My lovely bones

Now that she had a private plane, Chi Lian preferred not to travel on her motorcycle from city to city no matter how fast it was. It was best to travel in comfort, where she could sleep and sit comfortably. Have the ease of wearing her disguises in private, travel with any car she desired and check her loot without prying eyes which was exactly what she was doing on the plane at that very moment. 

The old wooden chests, she observed where ancient, they smelled slightly like old clothes or moths. They were all colored brown and the edges were painted gold. The tops of the chests were designed like peonies and actual gold was inlaid into the indentations which formed the flowers. 

"These were owned by a woman, right?" she asked T4. 

"Probably host, why don't you open the chests and we can take an inventory of the items inside." He encouraged her.

"What kind of wood is this? I need to know in case it's valuable because I don not want to destroy it."
