“Then… are you leaving now? Did you leave anything at my place?” Watching the time go from nine to nine-thirty, Zhou Muning started to get anxious too.
She was worried Qin Xiangyi would miss the last bus, end up with nowhere to stay, and not make it home either.
“No, I didn’t bring much with me anyway.
It’s already nine-thirty, so I’ll just head to the station now.”
“I’ll walk you there.”
Zhou Muning finally gave in, planning to go with Qin Xiangyi to the station, but Qin Xiangyi grabbed her arm.
“What’s wrong?”
“You can’t go to the station.
If you do, I’ll just worry about you on the way.
Let me walk you home first, then I’ll go to the station by myself.” Qin Xiangyi reminded her.
The heroine always had this trait—something bad always happened when she was out and about.
Like getting mugged, kidnapped, or accidentally caught up in a fight.
And Qin Xiangyi just happened to be the kind of author who loved to torment her characters.
In the detailed outline, Zhou Muning had gone through countless disasters before finally opening up her heart.
Now, Qin Xiangyi was worried that changing the plot would cause a butterfly effect, and Zhou Muning would end up in danger halfway home.
“Uh…”
“See the wristband on my hand? I’ve already awakened as a Chosen One.” Qin Xiangyi cut her off, then took her hand and started walking her back to her place.
Only after seeing Zhou Muning safely to her door did Qin Xiangyi leave.
But as she went downstairs, she could still see Zhou Muning leaning on the window, watching her with worried eyes, as if even the title of Chosen One couldn’t ease her concern.
Qin Xiangyi smiled, feeling more and more that Zhou Muning was a good girl.
“Flower Master, where are we going next?” Shaoyao and Huanü came out of the Flower God Ring, standing on either side of Qin Xiangyi.
Even though she was used to the flower people’s sudden appearances, Qin Xiangyi still jumped a little.
In the end, she didn’t say anything, just pulled out her phone to look up the library’s location, planning to spend the night there in a special way.
After finding the library’s name, Qin Xiangyi set her route like a car navigation and started her mad dash through the streets.
Time flew by, and half an hour later, Qin Xiangyi arrived at the largest library in Ocean City.
The library was already closed.
Qin Xiangyi first went into the Flower God Ring and changed into black clothes, trying to make herself less noticeable.
Then she dodged the cameras and had Shaoyao, who could walk through walls, open a third-floor window.
“Remember, watch out for any red lights.
If you see one, just cover it with a book.” Qin Xiangyi was worried she couldn’t turn invisible and would get caught on camera, so she explained the details to Shaoyao.
Shaoyao seemed to only half understand.
Even if she was told about cameras, she probably wouldn’t know what they were, so she just followed instructions, found the camera on the wall, and covered it with a book.
After that, Shaoyao called for Huanü, who immediately let Qin Xiangyi know.
Qin Xiangyi nodded, put on the gloves she bought at the convenience store, and jumped up to the third floor, easily slipping in through the window.
The library was dim, but it didn’t bother Qin Xiangyi much.
During that month in the sanatorium, all her time had been spent improving her body—she hadn’t learned any new moves.
Now, seeing how easily Qin Xiangyi got in and how agile she was, Huanü looked shocked, like she couldn’t understand how Qin Xiangyi had suddenly improved without being taught anything.
But Qin Xiangyi didn’t plan to explain right now.
She looked around, checking all the corners for cameras.
Then she had Shaoyao memorize the location of every book.
Shaoyao seemed surprised that Qin Xiangyi knew about her good memory, but she nodded and spent half an hour memorizing all the books’ positions.
Qin Xiangyi: All right, now let’s take the books into the Flower God Ring.
Before the library opens at six tomorrow, we’ll put them all back.
Qin Xiangyi pointed at the clock, reminding everyone what they needed to do.
The third floor mostly had more specialized books, like history and culture, which were perfect for the flower people to learn about this world.
Huanü and Shaoyao nodded and started grabbing books like crazy.
As for Qin Xiangyi, she kept using books to block the cameras, so the surveillance wouldn’t catch anything weird.
Another half hour passed, and the third floor was completely emptied.
Qin Xiangyi put up some sheets of paper to cover the cameras, then followed Shaoyao and the Flower God into the Flower God Ring’s space.
Shaoyao and Huanü started devouring books, and Qin Xiangyi didn’t waste time either—she started practicing.
Even though she was basically illiterate in this world, she could still muddle through most things.
But strength was different.
If she didn’t work twice as hard, she might get killed before even leaving Ocean City…
Morning came as expected.
Before six, Qin Xiangyi led everyone out of the Flower God Ring.
Huanü and Shaoyao started putting the books back, while Qin Xiangyi checked the scene, wiping away any traces from the night before.
After finishing everything, Qin Xiangyi slipped out the window again, yawned, and went to a nearby place to buy breakfast, enjoying the sunshine.
It was her third day out of the sanatorium, but Qin Xiangyi felt like time was crawling.
Seeing Shaoyao eyeing the soup dumplings, Qin Xiangyi bought some more and tossed them into the Flower God Ring for Shaoyao to eat.
She kept wandering around, getting familiar with the library’s layout, and checking if anyone had noticed anything strange on the third floor.
She waited until eight, by which time a few people with laptops were already impatiently heading into the library.
Qin Xiangyi went in too, planning to buy some basic children’s books to teach Shaoyao and the others more things.
There weren’t many people in the morning, but everyone was working hard.
Qin Xiangyi glanced around and noticed someone seemed to be writing a novel.
Because of her profession, she felt a sense of kinship and wanted to get closer, but suddenly heard the system’s notification.
System: Flower Fairy detected—Xia Shang.
Qin Xiangyi got excited.
She never dreamed she’d run into another Flower Fairy at a time like this.
And this Flower Fairy could also create top-tier flower people.
She couldn’t help but look around, searching for the gentle, beautiful, intelligent, and elegant woman she’d written about.
She went from the first floor to the second, then wandered up to the third.
After just a few steps, she saw, as expected, that beautiful and charismatic woman.
