25 I Will Pay For Your Loss… Two Thousand Yuan! (1/2)

Chen only smiled wordlessly as Shi Mingwei yelled at him. He wouldn't be so relaxed if he did not have his secret weapon with him. After that, Mu looked for a driver to get the authentic painting with Chen. Inside the car, Chen played with his cellphone without showing any sense of insecurity and anxiety. This made Mu feel really surprised.

He was thinking, ”This kid looks so calm. Was he telling the truth?”

Of course, Chen actually did not own the painting but he knew the artist; Tang Bohu.

Ding!

Joy filled Chen's face when his cellphone vibrated.

Tang Bohu: Good day, my God! Is there anything that I can do for you today?

This guy was the leader of the Jiangnan Four prodigies. The way he spoke was very poetic and full of intelligence.

Chen: Erm… Why am I suddenly a God now?

Tang: The Prime of Tongtian announced that he took you in as his apprentice. Although you are not yet a God, officially, you'll be one, soon enough.

Chen: I see. Actually, I need you to do me a favor today. Can you draw me a Frosty Autumn Spring Tree painting?

Tang: It is not necessary to draw one. If my god needs one, I can send it over right now.

Chen: You actually have a ready-made one with you? (Sweating emoji)

Tang: Sigh. I have trained in hell for thousands of years. At times, when I get bored, I will re-draw the artwork that I created when I was still alive. I have drawn the Frosty Autumn Spring Tree so many times that my storage room is full of it.

This Tang Bohu was just like Xiangyu. Both of them trained in hell for thousands of years. Yet, they were still not Gods yet. They had it pretty rough.

Ding!

[You have received Tang Bohu's Red Envelope.]

Tap!

The Red Envelope opened when Chen pressed on it. Inside the Red Envelope was a painting scroll.

Ding!

[Congratulation on snatching Tang Bohu's Red Envelope! You have received a Frosty Autumn Spring Tree painting. It has been stored in your treasure chest. Do you want to withdraw it?]

Chen saw clearly that the golden ”Qi” was all around the painting scroll through the Netherspirit Battlescouter. Chen knew that this painting was definitely a real deal. Also, its rarity was impeccable. His problem should be able solved by showing this painting to others.

”The Shi family is going to cry in front of me later. Of course, I can't retrieve the painting right now because Mu is sitting right beside me,” Chen thought.

He had to wait until he arrived at the dorm to withdraw it. He had to play it cool. There was great joy within him. Suddenly, Chen was shocked.

Ding!

[You have made a deal with a spirit in hell. 10 Triple Realms Merit points have been deducted from you. You have 90 points left. Your level is Ordinary People.]

”What the f*ck! I had no f*cking idea that asking for a spare painting from Tang is consider as a trade!” Chen was kind of upset.

”I get downgraded back down to ”Mundane Mortal” without me noticing it! This is a pain in the ass!”

Ding!

Tang: Thank you so much for your Triple Realms Merit Points. I'm one step closer to becoming a God!” (Three surprise emojis)

Chen quickly calmed down, realizing that it was not easy to live as a spirit in hell. It was totally fine to give him ten points.

Chen: You are most welcome! (Three Gambateh emojis)
