Chapter 29: Bestowing a Painting (Part 2)

"Is this painting still beautiful?"

At this moment, Xia Fan had been fiddling with the painting for a while and didn't see any obvious flaws.

But when she looked at the two beautiful women, they had a look of admiration on their faces, standing up straight with their waists held high, and made a teasing remark.

The two women listened.

"Senior's painting... is not just beautiful, it has probably transcended the mundane and is simply the most extraordinary thing Mingyue has ever seen!" Canglan Mingyue said in shock.

"Hehe, you sure know how to praise, but it's true that no one in this world can match my paintings!" Xia Fan also smiled confidently.

His paintings were something he had brought with him from Earth, and after eight years in this world, he had thoroughly studied the music, chess, calligraphy, and painting that he had never wanted to delve into in his previous life. If you added his past life's experience, it would probably be an exaggeration to call him a master of his generation.

So Xia Fan was quite confident.

"By the way, do you have any business coming here this time?" Xia Fan asked the two after thinking for a moment.

Liu Rushuang bowed slightly and said, "Senior, I came this time to inform you that we plan to go to the Shadowfire Forest and would like to seek your opinion."

Shadowfire Forest?

Is it a place with fire?

Why go there? Are they looking for flint?

Well, it seems these people are really persistent.

"If you want to go, then go." Xia Fan waved his hand. Liu Rushuang and the others had their own freedom, and he couldn't keep interfering with their thoughts.

Liu Rushuang smiled happily when she heard this.

Since Senior Xia agreed, she could rest assured.

At this moment, Liu Rushuang thought of something and added, "By the way, Senior, Ru Shuang wants to request one more thing from you. It's about Sister Mingyue. Last time, she didn't mean to make you angry. She has been persecuted by her mother since she was young, and today those people came to rob her and bully her..."

Liu Rushuang said, "I hope Senior won't blame Sister Mingyue anymore. She does have her own difficulties..."

"Sister Ru Shuang..."

Upon hearing Liu Rushuang's words, Canglan Mingyue was taken aback.

Facing the existence of Senior Xia, Liu Rushuang actually took the risk of angering him to speak up for her. Her face was filled with gratitude, and warmth rose in her heart.

Xia Fan's expression became complicated, and he was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that such a beautiful Canglan Mingyue would have such a tragic background!

Her mother was murdered, her things were stolen, and she was bullied!

With such a pitiful background, she must have often experienced hardships and difficulties. No wonder she looked so weak. But how could those people bear to bully such a beautiful woman?

Thinking of this, Xia Fan couldn't help but feel a bit angry.

But the expression of anger also carried a hint of helplessness.

In this world, human life was as insignificant as grass and leaves. He was just an ordinary person, what could he do to help Canglan Mingyue?

Fighting didn't seem to be his expertise.

Thinking of this, Xia Fan shook his head and looked at Er Ha running to the pond to drink water, and at the remaining ink and rice paper on the stone table.

Suddenly, he picked up the brush!

With a touch of ink, it seemed divine!

Slowly outlining, creating continuous images!

Canglan Mingyue and Liu Rushuang watched as Xia Fan's brush seemed like the brush of a great Dao, and Dao Rhyme was actually being rendered on the rice paper.

It was as if a painting immortal was painting.

Infatuated and unable to extricate oneself!

After a moment, Xia Fan dipped his brush in ink and a portrait emerged, using even more effort than his previous one.

Xia Fan put down his brush and turned to Canglan Mingyue, saying, "I don't know what I can do for you in this matter. Since your name is Mingyue, I will give you a painting related to the moon."

"I hope you can open it when you need it!"

After speaking, Xia Fan closed the scroll and handed it to Canglan Mingyue.

Canglan Mingyue was stunned by the gesture.

He... is he giving me a painting?

Liu Rushuang saw Xia Fan's serious expression and pulled Canglan Mingyue, who was lost in thought, saying, "Mingyue, you should thank him quickly..."

Canglan Mingyue snapped back to reality and blushed, taking the scroll from Xia Fan's hand. "Thank you for your gift, Senior..."

Canglan Mingyue's voice was filled with gratitude.

Xia Fan shook his head. "It's nothing, no need to be so polite."

After a while, the two women bid farewell and left.

"What a pitiful girl, I hope I can help her!"

Xia Fan watched the two women's figures and then turned his head, only to find Hua Xiaoling lying in a strange position under another one of his paintings. "Hey, you clown cat, can't you just look at a painting normally?"

Xia Fan said as he picked her up.

Meow~

Hua Xiaoling meowed in Xia Fan's arms, sticking out her tongue, feeling a bit helpless.

Did you think I wanted this? Who would have thought that you, this big star, would create something as terrifying as the previous calligraphy and paintings? If I had known, I would have stayed far away and wouldn't have embarrassed myself.

Hua Xiaoling complained in her mind. She would always stay away from Xia Fan's calligraphy and paintings because they contained a Great Dao and spiritual impact that she couldn't bear at her level. But who knew what she was thinking today? She felt a bit annoyed seeing this annoying owner and these two women, so she ended up suffering under the painting.

...

After leaving Xia Fan's estate.

"Thank you, Ruo Shuang!" Canglan Mingyue looked at the scroll in her hand, her heart filled with excitement and gratitude towards Liu Rushuang.

Liu Rushuang smiled and shook her head. "There's no need for thanks between us sisters. Everything is a gift from our senior."

Canglan Mingyue nodded. "Yes, indeed, it is a gift from our senior."

"I wonder what's inside this painting..." Canglan Mingyue wondered, her heart pounding.

Liu Rushuang said, "Mingyue, do you want to open it and take a look?"

Canglan Mingyue pondered for a moment and shook her head. "No, I'd rather not."

Canglan Mingyue continued, "As Ruo Shuang just mentioned, our senior said to open it when we need it..."

Canglan Mingyue didn't finish her sentence.

Furrowing her brows, Liu Rushuang asked, "Does that mean our senior predicted that there would be danger in our journey to the Secret Realm?"

Canglan Mingyue calmly replied, "I'm not sure either. Our senior wouldn't have mentioned it without reason. We'll find out everything once we reach the Secret Realm."

With that thought, she turned to look at the entrance where the Three Evils were. It seemed that the three plates were already empty.

Seeing this scene, she felt more at ease and the two women walked down the mountain.

After Liu Rushuang and Canglan Mingyue left, looking at their figures.

The white horse from Horse Protection Village clicked its teeth and said, "Although these mortal girls are tasteless, they are quite thoughtful!"

Da Ha nodded. "In that painting, it seems like the master added a Dao appearance similar to Er Ha's, right?"

Black dog Da Ha looked at Er Ha.

Er Ha lazily drooled and glanced at the distant figure, rolling his dog eyes and picking his teeth, too lazy to express anything!
