Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 205 The Princess's Embroidered Robe Has Come to Life!!!

"You know... you were the most filial child back then..."

The old man's words were broken and intermittent, sounding as if he was running out of energy.

"The mistakes you made back then... I don't blame you... I only hope you'll be safe and sound..."

He muttered to himself, his dark gaze fixed on Yan Ning's feet, and he moved unsteadily toward her.

Yu Liu tightly hugged Yan Ning's arm with her sleeve, her eyes fixed on the approaching old man. She never expected that this was Lan Ming's father, who had actually appeared here.

Moreover, his condition was very abnormal. Even Yu Liu, a novice in the divine realm, could easily tell that he had been controlled.

His dark and lifeless eyes said it all.

If Lan Ming's parents were being controlled, then it makes sense that they would be captured by Eunuch Fang. It's highly likely that the person behind the scenes did this intentionally. After all, Eunuch Fang captured Lan Ming's parents in order to control Lan Ming. If the person behind the scenes was wary of Lan Ming but didn't want to expose their identity, using Eunuch Fang to deal with Lan Ming was the simplest and most effective method.

And now...

"You can't control me, so you plan to... kill me?"

Yan Ning was fully aware of the purpose behind Lan Ming's parents' appearance.

That powerful demon lurking in the shadows didn't exactly have particularly sophisticated methods! At least, what he did this time was quite foolish.

"……yes!"

Upon hearing Yan Ning's words, the old man suddenly raised his head, slowly curving into a strange smile. His eyes gradually turned blood red, with a faint red hue flowing from the corners of his eyes. His lips parted slightly, and a voice that sounded neither male nor female came out of his mouth, but it was clearly no longer the old man's voice.

It must be the person behind it all.

"Did you send them here to evoke my sympathy?"

Yan Ning lowered his eyes, concealing his emotions. But it was precisely this attitude that gave the person behind him immense confidence.

"Yeah, hahaha... After all, these are your best friend's parents, aren't they?"

The old man laughed loudly, blood trickling from the corner of his eye; the scene looked extremely eerie.

Yu Liu felt a chill run down her spine in an instant. Wasn't what the person behind her was saying exactly what A Ning and Zheng Ze had just said?

Aning casually made up a story to fool Zhengze, but unexpectedly, the person behind it found out immediately. What does this mean?

This suggests that they have been under surveillance by the person behind this, and that person behind this is very likely their target.

"You monster, you're truly despicable—"

Yan Ning's gaze fell on the ground. The old man opposite him couldn't see the emotions in his eyes at all. His ambiguous words were taken as a compliment by the person behind him.

“Despicable? Yes, I am despicable!” He controlled the old man, reaching out to stroke his temple: “Enjoy the feast I’ve prepared for you. Don’t die here, or I’ll be very sad.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's hands and feet fell limp again, as if the person controlling him had left.

Yu Liu blinked, recalling the old man's actions from just now—stroking her temples, and the gesture resembling a delicate, orchid-like finger—it... seemed very much like a woman's gesture...

Moreover, the other party admitted that he was a monster. So, he is very likely the great demon they are looking for. Is it possible that the great demon they have been looking for is a woman?

As Yu Liu's mind wandered, the battle between the old man and Yan Ning ahead was about to erupt.

Suddenly, Yan Ning moved. He reached out and pulled Yu Liu, who was clinging to his arm, into his embrace. Taking advantage of the moment when Yu Liu loosened her grip on his sleeve, he lightly pushed her away. Her light embroidered dress floated slowly several feet away and came to a stop against the opposite wall.

The next moment, Yan Ning herself disappeared from the spot.

"boom!!"

The ground exploded with a deafening roar, and shattered stones mixed with dirt flew into the air, obscuring the view. Through the blur, a red figure flew out from the shattered area, lightly touching the surrounding objects with its toes before landing on the eaves of a roof not far away.

From a distance, Yu Liu could clearly see that the person who broke through the ground and tried to attack was a glamorous woman wearing a red dress that barely covered her body. Her exposed snow-white skin seemed almost transparent in the sunlight, and her exquisite figure exuded an alluring aura. Her bright red lips were slightly upturned, and her slender eyes seemed to have hooks, luring towards Yan Ning, who stood quietly.

However, like the old man before her, this woman's eyes were mostly black, and the dark color indicated that she was also being controlled. But she seemed to still have some self-awareness and looked much more lively than the old man.

"Ming'er, it's been so long, I've missed you so much~" Her voice was like a seductive charm, soft and alluring, especially the final syllable, which made one's body go numb.

But... Mother?

Yu Liu glanced at the still-charming woman, then at the gray-haired old man, and was speechless for a moment.

They look so different in age... I never expected they were a couple!

Yan Ning did not respond to the woman's words. A long red whip appeared out of thin air in her hand. The whip was like a snake and aimed directly at the woman standing on the roof.

The woman giggled, her expression alluring, but she didn't dodge or evade at all. Just as the long whip was about to strike the woman, the old man appeared in front of her, stretched out his aged, wrinkled hand, and grabbed the blood-red whip with his bare hands.

Yan Ning raised an eyebrow, raised her hand and pulled hard. A red light flashed, the whip straightened, and blood instantly gushed from the old man's tiger's mouth. But he seemed to feel no pain at all, and with his undamaged left hand, a cold glint flashed as he raised it.

Yan Ning released the long whip in her hand, quickly shifted her body slightly to the side to dodge the incoming long needle, pushed off the ground with her toes, and soared into the air. The next moment, a blue light flashed on the ground, and the ground exploded again!

It was the woman being protected at the back; faint blue light, the result of a spell being cast, emanated from her hands.

Yu Liu tried her best to minimize her presence. She was already protected by Yan Ning's illusion, so the old man and the woman probably didn't notice her. Seeing the two working together so well, she couldn't help but frown.

The old man was clearly a warrior type who combined close combat with ranged attacks, while the woman was a complete mage type, hiding in the back and casting spells. If the two of them cooperated well, Yan Ning would be exhausted from defending herself!

We need to think of something to do.

Yu Liu started to make plans. Now that no one was paying attention to her, it wouldn't be difficult for her to get close to the woman standing on the roof, as long as she was careful. Once she took care of one person, the remaining one would be easy to deal with.

Having made up her mind, Yu Liu began to make her move discreetly.
