The grandma asked, curious about why someone like Yasenia had taken her time toe to this rtively remote area. "So, tell me, Dear. Why are you searching for an information broker?"


    Yasenia saw the mortal maid pouring her some tea, so she thanked her and then took a sip from the cup. "Good tea." Yasenia smiled and thenmented, her cup gently rattling against the china. "We''ve arrived at this ce to search for something. We don''t really know what it is. However, we know that it is north of this city. Do you know of anyndmarks that are considered taboo or any ce that''s a tomb or perhaps a sealed mountain?"


    The grandma and grandpa were somewhat surprised at Yasenia''s straightforwardness. After all, what she just told them was quite a private thing. It was clear that Yasenia was looking for something extraordinary, and if they had been greedy people, revealing as much as she did could be dangerous.


    The grandma spoke sternly. "Dear, you can''t say things like that! What if someone wants to take advantage of you? You need to be careful when revealing such information!"


    The dragoness''s lips arched gently. "I trust that you, Madam and Sir Dan, are not such people. If you had been anything else but trustworthy, I wouldn''t be here enjoying tea with you."


    The grandma looked at Yasenia softly and extended her hand, grabbing Yasenia''s and patting it gently. "Dear, what''s your name?"


    "My name is Yasenia, Madam Dan."


    The grandma smiled. "That''s a beautiful name. Then, Yasenia, since you trust us so much, I will answer." She looked at her husband and asked. "Is that okay, love?"N?v(el)B\\jnn


    The grandpa smiled faintly, taking a sip of his drink. "Go ahead. Little Yasenia has proven to be trustworthy as well."The grandma''s smile deepened, her gentle wrinkles crinkling warmly. Her husband was the head of the house, and she, like everyone else, greatly respected him. Though he was always doting and had assured her many times that she could make decisions on her own, she had formed the habit of checking with him long ago—a habit she continued to this day.


    Grandma Dan spoke. "North of here, there are a fewndmarks, like you said. The [Fulminant Snow Swamp] is one of them. The strange weather there, caused by unnatural causes we are not very aware of, managed to make the temperature astoundingly low while not freezing the dangerous waters of the swamp. The beasts roaming that area are also very powerful."


    Yasenia looked at ia, who nodded and took a jade scroll to write it down. The grandma smiled, not bothered at all, and she continued. "Then, there is the [Profound Seven Ring Mystic Forest]. A natural formation of trees in a strange circr manner creates a natural formation of illusions. Without a powerful mind and counteracting talismans and formations, don''t you dare go there. Understood?"


    Yasenia nodded faintly. "I understand. Thanks for the warning, Grandma Dan."


    The grandma waved her hand. "No need for thanks!" She added, her tone serious. "There are two more interesting ces that are not known to the general public, which is why I asked my husband for permission to tell you, Yasenia."


    Yasenia''s eyes flickered. "I see. May I ask what their names are?"


    Grandma Dan nodded, but first, she warned. "Yasenia, you must promise me two things. First, only those in your group will be made aware of these two ces. They are hidden for the safety of the public more than anything else. Second, if you ever decide to go, tell us first so that we can tell your group about the dangers there in detail."


    Yasenia pondered for a few seconds, and after a few moments, she nodded. "I promise."


    Grandma Dan smiled. "A Dragon''s promise has a lot of weight. Don''t you dare break it!"


    Yasenia smiled. "I haven''t broken a single promise I''ve verbally made in my life. Be at ease."


    Grandpa Dan asked, his bushy white eyebrow-raising. "Oh? Those words felt like the truth. Have you really never broken any promise?"


    "Never." Yasenia asserted with conviction.


    Granda Dan nodded. "That''s great. You do justice to your race, Yasenia."


    The dragoness smiled. She then waited patiently until Grandma Dan was about to tell her. However, a maid arrived and spoke softly. "Lady Dan, Lord Dan, the Fifth Young Master is back. He is currently being guided here."


    Knowing that her grandson wasing, Grandma Dan actually snorted. "What a way to interrupt a Lady. Compared to Little Yasenia, he is a barbarian!"


    Grandpa Dan''s lips gently curved, clearly knowing that his wife already favored Yasenia more than her blood grandson. Not that it required much effort. ''This will be quite fun.''


    "Nainai! Yeye! I''vee with Sister Gong to pay you a visit."


    Yasenia and her maids saw how their annoyed but clearly doting faces had changed to a genuinely annoyed face. They had to do their best not tough aloud. ''She really doesn''t like the great-granddaughter of that Gong person, does she?''


    Looking over to the entrance, Yasenia saw a handsome young man with luxury brocades walking in confidently. His attitude was forcefully poised, making him seem a little bit silly. However, Yasenia couldn''t feel the usual maliciousness of other Young Masters in him, so she attributed it to the young man being a bit… silly but honest.


    Meanwhile, when she looked at his apanying person, her pupils couldn''t help but shrink slightly. The woman was gorgeous, her clothes flowing behind her like a cloud and her steps being airy and ethereal. However, her body reeked of the worst of arrogance and narcissism,pletely shattering the beautiful image that the woman had created with her otherwise charming appearance.


