To gain a woman's approval, a man simply needs to do one thing.
First, he must have money.
Then, he must have a sense of security.
To a certain extent, money can substitute for a sense of security.
Leng Nian took Chen Yan out and did two things.
The first was to teach her a Substitute Sorcery spell.
Find a piece of yellow paper, bite the tip of your finger, use the blood to write your name, then cut a strand of your hair and wrap it in the yellow paper.
Grab some random fish food, mix it with the yellow paper to form a ball, and throw it into the river, then kneel and bow three times.
And that was that.
According to Leng Nian, this was the simplest disaster-avoidance spell from his sect's heritage.
After bowing, within three days, all sorcery specifically targeting Chen Yan would be diverted.
For at least these next three days, Chen Yan wouldn't have to worry about someone scheming against her in the shadows.
