The Cannon Fodder Turns His Sister Into A Soaring Phoenix
Chapter Summary
" Liang Ating squinted and tilted her head at his touch, and after looking at those Eye Shifting talismans on the table, she asked, "Uncle, what are these talismans for? " Ye Anping suddenly had the idea that Liang Ating could be used for a test, so he simply picked up two of the talismans and pasted one on his body, and the other on Liang Ating's forehead. " Ye Anping was about to reach out to grab it, but it suddenly occurred to him that if Liang Zhu knew that Pei Lianxue gave that girl a book...
The sun was setting over the west mountains, sinking behind them.
In the Jiang Mansion, more than a dozen maids were running around, lighting the lanterns and stone lamps.
Right now, Ye Anping was sitting at the desk in the bedroom, using cinnabar as ink and spirit as water, making talismans on a sheet of special yellow oil paper.
Next to him, on the bed, two girls, one tall and one short, were sitting and playing chess.
It was like a real family of three.
---A father who works hard, a mother who plays with her child, and a daughter who clings to her mother...
Liang Zhu hadn't come back since he left the Jiang Mansion in the afternoon, so Liang Ating had been following him and his sister, and now she was even following them into their bed.
Although Liang Ating had been acting rather reserved these past few hours and spoke very politely, Ye Anping could see that this was just the tip of the iceberg of her original personality.
For example, when they were talking to Liang Zhu in the pavilion, the girl climbed over the wall to come in.
Ye Anping looked at the two girls playing chess on the bed, took a deep breath, and focused on drawing again.
The talisman he was making now was known as the "Eye Shifting" talisman.
He originally planned to buy it from the cultivators who made talismans tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
But now that he had nothing else to do, he tried making it himself.
You don't know until you try.
After trying, he discovered: --He seemed to have an innate gift for making enchanting talismans.
Although it was his first time making talismans, apart from the first half hour of fumbling, he only failed three times in the past hour.
Of the six Eye Shifting talismans he made, one was medium grade, and the other five were all high grade.
At the same time, he also felt that talisman-making and his physiotherapy skills were almost of the same origin.
Physiotherapy used a spiritual energy knife to unblock or cut the clogs in the cultivator's meridians.
Talisman making, to put it simply, was also a spiritual energy knife, carving a pattern similar to the meridians on the talisman paper, and then inlaying the heavenly material and earthly treasure powder with spiritual power into each "eye" of the pattern.
Moreover, those symbols were similar to circuit board prints, except that there were slightly more than ten kinds of "components".
Because he had this knowledge from his previous life, he could easily understand the 'symbol's diagrams'.
"Uncle.
" Ye Anping, who was fully focused on the talisman paper, was startled when he suddenly heard Liang Ating's voice in his ear.
"...
" Turning his head, he saw that Liang Ating had sneaked up on him at some point.
Now, she was lying at the table, looking straight at the talismans he had just drawn, with curious eyes.
Ye Anping withdrew the spiritual energy he had released and asked, "What's wrong?
Weren't you playing chess with your aunt?
" Liang Ating grinned and pointed to the bed.
"Auntie lost five times and won't play with me anymore.
" ?
Ye Anping turned to look at his sister.
Pei Lianxue was sitting on the bed, biting her lips and staring at the chessboard.
She must be thinking about where she lost.
If this was a game of chess, he could understand that she lost to a twelve-year-old girl because she didn't play well after all.
But they only played backgammon.
How can you lose at backgammon?
Ye Anping patted Liang Ating's head.
"That's awesome.
I will play with you later.
" "Yay!
" Liang Ating squinted and tilted her head at his touch, and after looking at those Eye Shifting talismans on the table, she asked, "Uncle, what are these talismans for?
" "This is called the Eye Shifting talisman...
" Ye Anping suddenly had the idea that Liang Ating could be used for a test, so he simply picked up two of the talismans and pasted one on his body, and the other on Liang Ating's forehead.
"Did your father teach you how to mobilize spiritual energy?
" "He did!
" "Try transferring spiritual power to the talisman.
