Chapter 1: Mysterious Boy (2/2)
Chu Tian quickly made a dozen marks and left relevant notes in the blank spaces.
“You are the brainless one! How can you say that about Master Zhang!”
Disappointed!
Very Disappointed!
She had a feeling that Chu Tian was just a big liar.
Even though you are a noble and received a good education… How old do you think you are? To dare judge Master Zhang Li Qing like this.
He was simply crazy and arrogant to the extreme!
Meng Ying Ying had completely given up hope on Chu Tian, and angrily lessoned: “At the time when blueprint was released, it caused an uproar in Tian Nan City! Master has studied magic formations and talismans for decades, and thus has remarkable achievements in the field. What right do you have to say he is unworthy? And…..Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Are you listening to me? What kind of weird stuff are you drawing!”
In only a few minutes, just a few short minutes!
Chu Tian had completed a brand new blueprint on the back of the scroll!
The newly formed blueprint was less than half the size of the original. The runes were neatly and orderly arranged. Every rune looked like the precise result of a thousand trails. Every stroke in the blueprint was wonderfully artistic. As a whole, it gave a sense of perfection, of nature itself.
One could make people dizzy and uncomfortable, yet the other one gave them the same enjoyment as of looking at art. Two polar opposite experiences.
When Meng Ying Ying came over to look, her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.
She dared to swear to God, that this was the most beautiful talisman blueprint she ever had seen in her life. It had a mysterious power to captivate people. Simply a textbook perfect piece of work!
No!
Not even the great classical textbooks can be compared with this talisman. Even though Meng Ying Ying could not understand the content, but from a structural and artistic point of view, it was way ahead of the materials in textbooks.
Meng Ying Ying became more captivated the more she looked at it. She unconsciously started bending over, almost lying on the table. Her heavy bust tightly pressed against her collar, exposing her round curvaceous cleavage. The tightly encased bust raised two peaks, leaving a deep trench down the middle, enough to excite the imagination of any man.
I haven’t expected, this young missy is muse to her age even though she is so young.
Is this the legendary “you can only imagine but cannot be sought” busty loli?
I wonder how they feel to touch…
Meng Ying Ying did not notice that she was exposing too much, and thus stayed captivated for a whole 5 minutes. She raised her head and spoke: “I cannot understand this at all, but your work is very beautiful.”
“Level 1 Stone Skin Talisman, this is after I have rectified the original design and completed the subsequent parts.” Chu Tian said to the adorable missy: “But being limited by your master’s original design, this is the worst piece of work I have ever made. When you take it outside, do not say it was done by me.”
Chu Tian said it – not because he was worried about his reputation, but because he didn’t want to expose his capabilities too soon.
Meng Ying Ying dopily nodded.
Did she not realize what this all meant?
Forty-two thousand years ago, human philosophers discovered a way to cultivate magical power, giving humans the ability to establish a foothold on this land.
Twenty-six thousand five hundred years ago, humans discovered the secret of magic formations, causing a substantial increase in productivity, enabling civilization to make the transition from tribes to empires.
Fourteen thousand two hundred years ago, humans learned how to craft talismans. Since then, wars erupted and empires grew bigger. Talismans became a cultivator’s most important consumable. Talismans were associated with the strength of a cultivator, the strength of an army, and the strength of a country.
How could the birth of a new talisman not cause an uproar?
It represented unlimited wealth, honour, and prestige!
Meng Ying Ying only followed a simple train of thought. The only thing she was worried about was whether or not this mysterious fellow was truly dependable, and if he can finish her homework for her. Because all of this was on her mind, she could not fall asleep, so she just sat at the side of the table, worried that Chu Tian might slack off on the job.
She noticed that whether it was a hard and profound problem or a simple elementary problem, there was absolutely no difference to Chu Tian. He could find the solution in an instant, like someone that practiced this a thousand times and had already known all the answers. He completed each exercise at a lightning pace.
These flawless runes and formations, those extremely sophisticated arrangements and profound combinations was beautiful works of art, definitely not possible from a random scribble.
She found that watching Chu Tian working was akin to watching an artist painting. The whole process was free and effortless, filled with an aesthetic prowess.
Neither sluggish nor dead. Each stroke was precise, as if imbuing nature itself.
Meng Ying Ying was so absorbed into watching, she felt like she was enjoying a feast for both her eyes and her brain. An hour and a half had gone by unnoticed; more than 100 sheets of homework were neatly stacked on top of the table.
Chu Tian got up and stretched: “So bored, I almost fell asleep.”
Meng Ying Ying could not resist and pinched her white thighs…Ouch!
This really is happening! This is not a dream! This guy has just completed a month’s worth of homework in less than two hours.
“This task had no challenge to it, do you need any other services done?” Chu Tian said as he stared at the maiden’s pair of legs. Very white, very long, very mellow, very beautiful, just like a white jade carving. “Massages, baths, or even accompany others in bed. I am very experienced. Do you want to give it a try?”
Meng Ying Ying’s cheeks reddened: “No way!”
“How regretful, then I shall take my leave.”
Meng Ying Ying quickly asked: “Where to?”
Chu Tian yawned: “You know that I was held captive at a slave market. I went for several days without a good sleep but I finally found a good place now. What? Do you want to sleep with me?”
What is this guy’s brain full of!
“Pei! No ivory will come out of a dog’s mouth!” Meng Ying Ying quickly explained, “Let me tell you this, there are many bad guys in the city so I arranged an identity for you. You will be our family’s new culinary apprentice. There is an empty room in the house. Here, take this key.”
(TL Note: No ivory will come out of a dog’s mouth. – Something that is impossible.)
This missy sure is thoughtful.
When Chu Tian took the key and was ready to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the yard.
Chu Tian said as he knitted his brows: “Weird, I think someone is coming.”
Meng Ying Ying’s expression immediately changed: “This is bad, it’s JieJie! Hurry up and hide!”
(TL Note: JieJie(姐姐) means elder sister or used by girls to refer to an older girl they are close to.)
