Spending the Villain’s Money to Extend My Life

Chapter 240 - Was she about to go from fiancée to wife officially? (4)

Gu Shishi dipped her brush into some clear water.

[Channel Master, I still like you a lot, but lying is very unbecoming.]

[Let’s do it. I am wagering 190 latiao!]

[I will wager my entire fortune – 3,400 gold coins. That’s all I’ve got.]

Never mind about the others. Even Luo Zheng, who had a pretty good idea about Gu Shishi’s ability, had his doubts.

Fixing a painting was only too difficult.

Especially when she was starting with lines that resembled radiation lines.

Hearing Gu Shishi’s words, Luo Zheng looked back over at the “painting” in front of her.

He stared at it for an extended amount of time and finally frowned and shook his head.

Nope. Not possible. It was hopeless.

There were simply too many random lines. How could she possibly alter them? It wasn’t like she could color it all black.

What kind of a painting would it be if she was to paint 2/3 of it black?

What kind of aesthetics would there be left?

Luo Zheng sighed.

The audiences in the streaming channel carried on with their wagers.

But Gu Shishi remained very calm.

She gave the painting paper another look, smiled, and started with her brush.

“I can save this.”

“I am going to start now.”

Having said that, she started with her brush.

She added a few dots here and there and the meaningless crisscrossed lines on the left-hand side turned into two to three chrysanthemums.

As for the meaningless lines on the right-hand side, she added a few strokes and smeared them with some water. With a few extra thin strokes as patterns, the original lines were turned clothing flowing in the wind.

And then there were the straight lines. Gu Shishi quickly added a few additional strokes and then they were turned into a nice and smooth jade ruyi.

Last but not the least, all the other random lines that were deemed hopeless, with a few major hooks and lifts from Gu Shishi, were converted into either long hair that cascaded down to the ground, or folds on the clothes, or boulders, weeds, or wild flowers…

After just a short while, the wagers in the streaming channel began to decrease significantly.

All of the rantings have come to a grinding halt.

The one who just claimed to be an art major no longer made a sound.

As the facts were laid out in front of their eyes.

All the doodling that they had all deemed to be hopeless had been turned into part of a painting!

Not only were her modifications sensible. The lines and colors were natural. And, most importantly, the finally products made everybody gasped.

[Dang! Painting of a beautiful, drunken man!]

On the paper under Gu Shishi’s brush was a long hair, beautiful man who was drunk and lying on the ground. Lying casually on the ground next to him was a fancy jade ruyi, a wine pot, and a wine cup. There was even an ancient zither (guqin) with patterns of water on it. It seemed as though he was singing lightly in his chic, handsome, and unruly way…

[Darn! A truly elegant gentleman, jade on ears and stars on hat.]

[Hey there, previous poster. Stop showing off! I don’t get it! Darn!]

[Let me explain it for you:- This beautiful man, there are black and deep eyes on his clear and pale face. They exude a star like charm. His beautiful lips reflected a charming glow and make one wants to taste it!]

[Ugh. It’s truly scary to be so uncultured. The context was jade next to his ears and gems sparkling like starts on his hat, get it?]

[Eh? Looks like Channel Master was more cultured than me?]

[I thought the point was that Channel Master had successfully altered the painting and did such a good job at that!!!]

[6666. My mom just asked me why I was watching a streaming channel on my knees!]

[This Channel Master is better than a professor at an art institution!]

The compliments made Gu Shishi blushed a little.

But her lips curved upward uncontrollably.

She had gotten better.

Master, it had been so many years but she had finally got to the next level!

She being drunk once and painted over ten beautiful man paintings fluidly, she was able to bring out the temperament and spirit of an unruly man so effortlessly.

That was definitely not something she could achieve in the past.

In the past, there was Li Bai who recited a poem while he was drunk and it was passed on for millenniums.

Now there was Gu Shishi who painted a masterpiece after she was drunk.

Tsk, tsk, tsk!
