The man paused, wanting to turn back to rescue Baike, but the Howling Twin-headed Serpent let out a roar that held him in place.
When fighting a High-Level Mystic Beast, he could not afford to be distracted.
This action caught Ouyang Zixin's attention, raising a bad premonition in her heart, and she quickly called for Ning Zhiyuan to come back.
It seemed that the man had not known Baike's identity earlier; he simply wanted to be a hero saving a damsel in distress. However, he did not expect Baike's guard to be so useless, ultimately choosing self-preservation.
But now that Ning Zhiyuan had revealed Baike's identity as the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan, it was likely that he would change his mind.
"You talk too much," Ouyang Zixin shot Ning Zhiyuan an eye roll. It was one thing to be chatty usually, but during critical moments, one should speak less.
Ning Zhiyuan guessed the reason for the man's change of heart and smiled bitterly. Not everyone was like him, dismissing the identities of noble ladies. This man appeared arrogant and self-important, but upon hearing Baike's identity, he probably had other plans in mind.
It was important to note that although the Bai Clan had withdrawn from the world, they still held significant status in Dream Nation. If this man sought to curry favor with the Bai Clan, targeting the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan would be the best approach. If he could also earn a "life-saving grace," it would likely lead to his future success.
Ning Zhiyuan showed no mercy as he dragged Baike, causing her to groan softly in her unconscious state. Just as Ning Zhiyuan was about to return to Ouyang Zixin's side, a Bai Clan Guardian hidden in the forest could no longer hold back and charged out, claws extended toward his back.
Hearing the sound of wind slicing through the air behind him, Ning Zhiyuan smirked coldly and lifted Baike's arm, flinging her away completely.
The guard attempted to rush in and catch her but was momentarily blocked by Ning Zhiyuan, slowing his pace. Baike was thrown in Ouyang Zixin's direction, and who was Ouyang Zixin?
She certainly wouldn’t reach out to catch her; that would be ridiculous. What if she got injured trying to catch Baike? How could she continue hunting Mystical Beasts then?
Liu Ying and Liu Lu intended to catch her too, but when they saw Ouyang Zixin retreating repeatedly, they withdrew their outstretched hands.
Thus, Baike faced tragedy; having just been thrown down by the Howling Twin-headed Serpent and dragged a few steps by Ning Zhiyuan, she was now flung out again and landed on the ground.
"Ouch! Thankfully it's not face-first," Ouyang Zixin squinted and said. "What would happen if such a beauty were disfigured?"
—Master, landing on the back of her head doesn’t seem much better.
Nameless murmured, "Could she get knocked silly?"
"Hahaha... Nameless, you are so compassionate." Ouyang Zixin couldn't help but laugh out loud. If the Legitimate Daughter of the Bai Clan were to be thrown down and become a fool, it would surely become a joke for the Three Great Empires and even the entire Yuhai Continent.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu beside her also burst into laughter, surprised that the young lady said Nameless had compassion. Was this compassion? It was clearly schadenfreude.
The group of master and servants laughed joyfully, completely devoid of any tension regarding the High-Level Mystic Beast. It was unclear whether it was because the Howling Twin-headed Serpent had not attacked them or if they had become calm after interacting with the Ancient Mystic Beast, now able to face the High-Level Mystic Beast with ease.
On one side, the Howling Twin-headed Serpent was battling an unidentified man, while on the other side, the Bai Clan Guardian faced off against Ning Zhiyuan. Ouyang Zixin suddenly felt that her eyes were not enough; she wanted to look here and there, as it was quite a spectacle.
——Master...
Nameless found it hard to watch Ouyang Zixin enjoying the show. Was she really okay like this?
"What’s wrong?" Ouyang Zixin wished she had a handful of sunflower seeds in her hands; she loved watching the drama unfold.
——Master. A San Gongzi need not worry; it's just that this Xiaoshen, if we don't take action soon, it might escape by dawn.
With this reminder from Nameless, Ouyang Zixin realized that most of the night had already passed, and soon it would be dawn.
She clapped her hands and said, "Alright, we've seen enough excitement. Our goal is to hunt; we can't let our prey escape."
Just as Ouyang Zixin and the others were about to join the battle, the man suddenly unleashed two beams of purple Mysterious Energy from his palms. He shouted something, and then a mystical beast about half a person's height appeared out of thin air, joining him in attacking the Howling Twin-headed Serpent.
"Is that summoning?!"
Not only was Ouyang Zixin taken aback, but even Ning Zhiyuan, who was well-informed, felt a chill in his heart. In this Yuhai Continent, there were likely not many who could summon such a Mystical Beast at such a young age. Connecting these dots revealed much about the man's identity.
Huan'er naturally knew what tricks her brother had up his sleeve. At this moment, she watched in astonishment and couldn't help but burst into laughter, mocking them for being so easily surprised.
However, it was uncertain how many more Mystical Beasts this man could summon. If he summoned another one to snatch away Baike, that would be troublesome.
Thinking of this possibility, Ouyang Zixin quickly called over Liu Ying and Liu Lu to drag Baike up from the ground and place him behind them.
In truth, Ouyang Zixin was overthinking; even if this man could summon another Mystical Beast, he wouldn't come to snatch away Baike. After all, the Howling Twin-headed Serpent was not easy to deal with. If he could summon other Mystical Beasts, they would certainly be used for battle rather than for capturing someone.
The half-person-high Mystical Beast howled as if using sound wave attacks against the Howling Twin-headed Serpent, showing no signs of struggle. As it faced off against the Howling Twin-headed Serpent, blocking its sound wave attack allowed the man to free his hands for offense.
In an instant, sand and stones flew, dust rose, and the sound waves collided, causing chaos in the area.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu quickly covered their ears, focusing their minds to resist the turbulent sound waves. However, Ouyang Zixin seemed completely unaffected, which made them feel puzzled.
With a confident demeanor, Ouyang Zixin pointed to her ears, indicating that she was well-prepared.
Ning Zhiyuan and the guard had exchanged no less than thirty moves, yet they had not gained any advantage. No wonder this person was arranged by Baike to appear last; indeed, they had some skills.
"Nameless, do you have a way to hold off that Summon Celestial Beast?"
It was time to take action.
Nameless pondered for a moment and said, "Master, that Mystical Beast can negate sound waves. Why not let it confront them directly?"
Ouyang Zixin rolled her eyes, completely disagreeing with Nameless's suggestion. "Are you stupid? It negates sound wave attacks because it wants to protect its master. If we attack, it might strike from behind and turn the sound waves against us. That would only create more trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Nameless realized the truth; if he were in its position, he probably wouldn't protect anyone other than his master.
"Nameless can ensure it won't strike from behind the master."
With Nameless's assurance, Ouyang Zixin didn't hesitate any longer and decisively launched an attack towards the Howling Twin-headed Serpent. (To be continued.)
