Ancient Mystic Beast did not say much about what kind of medicine Nameless was selling in the gourd, but with a simple wave of its hand, it controlled the Mysterious Energy and restored the cave's arrangement in just a few minutes.
"Hey? This looks familiar," Ouyang Zixin said as she scrambled up from the ground and walked around the cave.
Since she had been able to operate Mysterious Energy in her Mind and refine it, she could remember everything she had seen perfectly. The arrangement of this cave was almost identical to that little house where Nameless lived in the secret realm.
"There's no bed," Nameless remarked, smiling at Ancient Mystic Beast. "I suppose a bed isn't needed here."
In fact, Nameless didn't need a bed either; it was just that since he had memory, there had always been a bed there, so he never bothered to change it. Until Ouyang Zixin appeared, that bed had still served its purpose.
The discovery that there was a place on the Yuhai Continent so similar to the secret realm sparked an idea in Ouyang Zixin's mind—there must be secrets!
At this moment, Ancient Mystic Beast could no longer stay still. Hearing what the two said, it stood up, shook its fur, and sent a cloud of dust flying, causing Ouyang Zixin to back away quickly.
"Old man, you really need to change this habit," she scolded. "You can't just spray dust all over people's faces! Even if you're a Mystical Beast, you should pay attention to hygiene!"
Ignoring Ouyang Zixin's accusation, Ancient Mystic Beast walked straight between her and Nameless. First, it took a step toward Ouyang Zixin, then turned and took another step toward Nameless.
"What are you doing?" Ouyang Zixin asked, puzzled. Was it sensing something again? She wasn't secretly communicating with Nameless at that moment.
—Master, it should be sensing where that feeling is coming from.
Oh?
It seems reasonable to think that the residence of Nameless and the Ancient Mystic Beast is so similar. The secret is more likely to lie with them.
Ouyang Zixin observed between the Ancient Mystic Beast and Nameless for a long time, her mind filled with various hypotheses, until the Ancient Mystic Beast suddenly activated its Eye Power, causing the Purple-Eyed Beast in Ouyang Zixin's hand to light up as well. This brought her back to her senses. She picked up the Purple-Eyed Beast, looked at it again, and asked in confusion, "What do you mean by this, old man?"
At the moment the Ancient Mystic Beast activated its Eye Power, Ouyang Zixin felt that the Purple-Eyed Beast in her hand was almost burning hot, as if it might explode. However, in the end, the Purple-Eyed Beast did not burst. Instead, it was enveloped by a nearly transparent Mysterious Energy from the palm of Ouyang Zixin.
"Since you gave it to me, are you going to destroy it?" Ouyang Zixin was somewhat angry. They say that old people can be eccentric; could this Mystical Beast also be so difficult to deal with in its old age?
Seeing that the Purple-Eyed Beast was fine, the Ancient Mystic Beast withdrew its Mysterious Energy, as if it had never intended to destroy the Purple-Eyed Beast. It began to pace toward Nameless.
"What are you going to do!" Ouyang Zixin worried that the Ancient Mystic Beast, having spared the Purple-Eyed Beast, would turn its attention to harming Nameless. She hurriedly followed, grabbing hold of the long tail of the Ancient Mystic Beast that was swaying in mid-air.
The tugging caused pain, forcing the Ancient Mystic Beast to stop. It turned its large head around, showing no anger; instead, it grinned and squinted its eyes, saying, "Why are you pulling me?"
—Master.
Nameless was also somewhat concerned about Ouyang Zixin's actions. Although this Ancient Mystic Beast seemed harmless toward her, one could never tell when a beast might lose its rationality. If it posed a threat to Ouyang Zixin...
But Ouyang Zixin didn’t care about that. In her eyes, Nameless belonged to her; whether as a pet or a companion, only she could bully it—no outsiders or beasts were allowed.
"I won't let you harm Nameless!” The grip on the tail of the Ancient Mystic Beast tightened even more, and one could even hear the sound of fur being pulled away from its skin.
In truth, Ouyang Zixin felt a bit uncertain; she didn't know if such an action would anger the Ancient Mystic Beast. But she could only grit her teeth and hold on tightly.
"Ha ha... interesting, interesting." The Ancient Mystic Beast suddenly burst into loud, strange laughter, showing no signs of anger. Instead, it slowly turned its direction and fixed its gaze on Ouyang Zixin's stubborn expression, saying, "No wonder, no wonder..."
Such a small girl is indeed worthy of that thing's attention.
However, for the Purple Eye Clan to have such a small girl in its lifetime is uncertain whether it is a blessing or a curse.
No one knew what the Ancient Mystic Beast was thinking, while Ouyang Zixin stood her ground against it for quite some time. Nameless had thought about stepping forward to protect Ouyang Zixin, but was stopped by a single glance from her.
What good would it do for Nameless to come over? Among them, the one with the highest cultivation was Yun Tianmo. Did he not just retreat repeatedly before the Ancient Mystic Beast? Since they were destined to be no match, why force a confrontation?
"Please let go; I will teach you to merge with the Purple-Eyed Beast." The voice of the Ancient Mystic Beast sounded different now; it seemed to have gained something yet lost something else. One thing was certain: it sounded as if it had aged significantly in such a short time.
There were no visible changes in the appearance of the Ancient Mystic Beast; only its tone and wording left Ouyang Zixin stunned.
What does this mean? The Ancient Mystic Beast had always looked down on human existence; why did it suddenly start using respectful language?
Ouyang Zixin pointed to her own nose and asked, "Old man, are you talking to me?"
Seeing Ouyang Zixin's confused expression, the weight in the Ancient Mystic Beast's heart suddenly lightened significantly, and it let out a laugh similar to that of a human. Then its form was enveloped in a blue light, gradually transforming. When the blue light dissipated, what stood before her was no longer the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast but an elderly man with an air of ancient wisdom.
"You, you..." She looked at her hands; where was the tail?
It turned into a human? It can turn into a human?
As Ouyang Zixin watched the tail disappear from his hand, he loosened his grip, shook it, and rubbed it—was it really gone?
"This is Eye Power." In front of him was still the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast, but Eye Power had taken effect, making it appear no longer as a beast but in a human form.
Could this be the legendary illusion?
——Master, Nameless is still a Mystical Beast, not a human.
"Can it only confuse humans?" If this was the case for the illusion, what use was it? At most, it could serve as a disguise technique.
"No, everyone except him can be deceived." The Ancient Mystic Beast extended its bony finger, pointing at Nameless, smiling enigmatically, showing none of its true toothy grin, exuding an air of a wise sage.
Everyone except Nameless? (To be continued.)
