My Five Elements Lack YouCh8 - Drawing and Butts

translator: honeydew

On the plane, Shen Yiqiong couldn’t help but ask Lin Zhushui, “Sir, will she die?” j8 lGi

Lin Zhushui said, “She won’t.”

Shen Yiqiong, seeing Lin Zhushui speak so confidently, knew that Ruan Yunjie had no need to worry about keeping her life. However, he was somewhat puzzled: “I saw that Sir did not use the methods he used to eliminate evil spirits before, but simply offered a tribute to those little imps. How could their grievances be so easily resolved?”

Lin Zhushui said coldly, “Why must they be resolved? They didn’t originally intend to take Ruan Yunjie’s life.”

Shen Yiqiong and Zhou Jiayu both looked puzzled upon hearing this, not understanding what those little imps wanted. AryBYJ

Shen Yiqiong hesitated for a moment and said, “But if the imps didn’t want her life, why did they peel the skin off Ruan Yunjie’s stomach?”

Lin Zhushui closed his eyes and said slowly, “To give her a warning.” The little imps warned Ruan Yunjie to not think about touching the thing in her belly. Ruan Yunjie probably took it the wrong way and thought they wanted her own life.

Shen Yiqiong finally understood. He and Zhou Jiayu still had some doubts in their hearts, but when they saw Lin Zhushui’s appearance, he seemed to have no intention of saying anything more. Thus this matter temporarily drew to a pause.

In the following months, both Shen Yiqiong and Zhou Jiayu paid more attention to news about Ruan Yunjie.

After all, the news of a movie queen leaving the entertainment circle was considered explosive.

The place where they lived didn’t have a TV, so Shen Yiqiong took his phone and flipped through the entertainment circle news, even inviting Zhou Jiayu to come and watch it together.

Ruan Yunjie really spoiled the child, and her stomach gradually swelled up. Perhaps because it was from across a screen, but Ruan Yunjie on the news looked pretty good, her face rosy and not as anxious as when they first met.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Jiayu really thought it was over, until October when he heard Shen Yiqiong say that Ruan Yunjie went crazy. Q6nAsh

Ruan Yunjie, who gave birth to a son in the hospital, disregarded her body that just gave birth and crawled up directly from the hospital bed, crying and shouting that there was a ghost. In the end, the hospital had no choice but to give her a sedative so that she could temporarily calm down.

Shen Yiqiong said, “Why did she suddenly go crazy? It is possible there’s something wrong with the child?”

Zhou Jiayu remained silent, thinking of the three little imps following Ruan Yunjie.

Not many people knew about Ruan Yunjie’s madness. Rui-ge and Ruan Yunjie’s agent suppressed the news, only saying that she had postpartum depression and a poor mental state. TDHcdP

After the birth of the child, Rui-ge still checked his DNA with hesitation. Fortunately, the child was indeed his.

A month after the child was born, Rui-ge invited Lin Zhushui over. Zhou Jiayu originally thought that Lin Zhushui wouldn’t go, but he didn’t expect Lin Zhushui to respond and even ask him to go with him.

So Zhou Jiayu also witnessed the child who drove Ruan Yunjie crazy.

He was a cute boy who inherited Ruan Yunjie’s good looks. Although he was still young, it was obvious he would grow up to be a beauty. When Zhou Jiayu looked at him, he was still sleeping, his long fan-like eyelashes casting a faint shadow on his cheeks, making people’s hearts soften. aNo4ur

He and Ruan Yunjie had been in a long-distance relationship for eight years. He thought they were about to achieve happiness, but he found out that Ruan Yunjie had already gone on another track. After experiencing the Little Imp Incident, he went to investigate Ruan Yunjie’s abortions, but made new discoveries.

It wasn’t sudden cardiac arrest at all. The child he had been yearning for was a healthy baby, but he just had a malicious mother.

“In the future, he will be my only son,” Rui-ge said. “I don’t plan to get married again, I just want to raise him well.” When he looked at the child, his eyes were full of fatherly love and not the coldness and disgust he had when mentioning Ruan Yunjie.

“That’s good,” Lin Zhushui said. EVDq92

After reminiscing about the past, Lin Zhushui planned to leave with Zhou Jiayu.

One in front and one behind, as they made their way to the front door, Lin Zhushui, with his back facing Zhou Jiayu, softly asked a question: “Do you see that?”

Zhou Jiayu was at a loss. “What?”

Lin Zhushui pointed at the ceiling. QXGCts

Zhou Jiayu looked up and sucked in a cold breath after seeing something on the ceiling. On the ceiling above the cradle where the child was sleeping in the living room, there were three black figures hanging upside down. Although their faces were a bit blurry, Zhou Jiayu could vaguely feel their joy.

Zhou Jiayu asked, “They are happy…?”

Lin Zhushui spoke: “En.”

Zhou Jiayu said, “Do they like this child?” reBoiR

Lin Zhushui said something profound: “At least more than his mother does.”

Zhou Jiayu was speechless.

But that was ten months later, and at this time, Zhou Jiayu returned to the three-story wooden building.

Shen Yiqiong collapsed on the sofa, and Zhou Jiayu went to cook a simple dinner. idRNlb

Zhou Jiayu thought he would come back and see Shen Erbai, but found the entire building empty. It seemed that no one had been around for the past few days, so he casually asked a few questions.

Shen Yiqiong said: “He probably went out to do a few things.” He added, “It’s almost July, and everyone’s gone. Isn’t it just me who can accompany Mr. and you to the competition?” He said with a hint of joy on his face.

Zhou Jiayu ate his noodles and asked, “What’s the competition?” He was an outsider and didn’t understand anything.

