Ruan Qiuping: “…”

So angry.

Is it the willfulness of being a lucky god

It's sour.

Yu Huan looked at Ruan Qiuping's profile, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

Perhaps, Ruan Ruan no longer hates him as much as she used to.

Ruan Qiuping put the Qinggeng bird in his hand back on the bird stand next to him and stood beside Yu Huan's desk: "What kind of talisman are you going to write?"

"A good luck charm for you, and a bad luck charm for your family."

Ruan Qiuping said happily: "Then write one for your friends as well, Jingyang and Chen Hai, their talismans are about to expire."

"Okay." Yu Huan said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, have you seen Jingyang's sister Jing Shanshan? She even came to you today to ask for a bad luck-removing talisman."

Yu Huan shook his head and said, "I heard that there was a heavy rain in the west, so I went to see the apple tree immediately, but I didn't see her."

"Then write a bad luck-removing charm for that girl... Jing Shanshan."

Yu Huan paused what he was doing and raised his head: "Jing Shanshan... is she the woman who sat next to your sister at the Conferred God Ceremony?"

Ruan Qiuping was a little surprised: "How do you know? Do you know her?"

Yu Huan: "The Jing family is very close to our home. I have met her once... Is Ruan Ruan familiar with her?"

"I'm not familiar with you. I just met you today. What's up?"

"Nothing." Yu Huan smiled and continued to write talismans with his head down.

"Do you need to consume spiritual energy to write these talismans?" Ruan Qiuping asked.

If it required a lot of spiritual energy, he didn't want Yu Huan to write so much.

Yu Huan shook his head: "Some simple talismans will not consume too much spiritual power, but the Supreme Good Luck Talisman may be a little troublesome, so I can give you his talisman after I finish writing it today, but the Supreme Good Luck Talisman will take some time to give it to you."

Yu Huan paused, frowned slightly, and then said: "I originally wrote a great luck charm and kept it at home, but suddenly I can't find it."

Ruan Qiuping was silent for a while, then said: "... I seem to know where your talisman is."

Yu Huan: “?”

Ruan Qiuping was searching for the talisman in his Qiankun bag as he said, "When your mother gave us the betrothal gift, she gave us this supreme good luck talisman. I thought you knew about this."

Yu Huan's expression became a little strange: "...Did your mother give it to you?"

"By the way, what's wrong?"

"Ruan Ruan... did you look at that talisman carefully?"

"Look, the things drawn on it are all very delicate. What's wrong? Is there some other secret hidden in that talisman?"

"Nothing!" Yu Huan said firmly, "It's just an ordinary supreme good luck charm."

"How can the Supreme Good Luck Talisman be ordinary?" Ruan Qiuping smiled with curved eyebrows and took out the invalid talisman from the Qiankun bag, "Found it!"

"Ineffective?" Yu Huan looked at the grayish-white writing on the Supreme Good Luck Talisman, his expression seemed a little surprised, "When did you get this talisman?"

Ruan Qiuping: "The talisman was given to you by your mother when you first met, which was about... two months ago?"

Yu Huan frowned: "... two months... a talisman has become ineffective so quickly? I thought this talisman could at least bring you good luck for a year."

Ruan Qiuping was about to explain that the talisman was not only effective for two months, but it remained in the human body for many years.

But Yu Huan hasn't recovered his memory yet, and Ruan Qiuping subconsciously felt that saying such words might lead to misunderstanding, so he didn't say it out loud.

"Ruan Ruan, give me this expired Supreme Good Luck Charm first. The base material of this talisman is hard to find. It is made of fine stone spider silk. It will be faster for you to draw it again on the old talisman than to find silk and write it again."

"Okay." Ruan Qiuping handed over the supreme good luck charm.

Yu Huan looked at the lucky charm with gray writing on it, and the corners of his lips involuntarily curved slightly.

"Why are you laughing? Are you happy about something?" Ruan Qiuping asked curiously.

"Nothing." Yu Huan held the talisman under his hand, a bright smile reflected in his eyes, "It's just that when I think about the talisman playing a role in your hand and bringing you good luck, I can't help but feel happy."

