Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 246 The Puppet Who Usurped the Nest

After arranging the groups of the inner disciples and explaining the precautions, Ling Miaoan personally led his junior sister Yu Qing, his second junior brother Wang Zhuang, and "Yu Liu," who seemed to be his bodyguard, as a team of four, heading towards the Endless Demon Forest.

With only a few days left until the opening of the Central Plains Secret Realm, obtaining the key to enter is everyone's goal. The number of slots for entry is limited, and for every key, the Endless Demon Forest will witness a bloody battle within the next few days!

This is just the appetizer.

Yu Liu, clutching the feather, quietly followed behind Ling Miao'an and the others, secretly waiting for her chance.

More importantly, we need to wait for Aning to appear.

Only by meeting Aning will Yu Liu have a chance to turn the tables in this world where the protagonist is everything.

The group, ostensibly four people but actually five, walked for some time through the silent, endless demon forest. The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, and with the absence of animals, everything became somewhat eerie.

Suddenly, Ling Miao'an, who was walking at the front, listened carefully and heard what sounded like a child's mournful cry coming from ahead, which sounded like some kind of animal.

Confirming that this was not a hallucination, Ling Miao stopped in her tracks.

"Yu Liu, go and take a look ahead."

"Yes!"

Without the slightest hesitation, "Yu Liu" responded decisively, lightly touching the ground with her toes and landing gracefully on a nearby tree. Stepping on the trees, she slowly approached the source of the sound.

After a while, Ling Miaoan narrowed her eyes, a strange look flashing across them: "So it was a deer..."

"Brother Ling, what are you saying? What deer?" Yu Qing had no patience for anything, and now that the strange voice had stopped, she felt inexplicably uneasy. She reached out and took Ling Miao'an's arm, leaning against him, and asked with some unease and curiosity.

Ling Miao'an smiled mysteriously and reached out to pinch Yu Qing's nose: "It's an adorable little deer. Come on, let's go see where this little deer came from?"

At this time of year, all animals in the Boundless Demon Forest vanish without a trace—a common knowledge known to everyone on the entire Tianyuan Continent, without exception. They had indeed encountered no animals along their journey, but unexpectedly, this time was different. An animal, seemingly "wounded and awaiting slaughter," appeared before them. Regardless of how this animal appeared, it likely represented a fortuitous opportunity.

It would be a real shame not to study it carefully.

As they drew closer, Yu Qing and Wang Zhuang gradually heard the child's mournful cries, and the animal that was constantly crying out came into their view. It was a small white deer with snow-white fur and light yellow markings on its back, making it look very beautiful.

It was lying on its side, its right foreleg taut, blood still gushing from a bloody, deep wound. The marks of sharp teeth were clearly visible, indicating it had been attacked by a wild beast. The white deer looked about the size of a large dog, probably only a few days old. Unable to move after its injury, it cried out in pain, but everything else seemed normal.

Beside the white deer, "Jade Willow," who had come to scout the way, stood quietly.

"Wow! What a beautiful little deer!" The moment Yu Qing saw the white deer, her eyes sparkled with delight.

She gripped Ling Miao'an's clothes tightly with her hands, tilted her head back in his arms, and looked at him with adoration as if he were her god: "Brother Ling, let's save it!"

Ling Miao'an was most vulnerable to such a gaze, and immediately raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, okay, Brother Ling will help you save it right away!"

As he spoke, he reached out to pull Yu Qing forward.

"Senior Brother! You absolutely mustn't!"

Wang Zhuang suddenly spoke up to stop us: "Senior Brother, this is the Endless Demon Forest! The entire forest is fraught with danger, not to mention that during this special period, all the animals in the forest have disappeared. Why did we have to encounter a white deer? I think we should be more careful!"

He tried his best to dissuade them, but the two people in front of him wouldn't listen. Ling Miao'an at least tried to put on a show of politeness, since Wang Zhuang was still useful to him. But his junior sister Yu Qing was completely uninhibited, rolling her eyes at Wang Zhuang without any restraint.

"Be cautious? The fawn is so cute, do we need to be cautious? Besides, look at it, it's so small and injured, it's not a threat at all!"

After scolding Wang Zhuang, Yu Qing shook Ling Miao'an's arm: "Brother Ling~ Let's go save Little Deer quickly~"

"Okay." Ling Miaoan patted Yu Qing's head, her expression full of affection.

He stepped forward and, under Bai Lu's wary gaze, skillfully removed the rotten flesh around Bai Lu's wound, applied a high-quality tissue-regenerating ointment, and bandaged it tightly.

"Alright." He smiled warmly, his whole being like sunshine, making people feel warm and cozy. "Try to stand up and walk around. Don't take off the bandages I put on you. In a couple of days, the wound will be completely healed. Be careful when you go out in the future, and don't do anything like this. Not everyone is as kind as me."

He treated even a white deer with such care and gentleness. Yu Qing looked at her Ling-gege with admiration, clutching her pounding heart, her eyes filled with a kind of infatuation.

Even Yu Liu's expression changed noticeably; her previously cold face softened.

Wang Zhuang sighed silently, for his overly kind-hearted senior brother.

Only Yu Liu, standing quietly behind Ling Miao'an, knew that Ling Miao'an's gentle and considerate demeanor was all a facade. And after seeing the white deer in his arms, whose eyes had also softened, Yu Liu was absolutely certain that this white deer, which had violated the rules of the Endless Demon Forest, was definitely a gift to the protagonist.

If not, then...

Yu Liu's critical gaze swept over Bai Lu's entire body. Taking advantage of the fact that no one present could see her, she openly floated to Bai Lu's side and glanced at the area between Bai Lu's two hind legs.

Ugh! It's a bit sleazy, but...

—It is female.

In this kind of power fantasy novel with a harem element, all the attractive girls are the protagonists. And this white deer is beautiful enough, and she must be even more beautiful after transforming, plus she's female... It's no wonder Yu Liu would overthink things, because in the year she's been following Ling Miao'an around, Yu Liu has witnessed Ling Miao'an having sex with at least a dozen girls, maintaining ambiguous relationships with more than twenty girls, exchanging flirtatious glances with many girls, and seducing countless girls who are obsessed with him.

Don't ask how many girls there are, or where all these girls came from. If you want to know, ask the author!
