Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Everyone sees a different picture in the Mirror of Inquiry. Whenever Little Golden Crow mentions this mirror, his face is full of pain. But it is undeniable that this mirror allows the leaders of Heaven to see their true nature at all times, thus ensuring that they have a righteous heart.

I don't know when it happened, but by chance, I befriended a little golden crow and asked to borrow the Heart-Questioning Mirror from it. Actually, I was just trying it out.

Yan Ning didn't expect to actually succeed.

Jinzi wasn't a stingy fairy. Although she didn't know what foolish thing her friend had done to be so foolish as to use the Mirror of Inquiry to see his true self, aside from the discomfort, the mirror was quick and effective, so it wasn't a bad method.

Yan Ning stood in front of a mirror that was as tall as a person. The mirror was square, with gold-carved dragon decorations inlaid on the edges. The mirror surface was more like a bronze mirror, and it could only reflect a blurry image.

After standing there for a while, a vortex appeared on the mirror, and an old man walked out of it.

"I am the spirit of this Mirror of Inquiry. If you wish to see your true self, please follow me."

He gestured to his reflection in the mirror.

Yan Ning hesitated before going inside.

"follow me."

The two walked through a long tunnel and finally stopped in a void.

"Please make yourself at home, I'll be leaving now."

The spirit lingered in this space, leaving behind a single sentence before its figure gradually disappeared.

Yan Ning looked back, and the path she had come from had disappeared.

He was now alone in this dazzling space filled with light and shadow. The surroundings were empty, seemingly without end.

He gradually calmed down and sat down on the ground.

At first, he couldn't calm down at all; his mind was racing with all sorts of random thoughts. Most of them were about the stone: What happened to it? Where was it? Who picked it up?

He knew absolutely nothing about any of this!

Perhaps she will find a better master than herself, or perhaps... she will become an unclaimed stone.

He was worried and anxious.

Time ticked by, never stopping for anyone. He was restless and agitated in this space, wanting to destroy everything, and the space accepted it all.

He vented his anger irrationally, and when he was exhausted, he collapsed to the ground, his mind blank.

Gradually, he learned to control his emotions and also learned how to keep his emotions unmoved by external things.

He regained control of his body.

The long time passed by like this. At first, he would lose his temper, but later, he became like a stagnant pool, no longer able to stir up any ripples.

...Of course, this is just an illusion. Perhaps some things will no longer affect him, but he still remembers the mistake he made back then, and the stone he threw away in anger.

"It's time for the guests to leave."

No one knows how many years have passed; the long period of time felt like the end of a lifetime. Then, the Mirror Spirit appeared.

When she reappeared outside, Yan Ning had an expression as if she had been through another world.

However, what appeared to be a lifetime in the mirror was, in the eyes of the little golden crow, merely a single day.

"How's that? Do you feel like you've had an epiphany? Everything suddenly becomes clear, it's just that your head hurts!"

The little golden crow curiously approached.

Then they were hit.

Before he could get a reply from Yan Ning, he saw his aura rise steadily. The free energy in the palace seemed to be swept away by a storm, gathering together in large swaths, as if being sucked up by a vacuum cleaner, and quickly rushing into Yan Ning's body.

"Wow..."

The little golden crow was filled with envy. It is a well-known fact that one's state of mind can lead to enlightenment, and sometimes enlightenment is accompanied by advancement, but it is relatively difficult to achieve this by relying on external forces.

The little golden crow has yet to feel this power, and unexpectedly, its good friend beat it to it.

……

Yan Ning has changed.

The few friends who frequently interact with him all share this feeling.

He became more powerful, but also more indifferent.

In the end, he made the same choice as his father and brother—joining the battlefield of the Outer God Realm.

His two fathers died in battle here, and his relationship with his elder brother grew increasingly distant. To avenge their fathers, his brother came here. And he, from this day forward, would also don armor and fight here.

Unlike his brother, however, he was not seeking revenge for his father.

He just suddenly felt like doing it.

