Chapter 847: Suspicious Woman
"My legs feel a little cold, but that\'s about it."
"Young Master, can you hold my hands for a moment?" She suddenly extended her hand for him.
Yuan didn\'t think too much about it and held her hand.
The very next moment, Yuan could feel a burning yet comfortable sensation flowing throughout his body, and the cold feeling in his legs quickly disappeared.
"What was that?" Yuan asked her.
"I just used my phoenix flames to warm up your body. Your veins are burning with my phoenix flames right now, which is warding off the miasma."
"B-Burning?" Yuan\'s eyes widened.
He wasn\'t worried that it could hurt him. It was just terrifying to think that his body was literally burning on the inside.
"Don\'t worry, Young Master. It won\'t hurt you." Feng Yuxiang chuckled at his reaction.
"I know. But it still feels weird." Yuan said.
"Yingying, are you okay with the miasma?" He asked her.
"Yes, I am fine. Just like Miss Feng, I am not affected by it. In fact, the miasma is actually trying to avoid me. It\'s probably because of my Sacred Flame."
"Sacred Flames..."
According to the Divine Paragon\'s memories, besides demon sealing aura, there exists another element in this world that can effectively destroy demons, and that element exists within Lan Yingying\'s Sacred Flames— divine attribute.
Not much is known about divine attributes since it is a power that cannot be wielded by human cultivators. In fact, only Divine Beasts have ever wielded such powers before.
"Young Master." Feng Yuxiang suddenly called for him.
"There is a person ahead." She pointed at a middle-aged woman who was pacing back and forth the entrance of the Demons\' Valley, and she appeared to be very distraught.
When Yuan saw her expression, he couldn\'t help but feel pity for her.
"Let\'s see what happened."
"Be careful... She might be from the nameless town..." Feng Yuxiang quickly warned him.
"I don\'t sense anything wrong with her. It should be fine." Yuan nodded.
He descended before the woman a moment later and asked her, "Excuse me, are you okay?"
The middle-aged woman was startled by Yuan\'s sudden appearance, but when she realized that he was a cultivator, she immediately approached him and asked, "I-Immortal Cultivator! Are you heading inside the Demons\' Valley?!"
"Yes, I am."
"Please! Can you please help me?! My son went inside the Demons\' Valley a week ago to hunt magical beasts with his friends, and he promised that he would be home two days ago, but he still hasn\'t returned! I tried looking for his friends, but they are also missing! I am worried to death that something might\'ve happened to him!" The woman pleaded with him.
"Uhh..."

As cruel as it may sound, Yuan had a feeling that her son was no longer in this world. However, he didn\'t want to say it to the already-grieving mother, so he asked, "Do you know where he usually hunts? I can take a look around that area, and if I find him, I will bring him back to you."
"Oh! Thank you! Thank you very much! My son usually hunts near the \'Red Pond\'. I will definitely repay this debt!"
Yuan nodded, "This might take a while, so you can return home for now."
"It\'s okay, I will wait here just in case my son comes out by himself!" She said.
"Are you sure? This place is very dangerous even for cultivators, much less a mortal like you..." Yuan expressed his worries.
The woman nodded and said, "I have been here for two days now. I think I will be fine for another day or two."
"If you say so... I will try to be back before sunrise. Be careful." Yuan said to her.
"I will! Once again, thank you!" The woman bowed to him.
Ding!
[Quest: Grieving Mother\'s Plea]
[Location: Demons\' Valley]
[Difficulty: Hard]
[Description: Search around the \'Red Pond\' for the Grieving Mother\'s missing son]
\'A quest, huh? Been a while.\' Yuan thought to himself as he glanced over the quest details.
"Are you ready?" Yuan turned to ask Feng Yuxiang, who was staring at the woman with a pondering face.
"Yes, I am ready." Feng Yuxiang nodded.
"Then let\'s help this woman before we look for our person."
"Okay."
Yuan entered the Demons\' Valley with Feng Yuxiang shortly after.
Once they were inside the Demons\' Valley and could no longer see the woman, Feng Yuxiang spoke, "Young Master, there\'s definitely something very weird about that woman."
"What?" Yuan asked.
"Despite being a mortal, she could somehow stand so close to the Demons\' Valley without being affected by the miasma. That\'s not possible." Feng Yuxiang explained.
"Ah, that? I also noticed it, but I didn\'t sense any bad vibes from her, so I decided to help her anyway." Yuan said.
"Huh? You are still willing to help her even though there\'s a very good chance that she might be setting a trap for you? That\'s very reckless of you, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang was dumbfounded.
"Reckless? Maybe. But I really hope it\'s actually a trap so that I can put an end to it. If I ignore it, this trap will continue to exist and harm others." Yuan said, explaining why he agreed to help the woman.
"Young Master..." Feng Yuxiang did not expect this to be the real reason why Yuan decided to help this suspicious woman.
"Anyways, the Red Pond isn\'t that far away, so we should arrive soon."
"Huh? How do you know where this place is? Did you acquire a map of this place?" Feng Yuxiang asked.
"Not a map, but it\'s even better than it." Yuan pointed at his head and smiled, "The Divine Paragon\'s memories— he\'s been to this place before, so I also know this place like it\'s at the back of my hand now."
Feng Yuxiang\'s mouth dropped wide open.
"A-Are you sure we can trust those memories?"
"I guess we\'ll find out after we arrive at the location." Yuan chuckled..
