Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2386 - 2322: Misunderstood
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
By now, she had mastered the art of drawing those three talismans and was eager to search for ones connected to healing.
She leafed through the pages for quite some time before spotting a talisman that appeared somewhat practical.
This one went by the name of the Ice Seal Talisman.
At first, when Chiang Xiao deciphered its title, she imagined it packed a mighty punch, perhaps capable of freezing objects solid. Yet, after running several trials, not a single trace of ice showed up, leading her to understand it had zero connection to actual freezing.
During this latest trial, she nodded off mid-drawing and smacked her head against the table. It ought to have stung badly, but upon clutching the Ice Seal Talisman, she noticed zero ache on her forehead whatsoever.
"Wow, could this really be a Pain-Relief Talisman?"
Chiang Xiao felt a surge of astonishment and ran a few extra tests, confirming that this so-called Ice Seal Talisman truly served as a Pain! Relief! Talisman!
She found herself at a loss for words, pondering if the talisman's inventor had lost their marbles by dubbing it the Ice Seal Talisman!
Yet, upon uncovering the true power of this Pain-Relief Talisman, Chiang Xiao buzzed with excitement.
Its effects hit even harder and faster than gulping down Spirit Spring Water, kicking in without delay.
The Spirit Spring Water requires you to drink it first, and only after some time does the discomfort gradually fade away.
The Pain-Relief Talisman operates differently, though.
Simply grasp it in your palm or keep it on your person, and the agony vanishes right away.
"Hehehe."
Stumbling upon such a handy talisman made Chiang Xiao giggle uncontrollably.
Regardless, it proved to be a fantastic find.
For example, should she become pregnant someday and endure terrible labor pains, she could just sketch a talisman, slip it into her pocket, and feel no hurt at all.
That's quite impressive, quite impressive.
Huh, how did thoughts of childbirth pop into her head so effortlessly!
Chiang Xiao buried her face in her hands.
She couldn't stop her mind from drifting back to her upcoming wedding with Meng Xinian.
With the ceremony set for August 27th, Meng Xinian would turn twenty-five. If they held off on kids until after her college days, wouldn't he be pushing thirty by the time he became a father?
Chiang Xiao rested her chin on her hand, lost in reflection, and felt a twinge of sympathy for him.
Perhaps they ought to start a family soon after tying the knot?
Still, attending classes while pregnant would prove way too awkward, and all those prying eyes would drive her nuts.
Never mind, the wedding lies half a year away, so she'll mull this over once they're hitched.
Emerging from Space, she saw dawn nearly breaking.
Diving into those talisman studies had eaten up a fair chunk of time.
Meanwhile, inside Ye Wanqing’s cramped room, Chen Kaijin roused herself in a haze, her head spinning and vision dotted with dark spots.
"Achoo! Achoo!"
Two sneezes burst out, and she wrapped her arms around herself on reflex, chilled to the bone.
Rising to her feet, she scanned the area and noted everything untouched. The heap of garments she’d trampled and soiled remained right where it was, leaving her baffled about the situation.
Where had that brat Ye Wanqing gone?
Had she knocked Chen Kaijin unconscious and fled the scene?
In the meantime, Ye Wanqing sat in the Public Security Officer’s office.
She pulled her coat tighter, fighting sleep while muttering curses at Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili.
Those wretched pair!
Just for snacking on a couple of Qin Xiaojun’s pastries, they’d summoned the authorities on her!
She’d freaked out completely under the Public Security Officer’s grilling, blurting out Deng Qingjiang’s name, claiming she fell under his protection and that he should handle any payouts.
In that instant, facing the scornful glares from Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili, Ye Wanqing seethed with pure hatred.
