Fairies, please don't talk to me about love

He is considered a malleable person. If he continues to remain silent, she will have to discuss with Sikong Yunshao and Huang Fusu whether to let him give up.

"That's right. Everything here is illusory. Everything you see is also illusory. Can you guarantee that the 'Zhang Ruyi' you saw is really 'Zhang Ruyi'? Is there a possibility that she was drawn by me?"

They walked back to the dilapidated courtyard together, where Jiang Xue drew a stone table and placed a piece of white paper and an ink brush.

"Now Zhang Ruyi is right in front of you, can you draw her?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Ruyi appeared in front of Ye Lingtian.

"Yelang! And Senior Jiang Xue... Why did I suddenly appear here?"

"Don't worry about it. Your Yelang will soon paint your portrait again. Stand still and don't move."

Upon hearing that his Yelang wanted to redraw him, Zhang Ruyi immediately perked up and stood still.

This time, Ye Lingtian did not look at Zhang Ruyi again when he started to paint. Instead, he drew the image of Zhang Ruyi in his mind based on his own impression.

----

"Okay, you have a good understanding. Congratulations."

With just a little guidance, Ye Lingtian was able to achieve this level. No wonder Feng Xian chose to accept him as her disciple.

His progress in painting is so rapid, and his swordsmanship is probably far superior to his peers.

"Senior Jiang Xue, I understand what you mean."

No wonder he noticed that Zhang Ruyi was no longer looking at him from behind when he was painting before.

"I understand. You two can go out. I'll be waiting for you two outside."

"Ah? This... is true?"

"Yelang!"

Zhang Ruyi saw that Ye Lingtian didn't recognize her and puffed up her cheeks to hug him.

"Of course I am real, can't you see?"

When leaving the scroll, Ye Lingtian noticed a hidden smile on Hua Jiangxue's face.

This woman was really scary. She completely played him around.

Could it be that this painting of Jiang Xue is also real? Not just a shadow of a painting?

Chapter 87: The lonely shadow

"Senior Jiang Xue, are you in that painting really just an imaginary person in your painting?"

This was the first question Ye Lingtian asked when he saw Hua Jiangxue after walking out of the scroll.

He always felt that the painting of Jiang Xue in it was really a living person...

After hearing this question, Hua Jiangxue answered Ye Lingtian very honestly. After all, this was not really a secret.

"Yes, they are just avatars I drew and can only survive in the painting."

"It's amazing that he can do this after becoming powerful enough."

After hearing this, Hua Jiangxue just smiled slightly. It was normal for people of their age to feel novel about such things.

"Senior Jiang Xue, where will Ye Lang and I stay tonight?"

Hua Jiangxue turned her gaze to Zhang Ruyi again, and continued speaking in response to her question:

"This hut can only accommodate one person, so one of you must sleep on the grass outside tonight. Make your choice."

"No need! Yelang and I can just sleep in a small bed!"

Hua Jiangxue frowned slightly. The bed in this thatched hut was so small, how could it possibly accommodate two people?

She couldn't even imagine what it would be like for these two to sleep together.

"Then I'll have to take a good look at how you guys are going to sleep."

......

Hua Jiangxue always felt like she was being fed something that was not meant to be eaten by humans.

She had been single until now, where had she seen anything like this? Sleeping together, one on top of the other.

It's simply unimaginable.

After walking out of the hut, she entered the scroll where Sikong Yunshao and the others were and reported today's results to them.

Both of them are very good, one has a certain foundation, and the other has a very high level of understanding.

Since they just want to learn some basic skills to keep themselves connected, they will probably be able to become masters soon.

"Although the master is very bad, his learning ability is indeed very strong."

It is no exaggeration to say that if he had the same talent for cultivation as his sister, Ye Lingtian would definitely become the second strongest human after the First Emperor.

"I heard that he is Fengxian's apprentice, so his swordsmanship should be very powerful, right? Can you tell me about it first... I'm a little looking forward to it."

Hua Jiangxue was indeed looking forward to it. After all, even she admired Feng Xian very much, so her disciple definitely could not be an ordinary person.

"Of course. So, is this you?"

"Yes, it's rude to always use the shadow of the painting to see so many people."

----

"Senior Jiang Xue, is this really okay?"

Not long after Ye Lingtian fell asleep, he was inexplicably pulled into the painting of the dilapidated courtyard and saw the shadow of Hua Jiangxue's painting.

Although he knew that the shadow in the painting was not Hua Jiangxue herself, and was only a person in the painting who possessed some of Hua Jiangxue's memories and abilities, Ye Lingtian still respected her.

"Learning is a never-ending process. Do you understand? You are full of energy now, so you should spend more time studying hard. After all, you won't die if you don't sleep for a day."

