Painting Wanda with Blood as Ink

Chen Ji picked up his brush and immediately sketched the Mutant Kang that he saw.

As One of the Smartest People on Earth, he has unique advantages in various fields, and can quickly master a skill with almost no need for learning.

Painting.

Naturally, this is no exception.

He quickly completed the sketch.

The Mutant Kang's appearance was also presented on the white paper, his expression and demeanor vividly portrayed, showing a mixed-race characteristic.

With this lifelike sketch, uncovering the true identity of 'Marcus Jodry' is only a matter of time!

"List."

"You're really something."

"Even the painting technique is so exquisite."

Pietro gave a thumbs-up, sparing no praise.

"List."

"Could you paint a portrait of me?"

"I really love classical art."

Wanda blinked, her heart fluttering. Her face showed both anticipation and a touch of trepidation.

They were afraid of being rejected by Chen Ji.

However.

Chen Ji smiled slightly and nodded gently.

"Certainly."

"It would be my great honor."

With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Ji found ink, watercolors, paintbrushes, and a clean white canvas.

However, one needs to be fully focused while painting; even the slightest noise or disturbance can ruin the entire artwork.

"Then come to my room."

Wanda blushed.

Then, hesitantly led the way to the second floor of the Vought Group, inserted the key, and opened the door.

You'll then see a beautifully decorated and cozy boudoir.

There are all sorts of plush toys on display.

There was also a large-screen high-definition LCD TV and classic black-and-white sitcom DVDs.

Before bed.

Wanda would watch DVDs and crawl into bed; it was one of her few hobbies, and it allowed her to experience a moment of peace, as if her parents were still by her side.

"This..."

"My sister, will she be in danger?"

Pietro looked astonished.

A subtle premonition welled up in my heart.

"A lone man and woman alone in a room, like dry tinder igniting a fire..."

"To dedicate oneself to art..."

"Pietro."

Congratulations on your upcoming nephew/niece!

Mystique, the Inventor Kang, couldn't help but joke.

Nephew?!

Wow!

No way!

Pietro was nearly overwhelmed; he wasn't mentally prepared to accept the fact that Wanda was about to start a family.

What's more, this happened right under his nose!

Doesn't my brother-in-law know he should avoid suspicion?!

"Think positively."

"Wanda will value you even more when she's with Chen."

Raven gentle words of comfort.

A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Why Wanda?

Could it be that Chen dislikes her true self?

This left Raven with mixed feelings.

She had to admit that during their time together, she had developed a strong liking for this mysterious and unpredictable Mystic Arts Mage, and was even willing to become his concubine!

"Value?"

Pietro's eyes darted around.

Even the gloom in my heart dissipated somewhat.

Which man doesn't want to make something of himself?

And the only force he could rely on was Chen!

I just hope that Wanda and Chen are in love with each other, and that Chen isn't a jerk!

Otherwise...

He's determined to fight Chen to the death!

Inside the room.

Chen Ji set up his easel, prepared all the materials, and looked at Wanda, who seemed a little shy, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Wanda, who had just come of age, had a beautiful and innocent face, still somewhat childish. Her face was unadorned, yet as ethereal as the morning glow reflecting on snow.

She wore a blood-red trench coat, her waist was so slender it could be encircled by one hand, and her fair and smooth skin was like fine jade.

Her exaggerated cleavage and stunning hip-shoulder proportions are enough to outshine Victoria's Secret supermodels.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes were like water, and her ears seemed to be burning.

This made Chen Ji's lips curl into a slight smile.

I'm currently figuring out how to begin writing.

But then Wanda suddenly tapped her pearly teeth together, her cheeks flushed, and slowly loosened her corset.

"Wanda..."

"What are you doing...?"

Chen Ji's pupils contracted.

Suddenly I felt a slight throbbing in my nerves.

"Painting..."

Isn't this how it's supposed to be?

Wanda froze, a hint of innocence in her beautiful eyes.

"Oh, this..."

"I understand."

"Please go ahead."

Chen Ji was both amused and exasperated.

What exactly is going on in Wanda's little head?

