Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

As Xu Xiunian had predicted, things turned out just as he had.

"The leader of that group from that night is someone important. He's Meng Fan, the son of Meng Lin, the leader of the Qingfeng Gang. Meng Lin only has this one son, so naturally he can't just stand by and watch us send him to prison. I've driven this old guy crazy. He dared to hurt my brother. Sending him to prison is the least he can do. Meng Lin will settle things in a few days, but I'm worried that he might do something desperate in the next few days. You should keep an eye on his safety."

"Well, I see."

"Also, you're out alone, and the weather's starting to get colder lately, so be careful not to catch a cold..."

Xu Anran then gave many more instructions, which were filled with her concern for Xu Xiunian, and Xu Xiunian agreed to them all.

When Xu Anran hung up the phone, she was satisfied, thinking that even if her younger brother had changed, he hadn't changed much and was still as obedient as before. Little did she know that Xu Xiunian on the other end of the phone did not have the smile she had imagined. Instead, he remained expressionless, with terrifyingly dark eyes.

Yu Liu, the only one who witnessed this scene, said: "...Sob, I don't want to turn evil...Give me back my cute Xu Xiunian 〒▽〒."

Sensing Yu Liu's emotional change, Xu Xiunian reached out and gently stroked the pendant, his gesture carrying a hint of comfort.

"Baby, please don't hate me, okay?"

Xu Xiunian knew that his changes were wrong, but he didn't want to stop them. He wanted to protect the baby, so he had to grow up quickly.

"...I don't hate it, I'm just not used to it." Yu Liu answered hesitantly. She really wasn't used to it. Perhaps the blow of being easily subdued last time was too great. In the past few days, Xu Xiunian's apartment, which was full of medical equipment, had suddenly been filled with a lot of fitness equipment. He stopped doing medical research and started exercising like a madman. He was a doctor himself, but he didn't treat his body like his own. He exercised non-stop until he pushed his body to its limit. He even fainted once. It was only then that Yu Liu realized that apart from the research and exercise time that Xu Xiunian arranged for himself, his rest time was pitifully little.

After discovering this problem, Yu Liu took on the role of supervisor, ensuring that Xu Xiunian exercised appropriately within a reasonable timeframe.

Xu Xiunian's rosy complexion was the result of his hard work over the past few days, but his previous crazy behavior had really frightened Yu Liu.

"It's good that you don't hate me."

As long as they don't hate themselves, everything is fine. Xu Xiunian smiled broadly, his eyes crinkling like an innocent child.

Yu Liu turned her face away, her teeth aching. That's how it was; not only did she become very formidable, but her personality also became quite eccentric, sometimes making her seem like she had a split personality.

After the joy subsided, Xu Xiunian gently stroked Yu Liu's body, saying, "Baby, don't leave my side these next few days. We need to make some preparations. My brother told me about Meng Lin, the leader of the Qingfeng Gang. He will definitely come looking for me."

Xu Xiunian spoke with such certainty, as if he had already witnessed it firsthand.

Yu Liu didn't understand where his confidence came from, but she agreed.

Xu Xiunian was right; Meng Lin did indeed intend to come looking for him.

-

"That kid has the Xu family behind him, you must know that, right?"

Meng Lin was a burly middle-aged man with a scar extending from his chin to his neck that looked as if his throat had been split open, making him look particularly terrifying.

He was sitting astride the sofa, his face grim and his eyes coldly fixed on the woman kneeling on the ground.

The woman's back was hunched over, her head seemed to be buried in her chest, and her clothes were tattered, making her look quite disheveled.

"……Yes."

After being tortured for two days, the woman no longer dared to lie.

"Then how dare you provoke me?!" Meng Lin was furious upon hearing this reply.

"No, he... he's not favored at home, he's all alone outside, there's no one with him, he's fine..."

Jiang Xinyan nervously swallowed, and stammered an explanation.

"Nothing's wrong?! This is what you call nothing's wrong?! My entire gang, which dominates this region, was almost forced to disband by them, and how do you explain that?"

He raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Xinyan's neck tightly, forcing her to look up at him. Meng Lin asked with a ferocious expression.

"I...I..." Jiang Xinyan struggled to breathe, now facing the threat of death. "No...no...it's not because he's the young master of the Xu family!! He's really not favored, it's because, it's because of that pendant!!! That really is something with magical power!! It can flow with spiritual spring water, which can quickly heal wounds, and soaking in it can even prolong life. That treasure recognized Xu Xiunian as its master, that's why he's valued!!"

Jiang Xinyan looked at him earnestly: "Everything I said is true. Please, for the sake of our past relationship, let me go."

Meng Lin carefully observed the expression in Jiang Xinyan's eyes and finally had to confirm that what she had just said was probably true. Could it be that the so-called spiritual spring really existed? When Jiang Xinyan was still his mistress, she had mentioned this pendant to him in order to seek revenge. At the time, he had just taken it as a joke and agreed to get the pendant back to make Jiang Xinyan happy. Even now, in his current state of destitution, Jiang Xinyan still insisted on this claim. Could it be that what she said was all true?

If it's true, it's not surprising that Xu Xiunian received such treatment. If the pendant is really that important, he could snatch it and threaten Xu Anran to save his son.

Just as Xu Xiunian had predicted, Meng Lin had indeed decided to come looking for them.

Xu Xiunian wasn't confident he could completely control Jiang Xinyan's personality, but he at least had some understanding of it. Jiang Xinyan was inherently selfish and self-serving. The reason Meng Fan was arrested was because of her arrangements, and it was easy to guess that Meng Lin would disregard their relationship and take his anger out on her. Naturally, the selfish and self-serving Jiang Xinyan wouldn't allow herself to actually become a prisoner, so she would definitely try to divert attention and shift the blame elsewhere. And what could be most noteworthy around him? Only the spiritual spring in the pendant.

Although this was just a guess, Xu Xiunian was 90% sure, so he made a lot of preparations before Meng Lin's people arrived, fearing that if something went wrong, he would lose his baby forever.

Yu Liu watched him busily making arrangements, spreading out a large net to await the enemy's arrival.
