BXBX NOVEL Chapter 361 The Two Great Brushes (3)
Yun Chi smiled, "The time limit is two hours. You can all begin now."
Ji Yuan sneezed all of a sudden as he held his brush.
He began to mutter, "Who is cursing me?"
"Did you do that on purpose? This is low." Xiao Muhan had said all of a sudden.
Barely had Xiao Muhan began to start the first stroke of the brush to paint Yun Chi\'s exquisite beauty, Ji Yuan had suddenly sneezed in his direction and had caused him to ruin his painting with a wayward stroke.
Ji Yuan chuckled jovially, "You can\'t even hold your brush properly."
Xiao Muhan growled furiously before he took out a fresh piece of paper. "Stay far away from me. If you want to sneeze, please wear a mask!"
Ji Yuan laughed, "Why must I wear a mask? I am not a maiden and it is not like I will infect you or something. You\'re a golden celestial and are immune to sickness. Haha."
Yun Chi smiled pleasantly to Ji Yuan, "Great Hero Ji Yuan. Please restraint from using underhand methods to win. This is a fair competition. It is luckily that Saint Xiao Muhan has not started yet. It will be terrible if he has almost completed the painting."
Ji Yuan grumbled weakly, "How do I know that I will sneeze. It is not as though I did it on purpose-"
"He must have done it on purpose…"
"Despicable…"
"Underhand!"
"How can this Ji Yuan do this…"
"Because he wants us to lose our spirit stones…"
"Lame. Using tricks to win…"
"Just because his betting odds are low…"
"Disqualify him!"
"Cheater!"
The cultivators behind Ji Yuan were furiously discussing hotly.
Even Ling Feiyue was overheard saying, "Ji Yuan is too lame. How can he do this…he really wants us to lose our spirit stones…"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan was now staring at Yun Chi who was sitting serenely in front of him.
He was literally staring at her boldly, examining every single inch of her enticing figure.
But at the same time, he was cursing silently; she is wearing too little. Does she know that all these cultivators are staring at her now? She may well be naked…
Then he was staring between her legs as he muttered almost incoherent; why doesn\'t she part her legs?
"Why is that Ji Yuan staring at her instead of writing his poem?"
"He isn\'t a painter but he keeps staring at her…"
"This Ji Yuan is just a lecher…"
"I think he calls himself the Gentleman of the Sword…"
Ji Yuan rolled his eyes when he heard the many cultivators that were criticizing him all of a sudden.
He could not resist the urge to say aloud, "What do you all know about poems? You\'re all uncultured cultivators. I\'m studying her for inspirations. Hmph!"
Immediately many of the cultivators were responding with jeers;
"We don\'t believe…"
"It is just his lame excuse…"
"You can literally see where his eyes are wandering to…"
"This Ji Yuan is just a self-righteous bigot…"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
All of a sudden Yun Chi seemed to turn to Ji Yuan to smile pleasantly and she seemed to be studying him.
Ji Yuan quickly pretended to look at the blank silken paper in front of him as he pretended to write something but his mind was a blank; only the image of Yun Chi is occupying his mind now…
He began to curse silently; this Yun Chi is too fearsome and her air is too strong. I can\'t focus at all…
Then he took another peep at her before he wandered his eyes below her waist…
Xiang Li asked curiously in his soul sea, "Big Brother, why aren\'t you writing anything and why are you staring at her nonstop?"
Fairy Anyang giggled, "Maybe he doesn\'t want to win."
Ji Yuan immediately protested, "What do you all know? I am studying her for her weakness. By staring at her, I\'m hoping to unnerve her and this will translate into my advantage in our next confrontation. This is the ultimate science of the art of war. We win by psychology first!"
Xiang Li rolled her eyes and said nothing.
Her master did not seem to know that she and Fairy Anyang are both able to sense his emotions in his soul sea; at this moment, they both knew that Ji Yuan is actually thinking with his lower body as he looked at every single inch of Yun Chi\'s figure.
Fairy Anyang whispered to Xiang Li, "Has he forgotten about his near-death encounter with Yun Chi that night?"
Xiang Li re-examined Ji Yuan\'s soul sea before she blinked her eyes, "Big Brother seems confuse whether he should fear her or he should bang her…"
Fairy Anyang muttered weakly, "Mortals are so complex. I can also sense that he doesn\'t want Xiao Muhan to win this competition too because he seems to think that he is the better \'Great Brush\' in front of Yun Chi."
