Invincible From Harem Harvester

"So, what should I call you then?" Qin Xiangyi, having received an answer, thought about how she addressed Zhang Mou. If she kept calling her 'madam,' Zhang Mou would probably feel uncomfortable.

"Just call me madam." But reality slapped Qin Xiangyi in the face. She froze, finding it unbelievable.

"Heh, after all, it's something that can't see the light of day. Who would have thought an old woman would be involved with a beautiful young girl? If you call me madam, no one will suspect our relationship," Zhang Mou explained with a smile, simultaneously reminding her that her ambiguous relationship with Qin Xiangyi wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thing.

Chapter 83 [3] Who is seducing whom?

Perhaps Zhang Mou had wanted a lover for a long time but couldn't find a suitable one. Now, Qin Xiangyi clearly met her requirements.

She was straightforward, beautiful, and most importantly, Zhang Mou knew who had broken that Qin family uncle's hand. Even though Qin Xiangyi hadn't displayed her Chosen One talent at all, Zhang Mou had vaguely sensed some connection.

Because of this, these conditions made Zhang Mou even more proactive and enthusiastic. Of course, she also wanted to test if Qin Xiangyi was truly compatible with her.

"Then if I call you mom, won't that make it even less suspicious?" Qin Xiangyi thought of a counter-argument, and Zhang Mou laughed even harder, as if finding it amusing that this child would say anything.

"You could indeed say that, but it would remind me of the daughter my husband left behind, so you should still call me madam." Zhang Mou confessed her thoughts, showing her strong dislike for Qin Xiangyi, her aversion evident in her eyes.

Despite this, her other face—Hua Linglong—developed an incurable fondness for Qin Xiangyi the moment she took off her glasses. Qin Xiangyi found it incredibly ironic but still smiled and didn't offer any further opinions.

The two continued their conversation, naturally discussing the haunting incident.

"I'm really scared, but I live alone now, so I can only stay in a hotel," Zhang Mou recounted her fear, displaying her vulnerability with a hint of coquettishness in her tone, seemingly enjoying the chat with Qin Xiangyi.

Qin Xiangyi knew this was an opportunity. Her mind raced, and she thought of another trick.

"We've had similar incidents at our hotel, but they were resolved quickly."

"Really? How did you resolve it?"

"It's said to be a ghost called Shaoyao…" Just as Qin Xiangyi was about to spout nonsense seriously, Shaoyao, who was beside her, kicked her. Her gritting teeth looked surprisingly pleasing to the eye.

She paid no mind and shifted slightly before continuing, "This ghost called Shaoyao is extremely afraid of Chosen Ones. If you let a Chosen One stay at your place for a night, the supernatural phenomenon will disappear the next day. Even if it doesn't, you can ask that Chosen One for help."

Zhang Mou seemed tempted, immediately thinking of Qin Xiangyi, who had recently evolved into a Chosen One.

"But what if it doesn't work?"

Seeing Zhang Mou waver, Qin Xiangyi smiled and said, "But you have nothing to lose, right?"

Zhang Mou fell silent. Qin Xiangyi's words completely convinced her, and she felt it wouldn't be bad to temper Qin Xiangyi's sharp edges.

"It's a shame I have night shifts recently, otherwise I could help you with this. How about I come over and stay at your place in a few days?" Qin Xiangyi continued to suggest, also knowing that Zhang Mou disliked the presence of strangers.

"No… no need. My stepdaughter is a Chosen One, I can ask her for help. If that really doesn't work, I'll call you then." Zhang Mou immediately gave her answer. Qin Xiangyi suppressed the joy in her heart, knowing Zhang Mou had taken the bait.

Tomorrow, as long as Zhang Mou agreed, she could use the excuse of asking Zhou Muning for help to stay at Zhang's house. Since there were no internal cameras, she could do whatever she wanted, including obtaining the ultimate Flower People hidden on Zhou Muning.

"Xiao Hua, why are you smiling?" But Qin Xiangyi's smile was clearly not fully restrained. Zhang Mou looked at Qin Xiangyi's smile, very curious about the reason for it.

