Chapter 133 Brute Yan Wangchuan? (1/2)

Not to mention grandma who was visiting for the first time; she felt extremely shocked, beyond shocked!

She had no regrets at all after visiting the Louvre.

There were not too many people that day. In that kind of atmosphere, people who wanted to appreciate it carefully would have a perfect experience.

It was divided into three thematic pavilions. In addition to paintings and sculptures, it included plenty of ancient clothing, ornaments, musical instruments, and toys of different cultures, as well as some broken walls, base doors of some ancient buildings. Even places with mummies.

At that time, Long Xi stopped in front of the “Victoire de Samothrace”.

The upper body of the statue leaned forward slightly, which was strong and vigorous, light and beautiful. The clothes seemed to be floating in the air. The pair of powerful and huge wings wildly stretched, allowing people to fully feel the condition of planning to fly.

The lines of the dress were carved in a stunning way. It was just a stone, but was magically created with a very light texture.

Long Xi felt both her body and mind were affected by that atmosphere, enjoying the endless vitality of the rhythm of life and the passion, cheering for triumph in the cold stone.

She leaned in Mo Kun’s arms and closed her eyes. It seemed that she had merged into the statue, dreaming of hovering in the sky like an eagle. Standing by the edge of the cliff at the seaside and accepting the salty sea breeze to blow over her face.

She greeted the sea breeze, looking at the far side of the sky, spreading her wings, and her clothes were clinging to her body under the breeze. The dress suggested the evaluation of life.

Life was imperfect, but really beautiful!

“This is ‘Victoire de Samothrace’. Do you like it? It’s also called the Statue of Samothrace Nike who is the goddess of victory in Greek mythology. It is said that she used to help Zeus defeat the Titan’s giants, bringing the victory to the masses. She always showed up in an image with two wings and an olive branch in the world of western art. In 1863, the statue was discovered by a French embassy in the Samothrace Island. At that time, that goddess statue had lost her head and right-wing. So, the ring-wing here was repaired with plaster, while the left-wing is original.” Mo Kun was starting to exert his strong brain.

From the last time they went there, he had remembered all the introduction of the collection in the Louvre.

Long Xi looked at him with admiration, saying happily, “My brother Kun, you’re so knowledgeable!”

Next, Long Xi went to visit those “acquaintances”, such as Venus de Milo, Venus de Milo with arms, and the Sleeping Hermaphrodite who had a female upper body and a male lower body. What was more amazing was the mattress carved out of marble, soft and flexible. It was difficult to tell it was fake.

None of the items on the exhibit could be touched. Long Xi could not help touching the ancient walls. Those experienced walls seemed to tell her some wonderful stories. Different feelings penetrated from her palm to her heart.

Mo Kun approached the Dying Slave who was holding the nape of his arched head with his left hand, while his right hand seemed to try to get rid of the bandage on his body. The slave was dying and exhausted because of painful torture, which recalled the memory when he was struggling to live.

Seeing the famous painting Mona Lisa of Leonardo da Vinci made Long Xi still feel emotional.

The woman in the painting was elegant and beautiful with a deep and soft smile on her face, showing her nobility and a slight ambiguity. Long Xi walked along to see the painting from every corner to study the mysterious smile carefully.

She found that Mona Lisa was always looking at her with a warm eyesight and a smile at any angle.

Long Xi was always interested in figure paintings and sculptures, so she had a deep impression of it. That made her always feel familiar every time when she recalled that scene.

Then, she approached Psyche Revived by the Kiss of Love.

That was a sculpture made by artist Canova in 1793. Long Xi was totally stunned by its beauty.

The cold marble became a beautiful story in the hands of the artist, while Mo Kun discoursed about all of the stories behind it.

In Greek mythology, there was a princess more beautiful than Venus, named Psyche.

Being jealous of her beauty, Venus sent her little son Cupid to punish her.

However, he fell in love with her at first sight.

Later on, Psyche was entangled by a ghost in her sleep and turned into a sleeping corpse.

Cupid flew over and kissed her to wake her up with love.

When Psyche revived, she held Cupid in her arms with their heads lowering down.

Cupid stretched his wings to circle her body, forming an X shape with their soft and smooth bodies. It not only showed out the artist’s ingenuity, but also the affectionate and graceful posture that could touch visitors so deeply.

Like many items in the Louvre, Cupid and Psyche did not wear any clothes, but the natural beauty of their bodies, the realistic expressions, and the details brought no distractions in Long Xi’s mind.

Mo Kun embraced Long Xi with affection and said with a smile, “If I fall asleep one day, you should wake me up with a kiss.”

Long Xi smiled and kissed his face. Her beautiful eyes curved into two crescent moons, while her dimples seemed to be full of intoxicating wine.

At that time, they were immersed in their true love. No one had expected that Mo Kun’s promising words would come true.
