When the time comes, just let a Little Grass possess a servant, and I'll know everything about Zhang Mou's situation with Shuxuan. There won't be any problems with my plan to win over Muning.
With this idea settled, Xiangyi suddenly thought of something terrifying.
She had no memories of her past and hadn't returned home. How could she find out where her home was located? Even more frightening, she couldn't tell Shaoyao or Hua Nu that she didn't know.
The biggest problem of coming to this world had appeared. Xiangyi frowned, and then suddenly heard people around her whistling at her. She looked over and saw a few boys dressed in a questionable manner, seemingly very interested in her.
"Hey beautiful, want to hang out?"
Xiangyi remembered she wasn't wearing her glasses right now. She smiled slightly at them and said, "Sure, but before that, can you answer a question for me?"
The crowd rejoiced and crowded around her.
"Does anyone know where Prince Qin of the Qin Family lives? He's become a vegetable and I can't reach him, but he owes me ten million. I have to go find him with the IOU." Xiangyi began her serious nonsense, weaving a pitiable story.
Beautiful things always evoke a desire to protect, especially a great beauty like Xiangyi. Upon hearing her plan, the boys immediately started calling relatives and friends.
Shaoyao: Flower Master, are they reliable?
Xiangyi: I don't know, but these people are all dressed expensively. Their circles are limited, so if we ask around, we should be able to find out his whereabouts.
Xiangyi analyzed rationally, while continuing to act pitiful. She promised them that if they could find him, she would split the ten million, giving them two million. Even for rich kids, two million was a considerable sum. In just a moment, one of the boys found the address.
"I know the address!"
The boy's face was flushed, and he clutched his phone tightly. Xiangyi's lips curved into a seductive smile. Not only him, but the other boys were also mesmerized, as if they had never seen a woman before.
"Sister, you're like the fairy my grandma used to talk about..." The boy swallowed hard, feeling his body heat up, as if he had lost all control of his thoughts.
Xiangyi felt the flattery was a bit exaggerated, but she still smiled and said, "Maybe I am a fairy sent by heaven to save the galaxy."
The crowd wore subtle expressions. Xiangyi knew she had joked too much. She clapped her hands lightly, drawing their attention back to the topic. "Alright, handsome young man, can you show me the address?"
The boy nodded and carefully handed her his phone. Xiangyi reached out to take it, trying to avoid any physical contact, but their fingers still brushed slightly. The boy became even more excited, looking at his hand as if it were a rare treasure.
Xiangyi couldn't be bothered. She quickly memorized the address and then used her phone to search for its location. The place looked like where rich people lived, but its authenticity was yet to be verified.
"Thank you, handsome young man. How about we exchange contact information? Once I get my money, you won't be shortchanged." Xiangyi said with a smile, covering her mouth. The boy's face turned even redder. He waved his hands, "No, no need. My family is quite wealthy. If you don't mind, Sister, just treat me to a meal sometime."
Xiangyi readily agreed. She then saw the other boys looking at her with strange expressions, as if they were planning some trick. But Xiangyi had already gotten what she wanted, and she had given them a fake phone number, so there was no possibility of a second encounter.
"Alright, thank you everyone, I'm leaving now." Xiangyi thanked them again and quickly skated away on her skateboard.
The boys behind her hadn't recovered yet. Remembering the phone number Xiangyi had left, they started asking the boy to reveal Xiangyi's number.
"O-okay, fair competition... I'll read out the phone number now, you guys record it." The boy said smugly, then began to recite: "148148148148."
"Don't you guys think this number is a little strange?"
"Maybe this beautiful lady just likes the number four."
"Yeah, yeah, she wouldn't possibly give us a fake number to fool us, would she?"
Their conversation stopped abruptly. The big boys rushed to chase after her, but they could no longer find any trace of Xiangyi...

Chapter 76 [2] Come on, make trouble, we have plenty of time
Xiangyi hadn't actually gone far. After appreciating the scene, she put her glasses back on, pulled up her hood, and continued skateboarding towards the address.
Since it was daytime, Xiangyi didn't dare to be too conspicuous. She skated for about an hour before reaching the destination.
