Invincible Starts With the Harem Harvester

For example, troubles caused by appearance.

This is a beauty's dilemma. Shuxuan dislikes people who exploit their advantages and seems to be a very honest person. Thinking of Shuxuan being engaged to the villain Prince Qin, Xiangyi felt she must have been out of her mind back then.

Fortunately, her own appearance saved Shuxuan from a tragic fate. Xiangyi comforted herself this way before pretending to wake up.

"Sister Shuxuan? Are you heading to work?" she feigned grogginess. Shuxuan seemed startled, then turned and bent down to tidy Xiangyi's hair. "Yes, I'm going to work today. I've left the key for you on the living room table. Just call me if you need anything."

Her attitude was even gentler than yesterday, her fingers lightly stroking Xiangyi's hair as if she couldn't let go. Xiangyi hummed and pulled the covers up, pretending to go back to sleep.

Seeing that Xiangyi had no intention of continuing the conversation, Shuxuan picked up her briefcase and left, even carefully closing the door.

Once the door was shut and she was sure Shuxuan wouldn't return, Xiangyi got up and resumed her exercises. This time, she didn't continue her training inside the ring. In a few hours, she was scheduled to meet with Muning.

But she couldn't calm down at all and turned on the TV. The more she watched, the more she felt she wanted to return to the Flower God Ring.

"Flower Master, you are truly too diligent."

Seeing that Xiangyi ultimately chose to continue training in the Flower God Ring, Hua Nu's expression was somewhat subtle.

"Heh, I'm afraid of dying, so learning more is never wrong," Xiangyi replied with a smile, feeling increasingly inadequate. She always had a feeling she'd be proven wrong someday, so she had to become stronger before then.

"But you know, the progress you're making now would take an ordinary person about ten years to achieve." Hua Nu sighed, recalling how it took her five years to roughly master the complex Falling Leaves Plucking Flowers technique.

But she couldn't say it, nor did she want Xiangyi to know how hard she had worked back then.

"You said ordinary people, I'm the Flower Master," Xiangyi responded with a smile. Hua Nu became even more helpless and whispered, "But Flower Master, you can't just get bored and look for new things. Didn't you see Shaoyao is unhappy because you kissed her these past few days?"

Xiangyi looked at Shaoyao curiously. Indeed, Shaoyao was secretly watching her from the side. As soon as she noticed Xiangyi's gaze, she quickly looked away.

But now, with the Eidetic Memory skill, Xiangyi didn't need to give Shaoyao Spiritual Power anymore. She had intended to follow Shaoyao's wishes and let her be free, but looking at Shaoyao's expression, she seemed addicted to kissing. However, on second thought, Xiangyi felt she was overthinking.

"Isn't this good? I respect her wishes and won't kiss her anymore." Thus, Xiangyi found an excuse for herself, and Hua Nu showed a smile like that of a ride-sharing driver.

"Oh? Do you really think Shaoyao feels that way?" As she spoke, Hua Nu approached Xiangyi, placing her hands on Xiangyi's shoulders as if to conduct an experiment.

Chapter 27-1 Three Teases of the Flower

Xiangyi didn't resist; she even proactively wrapped her arms around Hua Nu's waist. She wasn't coy or pretentious, nor did she feel shy. In Xiangyi's eyes, Hua Nu was just one of the tools, and it was only because of her settings that this Hua Nu was more seductive and enjoyed teasing the Flower Master.

An ordinary person might be mesmerized by Hua Nu's move, but due to her physiological structure, Xiangyi's self-control was relatively strong.

Instead, Hua Nu was taken aback by the hand Xiangyi had placed on her waist, then whispered, "Flower Master, I used to think you were quite troublesome."

Xiangyi, hearing the hidden meaning in her words, continued, "Oh? And now?"

Hua Nu was still smiling. When she smiled, her eyes turned into crescent moons, and the tear mole under her right eye became even more prominent. She was already a fox-like beauty, and acting cute like this in Xiangyi's arms was incredibly captivating. She first glanced at Shaoyao, who was watching with wide eyes, then whispered into Xiangyi's ear, "Now I think we should get along quite well."

