After the divorce, I became a mountain god

Xu Bo'an simply went along with Chen Shishi's words and said to her, "That's the idea. As immortals, we can conjure up many of those items with just a little magic. You won't need to clean these things anymore!"

Upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Chen Shishi excitedly exclaimed, "Grandpa Mountain God, you are truly amazing! I admire you greatly. I have been learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting since I was a child, but the paintings I create stroke by stroke are not even one ten-thousandth as exquisite and beautiful as those conjured by the magic of immortals!"

Chen Shishi lives in a bonsai world, so of course she doesn't know that in our real society, hand-painted works are the most valuable. Machine-made patterns may look neat and exquisite, but they lack a lot of vitality compared to hand-painted works.

However, Chen Shishi was unaware of these things. Xu Bo'an said to Chen Shishi, "This is how our immortal world is. These things are nothing special. But I think your paintings are quite amazing!"

Chen Shishi looked at Xu Bo'an with some surprise and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, thank you for your praise, but it seems you haven't seen my paintings yet, have you?"

Xu Bo'an smiled and said, "Of course I've seen it. Aren't the paintings on the doors and windows of the mountain god temple in Kaoshan Village all your work? I really like them!"

After hearing Xu Bo'an's words, Chen Shishi realized that the Mountain God was referring to the paintings on the doors and windows of Kaoshan Village. Chen Shishi was very happy to hear the Mountain God's approval.

Chen Shishi said to Xu Bo'an, "Since the Mountain God likes it, how about I make a painting and give it to him?"

Upon hearing Chen Shishi's words, Xu Bo'an, knowing he had nothing to do at the moment and that he himself enjoyed calligraphy and had all the necessary supplies at home, agreed to Chen Shishi's request, saying, "Okay, then come with me!"

After Xu Bo'an finished speaking, he led Chen Shishi back to the study. He then took out the brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone from the cabinet. After Xu Bo'an explained the uses of each to Chen Shishi, Chen Shishi slowly stretched out her slender, jade-like hands and gracefully picked up the brush. She lightly dipped it into the inkstone, while her other hand gently touched the paper on the table for writing.

She then leaned forward slightly, fixing her gaze on the rice paper, her bright and clear eyes looking very focused.

Then, she gently rotated the wrist holding the brush, and the brush seemed to come alive in Chen Shishi's hand. Where the brush tip moved, the ink spread quickly and rapidly on the rice paper like flowing clouds and water. The characters she wrote were like exquisitely drawn pictures, and every stroke contained her profound calligraphy skills and unique artistic style.

As she performed the spell, Chen Shishi's body swayed slightly with the rise and fall of the brushstrokes, as if she were performing a graceful dance. Her focused expression, elegant posture, and her stunningly beautiful face, along with the unique gentleness of a young girl, combined with the calligraphy, exuded a unique charm that captivated Xu Bo'an, who was watching from the side.

After a while, a beautiful calligraphy work gradually appeared before her eyes. After finishing the last character, Chen Shishi put the brush back on the inkstone and said to Xu Bo'an, "Grandpa Mountain God, my calligraphy work is finished. What do you think?"

It has to be said that Chen Shishi is a truly multi-talented woman. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has such a great figure. And not only that, she has so many talents, and she is so proficient in all of them. If such an extraordinary woman were in modern times, I wonder how many men would fall at her feet.

And now such a woman is right beside Xu Bo'an, and most importantly, she obeys Xu Bo'an's every command, which makes Xu Bo'an feel a strange sense of superiority.

Compared to the self-righteous and self-centered women in real society, a woman like Chen Shishi is simply a rare gem for men with an innate desire for control.

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an couldn't help but feel happy. Ever since he acquired the Bonsai World, this treasure trove, Xu Bo'an felt as if he had been reborn. In this world, he possessed everything a man could dream of, such as endless money and supreme power.

Along with this, his value in the real world also increased significantly. Although possessing the Bonsai World had already given him everything a man could want, adults don't make choices. Since the Bonsai World could help him improve his status in the real world, how could Xu Bo'an let such an opportunity pass by?
Moreover, with the powerful assistance of Bonsai World, it would be many times easier for me to achieve great things in the real world than for ordinary people or even rich kids!
However, just to be on the safe side, Xu Bo'an still needs to proceed step by step to realize his great and magnificent dream.

With the powerful and convenient natural advantage of the bonsai world, Xu Bo'an aims to not only have supreme power in the bonsai world, but also to become a prominent and influential figure in the real world, a dragon among men in both realms.

After envisioning his perfect life, Xu Bo'an looked at Chen Shishi's complete calligraphy work and exclaimed, "This calligraphy is powerful yet graceful; it's a perfect combination of strength and gentleness. It's truly wonderful!"

Hearing the Mountain God's high praise for her, Chen Shishi was as happy as a child. A bright smile appeared on her beautiful face as she looked at Xu Bo'an and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, you flatter me. Thank you for appreciating my calligraphy and painting!"

Looking at Chen Shishi's calligraphy and painting, which was both vigorous and graceful, Xu Bo'an thought that if he helped Chen Shishi hold a solo calligraphy and painting exhibition in the real world, it would definitely attract many like-minded people who love calligraphy and painting. With Chen Shishi's calligraphy and painting skills, which can be described as master level, many people might even want to become her students!
While I might think about it, it would be absolutely impossible to actually let a great beauty like Chen Shishi hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition in the real world. With Chen Shishi's exquisite skills and extremely eye-catching appearance, she would definitely attract people's attention in the real world immediately, which would put me in trouble!
It's best to keep such an eye-catching beauty as your own right-hand woman. Considering that Chen Shishi will be your right-hand woman in the future, you need to learn more about real-life situations.

