Quick Transmigration: The Supporting Character Just Wants to Die a Natural Death

Yao Feiran had a premonition that if she tried to escape, she would be intercepted by the people from the City Lord's Mansion, while marrying into the mansion would ensure her safety in the short term.

Half a month later, Yao Jiuyi suddenly appeared in Yao Shizhou's room, and Yao Shizhou hurriedly said, "Ancestor—"

A tremendous force shattered his internal organs, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"You actually arranged for Yao Feiran to get engaged to the City Lord's Mansion? Have you lost your mind?!"

Yao Shizhou said in a low voice, "This matter was also decided after discussing it with my wife."

"Yao Feiran is already a third-grade alchemist and has also contracted with a demon beast with the bloodline of the Azure Dragon. What were you thinking, handing her over to someone from the City Lord's Mansion, especially someone with such a reputation?"

"Even if she gets married, she will still be a member of the Yao family. Moreover, the Azure Dragon Beast requires a huge amount of resources, and only by giving it to the Lu family can it receive proper training."

Yao Jiuyi gave a mocking laugh: "You really are a good patriarch. I really misjudged you back then."

Yao Shizhou kept his head down and didn't speak. Yao Jiuyi was somewhat disheartened, thinking to himself that he was about to die, so what was the point of worrying? He couldn't kill Yao Shizhou anyway, so he returned to his clan's territory and went into complete seclusion.

Yao Feiran married into the city lord's mansion, and her wedding night was cold and quiet. Yao Feiran spent her free time cultivating.

In the past few months, Yao Jiuyi has used up most of his resources and has already pushed his cultivation level to the late stage of Spirit General. As long as he has enough resources, he will not be far from becoming a Spirit King.

After a while, she noticed someone coming over. It was her nominal husband, Lu Fenggu, who was looking down at Yao Feiran.

"My wife is only He Yaru. You better behave yourself. If you dare to overstep your bounds, don't blame me for being impolite."

Yao Feiran was startled. These people were not good at cultivation, but they had a lot of love, hate and grudges.

He Yaru was his first wife. She was said to have been attacked and killed, and her origins were unknown.

"Alright, have the maid open a room for me. I just need a place to cultivate."

The little green cat on the top of the head rolled its eyes. How could an old man who was only a Spirit General in his forties have the nerve to say such things to his master?

Lu Fenggu was speechless at her calm demeanor, but he quickly straightened his face. The previous woman was the same; she was just playing hard to get, but she still wanted to get into his bed.

"You better remember this."

Lu Fenggu left after giving her a speech, and the maids Yao Feiran brought from the Yao family all looked at her with sympathy.

Why pity yourself? Losing your husband doesn't mean you've lost your cultivation. I really can't understand it.

Lu Fenggu kept his promise and gave her a separate courtyard. Yao Feiran set up a protective array inside and cultivated in peace.

At this moment, she sensed someone on the wall. Looking up, she saw Zhou Shouxi. He must have used some kind of magic artifact to infiltrate the formation. In addition, Yao Feiran's courtyard was in the weakest point, so he entered without alerting anyone else.

Yao Feiran was displeased at being disturbed during her cultivation.

"What are you doing here? Is it fun climbing over the wall every day?"

Zhou Shouxi took a few steps back, somewhat afraid of this fake Yao Feiran: "I just finished cultivating when I heard that that idiot Yao Shizhou made you marry into the city lord's mansion."

"Yes, you know Yao Shizhou doesn't want me to have an easy time, and he even came up with this method."

Zhou Shouxi thought of his elder brother, who not only stole his bone marrow but also wanted to kill him. His face instantly turned cold: "I heard that Lu Fenggu killed several of his ex-wives, and many of his concubines also died tragically."

"He's no match for me, unless his father comes along."

Sensing Yao Feiran's presence, he shuddered in surprise: "You...you received an award."

"Yes, it's perfect that you're here. I'd like to discuss something with you."

