Once, I wanted to be a good person

That's right. After being spooked by a few dedicated and eager-to-learn maids, Fang Ze decided to teach them a feast: You want to learn, huh? Then forget about jellies and popping candies! Go straight for the goddess fitness dance that set the internet on fire in a previous life!

Not only does it shape the body and slim you down, but it also consumes energy!

In plain terms, thinking about those things all day is the result of too much idle time!

Thus, under Fang Ze's relentless instruction, these studious maids finally got to experience the enhanced version of the goddess fitness dance that drove millions to despair in his past life! They nearly danced themselves to death in the room!

So, it's no wonder they looked at Fang Ze as though he were the devil.

After all, the training they received from childhood as maids probably included nothing as bizarre as this…

After exhausting the maids, Fang Ze, wiping his sweat, returned to his bedroom.

At this moment, his bedroom quietly housed some items Bai Zhi had sent over.

After the inquiry, Fang Ze's "suspicions" had been cleared, and although he temporarily couldn't leave the villa, communication with the outside world and basic rights had been restored to normal, so the surveillance within the villa had been removed. Thus, Fang Ze finally had the chance to bring back the Flower God by his side...

And with the Flower God, Fang Ze could finally carry out the plan to kill Jiang Cheng...

Thinking this, Fang Ze opened a book called "The History of Xida State" sent by Bai Zhi, and then found the flower petal that hosted the Flower God between its pages.

Picking up the petal, Fang Ze gently called out, "Your Excellence, Flower God? Your Excellence, Flower God?"

Perhaps hearing Fang Ze's call, after a moment, the Flower God's somewhat lazy voice rang out near Fang Ze's ear, "Who's calling this old lady?"

Fang Ze: ...

"Your Excellence, Flower God. It's me, your Believer Fang Ze."

Maybe it was the word "Believer" that triggered some automatic response from the Flower God. She suddenly woke up with a shock inside the petal, then cleared her throat and said, "Hmm. Is it you who called me? Are you home yet?"

As she said this, she sensed the outside world with her Divine Soul. After a moment, she exclaimed in surprise, "Eh? Why is it still daytime? Haven't you gone home?"

Fang Ze kept a straight face, but inside, he thought to himself, "Just as expected."

In fact, on the day he asked Jun to seek Bai Zhi's assistance, Fang Ze had given Jun another task: without alerting the Flower God, to temporarily hide her away.

The reason he dared to do this was precisely because the Flower God had recently been through a rollercoaster of ups and downs and suffered a serious blow. She claimed to be sleeping but was actually in a deep slumber, recuperating from her injuries.

For the Flower God in such a state, if nobody actively woke her, a few hours rest or a few days should make no difference to her.

That is why Fang Ze had Jun take the petal away and hide it at first. Once Fang Ze's suspicions were cleared and he contacted Bai Zhi, he then smuggled the petal back, allowing himself to activate it.

And indeed, everything happened as Fang Ze had predicted; the Flower God had indeed been in a deep slumber for an entire day, and knew nothing of what had transpired during that time.

With that in mind, Fang Ze did not explain the events of the past two days to the Flower God, merely saying he had taken on another case and was here to investigate.

The Flower God didn't think too much about it. She yawned and continued to absorb the energy emanating from Fang Ze to heal her wounds.

And just as she had absorbed enough energy and was about to fall back into slumber, suddenly, the door of Fang Ze's bedroom was "thud, thud, thudded" upon.

Fang Ze silently remarked on the perfect timing, then he set down the Flower God and got up to open the door.

Outside the room was a Yinbai-colored trolley, laden with various silver dishes, utensils, and a dazzling array of lunch foods.

The moment she saw the food, the Flower God who had been drowsy inside the petal suddenly had her eyes light up!

Her Divine Soul carefully scanned the surroundings, and after ensuring there was no danger, she voraciously devoured the exquisite dishes!

That sight was particularly like that of a nympho relentlessly licking the food.

