The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 765 - 520: Xi Caught Peeping

Although the speed is very slow, it is still extremely incredible.

You must understand that the size and capacity of the Sea of Spirit have what is called a marginal effect; the larger and more solid it is, the harder it is to enhance.

Yet, when Lin Guang’s Sea of Spirit capacity was forcibly expanded by Level 3 Full Heart and Full Spirit Power to be no less than the Same Tier Golden Talent, reaching the level of a super numerical monster, there is unexpectedly still something that can increase his Sea of Spirit size.

Such a great thing, no matter how difficult, must be swallowed up!

Must seize it well!

...

After a long time, the "Age Bone" in his hand was finally completely ground down, transforming into a thin layer at the bottom of the inkstone, exuding a liquid that shimmered with an enchanting glow.

Lin Guang finally let out a breath, feeling the exhaustion and fullness simultaneously emanating from his Sea of Spirit.

That’s a feeling that hasn’t been experienced in a long time, similar to the feeling after excessive meditation in the past.

Though tired, knowing everything is moving toward a better direction.

Meanwhile, Xi had been observing Lin Guang by the side, seeing that he finally finished grinding this piece of jade stone, the worry in her crimson vertical pupils finally calmed down.

She nodded: "That’s enough."

"We’ll stop here for today, you may return now."

"From now on, continue to come here once every two weeks."

"But next time, besides grinding ink, you should continue to hone your painting skill."

Lin Guang felt not the slightest pressure but instead looked delighted: "Thank you, teacher!"

——This kind of good thing happens every two weeks? How delightful is that?

Although not much each time, over time, the capacity of the Sea of Spirit will surely rise by several more layers.

Have to admit.

Not only is it generous, it is rather grand.

Though Teacher Xi is damp and loves to spy, likes to act like a reclusive expert, likes to shut herself indoors and be tricky...

But the benefits she offers are truly given!

Lin Guang let out a long breath, looking around at this messy studio, then at her cheongsam, thought for a while, and suddenly chuckled:

"Teacher, your studio seems a bit messy."

"Let me help you tidy it up."

Xi paused slightly in her movements.

She glanced at Lin Guang with slight surprise, seeming to not expect such a request, paused in silence for a moment, but finally nodded lightly, without refusing.

Lin Guang moved swiftly, rolling up the paintings treated as miscellaneous items, placing them neatly in a corner of the studio that looked like a bookshelf, then gathering the scattered things that seemed to be paint back into place.

Finally, he went to the painting he and Xi had just stepped over in the studio.

Lin Guang extended his finger, using it as a brush, mobilizing the four Spirit Patterns he had just understood slightly, gently swiping over it.

The next moment,

That painting was like a canvas rendered by an invisible brush, the frame began to turn transparent, the angle began to shift slightly.

No longer the feeling of overlooking from above, but connected with this studio.

In an instant, pavilion, landscape, clouds and mist in this angle finally truly transformed into a gigantic floor-to-ceiling window, showing the specific scenery within.

Then a fresh mountain breeze instantly flowed into this long stuffy studio, sweeping away the somewhat stale air, refreshing the soul.

Lin Guang set down the brush, looking expectantly at the Dragon Maiden teacher behind him.

"Blindly modifying."

Xi slightly hesitated, then revealed a seemingly disdainful expression: "Messing with my setup, you think you’re clever?"

But Lin Guang showed not the slightest guilt or unease, instead with a slight smile: "Living long in such a cramped, static place, people can grow moldy, teacher."

He suddenly spoke with implied meaning: "Even if you have eyes to observe the outside world, it’s the same."

"...!"

Xi’s expression suddenly stiffened.

The next moment, a lovely blush rose on her cheeks.

Lin Guang seemed not to see, bowed slightly:

"Teacher, then I shall take my leave now."

"Thank you for your guidance."

Yet the next moment...

He suddenly discovered he didn’t know from which door to leave.

Then...

He suddenly felt a spinning sensation, like being thrown into a washing machine, whirling around for quite a while before arriving at the corridor of the first teaching building.

And in the painting,

"This little brat..."

The tone sounded somewhat gritting teeth, yet there wasn’t any anger on Xi’s face, just looking at this now refreshed studio, her crimson pupils flickered with extremely complex light.

In the next moment, she picked up the wolf hair brush, dipped it in the shimmering liquid ground out by Lin Guang, and began to paint.

...

Mid-March.

Great Yue Country.

Western Extremity.

Chizhang City.

Standing on the walls of this city, beyond the borders of Great Yue Country, the endless western wilderness clearly visible under the scorching sun.

It’s an ancient yet new dark red plateau.

The great upheaval over five hundred years ago expanded the small Blue Star countless times overnight, compressing geological movements usually measured in millions, or even tens of millions of years, into incredibly short time, creating seas and mountains overnight, conjuring this plateau filled with rolling hills and ridges.

And Chizhang City is built upon this plateau.

It is a city constructed amidst mountains and water, quite large in area, with a diameter of tens of kilometers, surrounded by a river called Zhang River.

Like the vast majority of cities, the main part of Chizhang City is enveloped by a colossal city wall of tens of meters in height, yet the wall is not made of Spirit Gold used by vibrant cities, but made locally, using dark red rammed earth mixed with Low Tier Spiritual Materials, not very high in strength, surface covered in varying depths of pits and mottled patches.
