Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 318 I Want to Be in a Relationship

<>

Wearing a bright red wedding dress and having her vision obscured by a red veil, she felt nervous. Her slender, white fingers clutched the bright red wedding dress, twisting it into flower-like shapes, as she was helped into the bridal sedan chair by the maids surrounding her.

The bridal sedan chair must have been very large. The hazy, blood-red world seen through the red veil gave Yu Liu a sense of déjà vu.

The sedan chair began to sway, but Yu Liu remained calm and composed, though her heart was far from at peace. She felt her mind become hazy and heavy, her eyelids drooping as a deep drowsiness overwhelmed her. The fiery red world closed before her eyes, and when she opened them again, the world before her had turned white.

Everything was white, from top to bottom, left to right, front to back.

"Kick-"

The thick snow crunched underfoot, making a distinct sound. Glistening snowflakes danced in the air, chasing the wind before gradually settling to the ground. Feeling something in her hand, Yu Liu looked around blankly and realized she was holding an umbrella, walking step by step through this white world.

A thick layer of snow had accumulated on the purple oil-paper umbrella, and the girl under the umbrella had a cold face.

"...Are you sure you don't want to leave?"

Yu Liu felt herself speaking, her voice carrying a chill that could freeze a person, spreading throughout this pure white space.

The only response she received was the howling of the wind and snow.

"You're a new god, aren't you? A high-ranking god who controls ice and snow, why do you have to be so foolish..." With a low sigh, the thick ice and snow beneath Yu Liu's feet began to tremble violently, and bursts of purple light accompanied the cracking of the white snow.

A crack appeared in the snow-white expanse before my eyes. The crack widened and grew larger, with more and more fine lines appearing. Finally, the snow-white expanse seemed unable to withstand the pressure and suddenly shattered into pieces.

"puff--"

Blood, shimmering with golden light, was painfully spat out. A god with distinctly Western features, bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, stood firmly in front of Yu Liu.

"...I really didn't know that the lesson from back then didn't teach you anything. If I had known, I wouldn't have held back." Yu Liu said in a language that the god blocking her way couldn't understand, her eyes glancing behind him.

There, amidst the rolling mountains, a steep cliff floats silently in the air. The cliff is smooth as a mirror on all sides, and at its top stands an ancient city, from which only towering city walls can be seen.

“I know you can hear me…” Yu Liu could feel that her gaze was unfocused: “No matter how many people you send, they will only be sent to their deaths. You know this, yet you have not shown yourself. Are you afraid, Zeus?”

“You should know better than me why I came to see you.” After a pause, Yu Liu continued walking forward. The man with blood on his lips nervously blocked her way, but could only retreat, not daring to make a move. “He was tricked; he can only blame himself for being outmatched. I’ve always refrained from interfering in the feuds between East and West, but this time, I must take care of his matter! Give me the item, and I’ll leave immediately.”

Yu Liu approached the suspended cliff step by step. Just as she gently tilted the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, a faint purple light was already emanating from her body, and her move seemed to be ready to be launched, a fiery red feather suddenly appeared in front of her and floated quietly.

“You’re smart enough to know your place…” Yu Liu reached out and tightly gripped the feather. The feather seemed to recognize her and affectionately nuzzled against her. “To be honest, I really did want to tear down your divine city just now.”

After leaving behind this threatening remark, Yu Liu's figure disappeared from the spot.

The sedan chair swayed, and Yu Liu suddenly shook her head, which had become much heavier. When she opened her eyes and faced the blood-red world, she still felt a sense of disorientation, as if she didn't know what day it was.

What exactly happened just now? What did I see? It felt like... a memory.

Amnesia? Yu Liu touched her head, a vague sense of panic rising within her. She roughly understood that her prolonged slumber in both the previous and current worlds was likely a process of awakening certain memories, and today, a small glimpse of those memories had finally been revealed to her.

Lost in thought, the wedding procession had already circled the city once and finally returned to the Regent's Palace. Yu Liu's status as the daughter of the Duke of Fuguo was secretly arranged by the Emperor to ensure legitimacy, so this time Yu Liu started from the Duke of Fuguo's Palace. This long wedding procession circled the city once, and amidst the eager anticipation of the people, it stopped at the gate of the Regent's Palace.

