"Did she trick you again?"
Undead Wildfire's amused voice came from overhead.
Clearly, she knew Qihua too.
But Yu Xunge suddenly remembered something from when she had been drawing her Player Relic.
Back then, she had always felt that she would struggle to reproduce this Player Relic, because whenever her brushwork fell short of her imagination and emotions, she felt as though an invisible hand reached out of the void, gently held her brush-wielding right hand, and guided her to paint even better.
There was also the reward after the [Godly Instruction] game ended-upgrading her Player Relic.
At the time, the options had been a chosen upgrade and a random upgrade.
"...For a random upgrade, a certain Deity will personally redraw Echoes of the Snow Country for you based on Their impression of you. This process is full of uncertainty, but once the Deity has finished drawing it, the Player Relic's rank and abilities are guaranteed to improve significantly."
Could that "certain Deity" have been her?
But whether it had been Qihua or not, the more Yu Xunge thought about it, the more annoyed she became. She kicked hard at the air several times.
Tricked again, tricked again, tricked again!!!
No wonder every time Yudun saw her teaching Qihua to draw afterward, Yudun would take off those glasses and wipe the lenses while staring unblinkingly at Qihua.
Had that been to see whether the latter would blush?
As if Qihua would blush. She would even take the drawing homework Yu Xunge assigned her to Yudun and ask for an assessment of how well she was learning.
No wonder Qihua's flowering branches had swayed so happily when she said she was both a teacher and a student. That had not been why she was happy at all. She had been happy
