"Big... Big Miss, why are you here?" Dog Leg No. 1, a lackey of Prince Qin, looked surprised, seemingly not understanding why Qin Xiangyi, who had been specifically sent away by Prince Qin, was here.
"He brought me," Qin Xiangyi said, her expression cold, pointing to the male lead, Ye Fan, on the ground.
At this moment, without the help of any golden finger, Ye Fan was at most a handsome young man, far less striking than Prince Qin's handsome face. Coupled with Prince Qin's earlier weakness, Qin Xiangyi had accidentally hit him.
Upon hearing this, the lackey's expression changed, and he immediately shouted, "Good! This man actually dared to kidnap Big Miss! Beat him to death!"
With that, the thugs immediately attacked Ye Fan, fearing that Qin Xiangyi would discover their true intentions.
How could Qin Xiangyi not know this lackey's cunning? Her phone was gone, and everyone around was Prince Qin's subordinate. Even if she could call the police, they wouldn't bother with Qin family matters.
Ultimately, if Qin Xiangyi wanted to resolve the current crisis, she had to rely on herself.
"Stop hitting him for now. This scoundrel also stole my things. What if you break them while beating him?" Qin Xiangyi called out to stop them and then rummaged through Ye Fan's clothes.
Finally, she found the unremarkable Flower God Ring in Ye Fan's pocket.
Since the Flower God Ring was not activated, it appeared very ordinary. Everyone took a glance and didn't give the ring a second thought.
"So dirty, no. I need to wash the ring. You guys can continue beating him." Qin Xiangyi looked at the ring, instinctively put it in her pocket, and then slowly returned to the bathroom.
Closing the door, locking it, the entire action was done in one smooth motion. Qin Xiangyi saw Zhou Muning covering her mouth, her expression one of great pain.
Clearly, Zhou Muning had heard what Qin Xiangyi had said outside. She couldn't understand Qin Xiangyi's actions but had no choice but to believe in Qin Xiangyi's purpose.
"Zhou Muning, you have to believe me. This is our only way." Qin Xiangyi knew she was being cruel, but if she didn't do this, they would both die.
Even as the author, in her own maliciously designed world, she wouldn't survive past the third chapter without a golden finger. Qin Xiangyi was very nervous, afraid that even with all this effort, she wouldn't be able to activate the Flower God Ring.
But this was their only option; she had to try it with Zhou Muning.
"I understand. How... how do I do it?" Due to their long-standing relationship, Zhou Muning chose to believe in Qin Xiangyi's decision, but she was also puzzled about how Qin Xiangyi planned to change their current predicament.
"I need to kiss you."
"Huh?"
Even though Zhou Muning had prepared herself mentally, she had never imagined that Qin Xiangyi would make such a request.
Qin Xiangyi herself felt a little embarrassed. She hated herself for creating such a melodramatic plot but had no choice now. She had to personally try this method to activate it.
"My physique is very special. Only a kiss can activate it... but I can't guarantee success. If we fail, shall we jump down together?" Qin Xiangyi appealed to their emotions. If her relationship with Zhou Muning wasn't that of close friends, she truly wouldn't dare to say such a presumptuous thing.
But the other person was Qin Xiangyi's good friend, and she believed that given Zhou Muning's character, she would agree.
This was a gamble, and Qin Xiangyi wasn't optimistic about their chances of winning.
Zhou Muning didn't answer directly. Instead, she looked at Qin Xiangyi a few more times until she saw the seriousness in Qin Xiangyi's eyes. Finally, she nodded.
"Okay."
The two drew closer. With both of them sober and not harboring romantic feelings for each other, a kiss between two women was indeed a bit awkward.
"Do... do you want to take off your glasses?" Zhou Muning's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum, her face already flushed to her ears.
Chapter 05-1 This Retribution Is Quite Sweet
"Oh, right." Qin Xiangyi felt even more embarrassed. She took off her glasses and reminded her, "We need to kiss for at least a minute."
With that, their distance closed further, and they finally kissed clumsily. Both were novices, and their emotions were extremely tense, making the kiss even more awkward. They didn't know how to proceed or what posture to maintain...
