Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 260 The Puppet Who Usurped the Nest

Completely unaware that her body had just been possessed by another consciousness, "Yu Liu" returned to her own body without realizing it. Finding that she seemed to be a little behind the group, she quickly quickened her pace.

Her expression remained as expressionless as ever, devoid of any human liveliness. Even knowing that she was a self-aware soul, it was impossible to tell.

Yu Liu cuddled with Ling Chuqing for a while until her somewhat chaotic feelings gradually calmed down. She stepped out of Ling Chuqing's embrace, and the two souls sat facing each other. It was rare to see her baby's serious expression, so Ling Chuqing cooperated by putting on a serious face as well.

"Ah Ning, I... have something I want to tell you."

Ah Ning has lost his memory again. He is now just Ling Chuqing and doesn't remember their past. Yu Liu didn't intend to bring it up, as it would only cause trouble for the two of them. She thought she could handle this wish well, but reality gave her a rude awakening. The world created by the storybook has no right or wrong, no rules. Here, the protagonist is the rule.

Yu Liu's wish to fulfill is destined to put her on the opposite side of the protagonist. A year ago, she did nothing, or rather, she didn't have time to do anything, before the protagonist's halo killed her off. This made her realize that in order to fulfill her wish and live a good life with Aning, she must first confront the protagonist's halo head-on.

Only when the protagonist's halo disappears can this world gradually return to order and slowly become a real world.

Otherwise, it will forever remain a world on the verge of collapse.

Those tiny, spiderweb-like cracks have long covered the barriers protecting this world. Once those barriers shatter, this world may cease to exist.

Yu Liu didn't know why she could see those cracks. It was as if she naturally knew this information and understood more and more what she should do.

"Listen carefully to what I'm about to say, and then ask me any questions you may have after I've finished."

Yu Liu spoke first.

"it is good."

Infected by Yu Liu, Ling Chuqing nodded solemnly.

“Ah Ning, I’ve never told you this.” She lowered her long eyelashes, concealing the thoughts in her eyes: “The world we are in now, including this ring space, the Central Plains Secret Realm outside, the Endless Demon Forest, and the entire Tianyuan Continent, all originated from a story circulating among mortals.”

Understanding what Yu Liu meant, Ling Chuqing's entire soul trembled, and his eyes widened in surprise. This news was extremely shocking to him; if it had been someone else who said it, he certainly wouldn't have believed it.

Because these words came from Yu Liu's mouth, he believed every word Yu Liu said without any reason. Perhaps he was bewitched, but he was willing to accept it!

“I haven’t read that particular storybook, but I’ve read similar ones. Generally speaking, these kinds of stories are about how an ordinary person ascends to immortality through various opportunities.” She looked at Ling Chuqing, who had already suppressed the shock in his eyes and returned to his aloof demeanor, and there was already understanding in his gaze.

"This mortal is referring to Ling Miao'an, right?"

"Correct!"

During her time with Ling Miao'an, Ling Chuqing witnessed his luck firsthand. Not only did he get whatever he wanted, but he also seemed to find treasures anytime, anywhere. He always managed to escape danger and his strength increased. She hadn't thought much of it before, but now she realized that there were just too many coincidences.

Yu Liu could vaguely guess what Ling Chuqing was thinking. She pursed her lips and continued, "Ling Miao'an has something called the protagonist's halo. It can ensure that everything in this world unfolds as written in the storybook. But that's not right. The person who wrote the storybook doesn't consider too much. He only considers things related to Ling Miao'an. So in the storybook, this whole world serves Ling Miao'an."

“Ah Ning, do you know that if you let the protagonist’s halo drive things forward, you will help Ling Miao’an do many, many bad things, pushing him to the highest position, until you can no longer tolerate him, and you will be tormented by him until you become a demon, and finally be killed by him, becoming his stepping stone, while he will be admired for eternity, and with the help of the faith of the masses, he will break through the void and ascend to become an immortal.”

"We must find a way to stop this from happening and destroy his protagonist aura!"

This is the only way, and it is the only way.

The protagonist's halo is inherently unattainable.

"I see."

Ling Chuqing did not question what Yu Liu said. He recalled what had happened after he had used the magic artifacts to prank Ling Miao'an several times. He had thought it was just Ling Miao'an's good luck, but now it seemed that it was all the protagonist's halo at work again!

Yu Liu didn't have a good solution for eliminating the protagonist's halo. She decided to use a clumsy method—wearing it out.

Yu Liu speculated that the protagonist's halo, capable of influencing an entire world, must be something like energy. Even if it isn't, the fact that it helps the protagonist resolve numerous crises daily suggests it must have an energy source. Without that energy, it loses its function. To make the energy disappear, the supply must be cut off or the energy depleted.

Yu Liu had no way to cut off the energy supply, so she could only choose to exhaust it.

"Hmm..." Yu Liu said, then suddenly hesitated, "...Actually, there's no need to worry too much. I've made a lot of preparations this year!"

Yu Liu's eyebrows curved into a smile. Having become a soul that no one could see, and with her own A Ning hiding inside the ring, Yu Liu needed to find something to do. So, within her capabilities, she made many preparations for the present.

"I know, baby, you've had a tough time!"

Seeing her baby blush under her gaze, Ling Chuqing chuckled and pinched her cheek.

"Leave the rest to me!" He wasn't the old ancestor who worked himself to the bone for Ling Miao'an in the storybooks. Because of the baby, he and Ling Miao'an had long since formed a deep-seated hatred. Although it was one-sided, it didn't stop Ling Chuqing from killing Ling Miao'an, since he wouldn't die anyway.

The protagonist can't die!

"Ok!"

Yu Liu nodded obediently and gladly accepted Ling Chuqing's suggestion. She knew her own capabilities and would not try to be reckless. Moreover, the arrangements she had made earlier were about to come into play.

Yu Liu subtly curled the corners of her lips, eagerly anticipating what was to come.

We'll see how long that protagonist's halo lasts.
