Cultivating with Bragging System

Chapter 706 350: Miss, your broad-mindedness is not meant for me!_1

"You've finally discovered your own perfection!"

Wang Xiu's words, like a salty sea breeze, echoed in Lin Yuyan's ears. Without realizing it, the tension and shyness in her heart eased considerably.

She calmed down, pinched herself to make sure this wasn't a dream, and then excitedly asked, "Sir, how did you manage to do this?"

She wasn't a complete fool; she finally understood her own worth. She was like a completely different person now!

Wang Xiu's expression was calm as he said, "It is as I've said before. What I painted is simply how you truly look. Even if others don't see you this way, in my eyes... you are this perfect!"

Lin Yuyan mulled over his words. "Does that mean," she asked thoughtfully, "that as long as you believe I'm... ample, I can become ample?"

Wang Xiu smiled. "You're half right. It's not just about what I believe; you have to believe it yourself. The Dao of Painting I cultivate is called the Zuo Wang Dao. Without your sincere conviction, this painting could never become real!"

Lin Yuyan covered her mouth, amazed. "Such a Dao of Painting actually exists in this world?"

Wang Xiu chuckled. "The world is vast and full of wonders. Haven't you just witnessed it yourself?"

"Indeed... indeed... Look at me, I'm all flustered!" Lin Yuyan's face grew hot as she asked shyly, "So, how long will this last?"

Wang Xiu idly fanned himself with his Folding Fan, his movements as graceful as jade. "As long as you continue to believe, it will remain," he said with a smile. "If you ever begin to doubt, perhaps... it will revert to how it was."

Lin Yuyan quickly covered her chest. "Ah! It can change back?"

Wang Xiu said, "Exactly. So, it would be best if you looked at this painting every morning when you wake up and, just like you did a moment ago, repeat those thoughts to yourself several times."

Lin Yuyan nodded repeatedly. "I understand. Thank you, Sir!"

As she spoke, she gingerly took the scroll from Wang Xiu's hands. She stroked it twice, as if it were a priceless treasure, before finally asking, "I forgot to ask, Sir, how many Spirit Stones does this painting cost?"

Wang Xiu smiled openly. "I paint for fated encounters. As for Spirit Stones... I don't charge a single one."

Lin Yuyan frowned slightly. "How can that be right?"

At that moment, her Attending Maid whispered something in her ear. Lin Yuyan started as if waking from a dream, then stuck out her tongue. "My apologies, I'd forgotten. Please rest assured, Sir. Once I return, I will inform my clan and recommend you for entry into the Cold Mountain Pavilion!"

Wang Xiu laughed heartily and waved his hand. "Let fate decide. There's no need to force things."

But Lin Yuyan insisted firmly, "No, I must! I absolutely must!"

Wang Xiu sighed. "Since you insist, it would be rude of me to refuse. In that case, I thank you in advance."

Lin Yuyan quickly replied, "Sir, you're too kind..."

As she said this, a sly glint and a deeply hidden madness flashed in her eyes. "Sir," she said via Divine Sense Transmission, "if I wanted... some changes in other areas, could you help me?"

Wang Xiu was slightly stunned. "Other areas?"

Lin Yuyan's cheeks turned crimson as she fought back her embarrassment. "You know... that..."

After he heard her out, Wang Xiu's eyes widened. He stared at the prim and proper-looking lady before him and clicked his tongue. "I never expected Miss Lin to be such a person of passion!"

Lin Yuyan blushed. "I... I never speak of such things with men..."

At these words, the looks Yan Ji and Nie Linglan gave Wang Xiu turned quite peculiar.

Wang Xiu coughed dryly twice. "That... we can discuss that at a later date."

"You're impossible~"

Lin Yuyan chided coyly, then turned to leave with her Attending Maid, not forgetting to cast a tender, affectionate glance back at Wang Xiu.

Nie Linglan asked curiously, "Sir, what did Miss Lin tell you?"

Wang Xiu replied silently via Divine Sense Transmission.

Nie Linglan's face instantly turned crimson, and she stammered, "I never would have thought... Miss Lin looks so dignified and elegant, but inwardly... she's so... audacious?"

An old saying is right,` Wang Xiu sighed to himself. `A woman... is like a lock that can only be picked once. After you open it... it stays open! A woman who appears proper on the outside isn't necessarily so on the inside. A woman who is proper on the inside may not remain so forever. Even a woman who has been proper her entire life might not stay that way until the end.

Wang Xiu had understood this logic long ago. He just never expected that the women of the Nine Heavens would be no exception!

Because Lin Yuyan's Attending Maid had used a Magical Treasure to block any prying eyes, the people nearby had not been able to see the full process of her transformation. Furthermore, she held the painting clutched in her hands in front of her, completely obscuring the view. Thus, no one knew exactly what had transpired.

They did, however, clearly notice the bashful expression and affectionate, moving gaze Lin Yuyan had as she departed, and their imaginations instantly ran wild.

A figure suddenly appeared before Wang Xiu and clasped his hands in greeting. "I am Zhao Zhonghe. And you are, fellow Daoist?"

The man was bald in the middle, but the hair on the sides of his head was extremely dense, hanging down like twin waterfalls. The style was strange, but one had to admit... it gave him the eccentric air of a transcendent master.

Wang Xiu smiled in response. "I am Wang Yitian."

Zhao Zhonghe said politely, "So it is fellow Daoist Wang. It's an honor."

After this brief pleasantry, he asked, "May I ask which master you learned from, fellow Daoist?"

Wang Xiu replied, "My master rarely ventures through the Nine Heavens, so I'm afraid you wouldn't have heard of him. It's best not to say. You, on the other hand, fellow Daoist, have the air of a transcendent master and a unique temperament. It's clear you come from a distinguished lineage!"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhonghe's eyes narrowed into slits. This fellow really knows how to talk,` he thought.

"Hahaha, I never expected your eyes to be so sharp, fellow Daoist! I intended to hide my humble abilities, yet you saw right through me!"
