As agreed, Gu Fan and Lin Xi arrived together at a large villa outside the city. As they stepped in, the blizzard suddenly stopped, as if Qian Feng was intentionally demonstrating her sincerity.
Once inside the villa, Gu Fan and Lin Xi were astonished. In the living room, they beheld a vibrant red flower, stretching two stories tall and writhing occasionally, strange noises emanating from it as though it possessed a life of its own.
Gu Fan found this strange and looked at Lin Xi, who also denied having seen it before, let alone knowing where Qian Feng might have obtained such a thing.
"I didn't expect you two to walk right into the trap." Qian Feng, Qian Xue, and Qian Ying appeared and descended the stairs, their faces filled with triumphant smirks.
Lin Xi responded: "Eldest sister, I'm here. As we agreed, I'm ready to face punishment. Please, begin."
