Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 203 The Princess's Embroidered Robe Has Come to Life!!!

"I'm not familiar with Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan, so it's understandable that I didn't notice these things. However, as their son, Lan Fengzi couldn't possibly be unaware of them. Moreover, from the very beginning, Lan Fengzi never thought of saving Uncle Lan and Aunt Lan. I've heard that before he went mad, Lan Fengzi was extremely filial. I think now that he's come to his senses, he couldn't possibly have become someone who doesn't care about his own parents!"

Zhengze's argument was logical and well-founded. Yu Liu tilted her head and thought for a moment, but couldn't find any rebuttal. She couldn't very well tell him that the current Blue Madman was her A Ning, not the original Blue Madman, and that the original Blue Madman had probably long since disappeared due to a cultivation deviation. What if Zhengze mistook A Ning for a possessing villain?

Because it wasn't Blue Madman himself, and he had no connection with his parents, and they were complete strangers he'd never even met, how could he possibly care!

But these words couldn't be said, and Yu Liu was at a loss for words, unsure how to explain.

"Hmm, that makes a lot of sense." Yan Ning nodded calmly. "So, what do you want to do?"

When Yan Ning turned the question around, Zhengze was immediately stunned. Wasn't he the one who was questioning the two of them just now?

"No, what do you mean, 'what do I want to do'? I'm the one asking you! What are you going to do?!"

Shaking his head to clear his mind of the jumbled thoughts, Zhengze stared intently at Yan Ning with a serious expression.

Although we don't know exactly how that spirit-like little embroidered girl appeared, we're certain she listens to Lan Fengzi. Therefore, there are some things we still need to discuss with Lan Fengzi.

“From beginning to end, you’ve never told the truth. You’ve been playing me for a fool, openly and brazenly, without even fear of me exposing you! Do you think I’m stupid, or are you so confident that you’re not afraid at all?”

"What? We're telling the truth! Who lied to you or played you for a fool?"

Yu Liu felt wronged, her eyes filled with indignation: "If you say that again, I won't save you!"

If all else fails, I'll just not make the wish, hmph!

"Save me?" Zhengze sneered and turned his head away. "You still weren't telling the truth!"

Zhengze's attitude fueled Yu Liu's anger. She rolled up her sleeves, wanting to take action but feeling it wasn't worth it. In the end, she could only give Yan Ning's clothes a hard tug.

Yan Ning chuckled and reached out to grab the sleeve of the embroidered dress: "Baby, stop making a fuss, or the dress will tear!"

Revealing something in public is indecent.

With her hands bound and unable to vent her anger, Yu Liu simply pressed her entire body against Yan Ning, secretly pouting, clearly displeased.

Yan Ning sighed helplessly, stroking the embroidered clothes in her arms with a faint smile in her eyes, but she spoke to Zhengze below: "Baby is right, what we told you is true."

Just as Zhengze was about to speak again, Yan Ning preemptively said, "When you say we deceived you, you mean the Second Princess's appearance, right?"

"...Yes! The second princess looks exactly like her..." Zhengze glanced at the eldest princess, whose five senses were sealed and who was completely unaware: "...except for the temperament. The princess is telling the truth, but you lied to me and said the second princess is fat!!"

Hearing this, Yu Liu shifted in Yan Ning's arms, somewhat puzzled: "She's a fat person!"

Yan Ning smiled faintly: "Yes, she is a fat woman. It's just that she has been given a clever illusion. Cultivators and mortals with low cultivation levels will be deceived by the illusion and think that the second princess looks just like the eldest princess."

But no one seems to think that the second princess eats so much meat every day. Even if she really looked exactly like the eldest princess before, with so much fat, how can she maintain the same figure as the eldest princess, but become increasingly frail, panting after walking just a few steps, and getting heavier and heavier? Is this really normal?

No one considered it, and naturally no one noticed anything unusual.

"An illusion?!"

Upon hearing this reason, Zhengze was taken aback, and then felt somewhat embarrassed. He had just been so confident that they had lied to him, but it turned out he had been fooled by a trick without realizing it, and had even blurted it out unknowingly…

"Then... what's going on with Uncle Lan and the others?"

To avoid making another blunder, Zhengze decided to get to the bottom of things and clarify the whole situation first.

"That?!" Yan Ning replied nonchalantly, despite Yu Liu's slight nervousness. "I'm not really Lan Ming, how would I know?"

"Eh?!!"

This is a regular expression for surprise.

"What did you say?!"

This is the jade willow, which is a tangled mess of fairies.

Giving Yu Liu a reassuring look, Yan Ning continued calmly, "Well, I'm not Lan Ming. Our sect has a tradition that disciples cannot show their true faces when they go down the mountain for training. I was on my way down the mountain for training when I happened to encounter Lan Ming, who had gone mad and was emaciated. Because of the mass killings he committed after going mad, a lot of karma had befallen him, and he didn't have much time left to live. I felt like we had known each other for a long time. After he left, I started to travel around in his appearance. I hope you will forgive me for deceiving you before."

This explanation, though somewhat absurd, does sound somewhat believable. After all, there are always some reclusive sects or evil families in the martial arts world, and it's quite normal for their disciples to disguise themselves when they travel.

I've encountered regular expressions myself, so I don't find them particularly difficult to accept.

In the absence of other anomalies, this explanation is barely convincing to regular expressions.

"So that's how it is..." Zhengze breathed a sigh of relief, a little embarrassed, and scratched his head: "I was being presumptuous... Fellow Daoist, please don't take offense!"

Knowing that Yan Ning wasn't Lan Fengzi, Zhengze was momentarily at a loss for how to address her.

When asked this question, Yan Ning smiled nonchalantly: "I'm using Lan Ming's appearance now, so you can just call me Crazy Lan."

Zhengze assumed that Yan Ning's reluctance to reveal his real name was due to his previous skepticism. He felt somewhat guilty but didn't intend to investigate further.

The problem of deception was resolved, and everything returned to square one.

And now they have another clue.

The person who cast the illusion on the Second Princess is very likely a powerful demon, and his magical power is definitely higher than Zhengze's, otherwise Zhengze wouldn't have been unable to see through his illusion.

If this illusion wasn't cast by a powerful demon, then it can only mean that there might be another person in the capital with even greater magical power than Zhengze.

However, this claim was immediately refuted by regular expressions.

“From birth, I have been exceptionally talented in cultivation. There are very few people in the martial world whose cultivation is higher than mine. As far as I know, none of them have ever appeared in the capital. The only ones with higher cultivation than me are the immortals on the mountain, but they don’t usually come down from the mountain, and they have no reason to get involved in these matters, so it’s definitely not them.”
