Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 185 Those Forgotten Memories

It's that time of year again when willow catkins are flying everywhere. The white catkins fall from the sky, making the sky appear even bluer.

Yu Liu moved a reclining chair outside the palace, lay down on it, and reached out to grab the willow catkins in the air, amusing herself.

These days, she repeats this game every day, occasionally going out for a walk, but every time she goes out, she encounters all sorts of situations. Aning has appeared many times through the divine position, and although he has never blamed her, Yu Liu feels more and more guilty.

"I don't know when A-Ning will come back..."

I saw him just two days ago, but I miss him.

Yu Liu nestled listlessly in the recliner and slowly drifted off to sleep. When she woke up again, a red figure had appeared in the desolate palace.

Everything around him was blurry; Yu Liu couldn't make out his face or even his figure, only a red shadow.

"Ah Ning!! Ah Ning, you're back!!"

Yu Liu was very happy.

"Ah."

The other person responded calmly, ruffled Yu Liu's hair, and picked her up.

"I'm sorry to leave you alone."

He sat down in the chair and placed Yu Liu on his lap.

"Huh?" Yu Liu was puzzled as to why he was apologizing.

Yan Ning smiled, offered no explanation, and pulled her into his arms, letting her rest quietly against his chest, enjoying the moment.

"I won't be going to the Outer God Realm for the time being. I'll be staying with you these days."

"Really?"

Yu Liu excitedly stepped out of Yan Ning's embrace, looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Ah."

"Great!"

Yu Liu's eyes crinkled with excitement.

However, in a flash, she thought of the girl in the blue dress from before. There were many people who treated her like that girl, but the words spoken by that girl in the blue dress were the only ones she remembered.

"Ah Ning, you'll always be with me, right?"

Yu Liu asked somewhat nervously.

"...Yes. Forever."

Yan Ning paused for a moment, then answered firmly.

"You said it yourself, I've remembered it, you can't abandon me from now on!"

"Yes." Yan Ning nodded solemnly.

Yu Liu felt much relieved, but then the image of the young woman in the blue dress flashed before her eyes, her words still echoing in her ears: "That was just a lie! You can't believe what men say to women!!"

Did that girl say that what Aning said was a lie?

But Xiao Liu couldn't tell at all that A Ning was lying...

So, did Ah Ning lie to people or not?

What if I've been scammed?

We promised to be together forever, we can't break up halfway!!

Suddenly remembering something, Yu Liu thought for a while, made up her mind, clenched her fist, and cheered herself up!

Yan Ning smiled as she watched her drift off into her own thoughts, without disturbing her.

……

"This isn't the place!"

"This isn't it either!"

"Hmm...where is it?"

While Yan Ning was busy with something, Yu Liu secretly ran away. There were many palaces in the God Realm, and she was somewhat directionally challenged, so she got lost in no time.

Fortunately, the place she was going to was decorated in a special way, and Yu Liu still remembered it. As long as she stepped into the palace, she could tell if it was the place she was looking for. Lost, she could only use a clumsy method, searching from palace to palace.

"Jingle Bell--"

The delicate sound of bells floated in the air, and thousands of bells blended into a magical melody that soothed the listener's heart and soul.

Yu Liu's eyes lit up: "Found it!"

Red silk threads adorned with small bells are visible everywhere, stretching from one end to the other, creating a chaotic yet beautiful effect. The entire palace is enveloped in red silk threads, which sway in the wind, causing the hanging bells to jingle and produce a continuous, clear sound.

"Grandpa Moon, are you there?"

Yu Liu looked around but couldn't find the person she was looking for, so she could only ask loudly.

"Ouch—"

An aged voice suddenly rang out, and a clump of red threads not far from Yu Liu moved. An old man with white hair emerged from the tangled red threads. He reached out, trembling, and felt around in the red threads. He pulled out his cane and slowly stood up, leaning on the cane.

"Oh dear—my old bones—" He had several red threads wrapped around his body. He tried to remove them, but couldn't, so he simply stopped caring.

"Who's calling me?" he muttered to himself, then looked closer and exclaimed, "It's Little Liu! What brings you here today?"

Yu Liu ran up to him with a patter: "Grandpa Yue, I've come to see you."

"That's true." The Old Man of the Moon nodded deliberately: "You wouldn't come looking for this old man if there was nothing wrong."

Yu Liu felt a little embarrassed by what was said.

"Alright, tell Grandpa Yue, what brings you here?"

The Old Man of the Moon patted Yu Liu's head and smiled kindly.

"Um..." Yu Liu twisted her fingers shyly, "Grandpa Yue, can I ask you a question first?"

Her appearance aroused the curiosity of the Old Man of the Moon.

"You said."

"Um... Grandpa Yue, I heard that if two people want to be together forever, they have to get married. Is that true?"

Yu Liu asked the question with some hesitation.

The Old Man of the Moon was genuinely surprised by her question and paused for a moment. Then, he remembered the matter of Little Willow and the God of the Underworld, and several thoughts raced through his mind.

“Yes, it’s true.” He nodded. “Little Willow, you haven’t had much contact with the outside world before, so you don’t know that in this world, every person, every fairy, from birth, has family and friends who are the closest to them. But family and friends can’t accompany you forever, so we will find a partner for ourselves. A partner is someone who will accompany us for the rest of our lives. This kind of relationship is also called husband and wife.”

"Yes, I understand." Yu Liu nodded seriously and kept those words in mind.

She looked up at the red thread hanging on the Old Man of the Moon: "Then... Grandpa Moon, you are in charge of marriage. I heard from others that as long as you tie the red thread, there is a great chance that you will become husband and wife."

Yu Liu hesitantly made her request: "Grandpa Yue, could you... give me a red thread, or help me tie a red thread with Aning?"

The Old Man of the Moon paused for a moment, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"Heh~ So that's why you, you little rascal, suddenly asked me these questions, so that's what you were planning..."

Yu Liu blushed slightly, but still looked at the Old Man of the Moon expectantly.

"...This won't work."

The Old Man of the Moon ruthlessly shattered her illusions. Seeing the instant disappointment on her face, he suddenly took her hand: "Little Willow, the red thread of fate has its limitations. You and the God of the Underworld are somewhat special; even if we were to tie it, it wouldn't work. However..."

He paused for a moment, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.

"But what?"

Yu Liu felt that things had taken a turn for the better, and hurriedly asked nervously.

The Old Man of the Moon smiled mysteriously, took her hand, and led her through layers of red threads.

"You come with me."
