I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

"Never mind, I have things to do too, I don't have time to go."

“Yes. Even if you take me, I won’t go.” Liu Xiyao also refused outright.

She wouldn't be foolish enough to actually go with them.

Moreover, she was determined to secure her meal ticket today, so she couldn't possibly waste time with his junior sister over some petty gains.

Huang Quan remained calm, knowing that Gu Qici would handle the situation well, and Liu Xiyao's reaction was roughly as he had expected. As long as the two were temporarily separated, it would signify the start of a successful plan.

When he finalized his plan yesterday, he decided that he needed to stagger his meetings with Gu Qici and Liu Xiyao. After all, if they met simultaneously, he couldn't possibly meet them both at the same time. Moreover, staggering their meetings would give him more room to maneuver.

However, these two girls are really good actors. They worked very hard to surprise Jiang Wanyu.

Huang Quan thought to himself with a sense of gratitude, while also feeling somewhat fortunate that this world allowed for secret communication, eliminating the need for the hassle of sending messages via mobile phone.

With this method, he could easily adjust his plans and was less likely to expose too many flaws.

After Gu Qici left, Huang Quan didn't rush to follow. Instead, he finished his breakfast at his usual pace before saying goodbye to the others.

Liu Xiyao said sweetly, "Come back soon, meal ticket."

He remained seated obediently, as there was an agreement made the previous night, and Liu Xiyao naturally wouldn't hold Huang Quan back from leaving.

"The meal ticket is really dedicated, not forgetting the sect's mission. But this way, even if Sister Wanyu really wants to go and see, the meal ticket won't have any flaws." Watching Huang Quan disappear, Liu Xiyao smiled, her eyes slightly narrowed.

There was still more than an hour before she was supposed to meet Fanpiao. Fanpiao had gone to wait for her so early so that Wanyu wouldn't find out, which touched Liu Xiyao deeply.

Moreover, making the meal ticket lie must have put him in a very difficult position, not to mention that he was facing a terrifying figure like Sister Wanyu, who could expose his weakness at any moment.

Sword Granny, on the other hand, looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking.

Finally, he could only sigh helplessly: "Wan Yu, what do you think of the Life-Creating Flame?"

"Oh? That's great."

"I'm showing you its color."

"What's wrong? Has my Heavenly Fire mutated?"

"It's okay, maybe I was just imagining things..."

Sword Granny was helpless.

Fish, fish, fish, I already reminded you, but you just didn't realize it.

It's not that I don't want to fight alongside you, it's just that the enemy is too ruthless...

Meanwhile, on a bustling street in Fantasy City, a young man dressed in a black robe, his aura becoming indifferent, walked in.

Not far away, a girl stood quietly, as beautiful as a flower, waiting patiently. "One hour's time difference, the battle is about to begin."

When Huang Quan looked at Gu Qici, he paused slightly, let out a soft breath, and then stepped forward to approach the girl again. To be honest, when he was about to officially start the plan, the boy felt a little solemn for the first time, a feeling he had never had before when fighting those enemies.

"Senior brother."

The moment Huang Quan appeared, Gu Qici saw him, and a faint light shone in the girl's eyes.

Huang Quan breathed a sigh of relief: "You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"

But what's with this atmosphere that's like a lovers' rendezvous?

No.

"Really? But I remember you've been gone for two or three quarters of an hour." Huang Quan asked curiously.

Gu Qici pursed her lips slightly: "...Because I was waiting for my senior brother, time passed very quickly."

"Hmm, if that's the case, then there's no problem." Huang Quan nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this.

"No problem, what do you mean?" Gu Qici was a little curious, but before she could ask anything, Huang Quan asked, "Qici, do you have something you like?"

"Well, not yet. My senior brother's 'fiancée' is quite picky about gifts," Gu Qici said, then looked at the long street. She wasn't that stupid to pick out what to buy right away; otherwise, how could she go shopping with her senior brother later?

"Is there really such a thing?" Huang Quan fell into deep thought again. He had never been aware of such a difficulty before.

"If it were Ah Qi, what kind of gift would she prefer?" Huang Quan suddenly seemed to remember something and asked casually. He then remembered that he and Liu Xiyao would also be helping Jiang Wanyu choose a gift later. If he could get the answer while he was at it, things might be much easier with Liu Xiyao later.