Her words were ambiguous, but her body leaned noticeably towards Xiangyi. The softness around her waist and her fragrance were undeniable. However, as a Rose's Hua Nu, how could she let anyone ignore the nature of a rose?

Even if beautiful, she was covered in thorns that made her difficult to approach.

Xiangyi calmed her mind and continued, "Oh? In what way do you think we'll get along?"

Since Hua Nu was playing along with her role-playing, Xiangyi didn't hesitate to respond. Hua Nu laughed even harder, leaning her entire body against Xiangyi, and continued, "Flower Master, the more I look at you, the more comfortable I feel."

Xiangyi smiled without speaking, and Hua Nu got up and left. Seeing that the danger had passed, Xiangyi gathered her Spiritual Power to activate the long sword on the ground. Just then, Shaoyao suddenly ran over. Xiangyi was startled. She intended to command the sword to avoid Shaoyao, but due to excessive force, the sword flew towards the nearest Flower God, Huangquan.

"Huangquan, be careful!" Xiangyi shouted. She didn't have time to reach Huangquan.

Hua Nu also turned to see the scene, but she was clearly too far away. The sword was coming at full force. Huangquan merely glanced indifferently at the sword. As far as Xiangyi could see, Huangquan flicked her finger, and the sword sheath automatically flew into her hand, grasped by her delicate fingers.

The next second, the sword automatically flew into its sheath. Huangquan lazily raised her hand and tossed the sword back to Xiangyi. Xiangyi quickly caught it, feeling incredulous.

If Huangquan were powerful, she wouldn't even be able to leave the Flower God Ring right now.

If Huangquan weren't powerful, her effortless sword control just now had left Xiangyi dumbfounded.

Even though she didn't understand cultivation, she knew how much effort it took to fully control a sword.

Thinking this, Xiangyi decided to try viewing Huangquan's information.

System: Sorry, your current level is too low to view this information.

However, the System indicated that Xiangyi was too weak to be qualified to view Huangquan's profile.

Xiangyi had no choice but to give up and ran over to apologize to Huangquan.

"I'm sorry, Huangquan, you weren't scared, were you?"

Huangquan shook her head, her expression extremely cold, like an emotionless robot. Yet, she was still incredibly beautiful. Every movement she made made Xiangyi hesitant to look too much, fearing that she would be captivated by such beauty and do something irreversible.

Huangquan's beauty could drive people to true madness, so it was essential to maintain a distance when interacting with her. Xiangyi always reminded herself of this when interacting with Huangquan. Glancing again now, she felt she couldn't bear it and subconsciously took a step back.

But Huangquan clearly paid no mind and continued to read her ancient book.

The incident passed, and Xiangyi breathed a sigh of relief, holding her sword and sitting there. She had originally planned to use the remaining time to train properly, but Xiangyi realized she had been a bit too overconfident.

She did have some potential for cultivation, but without solid fundamentals, this potential could still harm herself and others. After thinking about it, she decided to first try controlling the sword with her qi, to prevent a repeat of what just happened.

Self-control, restraint—even for ordinary people, this kind of operation would be too tedious and boring.

Seeing Xiangyi acting like a training fanatic, Shaoyao hesitated to speak, then finally snorted in dissatisfaction and walked away in the opposite direction.

Time quietly passed. Hearing the alarm clock outside the ring, Xiangyi finally emerged. She showered, changed her clothes, and then followed the navigation prompts to find her destination.

The place was a bit far, but for the now physically enhanced Xiangyi, it was another opportunity to start exercising. Listening to the navigation, Xiangyi maintained a running pace towards her destination.

Not long after, they arrived at the agreed-upon Dolphin Pedestrian Street. The dolphin statue was very conspicuous, standing at the entrance of the street, with several people waiting for friends nearby, either standing or sitting.

As soon as someone approached, those people looked up at Xiangyi, then quickly looked down at their phones. Xiangyi checked the time; there was still half an hour. She was about to find a place to sit when she suddenly spotted a figure.

