Cute Dragon

"Let me tell you, the key to drawing technique lies in form. For example, when you draw this dragon's face, remember to make the face round enough so that the dragon's head looks full and cute..."

"And the body... the dragon's head and body can't be in proportion. The body needs to be more three-dimensional, ideally with a narrower section where it connects to the head, gradually extending outwards to form an oval shape..."

"Sister Qingyang, what is an oval shape?"

"You've seen watermelons, right? They look like this."

"Oh, I see..."

"The dragon also has a pair of wings. The wings shouldn't be drawn too big, nor should they be as angular as a real dragon's; they should be more rounded..."

"..."

Ma Feifei stood silently at the back door of the Bookstore, speechlessly watching a Four Spirit Pillars not far away. At this moment, Yun Qingyang was standing in front of the Four Spirit Pillars, using his Origin Power to conjure a pen, and then continuously sketching on the Four Spirit Pillars, while saying some things that made Ma Feifei collapse.

Behind Yun Qingyang stood all the employees of the Mysterious Bookstore, including Liuli, who had just joined. They all stared with great interest at the Four Spirit Pillars in front of Yun Qingyang, or more precisely, at the 'dragon' that she was constantly sketching.

As Yun Qingyang explained, everyone nodded in agreement from time to time, making it seem as if the group was learning painting techniques from Yun Qingyang.

Good heavens! Ma Feifei thought these people must be crazy.

Especially after hearing Yun Qingyang's explanation, what on earth was all that?! What did he mean by emphasizing form in painting, and that the head should be round and the body oval?

"This is hopeless." Ma Feifei recalled the "Cute Painting Master Techniques" book that the system had rewarded Yun Qingyang with, and roughly understood Yun Qingyang's current drawing style.

"Well..."

With a sigh, Ma Feifei walked over.

"Also, dragons normally have scales, but I personally think that dragons without scales are the most beautiful, so when I draw this dragon, I will simplify its scales, hair, and whiskers."

I don't know where Yun Qingyang got so much to say. He's usually so aloof, but now he seems like a completely different person. He's drawing on the Four Spirit Pillars while explaining to the people around him. One of them is explaining carefully, and the other group is listening attentively. It's quite harmonious.

Ma Feifei quietly found a crack and glanced at the 'dragon' drawn by Yun Qingyang on the Four Spirit Pillars. His eyelids twitched involuntarily.

"Cute Dragon!"

You've seen those Cute Dragons, right? Those tiny, adorable ones that can melt your heart with their cuteness. That's exactly what the dragons Yun Qingyang is depicting:

It plopped down on the Four Spirit Pillars, its dragon head round, its belly Jellicent, and its tail held high, almost touching the back of its head. Besides these, it also had two hands and two legs; the hands and legs were short and plump, with three fingers and three toes, and fingernails on the tips of its fingers and toes.

Most importantly, this Cute Dragon is only about the size of a normal human head! Placed on the entire Four Spirit Pillars, it's practically invisible!

"It's over, it's completely over." Ma Feifei slumped on the stool, looking utterly hopeless.

Ma Feifei never expected that the system would reward Yun Qingyang with a book of cute drawing techniques, and she certainly didn't expect that Yun Qingyang would directly use her mastery of cute drawing techniques to draw a dragon.

"And its horns, nose, ears—we need to draw those round to make it cuter. And its eyes—they have to be big... Oh, right, I can't draw the eyes." Yun Qingyang continued explaining as she sketched, when suddenly she remembered something. She turned to look at Ma Feifei, a satisfied smile on her face, and said, "Hey, Ma Feifei, the dragon you wanted is finished. Come and add the eyes."

"..."

Ma Feifei was initially a little annoyed by the Jellicent, Cute Dragon on the Four Spirit Pillars, but when he suddenly saw Yun Qingyang smiling so happily, for some reason, Ma Feifei's annoyance vanished completely, and he instantly felt relieved. He got up and walked towards the Four Spirit Pillars.

Cute Dragon are Cute Dragon, who says you can't draw Cute Dragon on the Four Spirit Pillars?

There's nothing wrong with Cute Dragon! They're quite adorable.

Yes, that's right!

"Qingyang is right. When painting dragons in this style, the eyes should be large and round, and the pupils must be bright."

"Really? I think so too, hehe..."

"Yes, yes, our Dragon Girl is the best..."

"..."

Just as a group of people at the Mysterious Bookstore were drawing Cute Dragon, three figures also set off from Dubian Town, heading towards the border between the Qin State and Zhao States.

These three figures were naturally Cang Lan, the Grand Dean of the Vast Academy; Zhen Liang, the Third Dean; Lie Xingyun, the Fifth Dean.

"Cang Lan, you bitch! When we get back, Laozi 'll make you wish you were dead!" Lie Xingyun Levitate above the clouds, looking at Cang Lan ahead, his face filled with Rage and malice.

His Rage towards Cang Lan had reached its peak because not long ago, Cang Lan had used a secret technique to seal the functions of his 'lower body,' making him completely unable to feel any movement in his 'lower body.' In other words, if Cang Lan didn't help him break the seal, he would never be able to walk on the pedestrian path again.

Beside Lie Xingyun, Third Dean Zhen Liang had been following him closely. Seeing Lie Xingyun's expression, he knew exactly what Lie Xingyun was thinking. However, there was nothing he could do. The conflict between Lie Xingyun and Cang Lan had a long history, with constant friction over the past five hundred years. It was no longer something that could be resolved with just a few words.

"Sigh!" Zhen Liang sighed. Lie Xingyun always offends the Grand Dean and gets punished every time, but he never learns his lesson and still wants to fight with the Grand Dean. Zhen Liang really doesn't know what to say.

Two Realms Mountain is tens of thousands of miles away from Dubian Town, but the group consisted of highly skilled cultivators. In addition, they had purchased Plum Blossom and the Divine Abilities and Spells of Soaring Cloud Riding Mist from the Mysterious Bookstore in Dubian Town out of curiosity, making them much faster than ordinary cultivators.

After about two days, the three entered the territory of Two Realms Mountain.

"Look, it's the Grand Dean and his group!"

On the Outer Court's Martial Arts Field at the foot of Twin Peaks, a group of Outer Court students looked up at the three people flying towards Twin Peaks, exclaiming in surprise.

"The Grand Dean, the Third Dean, the Fifth Dean —weren't they inside the academy? When did they leave?" Students who kept a close eye on the movements of the academy's important figures asked in confusion.

"The Grand Dean and the others are such mysterious figures, how could you possibly know about their whereabouts?" the students retorted dismissively.

Among the crowd, only Bai Xiaosheng quietly watched the Grand Dean and his group fly into Twin Peaks, constantly making hand seals. After a while, a look of great alarm suddenly appeared on Bai Xiaosheng's face. "A terrible omen! The Grand Dean is in danger!"
