"Didn't you say you would protect me? Why are you sitting there like an idiot?" Cen Ji suddenly said.

Yan Ying was sitting on the edge of the bed. When she heard this, she turned her head and looked at Cen Ji. Was it what she thought? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if she was overthinking it?

"I...I, how can I protect you?" Yan Ying said weakly.

"How did you protect me last time? Have you forgotten after just one night?" Cen Ji raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly.

"Or I'd better go back." Yan Ying didn't dare to act rashly. What if Cen Ji was lying to her and she behaved like yesterday... wouldn't she lose face?

"It's curfew now, you should not have any Thousand Mile Talismans anymore, right? If your senior brother catches you... won't you have to follow the sect rules again?" Cen Ji saw that she had been walking for the past two days, so she must have used up the Thousand Mile Talismans and she didn't know how to draw one herself.

"How is that possible? The eldest brother is in seclusion. When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king. Who dares to catch me now?" Yan Ying stood up and walked towards the door with a heroic and confident look.

Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying and the corners of his mouth twitched. She looked really funny. She had imitated Yan Ying's rude temper very well.

[System: Host, please note, Cen Jing's favorability is +113, currently 0.]

[System: Mission completed, 50 points credited.]

I*!

Did she hear it right?

Yan Ying was so excited that she almost jumped up. Her heart was not in good condition. What was going on? Why did they add so much?

Could Cen Ji be sick and out of his mind? Why did he inexplicably like her and feel so happy?

One thousand points! Crazy, crazy! I’m going to get rich!

[System: I don't think he's pretending to be crazy.]

"Let me teach you how to draw talismans." Cen Ji said as he looked at Yan Ying who was walking to the door.

Yan Ying suppressed her excitement and turned around when she heard the voice.

Cen Ji is her baby now, what does her baby say?

"What talisman?"

"Qianli Talisman, don't you need it?" Cen Ji sat up from the bed again, propped up one leg against the wall and looked at Yan Ying with his head tilted.

Yan Ying really didn't have the Thousand Mile Talisman anymore. She had been very busy these past two days and had no time to learn.

Her cultivation has reached the Golden Core stage, and the Thousand Mile Talisman is a fourth-level talisman, so it should be effortless to draw it.

Besides, Cen Ji had just given her so much favorability, so let alone drawing talismans, even asking her to have sex would not be impossible.

Hehe, she won’t suffer any loss anyway.

[System: Tui! A woman without principles!]

"Okay!" Yan Ying returned to the house with a happy smile.

Cen Ji lit the oil lamp, walked to the table and took out a stack of spiritual paper from his Qiankun bag.

Yan Ying sat next to Cen Ji, watching his bony hands gently holding the brush, his left hand holding his sleeve, his right hand holding the brush, dipping it in ink smoothly, and then spreading out a palm-sized piece of spiritual paper.

Different levels of talismans also require different spiritual paper and ink. The spiritual paper that Cen Ji had was only suitable for drawing fourth-level talismans.

However... Cen Ji is clearly an outer disciple. Outer disciples do not receive spirit stones every month like inner disciples, and they even have to pay for food and accommodation.

The price of fourth-level spiritual paper is not cheap. Where did he get the spiritual stones?

"Look carefully." The brush in Cen Ji's hand fell on the paper, the tip of the brush moved and the ink was evenly distributed. In the blink of an eye, the brush in his hand left the paper.

Slurp, how come baby Cen Ji is so handsome when drawing talismans.

【System: Wipe your saliva.】

Cen Ji raised his eyes and looked at Yan Ying. He was drawing very slowly. She should have learned it. The talisman was so simple, yet he learned it by himself without a teacher.

Yan Ying withdrew her infatuated gaze and pretended to be indifferent as she stared at the talisman in Cen Ji's hand.

"You try it." Cen Ji handed the spiritual paper and the pen dipped in ink to Yan Ying.

Yan Ying looked at the spirit paper and then at Cen Ji.

Do you think I've learned it?

How did she draw it? She was so focused on looking at him that she didn't see the talisman at all.

"Can you draw it again?" Yan Ying smiled and gently pushed back Cen Ji's hand holding the pen.

Cen Ji withdrew his hand, slowed down his movements and drew a new one.

Seeing that Yan Ying was still staring at the talisman in his hand, he changed another piece of paper.

"One last time, look carefully."

Yan Ying stretched her neck and stared intently at the pen in Cen Ji's hand.

After another round, Chen Ji pushed the pen and paper in front of her. "You come."

Yan Ying picked up the pen hesitantly, and then took the talisman drawn by Cen Ji and drew it in front of her.

This spell looks simple, but it has many twists and turns, and each stroke must be continuous. She can't learn it like this.

"This is my first time drawing talismans, so..." Yan Ying pouted as she looked at the spiritual paper she had wasted.

I have never seen such an ugly talisman.

But you can't blame her. She has never had any talent for painting. Let alone drawing talismans, she can't even practice calligraphy well.

Cen Ji looked at the mess of lines drawn by Yan Ying in silence...

How could there be such a stupid person? If he hadn't mistaken her for Yan Ying before, and hadn't been a little unkind to her, which made him feel guilty, he wouldn't have had the patience to teach her how to draw talismans.

"Try again, and look carefully before you put pen to paper." Cen Ji frowned.

Yan Ying picked up the pen again.

It was really strange. Her eyes were clearly following the lines drawn by Cen Ji, but as she was drawing, she became dazzled and couldn't find the next line...

Failed again.

"I'd better not draw. I'll learn it slowly in the future. It seems... I don't have much talent, so I can't rush it." Yan Ying said dejectedly.