The fragrance from Zhou Muning became more intense. Qin Xiangyi forced herself to immerse in the kiss and finally heard a prompt in her mind.
Flower Cherishing Record System loading...
1%...
5%...
Hearing this, Qin Xiangyi excitedly pressed Zhou Muning against the wall. Zhou Muning was startled but didn't struggle. She became more immersed in the kiss, treating it as the last kiss of her life.
She thought Qin Xiangyi just wanted them not to be lonely on their journey to the underworld, at least to have experienced their first kiss, even if there was no romantic feeling...
Thinking this, her heart began to race due to Qin Xiangyi's aggressive actions.
System loading 93%...
System loading 100%...
Finally, Qin Xiangyi heard the word "100%." She still didn't intend to let Zhou Muning go, waiting for the system to speak to her proactively.
As a result, Zhou Muning was almost suffocated by the kiss. Qin Xiangyi finally heard the slow-to-respond system speak.
System: Flower Fairy detected - Zhou Muning. Plant flower seed?
Qin Xiangyi answered "yes" without hesitation and felt a force emerge from her dantian, then passed through her mouth to Zhou Muning.
System: Flower seed planted successfully. Please wait patiently, Flower Master.
System: Congratulations, Flower Master, on successfully planting a flower seed for the first time. Received 100 Spiritual Power.
System: Congratulations, Flower Master, on receiving Flower Fairy Zhou Muning's first kiss. Received 100 Spiritual Power.
System: Congratulations, Flower Master, on activating the Flower God Ring. Received an extra-dimensional space.
Suddenly, various sounds echoed in her mind. Qin Xiangyi breathed a sigh of relief, almost crying with excitement.
Zhou Muning, however, couldn't stand Qin Xiangyi's forceful kissing anymore. She gently pushed Qin Xiangyi away, her face slightly flushed, not daring to meet Qin Xiangyi's gaze.
"Xiangyi, can you be a little gentler?" she asked, her tone still soft. But upon seeing it, Qin Xiangyi's face lit up with joy, and then she suddenly disappeared before her.
However, in the next second, the vanished Qin Xiangyi reappeared, a faint smile on her face.
"Did you just disappear?"
"Yes, I went to find a helper," Qin Xiangyi smiled at Zhou Muning. She made a grabbing motion with her right hand, as if catching something.
But no matter how Zhou Muning looked, she couldn't see anything in Qin Xiangyi's hand.
"You've forgotten you can't see it, but it doesn't matter, we can go out now." Qin Xiangyi paused, then grabbed Zhou Muning's arm with her other hand and walked out.
The bathroom door opened, and Prince Qin, who had already woken up, was sitting outside. Seeing his sister Qin Xiangyi pulling Zhou Muning, Prince Qin flew into a rage.
"Qin Xiangyi, do you want to die!"
"Prince Qin, do you really think you can do whatever you want?" Qin Xiangyi didn't give Prince Qin any pleasantries either. Despite being siblings, their appearances and personalities were complete opposites.
Zhou Muning, watching from the side, was extremely anxious, worried that this Prince Qin, who recognized no family, would cruelly attack them.
"You've really rebelled! I'm taking Zhou Muning today, what can you do to me!" Prince Qin shouted. Qin Xiangyi merely sneered and continued, "Hua Nu, attack!"
As she spoke, a cold wind swept through, and the temperature in the entire room began to drop. Prince Qin, thinking Qin Xiangyi was playing tricks, was about to speak when his body completely paralyzed. He then fell to the ground uncontrollably.
Prince Qin's expression was one of disbelief, while the people around him showed fear and instinctively took a few steps back, unsure if Qin Xiangyi had summoned some expert.
Qin Xiangyi chuckled lightly. She made a waving motion, and in an instant, the nearest thug was sent flying. She said coldly, "Get lost!"
Seeing Qin Xiangyi's murderous aura, the onlookers exchanged glances and quickly left.
Qin Xiangyi knocked the unconscious Prince Qin out again and spoke to the empty air, "Hua Nu, you've worked hard."
