Chapter 66 - Mysterious Painting

However, Sifeng's steps were stopped when Sifeng crossed a painting hanging on one of the walls.

Yushen noticed the strangeness of Sifeng who suddenly stopped his steps.

"What are you doing, A-Feng? Are you feeling dizzy again?" said Yushen, full of panic.

Well, Yushen realized that his brother's health was becoming increasingly unstable. Sometimes Sifeng feels dizzy, sometimes Sifeng also faints suddenly. And not infrequently Sifeng also vomited a lot of blood.

However, Sifeng's dire state only lasted for a moment. Sifeng will be back on the mend in just a few hours.

It really made Yushen feel even more guilty. Had Yushen not tried to find the whereabouts of the missing Zhishu in the Heizhugou Valley, surely they would never have come to that God Realm.

Yushen patted Sifeng's shoulder again, who had been silent for a long time. That made Sifeng even more panicked.

"A-Feng, what are you doing? Why are you silent, A-Feng?" said Yushen who was now even more panicked because Sifeng was still as silent as a statue.

Sifeng raised his right hand, signaling that his brother was quiet.

"Did you hear that, Yu Gege?" Sifeng asked. He sharpened his hearing.

"Hear what, A-Feng? Are you starting to hallucinate again?" guessed Yushen, smiling disdainfully.

"Ahhh, I'm serious, Yu Gege! His voice is very clear, Lao Yu. Like a woman's voice. Yes, he said 'get me out! save me!' Sifeng spoke.

A moment later, Sifeng focused his gaze on a painting beside him. "Yes, the voice is from this fox-shaped painting, Yu Gege!" Sifeng shouted in disbelief.

"Ah, you're ridiculous, A-Feng! Is it because you're so stressed from work that you're going crazy, huh?! How could an inanimate object be….?"

Yushen's words stopped when he saw the fox's eyeballs in the painting move. Yushen even jumped in surprise and clutched his chest.

"I told you, Lao Yu! The fox in the painting seems to be alive!" Sifeng said. After that, Sifeng looked around for Lian Ji's whereabouts.

"Okay, I'm very curious and want this painting. I'll ask Lian Jiejie for it," said Sifeng again, so enthusiastic.

However, Yushen's mind was a little confused when he heard his brother's intentions. Yushen thought of all the consequences if they brought the painting. Is the painting harmless? Don't let his brother's recklessness bring back disaster for them, Yushen thought.

Meanwhile, Sifeng had even managed to get the painting with the help of Lian Ji. Of course, how could Madam Wang just give away the painting she bought for 3 hundred yen from a Japanese painter. If not for the persuasion of her daughter, Lian Ji.

Zhang Yushen and Zhang Sifeng entered a luxurious apartment. They slam themselves into soft mattresses with black bad covers. What a tiring day, they complained.

Well, currently Sifeng and Yushen are relaxing on the luxurious bed in Yushen's apartment. It's a glamorous life, they have their own luxury apartments.

However, their happiness cannot be measured only by money. Even though they have a lot of money, there are still many problems in life that they have to face.

They still lay their bodies on the bed. A moment later, Sifeng's eyes fell on the painting they had placed on the sofa. The painting is covered with a white cloth.

Slowly, Sifeng approached the painting and removed the white cloth covering the painting.

After a moment of silence, Sifeng jumped when he heard the voice again.

"Get me out! Save me!" A voice coming from the painting was getting louder and clearer in Sifeng's ears.

Yushen, who was also curious, approached the painting as well. Yushen stood next to Sifeng.

"It's true what you said earlier, A-Feng. I now also hear the voice from the painting, A-Feng!"

"I told you, I'm not lying, Lao Yu! The image of the fox in the painting is really alive!" Sifeng reassured his brother.

"Then what is the meaning of saying that? Saving who? I really don't understand, A-Feng." Yushen spoke, confused. Yushen was now observing every scratch that formed the fox.

Could the fox painting be alive?

***

Zhang Yushen was now observing every scratch that formed the fox.

"Get me out of this painting, please! Draw 9 tails for me, then I will be able to get out of this painting."

A voice sounded again, but neither Sifeng nor Yushen's. Well, that voice came from that fox painting again. Like a woman's voice.

Sifeng rummaged through his brother's drawer, hoping to find the color paint and the brush. Sifeng acted quickly and wanted to immediately draw the tail for the painting.

Yushen, who felt that his drawer had been ransacked by Sifeng, was annoyed. Yushen came closer to Sifeng and hit his sister on the back of the head.

