It didn't take long for Su Changzhao to memorize all the calligraphy.

She just put down her pen and picked up the drawing paper and blew on it.

This is a habit developed from years of painting. It is easy to get scratches if the ink is not dry yet, and the painting will be ruined.

Repainting would be a hassle.

But before he pursed his lips and blew twice, the drawing paper was quickly taken away by a long finger from the opposite side.

"..."Su Changzhao still kept blowing.

The other person had already taken it in his hand and looked at it for a moment.

In order to make sure that Su Changzhao was not fooling him, Yu Jiuchen took out the original version for comparison.

Seeing this, Su Changzhao pursed her lips, but since her life was at stake, she quickly stood up and walked over, sticking her head out to compare with the other party.

"That's great!" A joyful voice suddenly came to my ears.

Yu Jiuchen suddenly threw away the two pieces of calligraphy in his hand, as if they were no longer important.

He looked at Su Changzhao beside him, his eyes shining: "The painter is truly gifted. He can paint what he sees with just one glance. He is truly a genius!"

Su Changzhao saw that he suddenly became polite and praised him. Instead of being happy, he felt a little scared:

"Haha." She laughed dryly twice, "You are too kind, sir. But," she paused, "I think you took so much trouble to bring me back, it shouldn't be as simple as asking me to draw Sanskrit calligraphy, right?"

His eyes couldn't help but fall on the two pieces of calligraphy on the ground that were discarded by Yu Jiuchen.

Yu Jiuchen immediately realized that the painter in front of him was also a smart person.

"The painter is a wise man, so I won't beat around the bush."

Su Changzhao heard this and responded with a smile.

Then Yu Jiuchen told the truth: "I asked the painter to come back because I have a request for him. I want to ask the painter to stay in the Demon Palace for a while and draw a picture for me every day."

"Just one?"

Yu Jiuchen smiled and said, "Yes, just one."

"How many days will it take to paint?" Su Changzhao had to ask clearly.

Yu Jiuchen: "Draw until I say it's over."

“…”

"Don't worry, painter. I won't let anyone work for nothing. During the period of your painting, I will pay you one thousand taels per day."

"One thousand taels for a painting?" Su Changzhao was not surprised by the amount of money, but was wondering what Yu Jiuchen asked her to paint.

What kind of drawing is worth this amount?

Yu Jiuchen thought about where she lived and guessed that she had been poor for so many years because Brother Leopard withheld her painting royalties, so she had never seen such a large sum of money.

"Yes, one thousand taels. Don't ask why, because I think it's worth it."

“……” He is really rich and powerful.

I don’t know how long I will stay here, and I can’t spend all the money I was given.

She was thinking one thing in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she pretended to be very happy and satisfied: "Okay, then it's settled, but I have one condition."

"you say."

"I don't live here. I have to go down the mountain before nightfall every day."

Yu Jiuchen was stunned when he heard this: "You mean, you want to go back to your shabby house?"

He obviously couldn't believe that someone would give up the high bed and soft pillows here to live in a small, shabby place with bare walls and windy corners.

"Hey, how can you talk like that? That place is my home after all. I didn't steal or rob. I also promised to help you paint. A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. If you don't agree, I won't help you paint. You can find someone else."

After Su Changzhao finished speaking, he made a gesture to leave.

But before he took a few steps, someone grabbed his shoulder.

Su Changzhao felt a slight pain in his shoulder and immediately pretended to be seriously injured, howling, "Ah! It hurts! It's broken! I can't paint with a broken arm!"

After hearing her last sentence, the other party quickly came to his senses and let go.

"Are you okay?" He asked with concern.

Su Changzhao was very proud because she finally knew the opponent's weakness. She turned around and frowned and said unhappily: "You want to kill someone~"

Yu Jiuchen suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes. He really wanted to kill someone. It can be said that if Su Changzhao's behavior just now had happened under normal circumstances, she would have died long ago.

But there was no other way. Yu Jiuchen still had a great use for her, so he had to endure it.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he compromised and said, "Okay, I promise you, you can go back before nightfall every day. However, you have to agree to two conditions of mine."

"you say."

"First, keep it secret. You must not tell anyone about your visit to the Demon Palace, or what you see or hear in the Demon Palace. This also includes not revealing a single word of what you draw every day, including showing it to other people."

"I definitely have the basic professional ethics. Don't worry."

Su Changzhao patted his chest.

Seeing that she was speaking very seriously, Yu Jiuchen felt like laughing.

"What about the second one?" Su Changzhao asked anxiously.

"The second one is that no matter what your reason is, you have to come to the Demon Palace to paint every day. You can leave when you finish painting. Even if it conflicts with your departure time, you must finish the painting I want first."

"This..." Su Changzhao seemed a little embarrassed.

Yu Jiuchen's eyes began to turn cold again: "Can't you do it?"

Su Changzhao thought for a while: I went back to guard the teleportation point, but according to the nature of the previous world, Hongyue doesn't seem to come out before I help Yu Jiuchen complete something, and if I don't agree, the bloodthirsty Yu Jiuchen will definitely kill me to silence me.

Oh, never mind, I'd better agree to it. If not, I'll just be more skillful when painting next time.

"Okay, I promise."

