Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 739 - 474 Love is Here_1

Yang City, within a building not far from Feng Yi’s collection museum.

With the completion of various renovation works, this building no longer had a messy, rough appearance but instead possessed a unique style that blended elegance with wildness.

At this moment, within the vacant interior, the owner of this building was staring at a statue taller than a person, his expression dreamy.

The statue had the head of a human and the body of a snake, that is, below the human head was entirely serpentine.

It was exquisitely made, one could tell the amount of thought the creator had put into it.

Steve revealed a satisfied smile.

When Feng Yi’s museum had first opened and he had seen Feng Yi’s art sculptures, he had been inspired. After discussing and revising details with others and searching for materials, the statue was finally completed.

The materials used were quite different from those in Feng Yi’s collection museum’s sculptures, not because he was unwilling to spend the money to find special alloy materials, but purely because of Steve’s pursuit of "realness."

In his opinion, Feng Yi’s sculpture pursued artistic effect too much and wasn’t realistic enough!

Not just the shape but also the texture wasn’t real; that tail was so hard it could easily crack open walnuts!

His was different—it was perfectly proportioned, blending strength with softness, elegant yet powerful!

Steve looked at the statue in front of him, his smile growing increasingly dreamy.

Ah, this damned sense of immersion!

Such a visual pleasure!

The ultimate experience in art!

He simply had to place this statue at the entrance so more people could appreciate it!

When he opened for business later, he wanted every visitor to see such beautiful artistic sculpting!

Steve had already started fantasizing that scene in his mind. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Before long, this place would welcome lots of big and little darlings; his many years of dreaming were finally about to come true!

A fierce fire seemed to burn within Steve’s heart, every cell in his body trembling with barely contained excitement!

These days, he was busy every single day, focusing only on this matter and neglecting everything else.

Nothing could distract him!

Some task from the Joint Guarantee Bureau? Some Butterfly Project drill? Not interested!

Not interested in any of it!!

He had refused several mission invitations sent by the committee, and he hadn’t attended any private gatherings of experts.

Why attend those? A waste of time!

My love is here!

Steve held a soft cloth specially used for cleaning the statue, meticulously wiping from head to tail, then sat down and looked up at it quietly, appreciating it after he finished.

"What a marvelous combination!"

Just as he was looking, his phone rang.

Steve got up to answer it.

"Hello, Feng Yi, I heard you went to the tropical rainforest for an inspection again?"

While Steve devoted most of his energy here, he still knew some news.

If it were before, he would have the inclination to join Feng Yi in catching forest serpents in the tropical rainforest by the sea, but not anymore.

Feng Yi: "Steve, sorry for the disturbance, I’ve run into some trouble over here and would like to ask for your help. There’s too much to talk about and it can’t be properly explained in just a few words. I’ll send you a picture first to take a look."

A serious expression appeared on Steve’s face.

Feng Yi was using encrypted communication at this time, which meant it was no small matter.

There were no chairs or stools in the room, so Steve casually found something to cushion himself on the floor, taking the soft cloth to wipe away the slight dust under the statue.

Before long, Steve received several photos.

All the photos showed the same vertebra from different angles, with a measuring tape placed beside it, giving a clearer idea of the size of the vertebra.

Being a senior expert, Steve recognized the species from the vertebra at a glance, then looked at the measuring tape in the photos...

Initially, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, or perhaps Feng Yi had sent the wrong photos?

But he quickly realized that if Feng Yi was contacting him via encrypted communication at this time, it was certainly not an ordinary event.

"Swear you’re not lying to me!"

Steve’s breathing became rapid, his face flushed with excitement, and in a frenzy, he stood up to grab his tablet. That tablet contained the records of his past research on Titan serpents.

The records in the tablet showed that the titan serpent was researched as a fossil, while in Feng Yi’s photos, this vertebra seemed very "fresh."

If what was in the photos was real...

"Wait for me!!! I’m packing my things right now... Yes, keep it secret for now, we can’t tell others yet. I’ll confirm when I get there... You’ve found two vertebrae already?! The rest... dig them up! Where’s my bag? All my documents are in there..."

In the rainforest, Feng Yi listened to the person on the other end of the call, who was so agitated he was jabbering incoherently. He was about to ask for an estimated time to wrap up the call when suddenly, Steve let out a cry of alarm on the phone:

"No—"

Then came a thud.

It was as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.

Anxiously, Feng Yi said, "Hello? Steve? Are you okay there? If it’s too much trouble, no need to rush over..."

"No!"

Steve gazed blankly at the shattered statue on the floor, still maintaining the posture he had as if he wanted to reach out and save it, like a frozen stone sculpture.

His heart ached, a surge of regret and sorrow flooding him.

But after a brief moment of silence, Steve resolutely shifted his gaze, grabbed his bag, and headed for the door without looking back,

As if he were a philanderer, abandoning old love for a new passion:

"No, I’ve already packed my stuff, I’m heading over there right now!"

The call ended.

Feng Yi had no idea what had happened on Steve’s end, but from the sounds of it, something unexpected had certainly occurred.

Never mind, he would ask Steve when he arrived.

After the call, Feng Yi continued to search for the remains of the giant beast Serpan nearby.

When evening came, the Chieftain took his people back, but Feng Yi didn’t go with them. Instead, he had a meal in the village with his backpack, took some supplies, and continued to search in the rainforest.
