With a soft thud, under Ouyang Zixin's urging, Nameless opened the Small Stone Box. Its weight had increased significantly, and even after opening it, Nameless struggled to lift the lid. Seeing Ouyang Zixin in such a weak state, Nameless deliberately positioned the opening of the box to face her so she could see the images appearing on the Mirror Guardian.
As the Small Stone Box opened, a warm yellow light spilled out, enveloping Ouyang Zixin. Nameless was initially startled and was about to rise to shield her but soon realized that the warm yellow light seemed to have no harmful effects on Ouyang Zixin; instead, it revitalized her appearance almost instantly.
Could it be that the Mirror Guardian's restorative abilities were becoming more powerful?
"It's him," Ouyang Zixin said, licking her cracked lips. Her eyes squinted painfully as she struggled to focus on the image appearing on the Mirror Guardian. After uttering those two words, she seemed to lose strength again and leaned heavily against the Mystic Monkey Totem.
Nameless quickly took out Azure Leaf Tea but didn't dare to force it on her; instead, he gently moistened her lips and expressed his concern, "Why does your complexion look much better, but you seem even weaker?"
Ouyang Zixin shook her head slightly, raising her hand with fingers spread wide towards the front, allowing the warm yellow light to filter through her fingers. One of her fingers blocked a figure on the Mirror Guardian. "Did I see it wrong?"
Nameless, who had been busy trying to feed her water, noticed she refused to drink any more and set down the Azure Leaf Tea. He turned to look at the Mirror Guardian, wondering what Ouyang Zixin meant by "him" and what she thought she might have seen incorrectly.
"This..." As soon as Nameless turned his head, he was stunned by the figure he saw on the Mirror Guardian. Wasn't that Cloud Young Master? Why was he so close to Baike? Didn't he have feelings for the master?
No wonder Ouyang Zixin, who had shown signs of improvement, suddenly appeared weak again; it must have been because she saw those two being so intimate on the Mirror Guardian. The warm yellow light illuminated them all; even Nameless felt warm and comfortable. How much more so for the weakened Ouyang Zixin? Such an effective light that could help restore Mysterious Energy and physical strength had completely failed to work on Ouyang Zixin. This realization filled Nameless with a bad premonition.
Slightly shifting his body, Nameless pretended to reach out to support Ouyang Zixin while actually blocking the image on the Mirror Guardian with his body. He felt a chill at just seeing it himself; if Ouyang Zixin continued to look at it, who knew what might happen? It was crucial not to stimulate her at this moment. She needed to rest well. Nameless smiled softly and said, "Master, please rest for a while."
"So, I wasn't mistaken, right?" Ouyang Zixin put her hands down; she no longer needed to block it, as Nameless had already covered the entire scene for her. But why did she still want to see him? She just needed to remove the other figure.
Nameless felt a pang of sympathy. He had never seen Ouyang Zixin like this, but he could guess what it meant. This was what it meant to be hurt by love. Watching Ouyang Zixin's forced smile made his heart ache; although this little master was not particularly reliable, she had always treated him sincerely well. Now seeing her like this made Nameless feel a bit teary.
"Fool."
Ouyang Zixin slowly closed her eyes. She didn't know if she was calling herself a fool or mocking Nameless. Her trembling eyelashes cast a shadow on her eyelids, and her pale face appeared waxy under the warm yellow light. Her cracked lips were tightly pressed together, making it obvious that she was enduring something.
Nameless wanted to say something more, but he heard Ouyang Zixin ask him to keep his distance for now; she wanted to be alone in silence.
In truth, Ouyang Zixin knew that no matter where Nameless went, their connection could not be severed; her sadness could not be hidden. Yet, she didn't want Nameless to see her in such a useless state. Just seeing Yun Tianmo with Baike made her feel this sad—when did she start caring for Yun Tianmo so deeply?
To avoid making Ouyang Zixin upset, Nameless stood up and reached for the Small Stone Box to close it, but Ouyang Zixin stopped him, allowing it to remain open. As for the scene on the Mirror Guardian, it was silent anyway; whether she looked or not depended on whether she chose to open her eyes.
After sensing Nameless's departure, Ouyang Zixin's long eyelashes fluttered lightly. Her beautiful eyes slowly opened, and it took a while for her somewhat dazed gaze to focus. She first looked up at the top of the Underground Palace; it was just a gray stone ceiling with nothing else. Yet now, in her eyes, it somehow felt relaxing.
The Mirror Guardian was right in front of her; the person in the scene was someone she had recently been reluctant to let go of. But every glance felt like a sharp knife stabbing at her heart.
"Why?" Ouyang Zixin asked herself. Why was he with Baike and so close?
Even if he said he was looking for Yun Tianying, and Yun Tianying had once been with Baike, what was happening now? Where was Yun Tianying? Why was only Baike with him?
She remembered feeling that Yun Tianmo's emotions toward Baike at Lingchi Peak were definitely not fondness; they were likely hostile instead. He had also explicitly stated that he had no good feelings toward the Bai Clan of Dream Nation and would probably want to take revenge on those from the Bai Clan who had wronged him if given the chance.
Since that is the case, then why? Why did she see Yun Tianmo gazing affectionately at Baike in Mirror Guardian, and then kiss her?
Tears soaked her eyelashes, a small warm tear slid down her cheek, and with a soft plop, it fell to the ground, splattering into the shape of a small flower. At the sound of the tear hitting the ground, Ouyang Zixin came back to her senses, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and even reddened her nose. "Don't cry!"
Nameless was actually hiding not far away, watching Ouyang Zixin's sorrowful tears. His fists were tightly clenched; he never expected that Cloud Young Master could hurt his master so deeply. Although his master was clearly very sad and upset, that gaze still occasionally darted towards Mirror Guardian...
"Master..." (To be continued.)