Seeing that Su Changzhao finally agreed, Yu Jiuchen's expression was relieved, and a warm look appeared on his handsome face again.

Su Changzhao felt that he was a moody person and not easy to deal with, so he could only say, "Then shall we start painting from today?"

She had to figure out what to paint.

Yu Jiuchen said, "No hurry, let's start tomorrow. If you don't want to stay, I can ask Mo Yu to pick you up every day."

"..." Su Changzhao originally wanted to refuse, but when he thought about it, when they came here, it was Mo Yu who brought her all the way here using Qinggong, so they were able to get to the Demon Palace from the small town within half an hour.

If she were alone, it would probably take a long time.

Isn't it nice to have a free human-powered scooter?

"Okay, then I'll go back today and come back tomorrow."

Yu Jiuchen nodded to show his approval, and then watched her leave.

After Su Chang made his move, Mo Yu appeared soon.

She was still smiling as she did when I first met her.

"You are still alive, little painter~"

"..."Su Changzhao suddenly felt that the master and servant were of the same kind and neither of them could speak.

On the surface: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm still alive."

"Haha~" Mo Yu patted her back cheerfully, almost making her faint.

She quickly dodged Mo Yu's second attack, which missed.

"I didn't expect you to be shy, painter."

"Guardian Mo is a martial artist. I'm afraid you might break my hand with a heavy blow. Your master will chop off your hand tomorrow."

Mo Yu immediately became timid when he heard this, and put away his laughter and claws, "Yes, yes, you reminded me." He was about to hug Su Changzhao again to express his gratitude, but when he saw her frail little body and what she had just said, he immediately gave up the idea.

"Come on, I'll take you down the mountain."

This time Su Changzhao didn't say anything because she was waiting for him to say that.

·

Back to town.

Seeing the crowds on the street and hearing the noise, Su Changzhao felt a lot more at ease.

This is probably what they mean by "there is no place like home, no place like home".

No matter how good the magic palace is, it is not as good as the small town where I have lived for a long time~

"Now that I've sent you here, I'll go back. I'll pick you up at your house tomorrow morning." Mo Yu said.

Su Changzhao nodded and waved to him, but suddenly seemed to remember something and just when he chased after him, the man had disappeared.

His shoulders slumped. "You're running so fast! At least give me some silver so I can take care of my food!"

There's no point saying anything now as it's still early.

Su Changzhao felt that it was better to rely on himself than on others. It would be more practical to go home and paint a few paintings and then go to Brother Bao to exchange some money.

After arriving home.

Fortunately, I didn't take anything with me when I left, so the drawing paper, pens, ink and other things are still there.

So she perfectly reproduced last night's masterpiece.

The previous ones had already been taken away by Yu Jiuchen.

So if she wanted to get money, she had to redraw it.

Maybe because I had already drawn it once, this time it only took me less than half the time it took last night to finish it.

"Well, take these to find Brother Bao, exchange them for money, and then go to the next street to buy a roast duck. Perfect~"

He put the painting scroll into a bamboo tube and went out carrying it on his back.

I came to the wine shop that Brother Bao often went to and asked around -

"What did you say? Brother Leopard ran away?"

Su Changzhao said to someone in surprise.

The other party clapped his hands and said, "Yes, he ran away yesterday and asked me to bring you a message."

"What did he say?"

"Tell you to take care of yourself. They said you had offended someone from the Demon Palace. You don't know their long moves. Two young masters came yesterday. Oh, their martial arts skills. I didn't even see how they attacked. Brother Bao was pinned to the ground..."

Su Changzhao half listened and half nodded. Through the other party's description, she roughly guessed that the people who came to find Brother Bao and scared Brother Bao away should be Yu Jiuchen and Mo Yu.

So that's how it is.

They found their home through Brother Leopard.

Damn Brother Leopard, he ran away at the critical moment without even notifying anyone. This guy is really something.

Although Su Changzhao had complaints, he would not really blame anyone.

After all, this is how the world works, where the strong prey on the weak.

How could Brother Bao, a small-time henchman who is not even considered a martial arts master, be a match for Yu Jiuchen?

Based on what he saw in the Demon Palace today, Su Changzhao guessed that Yu Jiuchen must be a powerful person in the Demon Palace. If he was not the Palace Master, he was at least a guardian. However, the possibility of him being the Palace Master was higher.

Because Su Changzhao had already seen his kung fu yesterday. Martial arts are respected in the martial arts world, and this is especially true in the Demon Palace.

With Yu Jiuchen's current strength, it is reasonable for him to sit in the position of Palace Master.

Being troubled by the Demon Palace Lord himself, Brother Leopard has no chance of winning at all.

It is impossible for Brother Leopard to offend the entire Demon Palace for her, so it is understandable and excusable.

After coming out of the winery, Su Changzhao shook the bamboo tube behind him, but couldn't find Brother Bao, so all these paintings were in vain.

If the paintings can’t be sold, she will have no money, and without money, she will go hungry tonight.

Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly remembered that the original owner had followed Brother Bao before, and at that time the original owner wanted to see what he did with her paintings.

Su Changzhao now possesses all the memories of the original owner, so she quickly remembered a place.

She decided to try her luck there.