    Yasenia just met her, and the way she carried herself felt like a sinful smear in a beautiful painting. Of course, she was not fast to judge and didn''t say anything. However, her senses rarely failed her with these matters.


    Grandpa Dan had been observing Yasenia and felt her reaction, making him appreciate her even more. ''She is a really interesting young woman. What a shame that she is already married. If not, I would''ve supported Dan''er in her attempt to marry her to our silly grandson.''


    After entering the room, the pair saw that a group of people was apanying the elders and looked over. The grandson''s face changed to one of pure shock when he saw Yasenia. He thought that he had been looking at flowers all his life, but after seeing Yasenia, those beautiful women were just like grass! The flower was sitting there elegantly, sipping tea with those luscious lips.


    On the other hand, the Gong woman''s face went from pure arrogance to shock. However, the shock didn''tst, as envy and jealousy bubbled in her stomach and rose like bile, making her face poisonous for a single second. She recovered her senses quickly, but it was toote.


    Yasenia''s sharp senses naturally caught the maliciousness, and she red over, her golden gaze seemingly piercing through space and prating deep into the woman''s eyes.


    Grandma Dan, who also noticed, was about to frown when she saw the Gong girl''s face be somewhat pale as she took a step back. ''Ho~?'' Looking at Yasenia, she saw that she had already returned to take another sip of the tea. ''Hahaha~, ss incarnate! This is how a truly beautiful woman carries herself!''


    "Come and sit, Little Che, Lady Gong. We were about to talk about a few interesting matters." She then smiled at Yasenia. "Also, Little Che might look a lot, but please forgive him. He is a bit young and… Well, healthy. Fufu~."


    Dan Che reacted and stuttered. "Nainai! What are you saying!?"


    Meanwhile, Yasenia smiled faintly. "I don''t mind, Grandma Dan. I am ustomed to receiving gazes of all kinds."


    "Great~!" Grandma Dan smiled widely. "Little Che, Miss Yasenia here was asking for nearbyndmarks to the north. You''ve already studied about this with your Master, right? How about you tell her?"


    Lady Gong frowned faintly and said. "Lady Dan, while I don''t know what kind of person she is, telling people about the two forbiddennds is not something we should do."


    Dan Che frowned slightly. Why was she, a junior, lecturing a senior? Dan Che might not be very bright, but he had respect for his elders and family, which were deeply ingrained in him. It was clear that if his grandmother was agreeable to tell her, she had her own considerations. He looked at Lady Gong and said. "Fen''er, if Nainai is telling Lady Yasenia, then she must''ve thought about it. It is not our ce to tell otherwise."


    Gong Fen frowned sadly, her willowy eyebrows looking pitiful as they arched. "W-Why are you so harsh? I was just being thoughtful…"


    The pitiful act was so well executed and practiced that Yasenia almost rolled her eyes. ''No wonder Dan Che fell for this woman. An actress of the highest caliber.'' Noticing the displeased expressions on both elders'' faces when Dan Che started feeling guilty, she pondered. ''Hm… I should give them a hand.''


    Before Dan Che spoke, Yasenia uttered softly. "You are an educateddy, Miss Gong. You should ept wrongs when youmit them and be graceful about it instead of searching for the pity of others."


    When she saw Dan Che pausing to think, Grandma Dan almost cheered. Still, she kept herposure and spoke. "Indeed. I have my considerations. Now, Dun Che, tell her about those two ces. Nainai has already exined the previous two."


    Dan Che saw Yasenia looking over with a gentle gaze, and his bones softened. ''Oh Heavens. Having such beauty should be a sin! Focus, Dan Che! Don''t be an embarrassment!''


    "W-Well…"


    Dan Che almost pped his own face. ''I stuttered my first word! I am done for.''


    Yasenia spoke, encouraging the young man. "Continue, Young Master Dan."


    Dan Che swallowed his embarrassment and coughed. "Sorry for that, Lady Yasenia."


    Yasenia nodded. "Don''t mind it. We all have our days."


    "Ahem. North of our city, our ns hide two forbidden zones from the public''s eyes due to their dangerous nature." After managing to speak the first sentence correctly, the rest flowed easily. "While the two other ces you''ve heard about, the [Fulminant Snow Swamp] and [Profound Seven Ring Mystic Forest], are dangerous, if you are prepared, you can avoid death in the majority of the situations."


    Yasenia nodded. "So I heard. What''s so different about these two other ces?"


    Dan Che continued. "Well, the [Deadly Magma Cave] and [Moon Swallowing Mountain] are different because all who enter either don''t return or, even if they do, they be crippled and never recover from their expeditions. Yeye- I mean, Grandpa Dan, is one of the few who managed to enter both ces and return rtively unscathed. He lost a leg for it, though."


    Yasenia hummed. "I see." He looked at Grandpa Dan and smiled. "Senior, you are a Transcendent Realm cultivator, right?"


    Grandpa Dan smiled faintly. "Indeed. If you really want to go to those ces, you must be apanied by at least one."


    Yasenia sighed. ''Even a Sixth Realm cultivator lost a leg? Those ces are beyond what I expected.''
