Invincible Starting From Harem Harvester

That moment, Qin Xiangyi felt as if she'd been taken advantage of. Yet, she still felt like she'd come out ahead, after all, she'd successfully planted the flower seed.

"Uh, I can't accept this," Qin Xiangyi continued to refuse. Zhang Mou added another two hundred yuan and said, "You've done me such a huge favor, how can I not thank you properly."

"But, as you can see, I'm working. Our hotel has a strict no-tipping policy," Qin Xiangyi quickly came up with a new excuse, determined not to take the money.

But Zhang Mou's eyes lit up at her words. She didn't push further, instead taking the money back and saying, "If it's a hotel policy, then there's nothing I can do. Leave me your contact information, and I'll treat you to a meal in a few days to thank you for your help."

As Zhang Mou spoke, she winked at Qin Xiangyi, as if hinting at the true intention behind the meal invitation. In that instant, Qin Xiangyi felt genuinely seen, and what was terrifying was that this person was her adoptive mother, and not long ago, Qin Xiangyi had turned her son into a vegetable.

With all sorts of subtle relationships piling up, Qin Xiangyi was initially resistant. But she hadn't managed to create a Flower Person since arriving here, and Zhang Mou's easily-fooled demeanor made Qin Xiangyi feel she could try a little harder.

After a moment's thought, Qin Xiangyi replied, "I just got a new phone recently, so I don't have my number memorized. How about this, Madam, you give me your number, and I'll send you a text when I get my phone back, so we can stay in touch."

Zhang Mou's smile widened, and she readily wrote her phone number on Qin Xiangyi's hand before going to change. It was as if, compared to her current disheveled state, Qin Xiangyi's presence was more important.

Jing Shuxuan watched, even more confused. Seeing Zhang Mou changing, she quickly pulled Qin Xiangyi aside to ask.

"Xiao Yi, what did you put in Auntie? She was rambling on and on when she first saw you, but how did she become so cheerful in such a short time?" Jing Shuxuan didn't understand Zhang Mou's change in attitude and was even more worried that after messing with her brother, Prince Qin, Qin Xiangyi was now extending her wicked little hands towards Zhang Mou.

"Maybe it's because I saved her. She's incredibly friendly to me and even asked if I had a boyfriend," Qin Xiangyi quickly lied, not daring to tell Jing Shuxuan about the strange turn of events with Zhang Mou. Moreover, this development was likely to continue, perhaps even in a hotel next time.

Jing Shuxuan clearly didn't believe her either, but hearing Zhang Mou call her, she could only say helplessly, "I'll deal with you when we get home... Auntie, I'm coming." With that, Jing Shuxuan entered the room, and Qin Xiangyi smiled and turned to leave, heading to the venue.

It was already past eight in the evening. Besides the greeters and security guards, there was no one else at the entrance. Qin Xiangyi took a few steps forward, and the door suddenly opened. The waitress, Little Grass, came out, grabbed Qin Xiangyi, and said, "Xiao Dan, hurry up! It's too busy inside!"

The bodyguards glanced at Qin Xiangyi along with the others. Because Qin Xiangyi's face was familiar, they didn't stop her from entering, allowing her to go in smoothly.

"Master, I'll report on the situation just now... The person called President Ye didn't come, only her assistant showed up, that man..." Waitress Little Grass reported the chaotic outcome during Qin Xiangyi's absence, not expecting it to be just a farce.

Qin Xiangyi listened speechlessly. She had thought she would actually meet this so-called important figure, but when she thought about how this farce had turned Zhang Mou into a Flower Fairy and she herself had injected a flower seed, she felt she hadn't lost out.

After Waitress Little Grass finished her report, Qin Xiangyi waved her hand, signaling her to continue listening to other gossip. Little Grass paused, as if remembering something, and added, "Oh, right, Master, Xia Shang is also here. She was just examining that uncle's arm, seemingly looking for the culprit."

Little Grass's memories were all shared. If one Little Grass saw something, all other Little Grasses would synchronize their memories. Even if a memory Little Grass died, the others would still know. Therefore, this Little Grass had also seen Qin Xiangyi's conversation with Xia Shang inside the Flower God Ring and knew that Xia Shang was a Flower Fairy, hence the special reminder.

