"Mo King, is this really appropriate?" Ouyang Zixin first stopped Baike from leaving, then turned to Yun Tianmo with gritted teeth and said, "This person just had intimate contact with you, and you are kissing me right in front of her. You must be hurting her feelings."
Heaven knows that when Ouyang Zixin said this, her heart was almost bleeding. Her tightly clenched fists trembled slightly as she recalled how Yun Tianmo treated her in the Underground Palace, making it even harder for her to face his current "false affection."
"She doesn't deserve it." Yun Tianmo glanced at Baike, clearly displeased that she was still here, so his words became even more ruthless. As for how Baike would react to this remark, he didn't care at all.
Sure enough, after Yun Tianmo finished speaking, Baike's face turned pale, but she didn't say anything in rebuttal or protest. Instead, she nervously twisted the handkerchief in her hands and forced out a stiff smile. "I'll go find Tian Ying."
"The White Maiden is the same; no wonder the Mo King treats you like this. The Mo King is still here, yet you keep mentioning other men. Tsk tsk..." These two really are a perfect match; could it be that their underground relationship has reached new heights? They can tolerate others being used to cover their ears and eyes. So am I also just a tool to deceive others?
—Master...
Hmm, I sensed him coming for quite some time.
Compared to Nameless's perceptive abilities, since leaving the Underground Palace, Ouyang Zixin felt significantly weaker. So when Nameless reminded her, she had just sensed another person's presence.
—About the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Nameless felt he meant no harm, so he didn't interrupt you. However, he seems very concerned about the Mo King.
Oh?
Ouyang Zixin raised an eyebrow. She slightly turned her body and discreetly glanced towards a large tree about two yards away. It was a man; unfortunately, her perception had diminished greatly, so she couldn't identify him specifically. But there shouldn't be many people in these Millennium Ruins who would care about Yun Tianmo; could it be Yun Tianying?
She remembered Baike mentioning that Yun Tianying was not far ahead. So he must have come personally since he couldn't wait for someone.
This is getting interesting.
"Master, what do you want to do?"
"What to do? Naturally, I will arrange a good show for them."
Ouyang Zixin temporarily interrupted the communication with Nameless and reached out to Yun Tianmo, saying, "Give me back my things. You may not look at them, but I still want to."
Earlier, the Small Stone Box had clearly made a sound, yet Yun Tianmo had stubbornly ignored it. Now that a good show was to be prepared, the Small Stone Box would naturally come into play. Seeing that he still refused to take it out, Ouyang Zixin's eyes darted around. No longer acting aggressively, she instead approached with a smile, tugging at Yun Tianmo's sleeve and saying, "What’s this? You still care about such a small thing? I already gave you that shield."
With a hint of playfulness and a touch of mischief, Ouyang Zixin's sparkling gaze swept over the Small Stone Box in Yun Tianmo's hand. Taking advantage of his confusion from her unpredictable attitude, she quickly snatched the Small Stone Box back. Shaking it in her hand, she smiled at Yun Tianmo and said, "If you won't give it to me, I have my ways."
Ouyang Zixin walked towards Baike with the Small Stone Box in hand and shook it in front of her, saying, "This is a good item. Without it, I wouldn't have known your relationship with the Ink King was so inseparable."
To ensure that the person who might be Yun Tianying in the distance could hear her words, Ouyang Zixin deliberately raised her voice. This made Baike frown; such behavior was unbecoming of a noble lady. Just as Baike was about to criticize Ouyang Zixin's actions, Ouyang Zixin suddenly lowered her voice and said, "You want both brothers? It won't be that easy."
Baike momentarily failed to grasp the meaning behind Ouyang Zixin's words but instinctively felt uneasy. However, she didn't know how to ask about it. In this hesitation, Ouyang Zixin had already walked away, tossing the Small Stone Box in her hand as if in a good mood.
It hadn't been long since Ouyang Zixin's transformation was indeed rapid.
"Oh my, isn't that the Ink King's royal brother?" Ouyang Zixin didn't care about their reactions and exaggeratedly exclaimed after opening the Small Stone Box. "Oh my, being so close together; could it be he also saw how intimate you two were just now?"
Upon hearing that Yun Tianying was nearby, Baike quickly looked around but saw no one. She looked at Ouyang Zixin in confusion and asked, "Where is Tian Ying?"
Ah, these two really couldn't sense anything.
Ouyang Zixin had found it strange earlier; although she had been somewhat slow to react, she still sensed someone approaching. However, with Yun Tianmo's high cultivation level, even Nameless would likely be insufficiently perceptive before him. The fact that he hadn't noticed made her feel something was off about this place. Testing this further confirmed her suspicion; Baike also had considerable cultivation but did not react either. Thus, the advantage of sensing others seemed to lie solely in her hands.
A sly smile curled at the corners of her mouth; this good show could not be wasted. Seeing how tense Baike was, she beckoned her over with a finger, signaling her to come take a look. At the same time, she shot a glance at Yun Tianmo with an ambiguous expression, not waiting for any response before retracting her gaze.
Baike approached Ouyang Zixin with some hesitation. Under her guidance, she looked at the Small Stone Box and saw that there was a small mirror on its lid. The reflection in the mirror showed a scene not far from where they were, where Yun Tianying was resting. Before long, the view gradually changed, seemingly getting closer to their location, which dispelled much of Baike's doubt but increased the incredulity in her eyes.
Is this the Mirror Guardian that Ouyang Zixin mentioned?
Is this what she obtained during her Fortune Day in the Millennium Ruins?
“Tian Ying.” Baike indeed saw Yun Tianying's figure appear in the small mirror, and her confirmation made Ouyang Zixin realize that her guess was correct. It truly was a case of finding something effortlessly after searching high and low; having Baike say it herself was far more convincing than if she had said it.
Now let’s see how these two will act!
Not only had she seen their intimate actions, but now one was a brother and the other a "lover." If they couldn't sort out this relationship, it would be quite amusing.
“Oh dear, it seems I really did see something,” Ouyang Zixin said loudly. “Since you’re here and we’ve seen you, why not come out?”
With everyone gathered, the show could begin.
As soon as Ouyang Zixin finished speaking, Yun Tianmo swiftly moved toward the large tree in the direction of her gaze. When he saw who had arrived, he was taken aback; he hadn’t noticed them at all. How did Ouyang Zixin know?
Could it really be the Mirror Guardian?! (To be continued.)
