Men of the Harem (137 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 148
Why ask such a question? After giving me such a perfectly decent painting as a gift? La Til frowned but nodded her head anyway.
“If I can draw well, that’d be nice.”
At that, Tasir clapped his hands once and, smiling even more fox-like than usual, leaned close to La Til’s ear and whispered,
“The portrait is just a decoy—there’s another real gift hidden inside.”
“That’s a lewd picture, isn’t it?”
La Til immediately understood and asked, to which Tasir pointed at a gem set into the corner of the frame and explained,
“Press here, and it’ll come out. Look at it when you’re alone.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tasir quickly excused himself, saying he shouldn’t disturb the Emperor any longer, and left the room.
Left alone, La Til cleared her throat awkwardly and stared intently at the portrait Tasir had given her.
At first glance, it was just an ordinary portrait—but there was indeed a decorative gemstone affixed to one corner of the frame.
La Til glanced around unnecessarily once more, then quickly half-rose from her seat, pressed the gem firmly, and sat back down.
What kind of picture required her to look at it alone?
“…….”
Yet, no matter how eagerly she stared, the portrait remained just a portrait.
‘What’s this? Was it a joke?’
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
