Ling Cage: Twelve Talismans? I have everything I need.

Chapter 78 Watching a Show
"Hehe, good stuff in hand!" Bai Yuetian muttered, turning the talisman in his palm over and over, his fingertips tracing the snake-shaped pattern.

"Little snake, little snake, today I'm counting on you to let me find some joy in being a grandfather."

He moved with light steps and had a clear goal.

The training ground in Ulan Aodeng.

It wasn't lunchtime yet; Ulan Aodeng was still supervising Maiduo's training. The three of them had already eaten early.

Yang Chen stood inside the door, looking at Bai Yuetian's back, shaking his head helplessly and amusedly.

He muttered to himself, "This guy... he's so happy to have gotten the snake talisman. If he really becomes invisible, he'll cause a lot of trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light enveloped his entire body, and Yang Chen's figure instantly blurred and shrank.

It transformed into a small, gray bird with fluffy feathers and lively eyes, and fluttered out of the open window.

They caught up silently with the tall, excited figure ahead.

On the training field, Mai Duo's delicate shouts, the sound of weapons cutting through the air, and the sound of footsteps pounding the ground mingled together.

Ulan Aodeng was facing Maiduo, observing her movements as she drew her gun.

"Draw your gun quickly! Strike hard! There can be no hesitation!" Ulan Aodeng's voice boomed, his eyes blazing. "Keep your arm steady! Use your core muscles! Maiduo, do it again!"

Xiaomaido's face was tense, sweat trickling down her forehead as she gripped a specially made short gun, perfectly suited to her height.

Take a deep breath and perform the standard thrusting motion again.

The tip of the gun sliced ​​through the air, making a faint whooshing sound.

Bai Yuetian crept up behind Wulan Aodeng, a sly smile on his face.

He looked down at the invisibility artifact, the snake talisman, in his hand, his confidence soaring.

"Little Deng, you always have such a stern face. Today, Grandpa will show you what mysterious power is all about." He thought to himself with smug satisfaction.

He held his breath, carefully extended a finger, and gently and quickly poked Ulan Aodeng's back.

Ulan Aodeng's back muscles tensed instantly.

He turned around abruptly, his brows furrowed, his sharp gaze sweeping behind him.

What met his gaze was Bai Yuetian's face, which was still wearing a mischievous smile and hadn't quite managed to hide it yet.

Bai Yuetian? Why is he here again? Is this ever going to end?

Ulan Aodeng glared at him irritably, then turned away as if nothing had happened, leaving him with only the back of his head.

Maiduo was also drawn to the commotion and stopped what she was doing, wanting to look at Bai Yuetian behind Wulan Aodeng.

"Focus on training!" Ulan Aodeng immediately looked at Maiduo, his voice stern.

"Now that you've chosen a gun, you can't slack off! Do your movements correctly! Practice that basic shooting technique again! Stay focused!"

He deliberately ignored Bai Yuetian behind him, as if the other person was just an eyesore of air.

He now understood that as long as he ignored Bai Yuetian, Bai Yuetian would get bored and leave on his own.

Maiduo pouted when her father yelled at her, quickly looked away, gripped her pistol tightly again, and practiced even more diligently.

Bai Yuetian stood there, his smile froze, and he began to have doubts.

Huh? Why did it feel like Xiao Deng could see me just now? And he even glared at me?
He looked down at the talisman, then at Ulan Aodeng's retreating figure.

...It must be a coincidence! He just happened to turn around and make eye contact with me.

This time, he walked directly to Wulan Aodeng's side, stretched out his finger, and quickly poked the other's strong arm.

Ulan Aodeng didn't even bother to turn his head this time, but just impatiently moved his arm that had been poked.

Hey, you can't see me after all.

Bai Yuetian's confidence soared.

The little bird that Yang Chen had transformed into was now leisurely perched on the branch of a large tree at the edge of the training field, taking in the whole scene.

He tilted his little head, his eyes filled with a human-like speechlessness: "...You childish brat."

Seeing that Bai Yuetian was about to run off somewhere else, the little bird flapped its wings and flew away from the noisy training ground, gliding lightly over the village. Its gaze was quickly drawn to a lush ancient tree in the distance.

Under the shade of a tree, Bai Yuekui sat quietly on a stone bench in the park.

She seemed to have just finished a walk; her gaze swept across the field, intently watching the small girl, Ulanmaido, diligently practicing her marksmanship.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dancing on the tips of her silver hair.

The little bird landed silently on the soft grass beside Bai Yuekui.

