Nationwide Development: Spend Billions in Advance to Bind the Empress

Chapter 270 Serious In-App Purchases, You Say I'm Playing Tricks?!

Shen Yun's eyes twitched when the camera switched to Tu Miaoling's image.

Good heavens, who is this disheveled person?!

In the picture, Tu Miaoling is covered in talisman paint, looking like she hasn't taken care of herself for several days.

His face was pale and sickly, with some ink stains on it.

At this moment, she was engrossed in carving the sacred talisman paper on the table, completely absorbed in the task.

"Stay calm, stay calm..." she muttered to herself as she made the last stroke. The talisman flashed and slowly rose into the air, emitting a soft holy light!

"Haha! It's done! It's finally done!!"

She laughed heartily; there was no reason not to be excited.

This is the third Saint-level talisman she has successfully inscribed.

Moreover, it's a talisman that naturally exudes goodwill!

'Senior will be very happy to see this!!' Extreme excitement made Tu Miaoling suddenly feel dizzy, and she realized that she had overexerted herself and staggered.

Just as she was trying to steady herself, a familiar figure flashed to her side and pulled her into an embrace.

Tu Miaoling shrank her neck: "Senior... Senior..."

Shen Yun frowned: "I warned you before not to rush things. Now that there are no hidden dangers in the Tu Tian clan, why don't you cherish yourself?"

After activating her imperial bloodline, the girl's cultivation reached the ninth level of the Heavenly One Realm. However, due to the excessive consumption of talismans, a warning message popped up stating that her cultivation was unstable and she was about to fall.

"I want to master the feel of Saint-level talisman paper as soon as possible." Tu Miaoling rarely saw Shen Yun so serious. She carefully took out the talisman she had just drawn:

"Here, senior, this is the one that was just finished."

Tu Miaoling spoke timidly, afraid that Shen Yun would be angry or disappointed in her. However, this advancement to Saint-level Talisman Master was of extraordinary significance, and she wanted to master it as soon as possible to help her senior.

"You!" Seeing her nervous and cautious expression, Shen Yun realized she had made a mistake and shook his head helplessly.

This girl did it all for him, so it's not appropriate to be too harsh on her.

"Just this once!" He reached out and pinched Tu Miaoling's cheek:

"If you do it again, I'll punish you severely!"

"Mmm!" Tu Miaoling smiled happily when she saw that he had given in.

"Senior, this is a talisman paper with a power of seventy-two times! Isn't that amazing!"

[Returnable Item - Low-Grade Saint-Rank Illusionary Annihilation Talisman (72x Enhancement): After use, the enemy enters an illusion and is attacked by illusory enemies.]

"Amazing, amazing." Shen Yun carried her in his arms and brought her to the stone platform in the secret chamber.

Just as he was about to put her down, he saw Tu Miaoling tightly gripping his clothes and burying her head in his chest:

"Senior, I want to... fall asleep in your arms~..."

She had fallen into a deep sleep amidst her murmurs.

'Now you know it's time to sleep...' Seeing this, Shen Yun picked her up, turned around, and sat her on the stone platform, tucking her messy hair behind her ear.

After spending time with her, it became clear that Tu Miaoling is actually quite sensitive.

Just now, he only frowned slightly, and it startled the girl quite a bit. But that's how it is with nurturing a character; you still have to point out mistakes when necessary.

At this moment, a consumption notification popped up:

"Oh? There's an unexpected bonus!" Shen Yun's eyes lit up, and he quickly clicked to buy!

Shen Yun glanced at the user manual, and his lips twitched:

'Is this some kind of crazy tactic?!'

When used, the blood vessels that need to be depicted will appear on the character's body.

Simply use a brush to draw the veins.

He'd only ever seen that kind of thing on TV!

'Damn, at least I've put my skills to good use! Luckily, Miao Ling is asleep, otherwise she would think I'm a pervert...' Shen Yun comforted himself, knowing that time was of the essence, and took out the fiery red Bloodline Engraving Brush.

at the same time.

Starting from Tu Miaoling's neck, fine red veins began to appear.

