Du Feng was quite familiar with Huang Ying and knew what she looked like. He also knew that it was impossible for her to come to Jin City for Cultivation. This person should be a resident of Jin City. He was not here to visit a relative or a guest of some family. Because a visiting official wouldn't know him, and a visiting official wouldn't be in the mood to paint.
"You don't know me, but I know you. My father is going to be transferred because of you."
Well, Du Feng immediately reacted after hearing what the other party said. It turned out that the girl in the yellow dress was the daughter of the Jin City's City Lord.
"Sorry, I was just trying to protect myself. I didn't know it would be like this."
At that time, the parents of the deceased were very aggressive, so Du Feng had to lead them to the City Lord's Mansion. But he didn't expect the City Lord to search his soul. He was forced to do so. In fact, it wasn't Du Feng's fault, but it wasn't the parents' fault either. After all, their children had died and they must be very distressed.
So, was the City Lord wrong? He wasn't at fault either. As the City Lord, he had to appease the public and give everyone an explanation. It was just that everyone's starting point was different, so there was a conflict.
In the end, Du Feng won. The City Lord of Jin City was poisoned and lost one of his hands. Although he recovered later, he had lost his credibility in Jin City. The Sacred City had informed him that he would be transferred away. This was probably the last time the girl in the yellow dress came here to paint.
"You said it was to protect yourself, but my father won't let it go."
The girl in the yellow dress said this in a secret language, so others couldn't hear it. They only saw the two of them staring at each other as if they had known each other for a long time.
"What do you think, Miss?"
Actually, Du Feng knew that he was being watched the moment he came out. He didn't discover it, but Du Tulong told him. It was too easy for a Divine Emperor who was two realms higher to watch a World King. The City Lord's God's Stone could cover the entire Jin City. Of course, he could watch Du Feng at any time. As long as he left the protection of Gold City, anyone could make a move.
He didn't even need to make a move. Just a small knife or a piece of rock could blow up Du Feng's head. This was also why Du Feng did not dare to leave Jin City for the time being. If there was a solution, he was willing to try it.
"It's very simple. Make a painting for me."
The yellow-dressed woman's conditions were so simple that Du Feng couldn't believe it.
"That's it?" He confirmed it again.
"Yes, just a simple painting will do, but you have to follow my instructions."
It was indeed just a matter of a painting, but it had to be done according to the yellow-dressed woman's request. She didn't want to draw herself, but someone else. That person was her deceased mother.
"Come, let's talk in private."
The yellow-dressed woman called Du Feng to another room, causing the surrounding women to be jealous. He wondered what the two of them were secretly talking about. They actually agreed to go to a separate room. However, they couldn't follow them in because they closed the door after entering.
Things were indeed simpler than expected. Du Feng didn't need to sacrifice anything to resolve the conflict between him and the City Lord of Jin City. However, it was more complicated than expected. That was because there were requirements for the painting, and the requirements were a bit complicated.
"You've already seen my father's appearance, right?"
The yellow-dressed woman asked Du Feng to draw her father and mother. He also wanted the feeling of deep love. Du Feng had already seen her father, the City Lord of Jin City, but he hadn't seen her mother. Moreover, her mother was already dead. How was he going to draw her? He had never seen her before, so he didn't know what she looked like.
If Du Feng wanted to draw her, he could only listen to the yellow-dressed woman's words. She would describe her mother's appearance, and Du Feng would draw according to his imagination. It was just an empty description, but she still wanted him to draw her mother's appearance. Not only did the yellow-dressed woman feel like it, but the City Lord of Jin City also had to be satisfied.
Although the City Lord of Jin City was cruel and merciless, the truth was that he was a very infatuated man. After he lost his beloved wife, he never married another woman. He didn't even look at them. If Du Feng could really draw this well, then there was a chance that the conflict between the two of them could be resolved.
After all, it wasn't some irreconcilable enmity of killing one's father or stealing one's wife. He had only injured a hand, but it had already recovered. The greatest problem was that because of Du Feng, he had lost his position as the City Lord of Jin City. In truth, if a God Emperor was unhappy, he could pinch a World King to death. This was something that everyone could understand.
But on the other hand, as long as he was happy, he could let go of a World King at any time, and he could even help a World King.
For instance, the yellow-dressed woman. Her talent was ordinary, but her Cultivation was even higher than Du Feng's. She was already at the peak of the ninth level of the World King realm. She was young and didn't like to practice martial arts. She spent all her time studying embroidery and painting. The reason she reached the ninth level of the World King realm was because she had a good father.
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
Du Feng could only say that he would try his best. This was because he didn't have full confidence in himself. After all, he wasn't a professional painter and he didn't know whether or not the yellow-dressed woman's description of her mother was accurate enough. He could only draw according to his own understanding. Even if he drew it correctly, he couldn't guarantee that the Golden City City Lord would like it. If he were to make the City Lord unhappy, it would only intensify the conflict.
Since the yellow-dressed woman was careful, Du Feng would do his best.
In truth, the composition was very simple. It was a woman standing on a city wall, looking into the distance, watching as her husband led his troops into battle. The husband was riding on a horse, looking back at his wife. The crux of the problem wasn't in the composition, but in the expression of emotions.
In theory, when the husband went to battle, the wife should have a reluctant look in her eyes. But what Du Feng drew was different. The wife he drew had a firm and determined look in her eyes. She firmly believed that her husband would win and return alive. On the contrary, it was the husband who looked back, reluctant to part with his wife. This didn't match the image of a general leading his troops into battle.
Du Feng didn't know why he said this. Perhaps it was because he felt something from the description of the yellow-dressed woman, or perhaps it was a burst of inspiration. In short, by the time he finished the painting, the yellow-dressed woman was already sobbing.
"Thank you!"
The yellow-dressed woman thanked him and then rolled up the painting and ran away. Her hurried appearance was somewhat similar to that of the woman who had rolled up the painting and ran away.
The problem was that the woman from before had rolled up the painting and ran away in public. Everyone had seen it so it was understandable. But the yellow-dressed woman was in a separate room. She opened the door and ran away crying, her hair a bit messy.
