Chapter 961: 559 Painting and Blade

"Your Highness Fei Liya!"

Just as Director Scorpio's soul was stirred by the soul-coding and he fell into a fast-asleep state, a nervous inquiry came from the observation deck of the No. 1 Military Industrial Area, sixty-some blocks away.

"The cannon barrels below number 17 have all completed their initial cooling. Do we need to conduct the second round of firing immediately?"

"Not yet."

Shaking her head at the legion commander who asked the question, Fei Liya, who was lying on the edge of the observation deck, bit her lower lip and continued to observe the situation in the No. 1 Research Area with binoculars.

This visible worry naturally wasn't for that Li person; the target of this worry could only be Prince Andre, who was both very doting toward Fei Liya and had twice wanted to kill her.

Even though Li Ang had sworn that because he wasn't sure if she, this "knock-off refurbished version" Princess Fei Liya, could continue to maintain contact with the Watchtower Palace like a true royal bloodline, he would try his best to ensure Prince Andre's survival.

But the massive bombardment of over fifty thousand shells still left the green-eyed girl feeling very uncertain. She kept guarding the lens stand of the military binoculars, wanting to witness the situation there with her own eyes as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, Your Highness."

Naturally assuming that Fei Liya was worrying about that "Prince Li Ang" who had "risked danger alone," the legion commander of the royal direct legion smiled understandingly after glancing at her involuntarily clenched palms, and then offered comfort:

"Since Lord Li Ang dared to give such an order, he naturally has the confidence to save his life in the artillery fire. And since he was able to take down our six legions in two minutes and rescue us from Atifi's control, he will certainly be able to successfully kill that lunatic Andre!"

"..."

The problem is that's exactly what I'm afraid of!

Speechlessly shifting her gaze and looking back at the direct legion commander, the green-eyed girl gave him a perfunctory shallow smile, and then answered awkwardly:

"Hmm... I hope that will be the case..."

"Don't worry, it certainly will be!"

Not hearing the insincerity in Fei Liya's words, the legion commander of the royal direct legion looked admiringly at the brave and intelligent green-eyed girl before him, who hadn't indulged in grief after losing her parents but had stood up to lead everyone in resisting the tyranny. He couldn't help but clench his fist and give a military salute, then promised with a firm expression:

"With your expectation as support, Lord Li Ang will certainly be able to win the first battle, kill the rebellious Prince Andre in one fell swoop, and completely save the Kroke Kingdom!"

"..."

I beg you, please shut up!

Feeling her scalp tingle from the flags the legion commander was planting one after another, Princess Fei Liya's mouth twitched twice. Just as she was about to turn around to say something, she felt a flash before her eyes.

Before she knew it, a warm ray of sunlight had quietly spilled onto the originally dark-green observation deck, breaking the originally murderous and gloomy atmosphere and making the surroundings brighten up...

Wait, why is it a "stroke" of sunlight?!!!

Looking at the strange sunlight with brush marks on the dark-green floor tiles of the observation deck, the green-eyed girl and the legion commander were stunned together.

Immediately afterward, as if a paintbrush fully soaked in oil-based paint was being wetly applied to a taut canvas, that stroke of sunlight, still carrying some burrs, flowed softly along the movement of the brush.

When it flowed to the side of a person, the invisible giant brush paused slightly, changing into some kind of soft brush or silk fabric, gently brushing across the edge of the sunlight, brushing the originally slightly rigid color block into a hazy halo.

And after this halo bloomed, the sunlight, which had been clearly distinct from the person's body, actually mixed naturally with the color of the person's body, while the edge of Fei Liya's dress was smeared with the color belonging to the sunlight.

"This... this is..."

This sudden change felt very long, but in reality, it was very short—just a stroke, a brush, and a light smear. It was so short that it only made people blink slightly.

Before the bewildered crowd could react, the invisible giant brush, carrying thick and colorful paint, brushed diagonally along the direction the sunlight was falling, painting the entire block in the blink of an eye and turning the world into a magnificent scroll.

Finally found you.

Looking at the green-eyed girl on the giant canvas before him, who was looking at the sky in a daze, Prince Andre couldn't help but chuckle.

Then, he picked up the spray bottle at his side, sprayed the paint on the brush wet, put down the spray bottle, picked up a thin and flexible wooden-handled scraper, scraped off the naturally mixed paint, and picked up the brush to depict again.

Brushing, dripping, dry brushing, carving and sweeping...

One technique after another was skillfully used by Prince Andre, and the scroll that had originally "solidified" on the canvas flowed along with his brushstrokes.

The green-eyed girl on the canvas, full of panic, was carried by a large group of birds drawn with pointillism, passing through the sky above the entire royal capital, flying toward the No. 1 area that had already been blasted into ruins.

And the soldiers who wanted to block her in panic, because the observation deck under their feet suddenly collapsed, failed to rescue her in time. Instead, they grabbed the corridor pillars and eaves in a panic, then let out angry shouts toward the sky, watching the green-eyed girl go far away in despair.

Come, come quickly.

Holding the painting knife and gently gouging on the canvas, he forcibly carved out a piece of dark-green city wall, blocking the legion commander who wanted to save people. Prince Andre couldn't help but turn to the side, looking softly at the easel placed in the corner of the wall.

Placed on the easel was that "Royal Banquet" that had "absorbed" Atifi. And on this wonderful scroll that was solidified yet flowing, almost all the characters were in place, waiting expectantly for the start of the banquet.

The only thing missing was the tiny infant held in the Queen's arms, sucking on its own thumb.

That beautifully carved infant, although innocent and cute in appearance, compared to the others in the painting, lacked a bit of "spirituality" in its pair of emerald eyes, appearing slightly dull and stagnant, not flowing like the others in the painting.

Just missing you, Fei Liya.

After looking back nostalgically at that joyful banquet, Prince Andre turned his head and looked expectantly at the green-eyed girl on the giant canvas who had already flown to the edge of the No. 1 area.

In the past, your perception of yourself was always Atifi 01, and I could never convince myself to truly treat you as my younger sister, so I never had a way to truly paint you in.

But now it's different. Now I already know that your soul is the original soul, and you should also already understand that you are the real Fei Liya.

If it were the current you, you would definitely be able to walk into my painting, return to that banquet from years ago with me, and be with Father, Mother, and the others...

However, just as Prince Andre was looking at the canvas full of expectation, waiting for the arrival of the last family member, a "little black person" covered in gray dust on the canvas suddenly threw away the other "little black" on his back, took out a knife, and cut hard toward the sky on the canvas!

"Sss!"

Accompanied by a light sound like tearing silk, a small opening was cut in the sky of the canvas, and a small piece of silver-bright blade tip emerged. The birds carrying the green-eyed girl were also slashed open by more than half by this knife that broke the sky, and they scattered and fled with a flutter.

Fei Liya, who was about to reach her destination, was actually "intercepted" at the last moment. After letting out a scream, she fell directly from the sky, waving her hands and feet. ===== CHAPTER 962 =====
