Chapter 86: The Whale Carrying the Heroic City!_l
Translator: 549690339
The design style of the fifth floor of Swiss Lion Garden is vastly different from that of the first four floors.
If the various lion sculptures decorating the first four floors could be said to blatantly flaunt its wealth.
While it displays a grandeur, it appears somewhat monotonous and rustic.
The arrangement on the fifth floor can be described as minimalist.
But within this simplicity, there is a unique charm and grandeur.
Golden Soft Kite Wood, each piece worth over a hundred thousand Dragon Soaring Coins.
The best quality piece can even fetch around two hundred and fifty thousand Dragon Soaring Coins.
It is one of the more expensive varieties among golden-grade woods.
Due to its softness and exceptional durability, Soft Kite Wood is often used to make beds.
Yet, the Lionheart Brigade used such wood to cover a large area of the floor!
The fifth floor spans an area of at least six to seven hundred square meters.
If the entire floor is laid out with Soft Kite Wood, it would at least take two to three hundred pieces.
Walking on a Soft Kite Wood floor feels like stepping on a plush cashmere carpet.
Even before lifting a foot, one can feel the gentle bounce-back of the Soft Kite Wood.
This type of comfort is beyond what the top tycoons in Fang Muâs previous life could experience.
Because this kind of enjoyment is exclusive to the Beastmaster world, which possesses many rare Guardian Beasts.
A long gallery winds around half of the fifth floor of Swiss Lion Garden, ending in a vestibule.
The vestibule completely separates the gallery from the quiet room.
Stepping over the vestibule, one can enter the only quiet room on the fifth floor.
Inside the room hangs a huge painting.
On the painting, one can vaguely see a giant whale, floating high in the sky.
The whaleâs back seems to hold up a colossal city-state.
Seeing Fang Mu gazing at the painting on the wall while sipping tea,
Lu Yuyu spoke.
âThe original of this painting comes from historic records circulating within the Purple Que School Palace.â
âThe Purple Que School Palace exhibited it at an anniversary celebration. Itâs an ancient painting handed down either from the Fifth or the Sixth Epoch.â
âAfter that exhibition, many craftsmen have attempted to reproduce it.â
âThis mural was carved into a platinum-grade Tangli Wood panel using bas-relief.â
âIt is probably crafted by a Master-level craftsman!â
âIf youâre interested in this type of ancient painting, I can have a
Grandmaster-level craftsman from my family carve it directly into the ceiling of the room.
Fang Muâs attention was indeed drawn by the painting on the wall.
A giant whale carries a grand city, soaring in the sky.
Among the swirling clouds, a rainbow even straddles the back of the giant whale!
Such a scene is extraordinarily majestic!
Perhaps somewhere in the world, this magnificent creature akin to a sacred relic still exists!
But instead of the painting, Fang Mu was thinking more about Fang Qin, who was guarding outside the door.
Because he said he wanted to talk to Luo Su alone, Luo Su didnât let Fang Qin, who acted as an assistant, stay by his side.
Fang Mu, who pulled his gaze back from the painting, subconsciously glanced outside the door.
This action was keenly observed by Luo Su.
Ehh? Could Jianmu actually have any thoughts about Fang Qin?!
Otherwise, Jianmu wouldnât focus his energy on Fang Qin.
Luo Su values Fang Qin and supports her in finding love but will not make decisions for her.
On the contrary, Luo Su thought if Jianmu really had feelings for Fang Qin, he should help Fang Qin scrutinize him carefully.
Luo Su was always struggling to find a topic to communicate with Jianmu.
Since Jianmu seems to care so much about Fang Qin, he might as well use this to get closer to Jianmu.
If Jianmu is of good character and also handsome, it doesnât matter if he is a bit young!
Itâs often said that younger men are more affectionate, though he doesnât know whether itâs true or false!
Of course, even if Jianmu is outstanding in all aspects, if Fang Qin doesnât like him, it will all be in vain!
âThe assistant just now is named Fang Qin, a very excellent lady.â
âIt seems youâve been watching her quite a lot; have you met her before?â
Fang Mu didnât react to his words and picked up the cup of tea on the table, taking a small sip.
âI have indeed met her before!â
Are you kidding, he hasnât seen his own big sister before!?
When they were young, even though he could eat on his own, there were countless times his big sister fed him with a spoon.
Since their parents were usually busy, Fang Qin was the one who looked after him most of the time.
In order to act like a normal child, Fang Mu had no choice but to play along which led to him wetting his pants several times.
Fang Qin even helped him change diapers!
Luo Su knew he has a habit of conjecturing.
What he said just now was only to start a conversation with Jianmu.
But he didnât expect to gain an unexpected surprise!
But why did Jianmuâs voice change?
Although Jianmuâs voice isnât as deep as before.
Truth be told, the voice now sounds better than before.
