1401 Mirage Mystifying Fan (1/2)
”I'll go talk to Grand Deity Zhen Yuan now then. I still have some time left!”
Chen Xiaobei exited the group chat and opened a private chat with the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan.
Chen Xiaobei: Grand Deity Zhen Yuan! Are you there? I have an emergency, and that I'd to ask for your help!
Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: Xiaobei! You found me at the right time! I was just going to look for you! (urgent urgent urgent)
Chen Xiaobei: Oh, Grand Deity, can it wait? I have an emergency here, life and death! Please help me solve my problem first, then we'll talk about yours!
Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: No! No! I also need saving!
Chen Xiaobei: Don't tell me…. (shocked). In the three realms, other than Heavenly Saint, who else would want to kill you?
Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: Old Leader! Old Leader is killing me! (urgent urgent urgent) The latest chapter of 'Zhu Feng the Battle God' is just wayyyy too good! But it stopped at the very crucial moment!
Chen Xiaobei: Err... (waterfall of sweat). That's such a trivial thing. Why are you so overwrought?
Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: How could this be a trivial thing? The protagonist's family are forced into a desperate life-and-death situation! I'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out how the protagonist is going to resolve this crisis! I'm an old fart! All this anxiety is going to torture me to death!
Chen Xiaobei: So, you want to me rush the author?
Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: Yes! Go tell him to write more, and be quick! If I don't read the next chapter, my entire being will suffer!
Chen Xiaobei: I can do that, but shouldn't you show some appreciation? (smirk)
Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: I thought we agreed that once the author completes 3 million words, I'll give you a Ginseng Fruit? You can't try to take advantage of me like that!
Chen Xiaobei: Don't you worry! I'm not the kind of person who goes back on my words! I just want to borrow your Mirage Mystifying Fan! I'll return it once I'm done using it!
Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: Lend you the Mirage Mystifying Fan? No, I won't! If you can convince the Old Leader to upload more, I will give you a replica! It will just be a Spiritual Instrument, but it's more than enough to be used on earth!
Chen Xiaobei: Alright! It's a deal then! You give me the Mirage Mystifying Fan replica first. I guarantee that Old Leader will write a new chapter by tonight!
Grand Deity Zhen Yuan: Alright! I trust you to do that! Get ready to collect an envelope!
Ding!
[Congratulations! You've received a red envelope from the Grand Deity Zhen Yuan! The Mirage Mystifying Fan replica has been stored inside your treasure chest!]
”Great! I've got it! Now, I still have a little bit more time. I better contact Old Leader now. I really cannot afford to disappoint the grand deity!”
Chen Xiaobei quickly went on QQ messenger to chat with Old Leader.
After a period of still keeping in touch, Chen Xiaobei and the Old Leader had built quite a good friendship.
Right now, it was not too late in the night and the Old Leader was feeling inspired, so Chen Xiaobei did not have to do much convincing, and Old Leader agreed to write one more chapter.
”I'm lucky that Old Leader is feeling inspired. If I lose Grand Deity Zhen Yuan's trust, I won't be able to face him next time. I'll just have to wait for Old Leader to finish his work now.” Chen Xiaobei exhaled.
”He's here! The artist is here!”
A shout could be heard from outside the door of the Lu Family's mansion.
One of the Lu family servants brought an old man into the mansion. The pair were walking briskly towards the living hall.
Every one of the core members of the Lu family was present.
Lu Bu was called to the living room at once.
”Mr. Lu, you can begin!” Lu Mingjun said.
”Mm!” Lu Bu nodded and then looked at the old artist and said, ”I am not a very detailed person. So, my descriptions may not be very accurate. You may need to draw a few times. Then, we can pick from the paintings that you have drawn.”
”That's not a problem at all. That's the role of a sketch artist. I will do my best!” The old artist spoke confidently, but there was a weariness in his eyes.
