The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 773 - 522: Thoughts Before Departure, Ink Holder with the Wolf-Hair Brush_3

——It’s impolite to speak further.

Chelina smiled as she watched everything unfold: "Then I’ll go and prepare."

"Alright, thank you for your effort. I also have some matters to prepare for alone."

The next moment, he pushed the door open, soared into the sky, transforming into a dark golden meteor heading off in a certain direction.

......

Lin Guang skillfully arrived at the familiar corridor on the top floor of Teaching Building No. 1, standing in front of the painted redwood door.

He reached out, still habitually knocked on the door, then gently touched the painting with his fingertips.

Ripples spread out like waves, instantly transforming the scene before him.

The next moment ——

He once again found himself in the studio, which wasn’t exactly spacious but had been organized tidily by him.

With her back still turned to him, Xi sat at the large drawing table, holding a brush in her hand, fully concentrated on applying ink onto the paper before her.

The jade inkstone emanated a gentle radiance, and after her brush absorbed the ink, the tip flowed with various hues according to her intention.

This was the mystical ink Lin Guang had made for her last time using material named [Sui Bone].

Xi did not speak, instead focused on outlining the spirit and form of the painting in front of her.

Lin Guang watched attentively for a moment.

The content of the painting was unexpected.

—— It seemed to depict a shop in Great Xia.

The person in the painting appeared to be a young merchant, relatively handsome, owning his spiritual materials shop, haggling meticulously with customers.

He was bonded with a large dog called [Beaded Heart Mastiff], whose fur pattern resembled an abacus. As he bargained and made sales, the dog would sit in position and rapidly tap a calculator to help him tally.

It wasn’t Xi’s usual grandiose subject, but conveyed a sensation filled with everyday life and common folk atmosphere.

Yet, peculiarly... such unimaginably precious ink was used for this painting.

Xi, without turning her head, spoke after a while, her voice cool and lazy.

"There’s no class today, so why are you here?"

"Teacher Xi, tonight I’m going abroad for an assistance mission."

As he finished saying this, Lin Guang calmly described his mission to her.

Xi did not immediately respond, yet her brush slightly paused.

But soon, the rhythm of her brush resumed smoothly, and she nodded normally.

"...Alright."

"For matters like these, follow your own intention."

"I’m only responsible for teaching you some things, your journeys and experiences, do not need to seek my approval."

Though she said this.

Lin Guang keenly sensed...

After hearing he was going away, her voice seemed less chilly and distant than usual, with a hint of concern.

At this moment, Xi suddenly stopped her brush.

The painting was almost complete, except for the spirit in the merchant’s eyes.

"You want that pen, don’t you?"

Lin Guang was slightly taken aback, but nodded seriously.

She did not turn around, simply said indifferently: "You can take it with you this time."

On the pen rack beside the drawing table, the wolf hair brush that had caused him much hardship but also great benefits hung quietly.

Xi spoke softly: "Previously, your heart power was insufficient, forcing control brought harm."

"But now your brushwork has reached a certain level, those four Spirit Patterns have also reached Five-Star."

"They now adhere to you, it is about time."

As she finished her words.

By his side, on the painting reworked by Lin Guang into a floor-to-ceiling window, a lively and adorable little sparrow flapped its wings, flying out of the painting.

It issued a crisp chirp, then deftly picked up the wolf hair brush from the pen rack with its beak, and flew to Lin Guang, handing the brush to him, then tidied its feathers and flew back into the painting.

"..."

He held the wolf hair brush, feeling the resonance within it to the four Spirit Patterns in his Sea of Spirit, and the now easily harnessed, enormous power, a wave of joy surged within him.

[Six-star Divine Object: Ink Holder]

With his current status, he could find ways to obtain many Divine Objects, yet looking around, those that could truly integrate perfectly and perform to their fullest were very few.

This was quite normal.

Most Six-star True Masters spend their entire lives using the one or two most suitable Divine Objects until death, many even painstakingly crafting Tier Six Perfect Level Spiritual Artifacts themselves.

This brush was the first fully functional Divine Object that truly matched Lin Guang himself.

He smiled and said to the still back-facing figure: "Thank you, teacher."

The next moment, being very considerate, he took out a few lunch boxes from his storage space, placing them aside: "When I return, I’ll cook for you again."

"Your student takes leave for now."

"Mhm."

Xi just softly responded, then picked up her brush again.

As if this treasure, enough to make True Masters outside fight over, was just an ordinary item casually given away in her eyes.

The next moment, Lin Guang vanished from the studio.

Xi raised her wrist, dipped the tip of the wolf hair brush into the last bit of ink made from [Sui Bone], and with just two simple strokes, drew lively eyes within the merchant’s sockets on the painting.

A hint of shrewdness mixed with a touch of detachment, as if coming to life completely.

——Final touch.

The painting was finished.

The next moment...

A flash of golden light, and the merchant disappeared from the painting.

Xi was not surprised, she simply looked at the lunch boxes left by Lin Guang, her eyelids lowered.

Her crimson dragon eyes slightly drooped, pursing her lips.

[When I return, I’ll make you something tasty, Big Sister Xi.]
