Zongman: Even if I am reborn, I still want to live my daily life

“I’m not sure either, but I heard something from Sagiri’s biological mother that’s very similar to what’s happening now, and I’ve seen it with my own eyes.” Yang Kui began to recount something that she had always found unbelievable.

"What?" Sagiri asked quickly, surprised that the topic of her biological mother had suddenly come up.

"That was many years ago, when you were very young. I visited your family, and your mother showed me one of her latest creations—a painting," Yang Kui continued, her face filled with reminiscence. It was clear she was thinking of her best friend, Sagiri's biological mother, with whom she had a very close relationship back then.

"That time she excitedly showed me her new drawing, just like the ones you usually draw, Sagiri. She drew all erotic pictures too." Yang Kui smiled as she said this, clearly remembering something happy, but Sagiri was very unhappy. She disappeared from the phone video call. How could her mother say something like that out loud! There were other people in the family who didn't know! When the girls looked at her, there was no one left on the phone.

But now that everyone knows, Nanami and Winette blushed instantly. They never expected that Sagiri was actually a lewd artist.

"I, I didn't!" Sagiri denied, but her lack of confidence was evident in her tone. Those who didn't know understood that Aunt Yang Kui was telling the truth. Their impression of Sagiri suddenly changed. Before, she was a cute little sister, but now she was completely different. They had a strange feeling that they couldn't quite put their finger on, like a cute little sister suddenly asking if they could see her panties.

Ignoring Sagiri's shyness, Yang Kui continued, "But that time her painting was completely different. It was just an ordinary painting of a beautiful girl, the same as her usual paintings, even a beautiful girl wearing normal clothes. I thought she had reformed, but when I looked at the painting again, the beautiful girl in it was half-naked, wearing only underwear, with a trembling expression and a trembling posture."

"What?" The girls were surprised. What was going on? Magic?

“I held it in my hand and looked at it carefully. It was just ordinary paper, and the paint and everything else were very ordinary. But Sagiri’s mother was able to create that effect. When you look at an ordinary painting, a kind of illusion appears! An illusion that she gave to the painting while she was painting. She called it the Eromanga ray, and she said it was the ultimate secret of painting.”

Yang Kui continued, saying that what she said seemed far-fetched to the girls, but they understood that Gao Yu Yang Kui had no reason to lie to them, which meant that what she said was very likely true.

“Xiao Mo’s current situation is probably very similar to what I saw that time. This may be the pinnacle of painting! I’m not surprised at all that Xiao Mo can reach this level. He is a genius.” Gao Yuyangkui said with great satisfaction.

But Eriri, who is also an artist, was concerned about something else: "Aunt Hyouki, do you mean that Sagiri's biological mother is someone who stands at the pinnacle of painting? Otherwise, how could she have done such a thing?"

When the other girls heard Eriri's question, they realized that they already believed it, since the light shining on Takahashi's side was getting brighter and brighter. But if that was really the case, Sagiri's biological mother was too amazing!

Sagiri listened with great anticipation, eager to know more about her biological mother. However, she didn't appear on her phone but instead listened from the side.

"Well, actually, no. She definitely hasn't reached the level that Xiao Mo has reached. Even Mashiro couldn't do that, right? Sagiri's mother definitely couldn't do that either."

The girls nodded and looked at Mashiro. Even Mashiro, a world-class painter, looked completely bewildered, not understanding what Aunt Yangkui was talking about. If Sagiri's mother was even more skilled than Mashiro, why hadn't they heard of her? Sagiri had never mentioned her either.

"Didn't I say that she did it through that ability she called the Eromanga Ray? It requires complete dedication and pouring your whole heart into the painting. Her technique couldn't do it, but she did it in a different way. I don't know the specifics, but I remember she said she would teach this skill to Sagiri, but Sagiri thought she was joking so she didn't learn it."

"Wasn't that a joke?" Sagiri felt a little down. She hadn't expected that her mother wasn't joking when she told her that. She hadn't learned it. Her mother had clearly wanted to teach her the ultimate technique, but she hadn't learned it!

After listening, Eriri understood: "Even without that kind of technology, she can still do what Sumi can do now. Sagiri's biological mother is still an undisputed genius!"

The girls all agreed with Eriri's point of view.

"Her? Yes, she really is. She really is a genius, sigh." Yang Kui nodded with a smile, recalling her best friend's smiling face and the moments she spent with her. She sighed, realizing that they were now separated by death.

