Chapter 833: Hana Yun (Part 2)

Sehyun Wang snapped out of her daze, worried that her beloved might misunderstand.

She hurried to explain, "I simply appreciate beautiful things and people. The rumors you’ve heard are unreliable. I haven’t forced anyone to stay."

"I believe you. I don’t see any resentment in their eyes when they look at you. However, I am curious about something," Amalia said.

"Please ask. If I can answer, I will," Sehyun Wang replied, relieved by her words.

"You love beauty, so when you broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, why didn’t you sculpt yourself with a more beautiful face?"

Sehyun Wang breathed a sigh of relief, clearly well-prepared for this question.

"Because I didn’t want to change the face my parents gave me. It’s their gift to me, a blessing that reminds me I am unique."

"I see," Amalia noted, observing how some people nearby gazed at Sehyun Wang with admiration as she spoke.

She now understood why these women and men willingly stayed at the City Lord’s mansion, choosing to remain by Sehyun Wang’s side.

Sehyun Wang, however, was staring at Kenny Lin while she spoke, only to find that he had no reaction whatsoever.

She felt a bit disappointed.

In the past, people were always easily moved by her words, but none of them were the ones she truly wanted to marry.

She admired their beauty, but no real romantic feelings had ever blossomed.

Back then, she had found it a bit troublesome.

Now, she almost wished for those troubles again.

She thought about it again and realized that falling in love is never easy.

If it were, she might actually feel a bit disappointed.

With that thought, Sehyun Wang comforted herself once more.

"This is boring. Are you going to keep wandering around? I’m heading back. At least cultivation is more interesting," Kenny Lin suddenly said.

Amalia chuckled at the sight of his handsome but now slightly irritated face. "Don’t you think the City Lord’s mansion is quite beautiful? Everything’s so shiny."

"I don’t," Kenny Lin replied bluntly before walking off.

Amalia smiled apologetically, "Sorry, he’s always like that."

"No, no, it’s fine!" Sehyun Wang’s eyes sparkled, just like the gleaming City Lord’s mansion itself, dazzling and bright.

Though she couldn’t spend more time with the man she fancied, at least she indirectly learned something about his preferences.

It didn’t matter if he didn’t like shiny things—she’d just have her father redecorate the mansion later.

"As long as you’re not upset," Amalia said, pausing before adding, "By the way, since we’ve already moved in, wouldn’t it be time for Miss Wang to provide a partial deposit?"

"Of course," Sehyun Wang replied, not hesitating for a second as she handed over the Jade Fang Stones she’d been carrying with her.

Amalia confirmed that it was indeed the Jade Fang Stones and stored it away. "One more thing, if I may ask, was that Flaming Lion your mount yesterday, Miss Wang?"

"How did you know?" Sehyun Wang was briefly stunned.

Not many people recognized the Flaming Lion nowadays, as it was a rare demonic beast that was only found on the devil battlefield.

Acquiring one was incredibly difficult.

"I once saw it in a bestiary of demonic beast," Amalia explained. "I recall that Flaming Lions originate from the northern part of the devil battlefield. I’m curious, do you happen to know exactly where? I’ve always been fascinated by the demonic beasts of that region."

Sehyun Wang nodded repeatedly, "Oh, I see. Actually, I’m not entirely sure about the details either. I just overheard my father mention it once—something about a place called Silent Echo Valley. Apparently, it’s not easy to get there..."

"Miss," Yuri suddenly coughed lightly, interrupting her before she could continue.

Amalia glanced at her, then turned her head to Sehyun Wang and said, "I think it’s time for me to head back to my room."

"Oh, don’t go yet! We can talk a bit more. If there’s anything you want to know, I can tell you whatever I can." Sehyun Wang was eager to learn more about Kenny Lin from Amalia.

"We’ll talk after we meet with the City Lord tomorrow. Let’s leave it for today," Amalia said, ending the conversation.

Sehyun Wang hesitated, "But what if my father doesn’t return tomorrow?"

Amalia smiled. "That’s fine too. We can still chat casually."

"Alright, it’s settled then," Sehyun Wang thought to herself, This beautiful woman is really a good person.

After Amalia left, Yuri immediately spoke up. "Miss, you shouldn’t casually mention Silent Echo Valley."

"But my father didn’t tell me that it was a secret! I don’t think it’s a big deal," Sehyun Wang said, blinking.

Yuri sighed.

The City Lord hadn’t explicitly told her, but Yuri knew the reason behind the secrecy.

"There are rumors that a Pixiu was spotted near Silent Echo Valley. It’s best not to discuss anything related to that place too openly."

"Oh, I’ll be more careful next time," Sehyun Wang nodded her head.

She had heard her father mention Pixiu before—it seemed to be an extraordinary divine creature.

Yuri thought she could relax now, but little did she know she was worrying too soon.

After all, how could someone infatuated with beauty ever believe that one day she wouldn’t be swayed by it again?

Amalia returned to the guest room in the City Lord’s mansion, where Kenny Lin was already waiting at the door.

"I found out what we needed. As expected, Sehyun Wang knows about Silent Echo Valley."

If it hadn’t been for the sighting of the Flaming Lion, Amalia wouldn’t have discovered this.

She had only taken a chance, and unexpectedly, Sehyun Wang did know something.

Silent Echo Valley was the last known location where Pixiu had been sighted, a lead given to her by her Master.

However, Silent Echo Valley was vast, reportedly stretching across more than half of the devil battlefield, with the southeastern part alone spanning tens of thousands of miles.

"Do you think she’s truly clueless, or just pretending?" Kenny Lin asked, clearly bored.
