Jiang Yue didn't notice Lu Jingnian's actions, and even if she did, she would pretend not to see them.

As long as Lu Jingnian doesn't expose her, she will continue to pretend.

Jiang Yue put the blood from the syringe into a porcelain bottle on the table.

Then, she took the pen that Old Man Chen had given her, dipped it in the blood, and waited until the pen tip was stained with blood. Then, she took the paper figure she had cut out earlier and carefully wrote her birth date and time on it.

The pen that Old Chen gave me was entirely the color of jade, but after being soaked in blood, the nib turned blood red.

The characters written with this pen are as thin as hair.

After carefully writing down her birth date and time, Jiang Yue put down her pen and began to silently recite incantations and form hand seals in front of the paper figure in front of her.

A few seconds later.

Jiang Yue stopped what she was doing and looked nervously at the paper figure on the table.

Lu Jingnian stood beside Jiang Yue, also somewhat nervous.

Time passed second by second...

One second... two seconds... five seconds... ten seconds...

Half a minute, then a minute, passed, but the paper figure on the table showed no reaction whatsoever.

Jiang Yue's initial nervousness has now turned into disappointment in her eyes...

Lu Jingnian comforted her, "Don't be discouraged. This is your first time. It's normal to fail. Let's try again."

Jiang Yue nodded and was about to pick up the pen to try again when the paper figure on the table suddenly moved!

"Lu...Lu Jingnian, it moved..."

Jiang Yue excitedly grabbed Lu Jingnian's hand, and looking at the paper figure standing up on the table, she was so happy she almost jumped up.

Although it wasn't a complete success, seeing Jiang Yue happy made Lu Jingnian happy too.

"Yes, my Yueyue is really amazing."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little man suddenly collapsed, a flash of fire appeared, and he turned into a wisp of ash and fell onto the table.

"It's already failing so quickly."

Jiang Yue looked at the dust on the table and sighed.

This thing is definitely not easy to learn.

"You're already very good; you managed to make it move on your first try."

Lu Jingnian was afraid she would lose confidence, so he gently comforted her.

"I'll try again."

Jiang Yue did not lose confidence; on the contrary, she was now extremely interested in these things and became more determined with each setback.

Picking up the pen again, Jiang Yue said to Lu Jingnian, "Lu Jingnian, you go ahead and do your thing. You don't need to stay with me all the time. I'll be fine here."

"Okay, I'll go take a shower first, then you can try it."

Lu Jingnian was also afraid that his presence would put pressure on Jiang Yue, so he went to take a shower first.

"Be careful when you wash it, and don't let the wound get wet."

Jiang Yue gave Lu Jingnian a few words of advice out of concern, and after he went to the restroom, she started practicing seriously again.

She practiced so diligently that Jiang Yue didn't even notice when Lu Jingnian finished showering and came out of the bathroom.

Seeing how focused Jiang Yue was, Lu Jingnian didn't disturb her. He casually picked up a book and sat on the bed to read.

Although he said he was reading, Lu Jingnian focused most of his energy on Jiang Yue, glancing at her every now and then.

Time passed slowly, and almost everyone in the compound was asleep, but Jiang Yue was still studying diligently, and the more she studied, the more energetic she became.

Lu Jingnian looked at her and unknowingly fell asleep.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but in his hazy state, Lu Jingnian heard Jiang Yue calling him.

"Lu Jingnian... Lu Jingnian, wake up..."

His arm felt like it had been shaken twice, but the movement was too light, not like the strength a human would have. Lu Jingnian frowned and opened his eyes, only to see Jiang Yue standing by the bed, bending over and smiling at him.

"Lu Jingnian, you're awake!"

Seeing him open his eyes, Jiang Yue smiled even more happily.

"Yueyue!"

Lu Jingnian looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and reached out to touch her face, but before he could finish, he heard Jiang Yue's voice from the side.

"Lu Jingnian".

Hearing Jiang Yue's voice, Lu Jingnian suddenly woke up and turned to look at Jiang Yue, who was standing not far away. He saw Jiang Yue smiling and rapidly forming hand seals. In the blink of an eye, a white light flashed on Jiang Yue's body, and she instantly turned into a paper figure, which flew into Jiang Yue's hand.

After putting the paper figure away, Jiang Yue excitedly ran over to Lu Jingnian and asked, "Lu Jingnian, I succeeded! If I hadn't spoken just now, would you have been able to tell the difference between the real and fake?"

Looking at her excited expression, Lu Jingnian sighed inwardly with a sense of helplessness and nodded very seriously, "If you hadn't spoken up just now, I really wouldn't have been able to tell that she was a fake person."

He was half asleep and didn't realize it was a mannequin.

Lu Jingnian reached out and pulled her into his arms. "My Yueyue is really amazing. She succeeded so quickly."

But aren't you taking really bad care of your health? It's so late, and you haven't slept a wink all night.

The sky outside was already starting to lighten. Lu Jingnian glanced at the clock on the wall and realized that it was already past four in the morning. Even though it was getting light late now, it would be dawn in an hour.

This woman stayed up all night practicing this.

"You don't take care of your body at all, how should I punish you?"

Lu Jingnian gently pinched her chin and lowered his head to bite her lips.

Because he didn't use much force, Jiang Yue didn't feel any pain. Instead, she felt a ticklish sensation on her lips and couldn't help but stick out her tongue to lick them, which happened to touch Lu Jingnian's lips.

The soft, warm sensation made Lu Jingnian tremble. "Yueyue, are you inviting me?"

Lu Jingnian's voice was a little hoarse from just waking up. Jiang Yue looked at him, her gaze falling on his bobbing Adam's apple. She raised her head and gently bit it, then said in a seductive voice, "This is how you are invited."

Jiang Yue has never been able to resist Lu Jingnian; she just loves to mess around with him.

Especially when it comes to making a fuss in bed.

Normally, if Jiang Yue invited him like this, Lu Jingnian would definitely not refuse, and might even take advantage of the situation.

But not today. Jiang Yue hadn't slept all night, and he couldn't bear to torment her.

Lu Jingnian hugged Jiang Yue tightly and kissed her for a long while before reluctantly letting her go, whispering a promise in her ear in a deep voice.

"You didn't sleep last night, so go to sleep now. When you wake up, I'll take good care of you."

"You said it yourself, you can't go back on your word."

Jiang Yue shifted in his arms, finding a comfortable position, then suddenly remembered the paper figure in her hand. She immediately opened her eyes again and said to Lu Jingnian:

"By the way, the dummy I made can only be used for ten hours at a time."

Furthermore, it cannot be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.

After saying that, she handed the paper figure to Lu Jingnian, "When you use it, just drip my blood on her forehead."

She was only a beginner and couldn't keep a paper doll for very long; maintaining it for ten hours was already Jiang Yue's limit.