The sedan chair landed quickly, and with a slight tilt, Yu Liu was held firmly in someone's arms and strode into the festively decorated Regent's Palace.

The entire wedding ceremony was not that complicated. After a simple bowing to heaven and earth, Yu Liu, who was sent to the bridal chamber, was basically fine.

She sat on the bright red wedding bed, which was covered with peanuts and longans, and her head suddenly felt heavy again.

What is she about to remember? Yu Liu wondered, feeling somewhat drowsy.

……

"I think I understand why." She heard herself give a bitter laugh.

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." The aged voice carried a warm, comforting tone: "Your power is inherently unsuitable for saving people. Moreover, this is a case of a divine position being shattered. This is the first time in the long history of the Heavenly Court that a divine position has been broken. Before this, everyone believed that divine positions were unbreakable and that gods could exist forever, but..."

The rest of his words were left unspoken, and a sense of powerlessness filled Laozi's graying brows and eyes.

“Actually, it’s not that I’m unsuitable.” Yu Liu stood at the entrance of the Tushita Palace, looking down at the misty Heavenly Court: “I know my own strength best. It’s not that I can’t, but that someone won’t allow it.”

"My existence may have always been a hidden danger that it wants to get rid of, because I can threaten it. So, it won't let me do things that clearly violate its rules."

Yu Liu felt waves of weakness coursing through her body. She felt she shouldn't be like this, that this was wrong, but she didn't know what to do.

After she uttered these slightly bewildered words, Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) offered no further words of comfort.

……

"I want to save him." Her expression was incredibly firm: "I don't know what our relationship is, but I... I might not be able to leave him. He hasn't completely disappeared yet, and I want to save him."

"It won't let me save it because I've become a threat to it. It can do everything in its power to stop me, but I can't... I can't take action. Since things have already gotten to the worst possible state, it doesn't seem like things could get any worse."

She quietly took out a large, dusty stone: "...I will transform into what it wants to see, in the most suitable way. The rest is up to Laozi and... Jinzi."

……

"Baby? Baby?"

An anxious voice called out in her ear. Yu Liu opened her eyes in a daze and met Wang Sun Chu Quan's eyes, which were filled with lingering fear.

"Baby, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Where does it hurt?"

Yu Liu shook her head weakly, her pale face still covered in cold sweat. She didn't look like she was alright. Wang Sun Chu Quan didn't dare to ask any more questions and carefully placed her on the bed: "You should rest for a while. I'll have someone call the imperial physician."

Yu Liu grabbed his hand, stopping him from moving: "I'm fine, I was just thinking about some unhappy things from the past, it's okay."

Seeing her pale cheeks gradually regain their color, Wangsun Chuquan was finally relieved.

Once I relaxed, I remembered the occasion—the wedding night.

At a time when a moment of blissful intimacy is worth a fortune, Wangsun Chuquan hesitated, a rare occurrence for him.

“Baby, um… it’s late, shall we go to sleep?” he asked Yu Liu tentatively.

Unable to fall asleep, Yu Liu, who was lying in bed with her eyes open and staring blankly, responded blankly with an "Oh".

Thinking that the two of them should sleep together after marriage, Yu Liu consciously moved further into the bed, leaving Wang Sun Chu Quan a lot of space.

Wang Sun Chuquan wasn't sure if Yu Liu knew what he meant by "sleep." With Yu Liu's tacit consent, he quietly moved onto the bed. At first, there was a little distance between them, but when he saw that Yu Liu was still in a daze and didn't show any aversion to him, Wang Sun Chuquan began to move stealthily, slowly, slowly bringing his body close to Yu Liu's hand.

"Hmm?" The slight touch brought Yu Liu back to her senses. She turned her head to look at Wang Sun Chu Quan, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.

Wang Sun Chuquan took it as her understanding and was immediately encouraged. Suddenly, he rolled over and covered Yu Liu's body with his own, supporting himself on his hands on either side. He lowered his head and kissed Yu Liu's soft lips.