Since Jianmu really had met Fang Qin, Luo Su decided to continue the subject.
âFang Qin is not even thirty yet, not much older than you.â âShe is already a captain of a special action team!â âShe has two younger brothers and a younger sister at home.â âFang Qin is really responsible to her family!â
Lu Yuyu felt that something was wrong with Luo Su as he spoke.
If you want to talk with Jianmu about Fang Qin, Jianmu has already been talking normally with you!
Why are you still talking about this topic!?
Although Jianmu is wearing a mask now, the person has seen Jianmuâs true face.
Jianmu is definitely not more than eighteen years old.
A woman three years older is worth gold bricks; a teenager can already hold a gold mountain!
Itâs fine to introduce Fang Qinâs excellence, but why introduce the family too?
Didnât you come to talk about elixirs with Jianmu? Why are you treating this like a matchmaking session now?!?
Youâre not really trying to introduce Fang Qin to Jianmu, are you!?
Luo Su! Donât mess around!
Seeing that Jianmu was listening intently, Lu Yuyu didnât feel right to interrupt Luo Su.
Hope Luo Su can be a little reliable, donât say anything awkward if thereâs nothing to talk about!
Why not get to the point quickly?
Luo Su himself is a straightforward person.
Seeing that Jianmu seemed more interested in Fang Qin, Luo Su started talking more freely.
âTo be honest, I feel sorry for Fang Qin!â
âFang Qin herself is extremely talented, but for the sake of her younger siblings, she gave up a hard-earned opportunity not long ago.â
âIf Fang Qin had grabbed this opportunity to form a contract with the Frost Dragon Fish, she could have activated the scant Dragon Bloodline within the Frost Dragon Fish.â
âAnd let the Frost Dragon Fish evolve towards the dragon.â
âThe Frost Dragon Fish was something I specifically contested for her!â
âWho knew she would actually exchange the Frost Dragon Fish for four strands of Flowing Fire Thorns and a bottle of low-frequency spiritual stimulant! â âMost likely, she took them home for her siblings!â
âThis opportunity of Fang Qinâs has much to do with the fact that she broke two fingers in the battle to cover for her team!â
Luo Suâs every sentence was like a needle, piercing Fang Muâs heart.
Fang Muâs heart ached. It was the first time Fang Mu had learned through someone elseâs eyes about the quiet sacrifices Fang Qin made for their family. At the same time, Fang Muâs heart was warmed.
In this life, they have family members who care for them whether in dusk or dawn, sickness, or pain.
As for being an older sister, Fang Qin never considered her own interests.
If Fang Qin had considered herself a bit, she would not have given up the Frost Dragon Fish that was within reach.
The four Flowing Fire Thorns were for Yan Wood, and the low-frequency spiritual stimulant was for him.
When even he himself had given up, his older sister hadnât given up on him.
Fang Mu was never one to express their emotions outwardly.
But at this moment, the corners of their eyes under the mask suddenly became hot.
Warm liquid was slowly seeping from Fang Muâs eyelids.
Fang Muâs lips pressed tightly together.
The fluctuation of emotions seemed to lead Fang Mu into a feeling of weightlessness for a moment.
Fang Mu tried to organize their emotions and tried to calm their thoughts.
But Luo Suâs last sentence really caused Fang Muâs defenses to crumble.
Fang Mu knocked on the table three times with his trembling hand, which is a form of negotiation etiquette in the Beastmaster world.
It meant to wait for a moment.
After he tapped the table with his left hand, Fang Mu stood up directly and walked into the hall.
At that moment, all Fang Mu wanted to do was to give Fang Qin a hug without thinking at all.
Seeing Fang Mu suddenly getting up and leaving, Lu Yuyu felt somewhat panicked.
If it werenât for Fang Mu knocking on the table three times, he would have run out to see whatâs going on no matter what!
Donât let it be that something Luo Su said offended Fang Mu!
When Fang Mu stepped out of the doorway, Luo Su blinked at Lu Yuyu.
âDoes Jianmu have kidney problems at such a young age? That he has to use the restroom so urgently?!â
Lu Yuyu could hardly understand Luo Suâs thought process.
If it werenât for the fact that they were best friends growing up, he might have punched Luo Su and given a wholehearted roll of his eyes in frustration.
Fang Qin stood straight at a distance of fifty meters outside the door.
What seemed like a trip to accompany Luo Su to a trade fair was actually Fang Qin on a mission!
Seeing Jianmu coming out of the room quickly wearing a mask and heading towards herself.
Fang Qin thought it would be polite to greet such a personage as the Disciple of The Founding Sect proactively.
However, before she could say a word, Jianmu rushed towards her and hugged her tightly.
A familiar smell instantly filled Fang Qinâs mind.
It caused her to forget to push Jianmu away immediately.
Just when she was about to use her strength to push, she heard a voice she genuinely recognized by her ear.
âBig sis, I missed you!â
