Ouyang Zixin and her group reappeared in the Underground Palace of the Millennium Ruins, and this time, their numbers had doubled compared to the last visit.
The damaged areas within the Underground Palace had surprisingly returned to their original state, a fact known only to Ouyang Zixin and Yun Tianmo, as they were the only ones who had been here before.
It seemed that Yun Tianmo had not yet used his Source Serpent Scale Shield, while Ouyang Zixin had already utilized her Small Stone Box multiple times, making it almost no longer a secret.
Upon returning to the Underground Palace, Ouyang Zixin felt a sense of confusion. What was the purpose of this? Was the so-called exit merely the entrance to the Underground Palace? She recalled that when she exited from here, she directly arrived at Beautiful Scenery Without Form. Could it be that the Underground Palace connected to every other place? Other locations were linked together, while this one was parallel.
If that were the case, did it mean that everyone entering the Millennium Ruins would ultimately converge here?
"Be careful." Lost in thought, Ouyang Zixin failed to notice a stone block beneath her feet. Fortunately, Yun Tianmo reacted quickly and pulled her back. He then looked at her with a hint of reproach and said, "What are you thinking? You can't even walk properly."
His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone to hear. Ouyang Zixin felt her face flush and rolled her eyes at him. After shaking off his hand, she walked straight ahead.
"Mo, you should give Miss Ouyang some face," Yun Tianying remarked, feeling somewhat speechless about her brother, who was notoriously dense when it came to emotions. How could such caring words sound so different coming from him?
Yun Tianmo remained silent, his expression unreadable. Meanwhile, Zhao Feiyu thought it best not to stay too close because the cold aura emanating from Yun Tianmo was overwhelming, making her feel as if she might freeze at any moment.
The three were heading towards Ouyang Zixin, when suddenly she stopped and raised an arm behind her, signaling for them not to approach.
"What happened?" Zhao Feiyu, trailing behind, noticed the sudden halt and leaned forward to peek. Seeing Ouyang Zixin's tense posture made her quickly fall silent.
Thanks to Ouyang Zixin's warning, both Yun Tianmo and Yun Tianying became alert as well. They scanned the surroundings of the Underground Palace, trying to identify anything amiss.
"It seems we are not alone here," Yun Tianying said with a slight smile as his tense nerves relaxed a bit. Since he could detect the presence of others even when they were hiding, he felt there was no need to be overly concerned.
Ouyang Zixin walked at the front, clearly sensing that there were others in the Underground Palace besides them, probably just one or two people. As for their strength...
She couldn't feel it at all, which was why she signaled for the others behind her to be cautious.
"Come back," Yun Tianmo called out to Ouyang Zixin.
At this, Ouyang Zixin stopped being stubborn and obediently turned back. After all, she understood the principle that a capable person knows when to yield; in a situation where she needed protection, there was no reason not to accept Yun Tianmo's help.
"Who goes there? State your name."
There was already an echo in the Underground Palace, and at that moment, it was hard to tell where the voice was coming from. Just by hearing the person speak with a constricted throat, it was clear they didn't want to reveal their identity.
Ouyang Zixin couldn't help but chuckle. The way they spoke with a constricted throat sounded just like a eunuch—sharp and piercing. If they wanted to disguise their voice, they didn't need to use such a foolish method. Besides, what kind of disguise was this? It was obvious...
"No way!" Ouyang Zixin exclaimed with a pained expression. She had wondered why this voice made her want to laugh, especially since the person was speaking with a constricted throat; it turned out the voice belonged to Nangong Tuo.
If it had been Nangong Takuya, that would have been one thing, but she recognized him immediately.
Zhao Feiyu was initially taken aback, unsure of what Ouyang Zixin found funny. But then he realized it was Nangong Tuo's voice and was about to mock her when he was suddenly frozen into silence by Yun Tianmo's chilling presence.
"Get out here!" Yun Tianmo snorted coldly. How dare Nangong Tuo act so mysterious in front of him? He was really getting bolder.
"Hey, Yun Tianmo, is that you? Yun Tianmo... Hahaha... I..." Upon hearing Yun Tianmo's voice, Nangong Tuo immediately started shouting without any more throat constriction. His figure sprang out from behind a large artificial hill, as if encountering Yun Tianmo here was the greatest joy.
"Oh, oh... Ouyang..." But before he could enjoy his excitement for long, he suddenly saw another familiar face next to Yun Tianmo—Ouyang Zixin, whom he had been desperately searching for. In his surprise and excitement, he stuttered, unable to get his words out as he felt a lump in his throat.
He thought he had searched high and low for her and yet found her without any effort at all.
Feeling that it is better to forget each other than to meet again in the world...
Ouyang Zixin had not yet covered her face when Yun Tianmo called her out. Now, another trouble was coming her way, just after she had managed to shake off three others. She secretly pinched Yun Tianmo's waist and whispered through gritted teeth, "Why did you call him out? Can't we change places?"
Every time she thought about Nangong Tuo scheming behind her back, wanting Sovereign to arrange a marriage for her, she felt a prickling discomfort. No matter how she thought about it, it was unsettling. But there was nothing she could do; he was the Sovereign's son, and she was just the daughter of a minister. Not only could she not resist, but even thinking about her parents made it impossible for her to act against it.
Suddenly, she felt that the down-to-earth bravery of that person was commendable; he dared to express his dissatisfaction directly. If only she could do the same.
"Avoiding is not as good as solving," Yun Tianmo naturally knew why Ouyang Zixin wanted to avoid Nangong Tuo. But who was he? Would he allow the woman he cared for to hide from other men?
No, absolutely not.
The woman standing beside Yun Tianmo was someone all men found hard to look at directly; she was a woman only he could possess.
This brainless Third Prince of Li Nation had tried several times to pursue Ouyang Zixin. Yun Tianmo had long wanted to deal with him, but he always managed to escape quickly or keep his distance. This time, however, in the Millennium Ruins, he had come right to him; let’s see how he would escape now.
"Ouyang what? Do you think you're a rooster?" Ouyang Zixin mocked Nangong Tuo while turning her head to whisper in Yun Tianmo's ear, "Then I'll see how you solve this." After saying that, she revealed a brilliant smile, yet her hand gripping Yun Tianmo's waist showed no sign of loosening.
Zhao Feiyu stood by, wanting to laugh but holding it back. She knew that they were not facing some indifferent royal family from Dream Nation but the Third Prince of Exiled Nation. Even if she wanted to befriend Ouyang Zixin, she couldn't openly offend Nangong Tuo. So she had a feeling that the days ahead might be quite tough for her—very hard to endure.