The address clearly indicated the villa's location, but the place was heavily guarded, with no apparent blind spots for Xiangyi to enter.
A Flower Person's maximum movement range, with the Flower God Ring as the center, was only fifty meters. If Xiangyi wanted to enter, she would either have to sneak in at night or enter openly.
Xiangyi considered it again and decided to loiter nearby and wait for darkness. Even though Xiangyi's identity would allow her to enter directly, her movements would become suspicious.
However, if she returned late, Shuxuan would become suspicious. But because it would be dark, Xiangyi could fly directly with her sword, so it wouldn't take too much time.
Having made up her mind, Xiangyi roamed the area, memorizing all the terrain in case anything changed.
Gradually, night fell. Xiangyi climbed over the wall and followed Hua Nu's instructions to a blind spot for the cameras. There were a lot of cameras on this route, and the terrain was complex. Each villa looked identical, as if the house numbers were deliberately made small to prevent identification. Even more terrifying, it seemed they didn't trust even their own homes, with most houses having several cameras, and some even having bodyguards.
Each yard was equipped with facilities, with swimming pools being common. Occasionally, one could see maids or butlers coming out. Their attractive appearances clearly suggested they were doing other unspeakable things besides being eye candy.
As night fell, Xiangyi soon heard strange noises from some of the houses. Shaoyao even asked what they were doing making such miserable sounds, which made Xiangyi quite embarrassed.
Hua Nu still looked amused, occasionally phasing through walls to observe. Although Shaoyao had become a bit smarter, she wasn't as good as Hua Nu at identifying cameras, causing them to stop and go along the way.
The only fortunate thing was that Shuxuan seemed to have something to do and would return late. She sent Xiangyi a hundred yuan red packet, telling her to deal with it herself at night, which gave Xiangyi much more time.
The current hardship made Xiangyi even more determined to find a place to live by herself as soon as she arrived in Heaven City. She would rather die than share a living space with others, to avoid more trouble.
Hua Nu: Flower Master, I see Zhang Mou.
After wandering for a long time, Hua Nu finally said something that made Xiangyi very happy. She was almost moved to tears, but quickly realized something was wrong.
Xiangyi: There are too many cameras here.
Xiangyi soon discovered that Zhang Mou's house had an alarming number of cameras, which made her feel helpless. It felt like an easy monster-grinding game had suddenly turned into Assassin's Creed.
Xiangyi's other skills hadn't been upgraded yet, and she really couldn't stand a place with so many cameras.
Hua Nu: It's okay, I've estimated the direction. As long as Flower Master follows my route, you can avoid all of them.
Hua Nu said confidently and truly began to lead the way. Her calculations were extremely accurate and powerful. If Hua Nu didn't give off an aura of being neither good nor evil, Xiangyi believed she would like her even more.
A moment later, Xiangyi followed the Hua Nu's instructions and arrived downstairs. Shaoyao, impatient, had already opened the third-floor window and confirmed the situation inside.
Shaoyao: Flower Master, there's no one on the third floor. You can come up.
Xiangyi let out an "oh" and slowed her breathing. Without relying on the wall for support, she easily jumped to the third floor. Entering through the window, Xiangyi wiped away any footprints she might have left, her movements flawless.
Several Little Grass were also brought along. Even if they were unlucky enough to encounter someone later, the Little Grass could possess someone at any time, reducing the chance of trouble.
Xiangyi ensured every step was foolproof. Thinking about Shuxuan not coming home until late tonight, she decided to familiarize herself with the Qin family's environment first.
There was a storage room, an equipment room, and even a large dance practice room, which broadened Xiangyi's understanding of what it meant to be rich. Strangely, at the end of the third floor was Prince Qin's room.
Inside were narcissistic photos of Prince Qin and various luxury items, but it was clear the room hadn't been lived in for a long time. At this time, Prince Qin was likely still in the hospital due to being in a vegetative state, receiving the treatment for it.
Although there were many messy things, nothing was worth Xiangyi's exploration.
