Preparing for a Barbecue

It's been a while since I've picked up a brush, and it took me this long? Ling Yun shook his head in dissatisfaction. It was true, he had once painted a picture that was praised and revered by the world in just over ten seconds.

Lin Qiuyan and the others wanted to smack this scoundrel. It had only been a minute, and he was already showing off. But then again, his show-off skills were top-notch, worthy of a perfect score.

"Wow, Daddy is amazing! This is Qianqian, and this is Little Tiger," the little one cheered, pointing at the exquisitely drawn figures in the painting.

"Oh, right. Qianqian can be amazing like Daddy too. Do you want to learn?" Ling Yun stroked her head.

Hearing that she could be like her father, the little one immediately nodded.

If one looked closely at the painting, they could see that it was dynamic. The little grass, the little puppy, and Qianqian were all moving. In this world, it could be considered a masterpiece.

Ling Yun's objective was achieved, and the effect was excellent. Qianqian was very enthusiastic about painting now. After teaching her some basics, he let her have free rein.

As for the painting Ling Yun had created, Lin Qiuyan put it away. It was such a beautiful painting, she planned to decorate it and place it in the living room.

"What are you all staring at? It's just a painting. I'm preparing a barbecue later. Sign up now if you want to eat."

"Ah, oh, barbecue? Son, are you having friends over? Is it a party?" Lin Qiuyan asked, snapping back to reality.

"Yes, cousin. If there are a lot of people, can I invite my girlfriends?" she thought slyly.

Lin Yueyan thought that it was broad daylight with such a strong sun, and more importantly, it was so early. Her cousin wanted to have a barbecue, which must be extraordinary.

"For now, it's just our family. There won't be many people. If you like a lively atmosphere, you can invite friends," Ling Yun waved his hand indifferently. It was just a matter of grilling a few more portions. He could handle hundreds of people without a problem.

"Yay, yay, smelly cousin, I won't teach you a lesson this time." She waved her clenched fist and then blew on it, bringing it to her mouth.

"Then I'll prepare more food." Teach me a lesson? Why? I didn't argue with her this morning, did I?

"Hey, Song Song, I'm having a barbecue party here, are you coming? If you don't, you'll definitely regret it later. Okay, then notify them. The address is Linjiang Villa Group, District 11, House 2403." Lin Yueyan thought about how she could show off. Her cousin's cooking skills were too good, how could she not brag!

Soon, all the equipment was ready. Ling Yun looked at the weather and frowned slightly. The sun was too strong, and there were no large trees in the front yard to block the sun. The little one, afraid of getting sunburned, moved her easel to the villa entrance.

Alas, he was careless. He hadn't thought of this aspect at all. With a wave of his big hand, the sky slowly darkened. It turned out that Ling Yun had manipulated the sky on the west side of the villa complex. Dark clouds gathered above, creating a semi-cloudy state. The front yard had half sun and half shade, with different weather conditions alternating.

Seeing that it was no longer sunny outside, the little one brought out her easel again and started painting the tree. She had to admit, for her first attempt, it looked quite good.

Ling Yun brought out a chair, lying down while grilling. Alas, he was missing a maid. It would be nice if someone could give him a shoulder massage right now.

"Daddy, is it ready yet? Qianqian's stomach is growling," the little one said, looking at the skewers of grilled meat and swallowing her saliva.

"Qianqian, are you done painting?"

"Yes, I'm done. Daddy, look, is it good?"

Ling Yun took it over and saw a line of black lines. The early stages were passable, but the final strokes were unbearable.

He couldn't blame the little one. Ling Yun's grilled meat had made her so hungry that she had hastily finished her painting to eat.

"Qianqian, you weren't painting seriously. Look at the end, the top of the tree is bare, all branches. The top of a tree should be the densest."

"No, this tree is sick. It has kidney deficiency," the little one glanced at the painting, her eyes darting around. Then she pouted. She wouldn't admit that she had rushed the painting because she wanted to eat the barbecue.

Lin Yueyan, who was drinking juice, spat it out.

"Why is it sick? The top of the tree has no leaves, but the rest does? Qianqian, explain to me, how do you know it has kidney deficiency?"

"Qianqian understands. There was a bald uncle in the neighborhood we used to live in. His head was bald, but he had hair on the sides. Grandma Zhang said that this condition is kidney deficiency."

"I can't, I'm dying of laughter. Qianqian, you're too funny, haha, I can't, my stomach hurts so much, haha." Lin Yueyan bent over, clutching her stomach, laughing uncontrollably. Her cousin actually had moments where he was stumped.

At this moment, the Awesome Forum was very lively.

"Damn it, I'm late. He's already taken the mission."

"Alas, who told you to sleep in?"

"You can all go do it. Who's stopping you?"

"Is there still a chance for me?"

"My heart aches. That's all my money."

"Get lost. It's never your turn. I'm going to focus on it. What if he fails? Haha."

"Ooh! Something interesting to watch."

"I've never seen so much money in my life."

"You're envious. You can still go now. See who's faster."

"I agree with the person above."

"Has he ever failed? Does anyone here know?"

"When he makes a move, it's a sure kill."

"You guys don't even look at the target."

"This is just giving away money."

"My heart can't take it. He must have been drunk when he posted this mission."

"I hate that I went to bed so early last night."

"I won't say more. I'll keep watching. I don't think it's that simple."

"Could it be a trap?"

A group of people were passionately discussing a mission.

Inside the villa

A flock of crows flew across Ling Yun's forehead.