"More like he doesn\'t want Xiao Muhan to green him." Xiang Li giggled.
Ji Yuan was muttering to himself as he stared at the blank paper but the corners of his sharp eyes were looking at Yun Chi nonstop;
Ji Yuan, Ji Yuan. Don\'t forget that this Yun Chi is up to no good. You\'ve seen how ruthless she had been that night and that she got that terrifying blade wings on her back. Maybe she isn\'t even a celestial…
But these cultivators are attacking our camp. She may be defending us against them…
Did I misunderstand her or something?
Hmm, she seems to like me…
I can tell that she is extra friendly to me…
Or maybe it is just a plot of hers…
Maybe because my beautiful looks is too irresistible to her…
No, wait! She knows that I\'ve called her ugly and cocky behind her back…
Or maybe that is just a random line by her?
She looks gullible like Jingjing though…
Maybe she is really innocent…
Yea, maybe she is just a friendly maiden but I\'ve been too suspicious about her motives…
Am I too bad for doubting her?
She hasn\'t done anything to me so far…
So far is a poor statement. She doesn\'t have a chance to harm me yet but actually she is a demoness…
Maybe I should ask her for a date…
What am I thinking?
I\'m only interested in pursuing Maiden Feng…
Ji Yuan gasped all of a sudden as he looked panicky in Feng Minyue\'s direction.
Her impression of me must be rock bottom now.
I must cast this Yun Chi away from my mind…
But how to cast her off when I\'m supposed to describe her beauty with my poem?
Am I doomed to lose?
I can imagine Brother Xiao Muhan\'s cocky look now and also in the future…
I will be the laughing stock in his eyes for centuries to come…
Darn, even Brother Guo Taiming will learn of this too if I lose and I will be mocked…
With a firm conviction, he finally gathered his focus again as he lifted his head to look at Yun Chi once more…
"Look! That Ji Yuan didn\'t even write anything yet and he is looking at Maiden Yun Chi now."
"He is just a lecherous cultivator for sure…"
"Is he really a great poet…"
"One hour has passed and his paper is still blank…"
Ji Yuan rolled his eyes when he had heard the cultivators mouthing criticism behind his back…
I must also pretend these cultivators are not around. They are so distracting…
Ji Yuan willed all his mental together to cast away all the other distractions.
It was too easy for him.
After all, he had possessed the Divine Heart Recite; the Absolute Spirits being the first stage that he had long mastered.
He began to calm himself down and to think of Yun Chi as just a peerless maiden whose he had no emotional attachments.
In his mind, she was not good or evil but a peerless maiden.
He saw the golden sands that were scattered around her and he began to put his poem into writing;
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
, …
.
When Ji Yuan had finally put his poem into writing, he had a satisfied look.
I should give this poem a beautiful title as well. How about a name that no one will ever understand?
After thinking of a while, he began to put down a catchphrase that he had thought of; Mona Lisa.
That\'s right. Mona Lisa is Yun Chi and Yun Chi is Mona Lisa.
In this way, no one would be able to link the two of them together in the future and he would be safe from the wrath of his beloveds as well.
At almost the same time, Xiao Muhan was laughing jovially as he had completed his painting. "It is done, it is done! I must say that this is a masterpiece…muhahaha…"
Ji Yuan frowned as he saw Xiao Muhan excited chuckle, "Be careful that you will accidentally spit a drop of your saliva on your own painting and has an extra mole on her face. Then your painting will be ruined."
Xiao Muhan: …
He began to curse Ji Yuan loudly, "You think this is a white and black painting? It is a colored painting and I can always correct it. Since you can talk so much, I presume that you\'ve already finished your poem?"
Ji Yuan laughed aloud, "Of course I\'ve finished and you will surely be impressed."
Xiao Muhan frowned, "Don\'t be too sure about it. Wait till you have seen my painting, you will surely be impressed."
"Wait till you\'ve seen mine and you will regret competing with me again!" Ji Yuan mocked loudly.
The two of them laughed at the same time, "You\'ve been warned!"
Then the two of them laughed jovially as though they were mocking each other.
Ling Feiyue whispered to the rest of the maidens, "Now I truly believe that the two of them are best friends. They can\'t help slinging shit at each other."
"You bet that they are. They have been best friends for centuries." Little Princess chuckled softly; in the years that she had been secretly following Ji Yuan, he had been drinking with Xiao Muhan most of the time. She had witnessed many of their shameless acts together and their profanities against each other.
