Chapter 108: Am I Really a Genius?

Not only was she not startled by Yun Mu, but upon hearing her voice, Lita breathed a sigh of relief.

"So it's Miss Yun, you gave me a fright."

She placed one hand over her chest and said, "I thought you were a real ghost."

"Uh."

Yun Mu exited her Invisibility state, feeling somewhat awkward; she hadn't expected that even after deliberately lowering her voice, Lita would still recognize her.

"Heh, let's end the playfulness here; it's time to head back," Edward said, rising and chuckling softly.

He looked at Yun Mu and asked, "Does Miss Yun have any other business?"

"No."

Shaking her head, Yun Mu had no objections to Edward's suggestion.

It really was time to go back; she hadn't practiced her Spirituality painting skill yet today, and she also needed to add a few points to her Oil Painting of Destiny.

If she had any free time afterward, she would look at the book Elena had given her.

As for the Night of Rolling Stone Town and the comic, there was no rush for those.

Aiwei's Comic Manuscript could still last for a few more issues, so delaying it for a while wouldn't have much of an impact.

"Then let's go back," Edward said.

"Hm?" Lita, standing to the side, looked a bit bewildered.

"Why didn't you ask for my opinion?" she said, looking at Edward.

"You?" Edward looked at her strangely and said, "Aside from when you're at work, is there anything else you need to do?"

"This..." Hearing Edward's words, Lita was momentarily speechless.

Thinking about it carefully, aside from working at the Guard Hall, she really didn't seem to have anything else to busy herself with.

"Fine." She reluctantly accepted Edward's reasoning.

The three of them left the Old Witch Clothing Store under Mira's gaze, then headed straight for the Sisilaiya Cafe on Liuli Street.

Flipping the sign on the shop door back around, Edward slumped directly into his boss chair, not wanting to get up.

"Ah, it's still most comfortable at home."

Happily brewing himself a cup of coffee, Edward said this.

"Heh, lazybones," Lita chuckled dismissively, then also slumped onto the cafe sofa.

"It was hard enough to advance to a Transcendental, I'll take a day off today," she said.

"."

Yun Mu looked at the leisurely father and daughter, speechless; she could only say they were truly family.

Sigh, actually she wanted to slack off too, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

Turning to walk toward the second floor of the cafe, she returned to her room, prepared her Painting Board and painting tools, and began to paint today's oil painting.

"What should I paint today?"

Looking at the blank Painting Board, Yun Mu sat in her chair and fell into deep thought... When she came to her senses, the Painting Board was already covered in a scene of continuous heavy rain.

Dark, black clouds pressed down on the horizon, countless wild winds howled, and mottled raindrops struck a ship on the sea.

And at the edge of the ship's deck, a man soaked by the rain, wearing a pale white hood and a white-based outfit with a navy blue coat over it, was lurking cautiously.

Hanging at his waist was an exquisite, ancient-looking pistol.

"How did it end up like this..."

Yun Mu slightly supported her forehead, feeling that the Spirituality in her mind was nearly depleted. At first, she had only thought of the Sunset she heard about this morning, so she wanted to paint a ship.

Since it was a ship, there had to be a sea, right? And since there was a sea, shouldn't there be a heavy rainstorm?

With a ship, a sea, and a rainstorm, it felt like it lacked a story; it was just a ship moving through a rainstorm.

Coincidentally, Edward's name reminded her of a man, so she added an Assassin lurking at the edge of the deck.

What, you ask how this Assassin got onto this ship sailing on the ocean?

Yun Mu doesn't know~ She's just a painter, what does she know about stories?

"Since I've already painted it, I'll find a way to finish it..."

Fighting through her headache, Yun Mu added details to the painting; for instance, the pistol hanging at the Assassin's waist was the 【Blazing Sun】 she had obtained in the Dungeon.

And she also thought of the plot for this painting.

Hmm... This ship was originally the Assassin Edward's ship, and the ship's name was the Cold Crow.

Because of an accident that even Yun Mu didn't know about, Edward's ship had been occupied by another group, and his original crew was locked in the space below the deck.

What the man had to do now was release his crew and then take back his Cold Crow! That's right, that's it.

Writing the general outline of the plot in the bottom right corner of the painting, accompanied by a violent tremor of Ether, the Spirituality in Yun Mu's mind was completely exhausted, and she fainted on the spot.

Holy crap, it worked! This was her thought in the last second before she fainted.

It is unknown how much time passed.

Yun Mu, who had fallen into a coma, gradually regained consciousness.

She opened her eyes, and in an instant, a large amount of information surged from her mind.

"Ah?"

Yun Mu felt the vast amount of knowledge surging into her mind, as well as the transformation of her body and spirit, with a look of bewilderment.

What happened?

How did she suddenly advance?

It seems that before she lost consciousness, the painting she created successfully triggered a vibration in the Ether, becoming a Supernatural Painting.

No, is a Supernatural Painting really that simple to create?

Didn't Sixin say that Supernatural Paintings are rare, and that it is difficult for an ordinary painter to create even one in their entire life?

How is it that she, only eight days after transmigrating here, has already created three Supernatural Paintings? Could it be that she really is a genius?

PS: Do not doubt it, you are a genius.
