The words that slipped out could not be taken back, and she secretly thought to herself that it was bad. Although the Ice Prince appeared expressionless, he was actually quite petty. Now she had said that they were not familiar with each other...
From a distance, Nameless sensed the strange atmosphere here. For his own safety, he decided not to approach. As for whether the Master would be in danger, there was no need to worry about that. If Yun Tianmo wanted to crush the Master, even if he rushed over, it would just be a matter of one hand crushing one person.
"Cloud Young Master's cultivation has improved too quickly," Nameless said, sticking out his tongue as he continued to search for treasures.
Ouyang Zixin had no way of knowing Nameless's thoughts about being ungrateful, but she clearly sensed that Yun Tianmo was angry. She felt the grip on her waist tighten as if he wanted to break her in half. Ouyang Zixin gasped; this Yun Tianmo was really something. He had just stolen a kiss from her and now was using so much force—how heartless.
Yun Tianmo looked down at Ouyang Zixin's head, her long black hair tied into a ponytail. It looked a bit strange from this angle, but he did hear her gasp. However, he had no intention of loosening his grip; this girl was too infuriating and needed to be taught a lesson. How dare she say they were not familiar? Hmph.
"Then who are you familiar with? Ning Zhiyuan?" He didn't mean to say that, but as soon as Yun Tianmo opened his mouth, it came out like this.
Ning Zhiyuan?
Ouyang Zixin suddenly realized she couldn't remember whether she was familiar with Ning Zhiyuan or not. Just as she was about to shake her head to indicate she didn't know him, she suddenly recalled A Three mentioning that there was a character with "far" in his name. Could it be that his name was Ning Zhiyuan?
While Ouyang Zixin felt guilty for never seriously asking Ning Zhiyuan what his name was, every time she had just casually given him a title. Seeing her silent reaction, Yun Tianmo interpreted it differently. Could it be that these two really had something going on?
"Ah!" Ouyang Zixin suddenly felt a sharp pain in her waist and exclaimed as she slapped at the hand gripping her waist, saying, "Are you sick? Can't you feel pain?"
Originally, it was just a matter of strength; if she couldn't break free, that would have been fine. But now he had genuinely hurt her. She imagined her tender skin would bruise; this damn iceberg—was he like the weather in March? Changing at a moment's notice.
Ouyang Zixin's accusation brought Yun Tianmo back to his senses for a moment. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed her eyes were already misty, filled only with grievance. The emotions that had just flickered across her face were nowhere to be seen. This left Yun Tianmo momentarily speechless. In the end, he cleared his throat and said, "If you wait a week, the bruise will fade."
"Hmph, hurting someone and pretending to be kind," Ouyang Zixin rolled her eyes at him but still followed his advice.
Thus, all the charm and allure dissipated into nothingness, and the two awkward individuals quietly immersed themselves in their own thoughts, each tending to their wounds. If it weren't for the sudden burst of brilliance from the Source Serpent Scale Shield later on, it would have been hard to tell how long these two would remain in their awkwardness.
"What happened?" Ouyang Zixin turned her head and saw Yun Tianmo startled as he walked over to the Source Serpent Scale Shield, his expression uncertain.
Yun Tianmo did not look up at her but pointed at the patterns on the shield's surface and said, "The stone material has cracked; the shield can't be exposed for too long. It must recognize its master quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Ouyang Zixin exclaim with a prolonged "Oh," looking up to see her arms crossed, appearing indifferent. When she caught him looking at her, she provocatively lifted her chin, as if implying that any delay was his fault and she was the victim.
What a petty girl.
Yun Tianmo chose to ignore the provocation in her gaze and continued to examine the shield. Nameless returned when the brilliance erupted but found nothing particularly noteworthy. Floating behind Ouyang Zixin, Nameless whispered, "What happened?"
Ouyang Zixin did not answer but merely pouted her lips to indicate that the shield had suddenly started glowing, and she had no idea what was going on.
Well, actually, Nameless wanted to gossip about what had transpired between these two, but unfortunately, the master's reaction in front of Yun Tianmo was just too... good. So gossiping would have to wait for another time.
Seeing that Yun Tianmo had been scrutinizing the shield for quite a while without taking action made both master and servant feel somewhat bored. Ouyang Zixin recalled that he had clearly stated that the shield couldn't be exposed for too long and needed to recognize its master quickly; so why wasn't he making a move?
In truth, it wasn't that Yun Tianmo didn't want to act; he was waiting for the brilliance to completely dissipate. It was said that the brilliance of the Source Serpent Scale Shield was meant to attract ignorant people closer. If one were careless, not only would they fail to obtain a top-tier Mystical Artifact, but they might also lose their life. The Source Serpent was indeed a divine-level existence; however, it was not of their kind, so one must never let their guard down. To claim this Source Serpent Scale Shield required utmost caution.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the brilliance finally faded completely, and the Underground Palace returned to its original tranquility, though it seemed much dimmer than before.
Yun Tianmo cautiously enveloped his hands with Mysterious Energy and reached out to flip the entire Source Serpent Scale Shield over, exposing its back. He then moved his hands in the air for a while, and Black Qi gradually spread throughout his body, with some attempting to wrap around the Source Serpent Scale Shield.
"Is this how one recognizes a master?" Ouyang Zixin noted that she had no Mysterious Energy for recognition; the only one who did was Nameless. However, the situation was entirely different—wasn't it supposed to involve blood or something similar?
Nameless shook his head; he was also a novice in this regard and could only watch to gain experience. However, from what he observed, it was clear that Nameless was definitely not a Mystical Artifact. He wondered if he could find a Mystical Artifact in the future to recognize him as its master.
The Source Serpent Scale Shield, wrapped in Black Qi, slowly rose into the air. The heavy shield surprisingly floated effortlessly. After Yun Tianmo adjusted it, the Source Serpent Scale Shield stood upright right in front of him. It became apparent just how large the Source Serpent Scale Shield was; it could block three-quarters of Yun Tianmo's body. If his head hadn't been sticking out, Ouyang Zixin would have seriously doubted whether the shield could crush him.
Yun Tianmo divided the Mysterious Energy in his palm into eight streams that connected to the Source Serpent Scale Shield from the sides. The two were linked together like this, and just when Ouyang Zixin thought the shield would fly onto her arm next, an astonishing scene unfolded—
The shield shattered into thousands of fragments. (To be continued.)
