Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 267 The Puppet Who Usurped the Nest

With the protagonist's halo, the twin swords, which showed signs of merging, were simply unstoppable. With a simple slash, they directly dispersed the purple-black lightning that was attacking Ling Miao'an and quickly approached the dark cloud that was emitting the lightning.

Holding her baby, Ling Chuqing retreated nearly a hundred meters in the opposite direction from Ling Miao'an the instant the purplish-black lightning appeared, looking at the dark clouds in the sky with some apprehension. He had been fortunate enough to experience this kind of purplish-black tribulation lightning before, when he advanced to the Mahayana stage. The power contained in this tribulation lightning was nearly a hundred times greater than that of ordinary tribulation lightning. Back then, with his physical body, he could withstand it alone, but now, cultivating with his soul, he feared tribulation lightning the most; it had almost become his nemesis.

If he gets caught in the purplish-black lightning, he might not be able to take care of the baby, and it would be bad if the baby got hurt.

Yu Liu's expression was very solemn. She looked at the two swords, one purple and one blue, in the sky and was puzzled. Although the two swords looked powerful, they were still products of this world. The tribulation lightning was supposed to be descended by the Great Dao. How could it be blocked by these two swords?

Just as the longsword was about to pierce the dark clouds, a beam of light suddenly rose from the black clouds, illuminating them and brightening the entire sky. After only a few seconds, the light disappeared, and a white bolt of lightning suddenly extended from the clouds. The lightning struck the flying swords, collided with their energy, and quickly shattered it. The lightning then extended through the hilts of the swords, curved, and struck the immobilized Ling Miao'an.

"puff--"

Arcs of electricity crackled around his body as an incredibly powerful current surged into his internal organs, forcefully crushing his viscera. Ling Miao'an immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood, which, mixed with the flesh and blood inside his body, looked utterly terrifying.

Her mind was already starting to feel dizzy, and the intense pain couldn't wake her sleeping brain. Ling Miao'an's vision began to blur, and she fell heavily to the ground, spitting out another mouthful of blood!

Blood splattered as he fell into the array of materials.

It was like a drop of water being thrown into hot oil. The spiritual energy of the entire formation began to boil. Each material resonated with the others, gradually forming a thick protective shield. Lightning bolts struck down from the dark clouds in the sky, but they couldn't break through this shield. The resurrection technique continued to operate, and the girl in the center slowly opened her eyes.

When the girl's vision cleared, the dark clouds disappeared into the horizon as quickly as they had appeared, as if nothing had happened.

"Xintong!!!"

Seeing the person she had been longing for wake up, no longer with her eyes tightly closed, she stood up lively and curiously looked around. It had been so long since she had seen her so vibrant. Zhao Man was overwhelmed with emotion, her hands trembling as she excitedly called out the name she had kept buried in her heart for so long.

"Ah Man!"

The two embraced each other tightly, their silence speaking volumes.

Yu Liu slowly approached Ling Miao'an, staring intently at the ball of light around Ling Miao'an's heart. The ball of light seemed to breathe, rising and falling with Ling Miao'an's breath.

Although the ball of light was only the size of a fist, Yu Liu sensed that it contained immense energy, ready to erupt at any moment.

Yu Liu suspected that it might just be the protagonist's halo!

Ling Miao'an had been severely injured by lightning. His aura protected him from death, but he had fallen into a deep coma. After kicking Ling Miao'an twice and realizing that he wouldn't wake up, Yu Liu reached out her hand towards the protagonist's aura on his chest. Before she could touch the glowing orb, her outstretched hand was blocked by another large, wheat-colored hand with a healthy sheen.

Yu Liu watched helplessly as the protagonist's halo, which had tormented her for so long, was easily taken away, played with in the palm of someone's hand, and then disappeared from that person's palm.

"Although this thing has already consumed most of its power, it is still very powerful. Given your current situation, it's best not to act recklessly."

The ball of light vanished from his palm, and the man seemed to chuckle softly, looking at Yu Liu as he spoke. He was dressed in white, holding a blank folding fan, and sported an oddly shaped buzz cut—but that wasn't the point. The point was…

"Junran?! It's you?!"

Yu Liu was a little dazed. It had been a long time since she had seen Jun Ran. A long time had passed since their last parting. Yu Liu would occasionally think of him, but she had never seen him before. She never expected to meet him in this twisted world.

"Hmm, don't be so surprised~"

Junran closed his folding fan, used the tip to lift Yuliu's chin, and imitated the wicked smile of a male lead in a TV drama: "Beauty, it's been a long time. Did you miss me?"

Without waiting for Yu Liu's reply, he continued, "I couldn't sleep because I missed you so much, so I followed my heart and searched for you in this vast world. Now I've finally found you~"

He spoke these words in a strained voice, which inexplicably made Yu Liu feel nauseous.

"Ugh..." Yu Liu made a vomiting gesture: "Tell the truth!"

"Alright." Junran's expression instantly turned serious: "I'm here to help you!"

He shook his palm, where a ball of light lay quietly. "Of course, helping you is just a side thing. I just received a mission and need to bring it back so that it won't be wasted after you exhaust its energy. Also, it prevents you from touching the protagonist's halo with your soul body as if you're afraid of getting hurt because you're not skilled enough!"

He muttered a few complaints, then suddenly kicked Ling Miao'an at his feet: "Oh right, and him too! The boss said we have to make arrangements for him, to send him back to where he came from. Once he's gone, the world will slowly return to normal!"

Yu Liu keenly caught the information in his words: "...Boss?"

"Yes, boss!" Junran nodded, and seeing Yu Liu's puzzled look, he explained, "It's Yue Sheng. Didn't she pay me 80 Glazed Coins to protect you last time? After I went through so much trouble to get back to the God Realm, the boss said I wasn't doing a good job and deducted my pay. In the end, I didn't have much money, so I had to stay and work for her! Although she looks a bit manly, she's incredibly generous. Yue Sheng is a really good boss!"

Yu Liu twitched her lips, not expecting this turn of events.

Jun Ran didn't stay long. After agreeing to meet again in the God Realm, Jun Ran picked up Ling Miao'an and prepared to leave.

Yu Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief. All the pent-up feelings in her heart were dispelled, and she looked up at the sky, feeling more relaxed than ever before.

My wish has been fulfilled, but I wonder if the readers are satisfied?
