6.7% Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?! / Chapter 23: Chapter 23 Worldly Desires

Kapitel 23: Chapter 23 Worldly Desires

Cao Wang's rental house.

Liu Qing had just delivered the Talisman and returned to the house.

"Jiang Cheng," she said.

Jiang Cheng had just drawn a new "Muscle Relaxation Talisman" and wanted to continue drawing Talismans, but he was startled by Liu Qing's call.

Jiang Cheng asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

He was afraid Liu Qing was dissatisfied with the job and would chop him up as a ruthless boss.

Which heartless boss would pay a runner three thousand yuan in wages?

Liu Qing's beautiful eyes pondered slightly, and she said seriously, "Being tracked."

Cao Wang, who had recently become unemployed and was idle in his room, was confused by Liu Qing's statement.

Being tracked? What does that mean? Who's being tracked? And who's tracking who?

So what exactly happened?

Jiang Cheng looked as if he understood, "You mean, you were followed by someone who seemed very suspicious?"

Cao Wang: ?

Liu Qing nodded gently.

Cao Wang: Damn, Jiang really guessed right?

Jiang Cheng speculated, "The person tracking you probably didn't have any special characteristics, right?"

Liu Qing nodded again.

"Is that so? Well, I don't know what happened either. Maybe it was just a coincidence that someone was going the same way." Jiang Cheng spread his hands, not the least bit worried about Liu Qing's safety. Not to mention the good public order under the Immortal Sect's rule, if someone could threaten Liu Qing, Jiang Cheng's only choice would be to run, not to help her. A Level 3 should have the awareness of a Level 3 and not meddle in Level 83 matters.

Liu Qing slightly lowered her gaze to look at the Muscle Relaxation Talisman Jiang Cheng had just finished drawing. Then she lifted her eyes again, looking at Jiang Cheng with confusion.

Jiang Cheng quickly waved his hands, "Don't worry, it's definitely not the Talisman's problem. We run a legitimate trade. All of our customers come through official channels. All tasks are backed up at the Task Hall. The Talismans I draw are sensible, legal, and compliant, with no issues at all. Of course, if you feel the job is not suitable, you can also choose to terminate the employment relationship with me voluntarily. You don't need my consent; you just need to hand in your resignation letter one month in advance."

"Hmm."

Liu Qing agreed softly.

Her light voice seemed to contain not a trace of emotion.

Jiang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Dealing with a Level 83 powerhouse was indeed a test for someone at Level 3.

Fortunately, he often self-reflected and demanded his actions to be honest and upright; otherwise, it would be easy for Liu Qing to find many faults with him. If that happened, he would probably be in grave danger.

However, once the employment relationship was established, Jiang Cheng wasn't as scared of Liu Qing as he was at the beginning.

Since Liu Qing had agreed to work for him and signed the employment contract, it indicated that she was also a person who liked to follow rules. As long as they kept to themselves, did their respective jobs, remained within their roles, and made sure Cao Wang didn't start any "office romance" drama, there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Hey, Jiang."

Cao Wang crept over sneakily.

"What is it?"

"How did you understand what Miss Liu just said? How come I can't understand her at all?" Cao Wang expressed his confusion.

He couldn't make sense of Liu Qing's words unless he deduced the meaning backwards from Jiang Cheng's replies.

Jiang Cheng frowned, "Miss Liu speaks quite clearly, don't you understand?"

"What can I understand? I feel like she only said half of it."

"That's called being concise and efficient."

"I don't believe it. Prove it to me one more time!"

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment about a topic, then checked the time. It was almost noon. He then addressed Liu Qing, who was sitting quietly and sunbathing on the balcony, "Liu Qing, lunch?"

Liu Qing turned her body to the side and pointed at herself with her finger.

Jiang Cheng shook his head, pointing down at Cao Wang.

Cao Wang: ??? So, what happened again?

Liu Qing nodded gently.

Jiang Cheng: "Meat?"

Liu Qing nodded once more.

Jiang Cheng turned to Cao Wang, "Go buy some meat."

Cao Wang was about to burst, "No, first tell me, what did you two just talk about?"

"I asked her if she wanted to eat. She asked if she should go and buy it. It's her job. I said no, it's not work hours now, and told Cao Wang to go. I asked what she wanted to eat, meat? She said, yes, but she's not very hungry, no need to buy much."

Cao Wang looked at Jiang Cheng with a shocked face.

