A lot of unexpected situations occurred overnight, leaving Ouyang Zixin feeling exhausted. Even with Yun Tianmo accompanying her, she found no relief. Ultimately, she chose to simply wipe herself down. Of course, whether she had been taken advantage of by Yun Tianmo was unclear to her; after all, he claimed to be a gentleman who only helped keep watch and would absolutely not do anything else!
Whether you believe it or not, Ouyang Zixin did.
She fell into a deep sleep in Yun Tianmo's embrace, truly worn out. The dark circles under her eyes were so pronounced that Yun Tianmo could only suppress himself and not disturb her rest.
"The Return of the Legitimate Daughter?" What did that mean? Ouyang Zixin couldn't articulate it herself, which left Yun Tianmo even more puzzled. However, one thing was certain: it seemed that a mysterious power had emerged within Ouyang Zixin.
Unbeknownst to Ouyang Zixin, Yun Tianmo examined her body. He found it strange that, aside from her own Mysterious Energy, there was also his Mysterious Energy present—something he had known for a while. However, during his examination, he discovered several new types of Mysterious Energy within her that had appeared at some unknown time. Each type had different properties, encompassing all varieties of Mysterious Energy found across the Yuhai Continent.
This included the gradually forming Taiji Yin-Yang Bagua Diagram at her dantian, which contained her energy, his energy, and the Orange Element. There was also a pure white Mysterious Energy whose origin and attributes he could not identify in such a short time.
Ouyang Zixin's situation was highly abnormal; it was impossible for an ordinary person to have such a mix of Mysterious Energy within them. Forcing multiple types of Mysterious Energy into a body could lead to an explosion. Yet within Ouyang Zixin, these mixed Mysterious Energies harmoniously coexisted in a remarkably clever manner.
Just moments ago, while Ouyang Zixin was wiping herself down, Yun Tianmo was surprised to discover yet another mysterious power within her body. This time, this power was not Mysterious Energy; calling it some kind of substance seemed inappropriate as well. Its existence resembled a certain aura...
The aura of a person.
How could one person have another person's aura within them? It was simply unfathomable.
However, to be honest, this little woman had quite an impressive figure...
Yun Tianmo smirked. He had only examined the chaotic Mysterious Energies in her body for her health and not out of any intention to spy.
With the beauty in his arms and images that stirred his heart floating in his mind, it was fortunate that Yun Tianmo had strong self-control. Otherwise, this little red riding hood would have truly fallen into the jaws of the big bad wolf.
He lowered his head and placed a light kiss on her forehead, as gentle as a feather brushing by. In her dreams, she felt a tickle and instinctively snuggled closer to him, revealing a hint of a sweet smile, as if she were dreaming something beautiful. Her moist red lips glistened enticingly, drawing him in to explore. The fragrance in his mouth was irresistible, causing a warmth to spread in his lower abdomen, and he became completely stiff.
"Ah, what a teasing little fairy," Yun Tianmo said as he lifted his head. No longer seeking her beauty, he acknowledged that although she had grown significantly, in his eyes, she still needed time to continue maturing. Since he had promised to wait, he would absolutely not go back on his word.
Yun Tianmo closed his eyes and gradually steadied his breathing. This night was tiring for both of them; although their situations were different, they ultimately shared the same destination.
Early the next morning, Ouyang Zixin was awakened by a commotion. Rubbing her eyes, she couldn't help but curse, "Disturbing my dreams is like killing my parents! Who is so ungrateful as to create such deep enmity with me?"
The noise was not far away, indicating that someone was approaching. Ouyang Zixin stretched and stood up, looking up to see that the ones arguing were Nangong Tuo and Zhao Feiyu. How did these two end up quarreling here?
"Third Prince, you care about Ouyang Zixin; who cares about my brother? He has been missing for a day and a night! I'm here to ask Ouyang Zixin what we should do next. Is that wrong?" Zhao Feiyu's voice was clearly filled with anger, and he no longer showed respect when facing Nangong Tuo.
"Still caring about family ties," Ouyang Zixin nodded. She always felt that those who valued family would not be too bad.
"No way! Ouyang Zixin was already so tired yesterday; let her rest more today. Come back later," Nangong Tuo firmly shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't worry about Zhao Feihong; after all, Zhao Feihong had once saved him from a stone wall. However, concern aside, Zhao Feihong did not weigh as heavily in his heart as Ouyang Zixin did, so he could not agree to disturb Ouyang Zixin's sleep just to search for Zhao Feihong.
