Bai Kexin felt a fleeting moment of gratitude towards Ouyang Zixin. After all, she had no way to vent her frustration towards Feng Chengxuan. Although she held herself with pride due to her status, she couldn't help but feel diminished in front of the Dream Country Prince. Her mindset was similar to Zhai Yiqi's; the only difference was that Zhai Yiqi dared to express it, while she—
Perhaps it wasn't that she didn't dare, but rather that she couldn't.
The Bai Clan had remained hidden for many years, and without the protection of the Dreamland Royal Family, they would likely struggle to find a place in the Yuhai Continent. Therefore, she could never afford to offend anyone from the royal family directly.
"Does this mean you admit we're a bit more familiar now?" Zhao Feiyu noticed that Ouyang Zixin didn't give Bai Kexin a pleasant look and, feeling a spark of inspiration, stepped forward with a bright smile and asked, "After all, we are what you called old acquaintances; we must be somewhat familiar, right?"
Ouyang Zixin exaggeratedly took a step back towards Yun Tianmo, looking horrified at the approaching Zhao Feiyu. "Have you been swapped with someone else?"
Where did that arrogant Zhao Family young lady go? It was quite unsettling to see someone so thick-skinned in her place.
Zhao Feiyu spat in response but didn't mind it. Instead, she felt that her relationship with Ouyang Zixin seemed to have grown closer due to that "scandalous" gossip. At least these jokes were something friends would say to each other, right? So even though Ouyang Zixin suspected she had been swapped out, Zhao Feiyu maintained a cheerful demeanor and firmly expressed her support for Ouyang Zixin.
The interaction between the two left Bai Kexin puzzled; however, a flash of jealousy crossed her eyes. If not for Yun Tianmo keeping an eye on Zhai Yiqi and Yun Tianying, no one might have noticed the dark side hidden beneath Bai Kexin's gentle facade. This made Yun Tianmo wary of Bai Kexin.
Feng Chengxuan was sent flying by Yun Tianmo and landed hard. It took him a while to get up, trembling with anger, but the injuries he sustained prevented him from moving too much. He shot a venomous glare at Zi Yi and said, "Mo King, I have not offended you; why do you strike me so harshly?"
Diplomacy among princes should not be like this. Even if they couldn't become friends, they shouldn't offend each other. Yet Yun Tianmo acted irrationally and actually harmed him, leaving him both furious and confused.
"Foolish," Yun Tianmo replied with just those two words before completely ignoring him. The once-proud prince now resembled a stray dog barking wildly and trying to attack. It was simply reckless.
"Hey, what kind of prince are you? I ask you, were you really trying to kick me just now?" Ouyang Zixin felt a deep resonance with Yun Tianmo's words. Was this Crown Prince of Dream Nation lacking in intelligence? Could he not see that she was under Yun Tianmo's protection? To try and make a move in front of him—wasn't that just foolish?
Feng Chengxuan twisted his face, glaring at Ouyang Zixin with resentment. Despite his disheveled appearance, he still carried himself with an air of superiority. "So what if I was?"
Oh, so what?
Ouyang Zixin reached out and pulled Zhao Feiyu behind her. Although she hadn't yet considered Zhao Feiyu a friend, they were from the same hometown, so it was best to avoid dragging her into trouble. Facing the already severely injured Feng Chengxuan, she felt no fear at all. She gave Zhao Feiyu a "watch me" look and confidently walked up to him. "Do you know what happened to the last person who tried to harm me? Oh no, who tried to kill me?"
"What does it have to do with This Prince?" Was Ouyang Zixin out of her mind? Why was she saying such nonsense? He was the Crown Prince of Dream Nation; why would he care about the affairs of a noble girl from another country?
Ouyang Zixin chuckled softly, her delicate fingers brushing back the loose strands of hair that had fallen onto her forehead. She twirled the ends of her hair while lightly saying, "Does it not matter? I fear it does. Because you just attempted to harm me, didn't you?"
After saying this, she flashed a charming smile at Feng Chengxuan. "You are only seriously injured now, but that person—tut tut—there must be grass taller than a person on their grave by now."
"Haha, are you trying to scare This Prince?" Feng Chengxuan laughed heartily upon hearing this. Even if that person was dead, who knew who they were? He was different; he was the prince of Dream Nation. If Ouyang Zixin thought she could intimidate him, she had truly miscalculated.
"Is what she said true?" Zhao Feiyu had been delighted that Ouyang Zixin had pulled her behind her just a moment ago, but now she felt an impulse to die because she had also harmed Ouyang Zixin before. If that was the case, did that mean she too...
"Scare you?" Ouyang Zixin pouted thoughtfully and shook her head. She wasn't trying to scare him; everything she said was true. "There's no money in scaring you; I wouldn't do something so boring."
Seeing Feng Chengxuan's arrogant demeanor, Ouyang Zixin narrowed her beautiful eyes as the smile gradually faded from her face, replaced by a hint of sarcasm at the corners of her mouth. "So what if you're a prince? If I killed you here, who would dare pursue me outside? After all, this Millennium Ruins is fraught with danger; everyone who enters is responsible for their own fate. You say I want to kill you—what can you do about it?"
"Just based on you?" The more Feng Chengxuan listened, the more he felt that Ouyang Zixin was serious. His heart couldn't help but skip a beat; if she truly intended this... then wasn't he...
Ouyang Zixin looked at Feng Chengxuan, who appeared genuinely frightened yet was trying to act indifferent. She couldn't help but laugh, and the little momentum she had built up vanished. "Tsk tsk, it seems you don't believe me."
"Not believing is the right choice." Ouyang Zixin turned to glance at the people standing behind her: Yun Tianmo, Yun Tianying, and Zhao Feiyu. Ignoring Zhai Yiqi and Baike, she thought there was no need for her to take action to deal with Feng Chengxuan. After confirming that she had more than enough backup, she turned back to face Feng Chengxuan, her meaning clear; even without saying a word, it was enough for him to understand.
"You... you want to use more against fewer; how despicable." Feng Chengxuan was genuinely scared now. This fear was greater than when Zhai Yiqi had abandoned him in the Tunnel because he knew that the smiling woman before him was serious—she really would kill him.
"I am despicable?" Ouyang Zixin shook her finger dismissively, clearly disagreeing with his assessment. "You're the foolish one, not knowing not to offend women. And certainly not to attempt to strike a woman; otherwise, you'll die a miserable death."
Feng Chengxuan scanned the surroundings. If he wanted to rally support, he had only two options: Zhai Yiqi and Baike. However, both had just been humiliated by him; it seemed impossible for them to come to his aid now. He gritted his teeth in frustration. "How do you know they will help you? Hmph, if I offer them greater benefits..."
"Fool! Stupid! Utterly foolish!"
Ouyang Zixin clapped her hands in amusement at how a prince could make such remarks at this critical moment to win people over or sow discord. It was truly worthy of applause; being this foolish took talent. Her father must have had a tough time raising him—wouldn't it be better if he were sent back for a do-over? (To be continued.)
