In the mind of Ouyang Zixin, Yun Tianmo did not stay for long. Based on what he observed, Ouyang Zixin's scream was likely a manifestation of her subconscious from the entity within her mind.
It was as if she had fallen into a coma, and that small manifestation stubbornly expressed her dissatisfaction.
After stepping out, Yun Tianmo exhaled and gently laid Ouyang Zixin down on the ground.
"She's fine; let her rest."
——————————————————————————————
Looking at Ouyang Zixin's sleeping figure, for some reason, Yun Tianmo recalled everything that had happened before.
This stubborn girl would never admit defeat to anyone, even to herself, showing such ruthlessness.
The night breeze blew gently, and the top of the slope was silent. Exhausted from conquering this place, Liu Ying and Liu Lu could no longer hold on and leaned to the side to rest.
"Cloud Young Master." The ethereal voice of Nameless echoed in the air. He did not need rest unless his mysterious energy was excessively depleted.
Yun Tianmo paused, retracting his gaze from Ouyang Zixin and nodding slightly to indicate he heard.
"Could Cloud Young Master enlighten Nameless?" Although Nameless protected Ouyang Zixin's mind when they reached the top of the slope, only Yun Tianmo truly entered.
What exactly did Yun Tianmo see in Ouyang Zixin's mind?
"This girl has an incredibly resilient heart." In truth, Yun Tianmo had long known that Ouyang Zixin was different from other noble girls, but he couldn't help but praise her at this moment.
"What does Cloud Young Master mean..." Nameless naturally understood Ouyang Zixin's resilience, having accompanied her closely during the final moments after the secret realm.
At that time, in order to practice controlling Nameless's mysterious energy, Ouyang Zixin failed time and again but persisted until she could finally summon Nameless's mysterious energy. Unfortunately, since leaving the secret realm, Ouyang Zixin had concealed her cultivation level and nearly stopped practicing except for meditation.
"Master will thank you, Cloud Young Master." Nameless sighed lightly and fell silent.
The night deepened once more into silence.

“Third Prince, would you like some water?” Sito Rongyan blushed, holding a Water Bag in both hands and presenting it to Nangong Tuo.
Since the day they parted ways, Nangong Tuo had wanted to catch up, but Sito Rongyan kept slowing them down, making it impossible for the group to pick up speed.
In the end, they lost track of the others.
Hearing Sito Rongyan's shy voice made Nangong Tuo feel extremely irritated. This woman was incredibly difficult to deal with. No matter how he treated her poorly or ignored her, she refused to leave and stubbornly followed him.
The guards that Sito Rongyan brought sat far away by another campfire, watching their lady cling to the Third Prince with expressions of displeasure.
“This Prince doesn’t need it,” Nangong Tuo replied curtly, not even glancing at Sito Rongyan as he rejected her offer.
Sito Rongyan seemed unfazed, as if she couldn’t hear the annoyance in his tone. She continued to smile brightly and said, “Third Prince, we’ve been traveling all day; you should drink some water.”
With a sudden movement, Nangong Tuo stood up, his face filled with disgust. “Traveling? How can you even say that? At this speed, can we call it traveling?”
It was all Sito Rongyan's fault; otherwise, they might have caught up with Ouyang Zixin by now.
Nangong Tuo blamed all the responsibility for losing track of their target on Sito Rongyan and felt resentful, which only worsened his attitude towards her.
Sito Rongyan's expression darkened as she bit her red lips tightly, lowering her head to hide the hatred in her eyes from Nangong Tuo. Her resentment towards Ouyang Zixin deepened further.
Traveling? It was all because of that Demoness Ouyang Zixin. Sito Rongyan knew exactly why Nangong Tuo was so eager to hurry; it was all to chase after Ouyang Zixin.
“Ouyang Zixin, you shameless woman! With your seductive tricks, how dare you go after the Third Prince? Hmph! I won’t let the Third Prince pursue you!” Sito Rongyan thought fiercely. As long as she kept following Nangong Tuo, she could create opportunities to draw closer to him and hinder his pursuit of Ouyang Zixin.
So no matter how Nangong Tuo treated her, she had to endure it.
Raising her head again, Sito Rongyan put on a tearful expression, tears welling in her eyes as she said pitifully, “Third Prince, are you blaming Rong Yan?”
Nangong Tuo snorted coldly without answering and turned to leave.
Seeing Nangong Tuo about to leave, Sito Rongyan anxiously stood up to grab him, but for some reason, she only caught the hem of his garment that fluttered as he turned. She continued, "Third Prince, where are you going? Please don't leave Rong Yan behind. I promise I won't slow you down anymore."
After saying this, she held tightly onto Nangong Tuo's garment, refusing to let go. Her frail shoulders trembled slightly, and she occasionally sniffled, looking so pitiful that if any other noble young men from the capital saw her, they would likely rush over to protect her.
However, she had chosen the wrong target; Nangong Tuo had his back to her and could not see her actions. Even if he did see, it was likely that Nangong Takuya would remain unmoved, as in his heart, Sito Rongyan had never existed.
"Third Prince..." Sito Rongyan's voice choked as she reluctantly spoke the only reason that could keep Nangong Tuo from leaving. "Even if you don't want to take Rong Yan with you, please think of Ouyang Zixin."
Sure enough, upon hearing Ouyang Zixin's name, Nangong Tuo's body stiffened for a moment.
Seeing this reaction, Sito Rongyan knew her tactic was effective. She stood up and moved in front of Nangong Tuo, timidly saying, "Rong Yan knows she has caused trouble for you. Just take me with you. Once we catch up with Ouyang Zixin, I will explain everything to her..."
"You said you would explain to her..." Nangong Tuo's eyes lit up at her words as he involuntarily grasped Sito Rongyan's arms. "You really..."
Sito Rongyan was startled by Nangong Tuo's sudden excitement. Although her arms were being gripped painfully, she felt a sense of joy; this was the first time Nangong Tuo had taken the initiative to touch her.
Lowering her head and thinking for a moment, Sito Rongyan finally nodded and handed the Water Bag back to Nangong Tuo. "Third Prince, I don't want to annoy you. Please drink some water and rest well; I will keep my word."
Upon hearing that Sito Rongyan was willing to explain herself, Nangong Tuo felt elated. As long as she clarified that there was no relationship between them, Ouyang Zixin would not misunderstand him. He still had a chance!
Nangong Tuo took the Water Bag and gulped down several large mouthfuls but failed to notice Sito Rongyan's expression darkening instantly...
