448 Take on the Duty
Dong Xi had an idea and naturally agreed without hesitation.
“I agree. Father-In-Law, don’t worry. I will ensure Yun’er’s safe return,” said Dong Xi.
Seeing Dong Xi agree, Shangguan Yun’er was instantly stunned. She looked at Dong Xi with an indescribable expression.
Shangguan Patriarch laughed and said, “Very good. As expected of the husband chosen by the heavens for my daughter. He’s responsible!”
Shangguan Patriarch stood up and walked towards Dong Xi.
After walking up to Dong Xi, Shangguan Patriarch waved his hand and a key appeared.
“This key can open half of the doors of the Shangguan Residence,” said Shangguan Patriarch. “The other half depends on your performance.”
When Dong Xi saw the key, she suddenly remembered the wish she had made before.
If she got half of the family business, then then she will destroy all of Shangguan Residence… Isn’t it not too far away?
Seeing that Dong Xi did not take it, Shangguan Patriarch simply placed the key in Dong Xi’s hand. Then, he patted Dong Xi’s arm and left with a smile.
Dong Xi and Shangguan Yun’er were the only ones left in the room. Dong Xi felt a little embarrassed by Shangguan Yun’er’s coquettish gaze. Dong Xi smiled awkwardly and said, “Madam, it’s better for you to keep this.”
Shangguan Yun’er didn’t take it. Dong Xi continued, “The man is outside, the woman is inside.”
Shangguan Yun’er looked at Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun’er’s tone became heavier as she repeated, “The woman is inside?”
Dong Xi was silent for a long time. In the end, she coughed a few times and put away the key. Dong Xi said, “In that case, I’ll keep the key first. If Madam needs it, ask me for it.”
Shangguan Yun’er nodded and said nothing.
Dong Xi, on the other hand, came forward curiously and said, “Furen, have you really stepped into the Dao?”
“I don’t know, but my father said so.” Shangguan Yun’er shook her head.
Dong Xi immediately took Shangguan Yun’er’s pulse, and spiritual energy entered Shangguan Yun’er’s body.
The green wood spiritual energy went all the way to her Dantian and found that there was no change at all. There was not a trace of spiritual energy in her Dantian either.
Dong Xi frowned and used her spiritual energy to walk around Shangguan Yun’er’s body.
In the end, she found a bit of fog in Shangguan Yun’er’s heart.
Misty clouds surrounded Shangguan Yun’er’s wood spirit crystal. Within the spiritual energy, it seemed like an illusory heart was taking shape.
Dong Xi withdrew his hand and raised his head to look into Shangguan Yun’er’s eyes. Dong Xi smiled and said, “Madam, how about drawing one?”
Shangguan Yun’er nodded. Dong Xi walked to the table sensibly. Dong Xi said, “Madam, let me grind the ink for you.”
Shangguan Yun’er raised her brush and started painting. Now, her painting was smoother than before.
Dong Xi saw that Shangguan Yun’er had only used a few strokes and Dong Xi’s head had already appeared on the paper.
Dong Xi could not help but praise in her heart. Regardless of whether it was the later generations or the cultivation world, those who had specialties were all awesome.
Dong Xi looked at Shangguan Yun’er’s drawing of herself. Initially, she did not feel anything, until… Shangguan Yun’er drew her eyes.
Dong Xi looked at herself in the painting and suddenly had a subtle feeling.
Dong Xi secretly transmitted a trace of spiritual energy. The eyes of the person in the painting suddenly moved.
Shangguan Yun’er, who was standing in front of the painting, was startled. She hurriedly took a step back and crashed into Dong Xi’s arms.
Dong Xi was a little shorter than Shangguan Yun’er. She stuck her head out from the side and said, “Madam, don’t panic. I just did a magic trick.”
Seeing Dong Xi’s expression, Shangguan Yun’er guessed that the matter just now should have been done by Dong Xi. Shangguan Yun’er immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Dong Xi injected her spiritual energy into the painting once again. The hands in the painting were put away, and the key in her hand was also put into her pocket. She even took a few steps forward and sat on the chair, crossing her legs.
After Shangguan Yun’er saw it, she said in surprise, “This is… The ability of an art cultivator?”
“That’s not all,” Dong Xi shook her head.
“What else is there?” Shangguan Yun’er asked curiously.
Dong Xi asked Shangguan Yun’er to take out the painting that she had bought from the art gallery. Dong Xi said, “Madam, these two paintings were painted by a painter. Previously, you were a mortal and couldn’t see anything. Now that you’ve stepped into the Dao, look at these two paintings again. Is there any difference?”
Shangguan Yun’er looked at the paintings and suddenly understood. No wonder Dong Xi was willing to spend so many spirit stones to buy these two paintings.
It turned out that these were all drawn by art cultivators.
From the very beginning, Dong Xi had wanted Shangguan Yun’er to comprehend something from the two paintings.
Shangguan Yun’er opened the two paintings one by one. The first one was the painting of a white bird.
Shangguan Yun’er’s current cultivation was still shallow, so she could not see anything at first glance.
However, Dong Xi had said that there was something special about this painting. Shangguan Yun’er calmed down and carefully observed every stroke on the painting, wanting to see something.
