A so-called Flower Immortal is a human who, aside from the Flower God, can plant flower seeds.
But unlike the Flower God, Flower Immortals have a 100% success rate at planting, though they only get one chance in their lifetime to plant a flower seed.
Most importantly, the flower people they grow, whether their active or passive skills, are extremely rare.
After staying at Baichi Sanatorium for so long, this was the first time Qin Xiangyi heard the system’s notification about discovering a Flower Immortal.
She started searching frantically around her and finally spotted a beautiful woman wearing glasses in the distance.
Name: Feng Yourou.
Age: 26.
Occupation: Teacher.
Constitution: Flower Immortal (can plant flower seeds)
First kiss: None.
…Next came even more detailed information, but Qin Xiangyi didn’t bother to check it and instead started observing the woman named Feng Yourou in front of her.
“Peony, look, a Flower Immortal just showed up.
If I plant a new flower person, you won’t have to worry about me clinging to you all the time.”
Qin Xiangyi was talking to Peony in her mind.
Right now, because she’d been pestering Peony so much, Peony’s affection had gone from -10 to 50.
The two of them were basically friends now.
Hearing Qin Xiangyi’s joke, Peony snorted in annoyance.
“Fickle as always.
Who knows what you’ll end up planting.” She sounded a bit disgruntled.
Qin Xiangyi just smiled and replied in a relaxed tone, “Then let’s make a bet, Peony.
I bet this woman, Feng Yourou, will grow a Gardenia.”
Peony sounded even more annoyed.
“Gardenia? I have a connection with her.
If you could really plant her, there’s no way I wouldn’t sense it.”
Seeing Peony take the bait, Qin Xiangyi felt like the [Photographic Memory] skill was waving at her.
“Then let’s bet on it.”
Peony asked nervously, “What are we betting?” “If I lose, I won’t force you to absorb spiritual energy from me every day.”
Peony seemed tempted, but still asked, “And if you win?” Qin Xiangyi pretended to think, then answered cheerfully, “Then you have to accept my spiritual power every day, until I say otherwise.”
Hearing Qin Xiangyi’s terms, Peony made a weird face, but still asked in a nervous tone, “Flower Master, can I ask you something? Don’t get mad.”
“Go ahead.” Qin Xiangyi’s expression was calm, so Peony finally asked her question carefully.
“Do you like women?”
Qin Xiangyi was a bit speechless, but she couldn’t tell anyone about her skill-absorbing cheat, so she just brushed it off.
“If I liked women, do you think I’d like you?”
“What do you mean?” Peony was confused.
“If I liked women, I’d only like Huang Quan… Wait, I just remembered everyone can see outside… Huang Quan, don’t take it seriously, I’m just teasing this silly girl Peony.”
Qin Xiangyi was both amused and exasperated, but Peony just stared at her with an increasingly strange look, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
System: Flower Immortal Feng Yourou has left the Flower Master’s range.
System: One hundred meters…
System: One hundred eighty meters…
Qin Xiangyi calmed down and quickly caught up to Feng Yourou.
Secretly, she had Peony cut open her purse and took out Feng Yourou’s notebook where she recorded her biggest secrets, writing down her own contact info and a line of text.
She was sure Feng Yourou would respond… Unfortunately, by the last week of August, just as Qin Xiangyi was about to leave Baichi Sanatorium, Feng Yourou still hadn’t called.
Qin Xiangyi had already changed out of her hospital gown and was sitting in her room, waiting quietly for something.
After a while, the door opened and a woman who looked just over thirty walked in.
The woman was dressed impeccably, mature and beautiful, with flawless makeup that couldn’t hide her haggard face, as if she’d been through a lot lately.
When she saw Qin Xiangyi, her eyes grew moist, and a flash of hatred and regret passed through them.
This was Qin Xiangyi’s and Qin Wangzi’s mother, Zhang Mou.
Zhang Mou was her name, given by Qin Xiangyi on a whim because she was too lazy to come up with anything else.
The Qin family favored sons over daughters, and Zhang Mou doted on her son Qin Wangzi, but had little affection for her half-daughter Qin Xiangyi.
But in the story, Qin Xiangyi had a good grandfather, and it was thanks to him that she survived.
As for being sent to Baichi Sanatorium and locked up with a bunch of mental patients, that was Zhang Mou’s punishment for Qin Xiangyi.
Qin Wangzi had already become a living corpse, and because of that, Qin Xiangyi had been kicked out of the Qin family.
Other than still having the surname Qin, she no longer had any of the privileges of a rich family’s child.
“Let’s go.” Zhang Mou looked at Qin Xiangyi and finally just said that.
Qin Xiangyi nodded and followed Zhang Mou out of the room.
The road was long, but neither of them spoke, and Zhang Mou didn’t bother to help with Qin Xiangyi’s luggage.
Qin Xiangyi didn’t apologize either.
Whether in real life or in this world, she felt numb about the idea of family.
System: Flower Immortal detected—Jing Shuxuan.
Suddenly, the system, which had been quiet, chimed in with a notification.
Qin Xiangyi instinctively stopped and looked around, spotting a sedan not far away.
If she remembered right, Jing Shuxuan was supposed to be Qin Wangzi’s fiancée.
A classic strong woman, but frustrated in her career, and in the end, could only marry into the Qin family.
Qin Xiangyi hadn’t expected to run into Jing Shuxuan right after leaving the sanatorium.
She’d only set up Jing Shuxuan’s character, without giving her any backstory, so her appearance really caught Qin Xiangyi off guard.
“You’ll be staying at your Shuxuan-jie’s place for the next few days.”
But in the story, Qin Xiangyi actually got along well with Jing Shuxuan.
Thinking of this, Qin Xiangyi nodded, seeing Zhang Mou standing still, apparently not planning to go over.
Qin Xiangyi didn’t push it.
She walked over and saw the window roll down, revealing a beautiful face.
Compared to Zhou Muning’s sweet innocence, Jing Shuxuan’s features were sharp and assertive.
When she saw Qin Xiangyi, she tossed the files from the passenger seat to the back and opened the car door.
Qin Xiangyi put her suitcase in the trunk and got in the car.
Jing Shuxuan kept talking on the phone, pointed at the seatbelt, and signaled for Qin Xiangyi to buckle up.
Qin Xiangyi wasn’t used to it, but did as she was told.
Jing Shuxuan put down her phone and switched to Bluetooth, still busy as ever.
Bored, Qin Xiangyi let her mind wander.
She didn’t have the memories of this world’s Qin Xiangyi, and Jing Shuxuan was a total stranger to her.
Afraid of saying the wrong thing, Qin Xiangyi decided to just keep quiet.
