nNorth Mystic Heaven, Crystal Palace.
nIn the morning, after having class for the children, Lin Xuan rested.
nXuan Zhu and the others were playing in the garden in front of the bedroom.
nBefore long, Lin Xuan heard their chattering.
nLin Xuan raised his head and saw that the four little girls were sitting on the ground with a piece of paper and pen in their hands.
nClearly, they were drawing and playing together.
nAnd what they were arguing about was the stars in the sky.
nXuan Zhu placed the brush under her chin and blinked her big eyes at the sky. “I think stars blink. It looks like an eye.”
n“So, the stars look like big and beautiful eyes!”
nWith that, she drew a pair of eyes on the paper.
nXuan Xi, Xuan Han, and Xuan You went forward to take a look and shook their heads.
nXuan Xi said, “I feel that since the stars are so bright, they look like gems.”
nAs she spoke, she drew a star according to the appearance of the gem in the room. Xuan Han shook her head.
n“No, no, the stars are circular, so they look like immortal beads spat out by the Crystal Toad.”
nWith that, she crossed her legs together, placed the paper on her legs, and drew a circle. Xuan You looked at Xuan Xi and Xuan Han’s drawings, and shook her head. “You’re all wrong! The stars are so bright. They’re like fire!”
n“It looks sharp and it’s burning with flames!”
nAfraid that her three sisters wouldn’t approve of her thoughts, she drew a huge ball of flames on her paper.
nAfter Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, and Xuan Han finished looking at her drawing, they shook their heads.
n“Xuan You, stars aren’t like this at all!”
n“That’s right. It doesn’t look like stars at all!”
n“Xuan You, you drew them too big!”
nSeeing that her three sisters disagreed, Xuan You said unhappily, “But yours don’t resemble stars either!”
nThe four little girls started arguing again.
nHowever, none of them were angry. Clearly, the four sisters had a very deep relationship. This dispute couldn’t affect their relationship at all.
nLin Xuan didn’t interfere. This sort of debate was very necessary for the children’s growth.
nNot only could it improve their understanding of things, but it could also cultivate flexible thinking
nHowever, the little girls clearly wanted to find a fair and authoritative person to judge.
nAs they argued, they looked at Lin Xuan.
n“Father, come take a look. Which one of us drew the stars most realistically?!” The little girls said in unison. Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled. He went forward to look at them one by one and said, “All of you drew it right. The star itself is round, but it shines and flickers.”
n“So when we look at them from afar, we can draw them in different shapes according to our imagination.”
nHearing his words, the little girls laughed happily.
nIf their father said so, it must be true.
nFrom the looks of it, everyone was good at drawing!
nXuan Han tugged at Lin Xuan’s finger. “Then, Father, what do the stars look like to you?”
n“That’s right, Father, tell us quickly!” “I want to see Daddy’s drawing!”
n“I’m so looking forward to it!” Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, and Xuan You were immediately interested. Seeing his daughters’ expectant and excited expressions, Lin Xuan could only say, “Okay, okay, okay. Daddy will draw how stars look like in my eyes for you guys to see!”
nThe four little girls nodded at the same time. The stars Daddy drew must be very interesting.
nLin Xuan drew a pentagram on the paper according to the cartoon drawings he saw in his previous life. “Can stars be like this?”
nXuan Zhu and the others were instantly filled with boundless curiosity.
nThe stars that their father drew were really novel!
nLin Xuan took in the little girls’ expressions and felt that one star was too monotonous, so he drew a few more.
nThen, he drew a pair of eyes in every pentagram.
n“Wow!”
nThe little girls cried out in shock.
n“What a cute star!”
n“Father is really good at drawing!”
n“I love stars like these!”
n“I want to pluck all the stars from the sky!”
nAfter Lin Xuan’s perfection, the stars on the paper had a cute cartoonish vibe, and they instantly won over the little girls’ hearts.
nDing!
nAt this moment, the system’s voice suddenly sounded in Lin Xuan’s mind.
n“You have completed a drawing lesson for your daughters. Reward: Grandmaster-level drawing skills!”
nSeeing the system notification, Lin Xuan couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows. “Seriously?!”
nHe casually drew a few stars, and obtained grandmaster-level drawing skills as a result. This was too awesome!
nOn second thought, he was lucky to have this new skill.
nIn the future, as his daughters grew up, he would inevitably come into contact with more difficult drawings.
nWith his grandmaster-level drawing skills, he would definitely be able to handle these little girls with ease! A fragrant and refreshing wind floated in from the entrance of the palace.
nDonghuang Ziyou looked at her four daughters gently and then looked at Lin Xuan. “You brought the children to the Lower Realm to worship your ancestors yesterday, right?”
n“Yes.” Lin Xuan nodded. “I brought them down for the festival and played with them for the entire day.”
nAs the two of them spoke, the little girls ran over and handed Lin Xuan’s star to Donghuang Ziyou.
n“Mother, look. This is the star Daddy drew. Isn’t it very beautiful?”
nDonghuang Ziyou took a closer look and couldn’t help but shake her head and smile to herself.
nSince she was born into a royal family, not only had she seen the drawings of countless experts, but she was also proficient in the arts.
nIn her opinion, Lin Xuan’s drawing standards were really… subpar. However, she could tell that Lin Xuan had drawn these stars painstakingly and that they were liked by the children.
nDonghuang Ziyou couldn’t bear to dampen Lin Xuan and the children’s enthusiasm, so she said, “It’s beautiful.”
n“Heehee, I knew Mother would like it too!” Xuan Xi said happily.
nThen, the little girls ran to the side with the drawing
nTheir father drew so well, and they all wanted to learn it as soon as possible so that they could draw stars as beautiful as their father did.
nSeeing the children playing, Lin Xuan returned to the chair to rest.
nDonghuang Ziyou stared at him silently for a moment and walked forward gracefully.
nShe waved her fair hand and took out four extremely exquisite books from the void and handed them to Lin Xuan.
n“This is the North Mystic Scripture, the royal family’s ancient book that our Mystic Ice Palace has kept for tens of thousands of years.” “These scriptures cover astronomy, geography, and military medicine. They’re extremely precious.”
n“You can take a look when you’re free. I believe it will be very beneficial to you.”
nShe thought to herself that since Lin Xuan was unwilling to cultivate, he could at least read some books to improve himself, right?
nA man should either have literary prowress or military prowress.
nHe couldn’t be such a slacker.
nFurthermore, she saw that besides taking care of the children, Lin Xuan had some free time. There was no harm in reading more books.
nLin Xuan glanced at the North Mystic Scripture casually. There were at least four to five million words in such a thick book.
nLin Xuan’s head hurt just thinking about it, let alone reading it.
nBesides, he possessed the Absolute Mystic Sutra now, so it included the contents of the North Mystic Sutra. There was no need to read it at all.
nTherefore, Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled. “Since it’s the royal family’s precious book, you’d better keep it for yourself.”
