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

"Why do you want to help us?" Ling Zian asked, puzzled.

"I hate being threatened or forced."

Ling Ziyu: "Huh? You don't want to? Then why did you agree so quickly? And why did you directly ask for a dowry?"

Shu Zhiyi asked Ling Zian, "Is that what you think too?"

If she thought that way too, she would have to consider other options. This idea was too foolish; was it something she wanted to agree to? She couldn't return to her hometown for the time being, and her spiritual power had just awakened. She might not even be able to succeed in a team hunt. At this time, could she refuse a city lord's request?

Moreover, on the surface, this matter is entirely beneficial to her.

As for demanding the dowry, isn't that even simpler? Since the matter is already settled, we should try to get as many benefits as possible from this settled situation.

"I understand Miss Shu's difficulties, and I thank Miss Shu for being willing to accept us brothers."

"You've spoiled him so much that he's become too naive," Shu Zhiyi complained. He's grown up with such difficulty, yet he's still so innocent, clearly because someone is protecting him.

"Yes," Ling Zian nodded in agreement, "I didn't want him to go through what I went through, so I spoiled him a bit."

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. In a bit, make him go back with that defeated look on his face. Let that city lord find pleasure in humiliating you. Push this matter forward quickly. Once the contract is successfully formed, go out hunting as a team. Spend less time in the city and develop your power as soon as possible."

"Alright, the results will be available in less than three days. My dowry includes a house on Qingpu Street, and I will move there to live then."

"Um."

Because one of the subordinates who carried the chair was dismissed, Ling Zi'an and the remaining Li Wei carried Ling Ziyu away.

Shu Zhiyi continued to cultivate at home. First, she used the spirit pearl that the original owner had brought with her. Later, she tried the spirit stones and demon cores from the cultivation world and found that she could absorb them. After that, she couldn't stop. She quickly took advantage of this time difference to use as many spirit stones as possible for cultivation, because once she formed a contract with the Ling family brothers, it would not be so convenient to use things that did not belong to this world.

Ling Zian's estimate was accurate. In less than three days, the City Lord's Mansion had basically prepared the items on the dowry list. Ling Anran was worried that if the time was too long, the two brothers, Ling Zian and Ling Ziyu, would find their elders in the main family to support them, so she tried her best to speed things up.

The dowry of the young master of the Ling family is fixed, and they usually own properties in several cities. However, the dowry handled by Ling Anran naturally deducted those and symbolically supplemented them with some in Qing Shi City.

In order to suppress Ling Zi'an, all the properties that could be registered under her name—houses, shops, fields, subordinates—were transferred to Shu Zhiyi's name.

Shu Zhiyi, who suddenly became rich: "..."

I don't even know how to describe this city lord. Giving her own property to strangers just to suppress her younger brother? Her thought process is truly astounding. If it were her, and the two sides were truly mortal enemies, she would rather be punished by her elders than let them go unpunished. In a world like this, any accident could kill many people.

The process of forming the bond went smoothly. The gods of this world seemed genuinely curious about her, as the golden light of the bond lingered on her for a few more breaths, while it only flashed and disappeared on the Ling brothers.

After the bond is formed, a small blue mark will appear on the man's wrist, while the woman will not have this mark.

Ling Zian remained expressionless as always, while Ling Ziyu maintained a dejected appearance. Ling Anran admired his expression for a while before leaving satisfied.

Marriage in this world is very simple; a contract is formed, and there are no formalities like wedding banquets.

After leaving the Marriage Bureau, Shu Zhiyi did not leave the Heavenly God Palace, but went directly to the place next to it where talents were tested. There was a large stone with a round hole inside, which appeared together with the Rule Stone and was used to test talents.

Shu Zhiyi put her hand into the round hole, and the stone suddenly turned a deep green.

"Supporting spiritual power, top-grade talent." The guard on duty said happily. Although he didn't know why this young lady, who was already an adult, was still testing her talent, it didn't stop her from being happy to see that the talent was top-grade.

In this world, children usually develop spiritual power around the age of four or five, and are then tested. The latest they can develop it is no later than 15 years old. The original owner of this body was an exception; she never had any spiritual power.

Ling Ziyu was also surprised by her expression and asked, "You haven't tested this before?"

"No, I hadn't awakened my spiritual power before. It was after a series of disasters at home that I escaped and experienced life-or-death moments that I awakened it. When I settled down before, I originally wanted to come and test it."

At that time, she was invited by the city lord to discuss "happy news". She knew that she could not stand up to the city lord. She was worried that if she found out that she had too good talent, Ling Anran would find another way to cause trouble.

Ling Zi'an patted his younger brother's shoulder and said, "Let's go home first, my wife. Is there any luggage in that little courtyard? Do we need to move it out?"

"No, I have spatial artifacts with me, I'll just go to the brokerage shop to cancel the lease." Shu Zhiyi led the way out of the Heavenly God Temple and went to the brokerage shop across the street.

After finishing everything, I returned to my residence on Qingpu Street, where that annoying steward from the City Lord's Mansion was actually there.

"I am a servant accompanying Young Master Ziyu in his dowry, and I am responsible for serving him."

Ling Zian's gaze turned cold: "Ziyu has no shortage of people. You can come and serve me."

"No, the city lord ordered that I am here to serve Young Master Ziyu."

"Zheng Tie, I get annoyed just looking at you. Stay away from me." Ling Ziyu's disgust was written all over her face.

"Then I'll have to trouble Young Master Ziyu to bear with it." Zheng Tie was in an even worse mood. He was a perfectly good steward of the city lord's mansion, but he had been banished to this place. He desperately needed to beat and scold someone to vent his anger.

"Serving you? I want Ziyu to teach me weapon crafting. Go and prepare everything." Shu Zhiyi said.

Zheng Tie glanced at the people present, then turned and went to the warehouse.

As soon as he left, Ling Zian hurriedly said, "This person is very insidious and cannot be left by Ziyu's side. Ziyu is already a support spirit master, and now her spiritual sea is shattered, and she can't even stand up. He will use underhanded methods to torment Ziyu."

"You think he's safe just because he's near you? His rank isn't low, is it? Even during a hunt, if he just gives you a push, you'd have a hard time escaping unscathed!"

"Right, right, brother, let's keep him by my side. He wouldn't dare kill me." Ling Ziyu realized.

Seeing that the two brothers were about to argue, Shu Zhiyi raised her hand to stop them: "He was sent to monitor us, so we can monitor him in return."

"what?"

"Just wait and see, Zian. Go and arrange the hunting. We'll go hunting as soon as possible. We can't just sit around and do nothing. Ziyu, you stay with me. Except when you're sleeping at night, don't leave my side. Take Zheng Tie with you too, take him with you at all times."
