Chapter 225 - 225: His Lover
“Sister-in-law, why are you here too?”
To Shen Chun’s surprise, Zheng An didn’t look flustered at all. Instead, he had a happy smile on his face and looked very calm.
“We can’t stay here for long. I’ll find an exit and bring you out.” Shen Chun was shocked by his behavior. She sized him up carefully for a while and finally confirmed that this young man wasn’t scared silly, but had strong mental fortitude.
He really wasn’t afraid of this place. Instead, he enjoyed it from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Chun looked around. This was a very big courtyard, surrounded by lush trees and expensive flowers. The air was filled with the smell of high-end tar.
Not far away, there was a palace. From afar, one could hear the chatter of the palace servants.
There were too many people sealed in this painting!
Shen Chun’s heart was in her throat. Just as she was about to turn around and walk into the palace, her hand was grabbed.
“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. There are no bad people here.” Under the sunlight, the young man’s gaze was gentle “Can we stay for a while longer?”
Shen Chun couldn’t accept it. “What?”
How could a mortal accept such an unfamiliar place so quickly?
Zheng Ansheng nodded solemnly. “I went in to take a look. The people here are all fake. They’re just dummies made of spiritual energy. They’re divine, but they don’t have souls.”
It seemed that the world in the painting didn’t lock anyone else up. Shen Chun heaved a sigh of relief.
“Since they’re dummies, why not go out earlier?”
Shen Chun touched her pocket. Her cell phone wasn’t with her, so Fu Shi, who was outside, was anxious.
This was just a dummy cage. If she didn’t go out now, she would become like the people inside.
At the thought of this, Shen Chun held the whip in her hand. The lightning in her palm was already accumulating and sizzling.
“My lover is here,” Zheng An said affectionately. “I’ve been in love with him for five years.”
“Lover?” He fell in love with a person in the painting?
Shen Chun sized up him seriously and felt that he might really be mentally insane.
Zheng An held Shen Chun’s hand and led her into the palace. “Come, Sister-in-law, I’ll show you. My mother is also a metaphysician, so I can also see what’s under people’s skin.”
“The human heart is too dirty and empty. Gradually, I began to escape society. However, this painter’s works are all very magical. The characters he draws have the same spiritual aura as humans, but their temperaments are lively and pure. I’m deeply fascinated by them!”
He was getting more and more excited, and even his fingers began to tremble. “I just happened to be in this painting! He’s too beautiful. Every time I look at his replicas, I get so excited that I can’t sleep!”
Shen Chun pondered for a moment before saying, “So when you said that you want me to help you calculate…”
“That’s right! It’s him!” Zheng An’s eyes flashed with possessiveness. “Sister-in-law, I can pay you any amount you want.”
Zheng An pulled Shen Chun along as they ran. After passing through a long corridor and a luxurious hall, Shen Chun realized that he was indeed quite special.
The people here were all like walking corpses and some of them had their facial features drawn haphazardly, so they looked very scary.
All the palace servants walked and talked according to their own pace like a giant music box.
As the smell of sage became stronger and stronger, Shen Chun felt a little dizzy, but Zheng An still rushed forward. “Sister-in-law, we’re here! He’s here!”
Shen Chun resisted the strong urge to vomit and took a closer look. In front of her, there was a very exquisite room.
The golden thread was embedded in the door frame with turquoise crumbs and carried a strong herbal smell.
The young man pressed his forehead against the wooden door frame, as if he had smelled the fragrance of flowers.
“Wayne?” Despite standing so far away from Zheng An, Shen Chun could still feel his strong heartbeat.
This must be true love.
Shen Chun sighed.
Perhaps the world in the painting was better. There wasn’thing wrong with falling in love with the perfect human being.
However, the most important thing now was to escape from this painting with this hopeless romantic.
At this moment, the door opened.
The man who opened the door had blond hair and blue eyes. His exquisite clothes showed that he had a high status, and he had the melancholy and elegance of an ancient European noble. He smiled at Zheng An and said, “Please bring your guest in.”
The moment she saw him, Shen Chun’s heart instantly skipped a beat.
Wasn’t this the painting that was hung in the corridor?!