The girls also fell silent, not saying a word, so as not to upset Sagiri. After all, in their view, Sagiri was afraid to go out because of the death of her parents.

Sagiri also fell silent, but for a different reason than the other girls; she was thinking about something.

"Alright, let's not think about that anymore. Now let's look forward to Xiao Mo's painting. It'll emit holy light, and it'll be a painting of me. I already have some guesses. It's so embarrassing!" Yang Kui clapped her hands, drawing the girls' attention back, and said jokingly.

The girls smiled. Indeed, they could all guess what Gao Yumo had drawn, since Gao Yuyangkui was sacred in Gao Yumo's heart.

(Requesting flowers, rewards, favorites, and monthly tickets).

Chapter 141 Painting Breakthrough to LV10! (1st Update)

After a while, the girls watched as Gao Yumo stopped writing, and then remained silent for a long time.

They swallowed hard, realizing it was about to end, and stopped talking, turning to look in Gao Yumo's direction.

The holy light from before had disappeared without anyone noticing. The girls were afraid that Gao Yumo had failed, so they could only silently pray for him, hoping that he could break through to the pinnacle of painting!

I've started writing!

Gao Yumo made the final stroke on the painting. Just as the ancients added the finishing touch to a dragon painting, Gao Yumo's last stroke was also the last eye of Gao Yuyangkui.

The girls didn't see this last stroke coming quickly; it took Gao Yumo several minutes to finish after he put pen to paper.

Then came an unprecedented holy light! None of the girls who were looking in that direction could open their eyes, not even Raphiel and Gabriel. They all had to cover their eyes with their hands and turn their heads away.

The holy light came and went quickly, disappearing in no time. Only then did the girls look back in Gao Yumo's direction. The light hadn't harmed them; instead, they felt warm. After the light disappeared, they could open their eyes. It wasn't like a real bright light; it was like an illusion, just as Gao Yuyangkui had said.

"Done!" Gao Yumo roared! His voice was filled with excitement and exhilaration!

Only then did he seem to come to his senses and look at his painting, and then he froze, with an expression they had never seen on him before.

The girls heard his roar, which was an unprecedented excitement for Gao Yumo. No one had ever seen Gao Yumo so excited before, not even Gao Yuyangkui.

They waited for Gao Yumo's reaction; could they go over and check on her?

But Gao Yumo did not respond.

"Brother, are you alright?" Xiaomai asked impatiently, since her brother had just said he had finished.

But Gao Yumo still didn't react. After looking at each other, they finally looked at Gao Yuyangkui, since she was the one who could make the decision.

"Let's go take a look then." Gao Yuyangkui nodded to the girls and led the way towards Gao Yumo. The girls followed her.

They walked over to Gao Yumo's painting and looked at it. It was the painting that Gao Yumo had painted with the most care since they had known him, and it was also the painting that had taken the longest to paint.

Upon seeing it, every single one of them had the same expression as Gao Yumo—an expression of utter astonishment at the painting, so astonished that they lost their senses. It was too perfect!

It took Gao Yumo about a minute to come back to his senses. When he looked at the painting again, he no longer felt the same amazement he had when he first saw it. Of course, it was still very amazing. This was the best painting he had ever made!

He had been in a state he couldn't quite define, almost unconsciously, when he finished the painting. That's why he was so lost in thought when he looked at his own work after it was finished.

Then he noticed the girls around him, all of them staring at the painting, each with the same expression. Had he been like that just now?

Why does this painting have this effect? ​​He looked at his painting again.

The painting depicts Gao Yuyangkui in the same posture she had just been sitting in. Gao Yumo hadn't added any of the changes she had originally intended, but the clothes were altered: a pure white long dress, a flower crown on her head, a very natural sitting posture, and a natural smile radiating the same warmth as always—a face of unparalleled beauty.

This is already Gao Yumo's best painting, but it certainly wouldn't be enough to amaze him and the girls to the point of being mesmerized.

If you look at this painting for even a moment, you'll see the figure of an angel appear behind Takaha Yuuki in the painting! The angel's outstretched wings partially envelop Takaha Yuuki, and the halo above her head shines with a warm light. The angel's hands are in a prayerful gesture, as if praying for her beloved, her eyes closed. And the angel's appearance is unmistakably that of Takaha Yuuki herself! The same heartwarming smile!