With a flash of blue light, the bird disappeared, replaced by a glossy orange cat with a well-proportioned body.

With elegant, silent steps, the orange cat leaped lightly onto Bai Yuekui's knees, then skillfully curled up and settled into the most comfortable position.

Bai Yuekui finally turned his gaze away from Maiduo and looked down at the orange cat on his lap.

A subtle warmth flickered in those cool eyes.

She didn't speak, but simply raised her hand, her long, slender, fair fingers naturally landing on the orange cat's head, gently stroking the fur along its back.

Her fingertips were slightly cool, yet the pressure was just right. The orange cat squinted contentedly, rested its chin on its front paws, swayed its tail lazily, and purred louder.

After a while, the orange cat stretched comfortably and said, "Your brother just asked me to borrow the talisman to play with."

Bai Yuekui paused slightly as he stroked the orange cat's fur, his fingertips brushing against the cat's warm back, and his clear, cool voice rang out.

"What talisman? You gave it to him?"

"I gave you an empty snake talisman." He rubbed his head comfortably against Bai Yuekui's leg.

Bai Yuekui gently scratched the orange cat's ear with his fingers, his gaze thoughtfully drifting towards the training ground in the distance.

A barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of her mouth: "No wonder I saw him sneaking around behind Xiao Deng earlier."

Bai Yuekui continued, "Let him be, anyway, I'm not the one who'll be embarrassed."

Just then, Bai Yuekui turned his gaze from the distance and landed on the large orange cat on his lap, which was completely unguarded, with its belly spread out and looking lazy and satisfied.

A mischievous glint flashed in her eyes.

Her outstretched hand, which had been sliding down the back of the cat's back, suddenly changed direction and reached for the back of the orange cat's neck.

Long, strong fingers snapped shut, firmly grasping fate by the scruff of its neck.

"Meow?!"

The orange cat's comfortable purring stopped abruptly, replaced by a startled cry.

Its body instinctively stiffened, and its four paws curled up involuntarily.

Its round cat eyes widened in disbelief and shock as it looked at Bai Yuekui, who had suddenly launched an attack.

"Huh?" Bai Yuekui seemed not to have heard the scream.

She held the orange cat by the scruff of its neck, raising her arm slightly so that it was suspended in the air in front of her.

Her gaze slowly moved down, finally landing on the orange cat's lower abdomen.

"Ow!!!"

A piercing howl, filled with disbelief and shame.

The orange cat's fur stood on end, and its beautiful amber eyes were filled with human-like horror.

The intense stimulation caused him to instantly break free from Bai Yuekui's grip on the back of his neck.

The orange cat fell onto the grass at Bai Yuekui's feet, staring warily at the culprit sitting on the stone bench.

A flash of blue light, and the orange cat vanished.

Yang Chen appeared on the grass, clutching his groin and glaring at Bai Yuekui, his voice trembling.

"Bai Yuekui! What are you doing!?"

Bai Yuekui sat gracefully on the stone bench, his posture still elegant and composed.

She withdrew her hand, her fingertips still seemingly retaining the peculiar sensation from just moments before.

She looked at Yang Chen, and the mischievous smile on her face not only didn't disappear, but actually deepened a little.

His eyes were so open and almost innocent: "Just curious, I'm going to take a look."

Bai Yuekui tilted his head slightly: "Let's see if the animal you transformed from this monkey talisman reflects back to its original body structure."

Yang Chen: "..."

He felt a lump in his throat, unable to breathe.

Seeing Yang Chen's angry, anxious, and somewhat aggrieved expression, Bai Yuekui's smile deepened.

She suddenly stood up and took a step closer to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen subconsciously took a half step back, staring at her warily: "What are you trying to do now?"

Bai Yuekui stopped and did not continue to approach.

She pursed her lips, softening her voice, "Orange, turn back again. I haven't touched you enough."

"I promise I won't do any more research."

"Really? You promise?"

Bai Yuekui nodded.

Yang Chen hesitated for a few seconds, seemingly assessing her credibility.

In the end, a flash of blue light, and it turned into an orange cat.

Bai Yuekui sat back down on the stone bench, patted his leg, and gestured for it to jump up.

After hesitating for a long time, the orange cat finally couldn't resist some kind of instinct and lightly leaped back onto Bai Yuekui's knees.

But this time it didn't spread its belly out; instead, it very cautiously chose a lying position.

Bai Yuekui's fingers traced the orange cat's warm fur, and the cat felt the familiar, gentle touch, its tense body gradually relaxing.

Her gaze returned to the bustling training ground in the distance, a slight smile playing on her lips.