It's definitely not knowledge!

The next second.

Wanda mustered her courage and stood barefoot before Chen Ji, looking breathtakingly beautiful.

Chen Ji feigned composure.

Immediately, he began to steadily put pen to paper, sketching the outline, then using oil paints to draw the lines, and adding various colors of pigment.

A stunningly beautiful painting leaps off the page.

Wanda strode over, glanced at her, and covered her mouth in disbelief.

In Chen Ji's writing, he was depicted as noble as the Virgin Mary, like Venus, the goddess of love.

Even the background she was in was replaced with a sacred temple, and the interplay of light and shadow and the combination of paint were flawless.

In the painting, she resembles a holy and elegant goddess of wisdom, her expression a mixture of sorrow and melancholy, yet filled with compassion for humanity.

"Is this really me?"

Wanda's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice trembled.

"This is how I see you."

Wanda.

"The reason I decided to save Sokovia is because your determination and dedication moved me."

"You are the savior of Sokovia."

Chen Ji smiled.

Gently take Wanda's soft hand in mine.

"List..."

Wanda gently closed her eyes, her dark, long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Then, her mind went completely blank!

At this moment, Wanda's suppressed emotions seemed to burst forth like a flood.

She actually pushed Chen Ji down on her own initiative.

As for what happens next...

(Ten million words omitted)

A long time.

Wanda lay on her side in the broad crad of his arm.

A sweet, satisfied smile played on her lips.

I felt a sense of peace and happiness from the bottom of my heart.

Wanda.

I will take good care of you.

Chen Ji said earnestly.

Although the turn of events caught him off guard.

But perhaps this is love.

"I trust you."

Wanda's voice was barely audible as she buried her head in the blankets.

No one spoke again.

Yet everything was understood without words.

The rapid escalation of their relationship also dispelled any unspoken awkwardness.

But Chen Ji was slow to realize...

It looks like he was pushed down!

Wanda did that to him...?

Chen Ji was both amused and exasperated.

Looking at the lifelike painting beside me, I suddenly felt a jolt of familiarity; the style of this work...

Why does it look so much like the oil painting he received in the Lobby Bar?

Could it be...?

Chen Ji suddenly stood up, his chest heaving with shock and disbelief!

"I created Weird World, then, through the hands of Bartender Jack, returned it to myself?!"

"Turn out to be..."

"Only I can draw Dying Universe?"

"Entering other dimensions through paintings?"

Chen Ji's eyes widened suddenly.

He instantly understood everything!

Calligraphy and painting are the oldest forms of writing.

Isn't the essence of Pictographic Script simply the imitation of all things in the world?

Before this, he had been pondering the origins of the Weird World and who had collected Weird World...

Only now did he truly understand that there was no other possibility but him!

"List?"

"What's wrong?"

"You sensed danger?"

"Are you afraid I'll cling to you? No, I didn't mean that..."

Wanda was on the verge of tears.

She thought she had done something wrong.

"No."

Wanda.

"None of your business."

"I want to show you something."

Chen Ji waved his hand.

It summoned the mysterious paintings from the New York Sanctum.

Looking at the misty world that resembled slices of silhouette, Wanda's beautiful eyes showed a hint of doubt, but she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Furthermore, she also discovered the magical fluctuations emanating from this painting!

It doesn't seem like an oil painting, but rather a real world!

After examining the paintings closely, Wanda's eyes widened in surprise. She compared the two oil paintings with suspicion and discovered similar brushstrokes!

Whether it's color, composition, design, light and shadow...

They all look remarkably similar to Chen Ji's works!

"It seems you've noticed too."

"Apart from the subject matter, there is almost no difference between these two paintings."

"It should all be... from me."

Chen Ji's expression was complicated.

He had only just begun to explore the world of calligraphy and painting, creating his first work.

He acquired the oil painting long before he even came into contact with the Rune!

In other words...

He created this oil painting in the future and gave it to Bartender Jack from his past.

Chen Ji frowned slightly.

This reasoning is absolutely mind-bending!

This puzzled him greatly.

But...

