Chapter 1: Mysterious Boy (1/2)
Mysterious Boy
Late at night, moonlight bounced off the ripples on the water, the surroundings stood still and calm.
A beautiful girl quietly left the room and sneaked out to open the backyard gate. A red flush crept in to her porcelain-smooth cheeks, making it difficult to hide her nervousness, expectation, and embarrassment.
The girl’s attire was simple, yet she looked very attractive. She was tall, her chest was tightly wrapped; her reed-slim waist was like a snake full of vigour. An ultra-short leather skirt clung to her bottom and showed off the curve of her perfectly round buttocks. Her thighs were round and delicate like white jade, slender and straight with no gap, full of youthful vigour.
In front, a teenager stood quietly under the moonlight, probably around 15 to 16 years old. He had a handsome face, fair skin, tall stature, and was dressed in coarse hemp garments. Even so, the garments could not conceal his outstanding traits. His pair of eyes were like stars in the night sky, shining with a touch of mystery and profoundness.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Chu Tian.” Meng Ying Ying’s voice trembled as she said, “Everyone is asleep, quickly come over, we will go up into my room quietly.”
She underwent psychological pressure for over a month before she finally decided to indulge herself.
A person’s youth may be short, but it should be full of bliss.
Meng Ying Ying was very nervous. One of her very experienced girlfriends once said that if Chu Tian could give an outstanding performances every night, she would be able to lead a comfortable and happy life; she even would eventually find her old-fashioned beliefs silly. If you had money, then you ought to enjoy yourself. If you didn’t, would it not waste your family’s generous financial conditions?
If this was found out, then her reputation might be ruined.
But Meng Ying Ying found it difficult to resist the temptation. When she was about 12 or 13 years old, she often fantasized about having such a person around.
Meng Ying Ying closed the door. She seemed stiff, her thin nose was covered with tiny little droplets of sweat, and her beautiful cheeks flushed bright red. Her midsection was tightly bounded by garments that pushed her breasts up, making it seem as if they would burst out any moment. Her little hands were moist and constantly clenched, not knowing where to put them.
The bedroom was bright and spacious, richly decorated with marble flooring and hand carved wooden bed inside. There were strange lights which emitted a soft light; they were carved from a crystal into the shape of a lotus so they appeared like a beautiful piece of art. The walls were covered with murals and the table filled with books. The pink bed canopy with flowing sheer curtains brought a faint fragrance that gently permeated the room; creating an ethereal romantic atmosphere. This was a good place to have an affair.
Chu Tian curiously asked: “Is this your first time doing this kind of thing?”
Meng Ying Ying lowered her flushed face: “Mhm… first time.”
Chu Tian smiled and said: “A pure wealthy miss like you is very rare.”
Meng Ying Ying was slightly embarrassed and asked with her mosquito thin voice: “The trafficker said you received special training and is an expert in this field. Are you really experienced?”
Chu Tian shrugged: “I believe there is no problem.”
Meng Ying Ying found that when Chu Tian spoke, his attitude was neither humble nor pushy, neither slow nor fast. Not like other slaves, he had the appearance of a highly educated person. The trafficker said that Chu Tian was a noble, but due to special circumstances, his family members were all killed. He was hunted down, reduced to slavery and was finally bought by Meng Ying Ying.
To let a lonely noble teenager to do this kind of embarrassing thing…
Who cares!
Tonight I must carefully test his ability. Hopefully he’s not just an empty shell and actually has the ability to satisfy all my needs!
Meng Ying Ying whispered: “I will get prepared; you take off your clothes first!”
Tonight will be a sleepless night, one must prepare for battle.
Chu Tian took off his coat and placed it on the table.
“I’m coming!”
“Help me with this!”
Meng Ying struggled to pull out a large wooden crate.
Large piles of books and scrolls piled up on the table.
Meng Ying Ying embarrassingly smiled: “I have accumulated a whole month of homework right here. The master will inspect it tomorrow. I have not yet answered a single problem. I will leave this to you and see if you can solve it.”
Having spent half a year worth of pocket money to buy him, if he proves his worth, then I will have plenty of time to relax and play!
Meng Ying Ying very much looked forward to it!
“This is more than I thought there would be.” Chu Tian opened a paper talisman filled with complex shapes and patterns. His mouth revealed a smile of contempt: “You should go to sleep and don’t worry about this homework.”
(TL Note: Talisman – Refer to this link .)
“Ah, you don’t know?” Meng Ying Ying’s face was full of disappointment, “This is an incomplete fireball talisman. Level 1 talisman structure is too complicated, so repairing it will be difficult. Only a real talisman expert can complete this. But the master does not require us to completely repair it. This is a correction exercise. The charm has 12 errors and you only have to find 5 to pass. There is a reference book, can you please look into it.”
Chu Tian’s dark eyes flashed in amazement: “This is considered difficult?”
Meng Ying Ying slightly puzzled: “Is it not difficult?”
“This is not even something you can lie to a child about!” Chu Tian laughed: “The intelligence of people of your time is a bit too low!”
Meng Ying Ying confused: “Our time? What do you mean!”
Chu Tian realized he said something that he shouldn’t, and immediately changed the subject: “Ok, let’s not talk about that, you first bring me the hardest problem you have.”
“My master is Zhang Li Qing. He is the leader of the Scrivener Guild within the city, specializes in making talisman. He has a high reputation so even the mayor has to give his respect. Are you sure you want to look at the hardest problem?”
Chu Tian unfazed: “Bring it out.”
Left with no alternatives, Meng Ying Ying could only do as he said and laid out the huge scroll. The scroll contained many complex diagrams, like many spider webs stacked on top of each other. Ordinary people would get dizzy just by looking at it.
“This is a new earth elemental talisman my master has been researching. After 80% of his intensive research, he hit a stalemate in his research line and could not proceed further anymore. Because he could not come up with anything else, he published the blueprint to search for new inspirations in order to complete it. I was curious and brought one back at that time, but I could not understand it at all, let alone give a useful feedback on it. I suggest you not to waste your time, since it is not something that ordinary people can understand.”
Chu Tian took a glance and said: “This is a mere level 1 earth elemental talisman blueprint, very rough, undeveloped, off the mark, low standard, and incomplete.”
He took only one glance to recognize the type of talisman?
Such a feat should be almost impossible!
Because a normal person would take at least several days to figure it out!
Meng Ying Ying was shocked and surprised: “Have you already looked at the blueprint before?”
Chu Tian was too lazy to explain: “Bring me a pen.”
Meng Ying Ying was very suspicious and handed over a red crystal pen. Can this boy really understand the master’s blueprint?
“This is wrong, that is wrong, wrong, wrong….. All wrong!” Chu Tian quickly made a dozen red circles on the blueprint: “Diagram errors, runes overlapping, confusing logics, absurd ideas….. beginner’s mistakes all over the place. Is this really talisman engineering? This is simply a perfect collection of mistakes. Even though your master is brainless, but I will praise him for having the guts to release this rubbish out to the public.”