Without hesitation, Shen Yun directly aimed his pen at the neck.

The red health bar turned into a crystalline green, and then released energy that flowed into Tu Miaoling's limbs and bones.

'The operation is quite simple, continue!' He followed the instructions on the pen, winding downwards.

The clothes don't need to be touched; they will disappear when they come into contact with the bloodline engraving.

However, as Shen Yun was drawing, he noticed that the line started to go down from the collarbone!

'This line was found very accurately!' Feeling embarrassed, Shen Yun didn't want to waste time and could only quickly sketch it out.

The more he drew, the more embarrassed he became!

Then you see a circle drawn on this side, and then the line extends to the other side where another circle is drawn.

To put it simply, he drew an infinity!

Fortunately, Shen Yun had seen it all before, and even if his clothes disappeared, he could still keep his composure.

'I paid for it myself, so I'll grit my teeth and use it! Onward…'

Tu Miaoling woke up groggily.

Then she saw her senior, who was holding a pen and smiling at her.

But the pen kept teasing her, which was... very embarrassing!

'So this is how immortals entertain themselves... But this is too much...' Tu Miaoling closed her eyes tightly, mustered her courage, and weakly punched her senior's chest:

"Senior, you...you're so skilled at this!"

What else could she do? She couldn't very well refuse and disappoint her senior.

Moreover, her tone carried a hint of indulgence.

This led Shen Yun to believe that she was still half asleep, dreaming and not fully awake.

'With maximum favorability, there's no way to win!'

She even dreams about him and doesn't say it, and she deliberately indulges in it. Her 100 points of affection are no joke!

'It's best not to wake her...'

Seeing that her senior hadn't stopped writing but remained silent, Tu Miaoling assumed she had tacitly agreed and felt a little embarrassed.

'This little quirk of his, senior, is definitely something only I know! I should guide him to open up a bit, so he doesn't think I don't like it? He'll probably like me even more in the future…' Thinking this, Tu Miaoling grew bolder, her pink lips slightly parted, her eyes hazy as she exhaled a delicate fragrance:

"Senior~, Miaoling, I like it so much~..."

"Holy crap! Sis, I'm just spending money normally, I'm not a pervert, don't go too far!" Shen Yun's forehead was starting to sweat.

He was genuinely worried that Tu Miaoling would suddenly wake up and see this scene!

Fortunately, it was nearing its end. After finishing the last stroke with lightning speed, he disappeared from the spot.

To avoid being labeled a pervert, Shen Yun thought for a moment and then said in a deliberately deep voice:

"Miaoling, wake up immediately! This is a supreme secret technique to sublimate the imperial blood within you and rapidly enhance your cultivation! Do not fall into the path of lust!!"

Tu Miaoling, who had just landed on the cold stone platform, was startled awake by the rumbling sound in her mind and sat bolt upright, trembling all over.

'Senior...you're not...playing around?!'

She stared blankly at the pendant around her neck.

What she said before...

In an instant, Tu Miaoling's face turned bright red!

Seeing that she was exhausted from drawing talismans, the senior used a secret technique to help her cultivate.

But she actually mistook the magic her senior had given her for...

Is this considered a perverted method?!

'So, when you smiled at me just now, were you just... just hinting that I shouldn't interrupt?'

At this moment, Tu Miaoling was so ashamed she wanted to disappear into the ground; she couldn't even lift her head.

"I'm so sorry, senior. Miaoling... Miaoling didn't know..."

Hearing that she was almost in tears, Shen Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief:

'Thank goodness, as long as they don't think I'm a pervert...'

He quickly cleared his throat and began to speak in a charade:

"No need to apologize. The fact that this secret technique can relax one's mind shows it's extremely effective for you. Alright, go into seclusion and cultivate properly; don't waste the imperial blood energy within you."

'Hmm... I will obey your command, senior.' Tu Miaoling could only suppress her shyness, waved her hand to dry the stone platform, sat cross-legged, and quickly entered a meditative state:

'As long as I cultivate quickly, embarrassment won't be able to catch up with me, it won't catch up with me...'
