Chapter 271: Chapter 271
Then he saw the young lady stiffen, her face motionless.
Li Tianyao’s brow furrowed slightly. Was his explanation too subtle?
As soon as An Yan heard him speak, she flinched and quickly stuffed the flower pastry she was holding into his mouth.
"This is really tasty, try it."
Li Tianyao glanced down and saw that the young lady had already taken a bite of the pastry.
So, the young lady was already this close to him now, wasn’t she?
He happily opened his mouth and bit into the pastry she offered.
After that, An Yan embarked on her grand feeding endeavor, sticking to one principle—if your mouth is full, you can’t talk.
This scene astonished everyone present.
After all, Ninth Master had always been the one to feed the young lady before.
Wen Ya and Wen Ge exchanged satisfied glances. The young lady finally figured it out and knew to feed Ninth Master. Excellent!
Mu Enyu thought, Yanjie and Boss Li are so well-matched! Truly, a love where both sides eagerly come together is the sweetest.
The others thought, What have we done to deserve being subjected to this public display of affection by these two!
All of a sudden, everyone sped up their eating, and in less than ten minutes, no one else was left at the dining table.
An Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief; her task of feeding him could end.
Li Tianyao was very satisfied. All the eyesores had finally left.
Hmm, the food the young lady fed him seemed to taste especially good, but why did she suddenly put down her chopsticks?
Li Tianyao looked at her, puzzled.
An Yan, rendered speechless by his gaze, could only pick up her chopsticks again and gave him a piece of potato.
"Li Tianyao, actually..."
The man, chewing the food in his mouth, expressed his dissatisfaction with the form of address.
He had corrected her before, but the young lady always forgot. He had thought he would wait until the wedding for her to address him differently, but now, it seemed he wouldn’t make it to the wedding.
An Yan’s train of thought was interrupted. She had to regroup before continuing, "Husband, actually, the things between us, we don’t need to explain to others. The more we explain, the more likely people are to misunderstand."
"Aren’t you unhappy if we don’t explain?"
"I’m not unhappy. I just feel a bit embarrassed when others misunderstand things like that. Anyway, let’s try not to do things that can easily be misunderstood in the future, okay?"
"What kind of actions can easily be misunderstood by others?"
Li Tianyao asked her seriously.
"Like the things we said in the room today. If others heard them, they would think we were doing bad things in the room!"
"What bad things do they think we did?" Li Tianyao asked again, even more seriously than before.
Is he deliberately feigning ignorance?
Seeing her stiffen and fall silent, Li Tianyao reached out and gently pinched her ear.
"Alright, I’ll stop teasing you. We’ll do as you say for these matters from now on!"
An Yan’s heart gave a joyful leap.
"You said it, you have to remember."
Adoration filled the man’s eyes.
After the meal, Li Tianyao wanted An Yan to accompany him back to the study, but An Yan said she still had work to do and needed to go to the lab.
Ever since she started her marital life with Li Tianyao, the plum blossom mark on An Yan’s arm had disappeared.
But whether the poison was truly neutralized still required testing to confirm.
Although the Golden Thread Worm had not been found and a targeted Antidote could not be formulated, An Yan had gotten her hands on the things Li Yanluo used to lure the insect.
She wanted to try and see what it was that attracted the Brain-eating Insect, causing it to voluntarily crawl out of the patient’s brain.
An Yan handed the samples she collected from herself over to Liang Chen and Mu Enyu to be in charge of comparison and testing.
She then started to study the Yellow Mounting Paper and cinnabar, among other items that she had found from Li Yanluo’s place.
From the quality of the items Li Yanluo used, they seemed to be much stronger than those Grandpa usually used.
An Yan picked up a brush and dipped it into some cinnabar.
When the tip of the brush touched the paper, a transparent ripple appeared at the point of contact.
An Yan blinked, and the ripple immediately disappeared.
After a moment of thought, she refocused, engaging her Clairvoyant Ability at the same time.
The moment the brush touched down, the ripple appeared again.
At the same time, the leaf on the branch of the Clairvoyance Technique in her mind began to tremble excitedly.
Recalling the Talisman Li Yanluo had drawn, An Yan moved the brush tip in the same way.
The transparent energy became more and more obvious as she moved the brush tip.
As she made the final stroke, the energy suddenly retracted as if alive, embedding itself into the lines she had drawn.
Emitting a faint glow!
"Enyu, come and look at this!"
"What is this? A Talisman?"
An Yan nodded, "Yes, what do you see? Do you see any light?"
Mu Enyu shook her head.
"No, what is this Talisman for? Yanjie, you are so amazing, you even know how to make Talismans!"
Alright, I get it. Mu Enyu is just my little fangirl; no matter what I do, she’ll be there clapping and cheering. Updates are released by novel(ꜰ)ire.net
Liang Chen also came over.
"You saw no light? Can An Yan see it? Could that light be the so-called Spiritual Energy?"
"You know about Spiritual Energy?" An Yan asked, looking at Liang Chen in surprise.
Liang Chen nodded. "Yes, many novels describe it. Plus, my grandfather has a friend who says he can harness nature’s spiritual energy."
"What’s your grandfather’s friend’s name?"
I should have thought of it sooner. Principal Liang had a good relationship with Grandpa, and Grandpa...
Honestly, I’ve never seen the Talismans Grandpa drew have any real effect!
When treating the village grandmas’ illnesses, Grandpa would draw a Talisman and mix in some anti-inflammatory powder or something, just in case the Talisman Water didn’t cure their ailments and damage his reputation!
"Yanjie, where did you learn to draw Talismans?" asked Mu Enyu curiously.
"This Talisman was drawn by the person who removed the Golden Thread Worm for Old Master Mo," An Yan said, igniting the Talisman and placing it in water.
In a moment, the transparent water turned a faint purple.
Talismans and such were profoundly mysterious things in her understanding. Was that something an ordinary person could even come into contact with? She hadn’t expected Yanjie to know how. Yanjie is so awesome!
An Yan placed the Talisman Water near the Brain-eating Insect she had obtained earlier.
The Brain-eating Insect wriggled, seeming to want to approach, but then it stopped, for some reason.
Mu Enyu quickly looked at An Yan’s expression, fearing she might be discouraged, her mind already racing to form comforting words.
But Yanjie simply frowned slightly, then stood up and began looking through her medicines.
Soon enough, Yanjie had mixed several kinds of medicinal powders.
"At that time, the other person added medicine into the Talisman Water. It smelled like these; let’s try them one by one."
Mu Enyu hurriedly stepped forward to help.
While helping, she asked, "Yanjie, how were you able to discern them by smell when these medicinal powders are mixed together?"
"Once you smell them enough, you naturally can tell them apart. Discerning Chinese medicine involves looking at the shape and smelling the scent. It’s a skill I’ve honed since I was young, training with my grandpa."
"Yanjie, you’re so impressive."