"Me?" Gu Qici was taken aback, then turned her head with a slightly flushed face and said softly, "I like any gift that my senior brother gives me, no matter what it is."

"..." This answer is practically the same as not answering at all. Huang Quan sighed inwardly, but it seems that preparing gifts for Ah Qi in the future will actually be easier?

After Gu Qici finished speaking, she kept her eyes secretly on the boy. When she found that Huang Quan had no other expression, her eyes showed a slight disappointment, but after a while, she looked at Huang Quan with a gentle and helpless expression.

There's really no need for me to feel down, since I already knew that my senior brother was a blockhead.

It's already quite fortunate that we've made this progress; at least Jiang Wanyu definitely didn't expect this.

Gu Qici thought of the alluring red lips and a faint, cold smile appeared on her face. If she wasn't worried about being discovered by Liu Xiyao, she would have liked to use the viewing stone to record this day so that she could reminisce about it later.

“Let’s go this way.” At this moment, Huang Quan also spoke up and turned to the other side. He had specifically studied the map yesterday, and this commercial street happened to form a circle, leaving just enough space for Gu Qici and Liu Xiyao, with each person in a semicircle.

This can minimize the occurrence of unexpected situations, such as... halfway through shopping, someone suddenly looks at him strangely and mutters something like, "This young man seems to have just been here with another girl he was with before," and then the scene immediately explodes.

Moreover, Huang Quan was confident that his handsomeness would leave a deep impression on others even if he tried to suppress it, so he would never go to a place he had already visited once. Therefore, one person and one semicircle was the best choice.

"Hmm." Gu Qici had no idea that her seemingly wooden senior brother had been forced into becoming a time management master overnight.

The girl had a gentle smile on her face. She didn't really care where they went; what mattered was being with her senior brother.

Soon, the people around saw a perfect young couple walking quietly down the street, their demeanor both elegant and refined.

Moreover, their appearances are exceptionally outstanding. Some men and women who are attracted to them both are so captivated by their close relationship that they don't even know who to envy more.

While Huang Quan was seriously pondering what Jiang Wanyu might like—a question that was giving him a headache—Gu Qici was looking at Huang Quan intently.

The drunkard doesn't mean wine.

When choosing gifts, Gu Qici would pick up the items and bring them close to Huang Quan, but she wouldn't hand them directly to Huang Quan. Instead, she would hold them in her own hands and show them to him, so that she could naturally get close to the boy.

Occasionally, the girl's faint fragrance, carrying a warm touch, would fall on Huang Quan's face. However, Huang Quan remained expressionless. Instead, when the boy looked up in surprise, the similarly close breathing eventually made Gu Qici unable to bear it. Even her crystal ears turned pink, and her body went limp as she retreated, yet she was somewhat enjoying it.

In the end, she didn't even know what she had seen. In an effort to show that she was serious, Gu Qici chose to buy everything her senior brother had picked out.

Moreover, in the girl's eyes, since these were all items picked out by Huang Quan, she didn't lose out at all by buying them; it was as if Huang Quan had given her a whole bunch of gifts.

As for spirit stones... compared to what my senior brother is comparing, can spirit stones be eaten?

Moreover, she was a great emperor reborn.

You can't possibly lack spirit stones, can you?

However, as Huang Quan watched Gu Qici buy her way through the market, he silently marveled at Gu Qici's wealth and extravagance.

Is this his fiancée, or Ah Qi's fiancée...?

Did you buy all of this as a birthday gift for Jiang Wanyu?

The two of them were not moving fast, but time passed by very quickly. Half an hour passed in no time. Although Gu Qici was still a little reluctant to leave, the boy, after calculating the things the girl had bought, felt that the time was almost up and found a place to stop.

"Senior brother, are you planning to take a break?" Gu Qici's heart skipped a beat when she saw Huang Quan stop.

Huang Quan started shopping much earlier than she expected, and his shopping efficiency seemed to be higher than she imagined. Moreover, remembering that she had bought everything she had previously chosen, Gu Qici felt even more sympathetic and only focused on buying everything her senior brother had selected.