His magical skills and abilities were thus significantly improved!

We might even discover the location of the 'Council of Kangs'!

Even God Loki holds the power of timelines, has not mastered all the Mystery of reality; large blind spots remain hidden in the corners of the universe.

This should be the stronghold of the Council of Kangs.

For example, Dying Universe!

Just like Loki Sylvie, she has always been lurking in different apocalypses.

TVA's technology couldn't locate her at all; this was a system bug!

"List."

What do you think this signifies?

Wanda was deeply astonished.

His eyes sparkled with curiosity and admiration.

Even though she had long been aware of Chen Ji's extraordinary nature, her Mind Stone still fluttered, and she hugged Chen Ji's arms tightly.

"This foreshadows..."

"I'm being targeted by Kang."

"Countless Kangs."

"I'm afraid the appearance of the Mutant Kang is just the prelude."

Chen Ji's eyes were sharp and keen.

Then he put on the Cloak of Levitation, changed into a brand new outfit, and stood in front of the easel once again.

His eyes held a hint of reminiscence.

Soon, he wielded his paintbrush, dipped it in paint, and copied a similar painting.

Every detail and outline resembled the original version of the Weird World he had seen!

However.

This counterfeit work has no mysterious power, cannot be penetrated, and cannot operate on its own.

This immediately put Chen Ji into deep thought.

Soon, a thought flashed through his mind: perhaps the problem was with the paint!

How can ordinary paints bring a painting to life?!

I am afraid...

Only his blood can do that!

With a thought, Chen Ji felt a trickle of blood seep from his palm, mingling with all the pigments.

In a short while.

He then painted a new oil painting.

At this moment, the oil painting before me truly possesses magic, radiating a mysterious aura that seems capable of captivating the soul and drawing the physical being into the artwork!

"It turns out that my destiny, aside from being manipulated by Cangjie, is entirely determined by my future self..."

"Intervening secretly and covertly?"

Chen Ji looked distressed.

Whether it's the Future Joker or the Weird World, both have given him many insights and indirectly influenced his decisions.

This inevitably reminded him of an ancient mythological symbol.

Ouroboros!

It has the connotation of a self-devourer.

It symbolizes Infinity and cyclical alternation!

Just like the Quantum Entanglement Theory, the beginning and end of things happen simultaneously.

An ending signifies a beginning, and a beginning also heralds an ending!

In short.

Everything in the universe follows a logical closed loop!

However, passing this painting on to Chen Ji in the past was not so simple.

"It seems..."

"We should head to the Lobby Bar."

Chen Ji curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Immediately, a Mystic Portal thin air, leading them to a secluded alley.

Lobby Bar.

There is no fixed entrance; you can enter any alleyway by knowing the correct incantation.

Wanda.

"Want to come with me for a stroll around the Lobby Bar?"

Chen Ji waved.

"Bar?"

Why was it opened in this location?

Wanda was skeptical.

However, after getting dressed, he immediately followed.

"Now comes the moment to witness a miracle."

Chen Ji smiled.

His palm slowly pressed against the cold wall.

Magic was infused into it.

The next second.

A dazzling spatial vortex coalesced and took shape.

It seemed to lead to an endless Void, and in the center of that Void stood a small bar with a simple, unpretentious exterior and a retro feel.

This Lobby Bar is located within a secret cosmic realm, inaccessible to ordinary people.

Only highly skilled Mystic Arts Master and magical creatures can enter this place.

People from all walks of life, including strange and unusual alien species, gathered around round tables, whispering and clinking glasses.

Even if you hate and oppose each other, you cannot cast spells or take action in this place without authorization!

Because...

Bartender Jack is no pushover!

As the Fulcrum of Infinite Multiverse.

Working part-time as a bartender at the Lobby Bar was just a hobby for him.

Even the Cosmic Celestial must submit to him.

Because of the existence of the Fulcrum, the balance of the Infinite Multiverse is maintained, and everything is under its control.

"This bar..."

"That's amazing."

Wanda looked surprised.

He sat with Chen Ji at an empty round table.

She couldn't help but marvel at what she saw.
