Chapter 511 - 29: They Would Never Expect This_2
Wait a minute... Chen Lusi doesn’t really think like that, does she!? What’s this about direct ball beats natural disposition??
Si Yujie had a slightly peculiar expression, then she rested her chin on her hand, carefully observing Chen Lusi for a moment, and couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
"What’s the matter?"
Chen Lusi noticed Si Yujie’s unusual gaze and asked.
"Nothing... Ji Xin should be sending you detailed information on the two Empowerer organizations later, so you don’t really need to ask me."
Si Yujie shook her head, then said, "So you should answer my question instead, was that God Summoning Talisman meant for Lin Ying and her sister?"
"Yeah."
Chen Lusi hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Impressive... and you’re really good to them."
Si Yujie saw Chen Lusi nodding, thought of the scene where Lin Ying used the talisman, and seemed a bit emotional, then asked, "How did you do it?"
"Honestly, I haven’t figured it out yet... it was a lucky mistake."
Chen Lusi briefly explained the process of modifying the ’God Summoning Talisman’.
And he still hasn’t figured it out yet.
Just earlier, he didn’t even know how to write his own name on it, acting purely on instinct, so he isn’t sure yet if it’s the cat’s doing or if it’s effective just because he drew it.
This probably won’t be clear until he seals his own technique on the talisman paper.
"..."
Si Yujie listened, nodded lightly, then mischievously asked, "So you did all that... just so you could always appear by their side?"
"It’s not that exaggerated."
Chen Lusi was silent for a moment, a bit embarrassed: "Although that’s my main purpose... the fact that it could actually work this way was an unexpected turn, and now it seems this talisman’s application isn’t just limited to quickly appearing by their side."
"Oh?"
Si Yujie propped her chin on her hand, drawing out the sound, revealing a smirk, "So you don’t mind if I use it too?"
Chen Lusi: "?"
"Then paint one for me as well."
Si Yujie extended her hand, smiling: "I think it’s interesting, to have a strong helper whenever necessary, in case Xiaoyan faces something, and I’m somehow restricted, like last time with Bell limiting me, it would be really useful, please."
Chen Lusi: "..."
"I want one too."
Tang Language, who was just giggling earlier, caught on and extended her fair little hand to Chen Lusi as well.
"For what reason?"
Chen Lusi paused for a moment, looking at Tang Language.
"I haven’t thought of a reason yet, but it could be used as a Protective Talisman!"
Tang Language spoke with righteous conviction: "If there’s someone I can’t beat alone, I definitely can if you’re with me! And you wouldn’t laugh at me..."
Chen Lusi: "..."
At the same time, a little girl who had been standing beside Si Yujie all along suddenly grasped the table’s edge with both hands, stood on her tiptoes, and peeped her little head out.
...
When Lin Ying came out of the bathroom.
She happened to see Chen Lusi standing expressionlessly in front of Tang Language and Si Yujie.
"What’s up?"
Lin Ying tilted her head, curious.
"Nothing."
Chen Lusi came back to his senses, shook his head lightly, then looked at Si Yujie and said, "I need to head back first, I’ll probably be back later."
"Alright."
Si Yujie stifled a laugh and nodded.
Chen Lusi immediately took hold of Lin Ying’s hand, leading her out of Celestial Strategy Trading.
Though he said it was just one, Si Yujie wasn’t merely asking him to draw just one...
Chen Lusi feared if he stayed any longer, he’d really become an on-call errand boy in the future.
Si Yujie alternated between saying she treats him as a little brother, then suggested that his earlier drawings might not work, and then even played the daughter card.
She almost had Chen Lusi stay put to paint talismans.
What’s the point of calling it a ’God Summoning Talisman’... it feels more like a ’On-Call Talisman’ now.
Si Yujie supported her chin with one hand, watching Chen Lusi leave with Lin Ying, then glanced down at several ’Chen Lusi Summoning Talismans’ on the table and chuckled softly.
"Why did you have him draw so many?"
Tang Language peered at the God Summoning Talisman Chen Lusi had made for her, then suddenly turned to Si Yujie, suspiciously asking, "This isn’t like you. You usually hate bothering others and being bothered, so what’s with the aunt-like chuckles just now?"
"Don’t you find it amusing when Chen Lusi tries to keep a serious face?"
Si Yujie replied nonchalantly: "Especially when he’s under pressure."
"..."
Tang Language heard this and subtly distanced herself from Si Yujie, retorting: "I can’t understand you older women’s interests."
"...Indeed, a three-hundred-year-old little girl is truly young."
Si Yujie’s breath hitched, then she shot Tang Language a glance: "I’m sorry if my interests as a not-yet-thirty-year-old ’old woman’ confuse you."
"Uh..."
Tang Language, seemingly recalling something, blushed: "I meant mental age! Mental age! Who can understand your preferences anyway? It feels weird..."
"That’s because you haven’t experienced the regular work life."
Si Yujie let go of her supported chin, stretched mightily, speaking softly as she did: "You think everyone can live like you, doing nothing but eat and sleep all day, then frolic around. If you get confined in a similar space, you’d realize how valuable and rare it is to have a trustworthy and interesting colleague.
It wouldn’t take long, confine you for a week, and you’ll probably be rolling on the floor in your original form when you see Chen Lusi."
"Who would roll in front of him!" Tang Language instantly retorted.
But Si Yujie didn’t respond to her.
She suddenly reached out to tousle the head of the little girl beside her, then gently said, "Xiaoyan, mom’s not complaining about this life, it has nothing to do with you, it’s just spur of the moment."
