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

Chapter 319 Auction
Jiang Mian finished speaking.

Rong Fei looked at her for a while, then slowly said, "Because I want to hear your opinion of me."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian remained silent for a moment before letting out a soft sigh: "If I hadn't realized what you were thinking and hadn't said that last sentence, we probably would have argued."

"No," Rong Fei replied crisply.

As he spoke, he took Jiang Mian's hand and slowly walked out. The hovercar was already parked outside the villa; he planned to take her to the underground auction.

When Jiang Mian heard him say "no" with certainty, she paused for a moment before saying, "How can you be so sure we won't argue? Just because we don't argue now doesn't mean we won't argue in the future."

Who can guarantee they won't argue in the future?

Even Jiang Mian himself couldn't guarantee it.

“I don’t like arguing.” Rong Fei glanced at her sideways. “Arguing is often driven by emotions, and there’s no rationality involved.”

Rong Fei let her sit in the passenger seat of the hovercar, while he went to sit in the driver's seat.

After Jiang Mian waited for him to sit down, she looked at him again and said, "Just because you don't like arguing doesn't mean you won't argue. If I hadn't comforted you just now, would you have started arguing with me?"

Before Rong Fei could speak, Jiang Mian, thinking about how couples argue, continued, "Then you feel that I am questioning you, and then you are very sad, so you question me about why I miss you so much, and then we argue about whether we care or love each other."

As Jiang Mian spoke, perhaps because she had been watching a lot of romance dramas lately, she began to passionately act out the scene, "Yes, I just think you're that kind of person. With such lucrative opportunities in this gray area, it's impossible for you not to be tempted."

She then portrayed Rong Fei again: "Heh, so that's how you see me?"

She then began to portray herself again: "Isn't that right?"

How could you think of me like that?

"This is just my normal speculation."

"So it's just a matter of not loving enough, which leads to not trusting enough."

"I'm just discussing this matter, why did you have to bring up love?"

"But all I care about is whether you love me or not!"

"That's all I wanted to say right now!"

"If you doubt me, it means you don't love me!"

"This is this matter, it has nothing to do with whether I love you or not! Can you stop being so unreasonable!"

"I'm being unreasonable? You won't even try to coax me?"

"I've already said I'm just stating the facts!"

……

Rong Fei set the autopilot to work and watched Jiang Mian act out the conversation between the two.

Rong Fei: ...

He watched quietly as Jiang Mian directed and acted out his own drama, observing the ups and downs of Jiang Mian's expression, and a slight upturn of the corners of his lips.

Jiang Mian also noticed Rong Fei's long-lasting gaze, and then felt that she was acting like she had a split personality, so she simply stopped.

"How did you think of my performance just now?" Jiang Mian asked Rong Fei.

She didn't know if Rong Fei had watched her performance.

If she doesn't watch it, wouldn't she just be entertaining herself?

“I did care just now whether you love me or not, whether you care about me or not,” Rong Fei said with a slight smile. “You portrayed my core message very well.”

When Jiang Mian heard Rong Fei hear her praise his acting, she coughed lightly and said, "Ahem, is that so?"

Actually, she felt that her portrayal of Rong Fei was a bit exaggerated, with some overstatements.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration," Rong Fei raised an eyebrow slightly. "Do you really think I'm that badly temper-prone?"

"No, no, I was just exaggerating." Jiang Mian smiled and shook her head.

"If what you're saying is true, and you hadn't said that last sentence, hadn't tried to comfort me, what do you think I would have done?" Rong Fei gently reached out and took her hand, his tender and tolerant gaze falling on her. Jiang Mian thought for a moment: "You would have been angry, but you would have held it in, looked terrible, and been in a bad mood, but you would have helped me rescue my friend first, and then come back to settle the score with me later."

Rong Fei chuckled softly upon hearing her words: "Baby, I'll tell you what I'll do."

His gaze fell on her face: "I'll tell you I didn't participate in that clandestine auction, and then you can coax me."

Jiang Mian shrugged: "Alright, let's not dwell on that. Let's talk about the underground auction."

This clandestine auction is being held in the capital, which is Rong Fei's territory, so he must be familiar with this place.

Rong Fei nodded casually: "This underground auction existed before I occupied the Imperial Capital Star. Both humans and beastmen participated in the auctions, and you humans organized them yourselves."

When he said his last sentence, Youyou glanced at Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian wasn't too surprised to hear this.

After all, humans can be good or bad, and so can orcs, so they are all the same.

“This clandestine auction involves quite a few forces.” Rong Fei gently squeezed Jiang Mian’s fingers with his fingertips. “The interests involved are quite extensive, so it’s not easy to just cut them off.”

He continued, "So I acted like them, making them think that I was one of them and wanted a piece of the pie. I was just waiting for them to let me join, and then once I figured them out, they would all be my spoils."

Jiang Mian understood and said, "It's alright, your plan isn't urgent. Let's just follow the normal procedure to rescue my friend this time."

"Mmm," Rong Fei responded softly.

The time has come for the dark auction to begin.

Jiang Mian and Rong Fei also entered the venue.

Everyone wore a mask.

Jiang Mian found it ironic that they were holding an auction here and still had any shame? So many people were wearing masks to cover their faces.

It could also be the rules of this clandestine auction.

Jiang Mian didn't want to know anything about it.

However, Jiang Mian glanced at Rong Fei's silver hair and pristine white suit. Even with a black mask on, he would be easily recognizable.

"Wearing this mask is practically the same as not wearing it at all," Jiang Mian couldn't help but complain to Rong Fei.

Rong Fei glanced at her and smiled, "But as long as I wear a mask, no one else can see my face. Even if my photo is posted on the StarNet, I can still play the rogue and say that person isn't me."

So if he doesn't admit it, what can anyone do to him?

Jiang Mian:!
Jiang Mian didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only say that the other party was really too shameless.

Before long, Jiang Mian and Rong Fei sat on the edge, where they didn't stand out.

After all, Rong Fei isn't the only one with silver hair; some people even have blonde hair.

More and more people entered the auction hall.

The entire auction hall is designed as a circular arena, with tiered seating and a central auction platform where items are raised directly from below.

The auction officially began.

The host briefly explained the auction rules and then began to introduce the first item to be auctioned.

"The paralyzed mermaid boy".

The second item up for auction.

"A blind cat-eared girl."

The third item up for auction.

"A human girl with D-rank healing power."
