Chapter 1225 Using the Concentric Talisman (1)
After making up her mind, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhou Mingxuan who was sitting aside sulking.
When she looked over, she found Zhou Mingxuan looking at her. She was caught red-handed by this man.
Sighing, Zhou Mingxuan stood up resignedly and went to get Liu Jingxue's exclusive teacup.
After finding that there was no water in it, he turned around and went into the house to pour her some water.
When he came out, he was holding a teacup in one hand and a fruit plate in the other. The fruit plate contained a few oranges that he had bought yesterday.
He stuffed the teacup into Liu Jingxue's hand and said, "Drink some water.
You must be thirsty after talking so much just now."
After putting the fruit plate on the table beside him, he reached out and took one, then sat there peeling it.
"I know you think I control you too much and you want to kick me out so you can relax and unwind."
Liu Jingxue immediately denied it, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't do that."
Lifting his eyelids and glancing at her, Zhou Mingxuan clearly didn't believe her. "You know whether you have it or not."
"You keep saying you're worried it's not safe for Haozi to go alone.
Don't you think about how dangerous it is for you to stay at home alone with a big belly?
You know he used the medicine you prepared. Although his current skills are not as good as yours and your second brother's, no one else can be his match.
Even if someone has a gun, they may not be able to hurt him, so what's the danger?"
As he said that, he stuffed the peeled orange into Liu Jingxue's hand and said, "If you don't like oranges, then eat more.
Oranges are now in season in large quantities, I will go buy some later."
Seeing that he didn't forget to take care of herself even though he was angry with her, Liu Jingxue's heart softened a little, and her anger subsided a little.
She was actually a little thirsty, so she drank some water and ate some oranges as he asked.
"Originally, Haozi said he would go alone and asked me to stay home to take care of you. It was you who kept saying it was a two-person business and that Haozi couldn't be left to suffer alone.
He also said that when going for an inspection for the first time, it would be better for two people to go together so that they have someone to discuss with.
What you said does make sense, that's why I agreed to go with Haozi this time."
"But after making this decision, I thought about it over and over again, and I always felt that it was not appropriate to leave you alone at home.
If grandpa, parents, and uncle knew about this, they would probably scold me to death."
Liu Jingxue was about to open her mouth to refute, but was interrupted by him.
"I know you're capable and can take care of yourself, but this is a special period for you, isn't it?"
Liu Jingxue sighed inwardly, "Forget it, I won't let this person know. I have the ability to take care of myself, so no matter how much I say, it's useless.
Let’s try the Concentric Talisman first.”
Zhou Mingxuan was still chattering, and Liu Jingxue interrupted him, "Stop, I don't want to hear you say this now.
My master gave me something."
"You have a master?" Zhou Mingxuan interrupted her. "Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
Liu Jingxue was a little angry when she was interrupted, and coincidentally, she felt the fetus moving in her stomach at this moment.
Feeling the baby's fetal movement, the anger that had just emerged subsided.
"Forget it, for the sake of the children, I won't bother with him."
He glared at Zhou Mingxuan and said, "I'm talking about business, don't interrupt me.
Is it incredible that I have a master?
Without a master, how could I have learned these ancient martial arts and medicine making skills?"
Seeing that Liu Jingxue was angry, Zhou Mingxuan smiled ingratiatingly, "Go on, go on. I promise not to interrupt."
With a cold snort, Liu Jingxue continued speaking.
"Master gave me something, saying it can test whether you really love me."
Liu Jingxue did not say that the Heart Talisman can verify whether two parties are sincere to each other.
She thought that if it couldn't be used, if it was her fault, she could put the blame on Zhou Mingxuan.
Anyway, the things are hers, and she has the right to interpret them. She can even turn black into white.
Zhou Mingxuan looked at Liu Jingxue as if she was a fool, and opened his mouth to say something, but remembering that Liu Jingxue didn't let her interrupt, he didn't say anything in the end.
"What do you want to say?" Liu Jingxue asked when she saw that he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
"Xiaoxue, has your master been deceived?
How could such a thing exist in the world?"
Before the Heart-to-Heart Talisman came out with the result, Liu Jingxue didn't intend to waste time explaining a bunch of things to him, and directly said firmly,
"Just tell me, do you dare to try?