"Are you being ridiculous? It's just sleeping! Can't you tell what's more important?" Zhao Feiyu was almost laughing out of anger. In the face of a life-and-death situation, he was actually worrying about whether Ouyang Zixin was getting enough sleep or sleeping well—what a joke!
"Did we not say yesterday that he is not in any danger?" Nangong Tuo felt somewhat guilty under Zhao Feiyu's glare. Indeed, sleeping was not a big deal compared to someone's safety; even if it meant staying awake, it should be done. But human hearts are biased; he just wanted Ouyang Zixin to sleep a little longer because he cared for her—was that wrong?
So it can be said that there are no absolute rights or wrongs in this world; it all depends on the perspective one stands from.
"Third Prince, I truly feel sorry for my brother. He spoke before me about how grateful you were after being rescued by him; now it seems you were just saying it for show. Step aside; I need to find Ouyang Zixin!" Saying this, Zhao Feiyu stepped forward to push Nangong Tuo aside and shouted loudly, "Ouyang Zixin! Ouyang Zixin! Can you hear me? Wake up quickly!"
Seeing her shouting and making a scene made Nangong Tuo anxious as he hurried forward to stop her. "Don't shout! Keep your voice down!"
"Enough! You are really loud," Ouyang Zixin said as she dug into her ears and walked out from behind the stone corridor with an expression of disdain at the two entangled people. "Can't you save some energy early in the morning?"
Seeing Ouyang Zixin coming over, Zhao Feiyu's face lit up with joy as she hurriedly said, "Great! You're awake. Come on, let's continue our search and find my brother quickly; it will reduce his danger."
Nangong Tuo, seeing that Ouyang Zixin was awake, no longer tried to stop Zhao Feiyu. Instead, he jumped over with a grin and asked Ouyang Zixin, "Why are you awake so early? Did you sleep well?"
"Third Prince!" Zhao Feiyu's nose crinkled in annoyance. Nangong Tuo really couldn't grasp the main point. She stepped forward, pushed him aside, and pulled Ouyang Zixin along, saying, "I know I shouldn't disturb you, but I'm really anxious. Even though you said my brother is not in life-threatening danger, but..."
"It's good that you know you're being noisy; just be more careful next time," Ouyang Zixin rolled her eyes. She shook off Zhao Feiyu's hand and said slowly, "Don't rush to look for him. You won't find him."
Zhao Feiyu was taken aback and quickly asked, "Why? Didn't you say we should search together yesterday?"
"We still need to look for the handprint, but as for your brother... let's forget it; searching would just be a waste of time." Ouyang Zixin raised her hand. Since she was awake now, she decided to gather everyone to continue with yesterday's mission. However, before she could take a few steps, she heard a loud "wow" from behind.
"Zhao Feiyu, can you stop crying at the drop of a hat?" It was early in the morning and already giving Ouyang Zixin a headache. She couldn't help but pinch her brow, feeling that maintaining a good mood early in the day and keeping it throughout was truly difficult.
Zhao Feiyu cried terribly but genuinely; it felt like she had lost a beloved family member. Her shoulders shook as she sobbed uncontrollably, unable to speak from the sadness.
Seeing this, Nangong Tuo also felt pity. After all, she was Zhao Feihong's sister and had saved them once; seeing her cry so heartbreakingly made him speak up: "Is there really no way to find him? Why don't we try again? Look at her; it's quite pitiful."
So men do understand how to cherish women in any situation. Although Nangong Tuo had previously stopped Zhao Feiyu from waking Ouyang Zixin, it wasn't out of malice; he simply had different priorities.
"What are we looking for? He's already gone; how can we find him? Why don't you go..." Ouyang Zixin hadn't finished speaking when Zhao Feiyu cried even louder. Suddenly feeling a throb at her temples, she raised her voice even more: "Crying won't help! Can you bring him back by crying?"
Nangong Tuo saw that Ouyang Zixin was firm in her stance and dared not say more. He could only silently sympathize with Zhao Feiyu while reminiscing about Zhao Feihong in his heart. He then walked over and patted Zhao Feiyu's shoulder, saying, "Take care of yourself. Once This Prince gets out of the Millennium Ruins..."
"I don't want that! I don't want that! Ouyang Zixin, you're a liar! You clearly said my brother is fine; how can you say today that he's gone..." Tears streamed down Zhao Feiyu's face as she complained about Ouyang Zixin lying to her. Although her brother's situation wasn't Ouyang Zixin's fault, lying was simply wrong.
