Chen Lin wore a strange expression when he heard Liu Shengyuan's words.
Could the Nightmare Coins they left there have been taken by the Girl in the Painting to buy food?
Absurd as the idea was, he could think of no other possibility.
"Have you tried monitoring it with an Image-Recording Bead?"
Chen Lin looked at Liu Shengyuan and asked.
Liu Shengyuan immediately replied, "My lord, we tried, but whenever an Image-Recording Bead was present, the painting remained unchanged, and the Nightmare Coins we left there did not disappear."

He had suddenly taken an interest in the painting and wanted to get to the bottom of it. Whatever the Green-Clothed Girl might be, the painting itself was certainly something valuable. If he could bring it into the Reality Realm, it would be immensely useful.

Chen Lin was speechless. Still, none of their experiments had caused any danger, which put him
