The more Su Yanke looked at the woman in the painting, the more familiar she seemed.
In a daze, Su Yanke saw the pile of corpses seem to move. She widened her eyes and wanted to get closer to take a better look.
Just then, a gust of black wind blew in. Su Yanke saw Yuan Hexiao being pushed by the black wind and about to fall into the painting. And the painting actually turned into a mass of black fog, as if it wanted to suck Yuan Hexiao in.
Su Yanke quickly sprinkled the essence and blood from her satchel onto Yuan Hexiao. A flash of golden light appeared. Su Yanke quickly pulled Yuan Hexiao and stepped back from in front of the painting.
Su Yanke inadvertently caught a glimpse of a small pale - yellow light. She took a closer look and was surprised to find it was something she was familiar with.
On the wall not far away, glowing, was a landscape painting she had drawn for her father before.
Su Yanke seemed to have discovered something. She quickly brought Yuan Hexiao in front of the landscape painting, spread out the writing brush and ink, and started to paint.
At first, Yuan Hexiao was also stunned by this strange scene and didn't react. But now seeing that Su Yanke seemed to have a way to solve it, he calmed down.
When Su Yanke was grinding the ink, she just remembered that she seemed to have used up all the essence and blood just now. It would be very troublesome to refine it again, unless...
Su Yanke looked at Yuan Hexiao, hesitated for a while, and then asked him shyly, "Mr. Yuan, I need your help. Please close your eyes."
Yuan Hexiao was a bit puzzled, but out of trust in Su Yanke, he still agreed.
With his eyes closed, Yuan Hexiao's other senses became more sensitive.
He felt Su Yanke take a deep breath. He thought she found this matter a bit tricky and was just about to comfort her when he suddenly felt a soft touch on his lips.
Yuan Hexiao had never been in a relationship before and didn't immediately realize what it was.
Then Yuan Hexiao felt something in his body gradually disappearing. His body became heavier and heavier. After that, he didn't know what happened.
Using Yuan Hexiao as a medium, Su Yanke refined a small part of the essence and blood that had attached to him and quickly used it on the painting. Soon, the threatening black wind around was sucked into the painting, and the surroundings returned to normal.
Looking at the unconscious Yuan Hexiao, Su Yanke felt a bit sorry. There was really no other way at that time. Refining the essence and blood again would consume a large amount of belief value. What if something powerful appeared later? It would be very dangerous.
It would just let Yuan Hexiao be taken a bit of advantage of and spend some energy. He would just need to sleep for a while. Comparing the two, it was obvious that the latter was a safer option.
Su Yanke carried Yuan Hexiao easily towards the door. No one noticed that the eyeless skull on the previous painting flashed eerily.
On the other side, in a dim room, a man covered in totems let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of deep - black blood.
A pair of eyes without any warmth suddenly opened. He quickly got up and walked into a room. Looking at a huge drawing, he frowned tightly, as if he couldn't believe it.
After a while, he dialed a phone number. A hoarse voice said, "Go to that place and check something for me."
Here, everyone stared blankly at Yuan Hexiao being carried out by Su Yanke.
Mainly because Yuan Hexiao had always been a very powerful person in front of them. Now he was actually carried out by a woman, and it seemed that she was carrying him quite easily?
Su Yanke noticed that the others were looking at her strangely. She turned to look at Yuan Hexiao and seemed to realize something. She said, "Mr. Yuan was very tired from protecting me just now, so he's taking a nap."
Hearing Su Yanke's far - fetched explanation, the others didn't expose her. They quickly agreed and stepped forward to take Yuan Hexiao.
The medical staff stepped forward to check and found that Yuan Hexiao was really asleep. They all looked at each other in surprise.
Yuan Hexiao's assistant stepped forward and asked Su Yanke, "It's getting late. How about we take you back to rest?"
Su Yanke had already repaid the favor for the meal and had no reason to stay. She readily agreed.
Soon they arrived at the hotel where Su Yanke was staying. Su Yanke got out of the car, said goodbye to them, and walked into the hotel.
Looking at the man who had been following her from the hotel entrance all the way to her room door, Su Yanke asked in confusion, "Do you have something to do? Why have you been following me?"
Agent Liu was so excited at the sight of Su Yanke's face that he couldn't speak. It was not until Su Yanke asked that he stammered, "Hello, I'm Liu Fanjin from Star Entertainment. You're very suitable for a career in the entertainment industry. I wonder if you're interested?"
Su Yanke wasn't interested in this. She declined casually and was about to enter the room.
Agent Liu immediately got anxious. He just said whatever came to his mind without thinking. He talked about meeting all kinds of celebrities, how powerful he was, how much money she could earn, and how many places she could travel to.
