Chapter 831: A ’Guest’ In City Lord’s Mansion (Part 4)
Every time the master brought new ’guests’, they were the most nervous.
They would secretly come and observe them.
If they found that the new guest wasn’t as beautiful or handsome as they were, they would sigh in relief.
But if the guest’s looks surpassed theirs, they became extremely anxious.
After all, the master really did have a soft spot for good-looking people.
Luckily, the master’s ’infamous reputation’ had spread far and wide.
Any good-looking people in the region who had heard of her reputation tended to avoid Skyward City.
Even if they did visit, they would steer clear, choosing times when the master was away from the mansion to venture out.
So after all this time, none of the guests that the master had brought back had ever surpassed them in terms of looks—until today.
One guest would have been rare enough, but two at once?
The sense of danger had hit not just Futa, but everyone.
"Two at once is really pushing it," a man in blue clothes said. "If we don’t do something, we’ll definitely regret it."
Futa’s expression was bad. "Didn’t you hear what Yuri just said? If we mess up the master’s plans, we could be kicked out of the City Lord’s mansion."
"The law can’t punish all of us! If we work together, surely the master wouldn’t kick us all out just for two people," the man in blue clothes countered. "If we sit back and do nothing, then we’ll really regret it."
"Are you so sure those two people will end up staying?" Futa asked suddenly.
"I believe in the master’s charm," the man in blue clothes declared without hesitation.
"I believe it too. Even if one of them leaves, I’m sure at least one will stay," a woman in pink clothes chimed in.
Futa scanned the room and saw that everyone believed the same thing.
Or maybe they had no choice but to believe.
"We can work together, but I’ll only provide some information. I’m not doing anything else." Despite Yuri’s warning, Futa still wanted to give it a try.
"That’s barely doing anything!" the others grumbled.
Futa was essentially distancing himself from the bulk of the plan.
"I’m the only one who has access to the master’s daily schedule without needing to gather last-minute intel," Futa replied calmly.
"Fine."
They knew full well that without Futa, this plan wouldn’t get off the ground.
Meanwhile, Sehyun Wang had arranged the two best guest rooms in the City Lord’s mansion for Amalia and Kenny Lin.
"We don’t need two rooms. One will do," Kenny Lin objected, the thought of being separated after just spending the night together was unacceptable.
Sehyun Wang was startled, and when she saw that Amalia didn’t disagree, she figured the two must be especially close. "Alright, one room it is."
"Is there anything else?" Amalia had already stepped into the guest room, but before she could say anything, Kenny Lin spoke up for her.
Sehyun Wang noticed his hands were already on the door handle, clearly about to shut the door.
Dazed, she asked, "Are you two going to rest already?"
"My cultivation has just advanced. I need to stabilize it," Kenny Lin replied lazily.
"Oh... well, rest well then." Sehyun Wang felt a bit deflated.
Kenny Lin decisively shut the door.
But just as the door closed, it opened again.
Sehyun Wang was elated.
"Miss Wang, tomorrow we should pay a visit to the City Lord of Skyward City," said Amalia, who had opened the door.
Since they were on someone else’s territory, it wouldn’t be proper not to pay a visit to the master of the house.
Upon hearing this, Sehyun Wang couldn’t stay cheerful.
Instead, her mood sank. "My father, he..."
"Then we’ll visit tomorrow," Yuri interrupted her gently, smiling warmly.
Amalia glanced at her, then acknowledged with a nod before closing the door.
As they left the courtyard of the guest rooms, Sehyun Wang immediately asked Yuri with a wounded look, "Why did you lie? My father isn’t even in the mansion. How am I supposed to take them to see him tomorrow? What if they find out I lied? Will they be mad at me?"
"Master, you’re worrying too much. As long as the servants keep their mouths shut, we’ll just say the City Lord happened to go out. They won’t realize anything," Yuri replied with a smile.
"Oh, that’s right! And that way, I can lure them out of their rooms. Yuri, you’re so clever," Sehyun Wang’s eyes sparkled with ideas. "During these five days, as long as they never meet my father, they can’t just stay holed up. I’ll always have an excuse to take them out!"
"Exactly," Yaori smiled. "But be careful not to use the same excuse too many times."
"Don’t worry," Sehyun Wang said, patting her impressive chest with confidence. "I know how to handle it."
Several nearby servants instinctively covered their noses, and a faint hint of red could be seen on their fingertips.
Sehyun Wang’s appearance was plain and ordinary, but the reason so many people willingly stayed in the City Lord’s mansion, aside from her charismatic personality, was her devilishly voluptuous figure.
Whenever she made the motion of patting her chest, the two grand peaks in front of her would jiggle slightly, drawing even women’s eyes to them unconsciously.
"The City Lord of Skyward City is probably not in the mansion," Amalia said to Kenny Lin after the sound of their footsteps faded.
"Then we won’t go out tomorrow," Kenny Lin replied.
"We still have to go," Amalia shook her head.
They were currently uninformed, so it wouldn’t be appropriate to decline. "We’ll also take the chance to ask her for a deposit tomorrow."
Kenny Lin, who had been about to object, fell silent at this.
Their goal was to acquire three specific materials, all of which were essential to repairing the Soltice Ring.
Once the ring was restored, Amalia would have an additional layer of security.
Since it involved Amalia’s safety, Kenny Lin had no further objections.
This way, he could be at ease.