Next, Xiangyi went downstairs, intending to find her own room. However, she first encountered a large room. The interior style was somewhat feminine. Seeing a photo, Xiangyi immediately remembered it was the background used when she video-called with Zhang Mou today.
On the wall were photos of Zhang Mou and her deceased father, Qin Tianzhu. Both people in the photos were smiling brightly, indicating they had a good relationship back then. She continued searching the room, noting the arrangement of everything. Then, inside the bedside cabinet, she found a pink object.
In that instant, feedback information flooded her mind, causing Xiangyi to slam the cabinet shut, feeling a peculiar sensation.
Shaoyao: Flower Master, what did you see? You're acting so suspiciously.
Shaoyao noticed Xiangyi's abnormality and couldn't help but show a disgusted expression. She squatted there, waiting for Xiangyi to open the cabinet again. Xiangyi felt even more awkward. She couldn't possibly say she had seen Zhang Mou's private affairs. If she did, given Shaoyao's current naive personality, she would likely pester Xiangyi to death with questions.
Xiangyi: Nothing, I just felt like I was only trying to scare her, and there was no need to look so carefully.
Saying this, Xiangyi stood up and explained her prepared plan.
Xiangyi: See that bedside lamp? Although it's a bit old, it hasn't been replaced. This means Zhang Mou really likes this bedside lamp and probably uses it often.
As she spoke, she pressed the switch. The bedside lamp turned on, but the light was brighter than she expected. Furthermore, some sleeping pills were placed nearby, indicating that Zhang Mou suffered from severe insomnia.
Zhang Mou's sleep quality was terrible. Looking at the quantity of medication, it seemed to have been ongoing for a long time. It was easy to imagine that after losing Prince Qin as her support, Zhang Mou's stress had increased significantly.

Chapter 77 [1]There's an excuse called selective XXX
Facing an insomniac and seemingly neurotic Zhang Mou, a simple scare would yield the desired result. Xiangyi felt that even the Flower People wouldn't need to act; just having a Little Grass possess someone would be enough to solve the entire problem.
Xiangyi's mood relaxed considerably. She returned the cabinets and other items to their original positions, ensuring she hadn't left any fingerprints, and then walked out the door.
Suddenly, she heard voices from outside. Xiangyi was startled and realized it was someone who looked like a butler.
"Little Grass, go!"
Instantly, Little Grass pounced and bit the butler's leg, quickly possessing him. The butler, who was on the phone, paused for a few seconds before calmly resuming his conversation. After a few more words, he quickly hung up.
"Do you know where Qin Xiangyi's room is?" Xiangyi asked the butler Little Grass, intending to end her exploration early.
Butler Little Grass nodded and then said, "Yes, but she lives in that small house next door, not inside the main building."
As he spoke, Butler Little Grass pointed to a small house outside. It stood alone, looking like a storage room that had been converted into living quarters.
Xiangyi looked a bit bewildered, but the Flower People were even more so.
Hua Nu: Flower Master, aren't you Qin Xiangyi? How do you not know where you live?
Shaoyao: Yes, you were strange before too, not even knowing your own home address.
Everyone seemed unable to comprehend that Xiangyi didn't know her own home. Xiangyi had already prepared her excuse and said, "I lost some memories when I was knocked unconscious before. It gives me a headache whenever I try to recall it. I think I must have hated this home so much that I didn't want any memories of it."
Xiangyi began to play the victim, then brought out the excuse of selective amnesia.
The Flower People listened, half-believing, half-doubting. However, they couldn't exactly pry open Xiangyi's head to check, so they had to accept her story for now. Xiangyi, seeing that she had successfully deceived them, was about to ask the butler for the key to Qin Xiangyi's room when she suddenly heard movement at the entrance.
Butler Little Grass was startled and quickly warned, "Madam is back! Flower Master, hide quickly! She really, really doesn't want to see you."
Xiangyi immediately nodded and then hid in the room the butler indicated. Butler Little Grass went to greet Zhang Mou. But unexpectedly, Zhang Mou wasn't the only one at the house today; there was another person.
