Translator: 549690339

“That Jiang Cheng, I have finished the Translation Talisman you asked me to make a few days ago. When can you come and try it? Should I bring it over, or…” The sound from the communication talisman paused for a moment, “you come… to my house?”

“Hmm, you can bring it to Wuyue Residence this afternoon,” Jiang Cheng said.

Yue Linger:

“What’s wrong?”

Hearing that Yue Linger had gone silent, Jiang Cheng spoke up and asked.

“It’s nothing, what time in the afternoon?”

“Two-thirty.”

“Alright…”

“Hmm. See you this afternoon.”

Jiang Cheng disconnected the communication talisman and returned to the dining table.

His whole family was staring at him, the only exception being his uncle Sun Qing, who pretended to be eating.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Cheng asked, puzzled.

Zhou Wenqi watched Jiang Cheng, trying to decipher something from his expression. This move was very effective when dealing with dishonest merchants. But the experienced Zhou Wenqi couldn’t glean anything from her son Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng’s state of mind was quite tranquil, like a lake that never rippled, calm and serene.

“Are you in love?” Zhou Wenqi asked.

“Nope,” Jiang Cheng answered directly.

“Really?”

“No.”

“Then who is Yue Linger?”

Jiang Cheng was startled, wondering how his mom knew Yue Linger.

However, Jiang Cheng was always forthright and simply said, “A colleague.”

“What about Lin Yao?”

Jiang Cheng was startled, then looked toward Sun Yuan.

Sun Yuan spread his hands in a “Ah right, it was me who told”, I-give-up kind of way.

“A junior from high school,” Jiang Cheng honestly replied.

Even though Jiang Cheng answered very straightforwardly, as if he wasn’t lying at all,

Mrs. Zhou, with her shrewdness, still keenly noticed the pause before Jiang Cheng answered the questions.

Mrs. Zhou could at least be certain that Jiang Cheng hadn’t lied, but he definitely hadn’t told the whole truth. At the very least, not all of it.

Zhou Wenqi decided not to ask any further and said, “I heard that you’ve opened a talisman drawing studio. Would it be convenient for mom and dad to take a look?”

“Of course,” Jiang Cheng nodded.

“When would it be convenient?”

“How about tomorrow? Morning or afternoon works,” Jiang Cheng considered that he needed to test talismans with Yue Linger in the afternoon and had arranged to have dinner with Bai Xiaohe in the evening, so he chose the time for tomorrow.

Zhou Wenqi and Jiang Lei exchanged a look and silently understood each other without speaking.

Jiang Lei knew that his wife wouldn’t play by the rules because if they went when it was convenient for Jiang Cheng, what could they really see?

Across the dining table, the clear-headed onlooker Sun Qing had already started to worry for Jiang Cheng. None of Jiang Cheng’s several girlfriends were easy to deal with. And he also wondered if Jiang Cheng had heeded his earlier advice not to overexert himself. He hoped Jiang Cheng wouldn’t be caught in the act of a multi-person sport.

However, Jiang Cheng seemed completely unfazed by his parents’ potential inspection and ate as if nothing were amiss.

Not wanting to stand Yue Linger up, Jiang Cheng left the family gathering early and returned to the studio.

Before two-thirty, Yue Linger arrived.

“Because I need to collect your body movements, I’ve made some special Fluorescence Talismans that need to be attached to your body.”

Yue Linger said, taking out many talismans from her storage bag, showing Jiang Cheng the results of her research over this period.

“This one is the Translation Talisman you wanted. I haven’t optimized it yet. I’m planning to first see how effective it is. Uh, are you ready?”

On the scene, Jiang Cheng, with Fluorescence Talismans attached, a Memory Talisman recording his movements, the Translation Talisman for translating, and the final BOSS Intelligent Puppet Talisman, were all lined up.

“I’ll activate these three talismans, there, now start moving and give it a try,” Yue Linger said.

Jiang Cheng, following the content of the Killing Sword Skills, performed a few moves. Then Yue Linger temporarily stopped translating and took the Intelligent Puppet Talisman that had recorded Jiang Cheng’s movements.

“Shall you try it, or shall I?” Yue Linger asked.

“I’ll try, you have a higher cultivation level, and I’m afraid that if you start moving, I won’t be able to contain you,” Jiang Cheng said.

Yue Linger, holding the Intelligent Puppet Talisman, stood in front of Jiang Cheng.

She stood at a height of 1.68 meters, which was not short among girls, but still half a head shorter compared to Jiang Cheng.

