Yes, Lady Funina!

"Okay, please." Actually, Funina wanted to go with him by herself, but since Richard had said so, she couldn't say anything else. If she forced herself to go with him, it would seem a bit deliberate.

Besides, after she got off work, she had to watch a trial at the Oprykle Opera House, so she couldn't spare the time.

"I..." Clorinde was about to say that she was actually free after get off work, but Linnet spoke first.

"Did Lady Fernina go to the Opiclay Opera House alone?"

After hearing this, Funina thought about it and felt a little lonely, so she looked at Clorinde and said, "Are you free after get off work? Do you want to go to the trial together? How about I treat you to a big meal afterwards?"

"Yes, Lady Fernina." Seeing that Fernina said so, Clorinde had no choice but to agree.

She didn't know if it was Clorinde's illusion, but she felt that Linnet seemed to be wary of her.

Of course, Linnet had to be wary of Clorinde. If she didn't start to be on guard, she might as well adjust her hat herself. At least it would be more decent to wear it herself.

Moreover, compared to Funina, whose emotions were still in the ignorant stage, Clorinde's purposefulness and initiative were quite obvious. Taking into account her figure, personality, temperament and many other factors, in Linnet's mind, Clorinde had changed from the harmless agent lady to an opponent that had to be faced.

If Clorinde's danger level was D before, it is undoubtedly S+ now.

That kind of cool yet charming temperament coupled with her curvy body is extremely lethal to men.

Linnet's temperament is also rather cold, but she doesn't have as vulgar a figure as Clorinde. Her overall style is that of a pure and lovely girl with a bit of a three-no girl feeling.

Thinking of this, Linnet and Richard came to Qianzhi's house.

"I'm here." Qianzhi greeted, "Do you want to see the finished product first, or try the sample first?"

Linnet gave the choice to Richard, but Richard was more curious about what Linnet would look like in the finished product than his own clothes.

"In that case, Linnit, please follow me first." Chizhi nodded and took Linnit into the compartment.

Richard was a little confused. Why did it take two people to change clothes?

If it was just a change of clothes, two people would definitely not be needed, but the work delivered by Qianzhi this time did not only include those high-end clothing, but also came with gifts.

Qianzhi followed in, just in case Linnet didn't know how to wear it. Well, although the lingerie she designed was complicated, it was definitely beautiful, and it had multiple attributes, including increased attack speed and critical strike, which guaranteed that Richard would be speechless when he saw it.

Of course, in addition to Linnet, Qianzhi also designed a few sets for Clorinde. After all, compared to Linnet, Clorinde can play more tricks...

The reason why I didn't give Clorinde the finished product last time was because it was not finished at that time. Although the fabric was small, Qianzhi spent a lot of time on it.

Clorinde's share of the thousand weaves has been packed up, and Richard can just take it to Clorinde when he leaves.

As for whether Clorinde would show it to Richard, that was Clorinde's own business.

"Ms. Chiori, you are so understanding..." Linnet looked at the thin cloth in her hand and looked at Chiori with complicated eyes.

Qianzhi didn't feel shy at all. After all, she wasn't the one wearing it, so she could just dress as beautifully as possible. Sexiness was also a kind of beauty.

Using design to express emotions and mobilize moods is the most basic requirement for a designer. As a top designer, Qianzhi’s achievements in this area are obviously beyond words and have already reached the pinnacle.

Linnet put on her underwear under Chizhi's instruction. Chizhi also told her some small tricks while putting it on, such as where it can be detached, where it can be lifted up, and where it can be torn off...

In short, there are more patterns than Linnette imagined, and the effect of wearing it is more astringent than expected.

What Linnet could not have imagined was that there was an anklet. In Chizhi's words, the most beautiful parts of Linnet were concentrated in her lower body. Whether it was her long and straight legs or her exquisite bare feet, they were all the best of the best, so naturally she had to make good use of them.

"If you want to wear it for someone, it's best to drink some red wine first. You don't have to get drunk, just drink until your body feels warm. Alcohol can speed up blood circulation and make your body rosy and shiny. You are naturally beautiful, and with my design, even a cast-iron tree can bloom."

"Ms. Chizhi, you..."

After hearing what Chizhi said, Linnette looked at Chizhi with a look that could no longer be described by the word "complicated".

Obviously compared to Chizhi, Linnet's little tricks are just little tricks. When it comes to grasping the male psychology through clothing, Chizhi is the professional.

"As a fashion designer, it makes sense for me to have a little knowledge of gender studies, right?"

"……Reasonable."

After changing into new clothes, Linnett and Chizhi walked out of the small compartment. After seeing Richard, she thought of the underwear she was wearing. Chizhi's words seemed to reappear in her ears. Her face became hot and she secretly encouraged herself.