He felt that from a certain day on, his good buddy Jiang Cheng seemed a bit off.

But what exactly was off, he couldn't tell.

If one must say, Cao Wang felt that Jiang Cheng's popularity with women seemed to suddenly improve much starting from a certain moment.

In the past, Lin Yao barely paid him any mind, but the last time they met on the street, he had actually progressed to the point of clinginess with Lin Yao.

And then there was this newcomer, Liu Qing.

How did he manage to communicate with her so effortlessly!

Jiang Cheng took out ten Spirit Stones from his storage bag and handed them to Cao Wang.

"Cao, buy some nicer food to bring back. We can't have our employee meals be too shabby."

Cao Wang complained, "Wait a second, Jiang, why is it when she comes, we improve the meals, but when it was just me, we just ate whatever?"

Jiang Cheng wasn't a gourmet, nor did he want to spend a lot of money on food.

The so-called delicacies were nothing but temporary cravings.

But the problem was, if Liu Qing didn't get enough to eat, what if she got hungry and ate everything? What then?

She was a monster, after all!

Try reasoning with her?

The key point was, if a monster was starving and then ate a human, she wouldn't be breaking the law because, legally, this was called "necessity."

Jiang Cheng definitely wouldn't give Liu Qing any chance for "necessity."

As long as he kept Liu Qing well-fed, the law would firmly protect his life, leaving no opportunity for any monster to take advantage of!

After sending Cao Wang off to buy lunch, Jiang Cheng continued immersing himself in the state of painting talismans.

The arrival of Liu Qing, though it brought a lot of economic pressure to Jiang Cheng who was not wealthy to begin with,

did indeed make her a very suitable employee for Jiang Cheng.

For example, at this very moment, as Jiang Cheng concentrated on painting talismans, Liu Qing quietly sat on the balcony basking in the sun.

As long as Jiang Cheng's talisman business could go on, making him hundreds to thousands of Spirit Stones a day, Liu Qing's salary wouldn't pose much of a burden.

Next, he just needed to ensure nothing went wrong with the Muscle Relaxation Talismans.

After Jiang Cheng's stringent tests, it would be hard for there to be any problems with the talismans.

They were almost guaranteed to be foolproof.

Unless someone deliberately caused trouble.

But who would be so idle as to nitpick a plain old healing talisman, right?

Half an hour later, Cao Wang returned home, carrying five dishes and one soup.

The small startup team of three began to gather around the table to eat.

Cao Wang and Jiang Cheng sat on one side, while Liu Qing sat by herself on the other.

Jiang Cheng and Cao Wang weren't picky about the dishes and ate whatever, but Liu Qing almost only ate meat.

However, she didn't eat much; after a few bites of food and a sip of water, she went back to sunbathing.

Cao Wang gave Jiang Cheng a meaningful look.

Jiang Cheng warned him in a low voice, "Don't mess with her; she's not easy to provoke."

After all, compared to Liu Qing, Lin Yao seemed so harmless.

But Cao Wang ignored Jiang Cheng's warning, "I, Cao Wang, like girls with personality. Just you watch me perform!"

He was prepared; taking out a rose from inside his clothes, he bit it and went to the balcony to find Liu Qing.

Jiang Cheng watched Cao Wang on the balcony, feeling a bad premonition.

A minute later, Cao Wang came back with the rose.

Cao Wang looked profound, as if he had seen through the world's vanity and was now devoutly seeking the Dao.

"Jiang, I've figured it out. Women are just skeletal remains in makeup. Only the Dao is worth pursuing. What, in your opinion, is the meaning of life? And where do the mysteries of the universe lie?"

Jiang Cheng: ???

How did Cao suddenly become enlightened?

Jiang Cheng didn't quite understand why Cao Wang had such a drastic change, but at least he wouldn't bother Liu Qing anymore, which was indeed good news.

On the balcony, Liu Qing's delicate nose twitched slightly as she sniffed the air.

The pheromones emitted by a male animal during courtship were fading from the air.

This lifted Liu Qing's mood a little.

Cao Wang had been hit by her venom; for quite some time, he wouldn't have those worldly desires.

Actually, Liu Qing had smelled Cao Wang's scent from the beginning. He was a poor male animal with strong pheromones but without a female partner.

If it weren't for Jiang Cheng's scent being so clean, she might not have chosen to stay and work here.

This was her first job among the Human Race, and so far, it felt pretty good.