Qin Xiangyi hummed, her heart calm. She understood that no matter how intelligent Xia Shang was, she wouldn't guess that the culprit was a Flower Person who didn't exist in this world at all.

However, Qin Xiangyi was curious about how Xia Shang would deduce things. She looked around, searching for Xia Shang's presence, but instead felt a power. That power made Qin Xiangyi's back chill, as if her entire being was being seen through.

Qin Xiangyi: Hua Nu, have I been discovered?

Hua Nu: Flower Master, someone is scanning the surroundings with their abilities, looking for other ability users.

Hua Nu explained calmly, having adapted to the new century's terminology.

Qin Xiangyi: Oh, judging by your calm tone, you mean they can't detect my presence, right?

Hua Nu: Yes. I read about cultivators among the Chosen Ones in a bookstore before. That already simplified true cultivation to less than a tenth. What you're learning now, Flower Master, is genuine cultivation. Low-level skills like this can't scan your true potential at all.

Hua Nu's explanation put Qin Xiangyi at ease. However, she was also curious about who was scanning the surroundings, so she pretended to look around.

Chapter 63 [1]A Tiger Lies Ahead

With that glance, she discovered Xia Shang.

Today, Xia Shang was wearing a dark blue evening gown, her glasses removed. Some of her intellectual and elegant aura was gone, replaced by a hint of aggression. Moreover, there was a faint golden glow in her eyes, suggesting that the uncomfortable feeling she'd just experienced originated from Xia Shang.

Perhaps noticing Qin Xiangyi's gaze, the golden light in Xia Shang's eyes faded, and she began to size up Qin Xiangyi. Her gaze was probing, and she then looked towards Qin Xiangyi's wrist, attempting to find the mark of a Chosen One.

This was something Qin Xiangyi couldn't hide. Even if her appearance changed, the mark of a Chosen One couldn't be faked. However, Qin Xiangyi wasn't afraid. Everything that had happened was under surveillance, and she had been recorded by the cameras. Even if someone suspected foul play against that uncle, they wouldn't suspect her. Confident in this, Qin Xiangyi relaxed her movements and demeanor, holding the tray of wine and continuing to serve the guests, blending in completely.

Hua Nu: Flower Master, Xia Shang is walking towards you.

Qin Xiangyi hummed, pretending not to notice Xia Shang's presence, and handed a glass of red wine to a gentleman who needed it. As she turned, she caught a whiff of an oncoming fragrance.

Qin Xiangyi feigned a startled reaction, intending to perform her signature move of "falling over" to lessen Xia Shang's suspicion. But who knew Xia Shang's performance was faster? She leaned back. Qin Xiangyi reached out and grabbed Xia Shang. At that moment, she suddenly thought that with an ordinary person's strength, she couldn't possibly hold Xia Shang back.

Yet, she did, and she stood so steady that her body didn't even budge. Looking at Xia Shang, a faint smile played on her lips, as if her intention was merely to test Qin Xiangyi's strength. Now that the facts were out, pretending to be ordinary was useless. Qin Xiangyi applied a little force and pulled Xia Shang towards her.

Still holding the tray with one hand, she steadily pulled Xia Shang into her embrace with the other. Due to inertia, Xia Shang's skin brushed lightly against Qin Xiangyi's, and her fragrance wafted over. Qin Xiangyi smiled faintly and said, "Miss, are you alright?"

Xia Shang smiled back, with a somewhat inscrutable smile, and subconsciously made a gesture of adjusting her glasses, seemingly still unaccustomed to not wearing them. But this subtle action also told Qin Xiangyi that her emotions were somewhat shaken.

If Qin Xiangyi had hidden her strength earlier, Xia Shang might have been more suspicious. But now, Qin Xiangyi didn't conceal anything, which instead made Xia Shang doubt if her own assumptions were correct.

"I'm fine," Xia Shang said, stepping back. Her gaze fixed on Qin Xiangyi, she remained silent.

