Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 418 Back to the Past

"Zhang'e Mountain? Are you going there?"

After finding out Yu Liu's destination, a lake that had stopped in front of her readily offered to give her a ride.

"Although I haven't been to that place, I have been to Changliu Mountain. It's quite close to Changliu, so I should be able to find it if I look around."

And so this cheerful mythical beast carried Yu Liu on its journey to find Zhang'e Mountain.

Shuhu, a mythical beast, resembles a horse, has bird wings, a human head and a snake tail. Yu Liu had heard of this kind of mythical beast. They are like buses in the divine realm, enjoying carrying people, and they don't even charge a fare.

However, the one Yu Liu encountered seemed somewhat unreliable.

"Wait, something's not right. I clearly remember this being Changliu Mountain, but it seems... to be a desolate mountain?"

Stopping atop a desolate hilltop, Shuhu lifted its hoof with some doubt and pointed uncertainly at the ground.

"Perhaps you've misremembered?"

Yu Liu had already sensed that the other party was unreliable. They even got the location wrong.

"Probably? Let's look at it from another angle."

After changing direction—

"Sigh, this place seems to be getting more and more desolate..."

"You've gone to the wrong place."

"Let's try looking from another direction!"

After changing direction again—

"Hey, why does it feel like there are more humans now? Are we going to go back to the human world?"

"...Uh, let's try another direction."

"Ok."

After changing direction again—

"This seems to be the territory of some fairy. This aura feels familiar... Holy crap, this is dragon territory!!! Turn around, turn around, turn around..."

"Then let's try another direction."

The Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan are mortal enemies, so there are definitely no little phoenixes ahead.

After changing direction again—

The sea blocked their way.

"Uh……"

"Do you even know the way? We've searched in all four directions, but we haven't found anything..." Yu Liu said softly, riding on Shu Hu's back.

"I haven't been there in many years, so I'm a bit out of practice. Let me ask around. Don't worry, I promise I'll get you to your destination. Trust me!"

Yu Liu really didn't want to believe him, but now she didn't know where she was, and even if she wanted to turn around and leave, she couldn't, because she didn't know the way back.

This is truly a sad story.

Fortunately, the passersby were quite reliable. Shu Hu caught a passing human cultivator, and after some coercion and enticement, the cultivator finally gave them directions.

Unfortunately, Zhang'e Mountain was right behind them. The direction they had initially headed in became increasingly desolate, leading them to doubt that there was anyone there at all. As a result, they changed direction and missed Zhang'e Mountain, which they had likely seen very soon.

"Hahaha, so Zhang'e Mountain is this desolate...?"

Shu Hu gave an awkward, silly laugh, thanked the human cultivator, and flew off in the right direction with Yu Liu on his back.

This time, they didn't take the wrong path and found Zhang'e Mountain. Just as rumored, the mountain was covered in jade, barren of vegetation, and desolate at its base, looking as if no one lived there.

"Are you... sure the fairy you're looking for is on this mountain?"

At first glance, this mountain doesn't seem to have any demons living there.

"Probably, I don't know. We'll have to go up the mountain to find out if there are any fairies here. Thank you for your help along the way."

Yu Liu thanked Shu Hu sincerely and then prepared to go up the mountain.

“Well, this is a desolate place, and it won’t be convenient for you to leave if you can’t find anyone. I’ll go up with you. If there really aren’t any fairies, I’ll give you a ride and take you back.”

Shu Hu was overflowing with kindness, and Yu Liu felt embarrassed to refuse him. In addition, what he said made sense, so after thinking about it, she nodded in agreement.

The two fairies set foot on the jade mountain together. The mountain was very slippery and steep, making it difficult to traverse. Shuhu wanted to take a break and fly away, but discovered that a great formation had been set up here, preventing anyone or any fairy entering the mountain from flying.

"...Who's so annoying?"

He muttered something under his breath.

The two searched slowly around the mountain until they were almost at the top, when they finally found a large, recessed area on the back of the mountain.

There are signs that this place was once inhabited.

"Who dares to trespass on Zhang'e Mountain?!"

Just as Yu Liu and her companion were about to step into the area, a childish voice stopped them.

Yu Liu looked closely and saw a little boy blocking their way. He had a pigtail sticking up in the air, his clothes were brightly colored, and he had a bright red bird feather on his head. He also had a long tail trailing behind him.

Its tail is also colorful.

This is clearly a fairy.

Shu Hu was immediately amused by the other person. "Hahaha~ Little guy, don't be so serious. This is a deserted mountain, no one would dare to trespass, okay?! Hahahaha..."

Three drops of sweat dripped from Yu Liu's forehead. "Brother, aren't we just trespassing demons?"

"Who are you? What do you want here?"

Little Radish Head ignored the mockery of Shuhu and asked seriously with a straight face.

Since there are people here, they might know where Little Phoenix is. Yu Liu stepped forward: "We came here to look for someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Hmm... I'm not sure if he's here or not. I just heard from others that there's a gray phoenix egg, and the phoenix that hatches from it lives on Zhang'e Mountain!"

Upon hearing Yu Liu's words, the other party became even more wary. Little Radish Head immediately drew his weapon, a brightly colored little fan.

"What do you want with my brother? Are you guys sent by bad guys to kill him? Let me tell you, as long as I'm here, you won't be able to hurt him!"

His tense attitude left Yu Liu and Shu Hu dumbfounded.

"We have no ill intentions..."

"I'm telling you, you're so young, why are you so wary? You're supposed to be a demon, can't you tell? We're good people, good people!!"

Shu Hu patted himself on the shoulder, emphasizing the word "good person".

"Bad people will claim to be good people, but I've never heard a good person constantly proclaim their goodness. Tell me, were you sent by bad people to kill my brother?"

"...Why can't this child be reasoned with!"

“We’re not,” Yu Liu tried to explain to the little radish. “I really have a reason for coming to find him; I’ve been incubating this phoenix egg for a very long time…”

Hatching and all that, I could accept it in my mind, but saying it out loud made me feel inexplicably ashamed. Yu Liu blushed and continued, "He was born right next to me. The phoenix that gave birth to him seemed to be fleeing from enemies, hastily hiding him on my body and leaving. I don't know how, after a while, his color..."

"Later he disappeared, so I had to go out and look for him. I wanted to see him and see if he was alright."