She almost forgot her purpose for today. If her senior brother felt he had bought enough and went back, then... that would be a huge loss.

And at this point in the morning, only a little over half of the day had passed, with a large portion of the day still to go.

"I suppose so," Huang Quan replied, then led Gu Qici to the outside of an elegant teahouse: "I saw an acquaintance, and I have some business to discuss with him, so I'll have to ask you to wait here for me a while, Junior Sister."

Then Huang Quan said. Gu Qici was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then suddenly realized: "Senior brother, are you worried that Jiang Wanyu and Liu Xiyao are looking for you? I can understand. You don't need to make excuses to lie to me. I understand. Please don't lie to me anymore, okay?"

She thought of the excuse Huang Quan had given when he left.

If that girl suddenly had a whim and actually went out to wander around, and while she was there to inquire about Huang Quan's location, the people around her wouldn't have any recollection of Huang Quan's existence, and they would definitely become suspicious.

In this way, if Huang Quan goes outside and leaves some traces, he can perfectly cover up that flaw.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior brother..." Gu Qici thought to herself silently, "Senior brother has put in a lot of effort for this morning, and at the same time, I'm comforting myself that it's just a little while, there won't be any problem."

"I'll be back as soon as possible, and there's a place I'd like to take you to see later." Huang Quan nodded and calmly added.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qici's slight melancholy vanished instantly, and her eyes were filled with light once more.

"Senior brother... is that where you're taking me?" the girl murmured softly, watching the boy's departing figure. This time, even her face flushed slightly.

"Senior brother is so kind."

With her in a good mood, she noticed that the green leaves of the trees around her looked especially vibrant today.

Chapter 114 The trees are indeed greener and more vibrant today. (4K)

"Brother Huangquan, over here!"

Before long, familiar sounds came from the unfamiliar street.

Perhaps because there were many pedestrians on the road, Liu Xiyao changed her address.

On the other side of the street scene, Liu Xiyao, dressed in a white dress and without any makeup, still exuded an ethereal beauty, waving her little hand towards Huang Quan from afar, especially when she saw the boy.

The girl's originally innocent and pretty face suddenly took on a captivating and alluring quality, almost like a femme fatale. As she blinked her beautiful eyes and watched Huang Quan approach, her cheeks seemed to blush slightly, but her eyes were full of smiles.

That sweet "Brother Huangquan" sent a shiver down the spines of many passersby, but then they watched with utter heartbreak as Liu Xiyao, like a bird returning to its nest, rushed toward the black-robed youth.

"Meal ticket, have you resolved things on your end?" Liu Xiyao naturally moved closer to Huang Quan and hugged his arm tightly.

In the girl's view, Huang Quan came from the other side, and it seemed that he had just finished something.

"Hmm." Huang Quan nodded calmly.

He had just settled things with Gu Qici and wasn't worried at all. In fact, he had made an appointment with Gu Qici beforehand, taking into account his junior sister's personality. She would definitely wait for him patiently at the teahouse. However, with Liu Xiyao's lively personality, if he left her alone, she might run around and cause trouble. If they happened to run into her while she was strolling on the street, then they could end the meeting early.

Moreover, thanks to his Nirvana Realm cultivation, he didn't run around panting like a dead dog. Although he barely managed to come out close to the agreed time, Huang Quan didn't spend too much time getting there and even had the energy to deal with some traces, such as eliminating Gu Qici's aura.

Huang Quan treated this as a battle, and he never hesitated to be cautious when it came to battles.

After all, Huang Quan was well aware that although Liu Xiyao was careless and wouldn't care about these details.

However, it is still possible to detect some traces.

"Have you decided what to buy for Jiang Wanyu?" Huang Quan immediately got to the point. He needed to act quickly.

"Hmm~" Liu Xiyao quickly shook her head: "I have absolutely no clue. Giving Sister Wanyu a gift is super troublesome. I feel like she doesn't really like anything."

"That's why I wanted to bring you here for reference. From now on, it's all up to you."

"I think the thought is what counts. She'll like whatever I give her..." Huang Quan thought to himself, while wondering, "Am I giving her a gift or are you giving her one?"
