As she spoke, Qin Xiangyi softened her words, revealing that her current state was quite dire.
Zhang Mou laughed heartily upon hearing this, then continued, "Isn't this exactly why I invited you? If your heart doesn't race, wouldn't that be embarrassing for me?"
Zhang Mou's hands continued their pressure. Seeing Qin Xiangyi tense up as she spoke, she lowered her voice and said in that familiar tone, "Relax, just give yourself to me."
Qin Xiangyi's scalp tingled. She felt herself being led, and more importantly, she finally understood why following Mu Ning's kisses had led to so many problems before.
She was a woman, yet she didn't seem to understand women very well.
Zhang Mou, also a woman, understood perfectly what a woman needed.
This difference left Qin Xiangyi feeling passive. She called out to the Flower People again, hoping they would cause chaos if things got out of hand.

Chapter 112 [13] This Tool Person is a Bit Flirtatious
Qin Xiangyi: Hua Nu, Shaoyao, if I can't hold on later, start causing trouble and chaos!
Hua Nu: Isn't this good enough?
Shaoyao: Isn't this good enough?
Hua Nu's voice was tinged with uncontrollable laughter, while Shaoyao's voice was filled with anger. Although the Flower People weren't inherently programmed to just repeat things, judging by their tone, neither of them seemed inclined to intervene.
Qin Xiangyi could only call upon Oleander, but she quickly realized that Oleander's level was higher than hers, making it impossible to summon her directly. Oleander would only appear if she willed it.
Oleander: Flower Master, subordinates cannot interfere in such matters. You must fend for yourself.
Oleander delivered her answer in that stern tone, clearly unwilling to participate in Qin Xiangyi's plan.
Qin Xiangyi didn't even bother calling Huangquan; everyone knew how indifferent that Flower God was. Qin Xiangyi cursed inwardly, but her mind calmed down, and she thought of the being at the very bottom of the Flower God Ring, the only one she could bully – Little Grass.
Qin Xiangyi: Little Grass, contact the butler and have him find a way to stop things from escalating.
Little Grass: Why me again?
Qin Xiangyi: Hmm? Or, today...
The soft-hearted Little Grass burst into tears. Dozens of voices appeared simultaneously, her mind a chaotic mess. Qin Xiangyi frowned slightly and quickly used her consciousness to block out everything from the Flower God Ring, yet she still felt those voices swirling in her head.
When Zhang Mou returned with the wine, she saw Qin Xiangyi covering her head.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I've just been too tired lately."
Qin Xiangyi forced a smile. Zhang Mou still seemed a little worried and confirmed Qin Xiangyi's condition again before finally relaxing.
"It's good that you're okay. I was really afraid you'd run off halfway through," Zhang Mou joked, but the smile in her eyes was clearly serious. Qin Xiangyi offered another strained smile, suddenly feeling her situation was quite precarious.
"I won't... Since I'm here, why would I run away?" And now, following the atmosphere, Zhang Mou sat down next to her, tilted her head, and looked at her with even more tenderness in her eyes.
That kind of tenderness could create the illusion of drowning. Qin Xiangyi was captivated, and then felt Zhang Mou's lips press against hers.
"Kissed again? How did that feel?"
Qin Xiangyi's heart skipped a beat, but the moment was too brief. She could only express her true feelings.
"I didn't feel anything."
"Heh, it seems we need to make it last longer."
As she spoke, Zhang Mou kissed her again. Qin Xiangyi instinctively embraced her, thinking she could finally complete the flower seed activation ritual with a minute-long kiss. But this time, it ended after only a dozen seconds.
"And this time?"
Zhang Mou seemed to be following her routine, her voice, expression, and actions all merging into one, leaving only seduction to describe it.
"Still nothing," Qin Xiangyi said, feeling a bit exasperated. She grabbed Zhang Mou, eager to get that minute-long kiss. Zhang Mou smiled and struggled, holding Qin Xiangyi tightly, whispering in her ear.
"Carry me to the bedroom."
This was a signal, but for Qin Xiangyi, it was a death knell. However, if she didn't comply, Zhang Mou seemed unwilling to continue. She hesitated, then silently repeated the word 'tool person' to herself, trying to uphold her bottom line as the Flower Master.
"Okay." Though she thought it, Qin Xiangyi's mind had already agreed. She quickly carried Zhang Mou upstairs, simultaneously urging Little Grass to hurry.
Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Qin Xiangyi was a bit bewildered. They hadn't even kissed yet, and the person who shouldn't be here had arrived.
The butler, Little Grass, who had been communicating in her mind, came online, panting, and joined the conversation.
