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

"My lady, my brother really didn't mean it. Since Father passed away, we've depended on each other for survival. He's been protecting me with all his might, yet I still ended up in such a terrible accident. No matter how I explain, it's my own negligence. He's still incredibly remorseful. Zheng Tie must have been lying to my brother."

"Hmph!" Shu Zhiyi gave a light snort. She could understand their deep brotherly affection, but she didn't intend to compromise herself: "I will find myself another partner as soon as possible."

Ling Ziyu grew anxious: "You already have two partners, my brother and me, how are you going to find another one?"

"Are you my partners? We can only look but not touch. We're just business partners. I have no reason to suppress myself for you. Don't worry, I will keep my promise to give you a child with the surname Ling." Shu Zhiyi sat up, tidied her hair, and left the refining room.

The clothes in this world are somewhat similar to a simplified version of Song Dynasty clothing, but tight-fitting outfits, riding clothes, and armor are very popular. When not hunting, people also wear flowing outer robes, long skirts, open sleeves, and the like.

Shu Zhiyi always dressed very neatly, with narrow sleeves, short boots, and her hair tied up, looking like she was ready to fight and run away at any time. Even in the courtyard where she usually lived, there were only some bedding and clothes. All her other personal belongings were stored in her space.

In the evening, Ling Zian and Ling Ziyu came to the courtyard where she lived.

"My lady," Ling Zian said, his face filled with unease.

"My lady, what are you doing? Did you have a good dinner? I specially asked the kitchen to make you lotus root soup, did you drink it?" Ling Ziyu became more talkative.

"Practicing swordsmanship." Shu Zhiyi's answer was also brief.

Ling Ziyu gestured to her brother: "Your swordsmanship is quite innovative. I have a swordsmanship technique that's very suitable for support spirit masters. Shall I teach you?"

"No need. The sword technique I'm using now was created by my mother and father, and it's very suitable for spirit masters, so I won't trouble Young Master Ling." Shu Zhiyi put the sword aside and said calmly.

This sword was taken from their dowry. They need to make money as soon as possible, or she could try to forge a spirit sword herself.

"I...I'm sorry, my wife. I listened to slander today and lost my sense of propriety. I won't do it again."

"Okay, I understand."

"My lady, we will go hunting in three days."

"Is the flying boat ready?" The Ling family's dowry included a flying boat, but it was broken.

"Well, we used that broken flying boat and exchanged it with the weapon refiner for a smaller one. For our current hunting scale, the smaller one is enough." The main problem is that they don't have enough time, otherwise they could have just refined the original one and used it.

"understood."

After saying that, there was nothing more to say. Ling Ziyu looked around and hesitated before speaking, "My lady, shall I stay and keep you company? It's my fault. I really didn't know that after we formed a contract, a woman would... uh, I can do it. If you think my health isn't good, my brother is fine too. He's healthy and better looking than me."

Ling Zian didn't say anything, but his ears turned red.

Shu Zhiyi didn't want to accept this favor: "No need, you can go back."

"My lady, your body..."

"Get out!" Shu Zhiyi said in a calm tone. After speaking, she turned around and went back to her room, closing the door behind her.

For the next three days, Shu Zhiyi continued to keep Ling Ziyu by her side. She would respond when Ling Zian spoke to her, but the atmosphere between the three of them was still strange. Ling Ziyu always tried to get close to her and stand next to her. Ling Zian began to dress up, sometimes even changing his clothes three times a day, and even wearing an outer robe that he didn't usually wear.

Shu Zhiyi ignored it, remaining unmoved, and practiced swordsmanship for a long time every day, exhausting her energy and spiritual power.

Even after boarding the hunting airship, the two brothers maintained a lukewarm relationship with her.

"The hunting ground we're going to this time is Songlin Ferry, which isn't far from Qing Shi City. It'll take two days by airship. There's a large pine forest there, surrounded by rivers, plains, and mountains. It's a hunting ground with a rich variety of species, and we're probably not the only hunting team going."

"Um."

"Most importantly, ten years ago, Zixian Grass grew here," Ling Zian said slowly, as Ziyu's spiritual sea was already slowly repairing itself.

He heard that the restorative elixir was created by chance and could no longer be made. He absolutely could not let anyone know that his wife could create the elixir to restore his spiritual sea.

A broken spiritual sea means the end of her life. Once people know that she has refined this medicine, countless people will go crazy. If you then say that you can't refine it anymore, who will believe you?

"Oh, then let's find this Zixian Grass this time." Shu Zhiyi understood immediately.

"My lady, shall I teach you how to forge defensive magical artifacts?" Ling Ziyu approached her with a smile.

"I won't use it for now. The flying boat is too small, and it's not good for me to keep exploding things." Shu Zhiyi didn't want to refine anything recently.

"Alright then, the view outside is beautiful. Shall I go with you to the deck to see it?"

"Okay then." Shu Zhiyi put down the book in her hand and stood up.

Although it was called a deck, it was actually enclosed, but made to be transparent, so that you could see the outside world. Looking at the vast sky and the blue sky and white clouds, Shu Zhiyi's mood relaxed a lot, and a smile appeared on her face.

"My lady, this is a specialty candied fruit from Yanyang City. It's delicious, please try it."

Shu Zhiyi picked up a candied fruit and put it in her mouth: "It's sweet and sour, very delicious. What's Yanyang City like?"

"When Yanyang City was built, the stones quarried from the nearby Yanyang Mountain were all red. But red is too eye-catching and can easily attract a larger beast tide, so the residents there paint the outer walls twice a year."

"What are the special features of other cities?" Actually, there are books like the Annals of the Continent, but she has too many books to read and hasn't had time to read those yet.

For example, plant catalogs, wild animal catalogs, basic knowledge of alchemy and weapon crafting, etc. The original owner didn't like reading, and what she knew was mostly hearsay, so her memories were very complicated. If she wanted to fully understand this world, she had to read books systematically.

Seeing that she was willing to talk to him more, Ling Ziyu happily picked out some novel things to talk about, such as a city near which there were large and numerous insects, and the people there would catch and eat the insects.

Shu Zhiyi discovered that the world is actually very large. Although human settlements seem to be far apart, they are actually still relatively isolated when viewed in the context of the world as a whole. Most of the places are still unconquered by humans.

Two days later, they arrived at their destination, where a hunting team was already there. Ling Zian found a flat area that was neither too far nor too close to set up camp.

The people left behind by the hunting team came to say hello. When hunting, different hunting teams would look out for each other. After all, resources are plentiful, and whether you can get them depends on your ability. There's no need for internal competition.
