Chapter 128 Clouds 8: The painting depicts her.
Lying back in bed, Wen Li couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did; she felt inexplicably irritable.
It was one thing before, but now he actually dares to look at the future Jiang the Great Hero with such eyes!
Damn it, she should have just grabbed that bastard Li Youqian and given him a good beating! Now she's seething with anger!
After tossing and turning several times, Wen Li finally couldn't take it anymore and sat up in one breath.
No, I need to find something to do.
"Si Xiaxia, get out here! Get out here!"
"Coming! Coming! What's wrong, host? Aren't you going to sleep?"
Wen Li said irritably, "Didn't you say before that you were invited for tea? What happened? Did they give you a hard time?"
Si Xiaxia was touched when Wen Li asked about her situation.
The host is worried about her! Waaaaah...
"Host~"
"speak nicely!"
"Oh. It's because the protagonist's corruption level has been stuck at 99% for too long. After all, the protagonist is the center of this world and will eventually gain world-destroying power. This corruption level is too dangerous, and the risk of world destruction is too great, so it seems that the higher-ups are questioning my abilities a little."
Towards the end, Si Xiaxia's tone sounded very aggrieved.
"How dare you question your abilities?"
Si Xiaxia was just feeling a little touched when she heard Wen Li's second half of the sentence.
Anyone with a brain knows you're completely incompetent! What does the mission failure have to do with you?
"Yes! I was originally in charge of two novel worlds, but the other one failed. If this one fails too, I might never be able to be a system again, and I'll be fined. Host, I really love being a system. I worked so hard to become a system, and you know, money is very important to me, sob sob..."
"Si Xiaxia, if I don't just tell him directly that this world is a book, I feel like he'll find out sooner or later."
Si Xiaxia was a little uneasy: "Huh? But who knows if he'll suddenly go crazy? We can't possibly guess his reaction. The protagonist's thought process is completely beyond our comprehension! Host..."
Wen Li glanced at the sky, then suddenly got up, put on her shoes, and got out of bed.
"Host, why are you up?"
"What for? To protect your wallet."
"No, host, I didn't tell you to go now! What can you do now? Besides, going so late doesn't seem like a good idea, does it? What if everyone's asleep?"
"Shut up."
The houses here aren't very big, and none of the people are wealthy. There are only a few spare bedrooms in the whole village, so they live separately.
The woman was staying at Li Youqian's house. There were two empty rooms in his house, which Li Youqian was said to have prepared for his future son and daughter.
This time, Wen Mingzhu was very sensible and took the initiative to ask to sleep with Aunt Song, while Wen Li had a room by herself.
It seems that Shen Yingsi and the others are staying at the village chief's house, but which room is he staying in?
Wen Li was still thinking, but she guessed it as soon as she arrived at the village chief's house.
At this hour, Shen Yingsi's room is probably the only one in the whole village still lit up.
"Host, the doors and windows are all closed, what should we do?"
"How to do?"
Wen Li thought for a moment and walked back to Li Youqian's backyard to pick up the sleeping Second Master.
As soon as Second Master was held in someone's arms, he opened his eyes and barked twice before Wen Li covered his mouth.
"Second Master, be quiet."
After Wen Li finished speaking, Second Master indeed stopped shouting, but stuck out his tongue and stared at Wen Li without blinking.
Wen Li led the Second Master to Shen Yingsi's window, squatted down and instructed, "How about you sleep in the same room as the Crown Prince tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Second Master wagged his tail even more enthusiastically.
Wen Li stood at the corner, took out her Spirit-Dispelling Robe, cast a spell, and the ghost talisman burned out. Wen Li's figure disappeared into the darkness.
"Woof woof woof... woof woof..."
Second Master started barking and began banging on the wall in front of him.
As soon as Shen Yingsi entered the room, he began to fight against the demonic poison in his body; it was almost the beginning of the month again.
After finally suppressing the demonic poison, I changed my clothes and was about to go to sleep when I heard a dog barking by the window.
Second Master?
Shen Yingsi walked quickly to the window, opened it, and looked down. Sure enough, it was Second Master.
When Second Master saw Shen Yingsi, he stuck out his tongue, wagged his tail, and his eyes shone like stars.
Shen Yingsi jumped out of the window, squatted down and was about to pick up the Second Master when Wen Li suddenly appeared, then swaggered past him and jumped into his room.
