“Come out.
You’ll find out in a moment,” Jiang Mian said slowly.
‘Do I really have to invite each and every one of them out?’
‘Aren’t I the master?
And aren’t they the Beast Slaves?’
‘Sigh.
But I know that in three years, I won’t be their master anymore.’
Li Yan sneered and strode out.
He came out so suddenly that Jiang Mian instinctively took a few steps back.
The people behind her also instinctively dodged to the sides, as if worried she might try to frame them for something.
It was as if she were a virus; every single one of them seemed to avoid getting close to her.
She noticed this, of course.
Their movements to avoid her were so obvious it was impossible not to.
Jiang Mian: …
She didn’t really care, though.
She planned to let these Beastmen go when the time was right, anyway.
When that time came, they would go their separate ways.
The corner of her mouth twitched.
Pretending she hadn’t seen a thing, she went to the last Beastman’s door.
“KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK…”
She knocked again and again.
But a long time passed, and still, no one opened the door.
Just as Jiang Mian was about to push the door open and go in to check, it swung open.
The sound of rock music spilled out from the room.
A young man with short, dark cyan hair appeared before her.
He wore a flamboyant, deep V-neck cyan shirt, the hem tucked tightly into black dress pants.
A white gauze bandage was wrapped around his neck, giving him a look that was both sexy and alluring.
Chi Lin’s peach-blossom eyes landed on Jiang Mian, crinkling with a smile.
His lips, a vibrant red, moved slightly, his voice carrying a teasing, dragging cadence.
“Here to supervise today?”
Jiang Mian fell silent.
From the original owner’s memories, she knew that after being exiled, all their property was confiscated.
There wasn’t a single Star Coin in her Light Brain, and to survive on the Deserted Star, she would definitely need money to buy food and other supplies.
So where would the Star Coins come from?
The original owner had set her sights on the Scorpion Beastman.
She made the Scorpion Beastman stream on the Star Network every day as a “borderline” Beastman to earn money.
Sometimes, the original owner would even stream with the Scorpion Beastman.
When the two of them streamed together, what could they possibly show?
It was, of course, a master taming her Beast Slave, a broadcast where all sorts of torture instruments were used on the Beastman.
Because the status of Beastmen was so incredibly low, these kinds of streams were allowed to exist.
The moment Jiang Mian thought about the memory of their joint streams, she felt a wave of dizziness.
“Come out.
We’re having a meeting.” ‘I really wish I could delete these memories from my mind,’ Jiang Mian thought.
“But…
I’m still streaming,” Chi Lin said, his peach-blossom eyes brimming with their usual seductive allure.
His crimson lips moved slightly, his voice slow and drawn out.
“My top donor is here today.
I can make a lot of money for you to spend.”
As he spoke, he slowly raised a slender hand.
Its wrist was also wrapped in white gauze, from which faint red bloodstains seeped.
He curled his lips into a smile.
“This hand hasn’t been cut yet today.”
Hearing this, Jiang Mian felt even more dizzy.
“You don’t have to stream anymore,” Jiang Mian said.
The mere thought of his streaming content made her head spin.
If it were just simple, suggestive stuff, that would be one thing.
But he was a Beastman, and in an era where the status of Beastmen was abysmally low and they had no legal rights, people’s malice towards them was even greater.
The top donors liked seeing the Scorpion Beastman with his neck and beautiful wrists stained red with blood.
They found it exciting and thrilling.
When Chi Lin heard this, he didn’t take her words to heart at all.
He simply didn’t believe her.
His eyelids lowered slightly as he blinked his peach-blossom eyes innocently, his expression alluringly seductive.
“Oh?
I use other women’s money to support you.
Aren’t you happy?”
Jiang Mian: …
‘No, he’s the one earning money from suggestive streams, but the way he puts it sounds so wrong and twisted.’
And it seemed he was saying it that way on purpose.
“Thanks for the offer, but no thanks.” The corner of Jiang Mian’s mouth twitched.
“As for how to earn Star Coins, I’ll figure out a way.”
‘I’m a pure human female with Level 3S Healing Power, ten years of clinical experience treating Beastmen, and ten years of experience as a Pharmacist.
I’m not worried about job prospects at all, okay?’
Besides, Jiang Mian was already planning to start a business on the Exile Star.
Chi Lin’s gaze lingered on Jiang Mian for a moment before he chuckled softly.
He asked probingly, “So, should I go turn off the stream now?”
“Go ahead,” Jiang Mian replied.
“Okay,” Chi Lin responded obediently.
The moment he turned around, however, the smile and deliberately seductive expression vanished from his face.
‘This woman forced me to do these suggestive streams in the first place.
Now that I’m actually making money from it, she’s suddenly telling me to stop.
I have no idea what’s going on in her head.’
Jiang Mian and the others waited at the door.
A moment later, Chi Lin returned, that same smile back on his face.
“I’ve turned off the stream.”
“Good.
Everyone, come with me,” Jiang Mian said, leading the way to the living room.
The five Beastmen, ignoring each other, followed silently behind Jiang Mian.
Half a month ago, these five Beastmen were all strangers, brought together only because of Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian went to the sofa in the Starship’s living room and sat down.
There were other sofas on either side.
She looked at the five approaching Beastmen and said, “You can sit, too.”
The moment she finished speaking, no one sat down.
Jiang Mian: ?
“You’re the master, and we’re lowly Beast Slaves.
How could we dare to sit on the same sofa as you?” Li Yan said mockingly.
‘Listening to his tone,’ Jiang Mian thought, ‘does that sound like someone who wouldn’t dare?
They’d dare to do plenty, I’m sure.’
‘Besides, do they even see me as their master?
Not at all, okay?’
“Oh.
In that case, I order you to sit down.
Is that better?” Jiang Mian looked up at them, her tone flat.
Rong Fei was the first to sit.
He naturally took the spot next to Jiang Mian, then turned his head to look at her and said in a soft, quiet voice, “Thank you, Master.”
With the first person seated, the others followed suit.
Except for Rong Fei, who sat close to her, everyone else sat far away.
It was painfully obvious, as if they were afraid she wouldn’t notice how much they hated her.
Jiang Mian: …
‘I won’t sweat the small stuff.’
Aside from the problem of not having enough food, there was also the issue of the tense relationship between them.
After all, they would have to live together for a short while.
It was better to clear the air about some things.
“Ahem.
Since everyone’s here, I’ll get straight to the point,” Jiang Mian began slowly.
“I know that over the past half a month, I’ve done many terrible things to you.”
“It’s alright.
You can do even worse things to me,” Chi Lin said, his voice light and trailing.
He gave a flirtatious blink of his peach-blossom eyes.
“Don’t you go easy on me.”
Jiang Mian: …
‘So much for setting the mood.’
The Scorpion Beastman might have said that, but Jiang Mian didn’t dare take him seriously.
As one of the future Beast Masters, the Scorpion Beast Master was a smiling, amorous King of Hell, infamous for his countless romantic scandals.
The sweeter his words, the more ruthless his kills.
