Although Ye Kong wasn't interested in the painting of a clothed beauty, Zhang Ziyi was determined to give it to his master. He even said that it was passed down from his ancestors and that this painting wasn't as simple as it seemed!
Ye Kong guessed that this painting was a portrait that Empress Myrtlestar had drawn for one of his concubines when he had nothing better to do. Although he didn't take it seriously, Zhang Ziyi insisted on giving it to him, so he said, "You can hang it here."
However, after looking at it every day, Ye Kong was able to make some sense of it. The painting of the court lady was a simple ink and wash painting. There were no colors, just lines that outlined a beautiful yet slightly melancholic woman.
Ye Kong was a talisman artist, so he had a special feeling for lines. So when he looked at this painting, his hand would follow the lines of the brush. Because of this, Ye Kong suddenly felt like he was immersed in it! Ye Kong was an immortal. He had lived for so many years and didn't have any interest in painting … How could he be immersed in it? There must be a reason!
After all, this was a painting by the primordial Emperor Myrtlestar. Even if it was a casual painting, with his great abilities, it would still contain a different flavor! Even a small inspiration would be useful to him! With this in mind, Ye would come to look at this painting every day after he finished looking at A Strike of the War God.
Of course, the mysteries of Emperor Myrtlestar's painting weren't that easy to decipher. The more Ye Kong looked at the woman, the more melancholic she became, but he couldn't see anything else.
"Fairy, Young Master is looking at that painting again," the maid's voice sounded from outside the exquisite little palace. Ye Kong hadn't become an emperor yet, so outsiders called him the Prison Warden or the President, but his own people liked to call him Young Master.
"Oh," Chu Yiyi replied. Although thirty years had passed, Chu Yiyi hadn't seen Ye Kong that often. Because of the knot in her heart, she had been avoiding Ye Kong. She hadn't had any relations with Ye Kong because she'd heard that the first time would bleed!
Unlike other women who were worried about bleeding, Chu Yiyi was worried that she would bleed! Because according to common sense, she should have broken through last time. But if it broke again this time … then it wouldn't make sense. Although Chu Yiyi had the power of new life, that membrane didn't bring new life.
Of course, some people said that Chu Yiyi was stupid to death. Find yourself a wooden stick or something that looks like a stick and break it. If that doesn't work, find a man outside. It would be difficult to repair it, but wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to break it?
Even so, Chu Yiyi felt that every woman only had one chance. If he were to break it, wouldn't that be too depressing? Chu Yiyi had his own considerations as well. If one day, Ye Kong found out the truth, Chu Yiyi could still say, "No matter what, I gave my first time to you." But if he was the one who broke it, then it would be hard to explain …
Therefore, for the past thirty years, Chu Yi had been very conflicted. What troubled her the most was that her cultivation had stagnated for thirty years because she kept thinking about this matter!
Furthermore, she heard that Xiling Lin had become an Immortal Lord. The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt.
Chu Yi walked into the palace, and discovered that Ye Kong was still staring at the painting, his eyes not moving at all. Chu Yiyi was a little depressed. Although she knew that Ye Kong wasn't looking at women, her man was always staring at other women's paintings. Therefore, from this point, Chu Yiyi was a little annoyed with Ye Kong's fourth disciple, Zhang Ziyi.
Of all the gifts, you had to give a painting of a beauty?
Although Ye Kong was in a daze, he still knew that Chu Yiyi had entered. An Immortal Lord would have normal immortal senses around them. Therefore, it was very difficult to sneak an attack on an Immortal Lord. Unless you were extremely fast and hid tens of miles away, then flew hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye to launch an attack!
But such situations were rare. To be able to fly hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye, probably only an Immortal Emperor could do it. But an Immortal Emperor wouldn't be able to sneak an attack on an Immortal Lord, right?
Ye Kong sensed Chu Yiyi's arrival and slowly withdrew his gaze. Only then did he turn to Chu Yiyi with a smile. "You're here."
Although everyone knew that Ye had a bad temper and would get angry for no reason, they also knew that Young Master Ye was actually quite a good person. Sometimes, he got angry because he was concerned about others.
However, Chu Yiyi still liked it when he smiled. Chu Yiyi walked over to the chair made of ancient vines. "You're about to become an Immortal Emperor, so of course I have to come."
Ye Kong smiled and pulled Chu Yiyi's hand so that she would sit close to him on the chair. The two of them squeezed onto the chair, and their butts were pressed together. It was quite a cozy scene.
Chu Yiyi blushed when she saw Tang Wulin's eyes staring at her chest. "You've been looking at that painting for so long. Did you discover something?"
"Oh," Ye Kong said. "I did discover something."
Chu Yiyi was quite surprised. If she could discover something from Emperor Ziwei's painting, then she wouldn't be far from attaining enlightenment!
Ye Kong said, "When I first looked at the woman in the painting, I felt that she was smiling as if she was looking at spring. She was standing among the yellow flowers on the mountain, and it was as if she was looking at the thawing of glaciers and the revival of all living things. Colorful butterflies fluttered in the air, and black bears roamed happily …"
Chu Yiyi was dumbfounded. What kind of words were those?
Ye Kong's voice changed. "But look at her eyes! If you look at her for a long time, you'll find that she's not actually smiling! Her eyes were so empty … No, it should be said that they were empty and lifeless! She sees everything, but it's as if she doesn't see anything! Her face is smiling, but her eyes aren't! "
Chu Yiyi looked at the painting again and felt that it was a little interesting. However, she couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Is that all?"
"Mm-hm, I've been looking at this painting for almost half of the past ten years, and that's all I can see," Ye Kong said with a nod.
Chu Yiyi was about to faint. She thought to herself, Big Brother, you've been looking at this painting for ten years, and all you see is a fake smile … Do you have to waste your time like this?
However, Chu Yiyi couldn't say it out loud. If she said too much, he might think that she was jealous of the woman in the painting. She could only say, "Actually, I feel that you shouldn't look at things on the surface. You have to discover what's inside. Also, there might not be anything special about this painting in the first place, so you shouldn't waste too much time. "
Ye Kong thought to himself, This painting is made up of dozens of lines, so how could there be so many things inside? He raised his hand and waved, and the painting on the wall in front of him disappeared. Ever since he found out that this thing was valuable, Ye Kong would casually put it away to prevent it from being stolen.
After Ye Kong put away the painting, Chu Yiyi asked again, "I heard that you invited the Celestial Emperors of the four clans this time. Why is that? You didn't invite them when you were undergoing your Celestial Tribulation last time."
Ye Kong said, "Things are different now. Last time, when I was undergoing my Celestial Tribulation, I invited guests and friends, so please cheer me on! But this time, it's the Celestial Emperor's coronation. The reason I invited them is to announce to them that there's another Celestial Emperor of China, so be careful! That's why I invited them! "
"So that's how it is." Chu Yiyi nodded, but she was caught off guard by Ye, who was pressing her down on the ancient vine chair. Chu Yiyi said, "Hey, you're so perverted. You don't look like an Celestial Emperor at all."