You keep saying that you like me and are sincere to me, but are you lying to me and don't even dare to give it a try? "
"Stop, stop, stop." Zhou Mingxuan raised his hand to stop.
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t try.
I just doubt whether that thing is useful?
What if that thing is a lie and can't test my sincerity towards you at all? Wouldn't that be a huge injustice to me?"
Liu Jingxue insisted on her own opinion, "Master has never lied to me about anything he gave me.
You won’t know if it works until you try it.”
Zhou Mingxuan couldn't help but think of what his mother had told him.
"Mingxuan, you have to be careful, pregnant women are more peculiar and often have some strange thoughts.
At this time, as a husband, you cannot look at this matter rationally. No matter what she says or what she asks you to do, you just have to do what she says.
Don't confront her, or the consequences will be serious."
Zhou Mingxuan thought that the situation he was facing now might be the same as what his mother was talking about.
Thinking of his mother's repeated instructions, he nodded directly, "Okay, if you want me to try, I will try.
But let me first state that no matter what the results of that test are, my feelings for you are absolutely true.
If you don't believe me, I swear to heaven that if I don't really like you and I'm lying to you, I'll be struck by lightning."
In order to avoid possible accidents, Zhou Mingxuan first put on a protective cover for himself.
Seeing that Zhou Mingxuan was willing to try, Liu Jingxue planned to get up and go to the room to get something.
This was naturally a show for Zhou Mingxuan to see, and the things were placed in the space.
Seeing Liu Jingxue was about to get up, Zhou Mingxuan quickly got up and came over to support her.
But this didn't go down well. Liu Jingxue slapped him in annoyance and said, "I'm not that weak."
Zhou Mingxuan just smiled and didn't get angry.
This scene has happened countless times in the past month, and he has long been accustomed to it.
After walking around the room, Liu Jingxue returned with something in her hand.
Reaching out to take the thing from Liu Jingxue's hand, Zhou Mingxuan frowned as he looked at the strange pattern carved on the paper, which looked like paper but not paper, using some unknown pigment.
"Xiaoxue, this is what your master gave me. It can test whether I am sincere to you?"
Why does it feel so much like the kind of thing that scammers use to fool old men and women?
The more I look at Zhou Mingxuan, the less reliable he seems.
"Isn't this unreliable?" Zhou Mingxuan said carefully.
“You won’t know if it’s reliable until you try it.
Everything is here, do you want to try it or not?"
Hearing the impatience in Liu Jingxue's tone, Zhou Mingxuan, full of desire to survive, quickly nodded, "Try, if you don't try, you're a puppy."
"But how do we try this?"
Liu Jingxue didn’t know how to try it, so she quickly asked Tuanzi in her mind.
"You two just need to take some blood from your hearts and drop it on the talisman," Tuanzi replied.
"How do we get the heart blood? Do we have to pierce the heart?"
"It's not that troublesome. As the saying goes, the fingers are connected to the heart. Just take the blood from your fingertips."
Liu Jingxue sneered at Tuanzi in her mind, "Then why don't you just say blood between your fingers? Why are you talking about blood from your heart?"
Tuanzi retorted, “That’s because your cultivation is low and you can’t take the blood from others’ hearts.
In the world of cultivation, drawing blood from the heart is a very simple matter. Many skills and talismans require the use of heart blood.
I'm using a compromise and trickery to let you take blood from your fingertip."
Liu Jingxue pretended not to hear.
She slipped a needle through space into her palm and handed it to Zhou Mingxuan, "Prick your fingertip and drop the blood on the talisman."
Although he was very skeptical, Zhou Mingxuan placed the so-called talisman on the table, took the needle in his right hand, and inserted it into the middle finger of his left hand without saying a word.
When he saw blood on his middle finger, he pointed at it to make more blood flow.
Seeing those ghostly patterns, he asked Liu Jingxue, "Where should they be applied?"
After receiving Tuanzi's reply, Liu Jingxue said, "It's up to you, as long as it's on the talisman."
Zhou Mingxuan had an expression that said, "I'll act with you," and wiped the blood on his hands onto the talisman.