It's just that divine souls don't produce saliva, or else all that food would definitely be drenched.

Even though there were no visible signs of the divine soul, Fang Ze could distinctly hear the "gulp" sound of the Flower God swallowing saliva, and he slightly curved up the corners of his mouth before signaling the still-floating maid to come in and lay out the feast.

A moment later, as the maid pushed the trolley and placed the dishes one by one on the table, Fang Ze heard even more "gulp" sounds.

And after the maid had finished placing the food and left Fang Ze's bedroom, the Flower God's voice rang out beside his ear, "Fang Ze, what kind of case are you working on? How come there's so much delicious food?"

Fang Ze responded with a smile, "It's just a common murder case. However, the person who reported it is a bit special, a noble. I'm currently at the noble's house. So, the treatment I receive is a bit better."

The Flower God let out an "Oh" and stared greedily at the dishes, nearly drooling over them.

Fang Ze was quite infuriating; he could have enjoyed his meal properly but instead ate exceptionally slowly, and the look on his face was one of sheer enjoyment. This made the Flower God increasingly crave the food, wanting it more and more...

Previously, when Fang Ze had been disguised as Little Grass, he had asked the Flower God why she wanted to come to the real world. At that time, the Flower God replied that she wanted to taste the food from the real world!

Although she was deceiving Fang Ze, food was indeed the Flower God's only hobby!

So, seeing such a feast for the first time right before her eyes, yet being unable to eat any of it, the Flower God felt an unbearable itch in her heart.

She held back, and held back some more, but finally, she couldn't restrain herself any longer!

A moment later, when Fang Ze placed yet another delicious-looking pastry into his mouth, the Flower God finally coughed and took the initiative to ask, "Fang Ze, does what you're eating taste good? What flavor is it?"

To be honest, just for an instant, Fang Ze could imagine the Flower God's expression of being tempted to tears.

He chuckled inwardly but maintained a calm exterior as he responded, "Your Highness, the Flower God, it doesn't taste good. This thing has no flavor."

"Gulp." The Flower God swallowed saliva once more, longingly watching Fang Ze as he chewed with evident pleasure.

Even though she knew Fang Ze was deceiving her!

But what could she say?

She was the Flower God, a deity! She couldn't stoop to stealing food from her own believers! Moreover... she was in her divine soul state right now, unable to grab anything even if she wanted to—the most she could do was enjoy the scent!

While she was thinking this, suddenly, Fang Ze spoke up again. He said, "By the way, Your Highness, the Flower God, a suspect of the Yang Transformation stage will come over later. Could you help me discreetly check his strength?"

"We've basically confirmed that he's the murderer. But his strength seems formidable, of the Yang Transformation stage, while our people are only at the Spirit Ascension stage, so we are unsure. I'm hoping you could help look for any weaknesses or exploitable aspects."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, the Flower God, nestled among the petals, came back to her senses and pursed her lips: Not even letting me smell the food, yet you still want me to work?!

As she was thinking this, Fang Ze continued, "Of course, I wouldn't expect you to help for nothing. Once this matter is concluded, I will prepare a grand feast exclusively for you, to eat however you like!"

"Even if it's all burned just for the scent, I agree."

As he spoke, Fang Ze's tone shifted, "Of course, I am aware this is nothing much to you, but it's just a token of my appreciation."

Upon hearing Fang Ze's words, the Flower God "gulped" and swallowed.

Moments later, she solemnly stated, "What grand feast? I'm not someone who covets gastronomic pleasures! I just can't tolerate evil! Just bring that person here, a mere Yang Transformation stage, I can still clearly discern their true power!"

Upon hearing the Flower God's words, Fang Ze muttered to himself "Success!" then laughing, he moved the petals from the bedside to beside the food and said to the Flower God, "Then, Your Highness, please wait for a moment, I'll be back shortly."

After speaking, he quickly got up, descended to the living room, and communicated with the Special Service Department, requesting Jiang Cheng to come meet him!
