Chapter 542 Gretchen: I Like Sister Bai Zhi
"Alright, alright, I'll take care of the money later. Let's get Eden and Gretchen's resurrection sorted out first."
Bai Zhi sighed, while pondering who to ask for the money later.
"It's all ready. I just need to press a button, and they'll wake up."
"it is good."
Bai Zhi easily found her way to the place where a bunch of glass jars were placed.
Here, she could already see Gretchen and Eden floating among them, waiting for Mebius to activate their consciousness.
"Consciousness is being infused; the person is about to awaken..."
With this mechanical sound, the liquid inside the tank was emptied, and then the tank was opened.
Bai Zhi stood beside Gretchen's jar, reaching out to catch her soft, boneless body, while Eden used the power of the talisman to float slowly, preventing her from falling to the ground.
"Well…"
Greta made a sound as if in a dream, and seemed to feel someone touching her body, so she subconsciously opened her eyes.
"Sister Baizhi...have we arrived in a new world?"
Gretchen's voice carried a hint of shyness; no one had ever held her in this state before.
But she really liked Bai Zhi's scent; it was warm, like the winter sun, making her want to blend in.
"Yes, a new world has arrived, and so many people are waiting to admire your paintings."
"A new world, I hope there are people in this world who appreciate my songs."
Eden's voice came; she had already awakened on her own, and energy gathered on her body to resemble her original attire.
"I doubt anyone dislikes Eden's song."
"It's still unknown until it's actually put into practice. After all, this is a vast universe, not a tiny place like Earth in the past."
Eden gracefully straightened his clothes and spoke in a calm tone.
"Regarding this, I think the company's publicity department will have a better assessment. Eden, you'll find out soon enough."
"Little Gretchen, can you conjure clothes by yourself?"
Looking at Gretchen in her arms, Bai Zhi asked earnestly.
Because the little Gretchen in front of her did not weave her own clothes with her power like the other heroes, but remained completely naked.
"Waaah... Sister Baizhi, I like it, let me hug you."
Greta didn't answer Bai Zhi's question, but instead put her arms around Bai Zhi's neck.
"It seems this child really likes you."
Eden smiled. Gretchen, this child, usually keeps her heart closed off and expresses those emotions through her paintings.
I've never said I like someone so directly before.
"Okay, hug~" Bai Zhi said gently, while moving her arms to hug the girl even tighter.
While hugging Gretchen, Bai Zhi sniffed. Gretchen had a scent like paper, the scent of untouched white paper waiting to be colored by others.
She really liked this feeling of purity.
……
"Eden, you're here too. Hmm, why is this child so clingy to you?"
At the training ground, Fu Hua, who had just finished her 10th sparring match with Yan Qing, wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked with some confusion at Gretchen, who was following closely behind Bai Zhi, and Eden, who was walking with a light step and looking around at the surroundings.
"I guess I'm just too charming~"
Bai Zhi shrugged.
"Really?" Fu Hua blinked. "But if Kosmo saw this, he'd probably be very jealous."
"That guy's a lolicon, isn't he!"
"Haha, who knows? But he does take extra care of Gretchen. Luckily you're a girl. If you were a boy, Bai Zhi, not only Kosmo, but all the other heroes might have attacked you directly."
“I’m really lucky… But from now on, Gretchen and Eden are probably going to have a lot to do. I’ve already arranged for the people from the company’s publicity department to come and evaluate Gretchen’s paintings and Eden’s singing, in order to make publicity plans.”
"Thank you, Bai Zhi, for allowing us to find our own lives here."
"Hey, you're welcome. Besides, this is a mutually beneficial arrangement, so there's no reason for either of us to thank the other."
Fu Hua smiled slightly, then walked over to Gretchen and patted her head.
“Little Gretchen, you can go with Bai Zhi, she’s a good person.”
Greta looked up and blinked her large, pale purple eyes. "I know, Sister Baizhi... it's very comfortable to be around her, like the sun. I like it very much."
"Very good. If you like your sister Baizhi, then listen to her more often."
"Okay~" Greta answered crisply.
"Then Gretchen is in your care. I hope you can show her more things."
Fu Hua looked at Bai Zhi and said.
Although Gretchen was a hero and had spent tens of thousands of years in paradise, she was still a child at heart and had limited experience.
We still need to see more of the world and communicate with more people.
But this child is too naive and so cute, easily deceived by others, so it would be better to find a strong person to protect him.
Bai Zhi is a girl, and her strength surpasses that of most people, making her the ideal candidate to protect Gretchen.
Of course, it's also because Gretchen likes to be around Bai Zhi.
"Don't worry, if anyone dares to offend Gretsch, I'll beat them so badly they won't recognize their own mothers."
Bai Zhi put her hands on her hips and said confidently.
This is her own little girl. If anyone else dares to touch her, she'll chop off their claws.
"Then I won't take up any more of your time. You and Eden Gretchen should go and do what you need to do."
"Okay, then you and Yanqing can continue with your work."
Bai Zhi greeted them and then led Gretchen and Eden to the Grand Theater.
Because of her announcement, many people from the publicity department of the strategic investment department were already seated here.