As for Richard, when he saw Linnett coming out wearing new clothes, he directly expressed his satisfaction with the clothes with his actions and gave her another check.

"Um...Richard, for dinner, how about we buy some outside and bring it to your house?" Linnette said.

Richard was trying on samples, and when he heard what Linnet said, he agreed without thinking.

"Well, the effect is the same as I expected. Do you feel any discomfort?" Qianzhi walked in and looked at it carefully for a while before asking.

"No, it's very well made and very personal," Richard replied.

Richard is not very picky about his clothes. In fact, most of his clothes are chosen for him by others. When he came back from Liyue last time, he also received a lot of clothes from Ningguang, which he has not worn yet.

The reason why I came to Qianzhiwu to order clothes again was entirely because of Linnet and the others, whose main focus was on companionship.

"In that case, the layout is set. You can go and have dinner with Linnet. As for red wine, I recommend the winery next to the Debo Hotel. They have imported red wine from Mond Dawn Winery. The red wine from the Dawn Winery has a rich fruity aroma and moderate acidity. It's perfect for a drink before bed." Qianzhi recommended.

"Red wine?" Richard was puzzled. He didn't understand why Qianzhi suddenly started promoting red wine.

Linnet, who knew the inside story, was unusually shy, but at the same time she also took note of the red wine recommended by Chizhi. She just didn't know whether the word "sleep" in "before going to bed" was a verb or a noun.

——————

On the other side, Fernina and Clorinde also finished watching the trial, but because Fernina still had something to ask Villette, they did not leave the Opicule Opera House immediately.

"Why did Lady Finina suddenly ask about the dragon clan?" asked Vilette puzzledly.

"I've heard someone mention this before..." Furninna said ambiguously, "Just tell me, under normal circumstances, at what age does a dragon become an adult?"

Navilette paused for a moment and said, "There are many dragons. The growth cycle of ordinary dragons is generally between ten and a hundred years, while the growth cycle of high-level dragons will be correspondingly extended. The specific amount depends on the situation."

"Just like human growth, with adequate nutrition, development is fast, while lack of nutrition leads to slow development..."

"So how long does it usually take for an 'Elemental Dragon King' like you to reach adulthood?" asked Funina.

"Elemental Dragon Kings are different from ordinary dragons. We are born from heaven and earth. We are 'adults' from the moment we are born. We do not have the growth cycle of ordinary dragons." Navilette said.

At this moment, Villette had more or less guessed what Furninha really wanted to ask.

"If Ms. Funina wants to ask about Mr. Richard's situation, I can only tell you that K is special."

"Do you know Richard?" Finina looked at Villette, but she was not too surprised. After all, as the Water Dragon King, Villette should be surprised that he did not notice Richard, who was also a dragon.

As the local leader of Fontaine, Richard might have already discussed this with Villette before coming.

"I know, but not much. You may not know that the current Elemental Dragon Kings are not in their complete form, and compared to the Elemental Dragon Kings, K's 'incompleteness' is even better."

"incomplete?"

"Yes, although Mr. Richard looks no different from a normal human on the surface, in fact, in my opinion, this is more like a disguise, just like some lizards in nature that change the color of their skin according to the environment." Navillatte explained.

"What do you mean?" Furniture frowned. "Are you trying to say that Richard has been pretending to be a human being?"

"Playing the role of a human being...Richard is more inclined to conceal his differences from a 'human' than playing the role of me."

Then Villette thought about it and used herself as an example, "Ms. Funina, do you think I am normal?"

"That's normal. It seems like you haven't changed in the past five hundred years." Finina said after looking Villette up and down.

"Compared to normal humans?"

"Uh... that's not normal."

Compared to normal humans, Navillatte's emotions seem much duller. It is said that the Supreme Judge Navillatte is the most fair and selfless person in Fontaine.

In fact, no one can be truly fair and selfless as long as they are human. However, Villette has been able to handle every trial impartially for five hundred years, which is obviously not something a human can do.

This is also the "defect" of Villette. Compared with the abundant and rich emotions of human beings, Villette seems dull and wooden, and can even be called indifferent.

Compared to Villette, Richard's emotions are much richer. He looks like a normal person, with all seven emotions and six desires. His perception of emotions can even be called sharp. Isn't this how he controls me?

"I think that although Richard looks no different from ordinary people, he should have some kind of flaws in his emotions, just like me. It's just that he expresses it too naturally, or the flaw is hidden too deeply and you don't notice it. You can think carefully, what is the difference between him and normal people in his daily life?" said Villette.

What's the difference...Funina frowned in thought, searching through her memories but couldn't find anything abnormal about Richard. The way he behaved was completely like a normal person.

Clorinde on the side seemed to have suddenly thought of something. She raised her hand and said, "Maybe it's too serious?"