"That's true. Why don't you bring Zhang Ruyi in as well?"

"She...let's talk about it tomorrow."

After Hua Jiangxue finished speaking, she pulled Ye Lingtian out of the courtyard and saw the prosperous Zhongzhou at night.

The wonder of this scroll once again refreshed Ye Lingtian's horizons. It turns out that there is a distinction between Chen and Ye in this scroll?

"You seem surprised."

"Yes, Senior, how did you manage to make a fixed painting have the same scenery as reality?"

Hua Jiangxue walked in front of Ye Lingtian and answered slowly:

"It's very simple. Just keep painting day and night."

"?"

"This world was expanded by me. Everything you see outside the courtyard was drawn by me one stroke at a time."

Hua Jiangxue said as she took out her paintbrush and demonstrated to Ye Lingtian:

"See the moon over there? I can make this world bright again with just one stroke."

As soon as they finished speaking, the moon hanging in the sky suddenly burst out with strong light, illuminating the earth in the picture, and the people around them naturally began their noon work.

"You said before that everything here is illusory. Then is you who drew this world also illusory?"

Hua Jiangxue handed the paintbrush to Ye Lingtian and confirmed his question.

"Yes, I am just a shadow in a painting..."

The loneliness in her eyes was fleeting, but was captured by the careful Ye Lingtian.

"If I am not mistaken, you should only know what this imperial city looks like, right?"

"Well, when I was created I was only given the memory of this place."

After answering the last question, Hua Jiangxue stopped talking and turned around to take Ye Lingtian to appreciate the scenery of the imperial city.

"So beautiful~"

She sighed as she looked at the Zhongzhou Imperial City, which she had seen millions of times.

Chapter 88: The Best Scene in Life

After following Hua Jiangxue on a tour around the imperial city, they finally returned to the dilapidated courtyard.

"Okay, leisure time is over, now it's time to study."

She took out a piece of white paper and slapped it on the stone table where she had drawn last time, then signaled Ye Lingtian to start drawing the object she specified on it.

This time, she asked him to paint the scenery he thought was the most beautiful.

Everyone has a different definition of the most beautiful scenery, but what is certain is that the location of that scenery must have great significance to that person.

So what is the most beautiful scenery for Ye Lingtian?

“The most beautiful scenery...”

"Just follow your heart. There's no need to deliberately paint something superficial just to please me."

Ye Lingtian has seen so many beautiful scenes in his short sixty years of life. Whether it was the old swordsman sitting on the bow of a boat and fishing quietly when he was young in his previous life, or the half of the scenery of Qianzhou that he saw when he first climbed Mount Kunlun in this life, they were all unforgettable to him.

In fact, in the end, what matters most is not the scenery, but the people.

The reason why he remembered the scene of the old swordsman fishing so clearly was because the old swordsman would die after sunset, and the same was true when he climbed Mount Kunlun. At that time, the first thing he saw was actually the Xuanfeng running towards him rather than half of the scenery of Qianzhou.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingtian directly picked up the pen that Hua Jiangxue had given him earlier and started drawing on the white paper.

"A burnt-out house, a long-dead woman, a howling baby girl... and a wandering swordsman."

Hua Jiangxue calmly told everything that Ye Lingtian had drawn.

The scenery doesn't seem beautiful.

"Interesting. If there is still time, I will definitely ask you to come in again and tell me the story behind this painting."

"What do you mean, senior?"

"It's already daylight outside."

----

----

----

"Yelang, you got up so early..."

Zhang Ruyi rubbed his hazy eyes and saw Ye Lingtian's current condition clearly.

He was so alert now that it was as if he had not slept at all.

"Well, I saw you were sleeping so soundly that I didn't call you."

“Am I really that heavy?”

Zhang Ruyi rubbed her belly which had no fat at all, and then murmured softly:

'You can't eat so much in the future.'

"No, Ruyi works hard every day. Even if there is extra flesh, it has grown where it should grow, right?"

"Yelang's mouth is so sweet! I want to taste it, okay~~I can't have a baby anyway."

Ye Lingtian agreed to Zhang Ruyi's request, stood up and kissed her actively. This kiss killed Zhang Ruyi.

She was just joking!

Just when the two were in a stalemate, Hua Jiangxue opened the door of the thatched cottage and greeted softly:

"Watch your words and actions - don't go too far here. I'll wait for you outside."

......

"So fast?"

Hua Jiangxue glanced at Ye Lingtian, then fixed her gaze on Zhang Ruyi who was a little dizzy.

"Get your state of mind right. Sigh, you are so young and yet you are already obsessed with this kind of thing... Today I need you to draw the most beautiful scenery you think, and it must be completed before noon."