"What is it?"

"I can refine any pill below the Spirit King level. I heard you're the young master now, so you should be able to help make the first move. But don't reveal my identity."

"You...you've become a fifth-grade alchemist."

Zhou Shouxi was startled again. He thought he was a powerful spiritual master, but compared to the other party, he was nothing.

However, Yao Shizhou really has a screw loose. Such a talented clansman was married off for nothing, becoming a stepping stone for someone else. But it seems that Lu Fenggu didn't treat his wife well either. The two families are pretty much evenly matched.

"Hmm, will you help or not?"

"What kind of help is this? You should be helping me. Alchemists are very rare. But how's your success rate?"

"Two portions of medicinal herbs guarantee one batch, or I'll refund the spirit stones."

"That's even less of a problem. Some alchemists have failed with all five sets of materials, and we can't say anything about it."

After the two discussed the specific compensation, Zhou Shouxi left.

That evening, Lu Fenggu came over after a long absence: "It's Father's birthday tonight. Wear something decent and come with me to the banquet."

"Okay, prepare the clothes and gifts for me, otherwise I'll have to wear my own clothes."

The City Lord's Mansion has many rules, so many that Yao Feiran felt like they had entered the Dharma-ending Age. The banquet clothes were different from the usual clothes, and it was said that they were woven from silk by a Spirit King-level demon beast. She would not spend her own money to buy them.

Lu Fenggu, holding his breath, said, "I understand."

Lu Fenggu lived alone outside, and the two of them arrived at the banquet.

After Yao Feiran married into the family, apart from a brief glimpse at the wedding, she never saw the city lord and his wife again. They seemed to care little about their daughter-in-law, treating her like a consumable item.

The two entered the city lord's mansion with feigned harmony but inward estrangement. This banquet was not grand; only some of the city lord's family members and confidants were present.

"Congratulations on your birthday, senior. Wishing you good health and continued success in your cultivation."

Yao Feiran offered her congratulations to Lu's father in a very formal manner, and was just about to leave when Lu's mother spoke up: "I've heard that you are a third-grade alchemist."

"Yes."

"A third-grade alchemist of this age is quite good. You can go to the alchemy room to take on missions, and you'll definitely get your share of the rewards."

"The daughter-in-law knows."

After that, Yao Feiran didn't say much. After the banquet ended, the two left.

"Were these clothes prepared by your concubine?"

Lu Fenggu revealed a knowing expression: "Yao Feiran, I've said before that you're just a decoration. Yu Yan has been with me for many years and is a Spirit Master. She's temporarily managing the affairs of the manor, so you have no right to be unhappy."

Yao Feiran was speechless. She thought he was very affectionate, but it turned out he still had a concubine. It seemed he didn't consider concubines as wives, so it didn't count as him having an affair.

"Who's unhappy? What has your concubine done? She ruined my perfectly good robe. Don't make me pay for it later."

Yao Feiran stretched out her hand, and her sleeves turned into pieces. If she hadn't used her spiritual power to catch them, she would have made a fool of herself long ago.

"You must have done this to frame her, Yao Feiran. I never thought you were this kind of person."

Yao Feiran spoke directly: "I swear by the Heavenly Dao that I have never damaged this dress. You should have your concubine swear by the Heavenly Dao as well."

Lu Fenggu's face stiffened: "Impossible, Yu Yan couldn't be that kind of person. Every time, it's those women who framed her."

"Then just make her swear an oath; the Heavenly Dao will verify it anyway."

Lu Fenggu remained silent.

"Brother, why didn't you use such a simple solution? Are you still thinking that I did it?"

"The oath to Heaven concerns inner demons; how can it be treated so lightly?"

"If you really didn't do it, and you're not really possessed by inner demons, what's there to be afraid of?" Yao Feiran sneered. "Besides, what evidence do you have that I framed her? You just say I did it, but you don't have any evidence either, do you?"

Lu Fenggu fell silent again.
