Ouyang Zixin was taken aback by the question, blinking in confusion as she asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Little Girl, you're playing dumb," the Mystical Beast didn't believe her and thought Ouyang Zixin was just pretending. "If you don't honestly confess, you might not be able to leave."
Was that a threat from the Red Fruit?
Ouyang Zixin felt an overwhelming sense of indignation; she truly had no idea what was going on and didn't know how to respond.
"Old man, I really don't know what you're talking about."
The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast paused for a moment at her words and said, "What did you call me? Old man?"
It had been many years since it had faced a human directly, and it never expected to be called 'old man.' The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast let out a strange laugh.
"From the sound of your voice, you must be quite old. Calling you 'old man' is not wrong," Ouyang Zixin thought for a moment and decided to change the subject, hoping to find another way to break through and get it to let her go.
Since they were communicating through Mental Power, Ning Zhiyuan and the others watched Ouyang Zixin floating there silently, without any movement. For a moment, it felt as if the entire space had come to a standstill.
"What is she doing?" Ning Zhiyuan frowned; half an hour had already passed, and Ouyang Zixin was still just standing there.
"Young Master, should we really not intervene?" Liu Lvy was starting to lose patience. If something happened to the young lady at this rate, what would they do?
Ning Zhiyuan was also uncertain about whether to take action. Continuing like this wasn't a solution.
"I'll give it a try." Ning Zhiyuan summoned a burst of Azure Profound Energy from his palm. With a wave of his other hand, his headband loosened and the Azure Profound Energy quickly attached itself to it. The headband seemed to come alive as it twisted and flew toward the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast.
The speed of the headband was swift, and the sound of it slicing through the air reached the ears of the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast, which only responded with a cold snort. Ouyang Zixin noticed Ning Zhiyuan's movement and felt alarmed. She had just begun to establish rapport with this Ancient Mystic Beast; attacking now would only complicate matters.
Ouyang Zixin was anxious but she wasn't skilled in controlling objects with Blue Xuan. How could she stop Ning Zhiyuan's attack?
"Heh heh, your friend is quite patient; he only chooses to act at this moment."
Patient my foot; he’s dragging his feet at a critical time.
Regarding the Ancient Mystic Beast, Ouyang Zixin completely disagreed. The key issue now was how to defuse this attack; a High-Level Mystic Beast that was almost sentient was not something that could be easily dealt with. If it became displeased and killed them all, it would truly be a pointless death.
The headband controlled by Ning Zhiyuan was about to shoot towards the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast. Just as it was about to make a move, it suddenly noticed that the Azure Profound Energy enveloping the headband was dissipating. The speed of the headband's flight noticeably slowed down, and it seemed to be losing control.
Huh?
I think I can control that headband.
Ouyang Zixin was pleasantly surprised to find that the attack of the headband had slowed down, and it seemed she could disperse the Azure Profound Energy. Although she did not know why, overall, not attacking was a good thing.
Seeing Ouyang Zixin make a move, the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast was pleased not to have to act itself and even laughed, saying, "They want to save you, yet you are helping me block the attack."
"What attack? Elder, please don't misunderstand; we don't want to attack you at all." Ouyang Zixin fixed her gaze on the headband while trying to dispel the Ancient Mystic Beast's notion of an attack. "We are not your opponents."
Flattery can penetrate through anything.
Ouyang Zixin said many good things and successfully controlled Ning Zhiyuan's headband. Seeing that the Ancient Mystic Beast's attitude had softened somewhat, she finally felt a bit of relief.
While Ouyang Zixin felt relaxed, Ning Zhiyuan was in a bad situation. Watching his headband slip out of control, he stared blankly and muttered, "My headband is actually out of control. This..."
Faced with this situation, Ning Zhiyuan could not imagine what had happened.
"Alright, are you still going to play dumb?"
"Elder, the Eye Power you mentioned—could it be the power I used to control that headband just now?" Ouyang Zixin had begun to guess that her ability to control others' Mysterious Energy might be what it referred to as Eye Power.
"Hmph, then why don't you come clean?" It was also puzzled; Eye Power was a unique ability of the Purple Eye Clan. If cultivated well, there would be no need for any Mysterious Energy at all. But when did humans start cultivating Eye Power?
Could it be that it had been so long since it emerged that humans could also cultivate Eye Power?
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zixin became interested. She herself did not understand her powers at all. Regarding her nearly transparent Mysterious Energy, she had always been puzzled; it did not belong to any known type in Yuhai Continent. She was completely in the dark about its usefulness.
Now that this Ancient Mystic Beast seemed to know something, how could she let this opportunity slip away?
"Elder, to be honest with you, I also don’t know what you mean by Eye Power. As for my power, I am just as confused; today is actually my first time using it." Ouyang Zixin spoke the truth; under her conscious awareness, it indeed was her first time using it.
The last time she controlled and absorbed Rong Yi's Mysterious Energy was when she was not fully conscious, and even she herself was unaware of it.
The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast stared at her with its three black hole-like eyes for a long time, seemingly pondering whether what she said was true or false. After a moment, it finally spoke: "Are you telling the truth? You really don't know?"
Ouyang Zixin tried her best to appear sincere, nodding vigorously while continuing to flatter, "Please enlighten me, elder."
The Ancient Mystic Beast seemed quite pleased with Ouyang Zixin's attitude. After a brief pause, it said, "Little Purple must have actively sent the Purple-Eyed Beast to you because of the Eye Power you possess. Well then, it won't hurt to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zixin was delighted. Ignoring that she was still floating, she directly sat cross-legged, looking ready to listen.
Her sitting down left the three onlookers puzzled. Why did she sit down?
Even the Ancient Mystic Beast was taken aback for a moment before chuckling and saying, "You little Girl are quite interesting. What’s this? Not asking for help or mercy now?"
Supporting her head with one arm, Ouyang Zixin laughed as well. "I didn't understand back then; please don't hold it against me. Now, tell me about this Eye Power."
Thus began an in-depth exchange between one person and one beast on the topic of Eye Power.
"Has the young lady forgotten that we are still waiting?" Liu Ying said with a headache. The young lady's unusual behavior truly left people both amused and exasperated. (To be continued.)