Little Grass: Flower Master, I've made him run over.
Qin Xiangyi: Couldn't you have taken a few more minutes!
Qin Xiangyi roared inwardly, suddenly remembering Little Grass's low intelligence. Even after possessing someone, Little Grass was still Little Grass; being possessed only increased the possessed person's loyalty.
Little Grass: Sniffle Sniffle, but you just said I was too slow.
Little Grass began to cry pitifully, leaving Qin Xiangyi speechless. At the same time, Zhang Mou in her arms reacted.
"Put me down first. It seems someone has arrived." Zhang Mou struggled, trying to get out of Qin Xiangyi's embrace, worried about the identity and intentions of this newcomer.
"No," Qin Xiangyi refused immediately. She wanted to capture Zhang Mou's lips and end this performance quickly. But Zhang Mou blocked her approaching lips with her hand and said helplessly, "Be good, perhaps it's an important guest."
With that, Zhang Mou's movements became more pronounced, and Qin Xiangyi could only watch helplessly as Zhang Mou slipped away from her.
Although Zhang Mou was easy to fool, her cooperation clearly wasn't very good. Xiangyi had no choice but to go downstairs. But as she looked down, she saw the butler, Little Grass, holding her waist as she walked in, looking extremely disheveled.
He was still wearing his pajamas, and it seemed Little Grass had also tired him out quite a bit.
Zhang Mou was surprised and subconsciously adjusted her clothes. "Uncle, why are you here?"
Butler Little Grass's eyes flickered towards Xiangyi. "I suddenly remembered I left something behind, so I came to look for it. Madam, I hope I'm not disturbing you."
Zhang Mou noticed the glance and assumed the butler was curious about Xiangyi's identity, so she casually made up a story. "No, this is Xiangyi's friend, she's here to visit."
It was an excuse even a blind person could see through, but Butler Little Grass didn't call her out on it. He continued to move forward, holding his waist, and then wandered around the entire house. Zhang Mou was also very helpless. Seeing Xiangyi's unhappy expression, she took her hand and apologized.
"Don't rush, the night is still long."
She seemed to be comforting Xiangyi, and also calming her own emotions. The hand she touched was a little warm, but Zhang Mou felt that when Xiangyi exploded later, the feeling would probably be even better.
Xiangyi nodded and continued to urge Little Grass in her mind to quickly make the butler leave.
Little Grass, who had been crying, could only wipe away tears and continue talking with Butler Little Grass. But Butler Little Grass seemed to have genuinely forgotten something. When he left again, he took a box that looked like a mahjong box.
Xiangyi was astonished, but seeing the door close, Zhang Mou had already locked it from the inside and turned off her phone, intending to get straight to business.
This time, she directly jumped onto Xiangyi. Xiangyi lost her footing and felt Zhang Mou's frenzy.
System: Flower seed activation in progress...
System: Countdown 50 seconds...
Just as the system was counting down, the door suddenly knocked again. Xiangyi was going crazy. She intended to pin Zhang Mou down and kiss her, but the system gave a new prompt.
System: Flower Fairy appears, rejection reaction, countdown reset, please host restart your performance.

Chapter 113 [14] Look how anxious you are, I'm not going anywhere.
Xiangyi felt like she was losing her mind, but Zhang Mou had already pushed her away and said, "Look how anxious you are, I'm not going anywhere."
After speaking, Zhang Mou patted Xiangyi's head and stood up, also saying with a bit of dissatisfaction, "But Uncle really is something, why did he forget to bring something again?"
As she spoke, Zhang Mou intended to open the locked door. She expected to see the butler again, but instead, she saw a very unexpected person.
"Hello, Mrs. Zhang."
It was a woman's voice, very soft, and just hearing it gave one the illusion of calming their mood. But Xiangyi heard it and felt a chill run down her spine. She instinctively looked towards the door and, as expected, saw Xia Shang again.
"Oh, Professor Xia, why are you here?" Zhang Mou was not only surprised but also realized her disheveled state. She quickly tidied her collar again, forcing a somewhat strained smile.
"I just met your butler, and she told me you were here today, so I came over," Xia Shang said with a slight smile, stating her purpose. Her gaze naturally shifted from Zhang Mou to Xiangyi, who was not far away.
Although there was no evidence, Xiangyi felt that Xia Shang had come for her.
"Look at my memory, the ghost incident a few days ago has been resolved." Zhang Mou was stunned at first, then quickly remembered that because she was worried about Xiangyi, she had still mentioned the ghost issue to Xia Shang.