Xiangyi thought it might be Zhang Mou's friend and curiously opened the door to peek downstairs. As she looked, she saw the back of a woman, but Shaoyao easily saw her face.
Shaoyao: Master, it's Shuxuan.
Xiangyi's confusion was resolved. She finally understood why someone like Shuxuan, who was so attached to home, would go out and not come home at night – she had been called out by Zhang Mou.
But the more this was the case, the more it proved that Zhang Mou was currently the only one who could get Shuxuan to come out. Thinking that everyone was here now, she decided to eavesdrop on their conversation to see if she could find any clues for future strategies.
"Last night really scared me to death, that Qin Bitch!" Zhang Mou gritted her teeth, recalling the incident last night when an older man had made unwanted advances.
Shuxuan's heart leaped into her throat. "Are you okay?"
Zhang Mou smiled. "Of course, I'm fine. I was saved by the young master and young lady of the main family, Qin An and Qin Ren." Zhang Mou sighed emotionally, further convinced that she couldn't act alone in the future. Previously, she had managed to wait until Prince Qin grew up. Although they were a lone woman and child, at least there was a male heir to provide some stability.
But soon, because Xiangyi had turned Prince Qin into a vegetative state, Zhang Mou's situation became even more precarious. Those men were eyeing her covetously, all wanting to treat Zhang Mou as their mistress.
One reason was Zhang Mou's beauty, and another was that she was a social butterfly, knowing many people and being very capable herself. To obtain Zhang Mou would be like gaining a beautiful wife who could manage the company and warm the bed. Because of this, Zhang Mou was highly sought after within the Qin family.
Most importantly, Zhang Mou was also the easiest person to bully in the Qin family.
Her status made everyone covet her.
Xiangyi listened to their conversation and finally understood Zhang Mou's predicament. Zhang Mou seemed to be wiping away tears, and Shuxuan remained silent with her.
Shuxuan's parents were from the same hometown as Zhang Mou. After Shuxuan's parents died, Zhang Mou owed Shuxuan a debt of gratitude and had also nurtured her. Xiangyi now realized that Zhang Mou was essentially Shuxuan's teacher, teaching her how to deal with men.
"Xiaoxuan, although it might not be appropriate for me to say this as your future mother-in-law, women should never rely too much on anyone, especially men. You never know when they might change. You must be independent, have your own ideas, and financial means. And don't believe sweet talk; it's all fake. In reality, sweet talk is worthless."
Zhang Mou reminded her again, but Qin Xiangyi felt there was more to her words than met the eye. She could tell, and Jing Shuxuan understood even better.
"Auntie, did you hear some strange rumors?"
"I just heard that Young Master Chen was having dinner with you." Zhang Mou didn't hide what she knew, but she didn't seem interested in talking about Prince Qin, clearly understanding her son's character was just like Qin Tianzhu's back in the day.
"We did have dinner together, but it was for business."
"That's good. I heard he seems to have taken a liking to your colleague. He even chatted with me about it last night." Zhang Mou explained how she knew, but since Young Master Chen had left quite early yesterday, she hadn't seen the part where Qin Xiangyi came out, thus perfectly missing the show.
Qin Xiangyi listened even more intently, worried that her visit to Jing Shuxuan's company yesterday might be exposed.
"Yes, but that child doesn't seem to have any feelings for Young Master Chen. If Auntie is here to be his matchmaker, I'm afraid I can't help." Jing Shuxuan refused decisively. Zhang Mou didn't get angry; she even held Jing Shuxuan's hand and patted it gently.
"This is my daughter-in-law. However, you can just say this to me. You must be tactful in front of others."
"I understand, Auntie."
"I'm training you as my successor because I know the Prince is unreliable. As for Qin Xiangyi, although she has the surname Qin, she doesn't have any Qin family bloodline," Zhang Mou continued to warn, startling Qin Xiangyi.
If she wasn't a Qin family child, how could she have been fostered by the Qin family?
Could it be that this world was once again fabricating some mysterious identity for her? Qin Xiangyi pondered in her heart, and Jing Shuxuan, as if following her thoughts, curiously pressed Zhang Mou for more information.
