Chapter 135: Great Misunderstanding

  In the bamboo courtyard, in front of the stone table, Pen Fairy Shu Dai had already begun to move his brush, but saw that the heavenly horse was galloping freely, and the painting speed was astonishingly fast, without a single pause.

  The pen in his hand seemed to be able to supply ink infinitely, making Li Meng feel magical. This long and strangely shaped big brush pen didn't seem ordinary at all.

  Soon, a beautiful outline appeared on the paper, with smooth lines and even ink. Li Mang, who had been worried about Shu's careless painting, felt slightly relieved and waited quietly.

  Shu Dai was very focused, ignoring the commotion around her, her eyes fixed intently on the painting paper, while her hand holding the brush continued to dance and flutter about, performing a magnificent dance.

  In an instant, a woman wearing a flowing long skirt appeared in the painting, with a beautiful and moving figure. However, since her eyes had not been painted yet, this painting still lacked spirit.

  Since putting down his pen, Shu Dai stopped for the first time and stared at the eyeless woman in the painting, with some hesitation in his eyes.

  At this point, Li Mang seemed to have noticed something unusual. Judging from the speed at which Shudai painted the Snow Goddess, Shudai appeared to be extremely familiar with the Snow Goddess, and it was highly likely that she had already painted her before. The initial hesitation, and now another hesitation, seemed unwilling to give the Snow Goddess painting to Li Mang, there must be some ulterior motive behind this.

  Could it be that this Xian Shu's substitute also has that meaning for the Snow God?

  Li Mang raised an eyebrow. This was someone else's business, and he really couldn't intervene, but this painting had no eyes, which was a fatal flaw. Looking at it, let alone a beauty, it didn't even look like a person. He pretended to be impatient and urged: "Shu Dai, why have you stopped?"

  "Oh, it's almost done." Shu Dai's cheeks flushed slightly as he continued to move his brush, carefully drawing the eyes of the painting, the willow-leaf eyebrows, and the phoenix-like gaze that was slightly raised. The beauty in the painting seemed to gain some nobility and cold elegance without any deliberate effort. Finally, it was the eyeballs, which he drew with great care, including the faintly visible arc lines of the pupils.

  "Hum!"

  The moment the "Snow God" took shape, a gust of wind suddenly appeared, gently lifting the painting paper. At the same time, an invisible chill emanated from the "Snow God", instantly lowering the temperature in the surrounding area by several degrees. Li Mang couldn't help but shiver with cold.

  They say that the finishing touch is what makes a painting, and Li Meng finally got to see it with his own eyes. Although the Snow Goddess in the painting didn't come to life, she seemed almost lifelike, especially her temperament, which was perfectly captured in the portrait, truly breathtaking.

  Afraid that he would regret it, Li Meng immediately rolled up the Snow God Chart with care and exclaimed in admiration: "Awesome, awesome, admirable, admirable, respectful, respectful, worthy of being a Pen Fairy."

  "Notify me after the courtyard is built." Shu Dai didn't stay any longer, shouldering the bamboo basket on the ground and turning to leave. He came for the courtyard, now that his goal was achieved, why would he linger?

  After seeing off Shu Dai, Li Miao returned to the house and casually hung the Snow God painting on the wall of the small hall. He couldn't help but admire it repeatedly, exclaiming in surprise. It's really unimaginable that a water-ink painting can reach such a realm. The painting is beautiful, and the person is even more beautiful. This masterpiece indeed deserves to be placed in a first-rate courtyard.

  Like the Ghost Lake's spiritual eye, this painting can no longer be measured by the mundane world's money, its collection value is even higher. Without saying more, having such a beautiful woman's picture hanging in the living room or study is more pleasing to the eye than anything else, it's simply high-end, elegant and of high quality!

  It's fine to hang it in the bedroom, and if someone misunderstands, so be it. However, the chill on the 'Snow God' is unbearable. It would be okay on a hot day, but unfortunately, the Huangdi Secret Institute is warm in winter and cool in summer, so air conditioning is not needed at all.

  "Knock, knock!" At this time, a light knocking sound came from outside.

  "Who?" Li Mang asked in a loud and strange voice. It was already deep into the night, wasn't it? The child would never dare to disturb him at this hour.

