“You, you are not human.” Ouyang Zixin took a step back and covered her chest with one hand. This shock really frightened her. Since entering the secret realm and separated from Yun Tianmo and Nangong Tuo (actually Ning Zhiyuan), all Ouyang Zixin has seen besides plants is Mystical Beast. I never thought that I would encounter it. A... thing that seems to be human, but is not human. This makes Ouyang Zixin not frightened. "Miss Ouyang's so-called people, do you mean the same existence as you?" Nameless seems to be equally puzzled by Ouyang Zixin's suspicion. "Have you ever seen your own face?" Ouyang Zixin asked. Nameless shakes his head, why do you want to look at your own face? "Nameless has been here since he can remember, as if he is a part of this space. As for what Miss Ouyang said, people, Nameless doesn't know if he is." Nameless sighed and looked at The sky is rippling like an Azure Wave. Nameless, he has no facial features. "You have no eyes, ears, mouth and nose. How can you see? How can you hear? And how do you speak?" I have seen this kind of face without facial features on TV before. Those are the looks of monsters and monsters. . Could it be that this Nameless is a ghost?
"What's born naturally has nothing to do with one's features?" Nameless never felt different, even after meeting Ouyang Zixin, he still did not think he was any different.
"..." Yes, features are merely what everyone possesses; that's the modern definition of whether a person is normal, right? Even if someone is born with deficiencies in their features, they are still a person, just labeled as disabled or lacking something.
In this cultivable Yuhai Continent, perhaps an existence like Nameless is not so strange after all. He can see, hear, and speak; as for whether he has features, what does it matter?
Ouyang Zixin silently reassured herself that no matter what, Nameless had not harmed her, nor had he ever shown any intention to harm her. Why should she be fixated on whether he has features?
"I'm sorry; I overreacted. Well, having or not having features really doesn't matter." Ouyang Zixin apologized readily; he was taking care of her and finding food and drink for her while she...
"But..."
"But? What do you mean?" Ouyang Zixin lowered her guard and relaxed, gently stroking the leaves of the Azure Wood as she asked.
"Nameless doesn't remember who told him this, but if one day someone can meet Nameless in this form without any prejudice and accept him, that will be the day Nameless can leave here." The features replaced by Azure Wave flowed slowly and calmly, quite unlike Ouyang Zixin's excitement upon hearing this.
"You mean you can leave here with me?" That person—wasn't the person Nameless referred to herself?
Thinking back to how scared she had been just moments ago as if she had seen a ghost, and then looking at Nameless's calm demeanor, Ouyang Zixin wished she could dig a hole and hide in it.
"Hehe, it must be Miss Ouyang." Nameless nodded and continued, "Yesterday Miss Ouyang did not see Nameless clearly but already expressed that 'appearance is not the point.' Today, Miss Ouyang sees Nameless clearly yet still accepts him. Isn't that exactly the person Nameless has been waiting for?"
"Uh... I-I wasn't accepting it calmly." Ouyang Zixin's hand froze on the leaves, feeling even more guilty.
The two fell silent for a moment, and Ouyang Zixin forgot about wanting to pick the colorful leaves.
"Miss Ouyang, are you willing to take Nameless with you?"
Oh my, why does that sound so awkward? It feels like they are planning to elope. (Miss Ouyang, you are overthinking it; just look at Nameless, how straightforward he is.)
"Nameless, of course I am willing, but I don't even know how to get out of this place." Having been in this secret realm for over twenty years, aside from improving her cultivation, Ouyang Zixin truly had no idea when it would come to an end.
If she couldn't even get out herself, how could she talk about taking Nameless with her?
"It’s fine; when the time comes, we will naturally be able to leave." Nameless spoke mysteriously and then lightly turned around, heading toward the top of the slope.
Just as Ouyang Zixin wanted to call out to him and ask about picking the leaves, Nameless's voice floated back to her. "Miss Ouyang, don’t be anxious; when the time comes, this Azure Wood will also leave with you."
Huh?
Ouyang Zixin's mouth fell open slightly. Did she hear that right? He can take the Azure Wood with him?
Haha, is there really such a good thing?
Ouyang Zixin felt both confused and amused. Although she didn't quite understand the magical properties of the Azure Wood, it certainly looked like a treasure.
"Wait, Nameless! Hey, wait for me! How do you take the Azure Wood out?" Ouyang Zixin counted; there were six Azure Woods in total. It would be great if they could be taken out, but how would that work?
Nameless naturally did not tell Ouyang Zixin how the Azure Wood could be taken out, just as he did not inform her when or how they could leave this place.
After some time passed, Ouyang Zixin wandered leisurely in this mysterious Peach Blossom Spring without needing to fight any Mystical Beasts. Each day was spent meditating and idly strolling around.
It is strange that this Peach Blossom Spring, though not large, seems to keep Ouyang Zixin from ever leaving its green confines no matter how much she wanders.
"Nameless, you disappear for a while every day. Where do you go?" One day, after wandering around, Ouyang Zixin happened to run into Nameless and hurriedly asked.
"Miss Ouyang is very curious?" After filling two teacups, Nameless chuckled lightly and said, "Since Miss Ouyang is curious, why not join me tomorrow?"
"Sure." The tea here was unlike anything from the Yuhai Continent or what Ouyang Zixin had drunk in her past life.
Ouyang Zixin took a sip and smacked her lips in delight, praising, "Nameless, this tea is really good. Where did it come from?"
"Tea? I just picked some leaves from the Azure Wood and tossed them into the stream. Is this what you call tea?" Nameless had never drunk tea before; this method was something he had casually come up with.
"Azure Wood? Great! Then I can have more in the future." Ouyang Zixin smiled widely, feeling fortunate to have encountered so many good things at once.
Nameless shook his head lightly at her words and said no more.
The next day, Nameless led Ouyang Zixin down the Hillock, walking slowly along the stream.
They went around in circles until Ouyang Zixin was nearly impatient when Nameless finally said it was about time.
As they passed the spot where the Azure Wood grew for the thirty-sixth time, something changed in Nameless.
