Group Photo, the First Otaku of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths

The final part of the awards ceremony was, of course, taking a group photo together.

Therefore, the important task of photography was handed over to our best photographer, Senior Brother Ouyang, whose sketching skills were comparable to a human printing press.

Everyone stood in front of the counter, each holding a Little Golden Man; after all, even Xu Xiao'er had won the 'Best Atmosphere Team' award.

Oh...

Princess Little Jiang's hands were empty.

She stood a short distance away, clutching the hem of her skirt and holding her small basket, watching with longing and envy.

She didn't go to the Listen to the Wind Pavilion with Big Brother Li.

Therefore, there is no prize.

Actually, she really wanted Little Big Brother Li. If someone got rid of him, she would just go and pick him up again...

But judging from how shiny that Little Golden Man is, it seems we won't be able to wait for it...

Areca palm--

A Little Golden Man suddenly fell to the ground.

Jiang Chulong raised her head blankly.

But then Li Mo looked up at the sky, muttering something strange:

Where's my Little Golden Man?

Jiang Chulong picked it up, and just as she was about to say something, she saw Li Mo wink at her.

"There are prizes for Chulong too!"

"What... what is it?"

Do you often pick up trash?

"Mmm... Mmm."

"Congratulations! You've set a great example for local environmental sanitation! You deserve a huge reward!"

Actually, picking up trash is just Chulong's personal hobby.

She was both happy and a little embarrassed when she was pulled over.

They all stood together.

"Smile, everyone."

Li Mo instinctively called out as he took the Little Golden Man from Ice Block's hand.

In his memories before the Mystery of the Womb, his family would take several family photos every year in his previous life.

Standing here with everyone now, it really feels like we were taking a family photo back then.

emmmm

The thought of it makes me laugh.

Li Mo looked at the smiling impoverished person standing next to him— Ice Block.

They're back, they're all back.

It's a tingling sensation on the scalp.

"What's the matter?"

Jiang Chulong turned her head, and her delicate body suddenly shuddered.

Sister Bing's fake smile...

How scary!

How to quickly make the Ice Block smile? That might be the biggest challenge of this ceremony.

I tried my best.

Ying Bing resumed her expressionless state, which actually made her look somewhat gentler.

"Yes, you really work very hard..."

Li Mo thought that joking was not something that could be solved by hard work.

Telling jokes like last time definitely won't work.

He's a genius; he had a flash of inspiration and came up with a solution.

Li Mo looked at the girl's slender and exquisite waist.

Girls all have a special, very sensitive area. Can you guess what it is?

3...

2...

1...

That's right, it's ticklish!

Li Mo took advantage of their unpreparedness and launched a sneak attack!

Splat...

So,

Don't let its Ice Block appearance fool you; it has a soft, fragrant texture and feels surprisingly comfortable to the touch...

"If it doesn't work, then don't draw me..."

Ying Bing stopped abruptly, swallowing back the words she was about to say by pursing her lips.

A tingling, electric-like sensation shot through her waist, coursing through her body like current, causing her fingers to involuntarily curl and her neck to hunch slightly.

Looking down, I saw the boy looking up expectantly.

Did you laugh?

"..."

Ying Bing didn't laugh.

"!"

Upon seeing the cold resentment in Danfeng eyes, Little Li realized something.

As for me, Li, it seems not every idea I have is genius...

Sure enough, the soft flesh next to the kidney was twisted up and rotated 180 degrees.

Because of his sneak attack.

Even the Ice Block have abandoned all martial ethics.

"Loose, loose, loose... hiss..."

Li Mo gasped, tears welling in his eyes as he clutched her icy little hand, but the more he tried to hold it, the tighter she gripped it.

Qian Bufan couldn't bear to watch. "... Sigh."

Xue Jing laughed heartily, "Tsk tsk, heh..."

Shang Wu suddenly laughed with relief, "Haha... damn it."

The older members, including Ouyang and Shen Yunfei, fell into deep thought.

Because I suddenly felt that if they appeared in the painting, it would probably... seem rather superfluous.

Jiang Chulong was a little anxious.

Xu Xiao'er, on the other hand, revealed a wise look in his eyes.

Ignore him, he's crazy.

Ouyang was quick-witted; he picked up his pen in a flash.

And so this scene was frozen in time forever.

He even thoughtfully drew himself in the picture.

Night falls.

The roof of the restaurant.

"Was that my expression at the time?"

Ying Bing was somewhat lost in thought.

Looking at the portrait, the coldness in her eyes vanished, replaced by a hint of reproach as she pinched the soft flesh of Li Mo's waist hard.

Actually, there's no need to ask this question further.

The painting depicts Elder Qian's helplessness, Elder Xue's relief, Shang Wu's sour face, Jiang Chulong's cautiousness, and everyone leaning back in tactical disarray...

These are all things that have just actually happened.

Especially him.

The way he clutched his back, gasping for breath, his handsome face contorted in pain.

It's all so vivid in my memory.

"Let nature take its course..."

Ying Bing took a sip of tea, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Why be confused?

Isn't she harmonious in this scene?

"But next time we should tell him he can't just touch women like that..."

Ying Bing recalled that touch, and a faint chill ran down her spine.

This time, the system didn't cause any problems.

Even a slight touch from him felt the same as during our previous sword duel...

[Ding-dong]

Hey hey hey, isn't that a coincidence?

The system notification says this file has popped up again.

[Countdown to the next ranking comparison: 1 day.]

[The penalty is: request the winner to touch more than 80% of the area...]

Before.

Ying Bing didn't think it was a big deal.

But the feelings I just had lingered in my mind and just wouldn't go away...

That's just how some things are.

The more you try to forget, the more deeply ingrained it becomes in your mind.

On the other side.

A villa and tavern, Dragon-Tiger Pill Furnace.

"Well..."

Li Mo had a painting on his lap as he waited for his Senior Brother Xiao Bao and Elder Xue.

Today he plans to condense the last of the seven Profound Pill (mysterious pills).

Then we can try the Heaven-Overturning Style.

"What's wrong, Junior Brother Li?"

When Ouyang passed by, he saw him sighing and complaining.

He didn't quite understand.

How could someone like Junior Brother Li have worries?

"I'm thinking, even geniuses have moments when their thinking goes wrong."

"What's the problem?"

Ouyang felt that he was also a genius, and much older than him.

They should be able to enlighten Junior Brother Li and save this lost lamb.

"Senior Brother Ouyang, do you understand what women are thinking?"

"You've drawn so many beautiful women, you must know a lot about this... Senior Brother Ouyang?"

Li Mo sighed.

But then they found that Senior Brother Ouyang was silent.

I turned around.

Then he saw that Senior Brother Ouyang had droopy, lifeless eyes, staring at him with eyes that held a Resentment Qi heavier than a ghost's.

"Your grandma."

"Um??"

"Even dating addicts don't date. What's so great about real women? The ladies in paintings are much more appealing."

"..."

Li Mo remained silent.

Although I don't know why Senior Brother Ouyang reacted so strongly.

But seemingly unintentionally, he gave birth to the first anime star in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths...

Little Li changed the subject:

"By the way, Senior Brother Ouyang, how come you're in the painting too?"

"Nature uses energy to guide the brush."

"Clam?"

"Do you think it's normal to control a sword with your inner energy?"

"Normal."

"What's unreasonable about using breath to control the brush and making it paint automatically?"

"... That makes sense."
