Once, I wanted to be a good person

"It's really not easy!"

Upon a closer look at the Flower God's phantom, one would notice that she, who was almost completely transparent before, now appeared much more solid, and her clothes seemed increasingly exquisite, with more intricate patterns.

After smugly pacing around the room with her hands behind her back, the Flower God stopped, made a slight gesture towards Fang Ze's bed, and instantly, a petal soared through the air, landing in her hand.

Due to her damaged Divine Soul, the Flower God's spirit had previously been confined to reside within this petal, limiting her apparition to a range of ten meters from it. If she were to leave, she had to return to the petal, carefully controlling its slow glide...

This was why she could freely appear in the room before, but struggled so much once she left it.

Now, after this round of recovery, it seemed she had gained the ability to manipulate the petal in reverse...

Summoning the petal to her hand, the Flower God wrapped it with both hands, clasped them together, and then unfolded them to reveal a beautiful petal necklace in her hand.

Hooking the necklace, the Flower God skillfully put it around her neck, then curiously gazed towards the direction of Villa 8...

'Wasn't that the direction from which the scent of Plant Essence came before?'

'What exactly is there....?'

....

The next day.

Fang Ze was woken up by the Flower God shaking him, "Fang Ze, Fang Ze~"

Dazed and confused, Fang Ze awoke but hadn't fully gathered his bearings when he heard the Flower God say beside him, "Quick, look and see what's different about me."

Hearing the term "old lady" she used, Fang Ze snapped awake immediately.

He opened his eyes, bleary with sleep, and gazed at the Flower God before him. At that moment, the Flower God was floating in mid-air, bowing her head, looking at him with her naturally enchanting eyes.

With the Flower God's hint, Fang Ze instinctively felt that something was indeed different about her compared to last night, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

So, he kept scrutinizing the Flower God....

After a moment, he hesitated, noticing something, "Has your injury healed?"

Seeing that Fang Ze guessed correctly, the Flower God proudly put her hands on her waist, "Just a little."

Upon hearing that, Fang Ze was startled, and he became fully alert.

He expressed his joy with a delighted face, "Congratulations on your recovery, Your Grace!", while secretly worrying, 'So fast....? I really need to hasten the progress on the God-trapping Method.'

The Flower God couldn't read minds, so seeing Fang Ze so "happy," she smugly patted his shoulder, saying, "Don't worry~ Old lady keeps her word; once I've fully recovered my power, I won't forget you."

What could Fang Ze say? He could only smile obligingly.

Since the Flower God had regained part of her power, Fang Ze's good mood in the morning was entirely gone.

He finished his breakfast tastelessly and then headed to the Security Bureau for work, escorted by Hei Yu.

However, upon arriving at his office and opening the door, his mood instantly improved: Bai Zhi, elegantly dressed in a blue-purple noble outfit, was in his office, gracefully arranging the flowers on his desk.

Seeing Bai Zhi, Fang Ze inexplicably felt much more relaxed. He closed the door, walked quickly up to her, and gently embraced the beautiful woman, resting his head against Bai Zhi's swan-like neck.

On previous occasions of close contact with Bai Zhi, Fang Ze had always noticed a faint fragrance emanating from her, quite different from the milky scent on Miaomiao, more refined and mature.

Feeling Fang Ze's embrace, Bai Zhi was initially stiff before gradually relaxing.

After being held for a while, she slowly turned around, leaning back against Fang Ze.

In this way, the two quietly inhaled each other's scent, enjoying the beautiful moments exclusive to them.

Although they did not speak a word throughout, a tacit understanding silently permeated between them.

Nobody knew how much time passed before Fang Ze slowly came to his senses. He gently patted Bai Zhi's frail, willow-like waist and then inquired, "Finished the handover and orientation?"

Although Bai Zhi had arrived two days ago, she was, after all, the director of the Emerald City Security Bureau, carrying heavy responsibilities. Transferring to the State Security Bureau involved many processes and coordinating the handover with the next director.

Thus, she and Bai Ling had been handling the job transfer matters these past two days.

Now that she had time to find him, Fang Ze naturally guessed that everything must be sorted out.

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi seemed to recall something unpleasant. Her delicate nose wrinkled slightly, and she softly said, "It's all done. But....."

Fang Ze, still holding her, asked, "But what?"

Leaning against Fang Ze's shoulder, Bai Zhi replied with an aggrieved tone, "But Sister Bing doesn't agree with me joining the Judicial Department."

Upon hearing Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze exclaimed in surprise, "Why?"

Bai Zhi pouted slightly before saying, "She said the Judicial Department is the most important department in the entire Security Bureau, and if anything happens, it would be a major issue, so she doesn't want me fooling around there."

Saying that, she glanced up at Fang Ze and asked, "Am I someone who fools around?"

Fang Ze:...

Fang Ze was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a moment, his desire for survival prevailed, so he quickly clapped his hands and said, "Of course not! Ever since I met you, you've always been particularly reliable!"
