My Apocalypse System Arrives 10 Years Early

Chapter 196: Chapter 152: Spirit Fruit Platter, Beauty’s Peach Gum, and Stealing Fragrance

So, Li Xiang took her on a tour, showing her one room after another.

”It’s nice, very tasteful. But... I don’t think you’re the one who picked all this out, are you? Whoa, is this Ylang Ylang Essential Oil for aromatherapy in the bedroom? Brother, what exactly are you trying to do?” Jiang Cai’Er picked up the bottles of essential oil and the candles, holding them under her nose to smell them while staring intently at Li Xiang.

’Good thing I’ve seen *The Legend of Zhen Huan*,’ she thought. ’I know exactly what this stuff is for.’

”They were all gifts. I also have a bunch of air fryers, juicers, and things like that. Come on, I’ll show you. If you like anything, you can take it home.” Li Xiang quickly changed the subject, pulling her toward the storage room.

”Hmph.”

Unsure if it was from the scent of the Ylang Ylang Essential Oil or from Li Xiang holding her small hand, Jiang Cai’Er felt her body grow slightly warm.

His grandmother was out visiting neighbors, leaving the two of them alone in the huge house. With the door closed, the atmosphere became rather intimate.

”I like this Doraemon one.” Jiang Cai’Er spotted a small, adorable air fryer shaped like the robotic cat. Li Xiang helped her bag it up so she could take it home later.

Jiang Cai’Er, of course, didn’t stand on ceremony with him. If anyone else had offered her something, she would have politely refused or insisted on not accepting it. But with Li Xiang, she felt no need to be coy.

The two returned to the backyard to continue drinking tea. Li Xiang checked on her Cultivation progress and answered some of her questions. Jiang Cai’Er’s foundation was very stable, so she could try a higher-Tier Spirit Fruit. With that, Li Xiang took out two of the Crystal Kiwis he had and handed them to her.

”Wow, what a beautiful fruit! This is a true Kiwifruit.”

”Go on, eat it.”

”You feed me!” Jiang Cai’Er pouted.

”Feed you my foot. How about I peel it and slice it onto a plate for you?” Li Xiang said as he went to the kitchen to get a plate and a fruit knife.

The main reason he held back was that Jiang Cai’Er was still a high school student. Li Xiang was afraid of distracting her from her studies; otherwise, he might have made a more intimate move.

In reality, now that Jiang Cai’Er had formed her Memory Palace, it was highly unlikely that anything could significantly affect her studies.

There were several couples in her class. During evening self-study, they would sneak out for walks. One couple in particular clearly had no sense of boundaries. They would even sneak up to the roof of the academic building after class and had been caught by their classmates several times.

The students would gossip in private that the two had definitely crossed a line, though no one knew just how far they had gone.

After lights-out at night, the girls in her dorm would discuss the topic. Jiang Cai’Er sometimes joined in. When they talked about it, they all felt a little envious.

After all, they were seventeen or eighteen years old—graceful young women who had long since come of age. Their awareness of *that sort of thing* had already awakened.

Li Xiang sliced the two Tier Four Kiwifruit Spirit Fruits. The flesh was a sparkling emerald green, like the finest glass-type imperial green jade, dotted with small, glossy red berries that shone like rubies. He served it on a white jade porcelain plate with a gleaming silver fork on the side. This fruit platter, composed entirely of Spiritual Medicine, looked absolutely beautiful. Placed on the stone tea table, it glittered and glowed in the sunlight.

”I have to take a picture first!” Jiang Cai’Er said with a grin, pulling out her phone. ’Brother really spoils me,’ she thought. ’I have to take a picture to remember this. And of course, I have to post it to my Moments.’

After she posted it, many people asked her, ”Where did you buy those kiwis? Why do they look so good?”

”And what are those little red berries? They look so yummy!”

Jiang Cai’Er just replied with a smiley face. ’You can’t buy this anywhere,’ she thought. ’This is my brother’s love for me. It’s something money can’t buy.’

’With Brother feeding me like this, I probably won’t be able to suppress my power for much longer. I’m going to break through to Tier Two soon!’
