"Oh dear! If only we had done this earlier, we wouldn't have been punished by God!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
"Come on, you two lie down properly. I'll make God take back the punishment he gave you!" Liu Xiaoyuan made Dongfang Bai and Ye Zi lie down on the ground like feeding two dogs.
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Bai and Ye Ziqi dared not have any objection. They immediately lay down on the ground, neatly aligned, and looked at Liu Xiaoyuan with pleading eyes, hoping that this feeling of being worse than dead would disappear quickly!
"That's more like it. Good boy!" Liu Xiaoyuan patted their heads, just like he would pat the head of his family's stray dog.
Then, Liu Xiaoyuan casually touched the two of them with his finger, and the feeling of being worse than dead immediately disappeared.
"Alright, you two, you can stand up now and fulfill your bet!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
But just as Dongfang Bai and Ye Ziqi were about to get up from the ground, Liu Xiaoyuan suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, Dongfang Bai and Ye Ziqi were so frightened that they quickly stopped what they were doing and remained in their current positions.
"Since you're going to bark like a dog, then you should naturally make a dog's gesture. Here's what we'll do: you two put your hands on the ground, make a dog's gesture, and bark like a dog!" Liu Xiaoyuan said.
It's embarrassing enough to imitate a dog barking, but to make them lie on their hands and knees and bark like a dog is even more embarrassing.
"It doesn't seem like the bet agreement included such a requirement?" Dongfang Bai asked with a bitter face.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "If you're going to bark like a dog, you should at least act like one. Is there any need to say more? If you two are unwilling, then you can expect another punishment from God!"
Dongfang Bai and Ye Ziqi aren't fools. This so-called divine punishment is clearly Liu Xiaoyuan's doing.
They would rather die than experience that feeling again, because in just a short while, they were in so much pain that their foreheads were covered in sweat and their clothes were soaked!
To avoid experiencing that near-death feeling again, Dongfang Bai and Ye Ziqi lay down on the ground and started barking like dogs.
"Hey everyone! Quick, take out your phones and take pictures! This kind of opportunity is rare. If you miss this chance, you might never see it again in your life!" Liu Xiaoyuan urged.
Everyone agreed that this made sense; such an opportunity might only come once in a lifetime, and it was not something to be missed.
So, at Liu Xiaoyuan's urging, everyone took out their phones and recorded Dongfang Bai and Ye Ziqi lying on the ground barking like dogs.
As Dongfang Bai and Ye Ziqi finished imitating the three dog barks, the system's voice rang in Shao Yitian's mind.
"Congratulations to player Liu Xiaoyuan for successfully showing off and getting slapped in the face! You have gained 800 experience points!"
With the increase of 800 experience points, Liu Xiaoyuan's level immediately rose to level 7, and his summoning authority also changed from summoning a mid-level expert once a day to summoning three times a day.
As for the reward, there is no reward yet. This did not disappoint Liu Xiaoyuan, because he was too greedy and could not master it. Liu Xiaoyuan had not even fully mastered the Prajna Palm yet. Even if he were given another secret manual, he would only lose sight of the bigger picture!
However, as his level increased, Liu Xiaoyuan felt his cultivation had improved. Although he was still at the peak of Dark Force and hadn't yet reached Transformation Force, Liu Xiaoyuan felt that he had already stepped into Transformation Force with one foot in, just waiting for an opportunity.
Having just learned to bark like a dog, Dongfang Bai and Ye Ziqi were too ashamed to stay and immediately slunk away.
"Mr. Liu, could you please give me your contact information?" Li Chenggong stepped forward and asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan asked, "Why do you need my contact information?"
Li Chenggong didn't hide anything and said directly, "I would like to ask Mr. Liu some questions about calligraphy. Could you please give me your contact information?"
Seeing that Li Chenggong didn't seem like a hypocrite, Liu Xiaoyuan gave him his phone number.
After obtaining Liu Xiaoyuan's phone number, Li Chenggong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Mr. Liu, could you write a few words for me? I would like to take your calligraphy back and study it!"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "******, to be honest, my calligraphy is very expensive. Are you sure you want it?"
Li Chenggong asked, "Mr. Liu, what is the value of your calligraphy?"
Liu Xiaoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Considering your humble attitude in asking questions, I'll charge you 10,000 yuan per word. If you think it's acceptable, I'll write it for you!"
Liu Xiaoyuan's assessment is still too low. You should know that Liu Xiaoyuan summoned the real Emperor Huizong of Song, whose calligraphy is worth more than ten thousand yuan per character.
It's worth noting that one year, Emperor Huizong of Song's calligraphy, "Copy of the Tang Dynasty Huaisu's Holy Mother Calligraphy," sold for HK$128 million at auction, setting a record for the highest price ever paid for a Chinese painting or calligraphy work at a global auction.
This "Holy Mother's Calligraphy" only has 409 characters in total, which means each character costs an average of 300,000 to 400,000!
It is clear that the price Liu Xiaoyuan offered Li Chenggong was incredibly cheap! It was an absolute steal, a rock-bottom price!
However, in other people's eyes, Shao Yitian's price was a bit too high. Ten thousand per word, if your sister writes a hundred words a day, that would be a million!
After thinking about it for a while, Li Chenggong, the person involved, finally nodded in agreement.
“Alright, Mr. Liu, please leave your calligraphy!” Li Chenggong said.
"No problem, please lay out the Xuan paper!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
