Isn't this art style a bit too... much?
Nameless stood there in a daze. In his understanding, this scene seemed to represent the so-called "exchange between men and women." But isn't it supposed to be non-intimate? This is intimate?!
“Yun Tianmo!”
The roar of Nangong Tuo immediately startled everyone in the cave awake, even Yun Tianmo was slightly taken aback by the shout.
Looking at Ouyang Zixin, whose complexion had turned slightly rosy, Yun Tianmo was shocked that he had actually become infatuated, just from feeding her a sip of water. Had he really exposed the emotions he was most unwilling to show?
Yun Tianmo lifted his eyelids, feeling a bit angry. Regardless of whether his emotions were exposed or not, being interrupted was always unpleasant. Meanwhile, Nameless seemed to understand and nodded, reaching out to take Ouyang Zixin from Yun Tianmo's arms.
Since Yun Tianmo had been holding Ouyang Zixin with his back facing the cave entrance, only Nameless and Ancient Mystic Beast had seen him feeding her with his mouth. As for the dazed Sito Rongyan, he could be completely ignored.
The reason Nangong Tuo roared as soon as he stepped into the cave was simply that he had been kept outside for too long. Upon entering, he saw Yun Tianmo half-squatting while holding a woman. Even though he could only see the lower half of her body, it was obvious that it could only be Ouyang Zixin.
“You, you... how can you!” Nangong Tuo looked at Yun Tianmo, who was slowly getting up and turning to face him, momentarily at a loss for words to express his feelings.
Liu Ying and Liu Lu, who had originally stayed outside to block Nangong Tuo, followed him into the cave. Seeing Ouyang Zixin unconscious in Nameless's arms, they hurriedly approached to ask what had happened, completely disregarding the other people in the cave.
Ning Zhiyuan was the last to enter the cave. Hearing Nangong Tuo's roar, he took a closer look inside. His calm expression grew serious upon seeing the fainted Ouyang Zixin. However, he did not step forward immediately; instead, he suppressed his concern and stood aside, silently observing.
Shaking off the dust from his outer robe, Yun Tianmo curled his lips into a cold smile and said, “What’s wrong with me?”
Although Nangong Tuo was the Third Prince of the Exiled Nation, and usually Yun Tianmo would give him some face, being publicly accused like this was something that Nangong Tuo did not deserve!
From being controlled by Yun Tianmo a few days ago to finally being able to act alongside Ouyang Zixin tonight, only to have it ruined again by Yun Tianmo, an infuriated Nangong Tuo completely failed to notice how dangerous Yun Tianmo's smile truly was at that moment.
He continued to shout recklessly, "Ouyang Zixin is injured. What right do you have to stop me from entering? How come you can go in? Could it be that you..."
The more he spoke, the worse Nangong Tuo felt inside. He still remembered when they were in the Capital of the Departed Nation. Nangong Takuya had sensed that Yun Tianmo treated Ouyang Zixin differently, but later dismissed that suspicion. However, looking back now...
"Third Prince, please stop," the guard could no longer bear it and hurriedly intervened.
The Third Prince usually behaved like a mouse in front of the Ink King. If he offended the Ink King out of a moment's anger, life would become difficult for him afterward.
"What are you shouting about?" The Ancient Mystic Beast could not tolerate human noise. The few people who had entered were relatively quiet, but this Third Prince was making a racket.
Yun Tianmo, who had been standing with his hands behind his back facing the cave entrance, was about to explode. Hearing the Ancient Mystic Beast speak, he simply turned away from Nangong Tuo and walked deeper into the cave.
"Who?! Who dares to be disrespectful to This Prince?!" Nangong Tuo had not even noticed that there was a Mystical Beast inside the cave. The sudden old voice was so rude that it provided him with an outlet for his frustration.
Hmph, unable to vent his anger on Yun Tianmo, he thought, what does he have to fear from an old man?
Ning Zhiyuan saw Yun Tianmo walk deeper into the cave, just as he shielded Ouyang Zixin and the others behind him. His serious expression made Ning Zhiyuan feel as if he did not recognize him.
"Have you protected her to this extent?" Initially setting a trap by using two women who had sought trouble with Ouyang Zixin as bait, he had suspected Yun Tianmo's feelings for Ouyang Zixin back then. Now it seemed he was right.
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, if it weren't for Nangong Tuo being here, Ning Zhiyuan wouldn't feel so restrained; he couldn't even step forward to protect Ouyang Zixin.
"Prince? Hahaha, in my eyes, I have never seen any prince. Today you dare to shout in my territory; what is it? Are you tired of living?" The Ancient Mystic Beast's aged yet authoritative voice rang out again. However, since it was facing away from the cave entrance, Nangong Tuo did not realize that it was a Mystical Beast speaking.
"Stop pretending! Yun Tianmo, is that you?" The furious Nangong Tuo once again found himself in a pitiful situation; not only did he fail to grasp the truth, but he also wrongfully accused Yun Tianmo.
Yun Tianmo ignored Nangong Tuo's words because he had already sensed the emotional shift of the Ancient Mystic Beast. Since Nangong Tuo was digging his own grave, he might as well let him be.
Sure enough, while the Ancient Mystic Beast appeared quite "gentle" towards Ouyang Zixin, that did not mean it treated everyone that way. The dignity of a High-Level Mystic Beast could not be infringed upon; for many years now, no human or even other High-Level Mystic Beasts dared to make such noise in front of it.
As it was tormenting Sito Rongyan earlier, it was interrupted by Ouyang Zixin, and the anger in its heart had not yet been fully vented. This blind Third Prince was just the perfect target for its frustration.
The guards were pulling Nangong Tuo from both sides, but he refused to listen to their advice, cursing non-stop.
“It's noisy…”
At that moment, a very faint voice came out. Yun Tianmo's fingers, which were resting behind his back, moved slightly as his gaze swept past Ouyang Zixin beside him.
He woke up quickly.
With Yun Tianmo distracted, the Ancient Mystic Beast had already made its move.
A gust of wind shot out from above its head, the sound of air being torn apart was extremely piercing. The Ancient Mystic Beast, which had never turned around, seemed to have eyes on its back as it accurately directed the gust of wind towards the shouting Nangong Tuo.
“Little Girl, think it's noisy? I'll help you.” The Ancient Mystic Beast twisted its neck and turned its somewhat plump head towards Ouyang Zixin. Seeing that she was still unconscious, it frowned at her forehead. “Still not awake after so long? Humans are truly fragile.”
The Ancient Mystic Beast showed no mercy towards Nangong Tuo. The raging wind swept through without disturbing any other objects or people along its path; even Ning Zhiyuan, who stood not far from Nangong Tuo, was unaffected. Only Nangong Tuo and his nearby guards were caught up in the wind and flew into the air. (To be continued.)