"Seriously? I said he's gone? That he has something going on? You all are way too good at jumping to conclusions! I think it's you who hope he has something wrong!" Ouyang Zixin was truly exasperated with these two. Zhao Feiyu's concern was one thing, but adding an unclear-headed Nangong Tuo into the mix was another matter entirely. Were they sent by monkeys to entertain her? "What are you going to do once you get out of the Millennium Ruins? What do you mean by 'take care'? Are you going to give him a grand burial? Hmph! Forget it; he's not even dead; what are you burying?"
"You, what do you mean?" Zhao Feiyu stood frozen in place after hearing Ouyang Zixin's words.
"The literal meaning! If you don't understand, it's because your brain isn't working!" Ouyang Zixin had been woken up early and wasn't in the mood to be nice. Although she didn't intend to mislead them, she was too lazy to explain further. She dropped that remark and headed towards the center of the Underground Palace, where Yun Tianmo and the others should have arrived by now.
"Ouyang Zixin, don't go! Clarify what you mean!" Zhao Feiyu quickly wiped her eyes and chased after her. She realized she might have misunderstood something and needed to ask for clarification.
Seeing Ouyang Zixin walking away, Nangong Tuo also snapped back to reality and followed, calling out, "Ouyang Zixin, slow down! Be careful not to fall!"
Pfft.
Ouyang Zixin nearly spat out her drink upon hearing that. Was Nangong Tuo cursing her?
"Take it easy." Watching Zhao Feiyu rush towards her, Ouyang Zixin felt a deep sense of helplessness. "It's early in the morning; talk slowly like a sane person."
Zhao Feiyu swallowed hard, tears still glistening in her eyes as she looked at Ouyang Zixin with anticipation. "My brother isn't dead?"
"Yes."
"Then what you said about him not being here..."
Ouyang Zixin looked at her sympathetically and said, "Child, when you wake up early, your brain can lack oxygen. Don't shout; it lowers your IQ, understand?"
Zhao Feiyu nodded and then shook her head. "You still haven't answered me."
"Oh, that... Your brother is not here anymore. Hey, hold it together! If you cry, I won't say another word!" Ouyang Zixin quickly interrupted when she saw Zhao Feiyu about to cry again. She threatened her while stepping back a few paces, hands raised defensively in front of her chest to prevent any snot or tears from getting on her. "Um, don't cry; when I say your brother isn't here, I mean he's not in this Millennium Ruins."
Zhao Feiyu stopped crying at Ouyang Zixin's words. Her red nose twitched as she processed that Zhao Feihong was still alive but had simply left the Millennium Ruins. Still skeptical, she asked, "Are you trying to trick me again?" Her lips quivered as if she were about to cry again.
"I can't believe this, do you not understand human language? Your brother is alive and was sent out of the Millennium Ruins by the mechanisms. He is back in the Yuhai Continent now, and there are people guarding outside. What are you even worried about?" Ouyang Zixin really couldn't take it anymore and started to run. This Zhao Feiyu was simply impossible to communicate with.
"Are you sure?" Zhao Feiyu saw Ouyang Zixin running and followed closely behind her, asking, "Can I trust you?"
Ouyang Zixin wanted to say that she could believe whatever she wanted, but Zhao Feiyu's crying skills were truly terrifying. She quickly nodded, "I am someone you can trust."
Zhao Feiyu stared at Ouyang Zixin's profile, seemingly trying to determine whether what she said was true. After a while, she said, "I believe you. But were you trying to mislead me just now?"
"No!" This was something she absolutely could not admit, especially since she really hadn't misled her. She had just been woken up and was still groggy from the early morning, so her words weren't very clear. She definitely didn't mean to mislead Zhao Feiyu.
The two exchanged words and soon arrived at the center of the Underground Palace, where Nangong Tuo, who had been following them, also arrived.
Yun Tianmo and Yun Tianying seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. When they saw people arriving, they stopped their conversation.
"Zhao Feihong has gone out from the Millennium Ruins," Ouyang Zixin relayed the information that had appeared in her mind earlier. She had originally planned to tell Zhao Feiyu but ended up shedding a lot of tears because she was too anxious.
"How did you know?"
"It's a secret." Ouyang Zixin initially wanted to say Sixth Sense but felt Zhao Feiyu's gaze beside her and quickly changed her words. Some things were better kept mysterious to avoid trouble for herself. (To be continued.)
