Ouyang Zixin was stunned by Yun Tianmo's actions, her mind blank for about ten seconds before she finally reacted—what on earth was going on, here we go again?!
Yun Tianmo was quite pleased that Ouyang Zixin did not resist; it seemed she was gradually getting used to it, which was good. However, just as this thought crossed his mind, he realized he had misjudged the reaction of this Little Woman.
Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, Ouyang Zixin surprisingly opened her mouth, which brought him a moment of joy. Then, tragedy struck.
Ouyang Zixin bit down hard on his lips and forcefully pushed him away, taking three steps back and glaring at him fiercely. "You damn ice mountain, I warn you not to go too far! I... I am not that kind of casual person."
As she spoke, she felt a bit guilty because her bite had indeed been quite harsh. No matter how high Yun Tianmo's cultivation level was, who would set up defenses while kissing? Seeing him cover his mouth and remain unresponsive made her voice trail off.
"Hey, are you okay?" Ouyang Zixin hesitated, wondering if she should approach him. What if she really hurt him?
Yun Tianmo kept his head down; from Ouyang Zixin's perspective, she couldn't see his expression at all and thought he was angry. In reality, Yun Tianmo was stifling laughter. This experience of being bitten by a woman was quite rare; he not only didn’t feel pain but even found it somewhat stimulating. It turned out that not only were her lips sweet, but even after biting him, there lingered a pleasant aftertaste...
Fortunately for him, Ouyang Zixin had no idea about his thoughts; otherwise, she would definitely think that this Yun Tianmo was not just an ice mountain but also a pervert for not getting angry after being bitten and instead thinking about such nonsense.
What else could this be if not perverted?
"Nameless! Nameless!" Ouyang Zixin wanted to go over but hesitated. It wasn't exactly fear, but she felt it might be better not to approach him. What if he got angry? If the ice mountain erupted, that would be terrifying.
Wait a minute, why was she worried about him being angry? He had kissed her; shouldn’t she be the one who was upset?
Suddenly "enlightened," Ouyang Zixin straightened her back and boldly declared, "I tell you, you deserve it, hum."
With that said, Nameless floated back, looking at the two with confusion. Weren't they just fine a moment ago? Why did it suddenly feel tense? Well, actually, it was only around her master that she felt this way. And Yun Tianmo... why was he smiling again?
How many times had this happened in the Underground Palace? Nameless looked up at the ceiling; although there was no sky to see, it didn't stop him from expressing his melancholic feelings—indeed, the world had changed.
"We're leaving." Ouyang Zixin waved her hand at Nameless, indicating that she no longer wanted to deal with Yun Tianmo. This person was truly too much today. It had already happened twice without asking for her consent; how could he just...
"If he asked, would you agree?" Nameless accidentally "heard" Ouyang Zixin's thoughts. So that was how it was.
"Of course..." Ouyang Zixin paused when she said those two words, feeling as if there was a voice in her heart. It was a voice she had never noticed before, but it disappeared too quickly. "Of course not."
Watching the two walk away, Yun Tianmo's smile remained in his eyes. He lightly brushed his fingers over the small wound on his lips a few times and smirked to himself, "I will get it back."
---
"Run..." A hurried voice gasped for breath, sounding extremely exhausted.
Chaotic footsteps followed; there seemed to be more than one person. In the Tunnel, there wasn't a shred of light, making it impossible to see the path ahead. The two supported each other as they struggled to move forward.
At this moment, they could hardly be called running; the Mysterious Energy within them had been nearly depleted during the previous mechanism. Just when they thought they had successfully passed through, an inexplicable surge of force blew them into a Tunnel. Initially calm inside the Tunnel, they barely rested for a short while before hearing a rumbling sound coming from afar.
"It's a boulder rolling towards us." After carefully discerning the direction, the two began to desperately run in the opposite direction.
The boulder rolled faster and faster, and it was getting closer. The remaining Mysterious Energy could not support them for much longer. This Tunnel seemed to have no end in sight. Although the two appeared to be supporting each other through this ordeal, each had their own plans in mind.
They had only met recently; if it weren't for their initial intention to solve the mechanism together, they likely wouldn't have found themselves in this predicament.
The Crown Prince of the Dream Kingdom, Feng Chengxuan, glanced at Zhai Yiqi. This member of the Zhai Family, who was relatively unknown, surprisingly possessed skills that could rival his own. It was indeed remarkable; no wonder he was allowed in while Zhai Xingjian, the legitimate heir of the Zhai Family, was turned away.
However, if they continued to advance together, it was likely that neither would escape in the end. If he could get Zhai Yiqi to stay behind and block the boulder, perhaps he could escape.
“Crown Prince, don’t lose focus. If we don’t hurry, we’ll be done for,” Zhai Yiqi said as quietly as possible. At this moment, every bit of strength should not be wasted. Even without light in the Tunnel, he could still feel Feng Chengxuan’s gaze on him—a look that treated him like a chess piece, one that considered him expendable.
Feng Chengxuan panted heavily and dared not relax his pace. He knew he would eventually need to speak up, so it was better to decide quickly. He got straight to the point: “Zhai Yiqi, I promise that once we exit these Millennium Ruins, Dream Nation will not treat the Zhai Family poorly, as long as you can…”
He didn’t need to finish his sentence; Zhai Yiqi understood he was asking for a sacrifice to ensure his own survival.
Zhai Yiqi sneered inwardly. Indeed, those of royal blood were no different from those of legitimate lineage; they all believed themselves superior and thought others should endure for their existence and sacrifice themselves for them. If it weren’t for the peculiar ability of these Millennium Ruins to allow for choices, he might have been the one sacrificed.
If Feng Chengxuan's promise were heard by other members of the Zhai Family, they would undoubtedly agree immediately and be grateful. After all, people from Yuhai Continent had a strong sense of belonging to their families. Unfortunately, Zhai Yiqi did not consider himself one of them. He despised this inequality; the world should be born equal—no one owed anyone anything!
So why should he die instead of Feng Chengxuan?
(To be continued.)
