Over the next few days, ng Zisu stuck closely to Xi Yue, following her around as if determined to repay her life-saving kindness.
Xi Yue didn’t expose ng Zisu either.
She was also curious to see how the honey trap would be played out.
After all, back when she was an assassin, she had taken on various roles.
At that ti, the organization would assign missions at regular intervals, and failing to complete them ant a fate worse than death.
To survive, she not only honed her skills in assassination and poisoning but also mastered the art of acting, able to take on different identities in various situations.
She had even disguised herself as a man to seduce noblewon and married ladies—it wasn’t sothing she hadn’t done before.
It was only after arriving in this new world, where there were no missions to complete and no need for disguises, that she was finally able to return to her true self.
In Xi Yue’s eyes, ng Zisu’s acting was far too inexperienced.
Although she managed to put on a shy and enamored facade, her body would tense up for an instant at the mont Xi Yue made contact with her. A flicker of disgust and wariness could still be seen in her eyes.
Xi Yue couldn’t help but find it funny that such an innocent woman tried to seduce her.
When she was in the mood, she even felt like teasing her.
In the pavilion of the dical academy, ng Zisu walked over gracefully, her skirt fluttering with each step. Holding a small, unremarkable flower in her hand, she blushed slightly as she handed it to Xi Yue and said, “Instructor Xi Yue, I heard that you like rare and exotic plants. I happened to co across this spiritual herb by chance. Its aura feels sowhat unique, so I wanted to give it to you.”
Xi Yue took the flower she handed over, with a hint of surprise on her face.
It was the Infatuation Flower. Though not of high grade, this particular type, which naturally carried a mild hallucinogenic effect, was extrely rare. Where did ng Zisu—or rather, this group from Class Three of the Water dicine Departnt—manage to find it?
Even though people called it a flower, it was a spiritual herb, complete with its roots intact. There was a good chance it could be successfully cultivated if stored in a spatial space.
Xi Yue was in a good mood and accepted it without hesitation. Even her expression toward ng Zisu softened considerably.
Suddenly, a jade-green flute appeared in ng Zisu’s hand. She gave Xi Yue a shy yet expectant smile and said, “At this mont, being here with you makes happy, Instructor Xi Yue. May I play a tune for you?”
The backyard of the dical academy was filled with ornantal spiritual plants, their fragrance lingering in the air. Lush greenery flourished alongside carefully arranged rock formations and serene ponds, creating a picturesque and tranquil scene.
A hint of amusent surfaced in Xi Yue’s eyes. Since she was in a good mood, she didn’t mind whatever tricks the girl was up to, so she nodded in agreent.
ng Zisu gently smiled, her expression was graceful and alluring. It was indescribably moving.
The green jade flute was placed against the red lips, and a lingering lody filled the air. It began with a soft, mournful whisper before gradually rising into a smooth, flowing tune. The notes ebbed and surged, resonating through the pavilion with a stirring, almost enchanting power.
For a brief mont, Xi Yue was dazed, as if the familiar silhouette of soone from her past had appeared before her eyes.
Silky black hair cascaded like flowing silk, and star-like dark eyes shimred with a tenderness deep enough to drown in. Those gazed at her lovingly as a gentle voice called out, “Xi.”
Xi Yue snapped back to reality, her pupils contracting slightly.
Looking at the girl playing the flute in front of her, she first looked solemn.
The lody was enchanting, capable of beguiling the mind. Had she almost fallen under its spell herself?
No, it wasn’t just the lody. It must have been the combined effect with the Infatuation Flower she had just received.
The scent of the Infatuation Flower already had a bewitching effect. With the lody amplifying its influence, she had unknowingly fallen into an illusion.