At first, she was really startled that the Two Great Brushes were actually such vulgar cultivators but eventually she had gotten used to their constant antics.
Shui Xisi muttered weakly, "I think the two of them are throwing the face of the Desolate Celestial Fraternity away…"
Yun Chi chuckled gently as she stood up, "So the two of you\'ve finished. I am really uncomfortable after sitting down for so long."
As she got up, she had to uncross her legs, this caused Ji Yuan, Xiao Muhan and many others to have their eyes popped out; they all had a satisfied look on their faces.
But this only applied to those with quick and sharp eyes like Ji Yuan, naturally.
As for the losers, they could only sigh regretfully.
Many of the cultivators that were still painting or writing their poems were panicky saying, "I\'m not done yet…how can these two be so quick…"
But Yun Chi ignored all of them because this was only a competition between Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan. This does not involve the others originally.
Xiao Muhan was the first to show Yun Chi and the others his masterpiece painting.
Many of the cultivators, including Yun Chi could not help gasping softly at the masterful strokes of this painting; in this painting, Yun Chi is really like a peerless goddess and she seems so surreal that it seems that she will come alive from the painting at any time.
Many of the cultivators were actually asking, "Please quote me a price for your painting!"
Even Ji Yuan was gasping breathlessly, "Beautiful painting! Brother Xiao Muhan, are you going to give this painting to me? Haha."
All the painters around Xiao Muhan were all shaking their heads; they could not even measure to one-tenth of Xiao Muhan\'s masterful hands.
Especially the curve that was between Yun Chi\'s legs, he could capture it so well and showed Yun Chi in all her captivating beauty.
Xiao Muhan was extremely proud of his painting as he smiled, "I wish to dedicate this painting to Maiden Yun Chi and I like Maiden Yun Chi to give this painting a name."
Ji Yuan muttered almost incoherently, "You\'ve already got a harem. Why are you competing with me? You\'re not a good friend."
Yun Chi smiled pleasantly to Xiao Muhan, "Maybe later. I\'ll like to take a look at Great Hero Ji Yuan\'s poem first."
Ji Yuan chuckled with pride when he had heard that it was his turn and he could not wait to show off his poems.
He put out the paper scroll for everyone to see as he recited proudly;
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
, …
.
Many of the cultivators were also impressed, especially the poets; Ji Yuan had completely captured Yun Chi\'s beauty in their hearts with these poetic lines!
The poets were all shaking their heads as their own poems could not even be compared to a tenth of Ji Yuan\'s poem.
Ji Yuan said proudly, "I call this poem the Mona Lisa!"
All of a sudden his sharp eyes saw that many of the cultivators were taking their brushes to copy his poem frantically.
Many were even shamelessly saying, "At least we can copy his poem down…"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
There goes his copyright…
Never mind, I shall be the final victor!
Then he took a hopeful look at Yun Chi and asked, "So what do you think about my poem? Between Xiao Muhan and I, who is the better brush?"
"Naturally it is me." Xiao Muhan hummed coldly, "And I\'m sure that the majority of the cultivators agree with me."
Ji Yuan laughed, "Don\'t be too sure about this first. Haha."
Xiao Muhan laughed aloud, "My painting is the only copy in this world. As for your poem, I\'m afraid that it is already widely copied and isn\'t rare anymore."
Ji Yuan rebutted him immediately, "It is signed by my hand and the personal hand of the Great Poet Ji Yuan is worth gold. It is not something that imitators can fake. It is as original as yours too."
All of a sudden there were several cultivators that were laughing around them as they showed to the other cultivators, "Look! I\'ve faked his brush strokes. It is really easy to copy his style!"
Ji Yuan added weakly, "Also my poem has my own personal seal on it. It is not easy to fake it."
Several cultivators were laughing immediately, "I happen to be good in making all kinds of fake seals…"
Ji Yuan: …
He laughed weakly as he looked at Yun Chi and showed his most sincere and earnest charm, "What do you think of my poem? So who is the superior brush and who is the inferior brush?"
Yun Chi smiled pleasantly, "Great Hero Ji Yuan\'s poem is really good but Saint Xiao Mohan\'s painting is also equally good. To be honest, I really can\'t decide who will be the winner is."
"You must choose a winner!" Both Ji Yuan and Xiao Mohan insisted at the same time.
Yun Chi smiled, "Actually both the painting and the poem have a little imperfection."
