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

This brings us to another regulation: if you don't have local residency in a gathering place during the winter season, you'll have to pay a very high price and go through a very complicated process, such as requiring a local resident's guarantee.

Shu Zhiyi wanted to sigh. The broker's clerk kindly suggested that as long as a woman marries a local man, she can obtain residency in that place. If you marry a partner from a different place, you can obtain residency in many places.

The broker was a sweet-looking young man, and he really couldn't understand what this young lady was worried about. Isn't it easy for a woman to get married? The man even has to prepare his own dowry to bring to his wife's home.

"Forget it, let's rent a small courtyard first." After considering it, Shu Zhiyi made a decision.

When things are urgent, take it slow; when things are slow, things will turn out smoothly!

The waiter thoughtfully helped her choose a small but relatively new courtyard, with a monthly rent of three thousand five hundred jade coins.

Shu Zhiyi showed the courtyard to the shop assistant and immediately decided to rent it. After completing the formalities, she went straight back to the courtyard and didn't come out for the next two days.

Early on the fourth day, she went out, intending to visit the mission center or buy some illustrated guides on plants and animals.

As soon as I stepped out the door, before I even turned onto the main street, I was stopped by someone.

"Miss Shu, I am Kong Sen, eighteen years old, a second-level Martial Spirit Master, and I have participated in several hunts. My dowry is..."

"Wait a minute," Shu Zhiyi quickly interrupted, "I'm sorry, I don't really like your type."

The man in front of me was quite muscular with dark skin, but he wasn't bad-looking; he had a commanding presence.

"Huh?" Kong Sen was momentarily at a loss, but quickly realized what he meant. "I have three brothers, one a Martial Spirit Master and the other a Support Spirit Master. They don't all look the same. Why don't you take a look at them?"

"No need, I have something to do." Shu Zhiyi quickly walked past him and left.

Kong Sen didn't want to give up; none of his four brothers were engaged: "Really, they're all very good-looking."

Shu Zhiyi ran even faster.

Kong Sen's mother was the middle-aged woman who gave Shu Zhiyi directions that day. She had her eye on the single Shu Zhiyi even earlier than the city lord.

Shu Zhiyi noticed that women her age without partners would attract more attention from passersby on the street.

Since it's a custom, why not marry one first? You'll have to marry sooner or later anyway.

She had barely arrived at the Missions Department when the city lord received the message: "Has the messenger bird returned?"

"Reporting to the city lord, she returned last night. Shu Zhiyi's condition is basically the same as what she said herself. Her mother and two fathers were injured in the great hunt before the winter season last year. Both fathers died on the spot, and her mother returned and survived for more than half a year before passing away."

"Are there no other relatives in the family?"

"She had an aunt who seized her family's property and even tried to kill her. The four marriages her mother had arranged for her were all called off after her mother passed away. She must have escaped."

"Her mother is stupid too; she has terrible judgment of people."

"City Lord, her mother probably had no other choice. At that time, Shu Zhiyi had no spiritual power. The accident during the Great Hunt was too sudden, and then the cold season came. She had no way to leave. She could only find someone suitable for her in the town and village, and even gave her benefits before the marriage was arranged."

Although the intelligence report didn't provide much detail, it became clear after a little thought: it's perfectly normal for an orphan girl with no spiritual power, whose family fortune had been seized by her aunt, to break off the engagement.

"Now that you have spiritual power, and are blessed by the gods, such a noble status is a perfect match for my brother who's a 'buy one get one free' deal." Ling Anran's expression was gentle, even showing a hint of affection, but her words were full of malice.

For the young masters of a top family like the Ling family, which can participate in the issuance of jade coins, to be married off to two young masters from the main branches of the family, and to be married off to an orphan girl from a small town who has nothing, is simply an insult.

"Go and invite Miss Shu here to propose marriage to my two good younger brothers."

After wandering around the Mission Department, Shu Zhiyi realized that all team missions required her to report her talent level and rank. She decided to have her talent tested first.

In this world, both martial spiritual power and auxiliary spiritual power are divided into high-grade, medium-grade, and low-grade. The higher the talent, the higher the upper limit; the higher the grade, the longer the lifespan. For example, a fifth-grade spiritual master can live to 150 years old if nothing unexpected happens.

But there is no such thing as ascension in this world, so everyone dies in the end. The longest known person seems to have lived to be over three hundred years old.

"Miss Shu, the city lord requests your presence."

Shu Zhiyi looked at the people in front of her and felt a little helpless. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. No matter what the city lord's purpose was, she had no choice but to go today.

"Lead the way." Shu Zhiyi said calmly, following the group into the city lord's mansion.

"Miss Shu, I've invited you here today because I have some good news to discuss with you." Ling Anran sat in the main seat, skipping any pleasantries and getting straight to the point.

Shu Zhiyi paused for a moment, walked to a chair to the side and sat down, then slowly asked, "Lord City, what is the joyous occasion?"

Ling Anran sized her up for a few moments before speaking with the imposing aura of a high-level spiritual master.

"I have a younger brother who is twenty-two years old and unmarried. I would like to ask Miss Ling to marry him."

Shu Zhiyi raised her eyes, looked seriously at the woman in the main seat, and calmly asked, "The young master of the Ling family? Conditions!"

Even if she had nothing now, and even if both her parents were still alive, given her circumstances, she wouldn't be able to get close to the young master of the Ling family. Why would she suddenly be asked to marry him? What is this young master hiding?

Find someone to take over? No, according to the rules of Heaven, unless a man is bound by a marriage contract at the Marriage Bureau of the Heavenly God Temple, he will not get pregnant no matter how many women he is with.

Is she no longer a virgin after having affairs? She herself didn't really care about that, but the original owner had said that her body deserved the best, and the original owner probably wouldn't like a man who had lost his virginity. In this world, men are born with a red dot on their chest, which disappears after sexual intercourse.

It's like the cinnabar mark that Heaven applies to all men.

Ling Anran was somewhat surprised by her calmness: "My fifth brother has a younger brother from the same father, who is a useless person with a shattered spiritual sea. If you marry my fifth brother, you will have to marry my sixth brother as well."

"Anything else?" Shu Zhiyi asked. What kind of condition was this? Was there an even bigger trap waiting for her?

"Miss Shu, rest assured, our Ling family has strict rules and our members are of high moral character. If you are not at ease, you can have your body examined in public." Ling Anran said maliciously as she saw the two brothers walking outside the main hall.

Before Shu Zhiyi could react, an angry voice came from the doorway: "Ling Anran, you are vicious."

Shu Zhiyi looked towards the entrance. The man walking in front was tall and elegant with refined features and a calm expression. Behind him, a thin man sat on a sedan chair being carried, looking angrily at Ling Anran in the main seat.

"What are you yelling about? You were born to a man of humble origins, you have no manners whatsoever. What family doesn't want a clean-cut man as a husband? What's wrong with a physical examination? If it weren't for you, this good-for-nothing, would your brother still be unmarried?" Ling Anran's words were both venomous and sharp.
