Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

"Sigh~ I like her so much, why did she choose such a poor guy? Was it because I didn't give her enough? What's so good about that poor guy? He's not good enough for her, so beautiful and generous. We're a match made in heaven, so why didn't she choose me? Sigh~ Life~"

Lan Ziyuan silently peered out from the entrance of his cave, muttering to himself.

Yu Liu was practically begging to kneel before him. "Which TV drama did you see in the mortal realm that quoted this line? It's so cheesy! And if you're so capable, why don't you say it to Fairy Jiao Han? What kind of skill is it to keep babbling on and on, polluting my ears?"

Yu Liu slumped in a chair in Lan Ziyuan's cave, covering her ears in unbearable pain.

The cave dwellings are all equipped with soundproof arrays, so no matter how loudly Lan Ziyuan speaks on this side, Fairy Jiaohan on the other side won't be able to hear him.

Ultimately, this guy is a coward, just not obviously so.

"Sigh~ You wouldn't understand how I feel. Let me tell you, the second male lead in this drama I've been watching lately is exactly like me. We're both devoted supporting characters, both rich and handsome, and in the end, we both get dumped by the female lead~~ How come we're so unlucky~"

"..."

Yu Liu recalled Lan Ziyuan's background and ruthlessly exposed him. "The rich and handsome guys in TV dramas all live in mansions and have countless servants to serve them. You don't seem to have any of that. Apart from your identity, you don't have anything else to offer."

This time, Lan Ziyuan was speechless.

"Okay, I admit I lack these things, but I'm still better than that guy next door, right?!" He pointed to himself, then to Shuhu outside, whose face was flushed and whose whole body was turning red.

"Why can that guy win the fairy's favor, but I can't? He's just a silly, happy-go-lucky guy, why is he luckier than me?!"

Lan Ziyuan was extremely indignant.

“Uh…” Yu Liu thought for a moment and answered seriously, “Although his status is a little lower, he has a positive attitude towards life, is helpful, and has a good personality. Well… at least he’s better than you!”

"You've really hurt me!" Lan Ziyuan clutched his chest.

"So what if you get hit? You've already hit enough. You certainly don't need this one more blow, right?"

"..."

Lan Ziyuan has been spying on him for two days now. He can't even care about cultivating anymore. He just spends his days feeling sorry for himself. But actually, his mental state is not bad. It seems that he has already emerged from the shadow of heartbreak.

In Yu Liu's opinion, Lan Ziyuan didn't necessarily like Fairy Jiaohan that much. Perhaps it was because Fairy Jiaohan was a good person and had a great reputation, like a celebrity in the mortal world, receiving a lot of fans. In Yu Liu's view, Lan Ziyuan was probably a die-hard fan of Fairy Jiaohan.

Although he fantasized about having a beautiful fairy, he knew it was an unrealistic fantasy, so he didn't invest much emotion in her and could easily extricate himself from the relationship.

"But... I really envy him." He sighed as he looked at Fairy Jiaohan and Zhengze outside.

Yu Liu nodded in agreement. She had to admit that she was impressed by Zhengze's luck.

Since moving out, Yu Liu's daily routine has become spying on Fairy Jiaohan and Zhengze's interactions with Lan Ziyuan. After observing for two days, Yu Liu discovered that not only was Zhengze deeply in love with Fairy Jiaohan, but Fairy Jiaohan also seemed to have some feelings for Zhengze.

After all, Zhengze's behavior was too obvious. He would stutter whenever he spoke to Fairy Jiaohan, but he was perfectly normal when speaking to others. When the two of them were alone... oh no, anyway, when they were alone together, he would easily blush, and the way he looked at Fairy Jiaohan was like that of a shy and timid young wife. The adoration in his eyes was obvious, and as long as Fairy Jiaohan wasn't stupid, she would definitely understand.

If she understands something but pretends not to, and teases the regular expression from time to time, that speaks volumes.

Yu Liu felt like she was watching a TV series, with the main character right beside her. She knew the ending, but not the process, and was filled with curiosity. Uh… it's just that she'd somewhat forgotten about the one at home…

If Yan Ning finds out about this in the future, I wonder how much she'll cry. It's just a tragic thought.

As Fairy Jiaohan predicted, the dragon indeed did not give up its revenge. However, her open and aboveboard act of protecting Zhengze also reached the dragon's ears, and the dragon knew everything, so it changed its plans.

Zhengze was just an insignificant nobody, and the dragon was only taking its anger out on him. Since the main character himself delivered himself to his door, why should he care about this nobody?

……

"What are you doing?"

The sound of hooves hitting the ground stopped, and Yu Liu turned around to see Zheng Ze had arrived at some point.

"Just spacing out, I'm bored!"

Observing Zhengze and Fairy Jiaohan is like eating dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and Yu Liu feels that she is already full.

"Hey, what brings you here? Aren't you going to be affectionate with Fairy Jiaohan?"

Yu Liu teased.

"W-What are you saying?!" Upon hearing the name Fairy Jiaohan, Zhengze immediately stammered, his face turning red again. "Wh-what intimacy? We...we have absolutely no relationship!!"

"Okay, okay, I know you two have no relationship. What I wanted to say was, wasn't she always protecting you? Where is she now? Why are you all alone?"

Yu Liu's eyes held a smile, but she was secretly suppressing her laughter, which was quite difficult for her.

“What do you mean by ‘close protection’? She… she didn’t mean that.” Zhengze said embarrassedly. “There’s no danger here. That dragon seems to have given up on revenge. Plus, her master sent her a message saying that she should go back and find her if she needs anything, so she left first.”

"Oh, I see." Yu Liu patted the seat next to her. "Come sit down with me."

Leaning against a large tree, Lan Ziyuan, who had been thoroughly fed the dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) by Zhengze and Fairy Jiaohan, let out a cold snort.

"What's up with him?"

"I'm a little bloated from eating, but don't worry about it."

Yu Liu had a premonition that Fairy Jiao Han's protection was definitely not over yet. After all, it had only been two days, and it was impossible to tell whether the dragon would retaliate or not. Moreover, the feelings that had been cultivated in just two days were not deep enough, and something else was bound to happen between the two of them.

But Yu Liu never expected that this matter would also affect her.

Upon being ambushed, Yu Liu had only one thought in her mind: Damn it, the security in Heaven is getting worse and worse!!!

Moreover, the place where she was ambushed was the very place Lan Ziyuan had provided for her to stay—this very cave. She was asleep when she was attacked!

Isn't this a miscarriage of justice?!
