Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 153 The Celestial Evolution Clan 2

"Di-"

"Young Miss, it's alright, you can come out now."

The doctor in the white coat turned on the equipment and spoke to the girl inside.

"Thank you!"

The girl smiled, her eyes sparkling like stars. The doctor was momentarily stunned and quickly lowered his head to hide his embarrassment, but his face quietly flushed.

"No need to thank me, Miss. This is my job. The test results will be available in an hour, and I will deliver them to the Marshal then!"

The young doctor bent down slightly and changed the subject.

His adorable reaction made Tai Shushang cover his mouth and laugh, but he didn't expose his embarrassment: "Okay, I understand."

He boarded the car home with light steps, clearly in a good mood.

"Is Miss so happy that the master is back?" The driver, who had served the Taishu family for many years, couldn't help but tease.

"Hmm! Daddy hasn't come back for a long time. I don't know what he's been busy with. He hasn't had time to come back and see me." Taishu Shang pouted and said in a slightly coquettish tone.

The driver was amused by her expression: "Isn't the master back now? He must still be thinking of Miss."

The driver's words pleased Uncle Shang, and he turned to look out the car window, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Dad...it's been so long since he's come back.

-

The family gathered together for a lively meal, and Taishu Shang fell asleep in her father's warm embrace. This was the most peaceful sleep she had had in the days since her father passed away.

In the middle of the night, Taishu Shang suddenly had a nightmare. He couldn't remember what the scene was like, but he was suddenly awakened. He looked around by the moonlight and realized that he was back in his room.

"Bam—"

A slight knocking sound came from outside the door.

"Hmph! I endured humiliation and changed my name back then, just because you wanted me to remember your promise. Now I've fulfilled my promise, but when are you going to fulfill yours?!"

A very faint voice came from behind; it was his father, but not the father Tai Shushang remembered.

Perhaps because it was late at night, or perhaps for some unknown reason, Taishu Shang heard the sounds coming from below very clearly.

"I...we..."

The mother's trembling voice came through, carrying a slight sob and hidden fear.

"I'm sorry... but... but..."

"But what?"

"...I...I'll die!"

"What does that have to do with me?"

The father's cold voice reached Taishu Shang's ears like a bolt from the blue, shattering Taishu Shang's preconceived notions about his father.

"Back then, you made a promise to me that as long as I could help you bear children and give the Tianyan Clan a chance to continue its lineage, you would help me achieve immortality! What? Only twenty-odd years have passed, and you're already going back on your word?"

To bear children? The Celestial Race? Immortality?

What on earth is going on?!

"I...I don't want to die..." the mother weakly protested, "I want to see Ah Shang get married, I want..."

"What are you dreaming about?"

The father's voice was laced with sarcasm: "Do you think that knowing your clan's secret, I would marry off Ah Shang, who inherited your abilities, to someone else, and let that person get the opportunity?! Don't be silly! Maybe I didn't have that thought before, but your delays are making me impatient. If you really don't want to die, why don't you just use our daughter's life as payment?"

"What...what do you want to do? No...Ah Shang doesn't know anything...no..."

"Don't want it? You've changed your mind and want to break your promise. I've worked so hard all these years to get to this point, and you think you can just throw away all my efforts with a single rejection? — Stop struggling. If you can willingly keep your promise, I might take pity on you and let our daughter give birth to a healthy baby boy, and then let her — help me achieve immortality!"

"You'd better think this through carefully. This is our daughter's medical report from today. She's clearly in her twenties, but she still looks like she's thirteen or fourteen. Moreover, she's recently shown signs of awakening. You know what that means. You'd better give me a result right away, or I really can't wait any longer!"

Tai Shushang couldn't help but clench her fists. These few words had a huge impact on her, especially the fact that her parents knew the reason why she couldn't grow up.

As a child, she was good-looking and had a high social status, so she was surrounded by a large group of second-generation rich kids. Although everyone had a bit of an ulterior motive when they met, they eventually became genuine friends. However, because of her perpetually youthful appearance, Tai Shushang always looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. Some of her childhood playmates had grown into middle-aged men, and Tai Shushang looked different standing next to them. Her friends gradually drifted away. She originally thought that she really had dwarfism or something similar, and she had been sad and disappointed. But she had really let go of it when she suddenly heard that there was another reason!

The loving relationship between her parents was an illusion; they were only together because of a promise. She was a member of the Tianyan Clan with a special identity, and her father wanted her and her mother's lives... There was so much information that life suddenly revealed its cruel side.

There was no more sound from his father outside, only his mother's broken cries. Taishu Shang hesitated for a moment, then got up from the bed and sneaked out in the dark.