Moreover, the holy light emanating from behind the angel seemed so real, shining into the eyes of those who looked at the painting, as if they were being healed, and all their fatigue was swept away.

But if you look at the painting again, you will find that there is no angel in the painting. There is only Takaha Yuuki sitting there. But the angel is not an illusion. It is not an illusion that can only be seen by one person. It is a phantom that everyone can see. She really exists there. If you look carefully, the angel behind Takaha Yuuki will appear and the warm holy light will shine on the viewer.

This was something Gao Yumo couldn't understand at all. There was only one possibility, so he quickly opened his system.

really!

His drawing skills have just been upgraded!

It became his first LV10 skill, and this painting was one of the reasons that allowed him to upgrade his painting skills. The angelic phantom should be the effect of a LV10 painting skill.

One by one, the girls around her woke up, snapping out of their daze. They looked at Gao Yumo and his painting, and just as Gao Yuyangkui had said, they finally saw the actual effect of the story Gao Yuyangkui had told them, or rather, an even stronger one.

"It's amazing! I have no idea how they did it!" Eriri, as an artist, was very qualified to comment, but she had no idea how to comment, since this was something she had never seen or even heard of before.

"Is this me? Is this really me?" The most moved person was of course Gao Yu Yang Kui. She was so moved that she couldn't believe it. Even though she had just thought about how wonderful it might be, she was now so moved that she was about to cry.

Looking at herself in the painting, whether as the seated figure or the angel in the shadows, she fully realized her place in Xiao Mo's heart. It turned out she was just like her; she also considered Xiao Mo her angel, and she, in turn, was Xiao Mo's angel.

"This might be the pinnacle of painting, right? Congratulations to brother for achieving something unique in the world!" Yuki said excitedly and led the applause. The girls followed suit and clapped, celebrating Gao Yumo's painting reaching its peak.

"Thank you everyone. To be honest, I don't know how I broke through, but I have a plan." Gao Yumo said with a smile, "What's needed is emotion, at least that's what I think. When I was painting this picture, I didn't have much of a conscious thought. I just painted all my feelings for Yang Kui into it, and that's how this painting came to be."

....0 0

When everyone was around, he called Gao Yu Yangkui "Yangkui," which shows how much emotion he put into the painting. The reason his painting skills broke through to LV10 is that he knows how to infuse emotional energy into his paintings.

The holy light in the painting appeared real to both angels; it was indeed holy light. In other words, Gao Yumo, through the emotions she poured into the painting, made the phantom in the painting emit real holy light, and at a very high level—a level that neither of the two angels believed they could reach. That's why they were more surprised than the other girls.

"Is that so?" Gao Yuyangkui was so moved that she almost cried. She never expected that she would become the key to Xiao Mo's breakthrough.

Gao Yumo looked at Gao Yuyangkui, walked over and hugged her tightly. The aftereffects of infusing a huge amount of emotion into this painting had not yet dissipated, and his feelings for Yangkui were still accumulating in his heart, so he needed to clear them away, which meant he wanted to be close to Yangkui for a while, just for a short time.

The girls smiled as they watched the two of them interact; it was a truly heartwarming scene.

They looked at Gao Yumo's painting again, but only from a distance. No one went over to examine it closely, afraid of accidentally dirtying or damaging it.

Even Satania, that clumsy girl, didn't take a step forward; in fact, she took a few steps back. She knew very well that she might accidentally damage something. Satania, who didn't have much artistic talent, couldn't bear to see the painting damaged in the slightest, which showed just how destructive the painting was.

(The picnic is almost over. This is a long post, and I don't know if you will find it too long. There were originally a few more characters who would appear, but I cut out their scenes because I was afraid you would think it was too long.)

Chapter 142 Waiting for him to return to question him! (2 updates)

A little while later, the girls were back on the picnic mat chatting and drinking black tea, which had been brewed in advance and kept in a thermos.

Meanwhile, Gao Yumo and Gao Yuyangkui were still hugging each other, but they seemed to be chatting, so the other girls didn't disturb them.

Gao Yumo's painting was still there, and no one touched it. They wanted to turn it so it faced them, but they didn't dare to, afraid of damaging the painting.

"You mean the holy light we saw was real?" Umaru's surprised voice rang out, drawing the girls' attention.

Umaru and Gabriel were chatting, and Gabriel was telling Umaru about her discovery.