"Hey, there are important documents in that drawer, A-Feng! Don't carelessly mess with my stuff, you idiot!!" Yushen's shout and his hand hitting Sifeng's head managed to startle Sifeng.

Sifeng turned around and raised both his hands.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry, Yu Gege! I just wanted to find a brush and ink, My Dear Brother." Sifeng smiled guiltily. He reorganized Yushen's drawer.

Zhang Yushen walked towards his secret room. It seems that Yushen once kept the writing utensils belonging to his adoptive sister Xiuxiu, Sifeng's long-deceased ex-girlfriend. Xiuxiu really liked to write calligraphy in the past.

Zhang's Brother's love story is indeed very complicated. Sifeng loves Yushen's adoptive sister. Then, after Yushen's adoptive brother died by suicide, Yushen took Zhishu, who was Sifeng's lover at the time. Yushen did that only to take revenge on Sifeng because Sifeng had caused his brother Yushen to commit suicide. However, in the end Yushen and Zhishu fell in love with each other. Complicated, isn't it?

A few moments later, Yushen had returned with a brush, ink and an inkstone.

Seeing that, Sifeng became very enthusiastic. Sifeng grabbed the equipment and started drawing.

"Whose does this equipment belong to, Lao Yu?" asked Sifeng as he poured ink into the inkstone.

"They all belong to Xiu Jiejie," Yushen replied casually. However, he didn't realize that anyone would flinch when he heard that name.

Suddenly, Sifeng's body shook violently when Yushen said the name. Yes, the guilt is still there. Even though it's been more than 2 years. Sifeng still feels guilty about Xiuxiu's death. Sifeng had a hand in Xiuxiu's death. That night Sifeng and Xiuxiu had a big fight and ended with Xiuxiu feeling disappointed.

Sifeng actually didn't want to remember that incident anymore. At that time, Sifeng only told Xiuxiu to leave him, because Sifeng felt that he was not a man who deserved to be with a woman as good as Xiuxiu. However, Xiuxiu misunderstood and thought that Sifeng didn't love Xiuxiu anymore. Xiuxiu ended her life feeling disappointed in herself.

Sifeng's body was still shaking as he recalled the incident when they had fought. Before the next day, Xiuxiu's body was found falling from Sifeng's apartment building.

Yushen noticed the change in his brother's attitude. Yushen acted quickly and took the ink and inkstone that had almost slipped from Sifeng's trembling hand.

"Give it to me, A-Feng! Let me paint! I know, apart from making trouble you have no other skills, right?" Yushen ridiculed Sifeng, trying to distract Sifeng from drowning in grief.

Well, it worked. Now, Sifeng is even more annoyed at being labeled a troublemaker by his own brother.

"Oii, I'm not a troublemaker, Zhang Yushen!" shouted Sifeng, annoyed. Sifeng glared at his brother's eyes while pointing at Yushen.

"You remember, Lao Yushen! I will be a successful person someday. Just you wait! After my 'Robot Theme Park' project is successful, you will be proud of me, Lao Yushen." Sifeng boasted. He patted his chest, proudly.

"Hmm, hao, hao! I'll be looking forward to that time, Xiao Feng! But … why would I doubt your abilities, huh? It seems, I'm not sure that your 'Robort Theme Park' project will be completed so quickly. You are a very slow at work," Yushen sneered back, which irritated Sifeng even more.

"Zhang Yushen! You just can't make my heart happy, huh?!" Sifeng shouted. Sifeng now even ruffled Yushen's straight hair.

"Hey, stop it, Xiao Feng! You ruined my hairdo, you idiot!"

Yushen pushed Sifeng so hard that Sifeng fell to the floor.

Yushen, who saw his brother complaining that her buttocks hurt, felt sorry. However, Yushen would not help Sifeng stand up for now.

Yushen sat on the sofa that had a painting of the shape of a fox on it too.

"So isn't this painting it? You keep bothering me, Fool!" Yushen snapped again.

"It's up to you, Lao Yu!" Sifeng replied, so reluctantly. Sifeng was now even sitting away from his brother. Sifeng was afraid of being bullied by Yushen again.

Yushen started painting 9 tails on the back side of the fox using ink.

After Yushen managed to draw the 9 foxes, suddenly a lightning flashed. Followed by the sound of thunder. A strong wind suddenly pierced through the room, sending several objects falling from their place.

Suddenly Sifeng ran over and hugged his brother's arm.
