The Ancient Mystic Beast seemed to have used some method to return to the cave just as Ouyang Zixin woke up.
Yun Tianmo remained cold-faced, in stark contrast to Ning Zhiyuan, who was concerned and asking questions.
Ouyang Zixin, just regaining consciousness, looked around in confusion and murmured, "Did I faint again?"
Before Liu Ying and Liu Lu could respond, Ning Zhiyuan jumped in with a barrage of accusations, saying she completely disregarded her own safety and was lucky this time it was just fainting. He then asked if she felt any discomfort, his worried demeanor almost more caring than that of Ouyang Zixin's real brother.
Seeing Ouyang Zixin nod, he immediately became anxious again. "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Tell me, I..."
"My ear," Ouyang Zixin replied, then used her pinky to dig at her ear.
Ning Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh and scold her again before finally quieting down.
"Liu Ying and Liu Lu, feed me some more Azure Leaf Tea; what you gave me earlier wasn't enough." With her lips still slightly moist and the warm sensation making her want more, Ouyang Zixin instructed the two maids to continue serving her tea.
No one found anything wrong with this statement, but when it reached Yun Tianmo and the Ancient Mystic Beast's ears, one blushed slightly while the other began to hum contentedly, appearing quite pleased.
After finishing her drink, Ouyang Zixin said, "Elder, let's get back to the point. I came to find you today..."
"Why is everyone crowding here?" The Ancient Mystic Beast pushed Ning Zhiyuan aside and walked over to Ouyang Zixin, blowing hot air onto her face, causing her to turn away repeatedly.
"Hey, can you not blow your breath at me?" Although the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast was a herbivorous Mystical Beast, it was still an animal, and the smell of its breath was not pleasant. Ouyang Zixin raised her hand to cover her mouth and nose, muffledly complaining, "Are you trying to make me faint again?"
Ning Zhiyuan attempted to step forward but was blocked by Yun Tianmo, who slowly shook his head. The Ancient Mystic Beast had likely done that on purpose to interrupt Ouyang Zixin's train of thought. If Ning Zhiyuan pressed on now, it seemed unlikely they would get any answers from Ouyang Zixin.
"What about the others?" After being pushed aside, Ouyang Zixin finally took a good look around the cave and noticed that Nangong Tuo and Sito Rongyan were missing. She felt a bit worried that they might have been harmed by the Ancient Mystic Beast after she fainted.
"Miss, they were all thrown out by the elder," Liu Ying said, unsure how to address the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast and resorted to calling it as Ouyang Zixin did.
So that's how it is, it's done. This is good. It seems that her life is safe now; with Nangong Tuo and Sito Rongyan out of the picture, things have indeed become much quieter.
"That person killed Little Purple, and I will eventually take revenge for this grudge," the Ancient Mystic Beast seemed to see through her thoughts and snorted coldly.
As for revenge, Ouyang Zixin didn't want to get involved, nor would she. As long as it didn't happen right in front of her, she had no objections.
"You can do whatever you want; I can't manage that. But about that thing of mine..."
"Do you want to take back the Purple-Eyed Beast that Little Purple gave you?" The Ancient Mystic Beast lazily lay down next to Ouyang Zixin, squinting its eyes and asking.
One of its eyes seemed to glance at Yun Tianmo, thinking that the kid had just figured out its purpose and stopped another kid. Why was he still standing there? Shouldn't he hurry up and leave?
Sure enough.
Yun Tianmo slightly shifted his body. He whispered something to Ning Zhiyuan, who nodded in response. Only then did he turn back and look at Ouyang Zixin. "We'll be outside."
Ning Zhiyuan was also curious about the special power within Ouyang Zixin, especially since she had once controlled his Mystical Artifact. He wanted to stay, but being a perceptive person, he realized that the Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast clearly wouldn't speak in front of them. It was better to leave than risk disrupting Ouyang Zixin's plans.
The two exited the cave one after the other and began to converse quietly outside.
Before long, Liu Ying and Liu Lu also came out, standing at a distance and not daring to approach.
Inside the cave, only Ouyang Zixin and the Ancient Mystic Beast remained, along with Nameless, who resided in the center of her forehead.
"Old man, can we speak plainly now?" The Three-Eyed Purple-Eyed Mystic Beast seemed to place great importance on Eye Power, unwilling to easily reveal its secrets to humans.
Realizing this, Ouyang Zixin felt a bit nervous, her anticipation growing stronger.
"What are you so anxious about? Let me ask you, do you still want the Purple-Eyed Beast that belonged to Little Purple?" The Ancient Mystic Beast tilted its head, opening only one eye to look at Ouyang Zixin, baring its white beastly teeth in a grin.
"Heh, no thanks. What if you get unhappy later and come looking for revenge? I'd rather pass," seeing the awkward grin on the face of the Ancient Mystic Beast, which looked more like a cry than a smile, Ouyang Zixin patted her chest, indicating she was fine. However, the dampness in her palms made her feel more nervous than scared.
The Ancient Mystic Beast didn't take Ouyang Zixin's demeanor seriously at all; this little girl had quite a bit of courage. It didn't believe she would be afraid of it seeking revenge; she was probably just putting on an act.
The Purple-Eyed Beast being by its side was of no use; Little Purple's cultivation was too low, and the Eye Power it possessed was limited. Moreover, since it was now dead, the Eye Power stored within the Purple-Eyed Beast could not grow any further. If it could be given to Ouyang Zixin, it might still help her cultivation a bit.
"You have a connection with our Purple Eye Clan and have gained the recognition of Little Purple. Therefore, giving you the Purple-Eyed Beast is acceptable." Having lived to such an age, many things had already become trivial to it. Although Eye Power was mysterious, if it could be further developed, it would bring honor to its face. Even if this development of Eye Power was done by a human, what difference did it make?
The reproduction of the Purple Eye Clan was indeed too scarce, which is why Sito Rongyan killed Little Purple, provoking such anger from the Ancient Mystic Beast.
"But?" At this point, there should be a "but," right? Ouyang Zixin waited for the "but" from the Ancient Mystic Beast, but it seemed to have drifted off somewhere, leaving her in suspense.
"What 'but'? Our Purple Eye Clan is not like your humans, full of tricks like Zi Yi." The nostrils of the Ancient Mystic Beast flared slightly in disdain as it said, "I said I would give it to you, so I will."
After saying that, the Ancient Mystic Beast stood up and took a few steps aside. It opened its large mouth, and a stream of Azure Profound Energy flowed out from it, one end revealing a Purple-Eyed Beast.
Blue and purple intertwined beautifully.
The Purple-Eyed Beast, controlled by Blue Xuan, flew in the air for about ten breaths before being sent in front of Ouyang Zixin. She cautiously extended her hand, opened her palm, and cradled the Purple-Eyed Beast in her hands.
"It seems... a bit different?" (To be continued.)