Just as Agent Liu was feeling desperate because the door was about to close completely, the door suddenly opened. A pair of crystal - clear eyes stared at him and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Travel to many places?" Agent Liu tried hard to recall and asked tentatively.
"No, the sentence before that." Su Yanke asked again.
"Earn a lot of money?"
Su Yanke immediately dragged him into the room and pressed him onto the sofa. She asked, "How can I earn a lot of money?"
Agent Liu was a bit stunned by Su Yanke's actions, but his mind was still working fast. He said, "You need to sign a contract first, and then we'll arrange jobs for you. Then you can start earning money."
Su Yanke readily agreed to sign the contract. She had been worrying about tomorrow's meal money, and now she had a way to earn a lot of money without painting. She was very happy.
Agent Liu was holding the contract form in a daze, still feeling a bit unreal.
Su Yanke asked excitedly, "When will you arrange the job?"
Agent Liu came to his senses and asked Su Yanke if she had any special skills or hobbies. Su Yanke thought for a while and replied, "I can dance, do martial arts, and create calligraphy and paintings."
Agent Liu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was currently looking for a beautiful actress with dance skills for a big - budget drama, and Su Yanke was just the right person.
Agent Liu took a photo of Su Yanke and sent it to the chief director, hoping to secure the role for her.
He had some seniority in the industry and wanted to help Su Yanke debut directly with this role.
It had to be said that Agent Liu was very efficient. Early the next morning, the director replied and agreed. They discussed the details of the drama, arranged the time for training.
Su Yanke agreed in a daze. During this period, Agent Liu took good care of all of Su Yanke's daily needs.
One day, Agent Liu received a call from the chief director. He was shocked as if struck by lightning.
He rushed to Su Yanke's room in a hurry. "My little ancestor! Why are you on the hot search? You haven't even debuted yet, but you already have such a large group of anti - fans! What's going on?"
Su Yanke still had a small steamed bun in her mouth. She looked at Agent Liu blankly, not knowing what had happened.
Agent Liu told her what he had just heard from the chief director. If there were too many negative rumors, they would have to reconsider the casting.
"Quickly tell me what exactly happened at that time."
Su Yanke told him everything in detail. The more Agent Liu listened, the deeper his frown became. He ran his hand through his already thin hair, making it a mess.
"Wait, you said Mr. Yuan took you away?"
Su Yanke nodded in response.
"Can you contact him? As long as he comes out to testify for you, this matter will be easier to handle."
Su Yanke thought for a while and realized that she didn't have Mr. Yuan's contact information.
Agent Liu was so worried that several of his hairs turned white. He told Su Yanke not to go out these days. He would use his connections to see if he could ease the situation.
Su Yanke nodded obediently. She was also a bit curious about this matter, so she went online to see how serious it was.
"God, how can there be such a shameless person."
"Exactly. She's just a heartless beast in human form."
"These few lousy calligraphy and paintings. She even has the nerve to show them off."
"Well, now she's been caught red - handed. If I were her, I'd just kill myself on the spot. It's really embarrassing."
"I think this young lady's calligraphy and paintings are quite nice. They're not as bad as you guys say."
"God, there are still people trying to defend her. You must be a paid troll, right? How much did they pay you to sell your conscience like this?"
"Exactly, exactly. Guys, attack him, attack him."
Looking at the netizens' comments, Su Yanke raised her eyebrows and posted a comment that almost made Agent Liu vomit blood.
"A bunch of fools. These are blessing - praying paintings. They're very rare." Su Yanke also added a "fool" emoji at the end.
This post caused a huge stir. In just a few seconds, the server crashed.
Agent Liu called Su Yanke immediately. "My little ancestor! Please don't post anything else. I'm already so busy that I'm at my wit's end."
Although Su Yanke didn't know what she had done wrong, she thought it was better to listen to him. She obediently agreed.
Not long after, Agent Liu sent a message saying that the job was off. He told her to keep a low profile for a while.
Just as Su Yanke was still thinking about what "off" meant, the server was repaired.
Some of the people who had been the most aggressive in attacking others suddenly found that their accounts had been frozen. The special department, which hadn't updated in decades, suddenly sent a message.
This was the highest - level authority in the country, and its words were recorded in history.
What was even more surprising was the content of the update. "@Su Yanke, you're right. These are indeed precious blessing - praying paintings. They're priceless. And the people in the video are from our department. We're very sorry that we didn't notify you in time, causing Miss Su to suffer such a big misunderstanding. Our special department is very sorry. We apologize again. We're sorry."
Suddenly, the internet fell silent. No one said a word, as if everyone had lost their internet connection.
Who exactly was Su Yanke?
And what were these blessing - praying paintings?
Was it the wrong way I opened my eyes today?
Why do I feel like the world has suddenly become so surreal?
