Tang Bohu's True Work

Liu Mengran blushed and stole a glance at her three roommates, who all lowered their heads and pretended to be mute.

Having just eaten a lavish meal courtesy of him, how could they possibly have the nerve to embarrass him?

"Hurry up and get on the bed, my darling. I'm full and satisfied, and I just want to hold you and sleep."

Lu Fan beckoned to Liu Mengran again. Her small face flushed red, and she lowered her head as she climbed onto the bed.

Lu Fan rolled over, pushing her to the inside, and took the spot by the edge himself.

The innocent Liu Mengran once again experienced the saying "a man's mouth is a deceptive ghost." She naively thought Lu Fan just wanted to sleep after eating, never imagining his words hinted at "after satisfying one's stomach, one's thoughts turn to lust."

Staying overnight in a girls' dormitory – he was probably the first person in the entire Dragon Continent to do so.

Around three in the afternoon, Lu Fan, with the Top Campus Belle Liu's waist in his arm, strolled through Panjiayuan.

Behind them, Mao Lili and the other two looked around at the antiques and curios with curiosity.

Lu Fan came to Panjiayuan because he wanted to verify an idea he had.

The vendors selling antiques and curios were all master con artists, and what Lu Fan was most looking forward to right now was being conned.

Lu Fan knew nothing about antiques and curios, but he didn't need to understand them.

As long as the stall owner lied to him and said the item was genuine, then with the system's blessing, that item would absolutely be genuine.

Lu Fan pulled Liu Mengran and squatted down at a stall, picking up an ancient painting and asking the owner.

"Boss, what is this painting?"

The painting in Lu Fan's hand was clearly an ancient artwork, depicting a crouching tiger.

However, the brushwork was clearly lacking, and the details were poorly handled. Any average art student could probably paint better.

The owner was a shrewd-looking old man. Seeing Lu Fan and Liu Mengran, his eyes lit up.

Couples like this, who brought their girlfriends out, were the most favored customers for all stall vendors. The reason was self-explanatory.

"Young man, this painting has quite a history. Do you know Tang Bohu, or Tang Yin? This is the Crouching Tiger Painting that Tang Yin lost. If you buy it, you'll be making a huge discovery."

"Tang Bohu? Is this really Tang Bohu's painting?"

Lu Fan's face showed shock, and this time, it wasn't an act.

"Of course, young man. Don't you see the seal of Tang Yin at the bottom?"

Lu Fan looked down. There was indeed a seal at the bottom of the painting. But was Tang Bohu's painting skill really like this? This was probably worse than even the worst art student.

"Doesn't Tang Bohu usually paint beautiful women?"

"Young man, you wouldn't know this, but while Tang Bohu did like to paint beautiful women, his Crouching Tiger paintings and landscapes were also superb. For this painting, you can take it for fifty thousand yuan. If it were to go to an auction in Hong Kong, it might fetch over thirty million."

"Thirty million? Holy crap! Are Old Tang's paintings really that valuable?"

Lu Fan was shocked again. This scene made Liu Mengran frown.

"Lu Fan, you're not actually going to buy this painting, are you? If you want a painting, I'll have Lili paint one for you later. I guarantee it won't be worse than this one."

"Mao Lili can also paint? Are you kidding me?"

Lu Fan turned to look at Mao Lili standing behind him. However, her gaze was drifting from his eyes down to his body, and the scenery was quite captivating. Mao Lili was wearing a short skirt today, and he could see her safety shorts.

"Hey, Young Master Lu, where are you looking!"

Mao Lili shyly covered her short skirt, blocking Lu Fan's invasive gaze.

"Can you really paint?"

"Of course. Although my painting skills aren't great, I did study art. I can paint a fierce tiger painting like this in one night, and it definitely won't be worse than this one."

Seeing the business about to slip away, the vendor quickly pulled Lu Fan aside to continue his pitch. He could tell that this young man was clearly interested in the painting.

"Kid, this is a genuine work by Tang Bohu. You can resell it for a hundred times its price."

"Then why aren't you selling it yourself, boss? Do you really think we're all idiots?"

Mao Lili retorted sharply, but the boss didn't get angry at all. People like them had seen all sorts of situations. If they got angry over a few words from a young girl, they wouldn't be able to do business at all.

"Boss, fifty thousand is a bit too much. How about five hundred, and you sell me this Tang Bohu painting?"

Lu Fan cut the price by a hundredfold, but Liu Mengran and the other three girls still felt that five hundred was too much. What value was there in buying a fake painting that was so obviously fake?

"Young man, this is a genuine work by Tang Bohu. You can't get it for five hundred yuan. How about you add a little more? Twenty thousand, how about that? For twenty thousand, you can take this genuine Tang Bohu with you."

"Five hundred it is, take it or leave it!"

Lu Fan put his arm around Liu Mengran's waist and prepared to leave. Seeing this, the boss's tone instantly softened.

"Don't go, kid. Five hundred it is, just scan the QR code! Let's just treat it as making a friend. Hurry up and pay."

The boss directly handed over a QR code. Lu Fan was straightforward, scanned the code, paid, and took the painting.

"Young Master Lu is indeed extraordinary. He spent five hundred yuan on this piece of trash that a child could draw. That's a lot of our living expenses for many days, us poor students."

Mao Lili looked speechlessly at the painting in Lu Fan's hand. She wouldn't even want such a painting if it were given to her for free. Lu Fan, this fool, had spent five hundred yuan.

"That's right, Lu Fan. Even if you have money, you shouldn't waste it like this. It would be better to donate this money than to buy this painting."

Liu Mengran also spoke up to advise him, but Lu Fan chuckled and said something that almost made everyone faint.

"Didn't you hear the owner say this is an authentic work by Tang Bohu, worth at least thirty million?"

"Tch, only a fool like you would believe that swindler. Anyone with a brain wouldn't fall for his nonsense."

"Hehe... If the boss says it's real, then it's definitely real. How about it, Mengran, let's make a bet?"

A green glint flashed in Lu Fan's eyes, his lecherous gaze sweeping over Liu Mengran's sexy and shapely figure.

Liu Mengran was wearing a T-shirt and pleated skirt today, with light makeup on her face. Her naturally youthful and stunning beauty was enhanced, making her even more attractive and captivating.

Liu Mengran's face flushed as she met his invasive gaze, knowing exactly what kind of humiliating ideas he was cooking up again. She had no idea how many embarrassing poses and games he had put her through these past few days.

"Tch, Lu Fan, if you want to bet, I'll bet with you. Just looking at this crappy painting insults my eyes. If Tang Bohu knew his authentic work was being insulted like this, he'd probably jump out of his grave to curse."

Lu Fan's gaze shifted to Mao Lili beside them. An idea, a wicked one, popped into his head as his eyes darted around.

Although Mao Lili wasn't as beautiful as Liu Mengran, she was youthful, attractive, and had a fiery figure. She definitely had no shortage of admirers at school.
