Chapter 40 - Ink Wash Painting: The Hundred Palaces of the Immortal Realm
【Hahaha, the boss has co to tease the strear.】
【He even specially took the na of a Demon Sovereign.】
【The boss is really willing to spend money, sending a rocket worth over 600 just like that.】
【The boss is foolish!】
【…】
The bullet comnts in the stream beca lively again, but Long Yue couldn't help but let out a light sigh, propping her face on her hand in disappointnt.
Receiving a gift worth over six hundred yuan should have been a very happy occasion, but she couldn't feel happy at all.
Because the one who sent her the gift was none other than the Demon Sovereign…
She had heard that live streaming platforms take a cut of the gifts. A portion of this gift money of over six hundred yuan would be taken by the platform, and only the remaining part would be hers. Thinking of it this way made it even more unbearable.
It would have been better to just transfer the six hundred plus yuan directly to her…
However, compared to the loss from the gift commission, she was now more troubled by how she could prove her identity as the Empress of the Immortal Realm to everyone.
Never mind making everyone believe her, at the very least, she didn't want these mortals to look down on and belittle her anymore!
But after thinking for a long ti, she really couldn't figure out what thod she, who was without any spiritual energy, had to prove herself…
Just as Long Yue was engulfed deep in her troubles, a bullet comnt in the stream caught her attention:
【Her Majesty the Empress has lost her cultivation, but surely she must have so special skill or ability that doesn't require cultivation, right?】
Hmm… a special skill and ability that doesn't require spiritual energy…?
Long Yue’s expression was pensive as she repeatedly pondered if she had such a skill.
In the Immortal Realm, almost everything required spiritual energy. Even for a sip of water, a flick of a slender finger would make the water float directly to her mouth, without needing to move at all.
But if she had to think of sothing that could be done without any spiritual energy at all, it seed she really did have one!
“I’ve got it! Besides immortal arts and magic treasures, pill and artifact refinent, This Empress is also quite confident in zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting, as well as singing, dancing, and playing music!”
Long Yue excitedly declared to the people in the stream.
When she thought of the special skills she was good at, the first things that ca to her mind were always cultivation skills like immortal arts and magic treasures, pill and artifact refinent, and so on. After all, in the Immortal Realm, one couldn't do without these skills, and she spent almost every day delving into her cultivation.
When Zhou Yan had asked her what special skills she had, she had subconsciously only thought of those cultivation skills she was best at, completely forgetting that she was actually not bad at all in zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting. It was just that her talent in these areas was not as prominent as her talent in cultivation.
It wasn't until she saw this bullet comnt reminder that she rembered these skills she rarely displayed.
The people in the stream imdiately beca interested upon hearing this.
【Zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting; singing, dancing, and playing music? The strear knows so many things?】
【For real? I don’t believe it, unless you perform for to see.】
【Why not show us one?】
【Stop talking so much, just show us your talent!】
【…】
Long Yue was just considering whether to turn on the cara and show off her dancing skills to the crowd when she turned her head and saw Zhou Yan and Lin Fan staring with wide eyes, having switched from lon seeds to waterlon, a look of eager anticipation on their faces as they waited for her to perform...
For so reason, she didn't want to dance in front of these two at all, let alone in front of the Demon Sovereign...
For her, the majestic Empress of the Immortal Realm, to perform a dance for the Demon Sovereign was just too strange...
“Mmm… This Empress does not have a zither or other musical instrunts on hand right now, and the room is rather small, so my dancing will be constrained.”
“I’ll just show you all my calligraphy and painting skills instead~ ! You all just wait!”
Long Yue made up a random excuse, got up from the computer desk, and strode with her long legs over the space between Lin Fan and Zhou Yan, rummaging through the bedroom.
Lin Fan and Zhou Yan took a disappointed bite of their waterlon.
What a pity, they wouldn't get to see the Empress’s (sister-in-law’s) dance...
“Found it!”
After finding an ink brush and Xuan paper, Long Yue gleefully strode past Lin Fan and Zhou Yan again, returned to the computer desk, slightly adjusted the cara to aim at the desktop, and then turned the cara on.
At this mont, in addition to her original empress avatar on the stream, a small window showing her desktop also appeared.
It was inevitable that one would encounter tis like this during a stream when it was necessary to turn on the cara, so Lin Fan had already taught her this necessary streaming skill beforehand.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd in the stream, Long Yue held the ink brush. Her brush moved like a roaming dragon as she sketched and painted on the Xuan paper, one stroke at a ti.
At first, the people in the stream would still post a few teasing bullet comnts from ti to ti, but as the scene gradually took shape under her brush, the crowd couldn't help but beco engrossed, gradually forgetting to send bullet comnts.
During the painting process, Long Yue was focused and in a ditative state, single-minded, without the slightest pause or hesitation, completing it all in one go!
“Finished!”
The mont she laid down the final stroke, she let out a light breath and held up the finished work in her hands towards the cara.
In an instant, a magnificent painting of the Hundred Palaces of the Immortal Realm was displayed before everyone’s eyes!
Although it was only an ink wash painting, it vividly depicted over a hundred immortal palaces and jade pavilions standing amidst the clouds. The immortal aura was boundless, as if a splendid and glorious scene of the Immortal Realm was presenting itself before their eyes!
Seeing this scene, the silent stream instantly exploded.
【Holy shit! She can actually do it!】
【This painting is too beautiful!】
【She painted so fast, and it’s so beautiful!】
【Oh no, the strear actually has talent.】
【With this kind of painting skill, why are you being a virtual strear?】
【Strear, strear, is the painting for sale?】
【…】
The bullet comnts in the stream suddenly increased, almost all of them exclamations of amazent and praise.
Long Yue’s face was full of pride. She proudly lifted her snow-white, jade-like neck and said in a sarcastic tone:
“Aiya~ you mortals just make a big fuss over nothing. This is just sothing this Empress painted casually, using only thirty percent of my seriousness. It’s not worth ntioning~”
“Now you all know how amazing this Empress is, right? Hohoho~”
Lin Fan: “…”
Looking at Long Yue, who was just short of having the words "arrogant and smug" written all over her face, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel speechless.
Just a mont ago she was humiliated and enraged because she was being doubted by the bullet comnts, and now that she had the chance, it was her turn to mock the crowd in the comnts, looking completely like a small person who had found success…
It seed the Empress was exceptionally good at holding grudges and was quite petty…
However, watching the whole process, she indeed had the qualifications and strength to be smug.
An ordinary person could not have painted the Hundred Palaces of the Immortal Realm she held in her hand, and even a true master who could paint it absolutely couldn't do it in such a short amount of ti!
“Lin Fan, if sister-in-law is so amazing at painting, you should have said so earlier! Would I have even needed to find a job for her?”
Zhou Yan couldn't help but stand up from his stool. Looking at the painting of the Hundred Palaces of the Immortal Realm on Long Yue’s desk, he was so shocked he forgot to take a bite of the waterlon in his hand.
When he asked sister-in-law what her special skills were earlier, she said a whole bunch of strange things, which made him think she couldn't do anything…
If she had just casually shown her painting skills, he wouldn't have needed to search his entire network to find her a job.
With this level of painting skill, any random painting she made and put up for sale, there would be plenty of people willing to buy it for thousands or even tens of thousands!
“I also just found out that she could paint,” Lin Fan said flatly.
He truly did not know that this forrly high and mighty, cold and proud Empress knew skills like zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting, in addition to fighting.
Looking at it this way, he really had underestimated this Empress…