Shen Yiqiong said, “The content of the competition is different every year. Anyways, everyone there is powerful. You…” He looked up and down at Zhou Jiayu, showing disgust. MQx1Ji

Zhou Jiayu once again felt there was no equality among students here.

Lin Zhushui obviously had little confidence in Zhou Jiayu. The next day, he came to the wooden building and asked Zhou Jiayu to go to the study.

Zhou Jiayu thought that Lin Zhushui was going to conduct devil-like sudden training on him, but Lin Zhushui took out a brush and a talisman, and asked Zhou Jiayu to draw on the talisman.

Zhou Jiayu was startled and said, “What about techniques?” nV0cEM

“What techniques?” Said Lin Zhushui

Zhou Jiayu said, “Things like Qi Condensation in the core...

Lin Zhushui spoke: “Read less martial arts novels.”

Zhou Jiayu: “…” He actually felt ashamed. HZk md

Lin Zhushui rapped on the table and said, “Feng shui is a profession that depends on talent and experience. If you see more and experience more, you will naturally become proficient. Practice these talismans well.”

The example talismans given by Lin Zhushui to Zhou Jiayu were quite complex, requiring one stroke and a smooth appearance. Without practicing for a few months, they were impossible to replicate.

Zhou Jiayu attempted to draw one, and the things he drew were unbearable.

Zhou Jiayu whispered, “Mr. Lin, what’s the use of this talisman?” CtvzXZ

Lin Zhushui said blandly, “If I tell you to draw, you draw. Where did all these questions come from?” It seemed he had no intention of answering.

Zhou Jiayu had no way of responding, so he had to start his training.

Lin Zhushui watched beside him without speaking. Zhou Jiayu started drawing smoothly, but after drawing a few he felt a bit out of place. His brush became heavier and heavier, and the speed of his strokes became slower and slower. In the end, he almost couldn’t hold onto the brush anymore.

Just as Zhou Jiayu was pondering whether to reveal the situation, he felt a chill seeping from his waist. The cool air rushed along his spine and poured into his limbs, causing the originally heavy sensation on his arms to gradually subside with it. y1MlKd

Zhou Jiayu immediately remembered the ink-and-wash tattoo that Lin Zhushui had tattooed on his waist before. Zhou Jiayu said to Jiba, “Feng shui even has this ability?”

Jiba asked: “What ability?”

Zhou Jiayu explained the feeling from his tattoo to Jiba.

After Jiba heard this its entire bird body became very excited and said, “No wonder it’s from LIn Zhushui! How amazing! You should also study the talisman he taught you well, it must be a good thing.” QC6Ff9

Zhou Jiayu strongly agreed.

The two were having a conversation, and Lin Zhushui, who had been very quiet sitting next to him, suddenly frowned and said, “Who are you talking to?”

Zhou Jiayu quickly shut up.

Jiba also nervously covered its own pointed beak with its small claws. 0Km5I4

Lin Zhushui tilted his head slightly, with a hint of confusion on his face, as if wondering about why he could vaguely hear whispers again when there was no one in the room.

Zhou Jiayu lied and said, “Sir, I didn’t speak.”

Lin Zhushui said, “Oh, I must’ve misheard.”

Zhou Jiayu silently reached out and wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead. Although Zhou Jiayu knew that the existence of Jiba was contrary to common sense, he didn’t expect Lin Zhushui could even sense the interaction in his mind. Fortunately, Lin Zhushui seemed to have only heard a little bit of sound, otherwise, Zhou Jiayu was really afraid of being taken away to be studied. CoqF9y

The talisman was very difficult to draw, and sitting next to him was an expressionless big shot, which put endless pressure on Zhou Jiayu.

Fortunately, Lin Zhushui only stayed with Zhou Jiayu for one day and did not come the next. However, Zhou Jiayu did not dare to neglect his studies, as Lin Zhushui made it very clear that he would inspect his skills before leaving.

No matter how difficult it was to draw this talisman, Zhou Jiayu had to persevere and continue. He had not forgotten his identity.

After learning that Zhou Jiayu had started drawing talismans, Shen Yiqiong was completely heartbroken. He sighed all day, saying that a wife was not as good as a concubine, and a concubine was not as good as plain theft. 6tFV2l

Zhou Jiayu asked him, “Who is the wife and who is the concubine?”

Shen Yiqiong was still aggrieved and said, “Hmph, I‘ve accepted Sir as my master, and during the master-disciple appreciation ceremony, Sir even drank my wine.”

Zhou Jiayu was frying vegetables when he heard Shen Yiqiong’s statement in the living room and shouted out, “So what, he’s even seen my butt!!”

There was instant silence outside. nLaoCR

Zhou Jiayu wondered to himself why Shen Yiqiong didn’t refute. However, when he came out of the kitchen, he happened to face Lin Zhushui.

Zhou Jiayu was struck dumb.

Lin Zhushui said casually, “Who saw your butt?”

Zhou Jiayu: “…” 7GJgRW

Translator's Note

This is a Chinese proverb, the full sentence is: wives are not as good as concubines, concubines are not as good as maidservants, maidservants are not as good as prostitutes, prostitutes are not as good as theft, and theft is not as good as not being able to steal. Means that a man has forsaken his current obligations to chase after other people, or will always want things beyond his reach.

Translator's Note

During traditional Chinese marriage rites, the bride and groom link arms and drink wine together. So Shen Yiqiong is saying that during the master-disciple appreciation ceremony, Lin Zhushui drank his wine; thus, he’s the official wife, and Zhou Jiayu is the concubine.
