Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

Once outside the store, she noticed that there were hardly any women traveling alone on the street. Regardless of age, they were all accompanied by men, and even little girls were accompanied by family members.

A young woman like her, walking alone on the street, is quite eye-catching.

"Excuse me, sister, I'm new to Qing Shi City and would like to ask where the Heavenly God Temple is?" Shu Zhiyi asked a kind-looking, older woman for directions.

"The Temple of the Gods, just walk straight down this street for about fifteen minutes and you'll see it. Young lady, why are you out alone?" the older woman asked kindly.

"Thank you, sister. Something happened at home," Shu Zhiyi said, offering a general explanation.

He left after saying that, not noticing the sympathy that flashed in the woman's eyes. A young woman, without family or partner, had all died unexpectedly. How pitiful, although such things are not uncommon.

"Oh dear, my lady, doesn't that mean this young lady is single? She has several unmarried sons at home," a refined-looking man beside the woman suddenly said.

"Yes, quick, find someone to keep an eye on her, and then have our sons run into her by chance." The woman suddenly realized and quickly arranged for someone to keep an eye on her.

Shu Zhiyi was unaware that she was being targeted. She had already found the Temple of the Gods. Every human settlement first built the Temple of the Gods and then expanded outward from it.

The Temple of the Gods is not just a place to worship the gods; it is a large complex that includes various government offices such as the Office of Missions and the Office of Marriage.

Shu Zhiyi first went to the central place where the statue of the Heavenly God and the Rule Stone were enshrined, and prayed devoutly. After all, she was an outsider soul, so she had to pay her respects.

Just after she finished her third bow, a soft light suddenly shot out from the statue of the deity, brushed across her forehead, and disappeared in two seconds.

Her feeling was like the master of this world glancing at an outsider—it didn't carry any special meaning.

However, the locals saw it differently. They considered it a rare blessing from the gods, and the divine servants on duty in the temple rushed over immediately.

Shu Zhiyi was instantly surrounded, and she was so startled that she assumed a defensive stance, wondering whether she should take out the spirit sword she had stored in her spatial storage.

Because her spirit sword was from another world, she was worried that something was amiss, so she put it away before going down the mountain.

She wasn't worried about the space itself. The spirit masters in this world could craft spatial artifacts. Before going down the mountain, she found a spatial artifact with the simplest design, tied it with a rope, and wore it around her neck. After all, spatial artifacts weren't offensive magic weapons and didn't have any elemental attributes, so she just had to be careful when using them.

"Miss, please don't be nervous. We've just been a little excited because we haven't seen divine blessings in a long time. We mean no harm."

"Oh, may I go now?" A blessing, huh? Well, never mind then.

"Please don't worry, young lady. We've already informed the city lord. Are you new to Qing Shi City?"

"I just arrived." Shu Zhiyi replied while rummaging through the original owner's memories. Although divine blessings were not common, they did happen. Everyone who received a blessing had a relatively smooth and lucky life afterward.

As long as she's not the only one, that's fine. Shu Zhiyi breathed a sigh of relief. She can attract attention, but she can't be the only one, or it will cause trouble.

The city lord of Qing Shi City is the fourth young lady of the Ling family. The city lord's mansion is right next to the Heavenly God Temple. Ling Anran arrived quickly and went straight to Shu Zhiyi with a big smile.

"This young lady is the one blessed by the gods! Oh my, she's so beautiful and talented! Is she from our Qing Shi City?"

Shu Zhiyi was not used to a stranger suddenly approaching. She took half a step back, bowed, and said, "This must be the city lord. Greetings, city lord."

"No need for formalities. The Heavenly God Temple is not the place to talk. Come with me to the City Lord's Mansion so as not to disturb the Heavenly God."

"I should not refuse the city lord's hospitality, but I have just arrived in Qing Shi City and have not yet settled in. Please forgive me."

"You just arrived? Where is this young lady originally from? Are you planning to settle down in Qing Shi City alone?"

"My name is Shu Zhiyi. I am from Qingfeng Town on the other side of the mountain. My relatives passed away, my family suffered a change of fortune, and my hometown does not accept me. That's why I want to move to another place to live. I am not sure where I will settle down yet." Shu Zhiyi explained the situation.

She also wanted to keep a low profile, but the gods had already drawn attention with this blessing. Rather than letting them investigate aimlessly like headless flies, it would be better to give them a clear direction so that the investigation wouldn't alarm too many people.

"Are you engaged?" If you are married and your partner is still alive, you will not be without a partner by your side.

"After my mother and father passed away, the families I was originally engaged to broke off their engagements with me because they thought I was stupid and couldn't protect the family property."

"A support spirit master? What rank are they?"

"To be honest, I was tricked before and just woke up." Shu Zhiyi tried to downplay her situation. She was already considering whether to move to another city. Her current situation was suitable for her to live a lowly life, since she was neither good at literature nor martial arts.

Ling Anran's smile widened: "We have many fine young men in Qing Shi City, would you like some?"

This is a bit too much. It's obvious and can be found out with a simple investigation, so Shu Zhiyi has no need to hide it. But the future development is her own business. With her current level of spiritual power, what kind of good man would marry her?

Shu Zhiyi interrupted with a smile: "Lord Ling, all the men my family arranged for me to get engaged have broken off the engagements because they saw that my family has fallen on hard times. I'm heartbroken and don't want to think about these things for the time being."

Ling Anran's smile faded slightly, but her tone remained warm: "Oh dear, it was my oversight. However, it seems that Miss Shu is not young anymore. She should make plans early to avoid incurring the wrath of the gods."

"Thank you for the reminder, City Lord." Shu Zhiyi bid farewell with tact and turned to enter the brokerage firm near the Heavenly God Temple.

Inside the Heavenly God Temple, Ling Anran coldly instructed her subordinates: "Get to know this blessed young lady well, and don't neglect her."

Shu Zhiyi inquired about the rental prices at the brokerage. If she rented a courtyard alone, it would cost three to five thousand jade coins per month. Some families with extra rooms would rent out one or two rooms separately, which was cheaper, costing five hundred to one thousand jade coins per month.

Shu Zhiyi then inquired about the price and travel time of the flying boat leaving Qing Shi City. The flying boat to the nearest Yan Yang City takes about once a month, costs 5,000 jade coins, and takes about four or five days to arrive. The problem is that Yan Yang City was also established by the Ling family.

Now that the windy season has ended and the warm season has begun, people are busy preparing to go hunting in teams. The flying boats between cities have basically stopped operating. The flying boats only run most frequently before and after the start of the cold season each year.
