Chapter 166 - 166: Going Against Her Heart
“Oh, I see. You scared me.”
Only then did Hai Tang’s expression return to normal. Seeing the mage’s smile, she immediately understood that she had been teased by the mage. Remembering the news she had just seen about the mage, she deliberately asked, “”ls the gossip online about the celebrity Dharma Cultivator keeping five or six beautiful women in his house true?”
“Of course it’s true.” Fa Xiu understood that this was Hai Tang’s retaliation, so he also lied through his teeth.””Not only five or six, but there are actually dozens of beautiful women with different skin colors and races. When I go back, I’ll ask them to walk the runway for me. When you’re free, you can come to my house to admire them together.”
Hai Tang was amused. Of course, she could tell that Fa Xiu was talking nonsense, so she smiled and shook her head.””Let Haiyuan go. He’ll lose his idol filter for you after watching it.”
The Dharma Cultivator also laughed, and his eyes flickered with starlight. Hai
Tang realized that the Dharma Cultivator was actually very cheerful, very different from his usual attitude at events.
Perhaps this was the reason why Hai Yuan was deeply impressed by him after interacting with him. Magic cultivators had a very friendly and special charisma.
After the atmosphere became harmonious, Fa Xiu straightened his expression and said, “The dress you designed for me yesterday was really great. I never had such a good effect on the red carpet before. You’re the most talented person I’ve ever seen. My company wants to get your contact information to talk about long-term cooperation with you. I want you to be my full-time designer, but since we know each other privately, I think I should ask you myself. What do you think?”
Hai Tang heard this and thought carefully.
If she signed a long-term cooperation agreement with the Dharma Cultivator’s company, it would mean that she could only make clothes for the Dharma Cultivator from now on. This would go against her original intention of learning art from the beginning.
She had chosen to major in art in university because she thought she could discover the beauty in life. She had imagination and wanted to express the beauty in her mind in various forms.
The Fire Vampire costume that he had designed for the Dharma Cultivator was also made because he had an inspiration and wanted to express his gratitude to the Dharma Cultivator.
From the beginning to the end, Hai Tang had wanted her to design and draw out of her hobby and interest.
Thus, Hai Tang answered cautiously,’”‘ I’m sorry, Dharma Cultivator, but I can’t agree to work with your company. From the beginning, I only wanted to be a freelance painter and designer. It was an accident that I met you and became famous. I’m very grateful for this opportunity, but I don’t want to go against my heart. I hope you can understand.”
The mage’s blue eyes looked unblinkingly at Hai Tang. After hearing her out, the mage nodded in understanding and said in a relaxed tone,’”‘Of course I can understand. That’s what I replied to my company. I said that there’s a high chance that I won’t hire you. You should have a better development and see a wider world.”
Hai Tang’s eyes curved.” I didn’t think too much about it. It’s already very good for now.’
“Then, we’re already friends, right? Then you can at least help me make some clothes out of friendship, right?”The Dharma Cultivator winked at her.
Hai Tang inexplicably saw a cunning look in his eyes, but she still politely replied, ‘”‘0f course, I won’t reject an individual order.”
“That’s great.” The Dharma Cultivator immediately became happy. He clapped his hands and said excitedly,”ln a while, I still have a racing competition in Country F. I want to have a cool new style to show off. Can you help me make an ornamental racing suit?”
“Ornamental racing suit?” Hai Tang repeated it and revealed a troubled expression. She hesitated and said,””l’ve never dabbled in the knowledge of racing clothing, so I’m afraid I can’t make it.”
“You can definitely do it.” Fa Xiu gave her an encouraging and trusting look and said, “”You have so many wonderful ideas and genius design talent. You can definitely make a racing suit that will shock the entire racing world.”
Seeing Hai Tang still hesitate, Fa Xiu said,””ln order to express my gratitude to you, in addition to the remuneration, I can ask the organizer for two tickets to the infield. You can bring your brother to watch the race with your own eyes..”
