Chapter 3170 Duty Some talismans could be used three times, while some were only useful once. It mainly depends on their effects. Leng Xiaoyao gave Li Mochen a talisman to protect himself from evil beings, while the one for Mu Yiyang's subordinate was to prevent him from encountering trouble. Leng Xiaoyao wasn't sure whether the trouble would kill him, but it was better to avoid it as much as possible. "I trust you. Miss Leng, thank you for your help," Mu Yiyang's subordinate replied. Even if he didn't trust Leng Xiaoyao, he trusted Li Mochen very much. "Um, Xiaoyao, why don't you draw a piece for each of us as well? We might run into trouble too," Mu Yiyang suggested. "No need to care about them." Before Leng Xiaoyao said anything, Li Mochen spoke first. He didn't want them to bother Leng Xiaoyao. "It's not a big deal. It's just a few talismans. It won't take much time," Leng Xiaoyao said. It wasn't difficult, so she didn't want to upset them. It would only take her a little magical power to draw the talismans. After resting for several hours, she could quickly recover. "Thanks, Xiaoyao!" Mu Yiyang thanked her at once. "If so, draw one for me too, please," Si Yiqi asked. "No problem," Leng Xiaoyao said. Afterwards, she took out a pen, yellow paper, and cinnabar. She carried them wherever she went. After Leng Xiaoyao took the things out, everyone was subconsciously quiet and stared at her. They wanted to know how she would draw it. After placing the stuff properly, Leng Xiaoyao picked up the pen and dipped it in the cinnabar. She poured magical power into it, then started drawing. As Leng Xiaoyao released magical power, Li Mochen sensed it. He felt that it was very familiar and realized that Leng Xiaoyao needed the familiar power to draw talismans. Perhaps the power was useful, more so than the talisman. Li Mochen was right. The effect of the talisman didn't rely on the talisman itself, it relied on the magical power. Therefore, people without magical power couldn't draw useful talismans. Actually, not everyone with magical power could do it either because it relied on one's talent to cultivate. Leng Xiaoyao quickly drew on the yellow paper and surprised everyone. She was so good at it. After drawing, Leng Xiaoyao didn't give it to Mu Yiyang's subordinate right away. She would give the talismans to them together later. Leng Xiaoyao drew six talismans at once, so it took a lot of magical energy and her face looked a little pale. "Are you alright?" asked Li Mochen with concern. "Xiaoyao, is it OK?" "Miss Leng, are you alright?" The others asked her in concern. "It's fine. It only takes some energy. I'll be fine after resting for a while," Leng Xiaoyao said with a smile. Then she folded them one by one into triangles before handing them out. "Carry it with you wherever you go. Don't remove it and don't let it touch water." "Thank you, Xiaoyao." "Thanks, Miss Leng." Everyone thanked her. "Xiaoyao, you're amazing! I honestly admire you more and more," Mu Yiyang said. He was indeed more and more impressed by Leng Xiaoyao. "Do you still remember what I said to you? I have more surprises that you don't know about yet. I can say that to you again now," Leng Xiaoyao said with a confident smile. "Of course, but I find it increasingly strange. Now I feel as if you're not really a human," Mu Yiyang said. Once he said that, Li Mochen gave him a cold glance. Mu Yiyang immediately realized that he shouldn't have said that, so he explained. "Um, I mean you're not an ordinary person. You're like a god…" Leng Xiaoyao understood Mu Yiyang's meaning, so she wasn't displeased when he said that she wasn't really a human. "I'm indeed not an ordinary person, but it's too exaggerated if you say that I'm a god." Leng Xiaoyao said, "Since I already shared a secret with you right now, I can tell you more about that. In this world, there are really strange beings you don't think exist. So, you should be mentally-prepared. If you run into strange things in the future and can't deal with them, you can tell me. I'll help you." Hearing Leng Xiaoyao's words, they all looked extremely serious, but had mixed emotions. They indeed didn't believe that those strange things really existed in this world. However, they were told that the truth was different. It was hard for them to accept it so suddenly. "Thanks, Xiaoyao, but will it bother you?" Mu Yiyang asked. He was grateful to Leng Xiaoyao for what she had done for them, but he was afraid that it might bother her. "Right." Si Yiqi chimed in. "Not at all." Leng Xiaoyao said, "Different professionals have different duties. Soldiers should guard the country, the police should protect the people, and Taoist priests should kill monsters and ghosts. Although I'm not a Taoist priest, I have the same duty. Whenever I encounter monsters or ghosts, I have to deal with them." Knowing that, they were less worried. "Xiaoyao, do monsters and ghosts really exist?" asked Mu Yiyang. Even if Leng Xiaoyao just said that there were all kinds of strange things in this world, she didn't mention any details. He wasn't sure how strange those things could be. "Probably. I've encountered many strange things, but I haven't seen any monsters or ghosts yet." Leng Xiaoyao answered. Because she hadn't run into them yet, she wasn't sure. "Anyway, since strange things really exist in this world, I believe monsters and ghosts are highly likely to be real too. So, you better be mentally prepared." Although Leng Xiaoyao wasn't sure of it, they agreed that monsters and ghosts really existed. Therefore, they took a breath in, feeling scared. They usually weren't afraid of anything, but now suddenly they felt anxious. No matter how bold they were, they were still frightened by the fact that monsters and ghosts could really exist. They were humans, not gods! Everyone was silent, but Leng Xiaoyao's stomach suddenly grumbled. It broke the silence and everyone turned to look at her. "Are you hungry?" asked Li Mochen. "Yeah." Leng Xiaoyao nodded, not feeling embarrassed. "What do you want to eat?" asked Li Mochen.
