This Move of Yours Is Going to Make Me Ascend

"Senior, you look so downcast. Did you suffer some kind of setback?" Shen Yi asked, looking at the restless Jiang Zitao.

Jiang Zitao sighed, grabbed a bottle of wine from the table, popped it open, poured a glass for Shen Yi, and then filled his own. He raised his glass and downed it in one gulp.

"Junior, tell me, where exactly do I fall short?" With a glass of wine in his belly, Jiang Zitao said bitterly.

"Did Senior Sister Xu do something to you again?"
"It's a long story. Tell me, why does she dislike me so much?"
"Today, I confessed to her again outside her dormitory. I used fresh flowers, just like you said, to arrange them into a heart shape, and even lit a ring of candles."
"I confessed to her loudly. Guess what happened?" Shen Yi didn't say anything, looking at him curiously, waiting for the rest.

"As a result, after Xiao Shi came out, she beat me up directly and told me that if I did this again next time, she would block me and never see me again." Having said this, Jiang Zitao was like a deflated balloon, utterly demoralized. He picked up the wine glass, poured himself another, and downed it in one go.

"That shouldn't be. Why would that happen?" Although Shen Yi didn't know how to pursue girls either—he had been a single dog in his past life—it didn't stop him from learning these methods.

"How did you do it at the time?" Jiang Zitao took out his phone, opened his photo album, and handed it to Shen Yi.

Shen Yi took the phone, glanced at the picture, and was completely dumbfounded. In the photo, there was a heart-shaped sea of flowers. Inside was a ring of yellow Hailing Chrysanthemums, in the center was a ring of red roses, and the outermost ring consisted of white lilies. Within the flower ring, there was also a ring of white candles. And in the very center of the candle ring, there were actually several photos of Xu Yingshi.

Shen Yi suddenly felt that getting beaten up was considered light. If it were anyone else, they would probably have prepared his urn. Isn't this guy a complete idiot?

"Senior, where did you get these flowers? And who told you to put a photo in the center?" At this moment, he didn't even know what to say. With this kind of setup, let alone Xu Yingshi, any random girl would have beaten him to death on the spot.

"The yellow ones are Hailing Chrysanthemums. I spent a lot of money to buy them. These Hailing Chrysanthemums are of great help to Xiao Shi's supernatural ability, and their effect on helping her condense her Intent is extremely obvious."
"I saw that she usually drinks this kind of Hailing Chrysanthemum tea, so I guessed she must like it very much." Jiang Zitao pointed to the ring of yellow chrysanthemums in the middle. Hearing his words, it was the first time Shen Yi had heard of this miraculous spiritual medicine. What a grand gesture, actually using something that could condense Intent. He had never heard of this kind of spiritual medicine before.

"The red ones are Blood Phoenix Flowers. They look like roses and are a special product of the Withered Blood Swamp. They can strengthen the physical body."
"I noticed that when Xiao Shi trains her body, she always carries some Blood Phoenix Flowers with her. I thought she would definitely love them too. This kind of thing is extremely precious. I asked someone from the Black Market and spent a lot of effort to get this many." Jiang Zitao pointed to the red ring in the middle. It was obvious that this stuff was extremely rare, as the number of red flowers was significantly fewer.

"As for the white ones, they are relatively common. They are lilies nurtured by Wood-attribute ability users using spiritual energy, symbolizing a harmonious union for a hundred years." Well, this left Shen Yi momentarily speechless. Was he stupid? Each of these items was chosen with great care, showing his absolute devotion. He even paid close attention to Xu Yingshi's daily diet, making him a warm and thoughtful man. Any of those items given individually would definitely not result in a beating; he would even be thanked. After all, these things were incredibly rare.

But could you say he wasn't stupid? He took all these good things and arranged them together in a way that made it look exactly like a funeral wreath. A funeral wreath was bad enough, but he actually put her photo in the center! If you didn't get beaten up, who would? Beating him was light. If she had a hot temper, she probably would have vaporized him on the spot.

"Forget about lighting white candles, but who told you to put a photo in the center?" Shen Yi pointed to the photo in the middle of the flower wreath.

"Wasn't I afraid that other girls would mistakenly think I was confessing to them? By putting her photo like this, they wouldn't stand a chance. Anyone can tell at a glance who I'm confessing to." His words actually made sense, leaving Shen Yi unable to refute them.

"You don't know, but in our Inner Court, there are many girls who like me. To clear things up with them, this method is the best."
"After Senior Sister Xu came out, was her first sentence to you: 'Jiang Zitao, are you out of your mind?'" Shen Yi already had the image in his mind, imagining what kind of state of mind Xu Yingshi was in when she saw this operation.

"Ah, how did you know? Did Xiao Shi tell you?" Jiang Zitao looked at Shen Yi in surprise. Indeed, when Xu Yingshi came out, her first sentence was exactly that. Before he could finish his confession, everything was kicked away. The ground was covered with scattered spiritual medicine. Then came a flurry of punches and kicks. Xu Yingshi was furious and almost cut ties with him.

"Tell me, where exactly did I go wrong?" Shen Yi covered his face with his hand, not daring to look. Right now, he only had one sentence in mind to tell Jiang Zitao.

"This move of yours is going to make me ascend!"

"Senior, don't give up. If it didn't work this time, we can change our method next time. I'll help you think of something." He didn't know how to comfort him. After all, he really couldn't say much about this matter. He had only casually mentioned that girls like romance. This wasn't romance; this was wild.

"Don't keep calling me Senior. If you don't mind, since I'm a few years older than you, just call me Brother Tao." Jiang Zitao waved his hand, raised his wine glass, and clinked it with Shen Yi's, acting like a good brother.

"Junior, I won't lie to you. Right now, only you can help me. Help me think if there's any other way. I really like Xiao Shi." He downed another glass. Shen Yi also drank a little. This wine was quite miraculous, similar to the wine Feng Sibao had obtained when he first arrived at the Lifestyle Department. With one sip, his cultivation, which was originally at the Fourth Stage, Fifth Emotion, actually reached the Sixth Stage imperceptibly. Downed in one gulp, the wine turned into a warm current as soon as it entered his stomach, soothing his limbs and bones.

"Brother Tao, I actually have a method, but it might have a slight side effect. Do you want to try it?" Shen Yi suddenly thought of something. Since he was treated to a drink today, he had to offer some advice.

"What method? I don't care about side effects. As long as it can make Xiao Shi treat me a bit better, I'm willing to endure any hardship."
