Chapter 52: Old Cow Eating Young Grass
There was a faint fragrance behind him that kept drifting into his nose with the air.
The room was heated enough, and both of them were wearing very thin clothes. A faint body temperature was transmitted from her to him. The indoor temperature should have been moderate, but it was a little too high for him at this time.
The fair and broad hand was now covered by an equally fair and tender palm. The body temperature spread slowly from Chu Tingbai's palm to his limbs and bones through the backs of their overlapping hands, and finally even his ears were covered with red.
Qing Yanrou didn't notice anything was wrong with him.
Because of the height difference, she couldn't stand completely behind him, so she had to stand sideways, with one hand covering his hand and the other hand behind her back, and she concentrated on guiding him to draw the talisman.
As time passed, Chu Tingbai slowly adjusted his state, and finally, under Qing Yanrou's guidance, he drew three intermediate lightning-inducing talismans, one intermediate immobilization talisman, and one growth talisman.
Qing Yanrou never expected that her apprentice was so gifted. The first time she successfully drew a talisman, she skipped the low-level talisman and drew a mid-level talisman.
She really picked up a treasure. If he wasn't too old and she was afraid that he would not live longer than her, she would have wanted to train him as the next leader of Yantai Temple.
"You can draw talismans now. Remember the feeling I just gave you. When drawing the talisman, you must concentrate and finish it in one breath."
"Okay, you can feel it slowly. I'm going to draw the talisman for the client."
After giving him instructions, Qing Yanrou went to another table and prepared to start drawing the hair-growth talisman.
In addition to the fifty needed from Han Nianlu, there are still twenty left, so a total of forty more need to be drawn. Presumably, many people will buy hair-growth talismans later, so she plans to draw a few more and keep them in reserve.
"Customer draws talismans?"
Seeing her leave, he felt relieved but also a little disappointed. When he heard that she wanted to draw a talisman, he couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, there are forty hair growth charms."
Chu Tingbai raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He hadn't expected the hair-growth talisman to be so popular. She had just taught him how to draw it, so he picked up the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, inputted mysterious power into his hands, concentrated his mind and began to draw the talisman.
In less than twenty minutes, Qing Yanrou had finished drawing one hundred and fifty talismans. She stood up, put down the pen in her hand, looked up at him, and saw that he was drawing talismans seriously.
He was wearing a thin black sweater at the moment. She found that he loved black, and the black color made his already fair skin more conspicuous.
At this moment, he lowered his head slightly, his crow-feather-like eyelashes covering his black eyes. There was a small mole on his high nose bridge, which added a touch of cuteness to his cold face. His lips were not thin, but slightly chubby, which made people unable to help but imagine.
Qing Yanrou was watching intently, and Chu Tingbai couldn't help but feel nervous when he noticed her eyes were fixed on him. He gripped the brush even harder, almost breaking the fragile brush. The redness that had just faded crept up to his ears again.
"Ahem."
In the end, he couldn't resist her gaze. Afraid of losing control, he couldn't help but cough twice, interrupting her sight.
Qing Yanrou came back to her senses and realized that she had been staring in a daze just now, and her face couldn't help but blush.
She pinched her palm cruelly, restrained her unrealistic fantasies, and slowly walked to his side to check his current results.
"Huh? You actually drew so many hair growth charms?"
Seeing his results, Qing Yanrou couldn't help but be a little surprised. In just twenty minutes, he, a beginner, drew such a stack of talismans.
Judging from the quality, these are hair-growth talismans with very good effects. After a rough count, I found that he had drawn more than 40 of them. It's incredible.
This time she was too embarrassed to say that he was worthy of being her apprentice. After all, she was not so adept at drawing talismans when she first drew them.
The disciple is better than the master!
"Isn't this hair growth charm very popular? Do you think this one I drew is okay?"
Putting down the brush in his hand, Chu Tingbai lowered his head slightly and looked at her intently, waiting for her answer.
“Very good!”
Hearing the affirmative answer, he was in a good mood, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a low laugh, "I'm very happy to be able to contribute to the Taoist temple with you."
Finally, he couldn't help it and raised his hand again to rub the furry little head in front of him.
"Hey, why are you touching my hair again!"
Taking the hand off her head, Qing Yanrou grumbled dissatisfiedly.
He smiled, twirled his fingers, and looked away as if feeling guilty. Only then did he notice that the room was full of electronic devices. He raised his eyebrows and said:
"Isn't this the spiritual chamber for worship? Why are there so many electronic devices?"
"Here, the new offerings cost hundreds of thousands."
Looking at the pile of electronic devices, Qing Yanrou couldn't help feeling distressed, but she didn't dare show it, for fear that the ancestors in the spirit tablets would throw her into dreams day and night to face those ugly ghosts.
Seeing that she was distressed, he rubbed her palm again and whispered:
"How can you bear the heavy burden of worshipping the ancestor alone? I am also a member of Yantai Temple, so I should have a share of this."
His words made her eyes light up, and she said happily, "Disciple, you are really smart."
Seeing that she was so happy that she forgot that his hand was still on her head, he couldn't help but take the opportunity to rub it a few more times. In the end, it was Xiaoyan who called them to eat before he left the master bedroom.
Seeing that the two people finally left, Qingyun, who had been suffocating in the spirit tablet, finally came out.
This was the first time he had been away from electronic products for such a long time since he came into contact with them. He was getting anxious and irritated waiting in the spirit tablet.
After seeing how Chu Tingbai and Qing Yanrou get along, he was first in disbelief, and finally in anger.
He saw it clearly from above. Chu Tingbai had ill intentions towards his little girl and had secretly taken advantage of her several times. He wanted to come out of the spirit tablet immediately and beat him up, but he still held back. After all, his status was different now, and he was definitely not a coward!
He doesn't think about how old he is. Doesn't he want to eat young grass, but he wants to eat interracial grass?
No, no, no, he had to let his Yan Rou stay away from him. Besides, he was an ordinary mortal now and a disciple of Yantai Temple, so as the ancestor, he must give him a gift.
Even if he returns to the upper realm in the future, he cannot settle accounts with him, because he is now a member of Yantai Temple!
Humph!
Qing Yun turned down the volume of the TV and lay on the recliner, watching TV with her mind full of plans.