"No, I just think you're really wonderful, independent and strong." Qin Xiangyi replied with a smile, genuinely admiring Zhang Mou for this.

Zhang Mou pursed her lips, fiddling with her hair a bit self-consciously, her voice gradually lowering.

"Actually, I'm not as strong as I seem. I also need someone to cherish me." Her eyes held a certain fervor, clearly visible even through the video call.

Qin Xiangyi couldn't handle it and didn't know how to respond, only staring at Zhang Mou.

Zhang Mou seemed to sense she had been too flirtatious. She continued with a smile, "It's getting late, and you still have to work, right? Go to bed early, and we'll talk again tomorrow."

She controlled the pace of her interactions with Qin Xiangyi, wanting to keep Qin Xiangyi in her grasp. Qin Xiangyi had to admire Zhang Mou's skill and nodded with a smile, "Okay, you should go to bed early too."

With that, she proactively ended the video call, noticing two words, "Goodnight," appear on the screen.

Qin Xiangyi also stood up, changed out of her hotel clothes, put on her pajamas, and opened the curtains, pretending to walk towards Jing Shuxuan's room.

Upon looking, the room still had a small light on. But judging by the situation, Jing Shuxuan didn't seem to care about Qin Xiangyi's sneaking around at night. Qin Xiangyi looked at the Hua Nu still there and asked about the situation.

Qin Xiangyi: Did Jing Shuxuan not react at all just now?

Hua Nu: She did. She glanced at your departing back a few times, turned over, struggled to get up a few times, and then finally lay down. Oh, right, she also kept looking at the time and pretended to be asleep only after you came in.

Clearly, leaving the Hua Nu to watch Jing Shuxuan was the right decision. The Hua Nu recounted everything she knew, and Qin Xiangyi understood that Jing Shuxuan still cared about her, but out of politeness, she didn't disturb her.

However, it was a pity that Jing Shuxuan's defenses were a bit too high. Clearly, she wasn't as easily fooled as Qin Xiangyi's targets this time, Zhou Muning and Zhang Mou.

Qin Xiangyi sighed inwardly and realized she was a bit too eager. She tiptoed to bed, intending to rest her eyes for a while before secretly practicing in the Flower God Ring. However, Jing Shuxuan beside her suddenly spoke.

"Were you video calling Zhou Muning just now?"

Qin Xiangyi was taken aback. She felt this misunderstanding was a bit strange. But video calling Zhou Muning seemed more natural than video calling Zhang Mou, so she didn't deny it.

"Yes, Ningning couldn't sleep, so I chatted with her for a while."

"Oh."

Jing Shuxuan responded simply, still not turning her head, seemingly just asking as a guardian. Qin Xiangyi didn't think much of it and dimmed the bedside lamp. The Jing Shuxuan beside her suddenly turned her head.

"Sister Shuxuan, are you cold?" Qin Xiangyi's mind went blank, and this was the first thing she thought of. It was the hottest part of August, and the air conditioning was indeed on in the room. However, due to her cultivation, Qin Xiangyi wasn't very sensitive to heat or cold, but Jing Shuxuan, as an ordinary person, might be.

"A little."

"Then let me give you my blanket."

Saying that, Qin Xiangyi thoughtfully draped the air-conditioned blanket she was using over Jing Shuxuan, then continued to lie down.

The more collections and monthly passes, the faster the updates~

Jing Shuxuan was silent for a few seconds before she finally moved closer to Qin Xiangyi, pulling both layers of the air-conditioned blanket over Qin Xiangyi. She then said, "Let's share it. Two people won't feel as cold."

As Jing Shuxuan spoke, her fragrance wafted over, and a soft warmth seeped into Qin Xiangyi's senses. She felt a bit dazed, sensing a subtle shift in Jing Shuxuan's emotions.

But Qin Xiangyi thought she might be overthinking things. She closed her eyes, still feeling Jing Shuxuan's gaze on her.

That gaze held a complex mix of emotions. Qin Xiangyi asked the Flower People about it. Shaoyao couldn't describe the feeling, but after a few seconds of thought, the Hua Nu believed Jing Shuxuan was jealous of Zhou Muning.