The stone that was lost back then, no one knows who picked it up. There's been no news of the stone in the realm of gods, and no one knows who hid it so well.

Suppressing her disappointment, Yan Ning swung her sword and severed the wing of a birdman.

……

Years later, when Yu Liu awoke from her slumber, Yan Ning had already become a renowned god in the divine realm—the Supreme God of the Underworld.

Yu Liu was completely bewildered by the unfamiliar environment.

It's like when you wake up from a nap and a thousand years have passed, everything has changed, and you've become a complete country bumpkin, feeling uneasy and clueless.

The time in between is a blank for you, but for the other person, it is something they have actually experienced. Yu Liu can't accept this disparity for a while.

not to mention……

Why was she in a bird's nest when she woke up? Someone tell her, what happened to being tied around Yan Ning's neck? How did it fall off? Or was it thrown away? Using someone and then discarding them, crossing the river and then destroying the bridge—that's utterly inhumane!

No matter how much I cursed in my heart, the most important thing right now was to find Aning.

Yu Liu's intuition told her this, even though she really didn't want to see the faithless man who had abandoned her.

She was currently in an extremely large bird's nest. Her vision was limited in her stone form, making it impossible to see what was happening outside. After waiting a while and not finding the nest's owner, Yu Liu quietly transformed back into human form. Once she straightened up, she realized the bird's nest was truly enormous.

It's big enough to build a villa with an estate on it.

The bird's nest is made entirely of twigs, covered with colorful stones, occasionally interspersed with more ordinary, less attractive stones. The twigs used to make the nest are also lush and green, looking more like jade than twigs.

It's clear that the owner of the bird's nest is someone who appreciates beauty.

Yu Liu groped her way to the edge of the bird's nest and peeked down. It was a towering tree, probably over a hundred meters above the ground; a fall from that height would send a person sprawling into a puddle of mud.

Since arriving in this world, Yu Liu's willpower has been restricted, and she can no longer use most of it. Under these circumstances, the willpower that she can mobilize within her body may not be enough to support her safe arrival on the ground.

Yu Liu felt she should think things through more carefully; returning to the ground was simply impossible at the moment. She slowly withdrew her head, intending to go back to the bird's nest and continue pretending to be an ordinary stone.

However, the world's intense malice was already rushing towards her.

"Wow—"

The owner of the bird's nest has returned.

It doesn't mind if there are one or two unsightly stones in the bird's nest, but it does mind if a grown person is in its own home.

Moreover, this person was acting suspiciously, so he must not be a good person.

The idea flashed through my mind: a colorful peacock with a crest of feathers on its head stretched out its long, sharp claws and grabbed at Yu Liu.

Yu Liu watched helplessly as the peacock's claws drew closer and closer. She quickly took two steps back and fell off the bird's nest.

Rather than being pierced by bird claws, I'd rather jump down myself.

The sudden gust of wind whipped up as she plummeted past her ears. Yu Liu watched the trees recede into the distance, trying to gauge the distance. She needed to use her willpower to land safely just before she reached the ground.

Hey, what are you doing?

A voice suddenly came from beside me. "Learning from those humans in the mortal world to do that... what was it again... oh right, bungee jumping! Are you bungee jumping?"

Yu Liu: "...There are ropes that hold you in place when bungee jumping."

"You're not tied up, so you're not...? Then what are you doing?"

The other party was still very curious.

Just as Yu Liu was about to answer, she suddenly realized that they were almost at the ground.

"Aaaaaah—I just accidentally fell down..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was frozen in mid-air.

"Oh, so it fell by accident. Why didn't you say so earlier? Were you scared?"

A shirtless man with long, flowing silver hair approached Yu Liu with a broad smile.

"You must have been scared. You look young, so whose child are you? How could you be so careless? Oh, there's a bird's nest up there. Are you a bird-person? No, wait, are you a descendant of that bird up there?"

Yu Liu sized up the other person and saw what he looked like; he was still a novice.

That mythical beast that loves to carry people, no wonder it's so nosy.

