———————————Update Divider—————————————
The journey of Ouyang Zixin in the "Bad Luck Physique" secret realm has been exceptionally difficult in the days to come, with various unexpected misfortunes occurring from time to time.
If you can't avoid it, then face it head-on.
In the first month, Ouyang Zixin fought against low-level Mystical Beast cubs, significantly improving her physique.
In the following three months, under the cold gaze of Yun Tianmo and Ning Zhiyuan, the cubs rarely appeared, replaced instead by a group of already adult low-level Mystical Beasts.
During these three months, Ouyang Zixin greatly improved her martial skills and was able to proficiently apply the techniques that Ning Zhiyuan had taught her.
Thanks to Ouyang Zixin, the three of them never had to worry about food. The meat of Mystical Beasts is somewhat tough; although it's hard to eat, it has a good chewiness. Plus, Ning Zhiyuan is excellent at roasting meat, earning him quite a few compliments from Ouyang Zixin.
This also made Ning Zhiyuan quite pleased with himself.
On this day, the three could vaguely see the edge of the black soil, indicating that this first phase of their secret realm training was about to come to an end.
After staring at the dark land all day, Ouyang Zixin finally saw different colors, which made her very happy.
"Finally going out," the three of them sat around the campfire, the aroma of grilled meat wafting through the air. Ouyang Zixin mumbled, "If we don't go out soon, I might get Black Blindness."
"What is Black Blindness?" Ning Zhiyuan asked while grilling the meat.
"It's a symptom similar to snow blindness. If your eyes are exposed to a white snowy landscape for too long, it can cause damage to your eyes, known as Snow Blindness. Black Blindness means that staring at black land all day can also harm your eyes. It poses a risk of blindness," Ouyang Zixin explained cheerfully, perhaps because they were about to leave this dark land.
"I've never heard of that," Yun Tianmo said. Having a sibling with a chronic illness, he considered himself knowledgeable about pathology but had never come across Snow Blindness.
"Hey, what's this? Are you interested in icebergs?" Ouyang Zixin teased. It had been over four months, and the iceberg was indeed living up to its name. The times she initiated conversation could be counted on one hand.
Wiping her mouth happily, Ouyang Zixin's eating habits had become familiar to the others; they were no longer surprised by her behavior, even when she licked her fingers.
"Let me tell you about Snow Blindness..."
After Ouyang Zixin's explanation, Yun Tianmo and Ning Zhiyuan finally understood what Snow Blindness was. They hadn't realized that walking in snowy areas for extended periods could pose a risk of blindness if one wasn't careful.
"Ouyang Zixin really knows a lot," Ning Zhiyuan said as he brushed his long hair back, his handsome face adorned with a bright smile, and a glint of brilliance flashed in his narrow eyes.
"You don't need to admire me; I just know a tiny bit more than you do," Ouyang Zixin said proudly while raising her pinky finger.
"What's with that expression? You look like a little person who has achieved something," Ning Zhiyuan remarked. Throughout their journey, the two had been engaged in constant banter, and he had grown accustomed to sparring verbally with Ouyang Zixin.
What happened to the Light and Easy Ning Zhiyuan? Sorry, he has disappeared, leaving only a mischievous older brother who enjoys teasing the girl.
Today, Ouyang Zixin is in a good mood and doesn't feel like arguing with him.
Yun Tianmo's face flickers in the light of the campfire. After more than four months of getting to know Ouyang Zixin's personality of not bothering others if they don't bother him, she has come to understand it well. Initially, their banter frustrated Yun Tianmo for a long time because Ouyang Zixin seemed to have endless things to say to Ning Zhiyuan, while with her...
Thinking of this, Yun Tianmo couldn't help but frown.
Ning Zhiyuan has always appeared indifferent and aloof, never seen so actively trying to engage with a girl, yet he seems quite different with Ouyang Zixin.
What exactly is Ning Zhiyuan planning?
Ouyang Zixin has already turned her back to the campfire and lies down, her small figure flickering in and out of the firelight. For a girl who has never ventured outside before, this time in Black Land has truly been tough for her.
Strong and resilient, she faces situations without hesitation. Such qualities in Ouyang Zixin easily attract others' attention. Her unexpected performances spark curiosity about how much hidden energy lies within her small frame.
Yun Tianmo can see this, and naturally, Ning Zhiyuan would not overlook these appealing traits in Ouyang Zixin.
Watching the seemingly increasingly "intimate" relationship between the two makes Yun Tianmo feel uneasy, though she cannot pinpoint the source of this unease.
"You've been silent for longer lately," Ning Zhiyuan observes as he notices Yun Tianmo staring intently at Ouyang Zixin's back, looking contemplative.
"Mm?" The rising tone indicates that Yun Tianmo is not in a good mood at the moment and clearly feels that Ning Zhiyuan is meddling.
“Yun Jiu, your hostility seems to be misdirected.” When it comes to coldness, Ning Zhiyuan is no less than Yun Tianmo, but their different backgrounds give Yun Tianmo an added air of arrogance and dominance.
Ning Zhiyuan pays no mind to the dissatisfaction that Yun Tianmo inadvertently reveals. After speaking, he rises and walks into the shadows. The light from the campfire can only illuminate a limited area, and soon his figure disappears.
At this moment, Ouyang Zixin turns over, facing the campfire. Before long, her cheeks are flushed with a rosy hue. Her small body curls up like a little cat.
Ouyang Hao, what kind of daughter have you raised?
Yun Tianmo glances at Ouyang Zixin as well and then stands up to leave, leaving the warmth of the campfire for Ouyang Zixin alone.
For four months, they have waited until Ouyang Zixin falls asleep before seeking out a more remote place to rest. If one goes off to cultivate, the other stays behind to keep watch over Ouyang Zixin.
Tonight, Yun Tianmo originally planned to cross Black Land for reconnaissance. However, seeing Ning Zhiyuan hidden in the shadows, guarding a corner for Ouyang Zixin, he begins to entertain thoughts of abandoning his mission.
“Haha, do you really think I would harm her?” Ning Zhiyuan teased. “The esteemed Ninth Prince is actually worried about a woman; how rare.”
With that, he leaps away toward the edge of Black Land, leaving Yun Tianmo to guard Ouyang Zixin.
Watching the direction in which Ning Zhiyuan departed, Yun Tianmo stands with his hands clasped behind his back, still as a statue, not moving an inch until light breaks over the horizon.
That night, the results of the mutual probing between the two men will remain known only to them…