Ruan Qiuping: “…”

Ruan Qiuping suddenly remembered a certain night when Yu Huan pressed on him, holding a talisman tightly in their clasped hands, and asked him in a very vicious tone: "Ruan Ruan, do you think the lucky god in the sky knows where the talisman he gave you is used?"

Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt his face getting hot.

At the same time, a strange feeling of guilt rose in his heart.

Ruan Qiuping coughed twice, left the desk, turned around and looked at Yu Huan's collection carefully.

As he looked, he stopped in front of the painting on the wall.

"By the way, Yu Huan, you are drawing..."

"Ruan Ruan!" Yu Huan suddenly called out to Ruan Qiuping nervously, which scared Ruan Qiuping.

"What...what happened?"

Yu Huan tightly grasped the pen in his hand and said, "Xingqing...Xingqing seems to want to go out and play. Can you take it out to play for a while?"

Ruan Qiuping looked at the green bird eating millet and said, "It doesn't seem like it wants to go out and play."

"It wants to." Yu Huan said firmly.

Qing raised his head from the grain in confusion.

"But it's raining heavily outside." Ruan Qiuping said.

Yu Huan: “…”

Yu Huan was silent for a moment, then cast a water-avoiding spell on Ruan Qiuping and Xiaoqing. He turned to look at Qing Gengniao with a loving face: "Xiaoqing, go out and play quickly!"

Qing: “…”

Although the Green Bird was cast into a water-avoiding spell and would not be wet by the rain, it still had an instinctive fear of the rain. As soon as it went out, it shrank into Ruan Qiuping's palm and did not move.

Ruan Qiuping took Qinggeniao for a stroll outside aimlessly and then came back.

But when he entered the cave, he found that everything in the room had changed.

The style of the table has changed, the color of the bed has changed, the position of the bookcase has changed, the display on the desk has changed, and even the paintings on the wall have changed.

Ruan Qiuping: "…did it happen?"

Yu Huan smiled and said, "It's just a regular replacement. If the furnishings in the house are always the same, you'll get tired of them."

"... Really interesting." Ruan Qiuping exclaimed, "By the way, who did you draw the painting that was just hanging on the wall?"

Yu Huan: “…”

The paper talisman in Yu Huan's hand was accidentally crushed into pieces.

He looked up at Ruan Qiuping and smiled warmly and harmlessly: "Which painting are you looking at, Ruan? There are too many paintings hanging on the wall. I can't remember all of them."

Ruan Qiuping: "It's just a guy wearing a short-sleeved shirt, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, looking silly... looking cool and unrestrained."

Yu Huan shook his head blankly: "I have no impression."

Ruan Qiuping: "... Forget it, just continue drawing the talisman."

To be honest, ever since he knew that Yu Huan had also seen him, Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt that the man holding the dogtail grass was somewhat similar to him.

Ruan Qiuping's group finally decided to complete the project report together at Jingyang's home.

Listening to it was Jing Shanshan's strong request.

Because every time he came to the mortal world, Jingyang's money and supplies would always be squandered by Chen Hai at the fastest speed, so Ruan Qiuping always felt that Jingyang's family was very poor.

But after arriving at Jingyang's house, Ruan Qiuping discovered that Jingyang might be the richest among the three of them.

First of all, judging from the geographical location, Jingyang's family won. His family was only one street away from Yu Huan's family!

Ruan Qiuping did some calculations and concluded that based on the current housing prices, if the Jingyang family's house was sold, it would probably be enough for Ruan Qiuping's family to spend for a thousand years.

It was strange at first sight. Jingyang's house was in a good location and covered a large area. It took twenty minutes just to walk from the gate to Jingyang's house.

But such a big house was empty, and he met a fairy on the way.

Moreover, the fairy and Jingyang met on the road holding an umbrella, and the two of them didn't talk to each other.

"That's your father's personal fairy maiden, not yours." Jing Yang explained.

"Then your personal fairy maid won't be interested in your father?" Ruan Qiuping showed the curiosity of a poor child.

Jingyang shook his head: "Besides the cook, there is only one fairy maid in our family."

When they arrived at Jingyang's room and sat at the desk, Ruan Qiuping distributed the new bad luck-dispelling talismans to them, and then began to write the report seriously. After all, they really didn't have much time left.

Ruan Qiuping wrote the report from day to evening. He felt sore in his back and waist. When he looked up, he found that Jing Yang and Chen Hai had fallen asleep on the table.