They both looked at each other's faces. While Qin Xiangyi merely admired, Xia Shang's instincts were triggered, and a sense of rivalry arose.

When faced with a beautiful woman, another equally outstanding woman might react in various ways.

For instance, admiration, or a natural sense of competition, especially for women with a strong desire to win. Clearly, Xia Shang appeared calm, but she happened to be one of those women with a strong desire to win.

"It's good that you're fine. I'm so sorry about earlier. I wasn't paying attention when I turned around and accidentally bumped into you," Qin Xiangyi said, neither subservient nor arrogant, even though she knew perfectly well that Xia Shang had deliberately bumped into her.

"It's fine, it's also my fault for walking too fast. But beautiful lady, you're really strong. You caught me, and not a drop of wine spilled," Xia Shang continued with a smile, probing Qin Xiangyi's capabilities.

"I suppose I can be considered a Chosen One." Qin Xiangyi touched the Chosen One mark on her arm, then lowered her head, deliberately feigning a look of difficulty.

In Ocean City, Chosen Ones were not well-regarded. Coupled with the fact that the headquarters of the Baichi Sanatorium was located in Ocean City, it had unsurprisingly become a city with the highest crime rate. Here, Chosen Ones were even less fortunate than ordinary people. Qin Xiangyi tried hard to portray the hardships of living in such an environment, also explaining to Xia Shang why she had ended up as a waitress.

"Oh, with someone as beautiful as you, shouldn't you have better options?" Xia Shang asked again, seemingly deliberately provoking Qin Xiangyi with her question.

Xia Shang was a criminal psychologist and a profiling expert, with experience in fields like criminal investigation and interrogation. She was clearly still suspicious of Qin Xiangyi and thus threw out more sharp questions.

"Even the best options aren't as comfortable as standing on my own two feet." Qin Xiangyi didn't fall for the bait. She nodded slightly and heard Waitress Little Grass calling her, which pulled her out of the passive situation.

"I'm sorry, Miss, I'm still working, so I need to get back to it." With that, Qin Xiangyi quickly left. Xia Shang remained, staring at Qin Xiangyi's retreating back, her smile widening, but clearly filled with more interest.

Shaoyao: Flower Master, she smiled at your back. The way she looked was just like how the Hua Nus usually look at you.

Qin Xiangyi was truly busy. She could still hear Shaoyao's description in her mind. She had been very serious at first, but upon hearing Shaoyao's words, she almost burst out laughing.

Shaoyao was confused, not knowing what was so funny. As for the Hua Nu, she watched Shaoyao with a smile, her expression appearing very unfriendly.

Seeing the Hua Nu's expression, Shaoyao continued, "Yes, it's that kind of expression... Hua Nu, why are you taking out a silver needle!"

Shaoyao, who was about to go with Qin Xiangyi to claim credit, was instead chased by the Hua Nu. Even though they were playing so fiercely, no one present noticed these two people in ancient costumes. Qin Xiangyi continued to busily serve the crowd, the gaze from behind her still lingering, as if she were being targeted.

Qin Xiangyi felt miserable in her heart but had no way to express her grievance, trying her best to act as if she knew nothing.

A moment later, Jing Shuxuan and Zhang Mou finally returned. Zhang Mou, who had looked disheveled earlier, was now beaming and greeting everyone around her like a social butterfly. Zhang Mou had good 'popularity' among men, and Qin Xiangyi couldn't help but glance at her a few more times. Without prejudice, she found Zhang Mou to be a truly smart and capable woman.

Jing Shuxuan seemed to be learning from her, like a life mentor. Their conversation and demeanor were more like a mother and daughter than a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, jointly confronting enemies, protecting themselves, and achieving their goals. Moreover, her methods of manipulation were such that they achieved her goals without harming herself, appearing extremely sophisticated.

Chapter 64 [2] Friend to Women

Hua Nu: This human is quite interesting, but her aura is strange. She wasn't a Flower Fairy just now, so how did she suddenly become one?

The Hua Nu, having finished "teaching" Shaoyao a lesson, emerged from the Flower God Ring again, looking refreshed, as if she had thoroughly "pricked" Shaoyao. Qin Xiangyi glanced at the Hua Nu, continuing her internal response.

