Why are the Talismans I Drawn Banned Again?!

Chapter 246: Chapter 217: Praise the Snake!
“Yue, I think I’ve figured out a method.”

Jiang Cheng’s brows relaxed, and for some reason, he was especially brimming with inspiration this time.

Yue Linger’s face remained expressionless, “Thinking about the symbol is important, but could you let go of my hand before talking to me?”

Jiang Cheng looked at Yue Linger’s hands, puzzled, “But Yue, I’m not holding your hand.”

Yue Linger said exasperatedly, “I’m talking about Liu Qing’s hand! It’s not even dark yet, can we pay attention to the impact, please?”

Jiang Cheng earnestly corrected Yue’s misunderstanding, “Liu Qing and I are innocent.”

Liu Qing also nodded in agreement.

Indeed, there was nothing strange between her and Jiang Cheng; they were just friends.

She was unashamed of this fact, with no need to hide or be secretive.

Yue Linger gritted her teeth, “Alright, alright, innocent hand-holding, right?”

“Friends,” Liu Qing said.

“Then I’m also Jiang Cheng’s friend! I want to hold hands too.”

Yue Linger strode to Jiang Cheng’s other side, took his hand without a word, and glared triumphantly at Liu Qing.

According to Yue Linger’s assumption, if Liu Qing truly had feelings beyond friendship for Jiang Cheng, she would be furious to see Yue Linger holding hands with him.

Then, knowing Jiang Cheng as she did, she was certain he would never stand by and let Liu Qing bully her. Jiang Cheng was not the type to play dead and ignore a friend.

That way, she could naturally segue into, “Brother, she’s so mean, yet I can only feel sorry for Brother.”

If Liu Qing didn’t mind her holding hands with Jiang Cheng, then all the better.

At least that would mean Liu Qing could accept her as a “sister.”

As for becoming “Mrs. Jiang,” Yue Linger dared not ponder too deeply.

Jiang Cheng was indeed too outstanding; she felt she couldn’t assert dominance over someone like Liu Qing. In fact, it was Liu Qing who could suppress her and her school sister without any effort.

However, reality did not unfold as Yue Linger had imagined.

When she held hands with Jiang Cheng, Liu Qing did not react violently—in fact, her expression barely changed, and she just looked calmly at Jiang Cheng.

It seemed as if she was asking for Jiang Cheng’s opinion.

Yue Linger thought to herself: Could it be she doesn’t dislike me? Is there a chance?

Only Jiang Cheng, who understood Snake Tongue, knew what Liu Qing truly meant.

A snake with an expressionless face and calm eyes, staring intently at you = The snake doesn’t like it, but chooses not to say so.

Keeping employees in a good mood during work was something he, as a conscientious boss, should do.

“Yue, as I was saying, I’ve thought of a method for drawing symbols.”

Jiang Cheng quickly steered the conversation elsewhere.

He gracefully let go of Yue Linger’s hand first, then Liu Qing’s.

“What method?” Yue Linger asked innocently.

She clearly hadn’t noticed some subtleties.

“Use the Storage Bag.”

“Storage Bag?” Yue Linger echoed, clearly not understanding.

Jiang Cheng patiently explained, “Haven’t you noticed? Why would such a powerful space magical treasure like the Storage Bag become an ordinary item that even low-level Cultivators can easily buy?”

“Why?”

Because that’s how Cultivating Immortality novels wrote it, which then became a widely accepted concept in the world of Cultivating Immortality, and ultimately, Cultivating Immortality games followed suit.

“The origins of the Storage Bag are an ancient secret, difficult to trace, so let’s not discuss that. Essentially, what I want to say is, the Storage Bag, being the only space magical treasure that low-level Cultivators can buy, has abilities that most Cultivators greatly underestimate.”

Yue Linger shook her head, “I don’t understand.”

Indeed, the Storage Bag was very convenient, but it also had many limitations.

For instance, it couldn’t store living creatures, ownerless objects, or things that didn’t belong to oneself. Using it required expending spiritual power and Spiritual Power, and it was easy to lose items if attacked, among other restrictions.

Jiang Cheng said to Liu Qing, “Go grab one of your clothes and my Storage Bag.”

Liu Qing didn’t nod but got up to do as asked. She first went to the master bedroom for one of her clothes and then to Jiang Cheng’s room, bringing out his Storage Bag.

Jiang Cheng took the Storage Bag and aimed it at Liu Qing’s clothes.

No reaction.

“Yue, do you know why the Storage Bag isn’t working?”

Yue Linger furrowed her brows, “Because that’s Liu Qing’s clothing, not yours, thus it can’t be stored.”

Jiang Cheng nodded, “Exactly,” then said to Liu Qing, “Liu Qing, gift me that piece of clothing.”

Liu Qing glanced at Yue Linger.

Yue Linger: ?

Jiang Cheng helplessly said, “Not for her. It’s just for an experiment, and I’ll return it immediately.”

“Oh.”

“Take it!”

After Liu Qing agreed, Jiang Cheng again used the Storage Bag on her clothes, and this time, the clothes went smoothly into his Storage Bag.

Yue Linger seemed to grasp the concept: “You mean to have me use the Storage Bag to dig a hole? But as for the ownerless land, the Storage Bag won’t work.”

“If the Storage Bag doesn’t work on land, then why can it store stones?”

“Because stones are small, while the land is too big.”

“No,” Jiang Cheng shook his head, “it’s because stones have boundaries, while the land does not. If, Yue, you could ‘tell’ the Storage Bag: this patch of earth is mine, help me store it. Then naturally, the Storage Bag can do it. This is no different from storing clothes.”

Yue Linger was stunned by Jiang Cheng’s idea.

She had been using the Storage Bag for at least a decade but never thought, as Jiang Cheng did, that it could be used in such a way.

“You want me to deceive the Storage Bag…”

“Not deceive, but assist the Storage Bag, helping it more accurately locate the thing it needs to store.”

“Hiss!”

Yue Linger inhaled sharply.
