Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Flower Demon

Mo Buwen and Nan ZaiXu are birds of a feather. Though young, their cultivation and scheming are not to be underestimated.

Both came with the same intention, to use Xia Yanbing and others to achieve their own goals.

It’s just that Nan ZaiXu acted faster and grabbed the opportunity first.

Therefore, the moment Mo Buwen saw Nan ZaiXu, a sharp murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"Hey, I’m asking you a question?" Liu Yiren said irritably, seeing Mo Buwen staring at Nan ZaiXu and not answering her question.

Mo Buwen withdrew his gaze and smiled brightly, "Sorry, I was a bit distracted. I’m Mo Buwen, indeed a close friend of Qin Yi."

Liu Yiren looked at Nan ZaiXu, then at Mo Buwen, "Both of you claim to be Qin Yi’s good friends, do you two know each other?"

Nan ZaiXu and Mo Buwen looked at each other. Both are shrewd individuals; a glance was enough to understand the other’s intention, which was... cooperation.

Their goals were the same, and exposing each other now would benefit neither. It was better to temporarily join forces for a win-win cooperation.

"Of course we know each other," Mo Buwen said with a smile. "Nan and I, along with Qin Yi, once drank tea and wine together, discussing interesting matters of the world."

"Exactly, I have known Brother Mo for a long time. It’s just a pity that Brother Qin Yi is no longer with us," Nan ZaiXu sighed full of regret.

Liu Yiren looked at Mo Buwen, "But why did Qin Yi never mention you to us?"

"Yiren, I know this gentleman."

Mo Buwen looked in the direction of the voice and was pleasantly surprised to see Yun Mengyao, "So it’s Fairy Yun, the day you were taken by that masked person, I couldn’t sleep all night. Seeing you safe and sound, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Actually, my visit this time is twofold: first, to visit the widow of an old friend, and secondly, to see if Fairy Yun is safe."

Nan ZaiXu’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He didn’t expect Mo Buwen to know Yun Mengyao, which was disadvantageous to him.

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Mo." Yun Mengyao seemed very enthusiastic, "Young Master Mo, please come in. I also want to thank you for saving my life last time. If it weren’t for your help, I fear I would have fallen victim to Murong Qianxun."

Mo Buwen walked inside, not forgetting to give a smug smile to Nan ZaiXu. You thought you had the upper hand? In a battle of heroes, who will ultimately triumph is still uncertain.

Nan ZaiXu’s gaze became even more sullen.

"Fairy Yun, no need to thank me. Since you are a friend of Qin Yi, you are also a friend of mine, and it was only natural to lend a hand," Mo Buwen secretly smiled, thinking rescuing Yun Mengyao was a smart move, as it indeed won her favor.

Mo Buwen took a step forward, then suddenly turned to Nan ZaiXu, cupped his fists, and said, "Brother Nan, are you leaving? Take care, let’s drink and chat again if there’s a chance."

Nan ZaiXu wore a very awkward smile. Now was not the time to look upset, but he couldn’t genuinely smile either, so his expression was odd. He was also very troubled internally. If he left, any of Qin Yi’s women just needed to say that Mo Buwen is Qin Yi’s friend, and the young experts on the list would all side with Mo Buwen.

He absolutely couldn’t allow that to happen, but for the moment, he had no reason to stay.

Just as Nan ZaiXu was in a dilemma, suddenly a powerful aura swept across, accompanied by a pleasant floral scent.

Everyone felt as if their eyes blurred, and a small figure landed in front of the villa.

Aside from Nan ZaiXu and Mo Buwen, whose eyes narrowed with vigilance, Yun Mengyao and the others were secretly shocked. Another expert of the Nascent Soul Stage. What was even more unbelievable was that this person was a little girl.

The little girl appeared only twelve or thirteen years old, fair-skinned, dressed in a pink princess dress, with two pigtails and a beautiful floral wreath on her head. Her big eyes twinkled like a cute doll.

This little girl was indeed in the Nascent Soul Realm, her talent defying the heavens, truly the pride of heaven.

"Hi, everyone!" The little girl’s eyelashes were long, her eyes big and bright. When she spoke, she tilted her little head, incredibly cute, almost making Liu Yiren want to pinch her adorable chubby cheeks.

"Is this Brother Qin Yi’s home?"

Liu Yiren snapped back to reality, "You’re here to see Qin Yi too?"

"Yes!" The little girl answered innocently.

"What’s your relation to Qin Yi? Are you also friends?" Liu Yiren asked.

The little girl tilted her head, a shy smile on her face. She lowered her head slightly, her fair, slender index fingers nervously bumping each other, and said softly, "No, I’m called Flower Demon, I’m Brother Qin Yi’s little sister. He said when I grow up, he’ll marry me."

Flower Demon?

Upon hearing this name, Yun Mengyao and the others felt a chill. If Duan Xinyuan hadn’t mentioned this name before, they might have really believed this little girl was Qin Yi’s acknowledged sister because she was too adorable.

Duan Xinyuan had said that this Flower Demon had a mysterious origin and an unknown identity. But recently, her fame had risen, enough to rival Mo Buwen and Nan ZaiXu.

Nan ZaiXu and Mo Buwen looked at Flower Demon with cold smiles. Others might not know, but they were very clear about Flower Demon’s methods. Beneath that cute exterior lay a heart as cruel as a feral wolf, more poisonous than a Poison Snake.

Flower Demon could sweetly call you "brother" one moment and tear you to pieces the next.

Moreover, Flower Demon is not only venomous like a viper but also extremely clever and cunning, nothing like a twelve- or thirteen-year-old girl.

"Wow, Brother Nan, Brother Mo, you’re here too? Are you also here for Brother Qin Yi’s memorial?" Flower Demon tilted her head, smiling innocently.

However, Nan ZaiXu and Mo Buwen shuddered inwardly.

They knew this was Flower Demon signaling a desire for cooperation.

Now, the three of them were essentially tied to the same ship. If one revealed the truth, all three of their plans would fail completely.

"Yes, Flower Demon sister, I didn’t expect to see you here," Nan ZaiXu smiled, though he didn’t realize how awkward his smile was. He wasn’t afraid of Mo Buwen, despite Mo Buwen being a smiling tiger, his actions were predictable. But not Flower Demon. She was a thorough fox, and no one could guess what she was thinking.

Mo Buwen merely nodded with a forced smile, equally wary of Flower Demon.

Flower Demon looked at Liu Yiren, tilted her head, and sweetly asked, "Miss, may I go in? I want to see Brother Qin Yi’s wife. Brother Qin Yi said his wife, Sister Xiaobing, is unparalleled in beauty. I want to see how beautiful she is?"

Liu Yiren turned to look at Yun Mengyao.

Yun Mengyao hesitated. Even if she was just a little girl, anyone who could be on par with Nan ZaiXu and Mo Buwen was not to be underestimated, leaving her unsure whether to let her in or not.

"A guest is a guest, let Flower Demon sister come in," Xia Yanbing spoke calmly.
