Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 245: Chapter 216 What if we get divorced_2
Consort Li’s eyes widened slightly in shock at Jiang Cheng’s maneuver.

“Cough, cough, cough.”

Liang Lu let out a choking cough.

The sudden twist from Consort Lin caught her off guard.

Blank Imperial Decree?

What kind of mind could come up with such a maneuver?

“And then?” Liang Lu asked.

Consort Lin replied, “Then His Majesty let Jiang Cheng go.”

“Without charging him with any crime?” Liang Lu frowned.

“No.”

“That’s not his style.”

“The main reason was that Prince Chu immediately spread the news of His Majesty opening his doors to the court and the streets, attracting a large group of key court officials eager to request an audience.”

Liang Lu nodded, “That’s not surprising.”

The battle over the blank imperial decree forced the old veteran to step forward, then used his influence to gather important officials, leaving the old veteran overstretched.

Jiang Cheng indeed had both courage and strategy, was bold yet meticulous.

It’s just a pity he’s an aide to Liang Hong.

…

“Your father seems quite normal, unlike someone possessed by an evil spirit,” Jiang Cheng told Liang Hong.

However, Liang Hong refuted decisively, “Impossible, in the past few months, my father has acted out of character, not only staying behind closed doors but not even visiting the harem. There is no other explanation but evil spirit possession.”

Jiang Cheng thought back to Emperor Liang’s mental state and felt there was some truth to what Liang Hong said.

According to the game’s plot, the Emperor’s life was nearing its end, to the point of pinning hopes on the Joyous Union Skill to prolong his life. He couldn’t possibly be as lively as a normal person.

“Prince Liang Wu is determined to get the Evil-Expelling Talisman, isn’t he?”

Liang Hong thought of his second brother, fifth brother, and even Liang Lu, each of whom was better suited to ascend the throne than he was.

If he did not strive now, then when?

Besides, the Void Venerable had specifically named Jiang Cheng to draw the talisman.

Would the Void Venerable harm him?

Liang Hong made up his mind, “I’ve betted everything on my Prince Mansion, how could I give up halfway?”

“Understood.”

Jiang Cheng nodded.

Since Liang Hong wanted it, he would draw it.

It wasn’t as if Liang Hong wasn’t going to pay.

“In that case, Prince Liang Wu, I’ll return home to design the plan and immediately let you review it once I have a talisman proposal.”

“Alright.”

After making their arrangement, Jiang Cheng went back home.

He hadn’t expected Yue Linger to be there as well.

“Yue?”

Seeing Jiang Cheng, Yue Linger breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I tried to contact you through a communication talisman earlier, but it said you were out of range. You gave me quite a scare.”

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, it was probably because there was no signal in the Emperor’s sleeping quarters.

“There might be no signal in the palace. Yue, did you need me for something?”

This winter vacation, like Jiang Cheng, Yue Linger hadn’t returned to Wuyue. The reason was that her talisman drawing was excellent, and her teacher had retained her to participate in the pre-research class for some big competition.

At least, that’s what Yue Linger claimed.

Yue Linger said, “It’s no big deal really, my teacher just gave me a task. The requirement is to draw a talisman, with the price of one hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones each.”

“One hundred thousand each? That’s definitely worth drawing,” Jiang Cheng commented.

Of all the talismans he had drawn, none was worth one hundred thousand.

“I thought it could be worth a try too, so I came to you to ask for your opinion,” Yue Linger said.

Jiang Cheng replied cautiously, “I haven’t drawn second-order talismans yet, how can I give you advice? Wouldn’t that be misleading?”

Yue Linger laughed, “Of course it wouldn’t be a second-order talisman. It’s just that my teacher’s request is a bit strange, and I wanted to ask how you would think about reducing costs from a conceptual standpoint.”

Jiang Cheng frowned, “Your teacher wants you to create a new talisman?”

“Of course, why else would they be willing to pay one hundred thousand per talisman?”

If it’s a new talisman worth one hundred thousand, that’s indeed not a lot.

“Go on, what are your teacher’s requirements?”

Yue Linger had provided Jiang Cheng with many valuable suggestions regarding talisman drawing, and he felt it was only right to help each other. He was therefore very willing to provide Yue Linger with some inspiration.

Yue Linger took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jiang Cheng.

The format on the paper was the planning format Jiang Cheng often used for his talismans.

Yue Linger had truly mastered the essence of talisman drawing.

