Astral Flower

“Your past built the present you, but it shouldn’t be a shackle for your future.” A peerless assassin, codename Hua, received her last big mission after nearly died in an avalanche. Everyone knew that the Nan Family had a long missing daughter who only recently returned. She was raised in the village and didn’t have common sense of the nobility daughter, inviting mockery all over the Green Planet. Hearing various jokes about this daughter, they only shook their head and feel that she was not worthy of the Nan Family. However… Those who bullied her were bullied back by others suddenly. Those who wanted to hurt her suddenly got oppressed. Those who tried to harm her fell unlucky and got hurt instead. Nan Hua watched this all with an innocent look. They didn’t know that the one who put them in this predicament is precisely the unsightly young miss they looked down upon. Everything was doing well, but why did her supposed indifferent fiancé paid so much attention to her? Shouldn’t he just focus on the examination and his career in the military? A while later, Nan Hua saw Long Qian Xing staring at her gently and smiled back. ... Story set in fictional world with some advanced technology.

Harmonious Relationship

"Come on, the opponents in this forest is mostly just some small beasts. It's easy to deal with~."

"Ok."

The three of them went to the forest. Nan Hua followed from the back and simply casted the spells in accordance to the skill when it was needed. As a mage, she was doing her job well while Nan Xian Mu and Nan Xian Tang were busy cleaning up the beasts nearby.

Their levels were much higher than her. Added with the fact that Nan Xian Tang himself almost reaching the criteria to graduate, it was clear that he was much more powerful than the others.

"Where's that Crystal Flower?" Nan Xian Mu was dissatisfied.

"You've been looking for that flower for more than three days. The Crystal Flower is rare, so that's why it can be sold for 10,000 gold coins in the game," Nan Xian Tang reminded.

Nan Xian Mu looked at his cousin and smiled bitterly. "I know, but I don't have that much time to play every day."

His mother would check on him every few hours and Nan Xian Mu didn't dare to defy his mother. He could only play in his spare time after he had finished his work and before he had to sleep.

That way, his mother would not be suspicious.

"We've been playing for four hours," Nan Hua added.

"Sister, how about we continue searching for the flower tomorrow?" Nan Xian Mu thought of his mother and felt unwell when he thought that she might come to his room to check whether he had fallen asleep or not.

"We'll continue searching. Anyway, I'm still in holiday even though I'm in the dormitory. You can go offline first." Nan Xian Tang patted Nan Xian Mu's back.

"Fine." Nan Xian Mu took out the return scroll. "Good luck."

"Mhm."

"If the flower can be sold later, I'll share the income!"

Nan Xian Tang looked at Nan Xian Mu speechlessly. He felt that his cousin loved money too much, making him embarrassed.

Thankfully, there were no one else here.

Swish!

Nan Xian Mu returned.

Nan Xian Tang looked at Nan Hua. "Sister Hua, shall we continue?"

"I'm only a few months older than you," Nan Hua said in a small voice, reminding Nan Xian Tang not to call her so politely.

"It doesn't matter." Nan Xian Tang doesn't really care what address he used to call Nan Hua. Anyway, as long as it was polite, it was good enough.

Nan Hua looked at the place where Nan Xian Mu disappeared and asked, "Mrs. Nan is very strict?"

"Mrs. Nan?" Nan Xian Tang's attention was on the way Nan Hua called her mother.

"She doesn't allow me to call her mother unless I prove to be an excellent child of the Nan Family," Nan Hua replied. To be honest, this was something that was told to the fake Nan Hua, but Nan Hua chose to follow this.

Nan Xian Tang sighed. "Well, she had high expectation for marrying into the Nan Family. Her family background itself is very strong and they cared for their face a lot. It's a bit troublesome, but Nan Xian Mu managed to grow up quite well."

Nan Hua thought of the younger brother and didn't comment anything.

Even though Nan Xian Mu looked free in the game, she knew that he was always very restrained in the Nan Family. It was even more so in front of Mrs. Nan. Because Nan Xian Mu didn't dare to do anything that might provoke his mother.

"School will start in three days. The school might want to review your strength and skills again, so you better practice in the next two days before school started." Nan Xian Tang reminded.

Nan Hua looked at Nan Xian Tang for a moment.

The two of them were not close because the fake Nan Hua didn't have much time to care about her surroundings. She was too busy with training and practicing to become the perfect 'daughter of the Nan Family'.

Even though so, Nan Xian Tang still treated Nan Hua as his cousin and kindly reminded the other party.

Nan Hua nodded. "I know."

"That's good." Nan Xian Tang walked to the side, preparing to look for the Crystal Flower again. "My main weapon is double sword. We all need basic skill in almost all weapons but allowed to have one main weapon for the specific test. If you need help in melee training, you can find me."

Nan Hua looked at this cousin who suddenly gave such offer. He never said this to the fake Nan Hua before, but told her this now?

Did something change?

There was nothing strange in the memory and her interaction with him today.

Nan Hua nodded. "Ok, Cousin Tang."
