In the crisis-ridden Millennium Ruins, it was rare to encounter such a quiet night. This time, the two embraced as they slept, drawing their relationship closer, making their hearts beat in sync, something that could not be compared to what happened in the Underground Palace.
The sky was faintly brightening; the sun was nowhere to be seen, yet for some reason, it had started to light up. Lacking the warmth of dawn, the two sleeping figures showed no signs of waking up at all.
Yun Tianmo's Barrier was indeed a remarkable thing; even while he slept, it held strong, ensuring that neither of them would be exposed.
"This..." Zhao Feiyu looked at Yun Tianying with some difficulty. It was one thing for everyone to pretend not to see during the night, but now that it was broad daylight, these two were being too blatant about it.
Yun Tianying's cultivation level was already higher than Zhao Feiyu's, so he was fully aware of what had transpired last night. If it weren't for the many unresolved matters in the Millennium Ruins, he wouldn't have wanted to disturb his brother's sweet moment.
He lightly cleared his throat, trying to see if Yun Tianmo had woken up. After all, his brother always remained vigilant in any situation, especially since he and Zhao Feiyu were standing not far from his Barrier; logically, he should have sensed their presence by now.
About half an incense stick later, Zhao Feiyu felt as if she were about to become a statue in the morning light. However, everything around her was a blank white; there was nothing to act upon. With no means of moving alone and having already witnessed Ouyang Zixin with that Stone Box, how could she possibly leave easily at this moment?
At the very least, she needed to mock her own foolishness before considering whether to act alone.
Zhao Feiyu chuckled inwardly; this was a rare opportunity. Seeing how indifferent she usually appeared or how she often ignored others, this time she had to make sure to tease her thoroughly. Otherwise, how could she justify her restless night spent tossing and turning?
————————————
"Ah ha—"
Ouyang Zixin turned over, feeling as if half of her body had gone numb. It was quite uncomfortable to sleep in the same position all night. While yawning, she stretched lazily; stretching upon waking was a very comforting thing to do. Unfortunately, she forgot that she was not alone at that moment...
"Is it common for noble ladies of the Exiled Nation to be so... uh, bold in the morning?" Yun Tianmo had already woken up the moment Ouyang Zixin opened her eyes. He had been imagining what a beautiful scene it would be when they both woke up, but he never expected it to turn out like this.
"Uh? You're awake? Hehe." Caught halfway through her stretch, Ouyang Zixin chuckled and quickly withdrew her hands, crossing her arms over her chest. With her eyes still not fully clear, she smiled sweetly, "Did you sleep well? Do you want to sleep a bit longer?"
"I'm awake; let's get up." The sky was already brightening. Even though Yun Tianmo wished they could stay together forever, reason told him that was impossible. They still had too many things to do. There were many secrets in the Millennium Ruins that needed to be explored. Last night had already been a luxurious indulgence.
Upon hearing they were getting up, Ouyang Zixin hurriedly sat up, brushing off the dust from her clothes and smoothing out the wrinkles. Indeed, sleeping with someone else was different from sleeping alone; how could her clothes end up looking like this? She worried that if they went outside and were seen like this, it would lead to misunderstandings.
"What should I do..."
Yun Tianmo seemed to have done nothing at all but looked impeccably tidy, unlike someone who had spent the night outdoors. Ouyang Zixin initially thought about discussing this with him to prevent any wild imaginations from others outside, but when she turned around and saw him, those words just wouldn't come out.
Seeing her speechless gaze directed at him, Yun Tianmo looked down at himself and confirmed there was nothing wrong before asking, "What's wrong?"
Ouyang Zixin gestured at her wrinkled clothes with a bitter smile on her face. "What do you think?"
If she walked out of this Barrier looking like this, even if nothing had happened between them last night, no one would believe it. No wonder Ouyang Zixin looked so distressed. Therefore, while enjoying sweet moments together, it was easy to overlook many details afterward, such as their attire.
The more she looked at Yun Tianmo's light and easy demeanor—still looking carefree after a night’s sleep—the more unbalanced Ouyang Zixin felt. She wished she could just rip off his neatly arranged clothes. Unfortunately for her, her not-so-clear mind after waking up led to an impulsive decision: when Yun Tianmo wasn't paying attention, she suddenly lunged at him and grabbed his shirt with both hands, giving it a good tug...
"Ah, now I feel balanced." Ouyang Zixin clapped her hands and took a step back to look at Yun Tianmo's current appearance; his clothes were also wrinkled now. She felt quite satisfied with her result; at least now she wouldn't be the only one being laughed at.
Yun Tianmo looked at Ouyang Zixin's satisfied face with a mix of amusement and exasperation, unable to believe how wild this woman could be so early in the morning.
He recalled hearing from her two maids at Rong Yi that she often exhibited some unusual behavior shortly after waking up. However, her insistence on wrinkling his clothes just because hers were wrinkled was simply outrageous!
This added a vivid touch to their private encounter last night after the "no silver here" incident at the Barrier. Yun Tianmo, who initially intended to stir some thoughts between them, now felt an ambiguous sense of fortune or misfortune.
After removing the Barrier—
"Wow, I thought you two would tone it down during the day, but I didn't expect... tsk tsk..." Zhao Feiyu nearly burst into laughter upon seeing them. If it weren't for Yun Tianmo's cold expression, she would have laughed heartily.
It was one thing for Ouyang Zixin to be in such a state, but to see Yun Tianmo like this too...
Yun Tianying couldn't bear to watch any longer. Yun Tianmo was being too careless, leaving such obvious marks. As an older brother, he couldn't pretend not to notice.
Watching the strange expressions on their faces—one wanting to laugh but holding back, and the other pretending not to see—Ouyang Zixin's mind cleared up from the low blood sugar she had when she got up. She looked down at herself and then at Yun Tianmo's wrinkled outfit, suddenly feeling an urge to bang her head against a wall...
"You, why didn't you stop me..." Ouyang Zixin covered her face, thinking that with the Barrier up, their date wouldn't be seen by anyone. But in the end, she had ruined it herself.
A hint of amusement flashed in Yun Tianmo's eyes as he helplessly replied, "You moved too quickly." (To be continued.)
