Is there anything a kiss can’t fix?
Qin Xiangyi nodded, reaching for her back and realizing the pain was completely gone, as if that mysterious power had just healed her whole body.
She used to think Shaoyao was pretty average compared to the other flower people, but now that this hidden skill had shown up, Shaoyao’s debut as the first flower person felt overwhelmingly powerful.
Even though it overlapped a bit with the flower slave’s healing technique, the threshold was much lower, making it suitable for frequent use.
Besides, who knows if that flower slave has any weird healing fetishes.
Just thinking about the strange looks the flower slave sometimes gave her made Qin Xiangyi’s skin crawl.
“Flower Master, are you okay? This is my first time using this ability.” Seeing Qin Xiangyi’s uncomfortable expression, Shaoyao thought her skill hadn’t healed Qin Xiangyi, and maybe even made things worse.
“No, it’s just… it’s amazing.
I feel like I underestimated you before.” Qin Xiangyi quickly replied.
Shaoyao pretended to be upset, but her face just got even redder.
Qin Xiangyi was always the one kissing her, but this was the first time Shaoyao had taken the initiative.
It meant something totally different to her.
If it weren’t for the special circumstances, Shaoyao was sure she’d never let this shameless human take advantage of her.
“So… can you forgive me now?” The more Shaoyao thought about it, the more anxious she got, her body trembling.
She tried to back away from Qin Xiangyi to keep a safe distance, but the more she tried, the weaker she suddenly felt.
In an instant, all her strength seemed to drain away, and she fell backward.
Shaoyao squeezed her eyes shut in despair, but soon felt a force grab her waist.
When she opened her eyes again, Qin Xiangyi was holding her tightly, but had ended up sitting on the ground in a mess.
They say people don’t cherish flower people, treating them as nothing more than beautiful playthings, just for nightly pleasure.
But maybe because she was a woman, Qin Xiangyi seemed different from the flower people Shaoyao knew.
She stared at Qin Xiangyi, who nervously asked, “Are you okay? Why did you suddenly go limp?”
Shaoyao finally realized and gave a bitter smile.
“Maybe it’s because I just woke up and I’m still unstable.
This ability really drains my spiritual power.”
Qin Xiangyi suddenly understood.
She reached out to touch Shaoyao and could feel her spiritual energy had dropped a lot, clearly the price of healing her.
As useful as this ability was, it obviously had some limitations.
“If I’d known it would use up your spiritual power, I never would’ve let you heal me.” The more Qin Xiangyi thought about it, the more her heart ached.
She only absorbed a limited amount of spiritual energy from the world each day, and now this spendthrift flower person had blown a thousand spiritual power in one go.
That thousand was what Qin Xiangyi could only get after meditating for ten days—her hard-earned sweat and tears.
“Sorry… but I don’t need your pity.” Shaoyao’s heart wavered a little, feeling a bit of warmth.
Too bad Qin Xiangyi just wanted to cry even more.
“Who said I pity you? I’m upset about my spiritual power! This place is already low on spiritual energy, and you just waste it.
Wouldn’t it be better for you to just stay in the Flower God Ring for a few days?”
The moment she said that, Shaoyao got mad and tried to push Qin Xiangyi away again.
But this time, Qin Xiangyi was ready and wouldn’t let Shaoyao get the upper hand.
She moved in and pinned Shaoyao down.
Shaoyao was shocked to find Qin Xiangyi using Assassin Tower moves.
“You… how do you know…”
“I watched you do it so many times, I picked it up… Now I’m going to give you spiritual power, so don’t struggle, and don’t hit me… or I’ll strip all your petals off and turn you into a grass—person!” Qin Xiangyi threatened, but was still worried Shaoyao might lash out again, so she pinned her hands down.
If you could call it a kiss, it was more like a forced kiss.
Shaoyao didn’t dare resist and just closed her eyes to accept her punishment.
But the discomfort she expected never came.
Qin Xiangyi just gave her a quick peck and started channeling spiritual power.
Shaoyao could feel her lost strength returning, her body back to normal.
She opened her eyes in surprise and saw Qin Xiangyi with her eyes closed, focused, so she didn’t dare move and just let Qin Xiangyi keep going.
This was the longest they’d ever kissed, but something in Shaoyao’s heart seemed to change.
Suddenly, she felt like Qin Xiangyi wasn’t so bad after all—at least, she wasn’t really interested in her that way.
Shaoyao started to relax, but just then, Qin Xiangyi suddenly attacked.
“Mm…” Shaoyao was startled and instinctively tried to fight back, but Qin Xiangyi had her completely under control.
The moves and skills were exactly like the Assassin Tower techniques in her memory, but she was sure she’d never used them in front of Qin Xiangyi, so the person in front of her…
Just as Shaoyao was spacing out, Qin Xiangyi sent in her killer move—the tongue.
Shaoyao struggled hard, but her body went weak again.
She suddenly turned into a wild beast, showing explosive strength.
Her movements and gaze made it seem like she wasn’t looking at a flower person, but her prey.
Shaoyao was scared by this intensity, but she didn’t know that, from another perspective, Qin Xiangyi was fighting with the system.
System: Passive skill Photographic Memory (SSR) detected.
System: Photographic Memory copying in progress 1%.
System: Photographic Memory copying in progress 5%.
…
But the copying speed was so slow that Qin Xiangyi had to keep Shaoyao under control to stop her from pushing her away and ruining the copy.
At the same time, Qin Xiangyi cursed herself for making the kiss-copying skill so complicated.
She could already imagine Shaoyao going nuts after the kiss, maybe even ignoring her for a while.
But even so, Photographic Memory was just too important for Qin Xiangyi.
Once she got it, she could become a walking library and never have to worry about being found out for not fitting in with this world.
Finally, after almost two minutes of kissing, that wonderful voice sounded.
System: Photographic Memory copy successful.
Congratulations, user, you’ve obtained your first SSR card.
System: Awarding player 1000 spirit stones.
Qin Xiangyi was a little confused by the system’s reward.
This time, it wasn’t spiritual power, but something called spirit stones.
But that wasn’t the point.
Qin Xiangyi looked nervously at Shaoyao, worried she might get killed for what she’d just done.
But ever since they broke apart, Shaoyao had been way too calm.
She deliberately put on a stern face and said, “Done kissing yet?”
