Chapter 2446 - 2446 Painting a Portrait of Him
2446 Painting a Portrait of Him
She’s actually smiling?!?!
As Su Zimo was narrating, he inadvertently glanced at Mo Qing’s elegant and refined face from the corner of his eye in surprise.
Blinking, he looked up and realized that Mo Qing was sitting there with an indifferent expression, as though the smile on her lips earlier on was just his imagination.
Su Zimo did not think too much about it.
After all, there was indeed nothing laughable about the battle in Langfeng City.
Furthermore, Senior Sister Mo Qing was immersed in the Dao of painting and had a calm personality. She was pure with few desires, rarely revealing any semblance of emotions.
Why would she smile because of a huge battle in the Jade Firmament Immortal Domain?
“When I saw that the situation was bad, I ran back in advance. I heard that Desolate Martial escaped unscathed later on as well.”
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief and finally finished recounting the matter.
Mo Qing lowered her head slightly and asked, “Did Desolate Martial contact you later on?”
“No.”
Su Zimo shrugged his shoulders gently.
He was not lying about that. The Martial Dao Prime Body had not taken the initiative to contact him after entering Avici.
He had too many things on his side and couldn’t care less about the Martial Dao Prime Body.
Mo Qing sat quietly in silence for a long time in deep thought.
Su Zimo could not chase Mo Qing out either and could only sit by the side in confusion.
After a long time, Mo Qing suddenly turned around and looked at Su Zimo, asking hesitantly, “Junior Brother Su, d-do you know what Fellow Daoist Desolate Martial looks like?”
Su Zimo felt guilty and did not know how to reply.
No matter how he thought about it, the only way he could bluff his way through was to pretend that he did not know.
Just as Su Zimo was about to make up a casual excuse, he raised his head and met Mo Qing’s eyes.
Those eyes were clear as water, pure and moving, as though they were the most beautiful painting in the world.
Looking at those eyes, Su Zimo could not bring himself to lie.
Avoiding Mo Qing’s gaze, he reached out and picked up a cup of fragrant tea at the side to hide his emotions. “Senior sister, why are you curious about Desolate Martial’s appearance?”
Mo Qing said, “I want to paint a portrait of him.”
“Cough, cough!”
Su Zimo had just taken a sip of tea. When he heard that, he choked and blushed.
Mo Qing had a calm expression and explained in an indifferent tone, “It’s because Fellow Daoist Desolate Martial saved me before. I don’t have anything to repay him and can only give him a painting as a token of my appreciation.”
“I see.”
Su Zimo composed himself and lamented internally, “I was thinking too much.”
He coughed gently. “Senior sister, you can just find a random painting to give him. Every single painting of yours is a treasure of the world.”
“How can that do?”
Mo Qing shook her head and said seriously, “If I’m only giving him a painting, I naturally have to express my sincerity. How can I be so casual about it?”
Su Zimo said, “Senior sister, you can just do a new painting. Why are you asking about Desolate Martial’s appearance?”
“I want to draw Desolate Martial himself.”
Mo Qing blurted.
“A portrait painting?”
Su Zimo’s eyes widened as he looked at Mo Qing in shock. Instinctively, he asked, “Senior sister, d-didn’t you say you never draw portraits?”
At the mention of that, Mo Qing lowered her head slightly and avoided Su Zimo’s gaze, saying softly, “Because I obtained the Divine Ghost Immortal Fiend Diagram and had a new comprehension of the Dao of painting, I wanted to try and draw a portrait.”
Su Zimo was stunned on the spot and his mind was in chaos.
No matter how oblivious he was, he understood at this moment why Senior Sister Mo Qing would come to his cave abode twice to ask about the Martial Dao Prime Body…
“It’s fine if you don’t want to tell me. I’ll head back first.”
Suddenly, Mo Qing stood up and walked out of the cave abode.
Su Zimo stood up hurriedly as well and sent Senior Sister Mo Qing out the door.