Xu Bo'an thought that people in the bonsai world were learning planting techniques, but considering Chen Shishi's safety, he had kept her in the aquarium ecosystem he had set up for her and had not let her learn any new knowledge.

Although Chen Shishi is a delicate woman who possesses both beauty and talent, if she lived in our modern high-tech era, she would not need to learn agricultural knowledge at all.

However, living in the extremely backward Bonsai World, which is mainly based on agriculture, and most importantly, Xu Bo'an regards Chen Shishi as his right-hand woman in developing the Bonsai World, he must learn various skills. Although someone of Chen Shishi's level does not need to farm the land herself, she should still master this skill in case of need. If she learns it well, she can also guide the villagers in farming, or when Chen Shishi returns to the Bonsai World, she can help Li Qingjiang teach the villagers this knowledge.

Xu Bo'an believed that it was always good to have multiple skills, so he wanted Chen Shishi to learn more skills.

However, although Xu Bo'an is the mountain god in the bonsai world and has a very high prestige over the little people there, if Xu Bo'an directly asks Chen Shishi to learn, Chen Shishi will definitely obediently do as Xu Bo'an orders!
However, Xu Bo'an is not the kind of person who forces others to do things against their will. If Chen Shishi is unwilling to learn, Xu Bo'an will not force her. After all, she has so many superb skills, and even if she doesn't learn, she already has a great advantage among people. Besides, everyone has different areas of expertise. What if Chen Shishi is not good at planting? Forcing her to learn would be making things difficult for her!

For someone as talented as Chen Shishi, it's best to respect her wishes. With that in mind, Xu Bo'an said to Chen Shishi, "Chen Shishi, recently the residents of Kaoshan Village have been learning a new planting method. Seeing your outstanding learning ability, I would also like you to learn it in preparation for any eventuality. Do you have the willingness to do so?"

Chen Shishi's eyes lit up when she heard Xu Bo'an's words. She looked at him happily and said, "Grandpa Mountain God, that's wonderful! I've been feeling really bored and lonely these past few days, probably because I've been doing nothing all day. I've been thinking about learning something new these past few days so I won't feel so lonely."

Furthermore, I am quite interested in learning about agriculture, as you mentioned. The fundamental reason why our Great Jing Dynasty is in such chaos is that the people at the bottom of society simply cannot fill their stomachs. They are driven to desperation and only then do they want to rise up in rebellion. However, when agricultural techniques improve and people's lives become relatively more comfortable, and they have food to eat, I think most people will not take such risks. In any case, agriculture is the foundation of the Great Jing Dynasty. Although I am just a woman, I am willing to contribute my meager strength to the stability of the Great Jing Dynasty!

Chen Shishi is, after all, a woman with refined talents who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Xu Bo was worried that Chen Shishi would not be willing to learn farming, which is a relatively down-to-earth job. Xu Bo'an asked Chen Shishi because he did not want to guess what she was thinking.

To Xu Bo'an's utter surprise, Chen Shishi, a young woman living in an extremely backward era, should have had a more traditional mindset than women of the new era. However, Chen Shishi not only had a very accurate analysis of the current situation in the Great Jing Dynasty, but was also willing to contribute to the development of the Great Jing Dynasty and was willing to learn such down-to-earth things. She truly was a woman who was not inferior to men!

This made Xu Bo'an look at Chen Shishi in a new light, and his fondness for her increased several degrees.

Xu Bo'an said to Chen Shishi, "Chen Shishi, I always thought you were a delicate woman who was only good at playing the zither, chess, calligraphy and painting. I never expected that you would also have a sense of national responsibility and concern for the world. You have truly impressed me!"

Upon hearing the Mountain God's high praise, Chen Shishi replied, "Grandpa Mountain God, you flatter me. As a member of the Great Jing Dynasty, it is only natural for me to consider its interests. This is merely my duty."
Most importantly, it is thanks to you, Grandpa Mountain God, that I dare to have such a grand goal. If it were back when I was still at Juxiangfang, I could only obey the manager's orders every day. How could I dare to dream of doing something so meaningful? It was you, Grandpa Mountain God, who saved me, gave me my freedom, and allowed me to do what I truly wanted to do! I will never forget your great kindness!
Besides, I have a little selfish reason for learning planting techniques: I enjoy flowers and plants, and learning these skills will allow me to create a vast flower garden for myself!

Xu Bo'an smiled after hearing Chen Shishi's words. He knew that Chen Shishi's main reason for learning planting techniques was to do something within her power for the common people of the Great Jing Dynasty. As for planting flowers and plants herself, it was just a side thing.

Xu Bo'an understood that Chen Shishi said this only to create a more relaxed atmosphere for their conversation.

Xu Bo'an said, "Alright, let's not delay. I'll get you some study materials and video recordings now and teach you how to study!"

After listening to Xu Bo'an's words, Chen Shishi nodded obediently to him.

After saying that, Xu Bo'an went to another room and gave Chen Shishi the materials and video recordings he had prepared in advance, and briefly taught her how to operate them.

Chen Shishi is an extremely intelligent woman. She learns things much faster than the average person. In addition, she helped Li Qingjiang teach the residents of Kaoshan Village in the Bonsai World. Although she doesn't know as many modern men as Li Qingjiang, she still knows quite a few. She quickly got into a learning state, and her focused learning appearance was much more serious than that of students in our new era who are about to take the college entrance examination!
With nothing else to do, Xu Bo'an started studying with Chen Shishi. The two studied until very late, when Xu Bo'an finally said to Chen Shishi, "Chen Shishi, it's very late today. Let's rest first. We can study again tomorrow. Don't wear yourself out!"

Hearing the Mountain God's words of concern, Chen Shishi felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey. She looked at Xu Bo'an with a sweet smile and said, "Thank you for your concern, Mountain God!" (End of Chapter)