The difference in height made it not so easy for Yue Linger to attach a talisman to Jiang Cheng’s forehead.

She needed to stand very close to Jiang Cheng and tip-toe in front of him, then raise her hand to place the talisman on his forehead.

In front of Jiang Cheng, Yue Linger seemed quite hesitant, even though she had already agreed with Jiang Cheng on the placement of the talisman, she still found it necessary to confirm it again with a bit of trouble.

“So, I’m going to stick it on,” she said.

“Hmm.”

“I’m really going to stick it on your head,” she said.

“Hmm.”

Just as Yue Linger was about to actually stick the talisman on, her long-tipped toes suddenly softened, and she toppled over toward Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng’s reaction was online; he stretched out his hand to encircle Yue Linger’s waist, stabilizing her.

“Are you okay, Yue?” Jiang Cheng asked with concern.

Yue Linger was lying in Jiang Cheng’s arms, and before she could indulge any further, she saw Liu Qing on the balcony behind him.

Liu Qing had no expression and just looked at her with an indifferent gaze.

Under Liu Qing’s stare, Yue Linger’s pretty face instantly turned red.

She hurriedly explained, “No, I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

Jiang Cheng thought Yue Linger was speaking to him, so he reassured her, “It’s okay, everyone makes mistakes. Just help me stick it on quickly.”

This time, Yue Linger didn’t hesitate much. She tiptoed, raised her hand, and pressed the Intelligent Puppet Talisman onto Jiang Cheng’s forehead.

After that, the talisman began to exert its power.

Jiang Cheng felt his body lose control for a moment, as if he were watching a live-action movie.

The Intelligent Puppet Talisman started to act according to the movements Jiang Cheng had preset. Facing Yue Linger, the Intelligent Puppet Talisman directly picked up a stool nearby and smashed it at her.

But Yue Linger was, after all, a two-ring Talisman Master with a cultivation level of nine levels of Qi, far beyond Jiang Cheng’s match.

She immediately threw out a second-order Golden Light Talisman, creating a golden light shield in front of her.

Seeing that it couldn’t break the Golden Light Talisman, the Intelligent Puppet Talisman turned to go after Liu Qing. After all, Jiang Cheng’s preset for the Intelligent Puppet Talisman was “Highly Efficient Sharkman.” If he couldn’t kill this one, he should kill the next.

However, before the Intelligent Puppet Talisman could reach Liu Qing, it seemed to be triggered by some condition and turned back to go after Yue Linger.

The duration of the Golden Light Talisman was about to pass, and Yue Linger anxiously asked Jiang Cheng, “Shall we keep trying?”

In his mind, Jiang Cheng thought there was no need; a talisman of this level was sufficient for use in the Illusion Realm. Unfortunately, he was controlled by his own Intelligent Puppet Talisman and couldn’t speak.

Liu Qing was not to be relied upon, and with no one else left in the room but Yue Linger, she didn’t hesitate and directly threw a second-order Binding Immortal Rope.

The Binding Immortal Rope turned into two glowing ropes in mid-air, wrapping around Jiang Cheng’s arms and legs and tying him up tightly.

“Phew.”

Yue Linger breathed a sigh of relief.

If she hadn’t been much stronger than Jiang Cheng and had made preparations, she might have really fallen into the hands of the Intelligent Puppet Talisman today.

People with an Intelligent Puppet Talisman attached to them knew no fear, felt no pain, sought to kill with a single strike, they were practically madmen!

Thud, thud, thud.

The room door was knocked abruptly.

Liu Qing, who had only been able to watch the scene unfold until now, finally had a chance to act.

She rose from the balcony, stepped over Jiang Cheng who lay on the ground, passed the just-catch-her-breath Yue Linger, and went to the door to open it.

Liu Qing saw a middle-aged man and woman.

They were quite ordinary, with not high cultivation levels, the only thing worth her attention was that this couple somewhat resembled Jiang Cheng.

“Are you Yue Linger?” the middle-aged woman ventured.

Liu Qing shook her head and said, “Liu Qing.”

She’s not Yue Linger?

Jiang Cheng’s parents were shocked speechless upon seeing Liu Qing.

On one hand, the girl was stunningly beautiful, and on the other hand, she was not Yue Linger!

Then where were Yue Linger and Lin Yao?

So how many women exactly had Jiang Cheng hidden without telling them?

“Hello, may I ask if you need something from me?”

Yue Linger asked confusedly, coming to the doorway.
