Mythical Scroll Artist: Starting with the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming

Chapter 297 Wang Zhi's Dao Heart Collapses

“I see,” Miao Youyou said, “But speaking of which, how does Senior Wang intend to lure that kid out?”

"Don't worry, I have a brilliant plan." Wang Zhi smiled confidently.

With that old bastard Cui Wenxuan around, he naturally couldn't make a move directly in Yaoyang City.

They had already come prepared with a plan.

With the rat infestation so severe, farms in Yaoyang City must be greatly affected.

Therefore, before coming here, he had already asked several major grain merchants to contact Chen Shilong and specifically requested that Wu Xian be authorized to create the Rat Extermination Scroll.

Little did they know, Chen Shilong merely exchanged a few polite words with the major grain merchants and didn't take it seriously at all.

After all, the mayor's mind is currently preoccupied with the Evil God Scroll Master and the crisis in Yaoyang City.

……

On Wu Xian and Tang Tiaotiao's side.

The moment I stepped into the mechanical dimensional control zone, I immediately sensed it through the power of the Night Wanderer.

Although he couldn't directly access the vision of the Night Wanderer's divided soul, he could sense the aura and location of other Night Wanderer's divided souls because he held the copyright to the Night Wanderer's divine image.

What's more, he now has Xiao Di Zi as his divine assistant.

"Those two, right?" Xiao Dizi quickly pinpointed their exact location. "The cats and dogs kept by the upper class look delicious."

As a former powerful demon from the Ghost Realm, Xiao Di Zi also harbors resentment towards the upper echelons.

"Wow~ This jade scroll can talk?"

Jump Sister was quite shocked by Xiao Dizi. She stared at Xiao Dizi for a while and didn't forget to reach out and pat the dog's head.

"What are you doing, little girl? I am..."

Just as Xiao Dizi was about to complain, Wu Xian interrupted her in a deep voice, "How dare you talk to Sister Tiao like that? Come on~ shake hands with Sister Tiao."

"Damn it, are you trying to teach me how to do things?" Xiao Dizi couldn't help but grin.

But her body was completely out of her control. Driven directly by Wu Xian's will, she raised her paw in a cute and endearing manner and wagged her tail for Sister Tiao.

"Ahhh—a complete disgrace, an utterly disgrace!"

"Please listen to what kind of person our Sister Jump is," Wu Xian said irritably.

Although Xiao Dizi was somewhat puzzled, he still used the power of Di Ting to listen to the human girl next to him.

Sensing the powerful aura emanating from Sister Jump, Xiao Dizi immediately shut up obediently.

In short: It's not shameful to be a lackey for a big shot like this.

I never expected that such a strange existence would appear in the human world.

"This little puppy has quite a personality," said Sister Tiao, enthusiastically teasing the dog.

Upon learning the special origin of Xiao Dizi's consciousness, they were even more astonished.

"So, you were previously a subordinate of that Abyss Demon Lord?" Jump Sister asked curiously.

“That’s right.” Xiao Dizi proudly raised his head.

"I heard from them that the current true god is quite powerful. I wonder how many world-destroying divine lights he can withstand?" Jump Sister said seriously, not at all like she was joking.

"World-destroying divine light?" Xiao Dizi was completely bewildered.

Wu Xian waved his hand and smiled, indicating to Xiao Dizi not to take it to heart.

All I can say is that Jump Sister is still Jump Sister; her thinking is always so unique.

"Are we almost there?" Sensing that Wang Zhi and the other man were getting closer, Wu Xian said seriously, "Prepare for battle. You'll be the main force in this fight!"

“No problem, I’d like to try the taste of that higher power myself.” Xiao Di Zi said with great interest.

During the previous battle in the Insect Realm, Xiao Di Zi had already reached the sixth star level.

I just killed off the mechanical monsters along the way and also upgraded Xiao Dizi to six and a half stars.