“Yes, that holy light wasn’t just an ordinary illusion; it really had the effect of holy light. Even as an angel, I felt a warm sensation in my body, which means it had an effect on me. This indicates that it was a very high-level holy light. I’ve only ever seen this level of holy light on my sister and the principal of the angel school.” Gabriel nodded, sharing her experiences as an angel.

The girls were surprised again. Was it not just an illusion or a mirage? This had reached the level of magic or fantasy!

However, after thinking about it again, they realized that they had already seen angels and demons, so it didn't seem so unacceptable. Therefore, they quickly accepted this premise.

"But it doesn't have the full effect of Holy Light. Although it feels very comfortable, it doesn't have the healing or demon-repelling effects." Raphiel said, looking at Satania. There were still many effects of Holy Light missing. Although it was real Holy Light, it was incomplete. However, she believed that if she told Mo Jun about these effects of Holy Light, Mo Jun should be able to draw them.

Satania nodded: "Indeed, I didn't feel uncomfortable, but rather warm. We demons shouldn't feel this way when facing the Holy Light."

Vinette nodded in agreement. Demons are terrified of holy light, but they had just felt a warm sensation.

"Because in my heart, Yang Kui's smile can heal everyone's soul, including demons, of course," Gao Yumo explained from beside them.

"Are you finished talking?" Yuki looked at him and Yang Kui's mother and said with a smile.

"Mmm." Yang Kui smiled gently and nodded. This was a long conversation with Xiao Mo that they hadn't had in a long time. The two of them had just told each other a lot about themselves. They had fewer and fewer secrets between them and trusted each other more and more. Even though they were each other's most trusted people, it was still the same. They probably only had those secrets left that they couldn't tell each other for the time being. If they told each other those secrets, their relationship would undergo a dramatic change, a positive change.

“My painting embodies all my feelings for Yang Kui, so the holy light emitted by that phantom is also my feelings for Yang Kui. It’s different from the holy light of you angels. It’s simply a holy light that warms everyone, which is why you feel warm, and you two demons didn’t feel any harm,” Gao Yumo continued to explain.

The girls also gained a better understanding of his abilities after his painting reached its peak.

"Has your drawing really reached its peak?" Eriri asked. This was something all the girls were curious about, especially Ayano Iida. If Takahata Sumi's drawing had reached its peak, her future manga would be incredibly popular! But that effect was too fantastical, so let's forget about it.

"Yes and no." Gao Yumo smiled and shook her head. "The peak is just the pinnacle of our world. Who knows if there are other worlds, or even more skilled painters?"

The girls understood; Gao Yumo was being modest, implying that he had indeed reached the pinnacle of the world.

"That's wonderful," Eriri said enviously. "When will I be able to draw at this level?"

“You can do it too in the future. I will teach you, including Mashiro,” Gao Yumo said.

"Really?" Mashiro asked, her expression changing slightly. You could tell she was a little excited. She really wanted to have the same effect as before, but she tried it herself and didn't succeed. She felt it was because her emotions were too bland.

"I'll teach you when we get back, but Eriri might need to further refine her drawing skills," Gao Yumo said with a smile. Eriri, who had been looking forward to it, immediately looked disappointed. She wondered how long it would take to reach Mashiro's level. After all, one should reach Mashiro's level before learning Gao Yumo's current skill, right?

"By the way, Yang Kui just told me about the Eromanga Ray that Sagiri's biological mother knows. I have to say she's definitely a genius. It's a unique technique for completing my painting. It's a real shame you didn't learn it, Sagiri," Gao Yumo said to Sagiri in the video on her phone.

Sagiri's mood has improved somewhat, after all, she was just healed by the holy light in Gao Yumo's painting, but Gao Yumo's words have made her depressed again.

"Yes, sigh." She sighed, remembering the things her mother had wanted to teach her, but which she hadn't been able to.

Gao Yumo scratched his head, realizing he had said the wrong thing, and quickly comforted him, "I'll teach you my techniques when we get back. Maybe you can master your mother's skill, or even surpass her?"

Sagiri nodded, her mood improving: "That's true. I already have some ideas. When we get back, brother, you have to teach me the methods!"

"Definitely..."

Gao Yumo said to the girls, "I'll go to the villa over there to get the tools and save this painting."

The girls nodded in agreement; that was indeed the case.

He then looked at Ayano Iida: "How about we both set off again?"

Ayano nodded: "This painting is more important. You should save it first. I'll explain over there."

Gao Yumo nodded, carefully picked up the painting, and walked towards the villa over there.
