526 Like to Draw On My Face
He looked like an ink painting.
“The Color-Painting Bird is really fascinating.”
They spat if they could not win—nothing was more fascinating than them!
“Miss An, you’re going out? That’s wonderful! You’re even accompanied by Second Brother,” Gong Cheng said sarcastically as he looked at An Jiuyue.
He was furious at the sight of An Jiuyue. His second brother would not have sent him to this godforsaken place if it had not been for her. He would still be eating delicious food and having fun at home.
Not only was he beaten up here, but he was also forced to labor on the protected grounds!
He could not help but feel jealous when he saw An Jiuyue, making a snide remark to her without caring if his second brother was present.
“Huh? Who is this?”
An Jiuyue stopped smiling and glanced at Gong Cheng. She pretended to be clueless as she turned to look at Qian Jiyun.
“Jiyun, do people develop mental problems if they spend too much time on Huayan Peak? Otherwise, why would this person draw something so ugly on his face?”
“You—”
Gong Cheng felt his anger caught in his throat, nearly suffocating.
Is this something I want to draw on my face? If I could, I would have gotten rid of these colors long ago. But I couldn’t do it!
“This is Gong Cheng. He has always enjoyed playing since he was a child. It is common for him to draw on his face,” Qian Jiyun responded calmly.
Gong Cheng was speechless.
When did I like to draw on my face? Second Brother, how much more do you value your lover than your friend? How can you say that about me?!
“Second Brother, this is obviously because the Color-Painting Bird spat on me!” he shouted at Qian Jiyun, his face flushing red.
Unfortunately, no one could tell his face was red because of his colorful face. However, they could tell that he was furious.
“You’re already so old, but you can’t handle a few Color-Painting Birds. What gives you the audacity to say that?” Qian Jiyun shot him a cold look and retorted.
“Uh…” Gong Cheng choked violently.
I couldn’t defend myself in time, okay?
“It’s not like I go to the protected grounds every day. Can’t I be caught off guard?” he argued.
“Of course, you can.” An Jiuyue smiled at him, revealing her white teeth.
“I wonder if the demonic beasts will spit saliva or poison at you the next time you’re caught off guard. Gong Cheng, you should be careful…”
Gong Cheng was shocked.
That makes sense. I’ll be careful in the future. But why do I feel like she’s gloating instead of reminding me?
He rolled his eyes at An Jiuyue and snapped, “Do I need you to remind me?”
“As if I’m happy to remind you.” An Jiuyue continued to smile at him and size him up.
“Jiyun, the Color-Painting Bird’s saliva is a lovely color. If we turn this into paint, it won’t fade, will it?”
“Someone tried it before, but it didn’t work,” Qian Jiyun answered.
Of course, some people desired to make use of this non-fading color. However, capturing Color-Painting Birds was challenging, and they would not secrete colorful saliva after being beaten to death.
“Someone really tried it?”
An Jiuyue was intrigued. Wouldn’t this saliva… be difficult to bear?
“It’s saliva! Won’t you feel nauseous if you use it for other things? Hey, Gong Cheng, your face and hands are covered in saliva. Don’t you feel nauseous?”
