“Am I a lost child gathering spot or something?” Yasenia pinched Evelyn’s cheek with a helpless look.
Andrea smiled. “Still, it was quite a fateful encounter, was it not?”
“Some encounters will be short, others will become long-lasting relations, and a few might end up in either regret or betrayal.”
Yasenia shook her head, her eyes calm and serene. After she left, the girls had been curious why she wouldn’t even say goodbye. Yasenia’s answer was simple. ‘It was a chance encounter, and we had already completed our exchange. So, there is no need to become further entangled.’
While Yasenia didn’t usually care much about Karma—her actions during her rampage between worlds clearly showing her lack of interest—it didn’t mean that she was ignorant about it.
During the times she scorched sects and slaughtered empires, the reasoning behind it was something Yasenia had found “worth it.”—taking revenge for her lovers’ slightings during her absence.
This time, there was nothing like that involved, so further entangling was not needed between them. Feixue, holding the Star Attributed Natural Treasure, glanced at Yasenia with some caution. “Master… is it okay to give me such a precious treasure?”
Natural Treasures were both an incredible boost for a cultivator and a means to increase their natural affinities and talent to a certain extent. It was a precious treasure everywhere one went, and something incredibly scarce.
Feixue knew that Yasenia had one Natural Treasure, one incredibly advanced and a source of power. However, she also knew that Yasenia didn’t have a Natural Treasure for Sun, Moon, or Star elements.
Yasenia, knowing Feixue’s thoughts, spoke softly. “I won’t have a treasure for their individual attributes. At least, I won’t bind them to myself. The Celestial Pearl, now having evolved to the [Celestial Genesis Tribulation Core], is more than enough for me.”
“Enough…?” Feixue repeated that word, confused.
Yasenia smiled. “Sometimes, too much of something is not good. You might not know, but the energy that little darling takes out of me is absurd. If I have three more Natural Treasures, my cultivation speed might slow down to a crawl.”
Feixue blinked. “Then, why not have one more?”
“Because that would disrupt the balance. Even when my [Celestial Yin and Yang Constitution] can balance things out, it can’t transform Star Energy into Moon Energy or Sun Energy, nor any other conversion.”
Yasenia extended her beautiful hand and summoned a few strands of Celestial Energy. Their profound and destructive nature made everyone focus on those strands moving along Yasenia’s long and slender fingers. “This energy is very… volatile. My body, while it is perfectly in balance and I have many things holding everything in place, is still not easily satisfied. Therefore, if I add too much of something…”
Star energy poured into one of the Celestial Energy strands in large amounts, and an instant later, the strands twisted and swelled.
Just as everyone thought it would explode, Yasenia expertly poured in equal amounts of Sun and Moon energy. Those energies didn’t slim down the strands, but they allowed the strands to stabilize in their larger form. Those strands were not stronger than before, swimming around Yasenia’s fingers like small dragons.
Feixue’s eyes widened as she understood the implications. Yasenia smiled at her and absorbed those strands back into her body. “That’s how it is. Therefore, between getting three new whole Natural Treasures, each of them needing large amounts of energy to develop, I prefer to focus on my pretty Celestial Core.”
Feixue nodded, her eyes thoughtful. “So… Do I not get a Natural Treasure for my other elements?”
Tatyana chuckled. “Do you think finding a Natural Treasure for the Fate Element is that easy? Fate Element Natural Treasures are the rarest by far.”
Even Tatyana had trouble finding one in the past. It was a surprising stroke of luck for her to get one, and she did so in her late years.
Feixue rubbed her nose. “I see…”
Yasenia patted her head and spoke. “Alright, let’s leave. Eve, guide us to that town you spoke about.”
“Yes, Young Miss.”
Their group of over 300 people transformed into rays of light and soared to the sky. Falicia, while resting in the medical area, couldn’t help but turn to look in their direction.
As she saw them leaving, a faint smile appeared on her lips. ‘Thank you. I wish you good luck.’
***
Yasenia’s group flew for a few minutes, and soon, they landed in the town Eve and the other maids had scouted. Their appearance in the middle of the town was quite eye-catching.
Many people couldn’t help but exclaim, since each and every single woman who appeared was incredibly beautiful. Yasenia, to not cause too much trouble, was suppressing her charm a little. Not much, as she owed no one her care if they wanted to court trouble.
So, she walked forward and, leaving most of the maids behind, entered with her lovers into a large structure. As she entered, Yasenia felt someone approach her maids outside and blinked. The rest of the girls also looked back, curious.
The group of men who approached was guiding a noble-looking man and woman. The woman pointed at Eira and spoke. “You, who is your master?”
