Chapter 215: Chapter 201: Roaring

When the indescribably precious, lifelike Blood Phoenix with its haughty expression appeared before Old Xu, his body suddenly trembled.

His face first became blank, then disbelieving, and finally, his eyes shone with fervent brightness.

Seeing the Blood Phoenix behind Li He, Yan Yuting was stunned for a moment and then sneered, said, “I didn’t expect that in such a short time, you actually found a street artist to paint a chicken on it. But don’t you think it looks terribly out of place and ugly? Wearing this, you really have the nerve to show up! Although it looks pretty, what’s the difference between this and those cheap prints available online?”

Cui Tianlei also sneered, said, “Exactly, now that this thing has been doodled on like this, you really have the nerve to wear it. If you really don’t have money, we should give you some money to buy new clothes. This dress is now completely ruined, just take it off and throw it in the trash!”

Just as they were smugly mocking Li He, Old Xu suddenly roared at them, “You two idiots, shut your mouths!”

“Uh…”

Yan Yuting and Cui Tianlei were both stunned, not understanding why Old Xu was so agitated.

Then, they realized; they guessed that Old Xu thought the dress was street stall merchandise, and felt that Li He wearing it to the party was an insult to him, hence his sudden outburst.

Thinking this, the two looked at Li He with naked mockery in their eyes.

Old Xu, hands trembling slightly with excitement, said, “President Li, I don’t understand who painted this Blood Phoenix on your dress. I should recognize all the master painters of Huaxia, how do I not know who still possesses such ancient-level skills today? A single ink Blood Phoenix, yet full of vigor and a demeanor that dominates the world, it’s too incredible! President Li, please, you must introduce this master painter to me!”@@novelbin@@

What??

Everyone at the venue was somewhat dumbfounded; although they thought the Blood Phoenix behind Li He had charm, they never expected such a high appraisal from Old Xu!

Yan Yuting and Cui Tianlei were even more baffled. A master painter? Where did Li He find a master painter? What is going on!

Li He, hearing Old Xu’s words, was also startled; the Blood Phoenix had just been painted by Liu Wentian, and she had guessed that Liu Wentian could surprise her, but in the end, this was not just a surprise, it was a shock!

Old Xu actually declared that today’s master painters of Huaxia Country couldn’t compare to the person who painted it!

“Liu Wentian, show me the photo you took.” Li He, slightly blushing, handed Liu Wentian her phone.

When Li He saw the photo Liu Wentian had taken, with the ink-black Blood Phoenix on her back as if struggling through blood, about to burst forth, she was so amazed that her mouth fell open.

After a moment, she took a deep look at Liu Wentian but still did not respond to Old Xu’s words.

Liu Wentian smiled, thinking this woman was indeed thoughtful, fearing that he wouldn’t want others to know he had painted it, hence she left the decision to speak to him.

But there was no need to hide it, and it couldn’t be hidden anyway; several people had watched him painting earlier.

“I painted it,” Liu Wentian smiled, said.

“Ah? You painted it?”

Old Xu was startled, then looked Liu Wentian up and down, sighed and said, “They say heroes emerge from the young, but this is too humbling. We old folks have studied painting our whole lives and yet can’t reach this level. It’s unbelievable how young you are, yet you’ve achieved so much.”

He called Liu Wentian “young brother,” treating him as an equal.

“You flatter me too much, sir. I just have some talent,” said Liu Wentian, somewhat immodestly but that seemed the only explanation aside from attributing it to talent.

“Haha, you’re too modest, young brother. Without significant effort, even with talent, such achievement would not be possible. By the way, is this dress for sale?” Old Xu, showing evident desire, asked.

“Not for sale!” Before Liu Wentian could speak, Li He quickly shook her head.

“President Li, please reconsider—sell it to me for a million, what do you say?” Old Xu, somewhat reluctant, said.

“Old Xu, I’m truly sorry, but I plan to keep this dress as a collectible, so I do not intend to sell it,” Li He, expressing some regret, said.

She had decided the moment she saw the photo that she would never sell this dress in her lifetime.

Old Xu, upon hearing this, looked at Liu Wentian and then at Li He, seeming to realize something, smiled and said, “It appears I was too presumptuous. Let’s pretend I never said anything.”

Liu Wentian smiled and said, “Sir, if you really like it, I’ll paint another one in a few days and send it over.”

As Old Xu said, Liu Wentian’s painting did exude vigor and had an air of overlooking the world, but because of that, as simple as it might seem, painting it was actually very taxing; painting more than once a day could be overly exhausting, so Liu Wentian could only say he would wait a few days.

Upon hearing this, Old Xu’s eyes lit up, exclaimed, “Are you serious?”

Liu Wentian nodded.

“Haha, splendid young man, then thank you. Should I just transfer a million to you now?” Old Xu was thrilled to the extreme, even willing to pay upfront before receiving the goods.

“No need for money; since you like it, it’s a gift,” Liu Wentian shook his head and refused. He could tell Old Xu genuinely loved his painting, and he was the first person to recognize its uniqueness and praise it endlessly, which he felt was fate, so giving it as a gift was no issue.