The person was using the shop window to check their appearance and fix their hair. They kept doing this, as if the person they were about to meet was very important, making them repeat the action.

The girl had a great figure; even the simplest t-shirt and shorts couldn't hide her youthful radiance. Plus, it was summer, her long hair flowed, and her legs were white and long, attracting the attention of many people around. Xiangyi couldn't help but glance a few times, then felt as if the person had noticed her gaze.

Xiangyi instinctively planned to look away, to avoid being discovered for staring too long, but after seeing her, the person rushed forward with a brisk step.

Her eyes were dark and bright, shining brilliantly when she met Xiangyi's gaze. The scent of youth, a soft body, and then she hugged Xiangyi, revealing an even sweeter smile.

"Xiangyi."

The person calling Xiangyi's name made Xiangyi realize it was Muning.

Her body gradually relaxed from its stiffness, but she still felt awkward due to the enthusiastic hug. What shocked Xiangyi the most was how much Muning had changed.

The first time they met, Xiangyi thought Muning was very beautiful, perhaps a 90 out of 100. But now, dressed so casually, even without makeup, Muning was a solid 95, so much so that Xiangyi, who was prone to face blindness due to the drastic difference in impression, almost didn't recognize her.

Fun Fact: Face blindness, also known as prosopagnosia, generally manifests in two ways: patients cannot see faces clearly; patients lose the ability to recognize facial features.

Chapter 28-2 This Pit, Should I Jump, or Should I Jump?

Fortunately, Muning had called out to her first.

"Xiangyi? What's wrong?" Even so, Xiangyi hadn't fully reacted, thinking about how to play the part of Xiangyi. After all, it was different from Sister Shuxuan, who was Prince Qin's fiancée.

Muning was the campus belle of their school and Xiangyi's deskmate. The two were extremely close, which led Muning to have no reservations about Xiangyi, giving Prince Qin an opportunity.

"No, I just thought you'd lost weight," Xiangyi quickly reacted and smoothed things over with a smile.

Muning seemed to recall something, her eyes tearing up, but she forced herself not to think about the past that had cast a huge shadow over her. Yet, her appearance only amplified her purity and her pitiable charm.

If one were to compare her to a human like Sister Shuxuan, Sister Shuxuan was a capable and beautiful older sister type, while Muning was a pure girl who evoked a desire to protect, making people want to shield her.

But what was most admirable was that such a beautiful girl could maintain her purity in this increasingly materialistic society. Her eyes were clear, and she didn't even realize that to everyone who appreciated beauty, Muning was a stunning sight.

"Xiangyi... you've also lost a lot of weight. I've been working recently and earned some money, so I must treat you to a good meal." Just as Xiangyi thought Muning was merely recalling that shadow, Muning said this.

Her eyes showed concern, as if she felt Xiangyi had suffered more than she had.

They looked at each other again until a man handing out flyers nearby interrupted their gaze. Only then did they realize they had been staring at each other for a long time.

They awkwardly turned back, refused the man's flyers, and then Xiangyi quickly pulled Muning away.

Muning didn't resist, and even though she stumbled, she still seemed to trust Xiangyi implicitly.

"Xiangyi, should we chat as we walk, or find a place to sit and talk for a while?" Muning had too much she wanted to say, and her mind wasn't on shopping at all. But this went against Xiangyi's original intention; she was worried that if she got too close to Muning, Muning would realize she wasn't the original Xiangyi anymore, so she used shopping as an excuse to walk with Muning.

If possible, Xiangyi wished she could kiss Muning right now and activate the flower seed within her.

Of course, this was completely impossible. This kiss needed to last for three minutes. It was a condition set by a melodramatic author named Xiangyi for their protagonist to activate the Top-tier Flower Person, and now, Xiangyi herself had to endure it with tears in her eyes.

This challenge was somewhat difficult, so Xiangyi still needed to build more emotional connection with Muning. With the plan confirmed in her mind, Xiangyi used buying clothes as an excuse to take Muning around.

