Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 247 The Puppet Who Usurped the Nest

Tianyuan Continent.

In the Southern Continent of Hongzhou, the last inn on the road to the Endless Demon Forest was packed with people.

The inn's lobby was packed with people. The few tables were occupied by well-dressed, handsome men and women with an air of nobility. These people were clearly divided into several groups, and those who were grouped together wore the same clothes, making them easily distinguishable from the others.

Outside the inn, several giant arks were parked, filled with sect disciples sitting cross-legged, seizing every moment to cultivate.

Although the elite disciples in the inn were drinking and eating, the atmosphere was still somewhat tense, except for one table where the atmosphere was very "lively".

There were four people sitting around this table, unlike the other tables which were crowded with people. There were two men and two women. The one in the lead was a handsome young man with delicate features. He held a folding fan decorated with gold and jade, and his peach blossom eyes were full of affection. He looked dashing and charming, the type that young girls would like the most.

The other man was burly and imposing. Even when he was sitting, you could tell that he was much taller than the average person. He was as big as a bear, but his brows revealed a kind of honesty and simplicity, making him look like a very honest person.

The other two women presented a completely opposite contrast. The smiling woman wore a bright red cloak, the white fur on the collar of which was clearly made from the pelts of the fox spirits from Lingmiao Mountain. These fox spirits were notoriously vengeful, their leader being an old fox spirit in the late Nascent Soul stage; most people wouldn't dare openly wear the pelts of their descendants! This woman not only wore it, but flaunted it constantly. The hairpins in her hair and the ornaments she wore were all priceless. Her fair skin clearly belonged to a lady of high birth, and her meticulously drawn face, with its deliberately lined eyes, was full of allure as she stared intently at the leading man seated beside her.

The other woman's attitude was the opposite. She was a girl who looked only twelve or thirteen years old, with delicate skin, but her clothes were very simple. Her gray cloth dress looked like a beggar's outfit. She sat there with a cold face, staring into the void, not saying a word or eating anything, looking somewhat out of place with the atmosphere around her.

However, nobody really cared about her.

"Brother Ling, have some."

Yu Qingxian picked up the food in front of her and put it into Ling Miao'an's bowl. Her chopsticks seemed to accidentally touch Ling Miao'an, and her legs under the table also rubbed against Ling Miao'an restlessly.

Ling Miao'an immediately understood, ate the food Qing'er had picked up, and her feet under the table started to wander: "The food Qing'er picked for me is just so delicious."

Unfortunately, Wang Zhuang, who was sitting at the same table, was simple-minded. Upon hearing this, he immediately frowned and said, "But senior brother, this dish is made with preserved mustard greens. Don't you hate the taste of it the most?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Miao'an froze instantly.

"Furthermore, Senior Brother, you can't spoil Junior Sister like this. When we're out and about, she can't be as casual as she is inside the sect. It's not appropriate for her to call you Brother Ling in front of so many people."

He seemed to be trying to reason with her, but Yu Qing immediately exploded.

"Wangzhuang!!!"

Unfortunately, Wang Zhuang, being so simple-minded, wasn't afraid of his junior sister at all. He immediately frowned and corrected her, "Junior sister, you should call me second senior brother!"

"Second Senior Brother? You're not worthy!"

As the only daughter of the sect leader, Yu Qing was pampered and spoiled since childhood. She couldn't stand others saying bad things about her. Moreover, her second senior brother was usually the most annoying person, and almost everyone in the sect disliked him. Therefore, although Yu Qing spoke boldly, she was certain that her senior brother would help her.

really……

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Ling Miao'an stepped in to mediate, pointing at Wang Zhuang and saying, "Look at you, look at you! You were just talking about Junior Sister, but look, with you two arguing, we've really made a fool of ourselves!"

When Wang Zhuang looked back, he saw people from other sects subtly observing him. He immediately gave up and poured himself a large bowl of wine.

"Qing'er, don't be angry anymore. You know that's just how your second senior brother is!" Ling Miao'an turned around and comforted Yu Qing.

"Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, you only know how to side with Second Senior Brother!!" Yu Qing was dissatisfied with Ling Miao'an's behavior of protecting Wang Zhuang. She stomped her foot, turned around, and ran out of the inn at lightning speed!

Ling Miao'an smiled helplessly, just like a senior brother who dotes on his junior brothers and sisters.

His gaze fell on the other woman sitting beside him, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes. He coldly ordered, "Yu Liu, go and follow Junior Sister, and protect her safety!"

"Yes!"

Yu Liu nodded in agreement, stood up, and chased after Yu Qing until they disappeared outside the inn.

If you look closely at the face of this so-called Yu Liu, you will find that she really looks a lot like Yu Liu. Her face has grown up a little bit, but the changes are almost negligible.

The real Yu Liu is also in this inn.

She huddled in a corner of the inn, wearing the same gray cloth dress as the departing "Jade Willow," her long hair loose, her brows furrowed with sorrow, and clutching a long tail feather in her arms—the very red feather that A-Ning had left behind, which the Jade Emperor had returned to her.

Yu Liu's gaze remained fixed on Ling Miao'an, a rare hint of hatred flickering in her pure eyes. Her current state, like that of a trapped beast, made her eyes redden, and she felt a mix of grievance and helplessness.

No one could find her, and no one could help her. She was trapped, and everything she did was in vain.

Watching Ling Miao sip her drink with ease, Yu Liu felt a little dazed, and unconsciously recalled the nightmare from a year ago!

That really is... exactly the same as before.

No, it was even more terrifying than the one she had experienced before, because this time, even her existence was erased by Ling Miao'an.

Yu Liu never imagined she would experience that kind of pain again. Perhaps it was because she had traveled through so many worlds and the days she spent with Aning had always been warm and cozy, which lowered her guard. The smooth sailing made her complacent, and as a result, she fell into despair after entering this world with high expectations.

I stumbled just before my wish was about to come true.

Just one step away.

But in an instant, all previous efforts were in vain, and the whole game was lost.

Yu Liu clutched her head in anguish. She was in a spirit state, and all the physical pain was actually gone. All her suffering was now a product of her imagination.

In a hazy dream, Yue Sheng's worried words from before he came to this world seemed to still echo in his ears: "This is a broken world. The Reincarnation Well has almost no control over this world. I don't know if sending you there was the right or wrong thing to do, but... it will make you grow up quickly. Remember, the world you are about to go to is formed from a storybook. It is a world where the protagonist is everything. You must be careful! Be careful in everything you do. I'll wait for you to come back!"