Hua Nu: "Not only that, but what you said tonight about being close to Zhou Muning definitely provoked her. Flower Master, you need to be more proactive and get that first kiss already. A first kiss is a great tonic."

The Hua Nu began to egg Qin Xiangyi on, practically wishing she could jump in herself.

However, since Flower People couldn't create Flower People without a Flower Fairy, a Flower Master was still necessary as a medium. Therefore, she could only hope Qin Xiangyi would try harder and quickly add more companions for them, the Flower People.

Qin Xiangyi: "It's not like I want to, it's just that the conditions are a bit troublesome. Both parties have to agree. If I could just force a kiss, I'd create Flower Person 48 right now!"

The Hua Nu's tone carried more disdain as she continued, "You were so fierce back in the day."

Qin Xiangyi sighed, "When was 'back in the day' for me? Hua Nu, you might mistake me for someone else, but I am Qin Xiangyi, not the person you've constructed in your imagination."

Qin Xiangyi was a little displeased, and the Hua Nu fell silent, seemingly unwilling to offer any further replies.

Shaoyao had wanted to say something, but seeing the awkward atmosphere between them, she honestly stood in front of Jing Shuxuan, trying to understand human emotions.

Ten minutes...

Half an hour...

Just as Qin Xiangyi was thinking Jing Shuxuan must have fallen asleep in the silence, Jing Shuxuan seemed to move closer again. This time, their arms touched. Jing Shuxuan tilted her head slightly and asked, "Xiao Yi, are you asleep?"

Qin Xiangyi kept her eyes closed and didn't respond. She pretended to be asleep, wondering if something interesting might happen. For example, the classic stolen kiss scene from novels.

"Xiao Yi?"

Jing Shuxuan called out a few more times. Qin Xiangyi merely furrowed her brow slightly but still showed no intention of opening her eyes.

"She's really asleep... sigh..."

Jing Shuxuan sighed, as if feeling a sense of regret. Her gaze rested on Qin Xiangyi, then shifted to her lips, staring intently.

"Xiao Yi, there are too many bad people in this world, and your face is truly dangerous. Do you know that? Zhou Muning must have kissed you because she saw you like this," Jing Shuxuan began to speak her mind, her voice tinged with a hint of anger.

"No one in this world will be good to you for no reason, nor will they hate you for no reason," Jing Shuxuan continued, her voice very soft, as if speaking to herself or perhaps still lecturing Qin Xiangyi.

"But it will all be over soon. You're going to Heaven City, and you won't encounter Zhou Muning, the culprit who caused you so much trouble."

Jing Shuxuan sighed, her tone filled with reluctance.

"But... I'll miss you too."

Immediately after, Jing Shuxuan's voice trembled slightly. She even deliberately tried to draw Zhang Mou's attention, hoping to improve Zhang Mou's relationship with Qin Xiangyi. Unfortunately, this intention wasn't conveyed, and their relationship remained as strained as ever. Qin Xiangyi's departure to Heaven City was a done deal.

Qin Xiangyi remained silent, offering no response. Jing Shuxuan sighed, leaned closer to Qin Xiangyi, and gently kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight."

As she spoke, she wished Qin Xiangyi goodnight, just as Qin Xiangyi had wished her before. But at this moment, Jing Shuxuan also harbored a wicked thought. Or rather, if she thought about everything Zhou Muning did with Qin Xiangyi, why couldn't she?

She did feel a bit jealous, even angry. But the boundaries of these emotions were blurred, so Jing Shuxuan wasn't sure of her own state of mind. She just felt a sense of discomfort, as if she couldn't exhale, which led to the events that just transpired.

Seeing Qin Xiangyi completely defenseless now, her lips were even more accessible. If she wanted to, she could lightly press her lips against them. Jing Shuxuan's emotions wavered. She leaned in little by little, carefully tucking away a strand of Qin Xiangyi's hair.

Closer... closer...

Jing Shuxuan pressed her lips against Qin Xiangyi's, achieving her goal. It was a fleeting kiss, like a dragonfly touching water, and at the same time, a sound came from the System.

