The Small Stone Box looked somewhat pitiful, as it had been carelessly tossed onto the sand by its unscrupulous owner yesterday. The lid was not properly closed, and since the two individuals completely ignored it, it ended up being buried in gravel, filled to the brim with white sand.
"Such a waste." Zhao Feiyu glanced at it sideways, unable to help but curl his lip. This kind of thing probably only seemed worthless in the eyes of these two; anyone else would have held it carefully, afraid of dropping it.
"Things are meant to be used. If they are no longer useful, why keep them hidden like treasures?" Ouyang Zixin did not think there was anything wrong with how they treated the Small Stone Box. The noise it made yesterday was truly annoying, and tossing it aside was already quite polite.
So what should they do next? Get the people out?
Yun Tianmo caught Ouyang Zixin's questioning gaze and nodded slightly, "One by one."
Since there was no exit to be found here for now, if they wanted to make use of the Small Stone Box again, they first needed to deal with the three people inside. In his eyes, none of them were particularly noteworthy.
Yun Tianying and Zhao Feiyu naturally had no objections, standing by as mere spectators. It was normal for Zhao Feiyu to feel indifferent, but Yun Tianying's attitude made Ouyang Zixin feel a bit disheartened. Not long ago, she seemed close to Baike, yet now she showed no concern for her safety at all.
Yesterday, when he saw the three rolling around in the Mirror Guardian, he had turned and left without a second thought. He hadn’t given Baike’s predicament a moment's consideration; if he hadn’t disliked her so much, he might have shed a tear for her. Royal men were indeed heartless.
As Ouyang Zixin thought about this, she couldn’t help but glance at Yun Tianmo. These two were brothers from the same mother; she had just spent the night with him... Would he also treat her so coldly?
The three were waiting for Ouyang Zixin to take action, but after a while without any movement from her, they realized she seemed lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" Yun Tianmo asked helplessly as he stepped closer and leaned slightly to whisper in her ear, "Is something wrong?"
Only Ouyang Zixin could manipulate this Small Stone Box. While he could offer some minor assistance, that depended on whether its owner could freely use his Mysterious Energy. If there was something wrong with the Small Stone Box, he wouldn’t be able to sense it; only if Ouyang Zixin voiced her concerns would he know.
Just as he pondered whether this man would also be so heartless, he approached her. Naturally, Ouyang Zixin would not give him a pleasant expression. So she forced a smile and said, "I was thinking about Baike's situation. What if one day I end up in the same predicament?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Tianmo was taken aback. Ouyang Zixin spoke very softly, clearly not wanting anyone else to hear. But why did she mention Baike's situation to him? And what did it have to do with her?
"Hmph, I can't tell if you really don't understand or if you're just pretending to be clueless." Ouyang Zixin pouted, noticing a hint of confusion in Yun Tianmo's eyes, which instantly dampened her spirits. After all, how could a heartless person ever admit anything?
On the other hand, Yun Tianmo didn't fully grasp the meaning behind Ouyang Zixin's words. Who would have thought that this Little Woman would suddenly associate things that were completely unrelated? They were clearly discussing how to deal with the three individuals, so how did it lead to other matters? Yun Tianying was not feeling any better either. Ouyang Zixin's gaze towards him was strange, almost disdainful, but why would she look down on him?
The two brothers appeared completely bewildered. It wasn't until Ouyang Zixin fiddled with the Small Stone Box for a while and finally brought out all three individuals that they shifted their attention to them.
As for Ouyang Zixin's odd behavior, the two tacitly chose to ignore it.
Among the three, Feng Chengxuan looked the most disheveled. He had already appeared in tatters when he showed up at Beautiful Scenery Without Form, and after being tossed around like this, he was almost exposed.
Ouyang Zixin and Zhao Feiyu both turned away from him, while Baike fared the best; his clothes had only a few small tears and were still relatively intact. The one least cared about was probably Zhai Yiqi. His family background and status were rather awkward among these people—neither here nor there—and it was likely that very few could even recall his name.
Nameless.
—Master, what are your orders?
Bring water and splash it on them.
Splash—
Nameless generously summoned the nourishing water from the Azure Wood in the space and poured it over the faces and bodies of the three as if it cost nothing.
As they were splashed, all three began to show signs of waking up.
"Where on earth did you hide so much stuff?" Zhao Feiyu had no particular thoughts about Ouyang Zixin being able to produce dry rations and a Water Bag; she was just surprised that she could bring out so much water to wake them up. This made her unable to resist circling around Ouyang Zixin, her gaze scanning her from head to toe, yet she couldn't find any hidden tricks—not even a Mystical Artifact in her space.
"Are we that familiar?" Why should I tell you!
"Alright, let's first ask them what they remember," Yun Tianying said, noticing that the two women were about to start arguing. He quickly interrupted and shifted the focus to the three who had already woken up.
"Yun Tianying..." Baike, upon regaining her senses, saw Yun Tianying first. Her heartfelt call made everyone present feel a shiver, and they couldn't help but turn their faces away, revealing expressions of discomfort.
Feng Chengxuan and Zhai Yiqi were relatively calm. After surveying the people around them, they seemed to have guessed something and remained silent.
Baike's delicate appearance drew attention to her perfectly. If she hadn't called out Yun Tianying's name right away, Zhai Yiqi might have stepped forward to express his concern. Looking at Feng Chengxuan's expression, it was clear that he was also drawn in by Baike's slightly transparent clothes that had been wet by someone.
However, Baike gazed at Yun Tianying with deep affection, while he remained unfazed, seemingly unaffected by her presence. He calmly asked, "Did White Maiden bring a change of clothes?"
At his words, Baike suddenly realized that her clothes seemed to be wet. She looked down in shock and covered her chest, her eyes showing just the right amount of panic as she looked up at him with a pitiful expression. "Tian Ying, can you help me?"
Baike had clearly set her sights on Yun Tianying. Ouyang Zixin teasingly watched her before turning to look at the unresponsive Yun Tianying, speaking with a hint of amusement, "You've seen everything worth seeing; what else is there to hide?"
Upon hearing this, Baike turned to look and found Feng Chengxuan and Zhai Yiqi also staring at her. Remembering her "exposed spring light," she blushed deeply—not from embarrassment but from anger. "It's you, Ouyang Zixin! It must be you; you did this on purpose!"
Oh? On purpose?
So what if it was! Go ahead and bite me! (To be continued.)