【The Divine Dog of the Underworld - Di Ting】

Version: Original (with gold embroidered border)

Rank: Jade Scroll; Spirit of the Painting: ★★★★★★☆
Spirituality: 177
Innate Traits: World Honored One Ksitigarbha, Hell Ears, Nine Auras Protection

The combat power of the Six-and-a-Half-Star Jade Scroll is beyond doubt.

In his view, even if Wang Zhi activated the power of the Fallen God at the upper level, Xiao Dizi would still have the strength to fight back.

What's more, he also has the "cheat code" of his own natal God of Wealth.

Soon after, the two sides met in the mechanical dimension control zone.

Wang Zhi and Miao Youyou also sensed Wu Xian's presence in advance.

"Huh? This isn't the reserved location, and the time is off too," Wang Zhi said with a strange expression. "There's a young girl with him too. Oh, I see. Looks like this kid has connections with the higher-ups!"

After confirming that there was no trace of that old bastard Cui Wenxuan around, nor any ambushes or anything like that, Wang Zhi's lips curled into a cold smile.

"That kid?" Miao Youyou teased curiously, "He's quite handsome."

As they were talking, Wu Xian had already arrived on his sword.

"Hey~ isn't this Chairman Wang? What a small world!" Wu Xian said sarcastically as he approached.

When Wang Zhi saw that Wu Xian had actually come over on his own initiative, he was quite surprised.

Miao Youyou, standing to the side, was the first to notice something was wrong. "Jade scroll, this person actually has a jade scroll?!"

"Jade Scroll... Divine Dog?!"

Only then did Wang Zhi notice Xiao Dizi next to Wu Xian, who looked utterly bewildered.

You know, that's a jade scroll!

It's not that they lack the ability to make jade scrolls, but rather that the process of making jade scrolls is too demanding.

The idea behind drawing the scroll needs to have a certain similarity to the [Divine Power Fragment]. The higher the similarity, the higher the success rate.

Every scroll artist who possesses a jade scroll is someone who has cultivated their expertise in their field for many years.

But how old is Wu Xian? He's already managed to create a jade scroll?

Is this reasonable?

Even more outrageous is that the jade scroll is actually a divine dog in the shape of a dog.

If the master sees this, will he still have any "favor" left?
In an instant, shock, disbelief, jealousy, and worry—a complex mix of emotions welled up in Wang Zhi's heart, and jealousy made him unrecognizable.

"This...this...how is this possible?" Wang Zhi exclaimed in disbelief, his voice trembling. "How...how could you possibly have drawn such a divine dog?"

Then, the Jade Scroll Divine Dog cast a mocking glance at him, "You're a dog, but I'm not!"

"It has sentience?!" Miao Youyou's pupils contracted.

For a moment, she even suspected that Wu Xian was a noble upper-class person.

Fortunately, Wu Xian and the Jade Scroll Divine Dog did not possess the unique aura of the "upper class".

On the other hand, Wang Zhi appeared to be in a state of complete collapse of his Daoist heart.

"A divine dog scroll possessing sentience?! How is that possible?!"

He always believed that he was the best dog scroll artist in the lower world, and that he would be his master's most beloved dog in the future.

But at this moment, all his pride was completely crushed.

If the master ever sees such a jade scroll-shaped divine dog, it will immediately be banished to the cold palace, never to be redeemed again.

Take a deep breath and calm down.

Wang Zhi's eyes were already filled with murderous intent.

Such an excellent "dog" cannot exist in the world, absolutely not!
In contrast, Miao Youyou was noticeably calmer than him, since the Jade Scroll Divine Dog was not on the same track as her and posed no threat to her.

With her eyes slightly narrowed, she carefully examined Wu Xian, the young scroll painter, seemingly lost in thought.

"So you're that old dog Wang?" Jump Sister glared at Wang Zhi with disdain and mocked, "I heard your whole family are dogs trained by the upper class. Come on~ bark a couple of times for Jump Master~!"

And that slutty, cheap woman next to her, instead of being a decent person, she prefers to be a dog for the upper class? Oh right~ you're the cat.
