These four are the most deadly.
If Qin Xiangyi’s body hadn’t already changed, she probably would’ve been dead from that move Peony just pulled.
“Thank you for your guidance, Granny Hua.” Qin Xiangyi nodded slightly.
She understood what Hua Nu was trying to say.
But Peony was different from the other flower people— the stricter you were with her, the more she’d lose her loyalty and make even more mistakes.
So, when it came to dealing with Peony, she could only use a softer approach.
“Granny Hua? Well, I guess at my age, I really am a granny.” Hua Nu, who looked like a beauty in her thirties, was stunned for a moment, but then she smiled.
Her smile was charming, but there wasn’t a trace of warmth in her eyes.
Qin Xiangyi hadn’t set much about Hua Nu, but seeing that smile, she just felt a chill in her heart, instinctively thinking Hua Nu was a bit scary.
No matter what, she nodded slightly, then walked inside and closed the door to the small house.
Peony was waiting anxiously on the other side.
As soon as she saw Qin Xiangyi, the nervousness on her face became even more obvious.
She stared at Qin Xiangyi, then bit her lip and started taking off her red robe.
Qin Xiangyi didn’t even look at her.
She just checked out the inside of the small house, then picked up the flint nearby and fiddled with it, lighting an oil lamp.
In an instant, a faint blue light glowed from the lamp, spreading through the whole room and forming something like a protective barrier.
Since this was a wrestling story, there always needed to be a quiet, undisturbed place to really get physical, so she’d set up this little wooden house that could block out all sound and attacks.
Once the lamp was lit, even if a god tried to attack the little house, it wouldn’t make a dent.
“Flower Master, how do you know how to use this lamp?” Seeing Qin Xiangyi’s move, Peony was startled, forgetting to cover up her skin.
“Hua Nu taught me, of course.”
Peony pursed her lips, a flash of displeasure in her eyes—clearly, she wasn’t happy about Hua Nu’s scolding.
Qin Xiangyi smiled and beckoned Peony over.
Peony had no choice but to come over, but she didn’t sit down.
She just stood behind Qin Xiangyi like a real servant.
“Do you hate Hua Nu?” Peony immediately replied, “No,” but her expression and tone already told Qin Xiangyi the real answer.
“They say every flower person was once pitiful, and because their resentment was too strong, they couldn’t reincarnate and became flower people.
Peony, you have your own sadness, and Hua Nu has her own misfortune.
If you don’t like each other, just keep your distance.”
Qin Xiangyi started reciting the lore again.
Honestly, she didn’t even know how she’d come up with flower people and the Flower God Ring back then—it was like all these things just naturally appeared in her mind.
In this world, Qin Xiangyi often had a new suspicion.
It wasn’t that she created this world, but that it really existed, and she just happened to open the door to it somehow.
The names and details she wrote down weren’t made up in her head, but real things she just happened to record.
If everything in the lore was true, then Peony, as a flower person, could only be indulged, not restrained.
When Qin Xiangyi lectured her like this, Peony’s eyes actually lit up a little, as if her opinion of Qin Xiangyi had changed.
“You’re right, Flower Master.” As she spoke, her body naturally leaned closer and she continued, “So, does that mean I’m off the hook for punishment?”
Qin Xiangyi laughed.
“Not a chance.”
Peony’s smile collapsed, and she flopped onto the ground like she was about to die.
Qin Xiangyi watched her with interest, then said, “I’m really not into you like that.
Since you hurt me earlier, your punishment is to give me a massage until I feel better.”
The moment Peony realized she didn’t have to sleep with her, she jumped up and started massaging Qin Xiangyi enthusiastically.
The waves of floral scent made Qin Xiangyi feel a lot more comfortable.
This time, Peony was really serious about the massage, even smiling a little.
Qin Xiangyi found it odd and asked, “Peony, what are you smiling about?” Peony said, “Flower Master, you’re nothing like any of my previous masters.”
Qin Xiangyi laughed.
“Of course I’m not.
Otherwise, how would I have become your master?”
Peony shook her head.
“No, at first I really hated you.
You kept kissing me, just like my old master, always lusting after my body.”
Peony seemed to fall into a bad memory, her eyes growing darker.
But this was the first time Qin Xiangyi had heard Peony tell her story, so she asked curiously, “Oh? So what did you do in the end?” Peony recalled the past, a faint smile on her lips.
“I pretended to obey, then killed him.”
Qin Xiangyi wasn’t surprised.
Flower people were criminals by nature, and according to the lore, she’d probably killed more than one person.
“Oh, so after that, did you run into more people and end up killing even more?”
Peony shook her head.
“No, after I killed my master, I ran away and went to my friend for help.
She betrayed me.
When I saw the whole Assassin’s Tower surrounding me, I went all out and killed my friend first.
See this outfit? It’s actually stained with blood.” Peony said this with a smile, but Qin Xiangyi felt a chill down her spine.
Writing novels was one thing, but if this was real, it was terrifying.
It made Qin Xiangyi even more certain she needed to get stronger, or one day Peony might just slice her up like vegetables.
“Flower Master, do you think I did the right thing? Hey, Flower Master, why are you getting up?” But after she finished, Peony looked really lost.
Then she looked down and saw Qin Xiangyi was already standing.
Caught, Qin Xiangyi felt a little awkward, but still said, “It’s a bit hot, I’m taking off a layer.”
Peony nodded, watching Qin Xiangyi’s nervous, stiff reaction and started laughing.
“Flower Master, are you scared?”
“Of course not.
I’m not going to do anything bad to you, and I trust you won’t really want to kill me.
Otherwise, back in the real world, I’d probably have a few broken ribs by now.” Qin Xiangyi tried to joke her way out of it, but Peony seemed to remember something and reached out to help Qin Xiangyi take off the rest of her clothes.
“What are you doing?” Qin Xiangyi almost screamed, feeling like her life was in danger.
But Peony just looked confused and said, “Flower Master, you know so much about us flower people, but don’t you know why I’m called Peony?” As she spoke, she lifted the last piece of clothing on Qin Xiangyi’s back and kissed her on the back.
In that instant, a cool sensation seeped into her body, and Qin Xiangyi felt all her pores relax, almost moaning out loud.
System prompt: SR Flower Person Peony profile updated.
New special skill: Can instantly heal internal and external injuries, but must do so through a kiss.
Qin Xiangyi’s expression was full of disbelief.
She never thought she’d discover Peony’s hidden skill like this.
Peony looked a little embarrassed and said softly, “Flower Master, this is my apology.
But you have to understand, this kiss doesn’t mean anything.
Don’t get the wrong idea that I have feelings for you.”
