Chapter 17 Suspicion
Zhao Ci frowned, but still went over to drink, gulping down a big bowl in one gulp, and casually wiped the soup stains that overflowed from the corners of his mouth.
He washed the bowl and put it back, then walked back to Jiang Mian and said indifferently, "Okay."
Jiang Mian paused, his eyes fell on the sofa opposite, and he said, "Sit down, let's talk slowly."
Zhao Ci glanced at Jiang Mian, lifted his long legs and sat down on the sofa opposite Jiang Mian. His eyes still contained a rebellious coldness, as if he had a rebellious nature that could not be broken.
Jiang Mian:......
"What happened this morning was not my intention. You can punish me however you want." Zhao Ci looked at Jiang Mian with a cold expression, "I won't fight back."
Jiang Mian paused. He thought he had figured it out and was going to accept her rules, but he didn't expect it was because of what happened in the morning.
But she had a flash of inspiration. This was a good step to ease the relationship. She thought of something and said, "I won't punish you, but you have to follow the rules I set with you a few days ago."
Zhao Ci sneered when he heard this: "To please you? You're dreaming."
Jiang Mian took a deep breath. Why did these people always misinterpret her words?
"When I say good to me, I mean good like between friends, not the flattering good between a master and a beast slave." Jiang Mian had no choice but to explain, and at the same time looked at the other beastmen, "Listen to me, all of you. This is what I mean by good."
She slowly began, "The purpose of this rule is to allow us to live in peace, set aside past grudges, and owe each other nothing. Being good to me is my standard for judging you. When I feel you meet this standard, I can let you go and even grant you the status of a free orc."
Jiang Mian gave a long explanation, hoping that they would not misinterpret her meaning again.
"Why would it be so troublesome if we don't owe each other anything?" Zhao Ci looked at her coldly.
Jiang Mian's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he heard Zhao Ci say in a deep voice: "If you cut off one of your arms, we will be even."
His wings were broken by the original owner, and now he wants her, Jiang Mian, to cut off one of her arms?
Jiang Mian:......
Not to mention that she was not the one torturing them, why should she cut off her own arm?
Besides, this is another Jiang Mian in the future, so it is naturally impossible for him to have a broken arm.
Zhao Ci saw Jiang Mian's silence and laughed sarcastically: "Why? Don't you want to settle things?"
Jiang Mian thought that she had a pretty good temper, but being ridiculed time and again like this, did anyone really think she had no temper.
"In that case." Jiang Mian also laughed angrily, "You don't have to follow the rules. When the time comes, the other beastmen can leave, and you can stay by my side forever as my beast slave, doing the laundry, cooking, and serving me on your knees."
When Zhao Ci heard this, his face turned ugly.
"Sister, can we really be friends?" Chi Lin suddenly smiled with interest, "We don't have to be lowly beast slaves anymore?"
Jiang Mian paused and looked at Chi Lin, wondering what the point of his question was.
Because in the past half month, they have never regarded the original owner as their master, and they have no awareness of being beast slaves.
Each one of them is more like the master than her. Everyone gets along with the original owner like an enemy. She said it's good enough if they get along like friends.
I don't dare to have any bigger extravagant hopes.
After all, in the original owner's memory, other people's beast slaves all kneeled to serve their masters, with their heads lowered and their eyes lowered, and were inferior to their masters.
The five beast slaves of this starship are all disobedient and rebellious. They are looking for opportunities to break away from the control of the brain chip and kill the original owner.
"Yeah." Jiang Mian collected his thoughts and just nodded slightly.
She herself did not like the way humans and orcs got along in this era when humans kept orcs in captivity.
When she returned to this era, she was happy that humans had a high status and did not need to be kept in captivity.
But I don’t like this way of getting along.
"That's so nice, sister." Chi Lin curled his lips and smiled slightly.
Jiang Mian always felt that he was speaking in a sarcastic way.
But nothing more was said.
Zhao Ci just frowned, stood up and turned away, and it was unknown whether he had heard her words or not.
However, in the next few days, whenever Jiang Mian called him out to drink nutritious soup, he would come out, although he still didn't look at Jiang Mian in a good mood.
Even if Jiang Mian didn't call him, he would come out automatically.
And the distance to the polluted planet of exile is approaching.
Jiang Mian finally felt that her relationship with the five orcs had taken a step forward. Although it could not reach the level of good friends, at least they had no intention of killing her.
However, this idea was shattered again this morning.
When Jiang Mian woke up this morning, he felt dizzy.
Her whole body felt uncomfortable, especially her brain!
After Jiang Mian finished washing up, he stared at two or three figures of himself in the mirror and shook his head slightly. This time, there were more figures in an instant.
She was sure that there was nothing wrong with the nutritious soup she drank.
There is naturally no problem with nutritional supplements.
As for the plants used to extract nutrients, she was sure that they were not poisonous.
Could it be that someone put something in the nutritious soup?
Jiang Mian's slender, pale fingers supported the white porcelain on the sink, and his fingertips exerted a little force.
After a while, she felt nauseous and vomited violently while leaning against the sink.
After a while, the hazy figure in front of him finally disappeared.
Jiang Mian's slender fingertips slowly placed on his hand to take his pulse.
After a while, her heart sank.
She first washed her face and wiped it clean, then slowly walked out, took out the medicine box and started to prepare the antidote.
This body is poisoned. It was poisoned before she came.
Moreover, it is a chronic poison that will first make people lose their minds gradually, then gradually become completely stupid, and finally die.
Jiang Mian guessed many people as to who poisoned him.
She could be the fake daughter of the Xingjiang family in the imperial capital, or she could be any orc on this starship.
It is speculated that this poison was taken more than half a month ago, so these people may have poisoned her.
The fake daughter of the Jiang family in the imperial capital originally wanted to kill the original owner, so poisoning was naturally a possibility.
Zhao Ci, as a butterfly orc, the glitter on his wings is an aphrodisiac when courting, but it is a poison when killing people.
Lin Yu, as a snake beastman, also has venom in his teeth.
Chi Lin, as a scorpion orc, the tip of his tail is also poisonous.
Rong Fei is a lizard orc, but he is proficient in medicine. The last injection directly poisoned an adult orc, so he might have poisoned him.
Li Yan is a wolf-orc, and there is nothing suspicious about him at the moment, but he may be hiding poison.
Jiang Mian's scalp went numb, and many memories flashed through his mind, but he couldn't find the person who poisoned him.
Everyone is highly suspicious.