Then, as if hearing a response, Qin Xiangyi continued with a helpless tone, "I can't kill him. Even though he deserves to die, my family wouldn't let me off… What, you killed them all? Hua Nu, I really regret bringing you out!"
Zhou Muning looked at Qin Xiangyi talking to herself and became even more uneasy, thinking Qin Xiangyi had hit her head and gone mad.
But in reality, from Zhou Muning's unseen perspective, she was talking to a beautiful woman in her thirties.
This beautiful woman was a servant Qin Xiangyi had brought out from the Flower God Ring. Her true name was unknown, but everyone called her Hua Nu.
Hua Nu's prototype was a rose, incredibly beautiful, with a tear mole adorning the lower part of her right eye. As a flower that had lived for tens of thousands of years, this Hua Nu had long since become sentient. However, no matter how many years passed, she still couldn't bring herself to like humans.
"Aren't you going to explain to the little girl next to you?" Hua Nu reminded her again. Qin Xiangyi shifted her gaze and saw Zhou Muning looking worried. After some thought, Qin Xiangyi decided not to directly tell Zhou Muning about her dual golden fingers. Instead, she would explain the reason for her changes in a way that fit this world.
"I'm sorry, I scared you. Actually, I've awakened my abilities."
Zhou Muning nodded, half-believing. However, she first blushed, then thought about the inexplicable awakening ceremony.
Qin Xiangyi didn't pay too much attention to Zhou Muning's emotions. She crouched down and injected Spiritual Power into Ye Fan. Ye Fan, who had been unconscious, woke up.
Seeing the unconscious Prince Qin on the ground, Ye Fan's expression changed drastically, as if he thought Prince Qin was dead.
Qin Xiangyi looked at the stunned Ye Fan and then at Zhou Muning's pitiful appearance. She could only instruct again, "Ye Fan, take Zhou Muning home first. As for what happens here, I'll handle it myself."
After thinking for a moment, she ultimately decided to clean up the mess herself.
This was her own doing. Now that she had taken Ye Fan's golden finger, it was useless to him. Rather than suffering with her, it was better for him to enjoy a good life sooner.
As for how to resolve this situation, Qin Xiangyi had already thought of a plan.
Seeing Qin Xiangyi working so hard for her, Zhou Muning stepped forward and took Qin Xiangyi's hand. "Xiangyi, I'll stay and accompany you."
Qin Xiangyi's heart warmed. She felt that her protagonist persona was truly excellent. Kind and gentle, embodying all the beautiful qualities of a white lotus. Thinking about how Zhou Muning would be bullied in various ways in the future due to her author's wicked sense of humor, she regretted her own recklessness.
Chapter 06-2 So This Is Flower Picking~
She patted Zhou Muning's shoulder and continued, "It's okay. I'm one of the heirs of the Qin Family, after all. At worst, I'll be expelled from the family. Once I've sorted this out, I'll come see you."
Qin Xiangyi said it casually. Although she couldn't face the entire Qin Family yet, with the Flower God Ring, she wouldn't be completely passive.
Zhou Muning still seemed reluctant, so Qin Xiangyi winked at Ye Fan. Ye Fan immediately persuaded his sister, Zhou Muning, and the two finally left.
Qin Xiangyi began to clean up the scene, wiping away Zhou Muning's fingerprints with Ye Fan and then covering them with her own.
Naturally, to prevent the Qin Family from retaliating against Zhou Muning and Ye Fan, she had Hua Nu destroy the surveillance footage, ensuring everything was foolproof.
Therefore, when the Qin Family arrived, Prince Qin had become a truly living dead man. The Qin Family blamed Qin Xiangyi for this, believing her abilities had gone berserk, and sent her to the infamous Baichi Sanatorium…
Here, Qin Xiangyi finally accepted the fact that she had transmigrated into her own novel and began to familiarize herself with everything in this world.
On a night without surveillance, with nothing else to do, Qin Xiangyi finally entered the alternate dimension of the Flower God Ring for the second time.
