    ===


    Fang Lan had been a disciple of the main court for ten years already. Her talent was evaluated as good, which in the eyes of the outside world could be considered a "genius."


    She had an unconstrained character. In her speech, she was carefree, without unnecessary twists, and a cheerful smile never left her face.


    Moreover, as far as Xie Qing could see, she didn''t care how people looked at her. Otherwise, there were no other exnations for why she was lounging around in a rather... negligent outfit.


    "It seems she is one of those carefree girls," Xie Qing thought and averted his gaze from her nipples, which were showing through the semi-transparent clothing. Then, to avoid embarrassing the girl further, he said aloud: "Sister... for the portrait, you need to choose good clothes. I will wait for you here, in the living room."


    "Hm? Oh, that''s right! You''re right! I just bought a dress the other day that would be suitable for a portrait!" Fang Lan said and added: "I''ll be right there! In the meantime, sit on the couch and wait for me!"


    And after that, she ran inside. Xie Qing smiled and sat on the couch and after a few seconds...


    "Kyayaya!"


    "Ay-ay-ay... my ears" heined, but remembering her nipples, which were visible through the semi-transparent clothing, he thought with a serious expression: "One way or another, I''ll consider thispensation."


    ...Well, he was a bit shameless in such situations.


    Fortunately for him, Fang Lan returned in an elegant red dress. She stood before him in all her beauty, but her face was flushed, and she looked away, not daring to meet Xie Qing''s gaze.


    "You look very beautiful, Sister Fang," Xie Qingplimented her with a calm expression, and then smiled, pointing to the chair: "I think you need to sit on the chair so I can draw you, okay?"


    "A-alright..."


    Fang Lan blushed again, but this time the reason was that Xie Qing had given her such apliment. She sat in front of him, and after some time, while the young man set up the equipment, she was already calm.


    "All right. You will have to stay still for about twenty minutes. I hope you understand," Xie Qing said and picked up the brush.


    "All right."


    Fang Lan nodded. She was prepared for this, as drawing a portrait was a difficult task, especially when it was necessary to draw beautifully and with high quality. Therefore, she mentally prepared herself to sit in one ce.


    Xie Qing, meanwhile, did not waste time and began to draw her. Although at first, it was not clear what woulde of it, with each minute, he almost perfectly depicted all the features of her face, and even her dress was conveyed on the canvas with perfect uracy.


    This was the great skill of Master Xie Qing, "The Brush of Ten Thousand Colors," which allowed him to draw women with 100% uracy. Unfortunately, it did not work on men.


    Once, Xie Qing''s father asked him to draw him so that he could hang the portrait in his office, but in the end, no matter how hard the young man tried, the result was one... Xie Hai turned into a stickman!


    After that, Xie Hai became even more convinced that his son was abnormal. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why they did not get along.


    By the way, an important fact was that most often, maids approached Xie Qing and asked him to draw them... naked. Yes, you understood correctly.


    They undressedpletely and sat in the most varied provocative poses, waiting for the young man to draw them. This was a strange fetish that appeared at some point in time, and many even paid Xie Qing for it.


    To his great regret, his mother, Xie Meiling, found out about this and immediately stopped the actions of the maids, considering them too shameful. And he was scolded for it.


    And so, after twenty minutes, half of the portrait was ready. The approximate appearance of Fang Lan was already visible, so Xie Qing had only to focus on her face.


    But at that moment, they were interrupted by a knock on the door.


    Knock-knock-knock!


    "Hm?"


    Xie Qing shuddered at this loud sound and almost smeared the canvas. He immediately frowned, being unhappy. The same reaction was from Fang Lan.


    "What is this pig trying to break down my door?!" Fang Lan angrily shouted, jumped up from her ce, and opened the door.


    "Ay!"


    Since the door opened outward, the person standing behind the door yelled in pain when the door hit him right in the face with all its might.


    Fang Lan looked at the intruder and frowned.


    "Bai Bai. How can you exin your piggish behavior?! Are you trying to break my door? Watch out, or I''ll break your face!" Fang Lan shouted, and her voice was so piercing that many disciples of the main court heard her.


    "Y-you..."