"That's a peacock."

"..." Shu Hu smiled awkwardly and pursed his lips.

The peacock's combat power ranks among the top of all mythical beasts; it's not someone to be trifled with.

Yu Liu slowly managed to land. "Thank you for your help earlier. Since we met today, I'd like to ask you something. Do you know anyone named Yan Ning?"

"Yan...Ning..." Shu Hu's tone was somewhat unfocused. "It seems there really is someone with that name. What do you need him for?"

Upon hearing this question, Yu Liu instantly gritted her teeth: "I'll settle the score with him!!"

"...Settle...the accounts..."

Shu Hu's tone became even more arrogant. "I advise you not to think about it anymore, but if you want to see him, I can take you to see him."

As for whether the other party would be willing to meet the little guy in front of him, he couldn't be sure.

Yu Liu didn't understand why Shu Hu would say that, but then she realized that something must have happened during those years for Shu Hu to say such a thing.

"Okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Little one, what's your name?"

Shuhu strode forward on all fours, flapping its wings.

“My name is Liu’er.” Yu Liu smiled and said the name offhand.

"how about you?"

"I am Zhengze, a happy Shuhu."

"Regular expressions..."

Yu Liu instantly thought of Zhengze, whom she knew. She carefully examined the person in front of her. The person's features were vaguely familiar, and they looked a lot like that person.

Could this Shuhu Lake be the one I'll encounter later? Forced to endlessly cycle through reincarnation, destined for a tragic end in every lifetime, what did he do?

Happy Shuhu Lake, do you even know what your future holds...?

"Hey, what's with that look? It's like you're looking down on me."

Zhengze's eyes slanted to the side, a smile on his face.

Yu Liu: "How could that be? I'm not looking down on you, I'm looking at your future. Do you know how miserable your future will be?"

"...I suddenly really don't want to drive you anymore, can't you say something nice?"

“I was telling the truth.”

"Nonsense. Let me tell you, no one in this world can see another person's future, not even God."

"Yes, I agree with that, but I really see your future."

"...Why don't you go downstairs? I'm going to look for someone else."

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more. Just take me to find Aning right now!"

"..."

……

Shuhu flapped its wings and galloped through the sea of ​​clouds, effortlessly bringing Yuliu to a stop in front of a palace.

"Stop, what are you doing?"

The heavenly soldiers guarding the gate stopped them.

"Um, could you please help me inform the Lord Tai Ming? One of us needs to see Lord Tai Ming about something. I'm carrying this little one on my back. She says she knows Lord Tai Ming."

The celestial soldiers guarding the gate glanced at Yu Liu, but Yu Liu did not suspect that they were bullying her. Instead, they politely clasped their hands in a fist salute, softening their tone: "I'm sorry, the Heavenly Lord went to the Outer Divine Realm yesterday and is not here now. Please come back in half a month."

"Oh oh oh."

Zhengze nodded repeatedly, thanked the heavenly soldiers and generals, and then turned and left with Yu Liu.

"You heard it too, here's the situation. Where do you live? I'll take you home first, and you can come back to visit in half a month. If Lord Taiming goes to the Outer Divine Realm, he usually comes back every half month."

Zhengze slowly walked on the clouds, passing by one palace after another.

"...I have no home."

Yu Liu tugged at his fur, somewhat embarrassed. Why did he have to come at such an inopportune time! He just left yesterday!

"No home? You're so pitiful. Where did you live before?"

Zhengze couldn't find a way to settle Yuliu for the time being.

“I didn’t live anywhere. I fell into a deep sleep for some special reasons. When I woke up, I found myself in the same place I used to live. I don’t know how long I slept. The only person I remember, Aning, isn’t here…”

"...You're even more pitiful. Fine, fine, I'll take pity on you and take you home with me."

Zhengze's home is on a floating island far from the Heavenly Court. The island is divided into many cave dwellings, and Zhengze is not the only one living there.

Yu Liu needs to live with Zheng Ze.
