Ouyang Zixin momentarily couldn't believe that Yun Tianmo would use her earlier words to tease her, and her mind went blank in an instant.
Yun Tianmo continued to hold Ouyang Zixin's hand and walked forward, seemingly indifferent to the reactions of the little person behind him, though his slightly mischievous smile suggested otherwise. This Little Woman had never taken the initiative with him; even when expressing emotions, she resorted to the most extreme methods, almost wanting to fight to the death with someone, yet her words remained stubbornly unyielding. Now that he had caught her in a slip of the tongue, how could he let her off easily? Naturally, he intended to tease her thoroughly, teaching her how to express her feelings properly.
However... was it really appropriate for a taciturn ice-cold handsome guy to teach someone how to "express emotions"?
"Stop, I'm not going any further." Ouyang Zixin mechanically followed Yun Tianmo for a while before realizing that this person was maliciously stirring up her feelings. He appeared completely unfazed by it all. Frustrated and grinding her teeth in anger, she finally decided to stop; everywhere looked the same in this vast expanse of white.
The white color corresponds to metal in the five elements.
But here, there was nothing but this white gravel, lacking any metallic properties. Gravel should belong to the earth category as well, though it was unclear if it fell into a lower grade.
If that were the case, then this place should still belong to the "earth" category, meaning she could manipulate it using the power from the Xuan Snake Totem.
Seeing that Ouyang Zixin had returned to normal and was no longer entangled in his teasing, Yun Tianmo looked seriously at the gravel on the ground while unconsciously rubbing the surface of the Small Stone Box with his hand.
"I'm afraid we haven't completely escaped Beautiful Scenery Without Form," Yun Tianmo said as he prepared to examine their surroundings again. Suddenly, he heard Ouyang Zixin speak in a heavy tone. "I suspect that if we had truly left Beautiful Scenery Without Form, there should be materials with attributes other than earth here. But all I see is gravel..."
In other words, this place might still be part of Beautiful Scenery Without Form.
"I want to try and see if I can get them both out," Ouyang Zixin said as she opened the Small Stone Box. The Mirror Guardian clearly showed Yun Tianying and Zhao Feiyu still standing in place, and judging by their gestures, there seemed to be no changes in Beautiful Scenery Without Form. This meant that nothing new would be discovered inside.
Yun Tianmo wasn't sure how confident Ouyang Zixin was, but he didn't plan to ask. After all, if she could pull someone out from a pile of earth once, doing it again shouldn't be too difficult. So he readily nodded in agreement without a hint of worry.
His unwavering trust in her made Ouyang Zixin feel somewhat insecure; after all, this was a different space. There was a fundamental difference between digging someone out from dirt and this situation. Shouldn't he show some concern? One of those two was his Sibling!
"Are you not worried at all?" Ouyang Zixin truly found it hard to understand the man before her. He had been so concerned about Yun Tianying back in the Underground Palace, yet now he seemed completely indifferent.
Yun Tianmo casually draped his robe and sat down cross-legged without even glancing at Ouyang Zixin. His tone was calm, "If we die, we die together. What is there to worry about?"
Oh wow! This Yun Tianmo. How come she never realized he could be so callous? He just kept going on about one thing...
Ouyang Zixin shot him a glare, thinking that since he wasn't worried, she didn't have any familial ties to these two either. If something were to happen, she wouldn't feel anything. It was better to act quickly; this seemingly barren stretch of sand probably wasn't as harmless as it appeared. Having an extra hand would be beneficial.
The method was still the same, and Ouyang Zixin was quite familiar with it by now. However, she felt a bit strained during the spatial transition. Although it seemed easy to bring Yun Tianmo out earlier, it had actually consumed a significant amount of her Mysterious Energy.
By the time Yun Tianying and Zhao Feiyu were brought out, night had already fallen. Unbeknownst to her, an entire day had passed.
"There's actually a cycle of day and night here?" Yun Tianying sat cross-legged like Yun Tianmo, holding the rations Ouyang Zixin had brought. This was the first time he had seen night fall since entering the Millennium Ruins, so it was no wonder he was surprised.
Zhao Feiyu, being a woman, was extremely hungry after a day and night without food. Hearing Yun Tianying's words, she finally looked up at the sky and sighed, "I finally feel like I'm alive."
Several times, she thought she would surely die in these Millennium Ruins. But now she not only had companions but also food to eat and exquisite tea to drink—something she had never tasted before. Each sip felt like it replenished her strength. How could she not feel emotional?
Ouyang Zixin, thank you.
Ouyang Zixin was busy pouring herself some Azure Leaf Tea when she suddenly felt a scorching gaze sweep over her from behind, causing her to turn around abruptly. However, Yun Tianmo was engaged in conversation with Yun Tianying, and Zhao Feiyu was focused on eating. Who could possibly be looking at her? Was it just her imagination?
Feeling puzzled, Ouyang Zixin turned back around. She thought she was being a bit masochistic; here she was playing the role of a caretaker, serving them food and drink...
Here it comes again!
This time Ouyang Zixin did not turn around immediately. She tried to relax her body, which had become somewhat stiff due to instinctive wariness, contemplating that when the person watching her let their guard down, she would catch them in the act.
For example—
Now!
"Ugh... Why are you staring at me?" Ouyang Zixin originally thought that such a burning gaze would belong to Yun Tianmo or someone like that. She never expected that the person caught in the act was Zhao Feiyu. The thought of being stared at so intensely by another woman made her feel uncomfortable all over.
Zhao Feiyu, taken by surprise when Ouyang Zixin suddenly turned to look at her, choked on a piece of dry food. She pounded her chest for a while before finally catching her breath, grabbing a cup of tea and gulping it down, forgetting all about her noble lady image.
"Are you trying to scare me to death? Why did you suddenly look over?"
Ouyang Zixin found Zhao Feiyu's accusatory expression somewhat amusing and replied irritably, "How would you know I suddenly looked at you if you weren't looking at me?"
"..."
Yun Tianmo and Yun Tianying turned their heads upon hearing the commotion. Seeing that nothing was wrong between the two, they continued to discuss something quietly.
Ouyang Zixin was just about to get up and interrogate Zhao Feiyu about why she was staring at her when the Small Stone Box in her arms began to stir—
Thud, thud, thud... (To be continued.)
P.S.: Many people have started to criticize the low status of women due to the incident where a woman was dragged in a hotel, and the public pressure is quite significant. Kouxin remembers reading a report before that said a man raped a woman, but because she resisted fiercely, he ended up injuring himself and then sued her. The man won the case... which implies that when I rape you, you need to cooperate; otherwise, if I get hurt, I'll sue you, and you'll lose. Can Kouxin curse? Although I did back then.