Upon looking at the content on the paper, Jiang Cheng immediately furrowed his brow.

Put simply, Yue Linger’s teacher believed that due to the increase in Cultivators’ Cultivation Levels in Liang Kingdom, it had become increasingly difficult to sire offspring, exacerbating the aging trend in Liang Kingdom, leading to a promising outlook for the funeral industry.

A sense of déjà vu washed over him.

“`

Isn’t that perspective exactly the idea of that business prodigy, Prince Liang Wu?

Jiang Cheng continued to read.

What followed were the design requirements for a talisman.

They wanted Yue Linger to draw a convenient and quick Grave-Digging Talisman.

Just like Prince Liang Wu’s idea.

The only difference was that Prince Liang Wu dared to offer two million low-grade Spirit Stones, while Yue Linger’s mentor could only offer one hundred thousand.

Where did the missing one million nine hundred thousand go?

“What’s wrong, Jiang Cheng?” Yue Linger saw that Jiang Cheng had a strange look on his face and thought he was encountering difficulties with his ideas.

“It’s nothing, are you really thinking of drawing?” Jiang Cheng confirmed.

“Yeah, I can’t be of help over at Miaodan Workshop. You’ve been disappearing like a ghost recently, and I have nothing to do. I can’t just…”

Yue Linger glanced at a certain snake and said with envy, “I can’t just be incapable and rely on others to take care of me in the future, right?”

Liu Qing sniffed her nose, she smelled a scent of envy and jealousy on Yue Linger.

But Liu Qing didn’t care.

Because she often smelled these scents.

Sometimes, when she and Jiang Cheng were merely walking down the street, these scents would easily fill the air around her. Most of it directed at Jiang Cheng, and a lesser part at her.

At Mount Tian, she could often smell similar scents coming from elders.

Usually when she had a breakthrough or learned a new spell.

Jiang Cheng made a fair suggestion about Yue Linger’s Talisman: “Actually, the simplest method is to take a Smart Puppet Talisman and modify it, re-enter the actions, and with some specialized optimization, you can make the new talisman you need in just three days.”

Yue Linger shook her head: “No, the Intelligent Puppet Talisman is yours, I can’t sell it to my mentor.”

“Without the Intelligent Puppet Talisman, things do become a lot more complicated.”

Jiang Cheng frowned in thought.

Yue Linger rested her chin on her palm and watched Jiang Cheng, her eyes wide as if she could never get enough of him.

“Excuse me.”

The cool voice came from behind.

Yue Linger turned her head to look and was surprised to see Liu Qing?

“What are you going to do?”

Honestly, Yue Linger didn’t want to move aside. For someone with Jiang Cheng syndrome, the place by his side was priceless.

“Help him,” Liu Qing said.

“How will you help?”

“Move aside.”

“…”

In the end, Yue Linger still moved aside.

She wanted to see how Liu Qing was going to help Jiang Cheng.

And then she witnessed a scene she would never forget in her life.

Liu Qing took the initiative to extend her hand, placed it in Jiang Cheng’s palm, and he instinctively grasped it, beginning to knead her small hand.

The movements were smooth and practiced; clearly, it wasn’t the first time.

“Ah?”

Yue Linger couldn’t believe it.

What had she just seen?

The usually cold and aloof fairy proactively making physical contact with a man.

The usually respectful and polite to female cultivators man, unabashedly toying with someone else’s body.

And they weren’t even doing this in private, they were doing it right in front of me, huh?

Yue Linger was angry but also powerless.

If Jiang Cheng was really going to find her a stepmother, what could she as a daughter do!

She would just have to deal with it, what else could she do.

“Using an attack Talisman to create a rectangular pit is too difficult,” Jiang Cheng murmured to himself.

Yue Linger:…

Even though I really don’t want to see office romance.

But can you not contemplate work while fondling a female employee’s hand?

“Looks like we still have to rely on digging?” Jiang Cheng pondered again.

Yue Linger:…

Are you actually thinking about the talisman?

So it turns out I’m more important to you, right?

Yue Linger felt like she had scored one over Liu Qing.

Jiang Cheng was in the throes of a brainstorm.

Liu Qing sat quietly by his side, letting him seek inspiration. After cooperating many times, Liu Qing was no longer surprised by Jiang Cheng’s state of thought.

A convenient way to dig without using Intelligent Puppet Talisman…

Jiang Cheng vaguely grasped a thread of inspiration.
