274: Chapter 274 Classic Paper Dolls

Lin Yuelan looked even more expectant: "With our figures and facial features, we aren't half bad, right? The only thing is our skin, which is a bit worse—slightly dark, and we have scars on our bodies. If we could really become as fair as those two women, wouldn't that completely bewitch Han Jingyang? Hehe, we are sisters, twins. I refuse to believe any man could withstand our temptation."

Lin Yuegui felt both angry and shy: "What are you thinking about all day? To even say such things… have you no shame?"

"Hehe, good sister, don't be angry. I'm just saying. But come to think of it, following Han Jingyang really isn't a bad deal. There are tons of benefits and almost no downsides. Plus, he hasn't restricted our freedom. If we don't want to work one day, we can just hand in our resignation. Would he kill us just because we quit?"

"It's not impossible."

"No, he isn't that kind of person," Lin Yuelan said decisively. "My brain isn't as sharp as yours, but I have some experience when it comes to judging people. I can tell from how he treats that old man surnamed Sun. Han Jingyang has principles and a bottom line, completely different from the scumbags we've seen in the underworld."

"Have you thought it through?"

"Yeah, I have. Even if we leave, we have to fleece him a bit more first. This is a super invincible treasure trove; there's no reason to enter a mountain of treasure and return empty-handed."

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. If you really want to work with him, you have to be mentally prepared to stay by his side for ten or even twenty years. Although he is generous, he won't clearly let himself be taken advantage of. He can give you many benefits, but trying to fleece him without his permission is as difficult as ascending to heaven. That saying is perfect: if he gives to you, he doesn't care about a mountain of gold, but if he doesn't want to give it to you, don't even think about taking a single needle from his hands."

Lin Yuelan nodded heavily: "If we could really obtain a constitution like those two women, what would thirty years matter?"

"As long as you know what you're doing, just don't regret it later."

"With a good sister like you by my side, I wouldn't regret it even if we went to hell."

As the sisters were talking, someone suddenly greeted them: "Two young ladies…"

Lin Yuelan turned her head and said in surprise: "Mr. Sun, what a coincidence."

It was indeed Sun Fuchang.

Sun Fuchang waved and greeted them with a chuckle: "Why did you leave?"

"The business over there is finished."

"Oh? Aren't you working for Brother Han?"

"We are, but we just joined today and aren't officially on the payroll yet. We were just looking for a place to stay."

"Have you found one?"

"Not yet."

"In that case, I have a vacant apartment. If you two don't mind…"

"How big is it?"

"Not big, a small unit of just over a hundred square meters."

"That's not small at all. Is it far?"

"It's right nearby. All the appliances and furniture are complete. The decoration is a bit old, but it's definitely clean!"

"Can we take a look?"

"I'll lead the way…"

Jiguang Zhai.

Liu Jing curiously examined the four Flower Fairies and even tried to reach out and touch them.

Zou Shuying flashed to Han Jingyang's side and smiled: "This lady, that is a very impolite behavior."

Liu Jing said sheepishly: "I wanted to see if you have physical bodies."

Zou Shuying shook her head: "Naturally, we do not."

Han Jingyang reached out and gently placed his hand on Zou Shuying's soft, pink cheek.

Zou Shuying did not dodge.

But he didn't touch anything.

They truly had no physical bodies.

Shi Xiaoya, however, stared at the painting for a long time: "Hubby, this painting hasn't undergone Consecration yet, right? If it were to undergo Consecration, would there be a chance for them to possess physical bodies like the ones at Chaotian Temple?"

Han Jingyang frowned: "I can't be sure about that, because the effect after Consecration is random. Although it's not one hundred percent random, any slight accident could cause the four of them to disappear completely."

"So, you mean nothing is certain?"

"Correct."

"Actually, I think it might be worth a try. The four sisters can decide for themselves."

Han Jingyang turned to look at the four Flower Fairies.

Zou Shuying furrowed her cute brows: "What does Consecration mean?"

Shi Xiaoya answered hastily: "Your master is a highly skilled practitioner who has mastered a unique method of Consecration. He can perform Consecration on objects with the potential for it, granting them all sorts of incredible functions. This painting has the potential for Consecration, but the state after Consecration cannot be specified—it is random. It might cause you to vanish into thin air, it might grant you physical bodies, or it might cause other changes. Now you need to make a decision: do you want to accept the Consecration?"

The four Flower Fairies looked at each other.

The Plum Blossom Fairy, Zou Feixiang, was the first to nod: "We can."

Zou Handan also spoke up: "I think it's worth a try."

Zou Shuying sighed: "We sisters have walked hand in hand for over a hundred years and possess memories spanning several centuries, yet we are trapped in this painting all day long. If there is a chance to possess a real body like a normal person and even leave the painting to walk about, it is worth trying, no matter how high the risk."

Zou Rushuang didn't speak, but she nodded heavily.

Obviously, the four sentient little fairies also longed for real bodies and the freedom to move about.

Han Jingyang sighed.

The risk of this is really very high.

There is certainly no loss for me.

But for the four Flower Fairies, it is akin to dancing before the gates of hell. A single slip-up and they could truly vanish into thin air and disappear completely.

That little woman Shi Xiaoya just told the truth, but she used rhetorical techniques to give the four Flower Fairies a more optimistic feeling, which makes it look like she was inducing them to make that choice.

She was jealous.

She was even jealous of Flower Fairies without physical bodies.

Well, these four Flower Fairies have the capital to make any woman in the world jealous. Apart from not having physical bodies, everything else about them is top-tier. They are truly people who walked out of a painting, 2D characters from the fantasies of countless shut-in men who have stepped into reality, and they are the most authentic classical 2D characters at that.

And there are four of them at once. Who could withstand that?

Fortunately, looking at the reaction of the four Flower Fairies, they had long since grown tired of living only in the painting and longed even more for real bodies and a free life.

Thinking this, he took a deep breath: "Then, please, the four of you, return to the painting first."

The four Flower Fairies looked at each other and returned to the scroll simultaneously.

Now, looking at the scroll again, it was just an ordinary ancient painting, no different from any other.

Of course, looking closely, there was still a slight difference. The flowers in the painting were truly swaying, as if greeting people—it was quite peculiar.

Han Jingyang recorded it with his phone, but the image didn't change at all; it hadn't moved from beginning to end.

Obviously, the swaying he saw wasn't actually swaying, but rather the special ability of the Flower Fairies.

It's just that this ability is really a bit weak. Not to mention comparing it to Chaotian Temple, it's even far inferior to the Bridal Gown Woman.

Hopefully, after identification, he can strengthen them a bit.

Otherwise, they could really only serve as mascots.

Vanish into thin air?

Sigh, hopefully, their luck will be better.

Luck?

Wait, perhaps he could try that item he obtained earlier?

Han Jingyang put away the scroll, walked into the inner room, closed the door, took out an item from the cabinet, and said to the scroll: "For the four of you, I've really spared no expense. In a moment, I will use a top-tier dharma instrument to add some luck for you. I hope the result is good. Get ready, I'm starting."