"Imperfection?!" Both Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan were both horrified at the thought. They said at the same time, "It is perfect!"
And silently they were both cursing Yun Chi for her lack of artistic talent to appreciate their godly works.
Yun Chi nodded as she said coyly, "If I was to choose my Lord Consort, I will not hesitate to choose Saint Xiao Muhan but this is a fair competition between two great pieces of arts. Therefore it is actually hard for me to make a decision…"
Ji Yuan was shocked; she will actually choose Xiao Muhan over me?! This is impossible!
His heart was suddenly pieced by tens of thousands of arrows as he screamed silently with disbelief…
Xiao Muhan was laughing all of a sudden, "I know that I am too irresistible. Muhaha…"
Yun Chi smiled, "Why not do this? May I have Great Hero Ji Yuan to write his poem on Saint Xiao Muhan\'s painting. I like Ji Yuan\'s poem and I think that it will be perfect on Saint Xiao Muhan\'s painting."
Xiao Muhan stammered, "Then who will be the winner?"
"That is right." Ji Yuan frowned.
Yun Chi smiled pleasantly, "Both of you can be the winner. Do you agree with me or not that Saint Xiao Mohan\'s painting will be more perfect with the poem from Great Hero Ji Yuan?"
Ji Yuan muttered weakly, "I don\'t actually disagree…"
"I must agree that Ji Yuan is really good in his poems and his calligraphy is also better than mine." Xiao Muhan muttered weakly.
Yun Chi said coyly, "Then it is decided and this painting shall be called Mona Lisa after the name of Ji Yuan\'s poem."
Both Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan nodded at the same time.
Ji Yuan immediately took his brush to write his poem on Xiao Muhan\'s painting. In a short while he was done. Next he wrote the title of Mona Lisa on it and took out his own personal seal to stamp on the painting.
Xiao Muhan muttered, "I must admit that my painting does look better with this rascal\'s poem on it…"
"Nonsense, it is the opposite." Ji Yuan insisted.
But they were both happy to be the winner at the same time or else it would be such a big loss of face on their reputations.
Perhaps today\'s competition will even be extolled forever in the history of the celestial history for the future generations to remember.
Yun Chi smiled pleasantly, "Since the competition is a dedication to me, why don\'t you give me this painting?"
All of a sudden both Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan displayed an ugly look on their countenance; they both wanted to keep their masterpieces and were reluctant to let the other party have it!
But because they both wanted to be a gentleman in front of all the cultivators and most importantly, they wanted to impress upon Yun Chi, so they forced themselves to say at the same time. "Naturally this painting will be given to Maiden Yun Chi."
Yun Chi laughed coyly as she took the painting, "Thank you then."
Ji Yuan and Xiao Muhan weakly muttered as they watched the painting disappeared into Yun Chi\'s spatial ring, "You\'re welcome. Very much welcome…"
Shui Xisi stepped forward all of a sudden as she chuckled, "Maiden Yun Chi, I beg your pardon! I don\'t think Ji Yuan\'s poem is good at all!"
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Yun Chi laughed coyly, "Why do you say so? Or are you envious of me?"
Shui Xisi giggled, "I\'m not envious of you. But I am just curious why you like such a lewd poem and even want to keep as though it is a priceless treasure."
Yun Chi laughed softly, "It is a most beautiful poem. Why do you say that it is a lewd poem?"
Shui Xisi laughed before continuing.
"The falling raindrops have turned into golden sands. In the vast deserts of vast eternity lies a beautiful goddess. She is like the desert oasis that quenches the thirst, bring hopes and love, the lifeless desert vanishes in front of her charming smiles."
"Why is that it sounds like some horny men who have an unsatisfied thirst and you\'re like a harlot that can bring them hopes and love by satisfying their horny orgasm that is waiting to be quenched like the vast eternal desert? And the falling raindrops is like the saliva of these horny men on you."
When all the cultivators heard her, they were all stunned. The men were all laughing weakly while the maidens were giggling at Yun Chi.
Ji Yuan was also stunned because the true essence of his poem had just been exposed by Shui Xisi; he had never known that she had such a high level of enlightenment in her poems.
He just got screwed by his own side…
The smiles that were on Yun Chi had suddenly vanished as she stared coldly at Ji Yuan.
Ji Yuan forced himself to smile back, "I can only tell you that she has totally misinterpreted my poem in the wrong way. You\'ve got to believe me…"
