Chapter 518: Chapter 519: Calming Talisman Figure (for Latte Baibai +3)

Now, no matter how much the Chiang Family stirred up trouble, it seemed increasingly difficult to affect Little’s mood.

They felt that this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing, but now, their break with the Old Chiang Family had truly become complete.

"This girl," Xu Linjiang laughed and scolded.

He indeed had grown to like Chiang Xiao’s spirited and cheerful nature more and more.

Chiang Xiao had gone to send a painting.

Anxious, she had opted for express delivery.

The post office clerk gave her a curious glance but didn’t ask further.

Chiang Xiao could be considered a regular at the post office these days; sometimes she would even bring half a pound of chestnuts for the older sister clerk to eat, so this sister had a very good impression of her.

"Chiang Xiao, this isn’t mailing a letter, is it? This tube, is it a painting?"

Because Chiang Xiao’s letters arrived every other day, the older sister was quite familiar with her name.

"Oh, yes, just some casual drawing, sending it for my relative to see," Chiang Xiao didn’t elaborate.

The older sister still praised her, saying, "Looking at this tube, it must be a pretty big painting; to be able to draw casually like that is quite impressive."

Chiang Xiao smiled, paid the postage, watched the older sister put the express mail on the outgoing shelf, and then turned to leave.

When Chiang Qingshui arrived at the hospital, it was naturally with cries that shook the heavens and earth, which added to Ho Laidi’s discomfort, giving her a throbbing headache.

Suddenly, she felt that Chiang Xiao must be a jinx; their misfortunes, more or less, were all related to her.

Thinking this, she couldn’t help but shudder.

"Enough with the crying, let’s not provoke that jinx anymore from now on."

If Chiang Xiao knew that Ho Laidi had finally gained such enlightenment, she would surely be happy enough to eat an extra bowl of rice that evening.

After all, there was braised meat for dinner tonight! Just thinking of the large piece of pork her grandmother had mentioned buying that morning to cook for the evening meal made Chiang Xiao’s mouth water.

After returning, she continued to study that book.

In the past few days, she had deciphered the content of a Talisman Diagram, and using a regular pen, had practiced drawing it twice, memorizing it well.

However, Chiang Xiao still found the explanation of this Talisman Diagram somewhat unbelievable.

After all, it was a Calming Talisman Figure.

The annotation explained that the Calming Talisman Figure was a fundamental design. Its primary function was to be drawn on one’s body, or on clothes, even on accessories, and furthermore, it could be drawn on paper, then placed inside a cloth bag to be worn on the body to be effective.

Chiang Xiao was skeptical.

She leaned more towards the belief that it was simply an ancient tribe’s way of blessing, merely a psychological crutch, a comfort of the mind.

Yet, since she had learned it, she felt compelled to give it a try, considering that it was the only one she had deciphered so far.

The book didn’t specify that the Magic Brush had to be used, but Chiang Xiao thought, since the Magic Brush belonged to the Space, the Bamboo Hut was of the Space, and this book was also from the Space, the Talisman Diagram should probably be drawn with the Magic Brush.

Having nothing else to do at the moment, Chiang Xiao decided to attempt drawing one to see how it would turn out.

The Calming Talisman Figure looked a bit like Entwined Flowers and Plants and was quite pretty. She summoned the Magic Brush, which now had an even darker aura, but its faint luminescence was more dazzling than ever.

Chiang Xiao hadn’t summoned the pen for a long time, and seeing its higher beauty now, she felt she had somewhat neglected it and was even more eager to take up the brush and paint.
