Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2386 - 2322: Misunderstood
Previously on Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s...
Having mastered the drawing of those three talismans, she now sought out any that might connect to healing.
She leafed through the pages for quite some time until she spotted 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 held immense power to freeze objects solid. Yet, after repeated trials, not a trace of ice ever formed, leading her to understand it had zero link to actual freezing.
During this latest test, she nodded off mid-drawing and knocked her head against the table. Though the impact should have stung badly, grasping the Ice Seal Talisman revealed zero ache on her forehead.
"Wow, could this really be a Pain-Relief Talisman?"
Chiang Xiao felt a surge of astonishment and ran a few more experiments, confirming that the 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 senses by dubbing it the Ice Seal Talisman!
Yet, uncovering the true function of this Pain-Relief Talisman left Chiang Xiao overjoyed.
The Pain-Relief Talisman's impact proved even more straightforward than sipping Spirit Spring Water, delivering swift results.
With the Spirit Spring Water, one had to drink it first, then endure a delay before the discomfort gradually faded.
The Pain-Relief Talisman operated differently, however.
Simply clutching it or keeping it nearby caused the pain to vanish right away.
"Hehehe."
Stumbling upon such a handy talisman made Chiang Xiao giggle uncontrollably.
Regardless, it remained an excellent find.
For example, should she become pregnant someday and face agonizing labor pains, she could sketch a talisman, slip it into her pocket, and suffer no hurt at all.
Quite impressive, quite impressive.
Huh, how did thoughts of childbirth pop into her head so readily!
Chiang Xiao hid her face in her hands.
She couldn't stop her mind from drifting back to her upcoming wedding with Meng Xinian.
With the marriage set for August 27th, Meng Xinian would turn twenty-five. If they postponed 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, mulling it over, 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 mortifying, and all those prying eyes would grate on her nerves.
Never mind, with half a year until the ceremony, she could ponder kids once they were wed.
Emerging from Space, she noticed dawn approaching.
Delving into those talismans had consumed a fair amount of her time.
Meanwhile, in Ye Wanqing’s cramped room, Chen Kaijin stirred awake in a haze, her head spinning and vision dotted with shadows.
"Achoo! Achoo!"
Two sneezes escaped her, and she wrapped her arms around herself on instinct, chilled to the bone.
Rising to her feet, she scanned the area and saw everything untouched. Even the heap of garments she’d trampled and soiled lingered right where she’d left it, leaving her baffled about the situation.
Where had that brat Ye Wanqing gone?
Had she knocked Chen Kaijin unconscious and fled?
In the meantime, Ye Wanqing sat in the Public Security Officer’s office.
She pulled her coat tighter, fighting sleep while inwardly damning Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili.
Those wretched pair!
Just for devouring two boxes of Qin Xiaojun’s baked goods, they’d dragged the authorities into it!
Overwhelmed with panic, she’d nearly crumbled under the Public Security Officer’s grilling and could only invoke Deng Qingjiang, claiming his protection and directing any demands for repayment his way.
In that instant, facing the scornful glares from Qin Xiaojun and Wang Lili, Ye Wanqing seethed with pure hatred.
