That night, Ouyang Zixin was truly exhausted. On one hand, her sensitivity had been overexerted, and on the other, her body was under too much strain.
Before long, she fell into a deep sleep.
In a daze, Ouyang Zixin seemed to hear someone calling her name, but she was so tired that she didn't want to wake up at all.
The calling sounded as if it were deliberately trying to disturb her, continuously ringing in her ears—
Ouyang Zixin, wake up...
"Who?"
Wake up, Ouyang Zixin, don’t sleep anymore...
"Stop bothering me, let me sleep a little longer."
You can't sleep anymore, wake up, Ouyang Zixin...
Wake up...
Wake up...
Buzz—her mind jolted painfully, causing Ouyang Zixin to suddenly awaken, rolling on the spot while holding her head.
Seeing this, Liu Ying and Liu Lu rushed over to help her up. She had been sleeping so well; how did it suddenly turn into this?
Ouyang Zixin was not fully awake. The excruciating pain in her mind nearly made her faint. She pressed her hands tightly against her temples as beads of sweat continued to emerge.
"Miss, Miss, what happened to you?" Liu Ying enclosed Ouyang Zixin between her arms, while Liu Lvy reached out to grab Ouyang Zixin's hands that were pressing against her temples.
"Miss, please wake up..." Liu Ying and Liu Lu were terrified at Ouyang Zixin's condition. They had barely escaped the dangers posed by the Mystical Beasts last night, and now, for no apparent reason, the Miss was in such agony.
"Ah!!!" Ouyang Zixin cried out uncontrollably, trembling all over, her face turning pale without a trace of color.
Without hesitation, Liu Lvy struck Ouyang Zixin to knock her unconscious.
"You..." Liu Ying was shocked; she hadn't expected Liu Lvy to actually knock the Miss out. This was a serious offense.
"This is solely my doing. If the Miss wakes up and wants to blame someone, let it be me alone," Liu Lvy said, feeling helpless. They were not far from where the Mystical Beasts had gathered last night. Not only was it unbearable to see the Miss in such pain, but her cries could also attract danger.
Aside from knocking the Miss out, Liu Lvy couldn't think of any other solution.
Little did Liu Lvy know that her seemingly helpful action to relieve Ouyang Zixin's suffering would bring deadly danger upon the three of them once again.
Just as Ouyang Zixin lost consciousness, the ground beneath them suddenly shook violently. Liu Ying and Liu Lu were startled; everything had been fine last night, so how could it turn into this scene now?
They dared not delay and quickly lifted Ouyang Zixin away from the high ground, one on each side. Behind them, the high ground collapsed, forming a massive pit in the ground.
"Buzz..."
A buzzing sound suddenly filled Ouyang Zixin's mind. She could sense the changes happening outside but was unable to wake up and alert Liu Ying and Liu Lu.
Damn it.
Someone was approaching. Were they friend or foe?
Liu Ying and Liu Lu had trained their sensing abilities quite well, but they were still far from being on par with Ouyang Zixin. By the time the two sensed someone approaching quickly and wanted to leave, it was already too late.
"Hey, Ouyang Zixin." The newcomer quickly caught up to Liu Ying and Liu Lu, and upon seeing the person they were supporting was Ouyang Zixin, they exclaimed in surprise.
"Third Prince." Liu Ying and Liu Lu were somewhat puzzled to see that the newcomer was Nangong Tuo. They hadn't heard of any royal family members participating in this training expedition.
Nangong Tuo? Why is he here? Ouyang Zixin thought, as he was one of the last people she wanted to encounter at that moment.
"What happened to Ouyang Zixin? Is she injured?" Nangong Tuo had several guards with him, each looking like a skilled fighter. They were all watching the three women warily.
"Reporting to Third Prince, our young lady encountered danger last night. It could be due to mysterious forces or excessive fatigue, so she fainted temporarily but is not seriously harmed." Liu Ying almost let slip that not many knew about Ouyang Zixin's ability to cultivate Mysterious Energy.
"Encountered danger?" Nangong Tuo was taken aback and quickly signaled his guards to take out some pills. "I have some excellent pills here; quickly give them to Ouyang Zixin. Then tell me how she ended up in danger."
Liu Ying hesitated about whether to accept the pills. Although the Third Prince was unlikely to harm their young lady, they were not familiar with him. Seeing Liu Ying hesitate, Liu Lvy guessed what she was thinking. Supporting Ouyang Zixin with one hand, she reached out with the other to take the pills and thanked Nangong Tuo.
"Are you foolish? Why hesitate at a time like this? If the Third Prince wanted to harm our young lady, he wouldn't offer us pills. We are no match for them anyway," Liu Lvy whispered to Liu Ying while feeding Ouyang Zixin the medicine, turning her back to Nangong Tuo and his guards.
This pill...
Ouyang Zixin tasted the fragrant medicine and felt that its flavor was familiar, but her mind was still in pain, making it hard for her to recall. She only knew that this pill would benefit her without any harm, so she didn't resist. Her body soon began absorbing the medicinal properties, which flowed through her meridians and eventually converged in her mind.
Nangong Tuo relentlessly pressed Ouyang Zixin for details on how she encountered danger and ultimately learned about the incident from Liu Ying and Liu Lu.
"What a Zhao Manor! What a Situ Manor! This Prince had no idea they raised such malicious daughters. Once I return to the palace..." Nangong Tuo looked at Ouyang Zixin's pale face, feeling heartbroken. Those two reckless women dared to lay hands on the woman he admired; it was simply unforgivable.
"Cough cough, what will happen once Third Prince returns to the palace?" Ouyang Zixin's eyes remained tightly closed, but she could now speak. She didn't want to get involved in what Nangong Tuo planned, but if this matter escalated into a conflict between women that reached the Sovereign's ears, it would undoubtedly be embarrassing for Ouyang Zixin herself.
"Ouyang Zixin, you are awake." Nangong Tuo, seeing Ouyang Zixin speak, completely forgot about his grand ambitions after returning to the palace and asked with concern.
"Thank you, Third Prince, for the medicine. I feel much better." With Liu Ying's help, Ouyang Zixin sat up. Although her smile was forced, she still managed to give Nangong Tuo a smile.
"What are you being so polite with me for? I..."
"Third Prince, I still feel quite fatigued. If you don't mind, I would like to rest a little longer." Ouyang Zixin interrupted Nangong Tuo and waved for Liu Lvy to come over and assist her.
Ouyang Zixin did not want to stay with Nangong Tuo; the trouble this troublesome peach blossom had already brought her was enough. If there were any further interactions, she feared it would become overwhelming in the future.
Liu Ying and Liu Lvy bowed slightly to Nangong Tuo and then helped Ouyang Zixin leave.
"Ouyang..." Nangong Tuo's hand, which wanted to hold Ouyang Zixin back, stopped in mid-air as he watched her retreating figure, feeling bitter inside.
Do you really dislike me this much?
