Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 106 Hades, King of Hades

Hall of Samsara.

The Reincarnation Well projected five-colored light into the sky, which converged into a circular mirror. The image in the mirror finally froze on the man loosening the golden thread on his wrist and smiling faintly.

Yue Sheng stood in the main hall, looking up at the man on the screen: "Laojun, he's discovered it..."

Laozi stood not far behind her, his gaze seemingly fixed on the mirror image, yet also not on it. His face was unusually solemn. Upon hearing Yue Sheng's words, Laozi paused in stroking his beard, then resumed his nonchalant demeanor.

"...We'll find out sooner or later. As long as this connection isn't broken, we still have hope."

Laozi's voice was barely audible, "Yu Liu was born in response to the times, and from the moment of her birth, she was destined to have an entanglement with him. Now that he is unconscious and has already wavered... there is still hope."

In truth, even Laozi himself didn't know where this glimmer of hope lay, but since the Great Dao had left a trace of life, it couldn't be abandoned.

"Take good care of Yuliu. She's getting old and her legs aren't as strong as they used to be. I won't be able to visit her for a while..."

With a sigh, Laozi turned and rode a cloud back to his Tushita Palace.

Yue Sheng opened his mouth, watching Laozi's departing figure, and uttered a barely audible "...I'm sorry."

Having seen too much and borne too much, Yingqing and the Jade Emperor thought they had kept it from everyone, but little did they know, if it weren't for Laozi... Alas~

In the mirror image, the man with a faint smile suddenly transformed into golden light and vanished.

With a flick of her sleeve, Yue Sheng's reflection vanished, and she returned to her seat at the table as usual, just as Yu Liu had seen her every time she returned.

Meanwhile, Yu Liu, who had been taken away by the Reincarnation Well, was looking at the scene before her with a blank expression. She was standing on a high mountain, surrounded by jagged rocks and lush vegetation covering the mountainside. A vibrant scene of life unfolded before her, with one or two animals occasionally peeking out from among the green vegetation, creating a harmonious scene.

The view from this vantage point is breathtaking, making it a great spot for sightseeing, but—this isn't the Palace of Reincarnation!!!

What's going on? Did the Reincarnation Well go to the wrong place? That can't be right. The Reincarnation Well is a supreme treasure of the God Realm. If it were so easy to make a mistake, it wouldn't deserve the title of supreme treasure!

Just as Yu Liu was looking around, she suddenly felt a drop of water fall on her head.

"It's raining?"

Yu Liu curiously reached out and touched it, only to discover, when she held her hand up to her eyes, that the drop of water was actually red!

--Blood!

Yu Liu then looked up at the sky, which she hadn't noticed before, and was shocked to find that there were two people standing in the sky. One of them was somewhat familiar to Yu Liu; it was the rather eccentric Qingyan Divine Lord she had met before!

Unlike the spirited and confident Qingyan Shenjun we had met before, Ying Qing was now a mess, with obvious bloodstains at the corners of his mouth. His usually neatly combed hair was disheveled and hanging down his back, and his brightly colored robes were torn in many places, revealing the exposed flesh underneath.

He was injured, and seriously injured. As a god, he could heal any external injury immediately, no matter how severe. But now these wounds are still intact, which can only mean that Ying Qing no longer has the power to heal these external injuries.

Not only was he seriously injured, but he also lost a lot of his strength.

Yu Liu looked at his opponent and realized that the person confronting him also had the same high nose bridge, deep-set eyes, and platinum blonde hair as the God of Darkness—a typical Western appearance. He was tall and imposing, dressed in a black robe, and exuded a strange aura. Compared to Ying Qing's disheveled state, this god had fewer wounds and appeared relatively unharmed. He held a crescent-shaped weapon and was looking at Ying Qing with a cold smile.

—This is a Western god. The Eastern and Western divine realms have always been at odds, and any encounter between them always ends in a fight to the death. Perhaps this Western god came to the East for some reason and was met by Ying Qing, which led to the current situation.

Yu Liu sized up the two people above her, then looked down at herself. Ying Qing's combat power in the divine realm was among the best, so the fact that he was beaten so badly meant that this Western god was far more powerful than him. Not to mention this Western god, Ying Qing's power alone was many times greater than hers. She had suddenly appeared here, yet the two of them had been locked in a standoff without noticing her at all. This couldn't be because her concealment skills were too good; something must be wrong!

The five-colored divine light belonging to the Well of Reincarnation on my body has disappeared, and it doesn't seem like the Well of Reincarnation is protecting me. Why am I here? And why can't those two people above me notice me?

Yu Liu was completely baffled and could only turn her attention back to the top of her head. She needed to find a way to help Qingyan Shenjun.

"So, have you thought about what I said before?"

The Westerner spoke fluent, standard Mandarin, a stark contrast to the alien language spoken by the God of Darkness.

"Don't even think about it—"

Ying Qing clutched his chest and coughed up another mouthful of blood.

"You're still so disobedient—" the Western god said in a casual tone, but the killing intent in his eyes was gradually building up: "You killed my Cerberus, so you should give me some compensation. I thought you had some strength, so I wanted to make you my mount. If you continue to be so ungrateful, then I can only give your Jade Emperor a roasted bird!"

"Hades, you won't get away with this—we'll fight to the death!"

Ying Qing gripped the folding fan tightly, her breathing becoming somewhat unsteady.

"Hmph—you think you're like this... Oh! Reinforcements have arrived~" Hades wanted to say a few more sarcastic remarks when he heard several dragon roars coming from the distant horizon.

Ying Qing also heard the dragon's roar and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Hades squinted slightly as he looked into the distance: "The Ten Heavenly Dragons guarding the Southern Heavenly Gate, what a grand gesture!"

He had already sheathed his crescent-shaped weapon at some point: "Little Bifang, you'd better think carefully about what I'm saying. I'm not playing with you guys anymore. I'll come find you later~"

He shook his black robes and turned to leave. The Ten Directions Heavenly Dragons were the most important guardians of the Southern Heavenly Gate. Each of them was powerful, and when they joined forces, even high-ranking gods dared not confront them head-on. Moreover, he had already fought a battle and was now exhausted. It would be foolish not to leave.

Ying Qing saw his movement. His body moved faster than his thoughts; the folding fan flew from his hand, infusing the last of his strength: "You can't leave—"

We can't let him go! We absolutely can't let him leave! Hades, as the lord of the Western Underworld, is someone even Zeus, the chief god of the West, treats with deference. He's the most suitable candidate. Now, because of the disappearance of his subordinate, the God of Darkness, he's alone in the territory of the Eastern God Realm. This is a golden opportunity to capture him! We can't let him go; if he does, we'll lose a chance!

Thinking of this, and enduring the discomfort in her body, Ying Qing, driven by a strong will, threw herself forward.

Hades glanced back disdainfully, his hands tracing mysterious paths in the air before striking backward with a sudden blow.

The Ten Directions Heavenly Dragons, who rushed over, only managed to catch the Qingyan Divine Lord who was flying back. Because of this delay, Hades's whereabouts had already disappeared.

Yu Liu watched the whole process but couldn't find a way to get involved. Just as she was still confused, the guiding light of the Reincarnation Well appeared again. This time, there were no mistakes, and she was directly teleported back to the Reincarnation Palace.
