Chapter 140: Chapter 126 hentai! (〃＞＿＜〃)_1 Chapter 140: Chapter 126 hentai! (〃＞＿＜〃)_1 Mansion of the City Lord, second floor.
The corridors and floors were carpeted in gold and red, while the walls were adorned with many paintings that looked exceedingly valuable, all bathed in the warm yellow light. Everything the eye touched was as splendid as a royal palace.
Wei’er stood below a portrait, silently gazing up at it for a long ti.
Luo Xi had already walked about a dozen ters away when he realized he had lost Cat Cat. He imdiately ran back to look for her.
“Cat Cat, what are you looking at… uh, now’s not the ti to be looking at paintings, right?”
The girl did not respond to him.
Luo Xi walked up to her and, following Wei’er’s gaze, looked up as well.
Although he could not make out the detailed features of the painting, he could still tell it was a portrait of a woman.
Cat Cat murmured softly, “Mom… why is her painting here?”
Luo Xi was montarily stunned, “Is this a portrait of your mother, Liya?”
Wei’er nodded lightly.
Luo Xi imdiately leaned in closer to the portrait, trying to see through the fog before his eyes.
Wei’er pulled Luo Xi back, saying with dissatisfaction, “Why are you getting so close, pervert!”
Luo Xi said speechlessly, “I just wanted to take a closer look, and can you stop calling a pervert?”
Cat Cat nodded and said, “Okay, pervert.”
Luo Xi: “…”
[Note: Forget about Aina, you trash Traveler, think about what you’ve done to Cat Cat. You’ve touched her ears and tail, even ambushed her chest, who else but you deserves to be called a pervert!]
No way! I told you it was involuntary!
Luo Xi asked, “So did you discover anything?”
“Nothing,” Wei’er shook her head. “I only know that this oil painting is signed by an artist nad Xili. The person in the painting is my mom, it’s a half-length portrait, but no other information was revealed.”
“Actually, sothing was revealed.”
Luo Xi pondered, “Since your mother’s portrait can be hung on the walls here, it suggests that she must have had quite a good relationship with the Mansion of the City Lord back then.”
“Yeah,” Wei’er nodded. “That Kilis said my mom was a special Skill Practioner hired by the Mansion of the City Lord, so their relationship may have been good.”
Luo Xi patted the girl’s shoulder, “Let’s go, there will be another opportunity to co back. Next ti, I’ll help you steal it if you want.”
The Dreamland’s knapsack would be truly exceptional for stealing things.
Wei’er nodded heavily.
However, they had taken only a few steps when Cat Cat stopped again. She stared at the paintings on the wall, a look of astonishnt on her face.
“This… this is…”
Before Luo Xi could voice his confusion, the girl started to run, looking at the paintings along the corridor.
One painting, two paintings, three paintings.
Wei’er ran faster and faster.
Luo Xi also sensed sothing.
He looked at these paintings that, to his eyes, seed to have been obscured by a thin mosaic.
Could it be?
Were all the paintings along this corridor those of Liya?
Could the forr City Owner have been Liya’s ardent fan?
Or should I say… a bootlicker?
A maid, hearing Wei’er’s hurried footsteps, ca from around the corner. Upon seeing Wei’er’s actions, she imdiately cautioned, “Miss, please don’t run around; you may damage these valuable paintings!”
Luo Xi quickly went over to take hold of the sowhat distraught Wei’er.
He showed a gentle smile to the maid, “Sorry, this is my partner. She has always been very interested in painting and it’s her first ti seeing so many beautiful paintings, so she got a bit carried away.”
Speaking of which, Cat Cat indeed had an interest in painting. In his knapsack, he still kept a piece of her naive artwork.
[Ding! The maid’s Favorability towards you 10]
“It’s no trouble, sir, but it would be better if your partner could control her excitent,” the maid also smiled. “These paintings indeed capture the essence so exquisitely. A lot of n who co here for the first ti and see the woman in the portraits go crazy asking about her identity.”
Luo Xi glanced at Cat Cat, who was now silent and looking down.
He asked, “May I ask who is the subject of these paintings? I’m quite interested as well.”
“As expected, even an exceptional man like you is interested? Ah, it’s been three years, and no one recognizes her anymore.”
The maid smiled, “Her na is Liya. She used to be the special Skill Master hired by our Mansion of the City Lord. I think she had a cooperative relationship with the Lord here about ten years ago? From the portrait, you can see how beautiful and attractive she was. The old City Owner pursued her for a long ti. There are seventy-eight masterpieces along this corridor, all commissioned by the old City Owner for Lady Liya, costing a pretty penny.”
Luo Xi: “…”
Case solved, the old City Owner was indeed a bootlicker, and a top-tier one at that.
He asked, “Where is Lady Liya now?”
“I don’t know about that, but there’s sothing you should know, right? About the old City Owner’s disappearance.”
The maid glanced to the side and then said with a hint of mystery, “She vanished along with the old City Owner that night three years ago. So say they’ve gone traveling around together. What a wonderful love story, though it was rather irresponsible to leave the whole of Winter City in the hands of the young Lord Hill. If it weren’t for Governor Mazar handling things well, who knows what might have beco of Winter City.”
“Um…”
Luo Xi cracked a smile.
Cat Cat squeezed his hand suddenly, her nails digging deep into his flesh.
Right then, a call ca from the direction of the stairs.
“Gis, where are you? We need to replenish the tea and refreshnts over here.”
“Coming!”
The maid replied and then said to Luo Xi, “I’ll be heading downstairs now, sir. If you get tired of walking, feel free to co down for so tea.”
“Yeah,” Luo Xi nodded.
After the maid left, Cat Cat released his hand, and Luo Xi looked down to find several red nail marks on the back of his hand.
Wei’er squat down powerlessly, murmuring to herself, “Mama couldn’t have had that kind of relationship with the old city lord… It’s not possible.”
This cat-eared girl seed like she was malfunctioning…
Luo Xi patted the girl’s head lightly, knocking off her hat and covering her eyes.
Wei’er got up, pulling her hat back on and said, (>_