" Liang Ating nodded, then took a deep breath, clumsily mobilized her spiritual power, and sent it into the talisman on her forehead.
Instantly, her light green eyes emitted a burst of light, and the flat hair on her head stood up like an exclamation point.
"Huh?!
" "What?
What did you see?
" "I saw...
me?
Eh?
I'm so tall...
" With a look of surprise, Liang Ating waved her hand and pinched her face, but after she took a step to the side, she suddenly fell down, unable to stand still.
Ye Anping hastily reached out to support her, and at the same time, he pulled the talisman off her forehead.
If he saw her like this, Liang Zhu would probably fight him tooth and nail when he returned.
"Was it fun?
" "Yeah, it's fun.
" Liang Ating shook her head.
"I'm just a little dizzy.
" "This talisman comes in sets, allowing cultivators to share vision and hearing with each other.
Some would place this talisman on eagles and other birds and use them to inspect the surrounding situation.
" "I see...
hmm!
" Ye Anping smiled and patted her head, then glanced out the window.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, he said, "Your aunt and I are going to rest.
You should also go back and sleep.
" "Hey...
" Liang Ating seemed a little reluctant.
After thinking for a while, she asked again, "Didn't you say you would play chess with me later?
" "...
Then, if you lose the game, you must go back to your room and sleep.
" "Fine!
" He cleaned up the desk quickly, then climbed onto the bed and sat cross-legged.
When Ye Anping went to bed, Pei Lianxue came back to her senses from the previous game and looked at him eagerly.
"Um...
" "What?
You lost to a twelve-year-old girl five times in a row.
" Ye Anping pinched the tip of her nose and teased her.
"You have been with me since you were a child, haven't you learned anything?
" Pei Lianxue bristled and said with a puffed face, "Hubby, help me win back.
" Ye Anping smiled and nodded, "Okay!
" ...
Half an hour later--- Ye Anping dropped the last white piece.
"Okay, now go to sleep.
" Looking at the line formed by the white chess pieces on the chessboard, Liang Ating pouted, but she didn't dare to make a fuss in front of Ye Anping.
After thinking for a while, she said, "Uncle, tell me a bedtime story.
" "Didn't we agree that you will go to bed after losing the chess game?
" Ye Anping raised his eyebrows, tapped her head lightly, and said, "Uncle and aunt don't like little girls who don't keep their word.
" "Just one!
Tell me a story, and I'll go to bed right away!
I promise.
" Feeling a little helpless, Ye Anping looked at Pei Lianxue.
Seeing she was quite satisfied, he thought for a while and said, "Well...
your aunt will tell you.
" "Ah?
" Pei Lianxue was stunned.
"What do I tell her?
" "Can't you coax her to sleep like a mother?
" "Mother...
" Pei Lianxue blushed and lowered her head.
"...
Well.
" Seeing this, Ye Anping had a mischievous smile on his face-- the sister was really cute; she wanted to play house but ended up being shy.
However-- When he saw what Pei Lianxue did next, he stopped laughing.
Pei Lianxue thought for a while, then took out the 'Erotic Pictures of the Immortal Palace' from her storage bag and handed it to Liang Ating.
"I have a little comic book here.
Take it and read it, and remember to return it tomorrow.
" "Huh?
" Liang Ating didn't even look at the words on the cover.
She just heard that it was a comic book, so she took it with a smile.
"Thank you, Auntie.
" Ye Anping was about to reach out to grab it, but it suddenly occurred to him that if Liang Zhu knew that Pei Lianxue gave that girl a book like this, he would probably not ask them to take care of the kid in the future, so he let her go.
"Good night, uncle!
Good night, aunt!
" "Good night.
" After watching Liang Ating leave the house, Ye Anping turned to look at his sister.
"Sister...
" Pei Lianxue frowned, puffed her face, and corrected him.
"Wife!
" "Wifey, that book...
didn't I ask you to take it and ask Sister Xiao about it?
You didn't go?
" "No...
what's wrong?
" Ye Anping rubbed his forehead and shook his head.
"When Sister Xiao comes over, take a chance to go over with the book and ask her.
You should be able to learn a lot.
" "Oh...
"
