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

"Okay, I understand." Ling Zi'an replied seriously, "My wife has been in the refining room for so long, should we call her?"

"I don't dare. She told me not to disturb her when she went in," Ling Ziyu said, somewhat conflicted.

"But we still need to eat dinner, right?"

"She didn't eat a proper lunch."

Before the two brothers could decide whether to invite someone out for dinner, Teng Jiamu arrived again carrying that large food box.

"Young Master Teng," Ling Zi'an greeted politely.

"Greetings, Fifth Young Master Ling. Where is Miss Shu?"

"She's in the refinery."

"Aren't you coming out for dinner this late?"

"We're just about to call the mistress," Ling Ziyu said, walking towards the refining room.

Shu Zhiyi put away all the materials and the cauldron, took the beads she had been refining all afternoon, and went out. As soon as she reached the gate, she saw the three people who had come to find her.

"Is there something you need?" Shu Zhiyi asked in a relaxed tone.

"Why do you look so pale?" Teng Jiamu asked first.

Ling Ziyu, having her words cut short, glanced at the person she disliked out of the corner of her eye.

"My lady, are you hungry? You didn't eat properly at noon."

"I'm fine, it's just that I wasted a lot of spiritual energy. Jiamu, is that food box for me?"

"Yes, I'll bring you some food. Today, the hunting team over there raided a pheasant's nest and made a few dishes with the tender chicken meat and eggs, plus a chicken soup. It needs to be simmered slowly to taste good. I'll bring it over tomorrow morning and have the kitchen keep it warm so you can have some when you wake up, okay?"

"Great, I'm hungry right now."

Shu Zhiyi brought out the table and chairs used for dinner yesterday and asked him to set out the food.

"Tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM), have Wu Qing wait for me at the camp entrance. I want to go to the lake tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll have Wu Qing bring another Martial Spirit Master tomorrow."

"No need, I'll send another Martial Spirit Master along," Ling Zian said.

Teng Jiamu looked at Shu Zhiyi with a questioning gaze. Wu Qing had already told him about what happened that morning.

"Okay, you can let Wu Qing do it herself."

"Okay." Teng Jiamu nodded in agreement, then took out another spatial artifact: "Inside are some materials for alchemy and weapon crafting. I didn't know what you were good at, so I took some of everything."

"I seem to be able to refine anything, which is quite different from ordinary spirit assistants." Shu Zhiyi naturally took the item from his hand, a ring-shaped spatial artifact.

"It's perfect that you're here, saves me the trouble of making another trip." Shu Zhiyi first took out the teardrop-shaped bead: "This was just made today, there are two in total, I'll give you one."

"For me?" Fujiyoshi took the beads with delight.

"Yes, once activated with spiritual power, it can connect with the holder of the other bead, but I don't know if there are any distance restrictions," Shu Zhiyi leaned closer to him and whispered.

"Huh? There are such magical artifacts?" Teng Jiamu quickly clenched his fist in surprise.

"When I refine something, I add the materials by feel, without a fixed quantity or order. Before I succeed, I don't even know what I've refined," Shu Zhiyi said. The development of spiritual power in this world is incomparable to that of a real cultivation world.

Remote communication, besides relying on human mail, also involves using domesticated communication birds or similar animals.

In the world of cultivation, these magical artifacts for remote communication have been used in countless creative ways.

"Is it possible to refine the same one again?"

"I haven't refined it repeatedly, but it should be possible. For example, this communicator's main materials are the spirit pearl of a river clam and the branches and leaves of the psychedelic flower."

Teng Jiamu blocked her way: "Don't explain it so clearly, this is your private refining method."

"Oh, you can eat with me. This," Shu Zhiyi took out the leaves she had made last time, "I need to teach you how to use it."

"Alright." Teng Jiamu sat down and then said to the two Ling brothers, "Fifth Young Master Ling, Sixth Young Master Ling, let's eat together."

Shu Zhiyi chimed in, "Yes, bring the dishes over and let's eat together."

Ling Ziyu's eyes reddened, and her tone was somewhat aggrieved: "Yes, my lady."

Shu Zhiyi had already picked up a piece of egg with her chopsticks and eaten it, oblivious to the grievances on someone's face.

Ling Zi'an had his subordinates bring over the food, and the two brothers sat at their table, finishing the meal in an awkward atmosphere.

After they finished eating, it was completely dark, and there were more flying insects. Shu Zhiyi swatted one away and said, "Looks like we can't eat out anymore."

"It's alright. The spirit master has already prepared insect repellent medicine today. Just sprinkle it around the area. Of course, if my wife wants to eat it inside the tent, that's fine too," Ling Zian said gently.

It's getting hotter and hotter, and eating in the tent can be a bit stuffy.

"We'll talk about it later," Shu Zhiyi said to Teng Jiamu, somewhat impatient with the insects surrounding her. "There are too many flying insects outside. Can you come inside the tent with me to talk?"

The world seems to value male chastity more, so she wanted to ask for his opinion first.

"Okay, let's go." Teng Jiamu smiled somewhat shyly.

In Shu Zhiyi's mind, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would form a bond with Teng Jiamu, so she led him towards her tent without any reservations.

"Sit down." Shu Zhiyi took out a pot and cup from her space and poured him a glass of water.

Teng Jiamu took the water, glanced around the small room, and concluded that she didn't trust the people around her at all, even carrying her own drinking water. It seemed that there was indeed something fishy about her marriage to the Ling brothers.

Shu Zhiyi explained to him how to store the leaf-shaped magic weapon for attack. Teng Jiamu did as instructed, and after finishing, he handed both leaves to her.

"Take one and wear it on your person, just in case." Shu Zhiyi only took back one; the one that had previously absorbed Ling Zian's spiritual power was used on the green-headed goose today. She hung the new one on her clothes.

This thing is a one-time product; it should be improved to see if it can absorb more spiritual energy.

"I see that both of the young masters of the Ling family have one, and the fifth young master of the Ling family is also of a high rank. Why didn't you ask him to get one for you?" Teng Jiamu asked in a casual tone, playing with the leaf in his hand.

"I made five in one batch, but I used the one I was wearing today. Ah," Shu Zhiyi punched her palm with her fist, "I was wondering what I had forgotten. Green-headed geese, I met them outside the camp today."

"What? You went out by yourself?" Teng Jiamu exclaimed anxiously, "Why didn't you call Wu Qing? A support spirit master's talent can't be used for combat; it's very dangerous outside."

"It's alright, it's alright, I won't go far, I can protect myself."

"That's not how it is."

"Alright, alright, I won't go out by myself anymore." Shu Zhiyi couldn't reveal that she had a space that allowed her to enter people's lives, so she changed the subject: "I read in a book that mallards are gregarious. Although I only encountered one today, could its flock be nearby?"

"Probably not. When I set up camp here, I carefully surveyed the area. It's impossible that I didn't find a flock of mallards, unless they were migrating here."