He only felt relieved after Senior Sister Mo Qing disappeared from his line of sight.
But soon, he felt a headache.
It couldn’t be, right…?
What was this?
For a moment, Su Zimo did not know how to deal with this matter.
Under normal circumstances, the simplest solution was to lay his cards on the table with Mo Qing—tell her that he was Desolate Martial.
If Senior Sister Mo Qing knew that he was Desolate Martial, she would most likely look down on him and give up immediately.
However, the Martial Dao Prime Body was his secret and greatest trump card.
He did not want to expose it too early.
After pondering for a long time, Su Zimo could only choose to delay for the time being.
In any case, the Martial Dao Prime Body and Mo Qing were worlds apart and could not get together.
In the future, he would cultivate in seclusion in the academy and hide from Senior Sister Mo Qing.
As time passed, Senior Sister Mo Qing would probably forget about this matter.
Right then, the Martial Dao Prime Body suddenly sensed something.
The Martial Dao Prime Body arrived at Avici and made use of the living beings of Hell inside. Before long, he killed the Immortal King that was chasing after him.
Thereafter, the Martial Dao Prime Body did not linger in Avici and returned to Tianhuang Sect directly.
This time round, the Martial Dao Prime Body had benefited quite a bit as well. Notwithstanding the storage bag of an Immortal King, there were also thousands of Dao Fruits!
Every Dao Fruit contained the Dharmic Dao of a Perfected Immortal and was extremely precious.
This was a gain that countless Perfected Immortals would fight for in the cultivation world!
In order to refine the True Martial Dao Body and continue comprehending the Martial Dao Dharmic formulation, the number of Dao Fruits required by the Martial Dao Prime Body was unimaginable!
The reason why the Martial Dao Prime Body summoned the Green Lotus True Body this time round was because of something else.
A thousand years ago, news of Feng Cantian entering the Grotto-heaven realm and being conferred the title of Immortal King Heavenly Wrath had long spread to the Nine Firmament Immortal Domain.
However, after so long, there was still no news of Perfected Immortal Burial Night and Feng Ziyi. The two of them did not rush to the Fiend Domain to meet Feng Cantian either.
Perfected Immortal Burial Night was an old friend of Feng Cantian’s from his generation in Tianhuang Mainland. Feng Ziyi was Feng Cantian’s granddaughter and his only kin in this world.
Feng Cantian was worried and even headed to the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain to search.
However, the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain was vast and boundless. If Feng Cantian searched bit by bit, it would be equivalent to searching for a needle in a haystack.
Because he released his spirit consciousness as an Immortal King to search, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom was drawn to him before long and a few Supreme Immortal Kings even joined forces to hunt him down!
Feng Cantian had just formed his Grotto-heaven and was not a match for the many Immortal Kings. Helpless, he could only retreat to the Fiend Domain.
It was inconvenient for Feng Cantian to do anything in the Divine Firmament Immortal Domain. Therefore, he wanted Su Zimo, who was a disciple of the academy, to find out more about news of Perfected Immortal Burial Night and Feng Ziyi.
When he received the news before his cave abode, Su Zimo remained silent.
This was indeed a huge matter!
Under normal circumstances, if Perfected Immortal Burial Night and Feng Ziyi were fine and heard that Feng Cantian had already established himself in the Fiend Domain, they would definitely head there.
However, there was no news of the two of them for a thousand years.
Su Zimo recalled something. Back when the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom wanted to hunt him down, they also launched a frenzied encirclement and suppression of Remnant Night, the organization established by Perfected Immortal Burial Night!
The leader was Prince Yuan Zuo.
Even if Perfected Immortal Burial Night and Feng Ziyi were still alive, their situation over the years must have been extremely bad!
Right now, the only possibility was that Perfected Immortal Burial Night and Feng Ziyi were not in the hands of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom.
Otherwise, the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom would definitely use the two of them to threaten Feng Cantian!
