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

Chapter 92 Return to the city
Zhao Ci was unaware that he was deliberately trying to hide his heat cycle, but because he was too deliberate, Jiang Mian discovered it instead.

He thought Jiang Mian hadn't noticed.

Zhao Ci noticed that Jiang Mian reached out and tried to catch the colorful little butterflies that were swirling around him, but he couldn't catch them.

"Do you like these little butterflies?" Zhao Ci asked softly.

Jiang Mian paused, having merely stirred the butterflies casually. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, Zhao Ci's long, slender hand grasped Jiang Mian's withdrawn fingers, his voice gentle: "No need to grab them, I can make them come to you automatically."

As Jiang Mian was still in a daze, Zhao Ci's finger stopped her ring finger, and a light, sticky gold powder with a fruity scent landed on Jiang Mian's finger.

Before long, Zhao Ci flapped its wings, and several butterflies were blown to Jiang Mian's side.

These butterflies that had strayed from the group seemed to have caught the same scent and couldn't help but flutter around it.

Jiang Mian naturally did not notice that Zhao Ci had secretly fanned the butterfly towards him.

After all, with those butterflies fluttering around haphazardly, it's understandable that two or three might accidentally wander over here.

Zhao Ci released Jiang Mian's hand, and as Jiang Mian extended her hand, two or three beautiful butterflies gently landed on her fingers, specifically on her ring finger, which was stained with gold dust.

White butterflies, blue butterflies, and purple butterflies took turns alighting on her fingers.

Jiang Mian watched this scene in amazement. She moved her fingers slightly and moved her hand away. The three butterflies slowly flew around and followed her.

Zhao Ci's gaze inevitably fell on her fingers.

Is it the delicate fingers adorned with butterflies, or the fingers that make the butterflies look beautiful?
Zhao Ci didn't know that; he only knew that her hands were beautiful, as beautiful as butterflies.

Jiang Mian played with the three butterflies for a while.

The three of them then left the White Moon Forest.

The butterflies also became fewer and fewer as they moved further out.

After we left the White Moon Forest, none of the butterflies followed us.

Zhou Bai remained silent throughout, maintaining a strictly businesslike demeanor.

He quickly took out the car, glanced at Jiang Mian, and said, "Let's go."

They didn't pay much attention to what Jiang Mian and the butterfly beastman said.

"Hmm." Jiang Mian responded, then glanced at the imperial edict. "Let's go, Imperial Edict."

She planned to find other orcs to accompany her in the afternoon.

After all, Zhao Ci was in heat, so she couldn't let him out again.

Moreover, Jiang Mian has already finished testing them, and there is no need to continue testing them.

From now on, she will focus on her own things.

He resigned and sat in the back seat.

Zhou Bai quickly drove away.

Jiang Mian was thinking about how she was going to switch to another beastman in the afternoon. Then she realized that if she did that, she would have to explain it to Zhao Ci, otherwise he might misunderstand and think that she didn't like him and that she would switch to another beastman in the afternoon.

White Moon Forest is near White City, so it only takes about ten minutes by car to get back to White City.

Jiang Mian parted ways with Zhou Bai at the city gate.

on the way back.

Jiang Mian looked at Zhao Ci and said, "Zhao Ci, you should rest well in the small building this afternoon. After all, you were stung by the Red Moon Worm, so you don't want it to have any further impact. I'll find some other beastmen to go out with me this afternoon."

She still didn't reveal that the other person was in heat.

Just now in the White Moon Forest, Zhao Ci described the aphrodisiac scent of the gold powder as the smell of perfume, clearly not wanting her to know that he was in heat. So Jiang Mian is now pretending not to know that he is in heat.

She wanted Zhao Ci to go back and rest, not only because he had been stung by the Red Moon Worm, but also because he was in heat, so he should rest at home. When Zhao Ci heard Jiang Mian's concern for him and told him to rest in the small building, his purple-gold eyes shone with an intoxicating light. He spoke softly, his voice seemingly carrying a hint of pleasure: "I'm fine, I can go out with you again this afternoon."

Jiang Mian paused for a moment after hearing this.

Jiang Mian:......

When did Zhao Ci become so kind and enthusiastic towards her?
I still feel strangely out of place.

After all, I hated her so much before.

But the important thing is that he's in heat, so Jiang Mian still thinks it's better for him to rest in the small building.

"Cough, no, you should rest in the small building this afternoon. You don't need to come out with me." Jiang Mian had no choice but to make her tone even more irrefutable. "If you're injured, you should take good care of yourself. Even a small injury is still an injury."

After Jiang Mian finished speaking, there was a slight silence in the air.

Zhao Ci stared at her for a while before finally speaking, "Are you concerned about me? Or do you just want to take other orcs with you?"

I don't want to take him out anymore.

Is it because he didn't perform well today?
He was in extreme distress, as if his heart had been suddenly gripped by a hand, his eyes dimmed slightly, and a mix of emotions surged within him.

When Jiang Mian heard these emotionless and calm words, although Zhao Ci's tone was very light and revealed no emotion or anger, just like a normal inquiry, she could still sense the deep concern beneath his calm demeanor.

"Of course I care about you," Jiang Mian said matter-of-factly. Although she didn't know what he cared about, she was just worried about his heat cycle.

You should rest at home during your heat cycle.

All the distress Zhao Ci felt vanished the moment Jiang Mian uttered those words.

He realized that his emotions seemed to be out of control, being influenced by Jiang Mian.

A complex mix of emotions welled up inside me.

Why am I becoming more and more out of control, and liking her more and more?
Even her emotions fluctuated wildly because of one sentence she said.

But it seems he really likes her.

Zhao Ci lowered his eyes slightly and said softly, "Then Mianmian, you must come to me next time."

Jiang Mian paused for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, yes."

She needs to find someone to help her with all the work, just like everyone else.

We can't just keep exploiting one orc.

Jiang Mian felt that Zhao Ci's cold and aloof aura seemed to have disappeared from her today.

So, Zhao Ci really considered her a friend.

He didn't turn evil, nor did he want to kill her.

Not bad.

"Brother, who are you looking at?" the girl's soft voice rang out.

Qi Xu's gaze shifted from Jiang Mian's departing figure in the distance to the rabbit girl in front of her.

The girl was pretty and cute, but her face was extremely pale, an unnatural white, as if she were anemic.

But she was very quiet, with long pink hair, two pink rabbit ears on her head, and a pair of unfocused pink eyes.

Qi Xu looked at his younger sister and asked softly, his voice clear and pure: "You can't see, so how did you notice your brother looking at someone else?"

"Brother, I sensed that your gaze wasn't on me for a moment." The girl spoke softly, her voice as clear and pure as the boy's, but much slower. "Brother, were you looking at your master just now?"
