Chapter 834: Hana Yun (Part 3)
"Do you think she’s just hiding her intelligence?" Amalia countered.
Kenny Lin scoffed at the idea. "What makes you think that?"
"Some people aren’t stupid. On the contrary, they’re very smart, but they have their weaknesses."
Hmm, just a smart person with weaknesses, that’s all.
"And where exactly is she smart?" Kenny Lin raised an eyebrow.
Amalia smiled, as if she were explaining something obvious to someone who couldn’t see it. "She went to great lengths to show off the side of herself that’s most appealing to men, just for you. And you didn’t notice at all?"
"Would you rather I did notice?" Kenny Lin shot back unexpectedly.
"Of course not," Amalia said honestly.
Kenny Lin was secretly pleased but kept his expression cold. "Why wouldn’t you want me to notice?"
"Because you’re my man. Who else should you have feelings for?" Amalia narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Hearing her openly acknowledge him as her man, Kenny Lin couldn’t hide his joy any longer.
A playful smile spread across his face, one that begged to be smacked. "I knew you cared about me."
Amalia sighed.
She had expected this.
Before, she used to be more reserved, but ever since they arrived in Mystic Void Continent, she had become completely carefree, or perhaps it was just his true nature finally coming out.
"Obviously. If I didn’t care about you, would I even bother dual-cultivating with you? Do you think I’ve got time to waste, or that my cultivation progress is too slow?"
"Not at all. Your cultivation is advancing plenty fast," Kenny Lin said cheerfully.
If Renshu Chang had heard this, he’d be utterly exhausted.
Two people who were both progressing quickly in their cultivation and yet they still found time to show off?
At least they were doing it in private.
Kenny Lin opened the guest room door, pulling Amalia in with him. "Are we going out again tomorrow?"
"Yes. Right now, the Millennium-aged Snow Pine Wood is secondary. If we can learn more about Silent Echo Valley, that would be even better. I also plan to ask around about Phoenix Feathers. Someone from the City Lord’s mansion might know something."
Amalia rubbed her temples slightly.
The Soltice Ring was already beyond the scope of ordinary magical treasures, and the materials required to repair it were certainly not common.
Just one Phoenix Feather was nearly impossible to obtain.
As for what exactly a Phoenix Feather was, she had looked up some information but found no records of it anywhere.
"But..."
"But what?" Kenny Lin asked.
"The information about Silent Echo Valley might be hard to gather. Just now, when I asked about the origin of the Flaming Lion, Sehyun Wang mentioned Silent Echo Valley briefly before her maid Yuri interrupted her. After I left, she probably warned Sehyun Wang not to tell us too much about Silent Echo Valley. So tomorrow, I might need you to step in," Amalia said with a smile, looking at him.
Kenny Lin was silent for a moment. "Are you asking me to use my looks to get information?"
"Well, it’s fortunate you have looks to sell. Otherwise, what use would you be?" Amalia raised an eyebrow calmly.
Kenny Lin scoffed. "If I end up getting along too well with her, you better not get jealous."
Amalia smirked. "Fine, I won’t get jealous. Just don’t try to escape when you get impatient. You said it yourself."
Kenny Lin’s face immediately soured.
He was just saying that for show—who would actually want to get along with that lovesick woman?
Amalia snickered internally.
Can’t handle me, can you?
The next morning, the City Lord’s mansion basked in golden sunlight.
As promised, Sehyun Wang arrived.
Having lied once before, she seemed slightly more at ease this time.
With Kenny Lin’s ’cooperation,’ Amalia smoothly extracted most of the information she wanted.
Even Yuri’s repeated attempts to intervene were useless.
Every time she reminded Sehyun Wang, her mistress would nod in agreement, only to spill more details the next second.
By the end, Yuri seemed resigned to her mistress’s nature and stopped trying to interfere.
To ensure Sehyun Wang willingly shared the information they sought, Amalia had to reveal some personal details about Kenny Lin.
For instance, that he already had a lover.
Of course, she waited until the very end to drop this bombshell.
The moment Sehyun Wang learned her crush already had someone, it was like a bolt from the blue.
She was completely dazed, not paying attention to anything else they said.
Seeing this, Amalia took the opportunity to suggest they take their leave.
"My first love has died, Yuri," Sehyun Wang wailed as soon as they left, collapsing onto the stone table in tears.
Yuri, at a loss for how to comfort her mistress, had never encountered a situation like this before. "Mistress, you’re such a good person. You’ll definitely meet someone better than that guy in the future."
"There won’t ever be another one like him. His handsomeness surpasses even the high-level cultivators! I’ll never meet anyone like him again. And the first time I fall in love, this is what happens," Sehyun Wang sobbed, her clothes soaked from her tears.
"Wait," Yuri’s eyes suddenly lit up. "As long as he and his lover haven’t gotten married yet, Mistress, you still have a chance."
Sehyun Wang paused mid-cry and lifted her tear-streaked face, hesitating for a moment. "Is it really right to come between them like that?"
"How could this be coming between them? It’s just a matter of using your own abilities. Besides, on the Mystic Void Continent, there are plenty of people who start out together, but by the time they marry, it’s someone else."
"You’re right. But I don’t even know where he’s from, let alone who his lover is. Without understanding my rival, how am I supposed to know what to do?" Sehyun Wang’s sadness deepened.
In the past, it wouldn’t have taken her more than a day to find out where someone was from.