    Bai Bai lost the power of speech. He ignored the pain in his nose and looked at Fang Lan. He noticed her beautiful appearance and blushed, but remembering his goal, he straightened up.


    "Sister Fang, why don''t we calm down? I know I''m to me for disturbing your peace," Bai Bai said with a polite smile, but one could see a spark of anger in his eyes. Then he asked curiously: "You look so beautiful that I almost thought that an Immortal Fairy had finally descended from the Heavens. Are you going somewhere?"


    "Hmph, what business is it of yours about my personal life? If you don''t have anything important, then get lost!" Fang Lan rudely replied and was already beginning to close the door.


    "No, wait."


    However, she could not close itpletely, as the door was held by Bai Bai, whose face showed a hint of anger. He could not help but be annoyed by this woman who insulted him over and over again.


    "Fang Lan, I''ll get to the point. Who is that bastard who came to you recently?" he asked, immediately revealing his goal.


    "Hm?"


    Fang Lan, of course, was somewhat surprised by such a question. She expected that this annoying worm would continue to try to invite her on a date, while she would refuse him.


    "What business is it of yours? I don''t remember that you yed an important role in my life to allow yourself to be so curious," Fang Lan rudely replied and released her Qi, already beginning to get annoyed: "Now get out!!"


    A loud explosion sounded in the main court when a strong stream of Qi burst out of her body and hit Bai Bai, pushing him away and making him roll on the dirty ground.


    "..."


    The door mmed shut with a loud bang. Bai Bai had a shocked expression on his face, as Fang Lan had never dared to do such a thing before, even if she was very annoyed.


    However, the shock on his face quickly turned into anger, and his face turned red with shame. He felt countless gazes of disdain and mockery from the disciples.


    "Damn! Slut! You''ll pay for this..." he began to mutter, but remembering her family, he could only fall silent.


    However, very soon, his anger moved to Xie Qing. Although he did not know this disciple, finding out about someone from the inner sect was easy for him.


    Bai Bai maliciously smiled. He did not intend to leave this disgrace. Although Xie Qing had not done anything like this to him, he wanted to get rid of thepetitor.


    "I''ll see if this bastard can ignore the fact that his family is in the shit!" he thought and quickly left, avoiding the gazes of the disciples.


    ...But he could not even think about what consequences there would be in the future.


    ***


    "Are you done?" Xie Qing asked, who had almost finished making the portrait. Since he had already fixed Fang Lan''s appearance in his head.


    "Yes. He was just an annoying bastard who didn''t know his limits. Because of his family, he thinks he''s above everyone else. How disgusting," Fang Lan answered his question, her voice sounding disappointed and annoyed. She cursed Bai Bai relentlessly: "This bastard didn''t calm down even after I refused him more than a hundred times! Still wants to see me as his wife?


    Pfft, dream on!"


    "Hmm-m-m? Well, that''s natural."


    "Eh?"


    Fang Lan made a surprised sound and looked at Xie Qing, not understanding what he meant. So the young man decided to correct his words.


    "I meant that Sister Fang is very beautiful, so she will get a lot of attention. And considering that you are talented, one can say that you have a good future," Xie Qing answered, not looking away from the canvas. All this time he did not look at her and only drew the portrait: "You have a first-ss appearance.


    I looked at your body and face for a whole twenty minutes, so I can say that you are the winner of life."


    "D-did you?" Fang Lan stammered and looked at Xie Qing in amazement. Her face turned red, making her quickly forget about her anger.


    "I wouldn''t lie," Xie Qing said with a charming smile, finally looking into her eyes.


    "Th-this..."


    Fang Lan blushed deeply and hid her face behind her hands. She could not believe that the young man, who was twenty years younger than her, was trying to flirt with her! However...


    The girl could not deny the fact that she was very sweet from Xie Qing''s words. Compared to other men, she felt that he spoke very sincerely.


    This made her go crazy with embarrassment!


    Meanwhile, Xie Qing bitterly smiled, realizing that he had overdone it a bit.


    "I didn''t mean to flirt with her, but it still turned out that way... Sigh, Heavens! Who asked you to endow me with such a beautiful appearance? Tsk, tsk, tsk" he shook his head, heavily sighing.


    ...Someone strangle him, please.
