Chapter 4 Burial
When Jiang Mian was eight years old, her parents carried her and ran away, but they ended up in a dead end.
Her parents were killed by orcs before her very eyes. The little girl trembled with fear as she watched the orcs approach her with knives.
Just when he thought he was about to die at the hands of the orcs, the snake beast lord, in a frenzy, stumbled and fell in.
Half of his face was covered with dense black snake scales that spread to his neck. His vertical red snake eyes were tinged with blood. He raised his hand and snapped the orc's neck.
He stood there, gazing at the tiny girl for a long time.
Finally, the powerful arm covered in black snake scales lifted the terrified little girl and carried her away.
……
A slight pain on her forehead brought Jiang Mian back to her senses.
Jiang Mian's gaze fell on the shards of glass on the ground, mixed with bright red blood.
Compared to the injury on her forehead, Rin Yu's entire palm was riddled with shards of glass, bleeding profusely, and looked extremely painful.
But the person in front of him seemed oblivious, leaning dejectedly against the corner of the wall, his slightly curly black hair covering half of his face.
Jiang Mian stood up silently, then grabbed a broom and swept up all the broken glass and fallen snake scales.
He didn't say a word the whole time.
After cleaning up, Jiang Mian glanced at the man in the corner, then turned and left.
After Lin Yu noticed Jiang Mian leaving, he slowly opened his narrow eyes halfway, revealing only a look of weariness in his red eyes, as if he were utterly disgusted with the world.
A series of hurried footsteps approached from afar.
The girl who had just left returned, carrying a medicine box and pulling someone along as she walked quickly over.
Jiang Mian dragged one of the original owner's beast slaves over.
Rong Fei got along relatively well with the original owner, which was naturally compared to other beast slaves.
At this moment, Rong Fei was wearing a silver-white nightgown, with his long silver hair casually falling to his waist. His long arms and legs made the silver-white nightgown seem a little short, revealing a section of his wrist with faint blue veins and a section of his extremely white ankle.
Jiang Mian was still holding his wrist.
Rong Fei saw it, his face remained calm, but he subtly withdrew his hand from Jiang Mian's grasp, and Jiang Mian did not notice.
"Master, it's so late, is there something you need to ask Rong Fei to come here?" Rong Fei's voice was also gentle.
Jiang Mian grabbed Rong Fei's hand again, placed the strap of the medicine box in his palm, looked up at Rong Fei, and pointed to Lin Yu in the corner: "Heal him, or you will die with him."
Rong Fei felt a flash of disgust when Jiang Mian touched his hand, but he didn't show it. His gaze followed Jiang Mian's finger to the disheveled black snake in the corner, but his expression remained indifferent.
He spoke slowly and calmly: "I can't cure manic episodes."
Jiang Mian paused for a moment and then explained, "I didn't ask you to treat his manic phase. I asked you to help him treat his wounds."
As she spoke, she realized that she was probably getting in their way, so she added as she walked out, "Take good care of him. I'll come to check on him tomorrow. If you don't cure him, you can die with him."
The following sentence sounded like a threat to ensure that Rong Fei would help Lin Yu with her treatment.
Rong Fei didn't say anything after hearing this.
Jiang Mian left after saying that.
Rong Fei couldn't understand Jiang Mian's actions either. The snake beastman was the least conspicuous and the most taciturn of the five beast slaves, and Jiang Mian disliked the snake beastman the most. Yet, she had already abandoned the beastman here, seemingly intending to let the snake beastman fend for himself.
I don't know what got into him today, dragging him over in the middle of the night to treat the snake beastman, looking like he cared a lot.
Rong Fei was too lazy to guess what the woman was thinking; he just wanted to treat the orc's wounds and go back to sleep.
He had thought it would take some effort to get the snake-beastman to cooperate, but to his surprise, the snake-beastman remained unmoved and let him deal with the glass shards in his palm.
Lin Yu's cold, red eyes were half-closed. He recalled the woman whose forehead was still bleeding, which she had ignored, leaving it untreated. He simply brought over a lizard-beastman with medical skills and left. Jiang Mian returned to her room, feeling utterly exhausted from the night's journey.
She quickly treated her forehead in front of the mirror, put on a pink band-aid, and then went to bed.
The next day.
"Tuk tuk tuk..."
There was a gentle knock on the door.
A calm, neither intimate nor enthusiastic voice came from outside the door: "Master, breakfast is ready."
Then the footsteps faded away.
Jiang Mian woke up as if in a daze, brushed her teeth, washed her face, got dressed, and went out.
From the memories in her mind, she knew that the original owner had Rong Fei cook three meals for her every day.
Rong Fei, because of his good temper, medical skills, and cooking abilities, became the beast slave who was beaten the least.
On the dining table.
Noodles, fried dough sticks, oatmeal, eggs, bread, etc.
Jiang Mian looked at the lavish breakfast but wasn't particularly moved, since she had eaten much more lavishly when she was kept in captivity.
Rong Fei was standing by the dining table when he saw Jiang Mian coming over. He slowly spoke, his voice always gentle and calm: "Good morning, Master."
When he said the word "master," he didn't treat anyone as inferior; it was as if he were simply addressing someone by their name.
Simply put, Jiang Mian couldn't detect any respect in his tone.
"Ah, good morning." Jiang Mian paused before replying, still feeling a bit awkward about being addressed as "master."
Jiang Mian sat down at the dining table and ate a few bites of breakfast. Hmm, it tasted pretty good. It seems there was a reason why Rong Feishao got beaten up.
There were only Jiang Mian and Rong Fei standing around the round dining table.
Because of an unwritten rule among humans who keep beastmen, beast slaves are not allowed to eat at the table; they can only eat after their masters have finished eating.
Jiang Mian took a few bites, glanced at the orc next to her, and quietly said, "Let's sit down and eat together."
Otherwise it will get cold.
However, she naturally didn't say the last sentence.
She only asked one question, and if Rong Fei still didn't sit down to eat, she wouldn't force him.
"No, Master, please eat first." Rong Fei simply said this.
Jiang Mian seemed to have expected this, and didn't say anything more.
She finished her breakfast quietly and then left.
Rong Fei stood still, his gaze fixed on Jiang Mian's retreating figure.
Surprisingly, Jiang Mian didn't cause any trouble today and quietly finished her breakfast.
In the past, her hands were practically useless, and he had to feed her everything.
It's probably better not to cause trouble today, otherwise he might have made the other party lose their appetite for a few days.
Jiang Mian went to that storage room again.
She already said yesterday that she wouldn't put him in solitary confinement, I wonder if Lin Yu listened to her?
Is he still in the storeroom, or has he returned to his room inside the starship?