Yasenia and the others felt their eyes twitch. ‘Of all 300 of my maids, you went ahead and chose Eira?’
Eira’s white eyes moved, her hand resting on the pommel of her snow-like sword. “Scram.”
The woman was about to get angry, but as she was about to open her mouth, she felt strange. ‘Why is… my sight… splitting?’
Her body then fell into small chunks and was further divided into dust particles. No one saw her draw her sword at all.
Evelyn couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. “Eira’s sword mastery is truly… monstrous.”
Tatyana agreed. “A [Sword Heart] is not something anyone can develop. Her strength is firmly among the top ten within all of Yasenia’s maids.”
The other people who had been accompanying the woman froze and then turned pale with fear. The man spoke, his tone trembling. “Y-You! Do you know who that woman was!?”
“I don’t.” Eira glanced over, and with that single glance, the man’s body split apart into fine powder. The guards behind, this time, had wanted to react, but they saw nothing. There was not even an energy fluctuation.
This was a result of Eira’s ability to manipulate sword energy at will. For her, a sword was an accessory, as everything around her could turn into swords. So, to turn them into fine powder, she transformed the air into incredibly fine swords. Their sharpness was such that they passed through them effortlessly, resulting in the powder transformation.
The guards were actually quite strong for the area, all ten of them ranging from the first to the third level of Transcendence.
Yasenia and the girls waited, and a few seconds later, a deep and magnificent voice fell from the sky. “Who dares kill my daughter!?”
Evelyn smiled. “There it is!”
Andrea sighed. “It’s normal. They usually have some sort of Life Jade with them.”
Yasenia smiled. “As they should. Sadly, that woman was unlucky.”
Cecile lost interest, knowing how the rest of the exchange would go. “Let’s go.”
Yasenia blinked and nodded. “Alright, let’s go.”
The girls turned around, ignoring whatever commotion occurred outside. Her maids could easily take care of it.
Guided by Eve, they arrived at the receptionist. Eve glanced to the side, and Doriel stepped forward, giving Eve a card. “Hello, we are Darmar Hunters. We want to buy all the information available about the Forbidden Zone.”
While Eve talked with the stunned receptionist, Yasenia blinked and asked Anna. “What is a Darmar Hunter?”
Anna explained with a faint smile. “It is the highest Hunter Rank, Young Miss. Even with strength, you can’t buy it. Usually, it takes a certain level of both recognition and achievement.”
Yasenia was curious. “How does Doriel have it?”
Anna smiled. “Thinking that Young Miss might be curious about the Forbidden Zone, we sent a group of three maids to complete some easy tasks. It didn’t take long before we were acknowledged by the local Hunter Association.”
“Oh!” Yasenia nodded understandingly.
Meanwhile, Feixue looked at Yasenia’s maids with a stunned expression. ‘...So thorough.’
Evelyn bumped into her. “Don’t be too surprised. Yasenia’s maids exist to make her life easy. Something like this is just the bare minimum.”
Feixue couldn’t help but glance at the maids differently. While she had been with them for a while, most of them just stayed by Yasenia’s side and guarded her. They didn’t really do much else, at least not superficially, even though most of them were out day and night securing the surroundings and gathering information about nearby areas. So, Feixue was surprised.
After Eve finished her conversation, she turned and gave Yasenia the information jade. “Here it is, Young Miss.”
The receptionist, seeing the exalted Darmar Hunter be so respectful, felt as if her brain had been struck by a heavy hammer. ‘W-Who is that… that… Heavens! How can someone be so alluring and seductive!?’ freewebnovel.cσ๓
Even after Yasenia’s group left, the receptionist was still in a daze, her eyes glazed over. It wasn’t until someone slapped her face that she came back to herself.
Meanwhile, outside the building, Yasenia noticed a few corpses lying around the maids. While they could have left the place without corpses, placing them as a warning was very useful.
Flora waved her hand, plants sprouting and eating the corpses right as Yasenia left the building. Then, they all bowed faintly. “Congratulations on getting the information, Young Miss.”
Yasenia laughed. “Are you mocking me? You silly girls, you did this all. Anyway, where is a good inn in this place?”
Eve once more bowed elegantly and signaled to the left. “This way, Young Miss.”
“Let’s go.”
Seeing the group of demons leave, the spectators were left trembling. They had seen a group of top-tier powerhouses arrive with incredible momentum, yet, as soon as they bared their teeth, their bodies hit the floor like mortals being slaughtered by immortals.
Basically, no one had even seen the maids make a move, as they were just too fast. These maids have been training against Yasenia’s copies, so anyone else felt utterly lacking and weak.