Unlike the first time, which lasted only a few seconds, this time was considered Qin Xiangyi's formal introduction to the people within the Flower God Ring.
The space within the Flower God Ring wasn't large, only about 100 square meters. It contained a simple small house and a plot of empty farmland, resembling some strange farming simulation game.
As if sensing Qin Xiangyi's arrival, three figures emerged from the small house. There was Hua Nu, who Qin Xiangyi had brought out earlier to deal with Prince Qin; Little Grass, a loli around ten years old; and a woman in a white ancient-style dress.
"Flower Master, you've finally arrived," Hua Nu said, looking extremely excited, as if she hadn't seen Qin Xiangyi in decades.
To make the male protagonist likable and motivated, Qin Xiangyi had originally set it up so that one day outside would be a month inside, allowing him to farm, grow flowers, and build his fortune.
Therefore, while three days had passed outside for Qin Xiangyi, three months had already gone by inside the Flower God Ring.
Seeing Hua Nu's excitement, Qin Xiangyi immediately apologized, "I'm sorry, some things outside caused delays."
Hua Nu seemed a little angry, as if recalling something, and said with dissatisfaction, "This old servant saw it all. Humans now are just like they were ten thousand years ago!"
Everyone inside the Flower God Ring could sense what was happening outside, and naturally knew about Qin Xiangyi's difficult situation these past few days, even being sent to a place called Baichi Sanatorium.
Qin Xiangyi was unfazed, approaching the situation with the mindset of following a novel's script. She stubbornly played the fool for three days. If she hadn't constantly reminded herself that this was a novel world, she probably wouldn't have gotten through it so smoothly.
But this proved that the persona she had previously established for herself, second only to the male lead, had indeed worked. Otherwise, she wouldn't have just been left to her own devices.
"Hua Nu, you seem to have even cursed me. Oh right, and who is this beautiful older sister...?" Qin Xiangyi feigned a relaxed tone. Up to this point, she hadn't dared to even glance at the woman in white.
As the creator of the novel, she naturally knew this woman's identity. However, as the current owner of the ring, Qin Xiangyi had to go through the motions of meeting this excessively beautiful woman in white.
"Flower Master, this is the Flower God, Lord Huangquan."
The Hua Nu finally remembered to introduce them to each other. Qin Xiangyi stole a glance out of the corner of her eye, not daring to look closely. The woman was dressed in white, with black hair and red eyes, possessing exquisite beauty and unparalleled cold elegance.
"Flower God?" Qin Xiangyi repeated, feeling as though that one glance had almost stolen her soul. Fortunately, the current Flower God Huangquan, having lost her cultivation, didn't possess the overwhelming aura one might expect.
But her beauty was still the pinnacle of human aesthetics. The campus belle Zhou Muning, whom Qin Xiangyi had met a few days prior, paled in comparison to this Flower God. She didn't dare to look again, fearing she might become infatuated.
"Yes, the story begins tens of thousands of years ago..." The Hua Nu's eyes welled up with tears as she began to recount the distant memories.
The Flower God Huangquan was the daughter of the Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable and the Mother of the Heavenly Dao. Because she was too beautiful, war followed wherever she went.
Unexpectedly, not only the Underworld King but even the newly appointed Immortal Emperor fell for the Flower God Huangquan. The war reached the Peak of the Other Shore, where Huangquan resided. At such a critical moment, the Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable and the Mother of the Heavenly Dao went missing. The Flower God, refusing to yield, dismissed all the Flower People and hid in the Flower God Ring with the Hua Nu and Little Grass.
Time passed, and a full ten thousand years were spent in the Flower God Ring until she met Qin Xiangyi, which finally activated the ring.
The story was quite detailed. It seemed that because the novel had become a real world, much of the content had been automatically supplemented. For instance, the Peach Blossom Immortal Venerable and the Mother of the Heavenly Dao were not part of Qin Xiangyi's original settings at all.
Seeing that the explanation was mostly complete, the Hua Nu said sincerely, "The Flower God wishes to return to the Upper Realm and requires your help, Flower Master."