Qin Xiangyi: Perhaps her inner darkness was stimulated.

Hua Nu: Oh, why do I feel like it was you, Flower Master, who turned her into a Flower Fairy?

Qin Xiangyi didn't reply, but this reminder made her recall the persona she had previously established for this minor character.

[Friend to Women, Nightmare of the Rich and Idle.]

Perhaps it was because Qin Xiangyi helped women and dealt with a minor character, thus activating the condition. Or perhaps, this world had conjured up the laws that produced Flower Fairies.

If that were the case, were her planned forty-eight heroines not enough?

As this thought arose, Qin Xiangyi also thought of Zhang Mou's attack on her earlier. If everyone were like Zhang Mou, a "carnivore," then she...

This thought made Qin Xiangyi a little scared. She couldn't imagine how much she would have to sacrifice in the future to create Flower People.

"Waiter, two glasses of red wine here." Suddenly, Zhang Mou's voice reached her. Qin Xiangyi instinctively turned around and saw Zhang Mou's smiling face.

"Certainly, Madam, Miss... your drinks." Qin Xiangyi handed over the pre-prepared red wine on the tray. Jing Shuxuan took it first and thanked Qin Xiangyi. Then, Zhang Mou also took a drink, and as her hand touched Qin Xiangyi's, the tip of her finger lightly brushed Qin Xiangyi's fingers. The movement was very subtle, but it was clearly a flirtatious gesture towards Qin Xiangyi.

After taking the red wine, Zhang Mou glanced at Qin Xiangyi again, confirming whether her phone number was still on her palm.

"It is our honor to serve our guests," Qin Xiangyi said with a helpless smile, stepping back a little from Zhang Mou and quickly moving to another area.

Qin Xiangyi: Hua Nu, Xia Shang didn't see this, did she?

Hua Nu: She saw it clearly, and her lips curved up, seeming to be even more interested in you, Flower Master.

The Hua Nu reported Xia Shang's reaction while Qin Xiangyi was exchanging glances with Zhang Mou. Qin Xiangyi felt a sudden bitterness, realizing that with so many Flower Fairies, her survival as a novice Flower Master seemed extremely difficult.

Qin Xiangyi: Stay with Xia Shang within a safe range and see if she has noticed anything about me and the killer.

Hua Nu: Yes.

The Hua Nu left quickly as she spoke. Qin Xiangyi then called for Shaoyao, hoping Shaoyao would keep an eye on Zhang Mou and Jing Shuxuan again. However, Shaoyao was doing something inside, and in the end, only Little Grass emerged.

Seeing the bewildered look on the original Little Grass, Qin Xiangyi silently picked her up and tossed her into the Flower God Ring. The action was swift, looking as if she were clearing a table.

Qin Xiangyi continued to wander, listening to people's gossip, but without the presence of that important figure, it all seemed incredibly boring.

As for the gossip, it was all hearsay and had no substance. Qin Xiangyi yawned out of boredom, contemplating whether to leave early, when she saw the Hua Nu return, but she brought bad news.

Hua Nu: Flower Master, Xia Shang has already identified you as the killer. The Qin family is now sending people to investigate your information as a server. Moreover, there are several skilled fighters at the entrance, clearly to prevent you from escaping.

The Hua Nu informed her of everything that had happened during Qin Xiangyi's period of boredom. Xia Shang had confirmed her identity as the killer and had even begun preparations for her arrest.

"As expected of a woman with an IQ of 200 in my persona," Qin Xiangyi said, half-crying and half-laughing. She recalled carefully; she hadn't been perfect this time. The main point was that her recent contact with Zhang Mou and Zhang Mou's provocative behavior had signaled to Xia Shang that there was some connection between them.

Even if Xia Shang didn't think Qin Xiangyi was the killer, she couldn't be completely disconnected from the situation. Furthermore, with the ongoing investigation, they would soon discover that the hotel had no records of Qin Xiangyi, thus leading to her capture and interrogation.

