The "Classic of Mountains and Seas Monster, Zou Yu Portrait" didn't hold any surprises. Lin An always proceeded with care, and since he had made thorough preparations, everything that followed was simply a matter of going through the motions.
Finally, as he placed the last stroke, the painting before him suddenly lit up, trembling and twisting in its frame.
Clang!
It was as though the sound of a mallet crashing onto a table could be heard, or perhaps it was the sound of finality, sealing the deal. There was no more green in the painting within the frame, only the portrait of an animal similar to a 'snow leopard' remained.
"Huh?"
Lin An looked at the painting with a hint of curiosity. It was different from the black cat portrait, possessing an indescribable...
Impurity.
As if realizing something, Lin An suddenly waved his hand lightly, flipping the frame to reveal that the back of the canvas still looked like a green-leather canvas.