His father was no longer there. Taishu Shang's mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't help but walk up to his mother: "Mom..."

"Ah... Ah Shang..." The mother turned around in disbelief: "How did you get here? You saw everything, didn't you?"

“I didn’t see it, but I heard it.” Taishu Shang pointed to his ear, his lips twitching a few times before he couldn’t help but ask, “Mom, I want to know… what exactly did you mean by what you told Dad?”

The mother's sobbing stopped abruptly, and the atmosphere remained silent for a long time before she finally spoke, albeit helplessly.

The Celestial Race is a very special race. This race was born in the Immortal Realm, and they appeared almost as soon as the Immortal Realm appeared.

They live at the border between the celestial realm and the divine realm. In normal times, they look no different from ordinary people, and sometimes their strength is even weaker than that of ordinary mortals.

However, they possess a magical ability that can be applied to themselves or others. Each member of the Tianyan Clan has only one chance in their lifetime to use this ability, and after using it, they will die in various ways.

It was this very ability that brought annihilation to the Tianyan Clan.

One by one, the people of the Tianyan Clan died, but the greedy humans continued to rush forward. The patriarch of the Tianyan Clan made a decisive decision, wanting to preserve a seed for the Tianyan Clan. So, he secretly sent away his daughter, who was also the mother of Taishu Shang, to one of the three thousand minor worlds in the mortal realm, leaving her with the task of bearing offspring for the Tianyan Clan.

Also sent away was a member of the Tianyan clan, who was responsible for serving Taishu Shang's mother. After they came to this world, they were unable to adapt to life here and were picked up by Taishu Yannuo, who was still a poor boy at the time. Taishu Yannuo chose to take care of them because he wanted to find a wife for himself. He wanted to have children and get married, so the two naturally came together.

The two had a happy life, but one day, the Tianyan clansman who was responsible for taking care of Taishu Shang's mother was in a car accident and was in critical condition. When Taishu Shang's mother heard the bad news, she fainted on the spot. Taishu Yannuo took care of his wife and went to see that person for the last time.

Knowing that after her death, the woman would have only one member left in the Tianyan Clan, and that she didn't even know if there would be any next generation, she had no choice but to use her last strength to tell Taishu Yannuo about the Tianyan Clan. She only hoped that Taishu Yannuo could help Taishu Shang's mother give birth to a child and ensure that the child would grow up safely. Taishu Yannuo agreed, but a different thought arose in his heart.

He desires immortality—and the Tianyan Clan's abilities can help him achieve this goal; however, the Tianyan Clan members must be willing to activate these abilities…

So, Taishu Yannuo made a deal with Taishu Shang's mother. To ensure he would keep his promise, he changed his name to Yannuo, constantly reminding himself to keep his word.

This transaction completely broke the heart of Taishu Shang's mother.

Now that the child has grown up safely, it's time to fulfill the promise...

"And then what happened?"

Yu Liu looked at Tai Shu Shang, who had his back to her, and asked hesitantly.

"Ha! Later, my weak mother... committed suicide! She said she wanted to see me get married, have children, and live on, but in the end, she still stabbed herself and sent herself to the Western Paradise!!" Taishu Shang almost roared the last sentence. "She told me to escape, to escape Taishu Yannuo's control. She didn't want to implicate me, but wasn't that also a manifestation of her selfishness? She just left, ending it all, but Taishu Yannuo's wish for immortality hadn't been fulfilled. The only one who could help him achieve this goal was me. From that day on, my whole life consisted only of running away, until... Taishu Yannuo died of old age, hahahaha!! Isn't that ridiculous!"

"My life... was ruined by my parents."

Taishu Shang smiled with relief: "Now I am about to die, all of this is in the past, but I am still not reconciled. I want to live for myself once, but I no longer have the chance."

She looked intently at Yu Liu, her eyes clearer than ever before: "I want to see a different version of myself! You people from the divine realm found me because of this ability I haven't used yet. Anyway, I'm going to die soon, so it doesn't matter to me whether I use this ability or not, but I still followed my heart."

"Do the things I can't do myself, and live a different life using my identity."

She looked at Yu Liu, her tone extremely solemn.

"I've been alone all my life, from beginning to end. If possible, try to gain more love from other people. The more people who like you, the stronger you will become. Keep going, I'll always be watching you."

She tilted her head, tears glistening in her eyes.

Yu Liu wanted to comfort her, but didn't know where to begin.

"The rest is up to you. As for me, I'll just quietly be a dying man..."

“…Then we’ll be going.” Yue Sheng didn’t know how to respond to this, and said after a moment of silence.

"Let's go..."

Tai Shushang waved her hand as if shooing away flies, but it was clear that her mood had improved.