Xia Shang had replied that she would come to take a look when she had time, but Zhang Mou hadn't expected that this "free time" would coincide with her date.
Zhang Mou was a bit flustered. Xia Shang had already proactively said, "Yes, I shouldn't be disturbing you so late, but I'm returning to Heaven City tomorrow, so I wanted to see if I could help with anything."
Zhang Mou hesitated even more. Xia Shang's words left her with no reason to refuse. After thinking for a moment, she looked back at Xiangyi and gave her an apologetic look.
Xiangyi returned a smile, but her heart was still a little uneasy. She even suspected that Xia Shang had used some special method to find her existence, which was why she had arrived at Zhang Mou's house so quickly.
However, it was also possible that it was a coincidence. Xiangyi decided to remain calm and observe the situation.
Just as Xiangyi was about to observe secretly, she suddenly heard a voice in her mind.
Oleander: She's very strong.
Xiangyi was startled. She saw Oleander, who was only palm-sized, appear. Her expression was eager, as if she wanted to compete with Xia Shang.
Peony: Being strong is useless, you can't hit her right now.
Looking again, Peony appeared with Hua Nu. It seemed Xia Shang's unexpected appearance had made all the Flower People vigilant.
Xiangyi: Wait! You guys don't think Zhang Mou is too weak and I can handle it alone, so you all disappeared earlier, right?
Hua Nu: Flower Master thinks too much. We're happy to have more Flower People, so how could we dislike them?
Hua Nu smoothly changed the subject, but from Peony's obvious reaction, it was indeed because the Flower People activated by Zhang Mou might be very poor, leading to the Flower People's unenthusiastic attitude.
Xiangyi was speechless, but the real-world situation didn't allow her to continue chatting with the Flower People. Xia Shang had already walked towards her and asked about Xiangyi's identity.
"This is..."
"This is Xiangyi's friend, Professor Xia can call her Little Flower."
After introducing Xiangyi, Zhang Mou then introduced Xia Shang to Xiangyi.
"Little Flower, this is Xia Shang, a psychology professor at Heaven University, and also a specially appointed consultant for the Chosen One Alliance."
"Hello."
"Hello."
Both of them had certainly met before, but neither mentioned that they had not only met but had also fought in a hotel. After Zhang Mou's introduction, they smiled at each other, without much further interaction.
After the pleasantries, Xia Shang showed no intention of leaving and said, "It seems Mrs. Zhang is entertaining a guest, so without further ado, let's proceed with the test quickly."
Zhang Mou still seemed a bit hesitant, but considering Xia Shang's special nature, she tugged on Xiangyi's hand, conveying her apology with her eyes.
Xiangyi didn't respond. Xia Shang's sudden appearance put her on high alert. Moreover, Xia Shang was a highly intelligent character, and if she wasn't careful, the traces she'd left behind while trying to scare Zhang Mou might be discovered.
Hua Nu: Flower Master, the visitor is not friendly.
Xiangyi: I know. I'll handle it carefully.
Xiangyi replied and decided to wait and see. No matter how dire the situation, she didn't believe Xia Shang could find any concrete evidence.
"This is the place. We were sitting in the living room then..." Zhang Mou began recounting the events of the haunting. Xia Shang recorded it with a voice recorder and then opened the laptop she carried with her.
The laptop had a metallic sheen, and a red bar appeared the moment it was opened.
"Please turn off the lights."
Zhang Mou complied, and the room darkened, leaving only the red light from the laptop. Next, Xia Shang plugged the voice recorder into the laptop. The sound waves appeared, automatically identifying the content, and a 3D projection materialized in the dark air.
The image showed a trajectory of movement. It wasn't just Zhang Mou; Xiangyi was also startled by this high-tech gadget. Xia Shang seemed used to it and said, "This is a recording device invented by a friend of mine. It was originally designed for athletes to record their matches and analyze their performance."
Xia Shang first explained the purpose of the device and then stood up and walked towards the 3D diagram.
"Alright, now we'll start constructing the trajectory of movement. Mrs. Zhang, you said the cup flew from this direction, and the knife appeared from somewhere else." The 3D diagram covered the entire room. Xia Shang wore something like headphones and spoke as objects flew out.
Two flying objects appeared in the image. Mrs. Zhang looked at them and nodded in confirmation, then asked with some confusion.
"But, was this really done by a person?"
"Yes. Although very few people possess invisibility abilities, there are various similar powers. Something similar happened in the library before. I investigated and found a very interesting scent left behind." Xia Shang's analytical skills were superb, and her explanations were clear and logical. The more composed she was, the more Xiangyi's heart pounded.
