"What did you say?" A lover? This man must be crazy. He is my mother's lover; what does that make my father?
"What? What did you say?" Rong Yi had not yet processed what he had just answered and was only now truly hearing Ouyang Zixin's words.
"You said you are my mother's lover!" Ouyang Zixin's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Rong Yi as if he were a lunatic.
"When did I ever say that? Are you out of your mind? Hurry up, get some rest today. Tomorrow, I'll prepare a medicinal bath for you. Two maids, come with me; I need to instruct you..." Rong Yi ignored Ouyang Zixin, flicked his long sleeves, and casually walked out of the room.
However, his footsteps seemed less composed than when he arrived, almost resembling a hasty retreat.
Fine, Ouyang Zixin admitted that he had done it on purpose, throwing out the question while Rong Yi was distracted with other thoughts. He just didn't expect the answer to be...
Earlier, when Rong Yi was examining her, he had slipped the half jade ring into his sleeve. Afterward, Ouyang Zixin carefully compared the two halves of the jade ring; their seams matched perfectly. If one didn't look closely, they would think it was a complete jade ring.
Rong Yi's identity was no longer in question; however, the word "lover" stirred Ouyang Zixin's curiosity for gossip. She definitely needed to ask him about it when she had the chance.
Ever since Rong Yi "spoke out of turn," he had been trying to avoid encounters with Ouyang Zixin as much as possible. He only taught the two maids how to prepare the medicinal bath; as for the materials, they were all contained within a small ring. Fortunately, Liu Ying practiced controlling artifacts, and with a little guidance from Rong Yi, she quickly learned how to use that ring.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu were definitely lucky; there were not many people in Yuhai Continent who could receive guidance from Rong Yi. Because Liu Lvy was envious that Liu Ying had learned the simple method of spatial control artifacts, she pestered Rong Yi for quite some time. Eventually, Rong Yi lost patience and gave Liu Lvy some advice to help her make progress in her body refining practice.
Although the method of spatial control artifacts that Rong Yi taught Liu Ying was merely the simplest type, it was enough to drive countless people crazy in Yuhai Continent.
Ouyang Zixin did not know much about Rong Yi, Master Rong, but Liu Ying and Liu Lu were aware. Just thinking about how she once wanted to compete with Master Rong made her feel so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to hide in. After the two maids explained, Ouyang Zixin gained a rough understanding of Rong Yi. She never expected that someone she considered unreliable would actually be one of the top experts in the Yuhai Continent.
Although Liu Ying and Liu Lu briefly mentioned the names of other experts, they only provided names without any details about their abilities. As for Ouyang Zixin, those names were merely codes to her, completely unrelated to her life, so she didn’t pay them any mind.
In Ouyang Zixin's eyes, although Rong Yi had been categorized as unreliable, the medicinal bath he prepared was definitely trustworthy—
“Ah…” Rong Yi, don’t let me catch you off guard; otherwise…
“You… you are aiding and abetting evil… you…” No matter how much Ouyang Zixin scolded, Liu Ying and Liu Lu remained unmoved. They had somehow been won over by Rong Yi and prioritized his instructions above all else.
Ouyang Zixin struggled painfully in the bathtub, feeling as if her muscles were being torn apart again and again. She could even sense every piece of flesh on her body shifting due to the medicinal bath.
“Miss, please bear with it; Master Rong said this medicinal bath is beneficial for you.”
“Yes, Miss, Master Rong said that if you soak for a whole month…”
Ouyang Zixin couldn’t stand their constant addressing of "Master," so she had long instructed the two maids to change their way of speaking. However, at this moment, their comforting words only made her feel more pain. When did this damned Rong Yi manage to pull the only two people she could rely on into his camp?
She could no longer endure!
But now she had to endure!
“You… are very good…” Ouyang Zixin certainly wasn’t genuinely praising them; there was no time for elaboration as she fainted from the pain.
It cannot be blamed on Liu Ying and Liu Lu for "betraying" their master. In this world, there are indeed people who can receive guidance from Master Rong, but it certainly wouldn't be two maids. However, Master Rong was willing to offer them guidance, even if it was just to help them serve Ouyang Zixin, which was enough to make these two maids devoted.
Moreover, although the medicinal soup temporarily caused Ouyang Zixin a lot of pain, it was genuinely for her own good. Liu Ying and Liu Lu knew that they owed their current opportunity to Master Rong's guidance to Ouyang Zixin. So even if Ouyang Zixin cursed them and was angry with them, the two maids ignored it and strictly followed Master Rong's instructions.
Thus, this month passed amidst Ouyang Zixin's complaints and her persistence through the pain.
The tonic that Rong Yi prepared for Ouyang Zixin initially refined her body. Since Ouyang Zixin could not cultivate Mysterious Energy, her physical condition was relatively weak. As for her extraordinary strength, she found the answer here with Rong Yi.
It turned out that Ouyang Zixin's ability to leave a palm print on a stone table protected by Mysterious Energy was a manifestation of Mysterious Energy floating on the surface of her body. Generally, when people cultivate Mysterious Energy, it circulates within their bodies, forming something like a spring at the navel that sustains life. However, Ouyang Zixin was special; she could not form such a spring, and the floating Mysterious Energy surrounding her was quite limited.
This floating Mysterious Energy appeared as a form of extraordinary strength with some offensive capability, but for Ouyang Zixin herself, it provided no protective effect. To prevent Ouyang Zixin from becoming too fragile, Rong Yi refined her body.
"This is just the first step; don't get too happy too soon." After Rong Yi arrived, naturally there would be no more issues of hunger, but he also wouldn't let Ouyang Zixin have it too easy.
"Aren't you the top expert of Yuhai Continent? Aren't you a master-level figure? Is it appropriate for you to scare a child like this?" Ouyang Zixin finally found a nice afternoon with good weather and set up a lounge chair in the yard to bask in the sun. Humming a little tune and feeling quite comfortable, she suddenly heard Rong Yi appear out of nowhere and make an ambiguous remark.
"I'm just being kind," Rong Yi would never admit that he came to discourage her.
"Thank you!" Ouyang Zixin's eyes lit up as she remembered something.