Qin Xiangyi felt it was time to make a run for it, but her escape needed to be elegant. Having decided, she walked into the restroom and changed into the evening gown prepared by Huangquan earlier.

The harmless effect on her body was removed, revealing her true appearance. She was even more beautiful and radiant than before. If she appeared like this, all eyes would be on her.

The Hua Nu looked at Qin Xiangyi's actions, even more confused. "Flower Master, isn't this making it harder for you to leave?"

Qin Xiangyi: "After all, I came here to cause trouble. I want to make a grand entrance and let Xia Shang know I'm here to cause trouble."

Qin Xiangyi added with a smile. Since Xia Shang understood psychology so well, she, as the mother who created Xia Shang, would use psychology to deceive her.

The Hua Nu understood even less and saw Qin Xiangyi walk out.

Little Grass, the server, deliberately broke a glass, drawing everyone's attention and simultaneously drawing notice to Qin Xiangyi's presence. Qin Xiangyi smiled, and the sound of gasps could be heard around her. She exuded her superior charm and continuously implied that she was a beauty.

"Who is this? I didn't see her earlier."

"Right, whose daughter is this?"

Xia Shang, in the distance, finally showed a surprised expression, but her smile then became even more meaningful, her interest in Qin Xiangyi deepening.

Qin Xiangyi pretended not to notice. Her gaze was focused, scanning the entire venue, and then she found the uncle whose hand Shaoyao had broken earlier. She then quickly walked towards the uncle. The uncle was ecstatic, thinking his luck with women had arrived. But as he happily extended his remaining hand, what followed was not Qin Xiangyi's friendly gesture, but a kick.

Her high heel landed squarely on target. Qin Xiangyi cursed, "Scumbag, you're trying to flirt with me when you already have a wife!" After saying that, she quickly headed towards the exit.

The two people guarding the door were stunned for a moment. They felt themselves being pushed aside as Qin Xiangyi strode out.

The entire place fell silent. The uncle struggled in pain, wanting to tell his wife that he had nothing to do with that woman, but he couldn't even get up. The uncle's wife, standing nearby, continued to curse, "I finally know why your hand was broken! And here I was, begging the clan leader to find the culprit for you! Turns out it wasn't an accident, you deserved it, you should die!" As if not satisfied with venting her anger, the uncle's wife kicked him.

The others watched silently. Thinking back to the noble white swan just now, and then looking at the maggot on the ground who dared to covet the white swan, they felt an unspeakable sense of satisfaction.

Of course, because of Qin Xiangyi's methods just now, and the Chosen One mark she deliberately revealed, everyone knew who the culprit was.

If the Qin Family were to be sought for revenge, they would certainly teach them a lesson. However, this uncle had a terrible reputation, infamous for his bad deeds. Women seeking revenge on him was already a common occurrence. The uncle's wife felt there was no need to pursue the matter, and it was dropped.

Qin Xiangyi had resolved the crisis, and also removed any reason for Xia Shang to continue targeting her.

However, Xia Shang was more persistent than expected. She still followed Qin Xiangyi out, calling out to the latter who was planning to make a run for it.

"That trick of yours is quite effective," Xia Shang praised Qin Xiangyi's method. Of course, this praise was only because Qin Xiangyi had coincidentally obtained some information and managed to escape by chance.

"But if there's a next time, the Baichi Sanatorium welcomes you," Xia Shang added, her praise tinged with a warning about the consequences of Qin Xiangyi's actions.

Qin Xiangyi turned her head and smiled at Xia Shang.

"Oh, so you're looking forward to meeting me then." Xia Shang was taken aback when she heard Qin Xiangyi's reply. She probably hadn't expected the suspect to flirt with her.

"Yes, I'm very much looking forward to cutting open your brain tissue and seeing the structure inside your head," Xia Shang continued to smile, but her words sent a chill down one's spine.

The punishment for Chosen Ones was divided into three types: the standard "love education," the second level of threat, the Baichi Sanatorium rehabilitation, and the third type, capital punishment by brain death.

Brain death was not only a death sentence; the brain would be extracted and become a specimen in the annals of criminal history, perhaps becoming part of a textbook someday.