System: "Received the first kiss from Flower Fairy Jing Shuxuan, reward: 1000 Spiritual Power."

Because they separated so quickly, it didn't even meet the conditions for activating a flower seed. But this 1000 Spiritual Power was enough for Qin Xiangyi to perform ten draws on Flower God Huangquan.

Qin Xiangyi comforted herself like this, then felt Jing Shuxuan was somewhat startled by her own actions and quickly turned away, facing her back.

Shaoyao: "Flower Master, Jing Shuxuan's expression is very strange. She looks a little happy, but also very scared. Is she going crazy? Should I protect your safety?"

Shaoyao seemed unable to understand Jing Shuxuan's emotions. Qin Xiangyi felt helpless but couldn't explain the emotional complexities to Shaoyao, so she casually made up an excuse.

Qin Xiangyi: "You'll understand when you fall in love with someone someday."

Shaoyao: "Why would I fall in love with humans? Humans are so dirty."

Qin Xiangyi: "You can say that in front of me, a human. If you said it in front of other humans, they'd probably crush your petals with one punch each."

Qin Xiangyi gave a gentle reminder. Shaoyao was even more confused and went to ask the Hua Nu why. The Hua Nu didn't answer, which angered Shaoyao, and she went back to find Flower God Huangquan.

Qin Xiangyi's mind finally quieted down. She closed her eyes to rest again. Jing Shuxuan behind her gradually regained her composure and, after exhausting herself, fell asleep.

Seeing this, Qin Xiangyi asked the Hua Nu for some aromatherapy. After ensuring Jing Shuxuan was in a deep sleep, she re-entered the Flower God Ring and began practicing until dawn broke in the real world...

A new day began. Jing Shuxuan got up for work after her alarm rang.

Today, Jing Shuxuan's movements were even more cautious, fearing that waking Qin Xiangyi would lead to further awkwardness. Qin Xiangyi was already awake but waited for Jing Shuxuan to leave before starting her busy day.

She cleaned Jing Shuxuan's house and washed their clothes. She thought Zhang Mou would eagerly come to discuss "exorcism" with her, but it wasn't until almost noon that she received a WeChat message from Zhang Mou on a different phone.

Qin Xiangyi's lips couldn't help but curve slightly. She knew her chance had come again...

Chapter 85: [1] An Inflated Shaoyao

[WeChat] Zhang Mou: Let's meet. I have something to discuss with you.

[WeChat] Qin Xiangyi: Okay, where?

The conversation between the two remained simple and direct. They agreed to meet at a hot pot restaurant near Qin Xiangyi's home.

It was hard to imagine that a lady of status like Zhang Mou would choose a place so unsuited to her demeanor. Qin Xiangyi was surprised but readily agreed.

Since it was a weekday, there weren't many people at the hot pot restaurant. Qin Xiangyi entered to find plenty of empty seats. She sat down and patiently waited for Zhang Mou to arrive.

Their meeting was set for noon, but Qin Xiangyi had already spotted someone who looked like Zhang Mou at the coffee shop across the street. She seemed to have been there for a while, enjoying her coffee. If there was no mistake, Zhang Mou chose the hot pot restaurant because she thought Qin Xiangyi would like it. This gesture of appeasement indicated Zhang Mou's eagerness.

It wasn't until noon that Zhang Mou slowly emerged from the coffee shop. She then walked a few steps as if on cue before entering the hot pot restaurant and approaching Qin Xiangyi's table. The two maintained a certain distance, nodded at each other, and exchanged casual pleasantries.

Seeing that they were finally ready to order, the waiter eagerly approached. Zhang Mou glanced at the menu and handed it to Qin Xiangyi. Qin Xiangyi didn't hold back, ordering five portions each of beef and lamb rolls, and then asked the waiter for a plate of crispy pork.

Zhang Mou, who had initially wanted Qin Xiangyi to take the lead, frowned slightly before delicately ordering lettuce and crown daisy.

The hot pot was a split pot, with Qin Xiangyi eating the spicy side by herself. Zhang Mou continued to delicately eat her lettuce and crown daisy, seemingly unable to comprehend the behavior of a carnivore.