Wang Wang Wang!
The Second Master's shout brought Shen Yingsi's attention back to reality. He immediately realized that Wen Li must be invisible now.
Shen Yingsi smiled, picked up the Second Master and stood up, teasingly saying, "Missed me? You dare to come out so late."
Shen Yingsi jumped into the room with one hand on the window. Before he had taken more than two steps, he caught sight of a small foot stretched out next to his leg.
Shen Yingsi suppressed the smile on his lips and inexplicably tripped over something.
"oops!"
Shen Yingsi knelt down on one knee. He looked back and pretended to scan the surroundings, while the culprit standing behind him covered his mouth, trying hard to suppress his laughter.
Si Xiaxia stared wide-eyed, somewhat incredulous: "Host, what are you doing? What are you doing?"
Shen Yingsi slowly got up, dusted himself off, and said to the Second Master in his arms, "It was my fault. I didn't scare you, did I?"
Wen Li stopped smiling and looked at the man in front of her who was calmly comforting the Second Master.
"This level of tolerance is not bad. No one smashed anything or swore at anyone."
"what?"
Wen Li ignored Si Xiaxia and looked around the room.
This is probably the best room in the whole village.
The bed was not only cleaner and sturdier than hers, but also more than twice the size. Of course, the room itself was three or four times the size of hers. There was also a desk, dining table, chairs, cabinets, and even vases and a screen.
Although the colors and styles of these things don't quite match, it's still a decent place to live.
What Wen Li didn't know was that the furnishings in this room were all borrowed and pieced together by the entire village.
Shen Yingsi took a cotton quilt from the cabinet and spread it on the desk, then placed the Second Master on it.
Seeing how patient he was, Wen Li stood by the bed and cast a spell. A strong wind blew in from outside the window, the screen fell to the ground, and the vase shattered on the floor.
Shen Yingsi made a nest on the bed with a quilt and put the Second Master on it. Then he leisurely tidied up the mess and closed the window.
Wen Li stood with her hands on her hips, walked around Shen Yingsi twice, then sat on the bed with her legs crossed, watching him calmly tidy up the room.
His movements were neither hurried nor slow, and there was not a trace of impatience on his face.
"Si Xiaxia, do you think he looks like he's turned evil?"
Si Xiaxia subconsciously shook her head, then, realizing that the host couldn't see, said, "It really doesn't seem like it. Her emotions are too stable."
After watching for a while without figuring out anything, Si Xiaxia yawned and said apologetically, "Host, remember to go back and rest later. You can't do anything by keeping watch here. I... I have to go home."
"get out."
"Goodbye, host."
As Shen Yingsi swept, he inadvertently used the screen to cover the bloodstained scales that had fallen in the corner.
Wen Li leaned quietly against the bed, glancing at the Second Master one moment and then out the window the next.
She wasn't talking to that thing; she was just quietly looking at it, her face expressionless.
She is unhappy.
After tidying everything up, Shen Yingsi suddenly walked to his desk and picked up paper and pen.
Wen Li's attention then turned to Shen Yingsi.
What is he doing? He has so much energy so late at night.
Wen Li leaned against the bed and watched Shen Yingsi. As she watched, her mood gradually calmed down.
It's all because I saw Li Youqian today. It reminded me of the days when everyone in Kyoto hated me. So annoying!
Once she finds out the truth about the Jiang family's massacre, she'll definitely give them a good slap in the face!
Seeing that Shen Yingsi had been sitting at his desk for a long time, Wen Li got up and slowly walked closer to him. She wanted to see what he was writing.
The girl bent down and leaned close to the desk, while the boy next to her lowered his gaze and involuntarily held his breath.
The paper doesn't contain any profound sayings or a magnificent article; it's a painting.
What is being drawn?
On a wide, bustling street, everyone was staring at a girl, seemingly cursing and gossiping about her. But the girl, standing in the middle with her hands in her pockets and a furious man standing on her foot, laughed triumphantly, completely unaffected by those around her.
It was as if she was saying, "Go ahead and curse, I don't care."
The other characters in the painting are drawn rather hastily, exaggeratedly, and even somewhat ugly. But the main character in the middle is drawn very beautifully, with a red dress, hair and headbands fluttering in the wind, and a confident and proud expression.
This painting depicts her.