Yu Liu was startled by this sudden turn of events, her eyes widening in surprise, but she felt no aversion. She was somewhat immersed in this tender feeling until... a hand reached inside her bright red wedding dress.

"W-what are you going to do?" Yu Liu suddenly shrank back, her eyes full of wariness as she looked at Wang Sun Chu Quan.

After a moment of silence, Wang Sun Chuquan finally found an excuse for his behavior: "Baby, you have to take off your clothes to sleep."

"I...I know," Yu Liu stammered, "but sleeping together...it's still not okay!"

Yu Liu's eyes were incredibly serious, her gaze clear and innocent, clearly unaware of Wang Sun Chu Quan's wicked intentions. It wasn't until this moment that Wang Sun Chu Quan began to realize that, judging from Bao Bao's usual behavior, she probably didn't understand what to do after getting married. Moreover, the wedding he planned was rushed, with everything presented to the highest standards in just two days. Yu Liu had no part in it, and no one had told her what to do after getting married, so she probably didn't understand those things.

Wang Sun Chuquan suddenly felt a sense of defeat. He remained perched above Yu Liu, staring down at her for a long time until she became uneasy. Finally, he lowered his head, gave her a quick kiss on the lips to barely satisfy his resentment, and with a swift movement, flipped her over to her side, pulled the blanket over her, and said, "Go to sleep."

These two words seemed to have a magical power, and for some reason, Yu Liu actually slowly fell asleep.

Wang Sun Chu Quan, on the other hand, stayed awake until dawn. It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, but rather that he couldn't fall asleep. Whose wedding night was as miserable as his? Although he could teach Yu Liu, under Yu Liu's pure gaze, his filthy thoughts truly made him feel ashamed.

Yu Liu, of course, had no idea what was missing from her wedding. She thought marriage simply meant two people sleeping together, though she didn't understand why such a grand ceremony was necessary—was it just to celebrate that they could sleep together? After the wedding, her life didn't change much; she spent most of her time sleeping and a small portion playing.

Just as the old prime minister had predicted, Wang Sun Chu Quan gradually began to hand over all his miscellaneous power and influence to the young emperor. He stopped reviewing the daily memorials and had them all packaged up and delivered to the young emperor. The young emperor was overjoyed. Even though he had to stay up all night reviewing the memorials, turning himself into a panda with huge dark circles under his eyes, he was still completely absorbed in his pleasure.

In this atmosphere, everyone lived their lives happily.

Wang Sun Chuquan struggled every day with whether or not to teach his newlywed wife about marital intimacy. Every time he steeled himself and made up his mind, his resolve crumbled the moment he met Yu Liu's eyes. As a result, even after marriage, their relationship was limited to sleeping in the same bed, and Yu Liu even developed the habit of sleeping in her clothes.

Life went on like this, going around in circles. Perhaps in the first year, Wang Sun Chuquan was still seriously considering instilling some knowledge about that kind of thing in Yu Liu. After the plan failed, he only thought about it occasionally in the second year. In the third year, he felt that his current life was pretty good.

He... completely became a paragon of virtue, the kind who never saw the light of day.

The feeling of being married with a wife but still having to masturbate yourself is indescribably bittersweet.

In the fifth year of their marriage, the people who had worried so much about the regent's marriage were now starting to worry about his offspring. Five years had passed, and the princess was still not pregnant. The prince was a devoted man, so what could be done if things continued like this?

Sensing the rumors circulating outside, Wangsun Chuquan considered leaving. Just then, the young emperor, with the old prime minister's assistance, was gradually becoming able to handle some state affairs. Wangsun Chuquan went directly to the palace for an audience, handing over all his miscellaneous power to the young emperor and expressing his high regard for him. He then packed his bags and, with his princess, went to Jiangnan, bought a small house, and lived in seclusion. Occasionally, he would take his beloved wife out for walks, returning when they were tired. Their relationship never progressed further, but gradually, Wangsun Chuquan learned to find satisfaction in other areas. In fact, having Yuliu by his side was the most fulfilling thing for him.

The greatest happiness is having your loved ones by your side all the time; one should be content...

...Be satisfied my ass! My wedding night was so exciting! T^T
