Baike chose not to enter the cave. In her judgment, she should be able to take down the Mystical Beast outside the cave.
With her presence outside, when it came time to divide the spoils, Ouyang Zixin would have little to contribute and wouldn't dare to ask for too much. At that point, wouldn't it all be up to her?
She gave a glance to her guards, who understood the signal and quietly retreated, hiding in the shadows while concealing their presence well.
Looking at Ning Zhiyuan, who was still foolishly smiling, and Liu Lvy, left behind by Ouyang Zixin, Bai Kexin sneered inwardly, lowering her opinion of Ouyang Zixin even further. It seemed that her aunt's daughter was nothing special after all.
However, her ability to attract men was impressive; she wondered where that beggar-like A Three had gone, only to find another distant brother appearing. Each one was either exceptionally skilled or strikingly handsome, not to mention the ambiguous Yun Tianmo.
With her head lowered, Baike did not notice that Ning Zhiyuan had already taken Liu Lvy to hide. By the time she regained her senses, she found herself alone at the cave entrance.
Furrowing her brows slightly, she was surprised at how lost in thought she had become. Baike sighed lightly, gathered her thoughts, and moved into the shadows to quietly wait for the return of the Mystical Beast.
Inside the cave, there were no cover objects, making it quite difficult to hide.
After circling around inside the cave, Ouyang Zixin abandoned the idea of ambushing and boldly sat down on the left side of the cave, completely exposing herself.
Liu Ying followed closely behind Ouyang Zixin. Although she hadn’t received any orders, they had a tacit understanding and walked directly to sit opposite Ouyang Zixin on the right side of the cave.
The two guards sent into the cave by Baike were well aware of their Legitimate Young Lady's plans. The Mystical Beast would never have a chance to return to this cave; it would definitely be dealt with outside. Therefore, they paid no mind to what Ouyang Zixin intended to do. They simply took out their Water Bags from their waists and began drinking together.
"Drinking during a hunt?" Ouyang Zixin sniffed; the aroma of wine filled the cave without any intention of concealment.
——Master. Could it be that this Mystical Beast is very weak?
Hearing this, Ouyang Zixin sneered and began communicating with Nameless in her mind while appearing to be meditating with her eyes closed.
If she wasn't mistaken, Baike had indeed made a clever calculation. In terms of numbers, regardless of whether this Mystical Beast ultimately entered the cave or not, only their side would benefit. The division between those inside and outside the cave was merely for appearances' sake.
——Humans are truly cunning.
After exchanging thoughts with the Ancient Mystic Beast, Nameless began commenting on humans one by one, causing black lines to appear on Ouyang Zixin's forehead.
He spat and said, "Humans, what's so cunning about them? Not everyone is the same. As for us humans? Nameless, then tell me, what kind are you?"
Nameless was momentarily speechless, falling silent.
Categorizing Nameless was indeed a headache. The worst part was that even he himself didn't know what he truly was.
With the moon high in the sky, it seemed that Mystical Beast would be returning soon, so Ouyang Zixin stopped chatting aimlessly with Nameless and focused intently on the situation outside the cave.
The two guards were still drinking, completely unconcerned about the hunt. Before Mystical Beast arrived, they were already showing signs of drunkenness.
"The guards from the Bai Clan are being too blatant. Aren't they afraid their lady will blame them?" Liu Ying thought to herself. What use were such guards?
——Master, did A Three mention what kind of Mystical Beast we are hunting tonight?
“……”
Ouyang Zixin was truly dumbfounded now. Did A Three mention it? It seemed like they did, but she hadn't paid attention at all; she didn't even know what the prey was before coming to hunt.
"No matter what it is, just capture it." Ouyang Zixin signaled for Nameless to be quiet and not disturb her focus.
Unlike the situation inside the cave, outside, Baike led three guards who were on high alert, ready for battle at any moment. Meanwhile, Ning Zhiyuan, with Liu Lvy, had hidden somewhere unknown, leaving Baike and her team completely unaware.
"When that Howling Twin-headed Serpent returns, you two will engage it from either side while I circle around to attack its Seven Inches from behind," Baike said as she looked up at the moon and communicated with the two guards.
As for the two left behind by Ouyang Zixin, it would be best if they could help; if not, it didn't matter to Baike, so she didn't consider coordinating with them.
Ning Zhiyuan could guess some of Baike's plans and leisurely said to Liu Lvy, "You are a body cultivator, right? You will focus on attacking its tail."
As the saying goes, one cannot attend to both head and tail. With three people on Baike's side, controlling the serpent's head would undoubtedly be their primary strategy. Therefore, there was no need for him to compete; since the Howling Twin-headed Serpent mainly relied on sound wave attacks, he wouldn't obstruct them if they wanted to face it head-on.
"And what about you, young master?" Liu Lvy, unlike Ouyang Zixin, knew what kind of Mystical Beast they were hunting tonight. Although girls often have some aversion to cold-blooded animals like snakes, she could still overcome it.
"I will wait for an opportunity; you need not ask further," Ning Zhiyuan replied with a slight raise of his eyebrows and a smirk. "Are you worried about me, miss?"
Ning Zhiyuan had always been attentive to Ouyang Zixin, but tonight, for some reason, he playfully flirted with Liu Lvy, causing her to blush and lower her head without asking further.
Before long, rustling sounds came from the grass in the northwest direction of the cave.
The Howling Twin-headed Serpent seemed overly confident; no Mystical Beasts or humans dared to disturb it in its territory. Upon returning, it made no effort to conceal itself and created quite a commotion.
It was coming.
Everyone's hearts tightened, even the two guards inside the cave, who appeared to be leisurely drinking, momentarily paused their actions. This brief moment allowed Ouyang Zixin to see clearly and couldn't help but sneer. "Keep pretending! I'll let you pretend!"
The two guards feigned toasting each other while exchanging glances filled with fierce determination, their eyes tinged with a hint of red from the alcohol.
The Howling Twin-headed Serpent was covered in dark red scales, leaving deep tracks in its wake. Both heads were raised high, exhaling red mist. In the night, illuminated by moonlight, the reflected glow was not blinding but abundant.
This vast amount of reflected light indicated its cultivation level; the higher the cultivation of the Howling Twin-headed Serpent, the denser its scales would be. When fully matured, its body would be as impenetrable as iron walls. The sheer number of scales on this large Xiaoshen indicated that it was already a powerful being among high-level creatures.
While everyone's attention was drawn to Xiaoshen, the two guards in the cave suddenly dropped their Water Bags and simultaneously summoned their Mystical Artifacts to attack...
Their target was not Xiaoshen; it was Ouyang Zixin! (To be continued.)
