Chapter 314 Lynette: ………
A little earlier, in Sumeru, at Port Ormos.
"Coo-coo, coo-coo, coo-coo-coo! Coo-coo?" (Friend, tell me, where should life go?)
On a large palm leaf, two white seagulls stood side by side, one of them flapping its wings with a somber expression.
It faces the vast sea between Fontainebleau and Mount Sumeru, its sharp pupils gleaming with a unique and wise light.
"Gurgle." (I want to go to the dock and get some fries. If all else fails, that dark, charcoal-coated flatbread looks alright too.)
Its companion tilted its head, preened its feathers with its beak, and made two casual cooing sounds in response.
"Coo, coo, coo coo..." (You misunderstood me, I meant our ultimate goal...)
"Gurgle." (Going to the Omosport dock to get some fries.)
The two seagulls were silent for a moment, then looked at each other, seemingly reaching a consensus in some way.
Then, the two seagulls flapped their wings and flew away...
"Meow, please don't bully other small animals."
The expressionless cat-eared girl picked up the orange cat that was curiously scratching a seagull that looked terrified, and walked towards the small coffee shop next door.
The orange cat's curiosity hadn't completely faded. It struggled in Lynette's arms, swishing its tail back and forth, as if it wanted to jump back to the ground and give its great prize a swipe.
Seagull: Mom, it's me, Seagull, going on a long voyage today. I didn't get any fries, so I won't be home for dinner tonight.
The cat-eared girl puffed out her lips slightly, her cat ears twitched, and a hint of threat flickered in her large, amethyst-like eyes.
That means if you cause any more trouble, the dried fish will be halved.
The little orange cat, which had been baring its teeth and claws, instantly softened its stance, obediently drooping its ears and letting its tail hang down gently.
It meowed weakly twice, retracted its claws, and nudged the girl with its body, as if showing a fawning expression.
The usually domineering tyrant of Omosport was now obediently held in Lynette's arms, not daring to breathe on her at all, which amazed the surrounding merchants and pedestrians.
You should know that in Port Omos, this guy is the kind of guy who will get a claw attack on anyone who passes by.
Lynette frowned slightly. Clearly, being exposed to the attention of everyone made the human-machine cat, who usually followed behind Lynette and acted as a nobody, feel a little uncomfortable.
"Hehe, little Lynette, we'll set off now. I'll leave the task of picking up Pepe at Port Ormos to you."
Thinking back to the pink-haired girl who had cheerfully announced her early departure from work a day earlier while rubbing her ears, Feng Maomao's pursed lips trembled by a few pixels before she lowered her eyes and sighed.
She guessed that he probably couldn't wait to go find Lord Mufeng. Hmm... really, who is the parent here?
Lynette found a quiet corner, ordered a cup of new tea from Liyue's Jade Valley, and slowly sipped it while petting her cat, intending to while away the boring afternoon.
The piping hot tea slid down my throat, leaving a sweet aftertaste that was quite different from the strong tea in Fontainebleau.
The girl narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, her cat ears twitched rapidly a few times, and that was it, she entered standby mode.
The little orange cat lay to one side, letting the girl scratch its chin, occasionally letting out a lazy whimper.
However, the cat's afternoon tea didn't last long. With a sudden twitch of its ears, it instantly caught a familiar set of footsteps amidst the cacophony of sounds from the harbor.
At the three o'clock position, 29 meters away, is someone I know.
Lynette paused, her half-filled teacup still in her hand. Her slightly narrowed eyes snapped open, her gaze sharply fixed on the direction from which the footsteps were coming, and her ears perked up alertly.
The orange cat, sensing that the petting had stopped, raised its head in a human-like manner, picked up the dried fish, and meowed twice in confusion.
But soon, Feng Maomao, who had been on alert, suddenly relaxed, picked up her hot tea, took a sip, and seemed to intend to continue to leisurely enjoy her afternoon tea.
Alarm cleared, attempting to return to standby mode.
The newcomer was a wise man who had just escaped from a life of pleasure, but he didn't seem to notice Lynette and continued walking along the path towards the port.
Cat thought for five seconds and gave up the idea of going up to say hello. She just sipped her tea and thought that it seemed that Lady Clementine and Lady Elodie were going to be disappointed.
To be honest, she didn't know much about the boy in front of her; all the information about him in her family was top secret.
Yes, the kind that even Linni can't casually flip through.
Of course, there are many rumors about Lord Mufeng in the family. In addition to the parents, there are also rumors about him, including those about Meilushin from Fengdanting, and even the water goddess Funina.
Rumors are not tolerated in the House of Hearths, so whether it's Father, Lady Clementine, or Lady Elodie, their attitude is clear: they tacitly agree.
In fact, this mission seems to be inextricably linked to that Lord Mu Feng, well, that's just her guess.
This brings us back to the incident where Linni drank two bottles of unsigned milkshakes and lost consciousness. It seems that this operation was decided on the spur of the moment after reading some intelligence from Sumeru.
Lynette remained expressionless, her emotions unreadable, as she stared intently at Mu Feng's retreating figure.
What is the purpose of coming to Port Omos at this time?
The girl felt a little curious, after all, curiosity is a cat's nature, and the human-machine cat is no exception.
Lynette glanced at the steaming tea, then at the soft cushion beneath her. If standby mode and task mode were to cause a program conflict, well, let the random number decide.
So, when the little orange cat woke up, only the teapot on the table was emitting wisps of steam.
……
Meanwhile, taking advantage of the splashing sound of the cruise ship docking, a certain Wind Cat successfully approached the direction of the harbor and secretly observed.
The ship rocked slowly, the gangway was raised, and it docked steadily at the shore. Passengers from Fontainebleau disembarked one after another and stepped onto this territory belonging to the land of wisdom.
Yes, the water goddess Funyna has announced her decision to travel to the House of Hearths, which seems to be related to the prophecy.
There was also Head Nurse Sigwen, Shadow Court Chief Caroline, and the junior secretary of the Mo Mang Palace, Sedna.
Was it the decision of the Supreme Judge regarding family members...?
Speaking of which, according to intelligence, Sumeru experienced quite a bit of trouble a few years ago, and a great sage even went missing.
It seems this mission is not as simple as it appears.
Oh, they went to greet them... and they hugged.
Lynette: ...
WindCat.exe has stopped thinking.
