Chapter 728 - The Heart Broken Lady Zhao (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhao Youyue had fallen into a slump as of late. That was when her best friend Su Li, had asked her to visit the manga exhibition in Shanghai.

It was now May. Lady Zhao’s temper worsened as Jiang nan became hot and humid.

The reason for Zhao Youyue’s bad mood was simple: she was heartbroken, or at least, she was close to getting there. Of course, it had nothing to do with the events of the real world. Nothing would touch her heart there. It was the source world.

Cirilla had the “Elder Blood” which allowed her to traverse dimensions, yet she could not come into reality.

This was irrefutable proof that reality was far superior, compared to the source worlds. Other supporting factors were such as how Zhao Youyue’s character card only had limited power in reality, despite how powerful they were in their respective worlds.

If she could be as powerful as she was in the source world, she would be an actual superhuman.

After losing her “wife,” Lady Zhao had tried to distract herself with other activities. Su Li appeared just at the right time as a passionate mangaka. In their chit-chat, she mentioned to Lady Zhao about Shanghai’s grand exhibition in May. Why not join her for a short getaway?

Of course, Zhao Youyue did not turn down Su Li’s invitation. Of so many manga exhibitions she went, all of them featured cosplayers of the best quality, especially when it came to an event such as this…

This time, Su Li had invited her. With her influence in the exhibition, Lady Zhao could easily get whatever she wanted. How could the owner of the stall dare to reject Lady Zhao, who had been personally vouched for by Su Li?

Su Li was a trend chaser. When “Road to a Female Emperor” was a hot topic, she had wanted to draw a portrait of one of its characters. This time, she had not yet chosen any specific characters to be her subject.

Every time she drew something, a chatty group would talk about her “mysterious power of the east.” If she chose Olivia this time, they would inevitably say something like Su; the Great Deity is winding up for her next curse!

Su Li was well aware of the situation, and she would not risk her reputation of “Su, the Great Deity” that she had grown to love so much. Currently, Olivia was at the top of the world. What if she drew her, and Olivia only continued soaring? That would ruin her reputation as Su, the Great Deity.

Su Li was up to date on the entire “Road to a Female Emperor.” From an author’s point of view, Empress Olivia was destined to win in everything. Why would she challenge such a character?

Hence, it would be better for her not to draw Olivia. Of course, if Lady Zhao requested for it, she could always make an exception.

As Lady Zhao’s best friend, who else should draw for her but Su Li?

However, Lady Zhao had started learning how to draw on her own. She was not planning to pursue the manga or fantastical illustration stream, but rather, she was interested in oil paintings, particularly, classical western. Leonardo Da Vinci was who she hoped to someday be.

Most would only know of “Monalisa” and “The Last Supper” when Da Vinci is mentioned, but few would know him as the rare genius he actually was!

His thoughts were always out of the box. He was a remarkable painter, astronomist, inventor and civil engineer. He excelled in sculpturing, music, invention and architecture, arithmetics, biology, physics, astronomy, geography and so on. Talented and hardworking, his handwritten notebook comprised of 6000 pages. All of his hard work and research were in that notebook. Einstein believed that if Da Vinci ever published his research while he was alive, global technology would have been pushed forward by 30 to 50 years.
