Chapter 348: Half a Map on Humeiren and Lady Hu!

Li Mo wasn’t walking fast.

Because he knew Sister Zi was following closely behind.

Since she was here, it was perfect.

Later, he could ask her for help.

“I’m done, take a look.”

In the room, Sister Zi waved the silk cloth in her hand towards Li Mo.

Her eyes instinctively landed on Humeiren, who was sprawled on the bed, gasping for air.

She teasingly mocked, “You’re not doing well, are you? This is a failure?”

Humeiren had no strength left to respond at this moment.

She could only roll her eyes in exasperation.

She had just settled down to take a nap when Li Mo suddenly brought Sister Zi over.

Thinking it was an urgent business matter, she was surprised to find that the urgency was indeed real but not related to business.

Humeiren was confused from start to finish until Li Mo asked Sister Zi to sketch a part of the map on her back, at which point she realized the reason for Li Mo’s sudden change in temperament during the midday.

“These sketches are quite good, but the details are still lacking,”

Li Mo said as he set aside the initial sketches made by Sister Zi and gave an honest critique.

“Bring it here, if you don’t explain clearly, how am I supposed to know what you want me to draw?”

Sister Zi shoved the completed drawings into his hands and effortlessly snatched the earlier silk sheets back from him.

The previous sketches were not maps.

Instead, they depicted two little figures in a fight.

A closer look made it clear that they were actually Li Mo and Humeiren.

The fight was intense, even their clothes were gone!

“By the way, what exactly is this thing, and how did it end up on your back?”

Sister Zi, folding the spring palace drawings she had created herself and hiding them in her sleeve, posed a question to the two of them.

Humeiren clearly hadn’t recovered from the shock yet.

Weakly, she pointed at Li Mo: “Ask him.”

Li Mo helped Humeiren adjust her blanket to cover her delicate figure tinged with a faint flush.

He replied, “It’s a map.”

Sister Zi rolled her eyes: “I’m not blind, I know it’s a map.”

With her intelligence, she had already deduced some clues from the drawing.

If Li Mo was talking about solving the funding issue, then this map was likely related to it.

However, she couldn’t understand why it would end up on Humeiren’s back.

After Li Mo explained the context, Sister Zi suddenly understood.

“So it’s not that Bai Yi Fei and Ji Wu Ye searched for this treasure for so long; the clue was actually on you.”

She quietly lifted a corner of the blanket to peek at Humeiren’s smooth back.

At this point, Humeiren had calmed down.

The map on her back had mysteriously vanished.

Still, Sister Zi curiously reached out to touch her back.

It was very smooth, just as nice as her skin.

Beyond that, there were no other abnormalities to be felt.

She remarked, “Lord Fire Rain was once as rich as a country; if we could find his treasure left behind, our problems would indeed be quickly resolved.”

Feeling a ticklish sensation from being touched, Humeiren shifted her body under the blanket and suddenly looked back at Li Mo with a meaningful gaze.

Then, amidst Sister Zi’s puzzled expression, she chuckled.

“What are you laughing at?”

Sister Zi didn’t understand why she was laughing so heartily.

This smile didn’t seem like one born from a ticklish feeling.

Humeiren maintained her smile and teased, “Some people know very well that this map on my body is only half.”

“Half? Then where’s the other half?”

Sister Zi had just spoken when she thought of the answer herself.

“On your sister?”

(bgfb) Humeiren and Lady Hu are half-sisters, sharing the same father and mother.

Since Humeiren only had half a map on her, it was implied that the other half was somewhere else.

Not to mention Humeiren; even she couldn’t help but want to laugh at that moment.

Lady Hu had been living here for so long, spending so much time with them.

The eyes of the crowd were sharp.

A person’s gaze cannot deceive others.

Though they couldn’t see Li Mo’s eyes, they could tell the look in Lady Hu’s eyes.

Some things just can’t be hidden.

Li Mo had always said that Hong Liang was still young.

But Lady Hu was not so young anymore.

The group couldn’t fathom why he remained indifferent to Lady Hu.

If it was said that her looks and figure were lacking, that couldn’t possibly be true.

Humeiren had the charm of a fox spirit; how could her sister be any worse?

“Hmm, half a map won’t help me find my father’s treasure, National Advisor, do you want me to go speak to my sister first?”

Humeiren turned over, resting her chin on her jade palm, looking at Li Mo with a mischievous smile.

As her younger sister, she understood Lady Hu better than anyone else here.

Whether it was to assist Li Mo or because she had feelings for him, if Li Mo asked, Lady Hu would definitely not refuse.

However, Lady Hu was too shy, so it might be better if she gave her a little psychological preparation first.

Li Mo, however, appeared calm.

He folded the silk sheets neatly and tucked them into his sleeve, standing up and saying, “No need, you just rest well; I’ll handle the rest.”

Humeiren giggled, “Of course, it has to be you; I can’t come along anyway.”

Sister Zi also stood up but chose not to accompany Li Mo on his trip again.

She handed him the pen and silk cloth, saying, “Here you go. I won’t be going with you to Lady Hu.”

She knew how thin-skinned Lady Hu was.

If she went along, the matter would definitely lead to no good result.

Besides, she wanted to go back to take a bath.

After watching the two for so long, she already felt sticky all over.
