Since that conversation, Rong Yi has disappeared without a trace and hasn't shown up again. Fortunately, the food he left behind is sufficient, and Ouyang Zixin is not worried about anything.
Especially the Azure Crystal Fruit; without Rong Yi around to interfere, Liu Ying and Liu Lu simply cannot control Ouyang Zixin. The rule of only eating two on that day seems completely meaningless.
"Miss, you've already eaten five today..." Liu Ying feels uneasy thinking about what Master Rong had said.
The Azure Crystal Fruit is indeed good, but it shouldn't be consumed in excess. Liu Ying and Liu Lu have never seen such fruit before, as it was specially prepared by Master Rong for Ouyang Zixin. They didn't dare to sneak a taste and still don't know what it actually tastes like.
"Why are you getting more and more nagging? It's just a fruit! Just eat it; what's the big deal? Don't treat that charlatan's words as if they were sacred edicts!" Ouyang Zixin mumbled while munching on an Azure Crystal Fruit.
In her past life, she had never lacked fruits. This Azure Crystal Fruit is crystal clear and green, with a pleasant aroma. Taking a bite fills her mouth with fragrance and juiciness. Ouyang Zixin has never had such delicious fruit before; she had always been craving it while Rong Yi was in charge. Now that he is gone, she naturally wants to eat her fill. After all, there are so many Azure Crystal Fruits left behind; why wait until they lose their moisture to eat them?
"But... but you've been eating them continuously for several days now, and your regular meals are all out of order..." Liu Lu feels uneasy knowing that Ouyang Zixin has hardly eaten proper meals these past few days, treating the Azure Crystal Fruits as if they were her main food. She can't quite put her finger on why she feels this way.
"Let me tell you, this Azure Crystal Fruit is much tastier than rice! I wanted you to try some too, but you refused to listen. To avoid waste, of course I have to eat a bit more," she said while reaching for another Azure Crystal Fruit to pop into her mouth.
"Girl, it seems you haven't taken my words to heart?" Rong Yi suddenly appeared behind Ouyang Zixin and snatched the Azure Crystal Fruit from her hand.
"Master Rong..." Liu Ying and Liu Lu obediently bowed, fearing that Master Rong would vent his anger on them and not daring to look up.
"I thought you two were here to protect your mistress and were sensible. I didn't expect you couldn't even handle this small matter," Rong Yi spoke slowly, each word striking the hearts of the two maids. Feeling guilty, they looked like they were about to cry.
"Alright, alright, Uncle, you're supposed to be a wise man living outside the world; why are you scolding my maids so harshly?" Ouyang Zixin felt a bit guilty at this moment and spoke up for the two maids. If it weren't for her own stubbornness, they wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
"You still have the nerve to argue? Now you realize I'm a wise man?" Ouyang Zixin keeps calling him 'Uncle' without realizing her mistake. He needs to teach her a lesson so she understands what happens when one doesn't heed the advice of elders.
Cough cough, don't ignore the wise man's words.
"Starting tomorrow, no more Azure Crystal Fruit." Rong Yi had originally prepared a lot of Azure Crystal Fruit for Ouyang Zixin. If she behaved and listened, he could try to make her suffer less in the coming days. But this girl was not one to obey; if that was the case, he couldn't be blamed.
"Ah..." Ouyang Zixin was stunned upon hearing this. Was it really necessary to be so serious? It was just a few extra fruits!
"Hmph, don't think you can play tricks. No means no." In the past few days, Ouyang Zixin had been eating recklessly, and Rong Yi would not soften his heart anymore. If she didn't change her carefree attitude, she would definitely face consequences in the future.
Rong Yi was doing this for Ouyang Zixin's own good, but she didn't understand and only added another label of being stingy to him in her mind.
Azure Crystal Fruit was a fruit that assisted in cultivation. It also existed in Yuhai Continent, but its quality was not as good as the ones Rong Yi had brought out.
Ordinary Azure Crystal Fruit could help purify the Mysterious Energy within cultivators during the early stages of their training. However, once the Mysterious Energy accumulated to a certain level, it would no longer have any effect. Even this ordinary Azure Crystal Fruit was not something just anyone could afford. Ouyang Zixin didn't understand because she couldn't cultivate, and Ouyang Hao and Bai Su naturally hadn't prepared any for her. Liu Ying and Liu Lu were just maids; they had never seen such good things and naturally didn't know about them either.
The best effect of ordinary Azure Crystal Fruit was achieved by consuming one or two each day; eating too much could be harmful. Since Azure Crystal Fruit had the effect of purifying Mysterious Energy, if not properly managed, there was a risk of explosion for cultivators. After all, in the early stages of cultivation, controlling Mysterious Energy wasn't very skilled.
Imagine, Ouyang Zixin had never practiced cultivation, and Rong Yi had determined that her meridians were still closed. For someone like her who didn't understand how to manage Mysterious Energy, what would happen if she consumed too much Azure Crystal Fruit?
This was high-quality Azure Crystal Fruit that Rong Yi had brought out.
"Miss, you should eat a little! You can't go on without food!" Liu Ying's eyes were red with worry; Ouyang Zixin hadn't eaten anything for a whole day and night.
"I'm not hungry; I don't want to eat." Ouyang Zixin lay weakly on the couch, looking at the food in front of her with no interest at all.
"Miss, these are your favorite dishes..." Liu Lvy brought in a bowl of Lotus Soup but spilled some while hurrying.
"I’m tired of Lotus Soup." The lotus flower looked somewhat like lotus seeds but lacked the bitter lotus heart. Usually, Ouyang Zixin liked it for its familiar taste.
"Miss..."
"Alright, alright, just take it away; I won't eat." Ouyang Zixin didn't even know what was wrong with her; she had no appetite at all. She got up from the couch and went straight back to her room, completely ignoring Liu Ying and Liu Lu.
After returning to her room, Ouyang Zixin casually grabbed a book and lay down on the bed.
Lying down to read had always been a bad habit of Ouyang Zixin. In her previous life, she was nearsighted, but here, it seemed she didn't have to worry about that issue. Perhaps the people here had higher overall qualities.
Drowsily, she didn't even know when she fell asleep, and the book in her hand slipped and fell to the floor with a thud...
"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you..."
Her head hurt... Who was making noise?
"Why is the Miss unconscious again? Did she not eat enough yesterday?"
What unconsciousness? Wasn't she just reading in bed last night? Then... then she accidentally fell asleep...
"How about this... you keep an eye on her here, and I'll go make some porridge for the Miss. I'll feed it to her later?"
"Okay, okay, you hurry up. I'll watch over her here..."
Liu Ying and Liu Lu? They were already so noisy early in the morning.
Ouyang Zixin felt her head pounding from the noise but still wanted to continue sleeping. Just as she was thinking of telling them to be quiet, she fell asleep again...
