But unlike Shaoyao, who always followed Qin Xiangyi, she floated in the air, looking around curiously at this city that had already changed so much.
Because of the Flower God Ring, flower people couldn’t stray too far from Qin Xiangyi.
This was also the first time Shaoyao had seen the outside world.
She watched intently, full of hope and longing for this brand new world.
Qin Xiangyi shifted into a new position, leaning with one hand against the window, moving slowly, adding a bit of coolness to this hot summer day.
Jing Shuxuan finally hung up the phone, glancing at Qin Xiangyi out of the corner of her eye.
“Xiao Yi, looks like you’re doing pretty well.” Gone was the calm and capable tone from the phone call earlier.
Jing Shuxuan’s attitude was gentle, and you could tell from her voice that the two of them had a good relationship.
“It’s alright.”
“Was it scary in there?”
“Not really.”
“After all, you’ve done scarier things.” Jing Shuxuan suddenly said, her words full of meaning.
Qin Xiangyi adjusted her glasses and looked at Jing Shuxuan, who was driving.
“Do you really believe I’m the one who turned Qin Wangzi into a vegetable?”
“I don’t know, but I believe you.”
Jing Shuxuan tossed the ball back, and it was hard to tell if she was being sincere or not.
Qin Xiangyi didn’t continue the conversation, turning her gaze to the window, but she could feel Jing Shuxuan’s eyes on her.
“You seem quieter than before.”
“Isn’t that a good thing? It lets you focus on driving.” Qin Xiangyi smiled, noticing that Jing Shuxuan seemed a bit distracted, so she gave a symbolic reminder.
“Nonsense, my driving skills are great now.” Jing Shuxuan’s face flushed slightly as she replied, as if she remembered something, and didn’t ask any more questions.
Qin Xiangyi let out a sigh of relief.
She didn’t know what kind of personality she was supposed to have in this world, and she had no idea how to deal with people who knew Qin Xiangyi.
She had to start everything from scratch, get familiar with this world, and find a way to leave it.
But running into a smart woman like Jing Shuxuan right at the start was a lot of pressure for Qin Xiangyi.
Even though force could solve a lot of problems, it wasn’t a cure-all.
Qin Xiangyi had only written a rough outline: character settings, worldbuilding, and introductions for the forty-eight members of the harem and the main characters.
Honestly, she didn’t even know what this world would end up like in her imagination.
But one thing was certain: she’d made this world very dangerous.
As if to celebrate Qin Xiangyi’s release from the sanatorium, with a loud bang, someone fell from the sky and crashed onto the car in front of them.
The driver was killed instantly, but the man who fell just got off the car as if nothing had happened.
He glanced back at Qin Xiangyi and Jing Shuxuan, gave an embarrassed smile, then leapt away and quickly disappeared from sight.
“Another cultivator.” Jing Shuxuan frowned, unable to hide the disgust in her eyes at those three words.
“Shuan-jie, do you really hate cultivators that much?” Qin Xiangyi couldn’t help but ask.
“It’s not just cultivators, I hate ability users too.” Jing Shuxuan’s emotions seemed a bit intense, gripping the steering wheel tightly, as if she was trying to control her feelings.
Clearly, in the parts of the story Qin Xiangyi didn’t know, Jing Shuxuan had quite a bit of conflict with these Chosen Ones.
Cultivators referred to Eastern practitioners, mainly focused on immortality.
Even just a grandmaster could rule over Paradise Country.
Ability users referred to Western heroes, like those who got powers similar to Spider-Z Man or Super-R.
Besides cultivators and ability users, there were five other types of powered people, all called Chosen Ones.
But Qin Xiangyi hadn’t written that much detail yet, so she had no idea how this world would fill in the blanks.
Soon, a few police officers on motorcycles arrived, skillfully handling the accident scene and searching for the cultivator who had just killed someone.
This was also why, after Qin Xiangyi turned Qin Wangzi into a vegetable, no one questioned it.
They all thought Qin Xiangyi was a Chosen One and were afraid she’d go crazy and kill them all.
Chosen Ones were about one in ten million, very rare but extremely powerful.
Because of this, Paradise Country would never waste such a good resource.
If a Chosen One made a mistake, they’d be sent to Bai Chi Sanatorium for “love education,” not killed outright.
But when Qin Xiangyi was tested, she barely had any talent, and with the Qin family’s influence, she just went through the motions.
Qin Xiangyi hadn’t known any of this before; it was all Jing Shuxuan who told her.
“Shuan-jie, you sure know a lot for someone who doesn’t like them.” Qin Xiangyi felt like Jing Shuxuan was hiding something.
Actually, every person judged to be a Flower Fairy had a secret.
That secret drove the plot and social interactions.
As long as you found out the secret, you could win their heart.
Of course, Qin Xiangyi was a woman, so she didn’t need that.
All she needed were two kisses.
One to plant a flower seed, and one to summon a flower person.
Unfortunately, because of Qin Xiangyi’s twisted sense of humor, the kiss had to be consensual.
Forced kisses, kissing someone in their sleep, or during truth or dare didn’t count.
And each kiss had to last at least a minute.
If it was a top-tier flower person, it had to be at least three minutes.
Qin Xiangyi had definitely made things super hard for herself, and now she could only swallow her tears and think about how to get the plot going with Jing Shuxuan.
The best way was obviously a mutually beneficial deal, but Qin Xiangyi was too weak right now.
Jing Shuxuan’s problems were something she couldn’t solve at the moment.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiangyi decided to go activate the flower seed she’d planted on Zhou Muning.
But she didn’t know anything about Zhou Muning, her phone had been confiscated, and finding Zhou Muning was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Qin Xiangyi couldn’t help but look out the window, feeling like today’s wind was just too noisy, making her eyes hurt.
She took off her glasses, trying to rub her eyes to ease the discomfort, but realized she could see everything clearly.
Looking again, she saw that even though the glasses were thick, they didn’t have any prescription at all.
She’d thought it was because she’d activated the Flower God Ring, but now that she could see everything around her clearly, she realized Qin Xiangyi wasn’t nearsighted at all.
But for some reason, Qin Xiangyi had hidden her appearance.
“Shuan-jie, do you have a mirror in your car?” Qin Xiangyi asked curiously.
Jing Shuxuan turned her head, but when she saw Qin Xiangyi’s face, she slammed on the brakes.
Her body lurched forward from the inertia.
If Qin Xiangyi hadn’t been wearing a seatbelt, she was sure she’d be the first person to die in a car accident right after transmigrating.