Of course, in addition to these people, two special people also came: Funina and Alicia.
"Lady Baizhi, you've arrived. Are these the two young ladies you wanted us to promote?"
Upon entering the Grand Theater, the head of the publicity department greeted them, while simultaneously glancing at Eden and Gretchen behind them.
The moment she saw Eden, she knew he was a rising star; he had the aura of a superstar.
Walking through this grand theater, I actually felt as if the stage was created just for her.
As for Gretchen, she couldn't quite figure her out. The main reason was that Gretchen gave off an impression of purity at first glance.
It was as if there were no other elements, only pure purity, which was very different from the paintings she had seen.
Chapter 543 Gretchen, Greatness Needs No Words
"Well, regarding the promotional strategy for Eden and Gretchen, you will formulate the specifics after assessing their relevant strengths."
"No problem. Shall we look at Miss Eden's or Miss Gretchen's specialties first?"
"Hmm... let's do Gretsch first."
As she spoke, Bai Zhi waved to Gretchen.
"Gresh, come here."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's call, Gretchen stood somewhat timidly behind Bai Zhi, curiously observing the people around her.
Having lived in paradise for tens of thousands of years, she was used to being in sparsely populated spaces. So many people gathered together was a new and somewhat unfamiliar experience for her.
"Little Gretchen, don't be afraid. All you need to do now is pick up your paintbrush and depict the scene in your heart."
As she spoke, Bai Zhi glanced at the propaganda minister and asked, "Have all the necessary documents been prepared?"
"Of course, when you mentioned that this Miss Gretsch is an expert in painting, I had someone prepare the relevant materials. Whether to bring them out first depends on the order in which you decide."
The propaganda minister answered confidently while gesturing to the side.
Immediately, some people quickly and efficiently brought up a bunch of things needed for painting.
"We specifically chose top-of-the-line paints from Windsor, and the brushes are also specially made to ensure that Miss Gretchen has the best painting experience."
"The time has come for you to show your paintings to the whole universe, little Greta!"
"Good~"
Greta readily agreed and then sat down on the small wooden stool in front of the easel.
The girl skillfully picked up the charcoal pencil and sketched a round and vibrant circle on the canvas.
Strangely, bursts of light gradually spread out from around this circle.
On the color palette, Greta carefully blended various warm hues: golden yellow, orange-red, pale purple, and a small amount of white.
These colors will form the main elements of her painting.
She picked up a large, flat-tipped paintbrush, dipped it in golden yellow paint, and began to boldly paint over the center of the canvas.
Each stroke is full of power, yet gentle, as if summoning the dawn and dispelling the chill of the night.
Next, Gretchen switched to a small paintbrush and meticulously depicted the light around the edge of the circle.
She skillfully blended orange-red and white, giving the light a warm and vibrant quality.
As the light gradually changes, the sky above the image transitions to a pale purple, giving a sense of tranquility and beauty.
At the bottom of the image, Greta used green and brown to depict a vibrant meadow dotted with a few small flowers that shone brightly in the sunlight.
In the distance, she added the silhouettes of a few more trees, which cast long shadows in the sunlight, adding a sense of depth.
As Gretchen continued painting, her movements became increasingly fluid, as if she were resonating with the sun in the painting.
Every detail, every ray of light, was imbued with the warm hue she felt from Bai Zhi—like a sun, giving warmth and hope.
Finally, when the last ray of light was meticulously depicted, the entire picture seemed to radiate a warm and inspiring power.
No… it’s not just as if, but as if the sun were truly there, shining through the paper and constantly radiating its light.
It is fictional, yet it exists as if it were real.
"This……"
The propaganda minister stared wide-eyed at the painting, his face bathed in the warm sunlight.
Even more excited than him were the art appreciation experts in the department who had been invited over.
They rushed onto the stage almost immediately, crowding around the painting like rare treasures, even bumping into Bai Zhi.
"This painting is absolutely stunning..." an art connoisseur exclaimed. "Look, that radiant sun is actually shining on us!!"
Another artist nodded in agreement: "Yes, every ray of light seems to have a life of its own, full of emotion!"
The young connoisseur standing nearby added, “That’s right, the emotion behind this painting is what’s most captivating. Can you feel the sunlight? It reminds me of the first time I saw the sunrise as a child, that sense of anticipation for the start of a new day, and the yearning for the infinite possibilities of the future.”
One of the connoisseurs, dressed in celestial attire, hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Lady Baizhi, is Miss Gretsch embarking on a mysterious destiny?"
"Uh... I'm not entirely sure, why?"
Bai Zhi answered the question for Gretchen. Gretchen had just been resurrected, so logically she shouldn't have stepped into her destiny so soon. Besides, she didn't know much about the mystery.
Just like the name of this star god, it is very mysterious.
"Ah, Lady Baizhi, this method of turning the fake into the real is somewhat like the fictional historian under the mysterious star god, which is why I asked this question."
The connoisseur of the celestial vessel bowed slightly and explained.
"Hmm... doesn't seem like it, does it? I remember that if something created by a fictional historian is discovered to be fake, it will be immediately destroyed, right?"
Bai Zhi thought for a moment and then replied.
