Chapter 402: Unseen, but not Unnoticed
As Big Sis Crane looks over the talismans, she also has something else in her hand.
The bead that Gong had me bring over to her, which I subtly placed in the bundle of talismans that I gave her. As she looks over the talismans openly, I sense her hand discreetly fingering the bead, covering it in her spiritual sense.
“I’m impressed... these could actually affect me. Something that is quite difficult to do, at least in these lands. I wonder how long you spent crafting them?”
She gives me a nod of acceptance, with the slightly disappointed air from before gone.
“Looks like you truly are worth the investments I’ve been planning. Now, in terms of my...”
She freezes, her eyes darting to directly look at the bead. Clearly, whatever was within has made her pause.
Her eyes then look over at me sharply. Particularly my mouth.
What the heck did Gong tell her? My scan told me not to look in the bead earlier, but now should be fine. Right?
...
...
No way. Gong told her about her, Ai, Lin, and Shi’s entire pleasure session with me... and that I ate her out. Writing it all in erotic detail, like some kind of smut novel...
Big Sis Crane’s mouth raises in a smirk.
“Heh. Seems like you have some skill, after all...”
She leans over to whisper in Sister Nuan’s ear. Whose face slowly turns red before she stares at me.
Even the invisible cultivator woman was staring at me before I turned my eyes to look at her, to which she rapidly shifted her eyes away.@@@@
Sigh. Why do I get the feeling that Big Sis Crane just wanted to bring me here to tease me?
...Actually, considering the lifespan and views of cultivators, that might not be too far off. Finding things to entertain them after their lifetimes is probably quite difficult to do.
At least the note also had updates about the other things we did. Though, the way Gong describes me to her seems a little weird. Making us seem more romantic and intimate than what we have.
Maybe that’s her way of protecting me.
She pauses for the briefest moment.
“...but you may have a point.”
She calls the invisible cultivator woman over to her side, with the slight wave of her finger.
The woman kneels before her, having appeared in an instant. Sister Nuan watches, but it is evident she cannot perceive anything, regardless of how she strains her eyes. Only Big Sis Crane, the other invisible cultivators, and I can perceive her.
Big Sis Crane raises one of the talismans that I had given her. Something that could fully heal Big Sis Crane to her full condition. Of course, it could do the same for any cultivator below her level too, as the method would tailor the healing to the individual.
With a glow, the talisman burns away, as it heals the invisible cultivator woman. Helping her with whatever condition she is dealing with.
...why did she stay so adamant about me not healing her people?
Unless...
She must be wary of me knowing more about their constitutions and abilities. The act of healing someone provides me with a great deal of knowledge, after all. I’m sure whatever is letting them appear non-existent could be inferred from healing them.
And I’ve been avoiding using my scan in depth on them, to not cross any red lines, as my scan told me would happen. The only reason I showed I can perceive them is because I did so when I first met Big Sis Crane.
Interestingly, I see Big Sis Crane’s and the invisible woman’s face stare in surprise. Showing that they didn’t expect it to heal something in her body. Their glances at me make me curious to what it could be. However, my danger scan still tells me it wouldn’t be smart to find out.
Either way, both of them school their expressions quickly and act like nothing happened. To my surprise, she actually bows her head slightly, with her next words.
“Well. It appears your talisman works well. I’m grateful to you, James. I’m looking forward to much more from you in the future.”
With a clap and a smile, she proceeds to the next set of business.
“Alright, call in those old fogies....ah, I mean honored guests.”
One of her visible servants goes out to bring in the guests.
Of which I can see there are three: Ascending Myriad Monsters Group, Eight Winds Alchemical Research Society, and the group I’ve been avoiding.
The Healer’s Association.
