Chapter 127: President Qin Is Here For Jiang Xun!
When Jiang Xun returned to her dorm, she decided to enhance her Purification skill while showering. Her roommates had already taken their turns in the shower by now, so Jiang Xun headed into the bathroom after greeting them briefly.
Using the sound of the shower as a cover, Jiang Xun enhanced her Purification skill by 10 points, which meant that she’d now invested 30 points into the skill.
She could see with her naked eye that many of the hairs on her body were all standing on end. Then, they were all swept away by the shower water, leaving her with very smooth skin.
After that, she was suddenly struck with what felt like a thousand needles pricking her skin. It hurt so much that she couldn’t stop herself from twitching and gritting her teeth. It was difficult to endure the pain.
When the pain finally subsided, her skin suddenly felt very itchy, but when she moved to scratch it, it hurt. And yet, if she didn’t do anything, it would itch and itch without end.!!
Seeing this, the system said, “Host, don’t scratch yourself. This level is an endurance test.Don’t touch your own skin, or you’ll leave a scar that no medical technology can treat. “You have to rely on your willpower to persevere.”
Jiang Xun gritted her teeth. “Didn’t you say that your current technology has improved and that I can be cleansed in an invisible way?”
A rare feeling of guilt appeared in the system’s voice. “That was only for the first level. The technology behind it hadn’t been effectively improved, but now it’s much better than before. It used to be much, much more painful, but at least in our current state, some people can actually handle the pain. We’re working hard to further improve.”
Jiang Xun let out a humorless chuckle at that. She couldn’t muster the strength to stand up at this moment. At this point, she couldn’t tell whether she was covered with shower water or sweat as she weakly sat on the small stool in the corner of the bathroom.
It was fortunate there was a small stool available, or else she’d have to sit on the floor.
After a long while, the painful and itchy feeling finally disappeared, and Jiang Xun heaved a sigh of relief, as if she was exhausted.
Once she washed the sweat off her body, she sat on the stool and rested for a while before channeling all her strength into her legs and standing up.
It was then that she suddenly remembered she still had one last ability she hadn’t enhanced yet—Stamina. She made a mental note to enhance it the next time she had enough Ability Points. And when she had more, she would enhance the Purification skill again.
She had clearly underestimated just how painful the process would be at 30 points. She’d initially thought that it wouldn’t be a big deal, but she’d been too overconfident.
After Jiang Xun came out of the bathroom, Daxin suddenly sniffed the air before asking, “Jiang Jiang, what kind of bath milk did you use? It smells so good.”
At Daxin’s words, Jiajia also noticed it. “Yeah, I can’t tell what kind of fragrance it is,” she commented. “It’s like the fragrance of flowers and fruits. It’s fragrant and sweet, but not too heavy. Also, the smell is very light. If you don’t pay attention, you probably won’t notice it.”
Hearing that, Haina went over to Jiang Xun and sniffed her. “Huh, it is faint.”
Jiang Xun sniffed it, and within a few seconds, the fragrance disappeared again.
“It’s gone,” Haina said in surprise.
It was then that the system piped up, “At 30 Purification skill points, the Purification skill will increase body fragrance. When the body temperature rises, a faint fragrance will appear, and as body temperature lowers, the smell will fade.”
Jiang Xun:”…”
Since when did she become the Fragrant Concubine?
“No, that’s not it,” the system interjected. “There are many different theories about the Fragrant Concubine’s scent, but it’s definitely not like yours. She has been infertile ever since she entered the palace, and there’s a high probability that she took some medicine to stimulate her natural musk. It’s not the same as your natural fragrance after getting your Purification skill to level 3. It’s not harmful to the body. It’s also rumored that her body fragrance only appears when she sweats. Your fragrance only appears when the temperature rises and has nothing to do with your sweat.”
Jiang Xun shrugged. She didn’t really care about this.
“Maybe the fragrance has dissipated,” Jiang Xun said. “I haven’t changed my shower gel either. I don’t know what happened.”
“Ugh…Even the fragrance of a beautiful woman is different,” Jiajia mourned, eyes green with envy.

In the blink of an eye, Friday had arrived once again. When Jiang Xun finished her classes, she dragged her suitcase to the villa where she would be livestreamed for “Unfulfilled Lovers.”
Because of the first episode’s livestream, most of the audience liked Jiang Xun over the other people. There were many people who were criticizing Luo Kesi and Song Tianqing.
Therefore, when the two women in question saw Jiang Xun, both of them didn’t look too good.
On Saturday, Jiang Xun woke up early again and set off for a run at 6 am on time.
This time, Jiayi didn’t go with her.
The cameraman in charge of filming her had brought a scooter with him this time, which he used to follow her around on. It could be said that he was very experienced.
At 7 am, Jiang Xun happened to be on her way back to the villa when she saw a familiar figure dragging a suitcase in front of her.
The person’s back was strikingly familiar, causing Jiang Xun to slow down and rub her eyes. She’d probably been overthinking things too much lately. She must be seeing things!
It was all because of the previous mission in which Mufeng’s Favorability Points were so easily acquired. That’s what was causing her to think of him so much these past few days.
Every time she thought of Mufeng, she couldn’t calm down.
[D*mn, Am I seeing things? Is that person the Great President Qin?]
[It’s just someone’s back. It might not be him.]
[Definitely not. Qin Yang isn’t bankrupt, and I haven’t heard of any industry losses. President Qin wouldn’t stoop so low as to personally go on a variety show to earn money for debt repayment, anyway.]
[It’s also possible that he’s just here to see Jiang Xun.]
[Can Jiang Xun’s fans let President Qin off the hook? “Accelerated Flight” was fine since they had to interact with each other, but since Jiang Xun is here in a reality show, it’s obvious that she’s not in a relationship with him. Why are you guys still making so much noise?]
[Yeah lol just pipe down?? If you shout too much, you’ll ruin Jiang Xun’s popularity.]
[Don’t give her too much credit lol. What popularity does an internet celebrity have?]
Right at that moment, the person in front seemed to have heard Jiang Xun’s footsteps behind them and stopped.
The audience waited nervously for him to turn around. Even the people who thought that Jiang Xun was too highly thought of suddenly grew anxious.
Jiang Xun subconsciously stopped and looked at the person in front of her just as the person turned around. When he saw Jiang Xun, his stern and cold lips slowly curved into a gentle arc.
[?!?!?! OMG SOMEONE PINCH ME I must be dreaming! Why am I seeing President Qin?]
[Mom, I need to go to the hospital to have my eyes checked. I think there’s something wrong with them.]
[It’s the real deal!]
[Jiangfam, let’s say it together: THE FENGJIANG CP IS REAL!!]
[May those words fill up the livechat!!!]
[The production team has done well. How did they manage to bring President Qin himself onto their show!?]
[Although I don’t believe it myself, I still want to say that he might have come because of Jiang Xun.]
[What did I just say? President Qin is here for Jiang Xun!]
