Qiao Zhen smiled and said, "Young Master Xun, I came to see you today because of your reputation. I also wish to request a painting. If it satisfies both of us, you will surely reward us handsomely."
Ye Shangzhou looked at Qiao Zhen, who was acting like a fox borrowing the tiger's power, and found her extremely cute. He tightened his grip on Qiao Zhen's hand slightly, "Yes, but if you can't satisfy Madam, you'll be in big trouble."
Xun Yin stood up. He felt that the style of the painting by Lin Xiandi (Ye Shangzhou) might be a little off. Wasn't he supposed to be cruel and ruthless? He didn't dare to think too much about it. "If you and your wife have time, I can paint it today."
Qiao Zhen nodded in satisfaction, "Very good."
Nightfall Boat was left to Qiao Zhen's whims.
Qiao Zhen bent down, picked up Ye Shangzhou, and placed him on the stone bench. She then stood beside him, her eyes filled with tender affection as she looked at him. "Young Master Xun, how about painting this scene?"
When Ye Shangzhou looked up, he met Qiao Zhen's eyes, which were filled with such doting affection that they seemed capable of drowning him.
"no!"
"Hmm?" Qiao Zhen was a little surprised. Ye Shangzhou's rejection was quite vehement. She looked over in confusion, "What's wrong? What do you think is wrong?"
"Ahem." Ye Shangzhou coughed lightly. "Painting takes a long time. If you stand, your legs will ache."
Xun Yin remained silent for a moment, then interrupted Qiao Zhen before he could answer, "Young master, I have an excellent memory. If you and your wife make any other movements while painting, I can draw them too, so there's no need to worry about these things."
Qiao Zhen didn't think any further. "Since that's the case, let's leave it at this setting?"
Ye Shangzhou had no reason to object, and Qiao Zhen had already given him face, so he said, "Then so be it."
Qiao Zhen stood beside Ye Shangzhou, holding his hand. Ye Shangzhou would occasionally look up and meet Qiao Zhen's gaze. He always felt shy and couldn't help but lower his head. But after lowering his head, he felt that it was Qiao Zhen who should be shy. So he repeated the two actions of looking at Qiao Zhen and shyly lowering his head.
Xiao Ling: [Side quest completed. Information received: Xun Yin is the nephew of the hermit healer.]
Qiao Zhen: [Is there a second side quest?]
Xiao Ling: [Side Quest Two: Discuss Xun Yin's family background. This requires a private conversation between the two of you.]
Qiao Zhen: [Why do we need to be alone together?]
Xiao Ling: [Because that hermit healer was also an assassin; he was the one who assassinated Ye Shangzhou, and Ye Shangzhou's legs were crippled because of him. Also, Xun Yin is quite skilled with his hands; you could have him try making a wheelchair.]
Qiao Zhen: [What a hero! I'll accept this side quest too.]
Xiao Ling: [...So we can't let the hero die! If you can't make Ye Shangzhou a wise ruler, we can only settle for second best and let Ye Huaijin ascend the throne. At least that will ensure the prosperity of the Great Ye Dynasty. As long as the system's mission can be completed, you can continue with the system's mission. The main system definitely has a treaty with your god. Let me tell you, our main system isn't very bright. If you live, your mission targets might still live, but if you die, both of you will definitely die.]
Qiao Zhen: […What can I do? I'm desperate too. I'm struggling to even protect myself.]
Xiao Ling: [I helped you! I gave some of the memories from the last mission to Ye Shangzhou. Doesn't he like to sleep on you now? Go seduce him! Make him completely obsessed, and he'll do whatever you say!]
Qiao Zhen: [Your system is so shameless! How can you encourage your host like this?]
Xiao Ling: [No, there's no such special case as yours. Other hosts just move to another world if they fail their mission, but you failing your mission is fatal!]
Qiao Zhen: [I'll seduce him, please provide support whenever needed, thank you.]
Xiao Ling: [Completely OK.]
Two hours later, Xun Yin's painting was finished, depicting Ye Shangzhou blushing and looking down shyly. "Young Master, Madam, please take a look."
Qiao Zhen looked at the two people above. Although her chest was still small, Ye Shangzhou's shy expression was quite rare. Qiao Zhen nodded, "Very good."
Ye Shangzhou sat on the stone bench. He couldn't see the painting, but he wanted to see Qiao Zhen's large breasts. He said in a serious tone, "Let me see."
Ye Huaijin and Xun Yin exchanged glances, while Qiao Zhen couldn't hide her smile. Ye Shangzhou thought they had seen Qiao Zhen's large breasts and immediately became jealous, "What are you standing there for? Waiting for me to order your death?"
Qiao Zhen suppressed a laugh, picked up the painting, and placed it in front of Ye Shangzhou. "This painting is so lifelike, I think it's wonderful." She leaned close to Ye Shangzhou's ear and whispered, "When you get angry again, take this painting out and look at it. Maybe it will calm you down."
Enraged, Ye Shangzhou rolled up the painting and shouted, "Guards, return to the palace!"
Qiao Zhen chuckled softly. Facing Ye Shangzhou's angry glare, she carried him in a princess carry. Ye Shangzhou also instinctively reached out and wrapped his arms around Qiao Zhen's neck without any awkwardness.
Xun Yin stared blankly at the scene before him. After he could no longer see Qiao Zhen and Ye Shangzhou, he raised his hand and slapped his cheek. "Smack!" It hurt a little. What he had just seen was real!
Qiao Zhen put Ye Shangzhou into the carriage, "Your Majesty, I would like to have a few more words with Xun Yin."
She withdrew her hand and left, leaving Ye Shangzhou alone in the carriage. While Qiao Zhen was away, he secretly opened the scroll. The Qiao Zhen in the painting looked at him with eyes full of affection, which pleased him greatly.
Qiao Zhen went back to Xun Yin and said, "Young Master Xun, I've heard that you are not only a superb painter, but also a skilled craftsman. I have something here that I wonder if you could make it?"
She pulled out the wheelchair diagram hidden in her sleeve and handed it to Xun Yin. "Actually, His Majesty is slowly getting better, and I also want him to get better."
