Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

swish swish...

swish swish...

The paper and pen made a scratching sound once again as they came into contact.

However, just as Qin Henian was focused on painting, he sensed two people behind him. Although he found it strange that the two people were not resting, he did not react much.

"Why didn't you go and rest after changing your clothes? Is there something you don't understand that you're all in the yard?"

Qin Henian didn't turn around, still holding his paintbrush and waving it around, but he spoke first.

"It's not that I don't want to rest, it's just that... being struck by lightning has completely spurred me out of my sleepiness!!"

Hei Xiazi glanced at Zhang Qilin beside him. The other man was still the same as always, with a serious and handsome expressionless face, his cold gaze fixed on people. He had no choice but to chat with Qin Henian first.

"Oh"

"Hey hey hey? No! Don't do this! He Nian~ We blind man and mute man just became beasts, and according to the beast's age, it's still a cub! Can you tell us why, in the instant after becoming beasts, we suddenly had some things in our minds, but now we can't remember them?"

Suddenly there's something extra? It must be about the inheritance of the Qilin and Pixiu clans! As for how to touch and receive the inheritance, that's up to them to decide.

Thinking this way, Qin Henian said the same thing to the two of them. As for whether he remembered or not, he didn't know, after all, he wasn't a beast that lived on the ground.

"I have a small question for you, blind man. He Nian, could you tell me it all at once today?"

Hei Xiazi had a bright smile on his face, and even stood next to Qin Henian's easel, looking down at the person painting.

"You ask first."

"Hey! It's nothing big. It's just that before, He Nian, you were guiding me and the mute in refining our essence blood to enhance our beasts, right? At that time, the mute and I saw that you suddenly had a pair of white wings behind you, like a white crane! But our original divine beasts say that you are not a white crane, which... is a bit contradictory, so the blind man... was a little curious, hehe...!"

Upon hearing this question, Qin Henian frowned slightly, put down his paintbrush, turned around, sat on the stool, and looked up at the two of them.

"This is a matter of my personal privacy, but strictly speaking, you two are no longer human beings, so I won't hurt to tell you."

"In ancient times, there were no humans, only three categories: birds, beasts, and fish. As the names suggest, you two have now awakened your true forms and will age according to your beast essence. You two belong to the category of beasts, which means you run on the ground! As for me, I belong to the category of birds, which means I fly in the sky! The other category is fish, which I haven't seen in this world yet. As the name suggests, fish swim in the water."

"The reason you can see that I have white crane wings instead of Bifang wings is mainly because I personally feel that my true form is too conspicuous and I don't like to expose it. So I transformed into a white crane, as white as snow, flying and traversing the clouds, going wherever I am."

Well, so they just swapped out their wings. No wonder he and the mute... no... no wonder Hei Xiazi couldn't find any information about the Bifang clan's wings being the same as the white crane's, even after searching through so much material.

Ring ring ring!

Ring ring ring!

Just then, just as Hei Xiazi was about to ask about the inheritance, his pocket suddenly emitted a bright light and vibration, along with a piercing phone ring. With no other option, he reached into his old-fashioned mobile phone and turned it on to check.

Wu San woke up with a telegram!

Damn it, why does he have to call at such a crucial moment? But then again, Wu Sanxing's call this time is probably related to the text message he sent last time.

"Hey? Third Master, what brings you to see me, a blind man, at this hour? Is some big business opportunity knocking on your door?"

"Or perhaps you'd like a blind masseur's service! If you'd like, Third Master, the blind masseur can even come to your home~ We look forward to your experience~"

As soon as the call connected, Hei Xiazi adopted a professional smile and tone, and began to launch into a long speech on the other end of the line.

Qin Henian, who was watching the phone call, almost choked on his saliva when he heard Hei Xiazi's words, and couldn't help but cough violently.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Cough cough cough...

On the other end of the phone, Wu Sanxing was about to speak when he was shut down by several questions, and his face instantly turned ashen.

"Alright, I can't handle Blackie's massage service. Seriously though, I actually have a job for you this time, wanna come?"

A middle-aged man's voice came through the phone, deep and resonant, and he seemed to be in good health.

"Hey, Third Master, don't be so polite with me, you blind man. If there's work to be done, you'll get paid. Why not come and take advantage of it!"

"Okay, this time we'll still use the street rates. I'll send the rest to your phone later!"

After hanging up the phone, Hei Xiazi put the phone back in his pocket.

Ding!

Drip!

Two beeping sounds rang out in the courtyard. Qin Henian frowned. He had just picked up his pen to continue drawing while Hei Xiazi was on the phone when the two beeps startled his hand, causing his lines to sag!

Ding Dong!

Ding Dong!

Two more sounds rang out, leaving Qin Henian speechless. It seemed that although the weather was nice and the scenery was beautiful today, it wasn't a good day for painting!

Qin Henian immediately waved his hand, and the drawing board and tools in front of him all floated up and floated back in the direction they had come from.

"You two are quite busy, the messages are all coming in at once, and there's a whole bunch of them at once!"

Qin Henian's expression was rather unpleasant, his face clearly showing his displeasure, and he spoke coldly and indifferently.

"sorry"

Zhang Qilin stood to one side, looking at his phone, then at the unhappy Qin Henian. He didn't know what to do, but after thinking for a moment, he said something.

"Oh dear, don't be angry, He Nian~ As soon as I heard that voice, I knew it was the sound of money arriving! I bet Wu Sanxing and A Ning also found a mute, and it's about the same two orders!"

"The timing and purpose are somewhat conflicting, but this Third Master is quite interesting. He actually let me and the mute infiltrate A Ning's group. Plus, A Ning already wanted us to work for her, so... tsk tsk tsk... it seems like the blind man sees a huge pile of banknotes rushing towards him like crazy!!!"

What the hell?

Qin Henian was a little curious. If what the blind man meant was that he was doing one job and getting paid two salaries, and that the money was calculated in piles... it seemed like quite a lot of money!

"But you're a Pixiu now! No matter how much money you have, it will be sucked away. All the money you haven't received yet will fly into your body and help you build a golden body!"

What? What the hell?

Pixiu is supposed to bring wealth, so why does it swallow gold?!

Upon hearing Qin Henian's words, Hei Xiazi's mind went blank for a moment. Subconsciously, he thought about the information on Pixiu... It seems that besides attracting wealth, it can also protect wealth...

No wonder...no wonder he's so stingy! It's all because of that Pixiu (a mythical creature believed to bring wealth and prosperity) in his relationships!

The little Pixiu says: What nonsense are you talking about??? I am you, and you are me, we are one beast!!