"Him? Serious?" Finina thought of the scene where Richard teased her. She blushed when she thought about it now. How could he be called serious?

Clorinde has a different opinion on this.

"Lady Fernina, do you remember what I looked like when I was wearing a formal dress?"

"Wasn't that yesterday? I'm not that forgetful."

"Then do you remember the way those men looked at me at the banquet?"

"Remember, it felt like they wanted to execute you right there," Funina complained.

Although those gentlemen appeared to be well-dressed, in fact, the looks they gave Clorinde were lustful and full of desire.

Clorinde blushed slightly when she heard Fernina's lewd words, but she continued, "Do you remember the way Richard looked at me?"

Finina was stunned. After Clorinde's reminder, she realized belatedly that the look in Richard's eyes when he looked at Clorinde seemed to be more like an appreciation of "beauty" than a lustful look.

The look in his eyes is very pure, not making people feel disgusted or offended, and is not mixed with any lust.

Finina thought again of the time when they were dancing, and Richard looked at her with a very pure look.

It's not that Finina is bragging. In terms of figure, she may not be able to compare with Clorinde, but in terms of the exquisiteness of her appearance, there should be no woman in the whole of Teyvat who is more beautiful than her. At most, she is about the same as her.

In terms of appearance, Finina should be the ceiling-level existence in Teyvat, the type that is popular with both men and women.

The reason why no one pursued her was, on the one hand, because of her status, and on the other hand, because Funina herself did not have those ideas, and few people could catch her eye.

If Funina really calls for a partner, the people lining up would probably stretch from Fontaine to Inazuma.

Even with such a beautiful face, Richard was able to remain calm when dancing with her. It's so abnormal no matter how you think about it!

Following this line of thought, Furninna found that Richard had more and more "suspicious points" in his daily life. Facing three beautiful girls in the office every day, he didn't have any dirty thoughts at all. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call such a person a "saint", right?

"Yesterday I asked Richard to dance, but he didn't agree..." Clorinde muttered softly.

Although Clorinde wanted to use Richard to get rid of those suitors who were attracted by her beauty, but as a normal man, could he really refuse a dance invitation from a beauty like Clorinde?

Moreover, Clorinde had some information that she was embarrassed to tell Furninna, which was that she had coveted Richard's body before and hinted that they could make an equal exchange, that is, touching each other, although only on the lower abdomen, but she was also ruthlessly rejected by Richard.

Very unreasonable!

Well, Clorinde had some personal grudges here.

But the truth is, as a normal male, the state Richard displayed is completely inconsistent with that of a normal male, and is even contrary to it.

Normal men are more or less dominated by their lower body, but what about Richard?

It was as if he had no lower body! So calm!

Thinking of this, Funina wanted to run directly to Richard and ask him if he was a man and why he had no reaction at all?

But thinking that doing so would be extremely risky and she would most likely get beaten, or even...Funina finally gave up this bold idea. After all, it was just speculation at the moment, and there was no concrete evidence to show that Richard had problems in this regard.

And even if there really is a problem, what does it have to do with her?

She is just Richard's boss, not his girlfriend...

"Maybe he is a little slow in this regard?" After saying this, Funina felt a little unconvinced. After all, the other party's means of teasing were like an old sow wearing a bra - one set after another.

"Of course, these are just speculations at the moment. If you are really curious, I suggest you go directly to the person involved," said Villette.

"That makes sense, but who's going to ask?"

Fernina looked at Clorinde, and Clorinde looked at Fernina.

Obviously, both of them placed their hopes on each other, and faced with this situation, even Clorinde couldn't help but shake her head quickly, and said she would never agree to ask Richard about such things.

Seeing this, Funina had no choice but to say, "Then let's talk about it tomorrow?"

Clorinde agreed, "We'll talk about it tomorrow."

The next day, Clorinde and Funina came to the office early in the morning.

I found that Linnet was there too, but she looked a little unwell and dazed, as if she was... doubting her life?

"Linnit, what's wrong with you?" asked Furninna. In her impression, she rarely saw Linnit with this expression, like a kitten abandoned by its owner.

Linnet lowered her head, stretched out her hands and clasped them twice in front of her chest, and said in a complicated and somewhat sad tone: "Lady Furninna, do I have no femininity at all?"

Funina looked at Linnet's peaches, then looked down at her own dates. If Linnet had no femininity at all, then what was she?

"Why do you ask that suddenly?" Furninna was puzzled. Wasn't Linnet fine yesterday? Why did she suddenly become like this today?

"Ah..." Linnet didn't answer, but just sighed deeply.

Funina:......

She hates people who stop talking halfway the most!

"Is it because of Richard?" Clorinde thought for a moment and asked. After all, Richard should have been with Linnet last night, so she felt that Linnet's behavior was probably related to Richard.