  "It's me." A cold female voice entered Li Meng's ears, yet crisp and moving.

  “…the Snow Goddess?” Li Meng was suddenly shocked, but didn't dare to be slow, hastily ran out of the house, and indeed saw a woman in white dress, the Snow Goddess, standing beautifully in front of the courtyard gate, feeling like a beautiful ice mountain, exactly the same as in the painting.

  What made Li Meng even more surprised was that behind the Snow God, there was also Zhu Bajie. This Eighth Brother stood solemnly at the back and when he found Li Meng casting strange glances at him, he explained with embarrassment: "Junior brother, I just happened to be coming over to find you and fortunately met the Snow God."

  It was actually a coincidence that he saw Snow God passing by in the courtyard and followed him, but this couldn't be said in front of Snow God.

  Li Mang looked at him with a mixture of trust and doubt, but it wasn't the right time to ask questions. He turned to Xue Shen instead and asked, "Xue Shen, what brings you here?"

  "Wouldn't you like to come in and take a walk?" The Snow Goddess spat out... ice. Indeed, it was ice, her body was a natural ice cave, the air she breathed out was cold and stern, but amidst the coldness, there was a faint fragrance, a scent from nature itself.

  However, her words shocked Li Meng.

  The Eight Precepts behind him had been smiling all the time, but after hearing this, his smile stiffened, and his eyes flickered back and forth between Li Meng and the Snow Goddess.

  The Snow God, Xue Shen, was born with a surname that meant "cold ice", and he was indeed cold and icy to both men and women. He rarely had any activities, but now he actually took the initiative to enter a man's house, still in the middle of the night... This was unthinkable. To be fair, there was a third person present now, but he had only joined later. Imagine if he hadn't followed, the Snow God would have entered a man's house at midnight, and it would have been hard not to let one's imagination run wild... Unthinkable.

  Li Meng's eyes were also flickering, but he didn't have any other thoughts. However, the living room wall still had "The Snow God Picture" hanging on it, and if he took her in now, she would naturally be seen, which might lead to some misunderstanding, and it was a bit inappropriate. So, facing Xue Shen's inquiry, he couldn't help but hesitate, and delayed giving an answer.

  "What's wrong, isn't it convenient?" The Snow God raised an eyebrow and asked, with a chill that was even more severe. Other men were deliberately trying to please her, but this Li Meng didn't even let her in the door. Either there was some unspeakable secret or...or it was incest.

  And Bajie looked at him again, his eyes also somewhat unkind. If it were another man, the Snow God wanting to enter his house would be an absolute honor, and he wouldn't be surprised. But this younger brother was good, his first reaction wasn't excitement, but rather hesitation, which drove him crazy.

  "How could this be, that the Snow God would condescend to visit my humble abode? It's simply an honor beyond measure. I'm just too overwhelmed with joy." Li Mang bluntly stepped aside after a round of flattering words.

  Three people walked in silence, passing through the bamboo forest and finally arriving inside the house. As soon as they entered, the Snow Goddess stopped in her tracks, her beautiful but icy eyes fixed on a portrait on the wall. In just an instant, the chill emanating from her body intensified, causing Li Mang to shiver.

  Behind him, Zhu Bajie was also growing his mouth, infinitely comical staring at the "Snow God Picture" on the wall. He finally understood why his younger brother didn't dare to let the Snow God enter the house. It turned out that everything was because of this painting, everything was because he had a guilty conscience. What he said about not being interested in the Snow God was all pretence, this was clearly a case of "desiring to capture by pretending to release"!

  If Li Meng said he had no feelings for the Snow Goddess at this time, Zhu Bajie would not believe anything else. Otherwise, what's the point of hanging someone's portrait in the hall? The fat on Zhu Bajie's face twitched, staring fiercely at Li, if it weren't for the Snow Goddess not being there, he might have already lost his temper and taken action. Originally, he thought this younger brother was honest, but now it seemed that wasn't the case, simply despicable and deceitful... deceiving people too much, where did he get such a painting from?

  Li Meng helplessly shrugged his shoulders, initially feeling a bit awkward, but gradually got used to it and took on an attitude of "a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water", so let the storm come even stronger!
