Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

To make matters worse, besides the menacing beasts, Yu Liu also heard approaching footsteps. Someone was running quickly towards them; without a doubt, it was the group that had captured her.

"Ah~"

With a helpless sigh, just before the snake was about to pounce, Yu Liu suddenly transformed and returned to the book on the ground.

"I've become a book, you can't possibly eat me now, can you?" With this thought in mind, Yu Liu could only helplessly return to the book.

"Quick, quick, here it is!"

"I see flames, and they haven't gone out yet! Quick, check what's going on!"

The jade willow had transformed into a book, and with the threat gone, the snake finally lowered its guard and slowly crawled back to the fallen guard, opening its massive jaws.

But just as it was about to feast, the footsteps it had been hearing from afar finally drew closer, and a dozen people carrying torches ran quickly over. The person surrounded by them was none other than Qian Xiuyi.

From childhood to adulthood, Qian Xiuyi hated Qian Xiuya the most. As he grew up, he would compete with Qian Xiuya in everything. This time was no exception. Qian Xiuya wanted to find the little girl safely, but he would not allow it. Once Qian Xiuya's things fell into Qian Xiuyi's hands, they would not be able to return unscathed.

After a day of searching the mansion in a battle of wits with Qian Xiuya, but still no trace of Yu Liu, Qian Xiuyi, who was not a very good-tempered person, finally lost his patience and came out to search for her himself. After hearing the gunshot, he quickly brought his men to the scene.

Without being told, the servants quickly checked the situation.

"Oh no! There's a snake! A huge snake! It's eating people!"

Upon hearing that there was a snake, Qian Xiuyi immediately stopped in his tracks. He took a step back and pointed at the snake, which had already stood upright in the firelight: "Someone, quick, kill it!"

With their numbers, they weren't as easily terrified as the two guards at the beginning, who were routed by a snake. They rallied their courage, gripped their wooden sticks, and charged forward, beating the snake wildly. The snake was too big to avoid, and it was inevitable that some would get hit. The servants were also afraid, so they kept hitting it with their sticks until they were tired. The snake was beaten to the point of near death and seemed to have no strength left to do evil.

"Is he dead?"

Standing far away, Qian Xiuyi asked with a frown.

"Young Master, he's alright now." Someone replied. The servants were about to go forward to check on the fallen guard when they felt their feet hit something hard.

Yu Liu, who was stepped on: "Ouch~"

"Young Master, there's a book here!" The servant who stepped on the jade willow tree quickly looked down to check and, upon discovering it was a book, immediately exclaimed happily. They already knew why Qian Xiuyi had been looking for someone—a child had stolen a book from the young master's study. Now that a book had appeared here, it was clear that it was likely the book the young master had lost.

"Go, bring it here so I can see if it's mine."

Qian Xiuyi casually gave the order, and the servants around her hurriedly went over and retrieved the book.

Upon seeing the cover, Qian Xiuyi knew that this was her book. If the book was here, then the child who took it must be nearby!

"Men, search this area thoroughly! Dig three feet into the ground and find that thief!"

When Qian Xiuya arrived at the scene with his men, Qian Xiuyi was standing there leisurely, casually flipping through the book in her hands by the light of the torches held by the servants next to her.

Qian Xiuyai immediately recognized the book he was flipping through and a bad feeling washed over him: "Qian Xiuyi, where's the baby? You've got the book, shouldn't you give him back to me now?"

Upon hearing Qian Xiuyai's words, Qian Xiuyi glanced at him with disdain, secretly pleased that the arrogant Qian Xiuyai had finally been outmaneuvered.

"She's a thief. She's so young and already stealing. Who knows what she'll do in the future? What do you want with such scum, brother?" Qian Xiuyi said casually, pretending to flick non-existent dust off his sleeve.

"What she did was wrong. I will teach her a lesson. She is my person and it is not your place to judge her."

Because the person might be with Qian Xiuyi, Qian Xiuya was hesitant to take any action for fear of causing harm.

Knowing this, even though the person wasn't with her, Qian Xiuyi acted quite arrogantly: "Brother, I'm just giving you advice out of kindness. Seeing how much trouble you're making for her, I'm afraid that when she's really back in your hands, you might not be able to bring yourself to discipline her. I'm worried about that, so I'll discipline her for you. No need to thank me, goodbye brother."

Qian Xiuyi's brows were filled with threat. He was telling Qian Xiuya that the person was in his hands. If Qian Xiuya did anything to displease him, then he could forget about having a baby!

Qian Xiuyai watched Qian Xiuyi leave angrily. Once Qian Xiuyi disappeared from sight, the anger in Qian Xiuyai's eyes vanished in an instant, leaving only a cold indifference.

"Send someone to find out who fired the shot and interrogate them to find out what happened. I want to hear the results later."

After leaving those words, Qian Xiuyai turned and left.

Outside the Qian residence, police officers were waiting, but they dared not break in. After a few gunshots, the Qian residence fell silent, suggesting no danger. Therefore, they were not in a hurry.

"Squeak-"

The door opened, and a middle-aged man dressed as a servant came out.
