Chapter 766: Divine Paragon Fanatics

A couple of days have passed since Yuan started studying the Divine-rank demon sealing techniques, and he has managed to learn all 12 techniques in this short time.

'It's almost time for me to visit the Qi Family. Thankfully, I managed to learn all of these techniques before then.' Yuan thought to himself as he prepared to leave.

However, right as he prepared to log off, Yan Hara showed up in the room and said to him, "Little founder! I want you to meet a few of my friends!"

"Huh?"

Yuan turned to look at the entrance, and to his surprise, there was a small group of beautiful women being led by Yan Hara.

The moment these beautiful women laid their eyes on Yuan, they began screaming— the excitement type of scream.

"Whaaa! It's really him! I am having a hard time believing it even though he's standing right there!"

"Heavens! He really looks like the Divine Paragon!"

"I thought you were exaggerating, but alas! I'm sorry for doubting you, Senior Sister!"

The group of women quickly surrounded Yuan and even started touching him as though he was a doll.

"H-Hey! I told you girls that you cannot touch him!" Yan Hara quickly intervened.

"Sorry, little founder. These girls are all big fans of the Divine Paragon, and they begged me to take them to you after they heard the rumors."

"It's alright." Yuan said with a stiff smile on his face. He wasn't unfamiliar with being idolized. In fact, he has been in even more crowded situations.

"Excuse me, little founder! Can I take a picture of you?" One of the ladies there suddenly asked him.

"Huh? A picture?" Yuan raised his eyebrows. He wondered how taking pictures work in this world.

"I will give you this treasure as a compensation!" The woman then showed him a beautiful necklace that radiated with a profound aura.

"Whoa! Are you seriously going to trade that treasure for a picture, Junior Sister?"

Yuan silently stared at the necklace for a moment before shaking his head.

"It's fine, I don't need the treasure. It's just a picture, right? I will do it for free." Yuan said to her.

"Really?! Thank you! Really! Thank you, little founder!" The woman was ecstatic by the results.

"Please, follow me!" The woman said to him.

Yuan nodded and followed her to the area with the Divine Paragon's statue.

"Can you stand beside the statue and look in my direction?"

"Sure."

Once Yuan was standing beside the statue, the woman said, "Now can you do this pose?"

Seeing her pose, Yuan placed his arms behind his back like a scholar.

"Great! Now give me the best smile you've got!"

Yuan pondered for a moment before putting a gentle smile on his face.

"T-That's perfect! Now stay like that for a few minutes!"

The woman suddenly retrieved a large piece of blank paper and a brush, and she quickly began drawing on the piece of paper while staring at Yuan the entire time.

'This is what she meant by 'taking a picture'?' Yuan was dumbfounded by the results. He could've never predicted that she would start drawing him on the spot with a brush.

About fifteen minutes later, the woman finally stopped looking at Yuan to look at the result of her art.

"Perfect!" The woman exclaimed in a trembling voice.

She then turned the paper around to show Yuan her work, and to his absolute surprise, the art looked incredibly surreal, almost as though he was actually living inside the painting!

"What do you think?" She asked him.

"I-I'm speechless. I have never seen such a beautiful painting before, and it only took you a few minutes to draw such a masterpiece!" Yuan couldn't fathom it.

The woman didn't change her brush during the entire process, so he expected the painting to be black and white, but when he saw the painting, it was vivid with colors!

"You may not believe it, but she's actually a really famous painter within the Nine Heavens." Yan Hara said to him.

"There are many people out there that wish to be painted by her, and it would usually cost them an arm and leg." Yan Hara chuckled. This is actually her first time seeing this woman willing to draw someone for free! In fact, she even wanted to pay to paint him!

"Anyways, I demand a copy of that painting, Sister Sun. I am the reason you got that painting today, after all."

Sister Sun nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will make a copy for everyone in the family."

"Family? You're siblings?" Yuan asked.

"Not that kind of family." Yan Hara showed him a mysterious smile.

Seeing her weird smile, Yuan figured that it would be for the best if he didn't ask about it.

"Little founder, here." Sister Sun suddenly extended her hand to him.

Yuan looked at the necklace in her hand and shook his head, "I already said I don't need any payment."

"I know. This is not a payment. This is a gift to celebrate our encounter. That's all."

Although Yuan was still reluctant to accept such a precious-looking treasure, he had to accept it when Sister Sun basically forced it into his hands.

"Thank you…" Yuan said to her afterward.

Sometime later, Yuan said to Yan Hara, "Senior, I will be away for a while. I don't know when I will return to this place."

"That's completely fine, but try to show up a month from now. There will be a competition amongst demon sealers. I will tell you more about it when the time comes."

"Okay. A month, right? I will be here."

After speaking with the ladies for a couple more minutes, Yuan logged off Cultivation Online and began his preparations for his trip to the Qi Family.

Near the end of the day, the Manager showed up to his house to notify him that they will be leaving tomorrow.

"Meet me in the front at sunrise." She said to him.

"I understand.." Yuan acknowledged.
