Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

The city of Leaping Sun appeared even more tranquil in the darkness. Apart from a few areas that never sleep, most of the city was silent. In such a quiet environment, the sudden gunshots were particularly jarring.

The police officers patrolling the street all looked up in the direction of the gunshot. After noticing where it was, they exchanged glances and quickly ran towards the sound.

Judging from the situation, the gunshot likely came from the chief's house. As the police's superior, the patrolling officers would naturally want to curry favor with him.

Upon hearing the gunshot, Qian Xiuya, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly stood up: "Who fired the shot?"

Only after asking did he realize that the people serving him were just as clueless as he was, so he quickly ordered, "Go and ask what happened! Never mind, I'll go myself!"

He stood up and was about to leave when the butler rushed in: "Young Master, a patrol of police officers has arrived at the door. They said they were worried about the chief's safety and came to check on the situation. What do you think we should do?"

Although Qian Dafa was so angry with Qian Xiuyi that he fell ill, the news had already been kept under control by the Qian family. The people who came were completely unaware of this. As a result, there were quite a few people who wanted to take credit. The steward could foresee that people from other places would definitely be heading this way. One or two groups were easy to deal with, but if there were too many people and Qian Dafa did not show up, the situation would be difficult to manage.

"Just make up some excuse to send them away; they won't dare to make any wild guesses!" Qian Xiuya casually ordered, then turned to leave, but stopped at the door: "Wait!"

He called out to the butler, who was about to leave.

"Fine, I've changed my mind. Tell them this..."

After listening to Qian Xiuyai's words, the butler hesitated for a moment, which was uncharacteristic of him: "Young Master, is this really a good idea?"

"Why not? If you still remember who your master is, then do as I ask!"

Qian Xiuya emphasized his tone, and the butler was startled by his gaze. He suddenly realized that he had overstepped his bounds, so he quickly nodded in agreement and hurriedly left.

Qian Xiuya ignored everything else and led his men toward the garden where the incident had occurred. The only people in the manor who were allowed to carry guns were the guards he had just transferred, but before he transferred them, he had explicitly forbidden them from firing their weapons. He didn't know what had happened, but he hoped that the child was not in danger.

Meanwhile, on Yu Liu's side, after suddenly realizing that this was an era where war could break out at any moment, and that basically anyone with a little ability could get their hands on a gun, Yu Liu suddenly felt a little scared. She had never been this scared before, even when she knew that Qian Xiuya was carrying a gun.

However, the situation left her no time to think. The crazed guard fired another shot. Yu Liu quickly formed hand seals, not caring what using her magic would reveal. Even if it exposed her inhuman identity, it was better than having her life threatened.

So, the already somewhat frantic guard saw his bullet strike a shield-like object that appeared out of nowhere, gleaming with white light. The object hovered in the air, covering the patch of grass that had been acting strangely. The bullet's immense force struck the shield, creating a few sparks, and the bullet, having lost its power, bounced off and fell into the grass.

This unscientific scene completely shocked the guard. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets, his hand holding the gun trembled uncontrollably, and his mind was filled with stories of evil spirits killing people that his mother had told him. Thinking of his elderly mother, his wife, and his son at home, the fear of being killed took over. He took a step back with his legs trembling and went limp, threw down the gun, turned and ran, shouting all the way.

"Ghost—ghost—ahhh—"

Seeing him drop the gun, Yu Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief, only then feeling the burning pain on her arm.

She raised her arm and discovered a wound about ten centimeters long on her hand. The wound was abnormally red on her forearm, and the skin even smelled burnt.

This is--

Yu Liu looked at the book she was holding in her arms. When she was writhing in pain, the book had rolled out of her arms and landed on the grass next to her. There was a small scorched spot on the yellowed pages, and next to the book was a bullet hole. It was clear that although the bullet fired by the guard had not hit Yu Liu herself, it had damaged the book.

"Why am I so unlucky!"

The burning pain in her arm and the swelling pain in her leg came at the same time. Yu Liu, who had survived the ordeal, was completely powerless and could only sigh weakly.

However, even worse was yet to come. The unfortunate guard who had been tripped by Yu Liu earlier fainted on the grass, whether from fright or hitting his head somewhere. He remained motionless in the fallen position.

Then the snake that was chasing him turned its attention to the only two people in the field who could move. It wasn't that the snake didn't want to eat the person, but it was an animal instinct that it couldn't have anything else disturbing it while it was eating. So it could only turn its head away and choose to either drive away the snake or capture Yu Liu and the guard together as its dessert.

But—the guard who fired the shot ran away, and besides the one who had fainted, only the injured Yu Liu was left at the scene.

In the instant she turned her head, she suddenly met a pair of glowing vertical pupils, and Yu Liu suddenly realized that there was another ferocious beast here!

—But they no longer had the strength to escape.