Ruan Qiuping was very thirsty and had finished the tea in the room, so he went to the kitchen to get some water to drink.

But when he passed through a corridor, he heard some voices inside.

"The tea is not brewed well. It's too strong."

"Even a cup is not good, it's too bland."

"The cup is too cold."

"All three cups failed."

Ruan Qiuping shook his head.

Jingyang's father is no good. There is only one fairy maiden in his family, but he exploits her hard and is not afraid that the fairy maiden will run away.

A somewhat tired female voice came: "Since Zixian Immortal Lord has not been used to drinking tea brewed by me for two thousand years, why not find a new maid?"

“… Go soak it again.”

Purple Immortal Lord? Jing Zi‌

Ruan Qiuping was stunned.

Is she the weirdo who gave up half of her cultivation to find her mortal lover, and after finding her lover, she took her home as a fairy maiden? ?

Just then, there was a sound of door opening, and the fairy walked out of the room.

Even when she saw Ruan Qiuping at the door, her eyes remained calm without a ripple.

She nodded slightly at Ruan Qiuping, turned around and left with the tea tray.

When Ruan Qiuping walked into the kitchen, the cook was cooking.

All the drinking water was used up, so Ruan Qiuping had to turn on the fire and boil some water for himself.

While waiting for the water to boil, the cook started chatting with Ruan Qiuping.

The cook talked about what was the hardest part of making lunch today, and when the damn rain would stop.

Just as the cook was about to tell the story of how her second cousin's daughter eloped with the family's fairy servant and then ran back after two days, the fairy maid of Zixian Immortal Lord walked into the kitchen.

The cook stopped talking immediately.

The fairy took a bag of rock sugar from the kitchen and left.

After she left, the cook sighed: "... What a sin."

The cook chopped the kitchen knife on the chopping board and shook her head: "So the immortals are so heartless... At that time, it was Immortal Zi Xianjun who loved her to death and insisted on sending her to heaven. It was also him who no longer liked her after she was in heaven..."

Ruan Qiuping asked curiously, "Why didn't Immortal Zixian let her go?"

"How can we leave? This girl is a mortal. When Ziwei Immortal Lord brought her up, he changed her fate by blocking her meridians and time so that she would be immortal. If this girl goes back to the mortal world, she will turn into ash in the blink of an eye." The cook chopped the ribs with a snapping sound and continued, "I've seen a lot of real things. It's different from other immortals who brought their mortal lovers back home. Even if they didn't like them that much, they at least married them out of a sense of responsibility and gave them some points. I've never seen a scumbag like Ziwei Immortal Lord. In his heart, I don't know how much he regretted bringing this girl up."

"They are also confused." The cook shook her head. "After all, the one who loved the mortal girl to death was the mortal Jing Ziyan. The mortal became an immortal, with a different experience, perspective, and even temperament. How could he still like the original girl? Not to mention, immortals are easily moved when they come down to earth to experience tribulations... They made a mistake from the beginning!"

"Hey, boy!" the cook cried in panic, "the tea you poured is all over the place!"

When Ruan Qiuping walked towards Jingyang's room, he found that Chen Hai had woken up and was leaning against the big red pillar beside the corridor, watching the rain and eating fruit.

Chen Hai watched Ruan Qiuping coming, looked at the rain in the sky, and then looked at Ruan Qiuping: "Ruan Qiuping, it has rained so heavily in the past two days, and the blizzard in Mangyi Snow Mountain is so severe... When can you go to find the Millennium Lotus?"

"... Let's wait until the weather gets better." Ruan Qiuping said.

Chen Hai finished the fruit in his hand in just two or three bites. He then grabbed a handful from his Qiankun bag, and found a lover's fruit mixed in among the handful.

Chen Hai frowned and picked a love fruit, then picked up a big green fruit and took a bite.

He turned to look at Ruan Qiuping and asked curiously, "Ruan Qiuping, to be honest, there is something I can't figure out."

Ruan Qiuping: "What's the matter?"

Chen Hai finished the green fruit in two bites, wiped his mouth and said:

"You are right, your feelings for Yu Huan are not those of a lover, so why are you so persistent in finding the Remembrance Soup to make him remember his feelings for you?"
