the most, you lizard.”

It naturally carries a sweet, comforting scent.

“Oh, but baby was just bewitched by the mermaid.” Rong Fei whispered in her ear, “Only those who think the other person is beautiful and are wavering will be bewitched by them.”

Jiang Mian:......

Is there such a thing as mermaid seduction?
That mermaid was indeed quite beautiful, but that doesn't mean she liked him.

She simply thought he was good-looking.

Jiang Mian then explained, "That mermaid is indeed quite handsome! But that doesn't mean I like him."

She felt that when she said the first sentence, the breath in her ear seemed to hold for a moment, as if it had been frozen by the cold air. But when she said the next sentence, her breathing seemed to return to normal.

Jiang Mian:......

In her opinion, this guy's mood is even more unpredictable!

On the surface, they're all agreeable; behind your back, they'll curse you out for everything.

They seem tolerant, but they are not tolerant at all.

Jiang Mian thinks so, well, actually, she's consistent in other aspects.

“I know the baby definitely won’t like them,” Rong Fei smiled.

Jiang Mian quickly nodded, inwardly agreeing, "Yes, yes."

Rong Fei was understanding and didn't get overly jealous.

After all, a little jealousy is pleasant, but too much jealousy is harmful.

Jiang Mian and Rong Fei returned to the villa entrance, where she also received a message from Lin Yu.

A few days ago, she asked Lin Yu to check on Lin Xuan's situation.

Rinyu has now explained the situation to her.

Lin Yu: Tonight at the underground auction in the capital, she will be pushed up for auction.

Lin Yu also told Jiang Mian about the location of the dark area and the situation of the auction.

What kind of things can you auction at a clandestine auction? They're all things that can't be brought to light.

Jiang Mian's heart skipped a beat. She first thanked Lin Yu for helping her find the information, then turned to Rong Fei: "Rong Fei, do you know anything about the underground auction in the capital?"

"I know." Rong Fei lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on her. "It happens to be once every three months, and there is one tonight."

Jiang Mian's eyelashes trembled: "Did you participate in this clandestine auction?"

Auctioning off humans and animal slaves is utterly inhumane. Rong Fei looked at her for a moment before slowly speaking, "And what do you think?"

He neither confirmed nor denied it, but instead asked Jiang Mian.

What kind of person does she think he is?
Jiang Mian lowered her eyelashes. She couldn't deny that she felt that Rong Fei, an ambitious beastman, couldn't possibly not be tempted by such an insanely profitable auction. Moreover, he was indeed going to become a corrupted beast lord in the future and a regular visitor to these dark areas.

She felt that he was involved.

These are all just her guesses; the Rong Fei of today is different from the Rong Fei of the future.

Actually, she didn't know if they were the same, since she wouldn't have much contact with him in the future, and had only learned about this Beast Lord on the Star Network.

Even a slight obsession with cleanliness can kill someone.

Yes, he has extremely severe OCD, to the point that he can't tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes.

He's a psychopath who'd kill anyone who even dirtied the smallest part of his clothes.

However, the Rong Fei that Jiang Mian knows now is different from the Rong Fei of the future.

"I want to hear what you have to say." Jiang Mian looked up at him, her dark eyes calm and gentle.

"Then I'd like to know, in your eyes, what kind of person am I?" Rong Fei looked at her gently.

Jiang Mian was silent for a moment, then said, "How about we go to that underground auction first, and come back to discuss this matter after we've resolved it?"

She continued, "The dark auction starts at 1 a.m. Can you come in with me? My friend has been arrested and is being auctioned off. He's my neighbor from the exile planet, do you remember him?"

She can just take a picture of Lin Xuan then.

If she went directly to rescue her, without knowing the situation, she didn't know if she could succeed. But she had money. The beastmen's money plus her own money would be double the money, so she would definitely be able to get Lin Xuan to be rescued.

Rong Fei calmly replied, "When you asked, I had already reserved two spots, and we can leave at any time."

Jiang Mian glanced at the time; it was only a little past nine, and there were still several hours until one o'clock.

"You can reserve a spot right away, so does that mean you can just ask for any auction item?" Jiang Mian was no longer in a hurry when she saw the time.

However, after hearing Rong Fei say that, she became even more suspicious that he might have been involved as well, otherwise how could he be so familiar with these things?
“Baby, are you doubting me?” Rong Fei gently pinched her chin, his eyelashes half-lowered, his silver eyes seeming to surge with unfathomable emotions. “Your eyes are beautiful, but they can also speak volumes. Right now, they’re doubting me.”

Jiang Mian:......

"It's not suspicion, it's just normal speculation." Jiang Mian wasn't flustered even though her thoughts were exposed. Rong Fei could always easily see through her thoughts; he had a strong ability to read people. So Jiang Mian got used to it after a while and spoke confidently, "So tell me, were you involved?"

Rong Fei knew he was in a bad mood.

All he cared about was her opinion of him.

Jiang Mian noticed his silence. He rarely got angry, but when he was angry, he was always very silent, like a cold machine emitting a terrifying aura.

“That’s the normal assumption, but I personally feel that you weren’t involved,” Jiang Mian added quietly.

Rong Fei's silver eyes flickered, and the oppressive atmosphere around them seemed to dissipate instantly. He patted her head and said softly, "Next time you coax me, you should do it earlier."

Jiang Mian sighed inwardly. He really was hard to coax; she had to figure out his thoughts.

Rong Fei is the kind of person who keeps his thoughts very hidden.

Fortunately, Jiang Mian figured it out.

"Actually, if you had just said you weren't involved earlier, nothing would have happened." Jiang Mian knew from these words that Rong Fei hadn't been involved.