Unlike Xiangyi's family background, Muning's was very ordinary, so she was hesitant about clothes. She was very frugal; even if she liked beautiful clothes, she would absolutely restrain herself. Xiangyi observed Muning's gaze and determined her preferences.

Simple and practical were Muning's preferences, and her extremely easygoing personality also evoked a desire to protect her.

Seeing Muning's mood begin to calm down, Xiangyi mentally called out Shaoyao's name.

Shaoyao appeared reluctantly, but despite the awkwardness of last time, her duty was still to help Xiangyi achieve her goals.

Xiangyi: See if you can do something to bring Muning closer to me.

Xiangyi gave the order, informing Shaoyao of her needs.

Shaoyao was confused; this command was too difficult for her, who didn't understand romance. Xiangyi thought for a moment and added, 'Never mind, let's have Hua Nu do it.'

She instinctively planned to have Hua Nu help her, allowing her to get closer to Muning, making Muning lower her guard, and preparing for the three-minute kiss later.

Shaoyao: Are you looking down on me!

Shaoyao was agitated. She felt that ever since that wooden cabin, Xiangyi's attitude towards her had become much colder. Now, seeing Xiangyi asking Hua Nu for help again made Shaoyao unhappy.

The jealousy flared up again. Xiangyi was torn between laughter and tears. She saw Shaoyao quickly approach her. She instinctively shielded Muning, only to see Shaoyao kick away a fallen advertising board with her foot.

Knowing that no one around could see, Xiangyi quickly made a kicking motion, making people around think she was the one who kicked the advertising board. But upon closer inspection, Xiangyi saw Hua Nu standing there, smirking.

Hua Nu: Shaoyao, you're only suitable for guarding. Leave these romantic matters to me.

Her expression held a hint of smugness; clearly, the suddenly fallen advertising board was Hua Nu's doing.

This action was meant to allow Xiangyi to rapidly close the physical distance with Muning. Unfortunately, it was obstructed by Shaoyao's protective behavior. If Xiangyi hadn't reacted in time, Muning's focus might have been on the advertising board instead of Xiangyi.

Shaoyao: You...

Xiangyi's mind was like a chatroom. She helplessly ignored the conversation between the two flower spirits, anxiously checking on Muning's condition.

"Are you alright?"

She held Muning in her arms, her hand around her waist. Muning was startled and looked at Xiangyi before saying, "I'm fine, but why did that advertising board suddenly fall?"

She still seemed confused but showed no intention of separating from Xiangyi, clearly still uneasy.

The employee of this unlucky shop also appeared at this time. After understanding the situation, they apologized to Prince Qin and Shuxuan. Hua Nu stood behind the employee with a smile, patting her shoulder, as if she had done something to make the employee come out and smooth things over.

Muning breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was just an accident. She then remembered that Prince Qin was still holding her and said sheepishly, "Xiangyi, I'm alright now."

Prince Qin didn't let go of her, continuing to ask with concern, "Are you really okay? Your complexion looks a little off."

"No... it's not about the billboard, it's just that I suddenly remembered that day..." Muning's face turned even paler. The scare just now had indeed brought them closer, but it had also triggered Muning's stress response.

"It's okay, it's over now. He won't bother you again."

Prince Qin quickly comforted her, holding Muning tightly again. This wasn't the effect she had intended, but the scare had clearly triggered Muning's most vulnerable spot and also showcased Prince Qin's strength, causing Muning to subconsciously develop a sense of dependence on Prince Qin.

Chapter 29, [1] First Strategy - Talk Less, Do More

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean for this to happen, but..." Muning expressed her apologies, tears falling before she could even finish speaking.

Over the past month, she had been constantly recalling the scene from that day. Not only did she have recurring nightmares about it, but she had also subconsciously developed an aversion to men. Even Muning's brother, Ye Fan, couldn't get close to her.

She hadn't intended to tell Prince Qin about any of this, but unexpectedly, the scare had made her remember what happened before.

"I understand. It's not your fault," Prince Qin hugged Muning tightly, comforting her in a gentle tone, trying to help Muning calm down first.
