That night, the air was cool as water, and the Underground Palace had returned to tranquility. Yun Tianying also ceased his torment of the shadow guards.
Yun Tianmo and Ouyang Zixin walked hand in hand through the Underground Palace, the atmosphere warm and cozy. Neither of them spoke, reluctant to break this rare moment of peace.
Many events had transpired in the Millennium Ruins, some exceeding their expectations. However, aside from Yun Tianying's poison being suppressed and partially dispelled by Ouyang Zixin due to a fortunate coincidence, the most significant gain was the rapid advancement of their relationship.
It had been nearly seven years since they first met, and neither had anticipated that this breakthrough would come from just over ten days of interaction. No wonder people say that feelings between men and women are like a windowpane; once pierced, it becomes quite straightforward.
At this moment, Ouyang Zixin felt a deep sense of calm. The turmoil in her heart caused by the woman who claimed to be her was restored in Yun Tianmo's company. Yet she knew this was only temporary; everything needed to be clarified. Only when the truth emerged could this peace be genuine and devoid of any falsehood.
She even had a sense that everything seemed predestined, including this journey to the Millennium Ruins. If all of this was meant to help her recover memories she had supposedly forgotten, then who orchestrated it? Who could manipulate events a century later? Moreover, it wasn't just a matter of time but also space. That person must be incredibly powerful, not only bringing her from Earth to Yuhai Continent but also arranging everything that followed.
Time and space—if any part of it went wrong, then none of this would have happened. And she wouldn't be here in the Millennium Ruins walking hand in hand with Yun Tianmo.
"What are you thinking about?" Yun Tianmo's magnetic voice broke the silence. All evening, Ouyang Zixin had appeared lost in thought; he knew if he didn't ask, she likely wouldn't say anything.
"I'm thinking... everything is so wonderful." Ouyang Zixin stopped walking. Looking at Yun Tianmo's face, such a handsome man was now by her side, and as long as she wished, he would always accompany her. This happiness came so suddenly that she feared losing it.
If she hadn't come to Yuhai Continent, if she hadn't entered the secret realm with him. If he hadn't saved her life, if they hadn't experienced the Millennium Ruins...
What would happen between them?
"What do you want to say?" Yun Tianmo sensed Ouyang Zixin had something on her mind but wasn't sure if she wanted to share it now.
After pondering for a moment, Ouyang Zixin decided to test Yun Tianmo's reaction. "Do you believe there is someone in this world who has another self? A self with completely different memories from their current one?"
This sounds quite convoluted. However, Yun Tianmo understood the meaning behind Ouyang Zixin's words because he had always known her special nature.
"Believe."
"Why? Don't you think it's strange?" A mysterious existence claims to be her. Moreover, she possesses memories from a Thousand Years Ago, which is far more than her simply crossing over to this place. It seems like an unnecessary burden.
"In countless worlds and countless matters, there's nothing strange about it." Yun Tianmo chuckled. If he could accept that she suddenly grew up, what else could he not accept?
This Little Woman was clearly still so small, yet after emerging from the secret realm, she had grown into a graceful young lady. Although most people in the Capital of the Departed Nation seemed to accept this bizarre situation, he knew it was due to power dynamics. If it weren't for Nan Gong Yao, the Sovereign above, Ouyang Zixin's situation would not have been easily overlooked. But he was different; he didn't need anyone to pressure him and gladly accepted this outcome, even feeling happy about it.
If she were still that little girl, wouldn't he have to wait much longer? So, this result was quite good.
As for the "other self" she mentioned, Yun Tianmo felt it wasn't important. Regardless of whether that so-called "other her" truly existed, he had already accepted her as she was, and that was enough.
"You really are broad-minded," Ouyang Zixin pouted at him playfully. "That's because it didn't happen to you." She couldn't even imagine if her memories were given to him; if he truly was that person, could he bear it? Would he choose to temporarily escape like she did?
Perhaps he wouldn't. He was so powerful; maybe he would immediately find a way to resolve the situation.
"Fool, even if it happened to you, I would treat it as my own matter," Yun Tianmo said affectionately as he looked at Ouyang Zixin. This Little Woman was becoming increasingly worried unnecessarily. As long as he was there, he would handle everything for her—just like how he had repeatedly blocked Nan Gong Yao's marriage proposals.
"Yun Tianmo, if..."
"Mo."
"Huh?" Ouyang Zixin paused, what Mo?
"From now on, call me Mo." He didn't like her always addressing him by his full name; it felt too distant.
"Uh... a name is just a label. I... fine." Ouyang Zixin wanted to argue, but she quickly succumbed to Yun Tianmo's intense gaze and softly called out to him.
"What? Can't hear you." Yun Tianmo leaned down closer to her lips.
Ouyang Zixin's face flushed. She had never called a male so intimately before, not even in her entire life. That one utterance had taken almost all her courage, and with Yun Tianmo leaning in closer, she felt even more shy, nearly burying her head in her chest, unwilling to speak again.
Seeing Ouyang Zixin's bashful demeanor stirred something in Yun Tianmo's heart. He reached out and lifted her chin, and when he saw her eyes filled with affection and her face blooming like a peach blossom, he lost himself for a moment. Acting on impulse, he kissed her deeply, savoring her sweetness.
Ouyang Zixin was also moved; she quickly melted into his embrace. His kiss always had a way of drawing her in completely.
"So sweet, Little Woman. How can you be so wonderful?" Yun Tianmo's fingertips lightly traced Ouyang Zixin's face as his slightly hoarse voice whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her spine.
"Annoying..." Ouyang Zixin's soft voice didn't quite match the words she spoke; it fully revealed how much she enjoyed this moment. In Yun Tianmo's arms, she could forget all her troubles.
"Annoying? Your body doesn't seem to agree with that." Yun Tianmo smirked wickedly and deepened the kiss once more. She belonged to him; even her "annoying" remarks were possessively claimed by him, ensuring no one else could intrude. Even if he couldn't fully possess her now, he would hold onto all her beauty as much as possible until the day she completely surrendered herself to him.
That night was beautiful.
Yun Tianmo successfully brought Ouyang Zixin out of the shadows. As for the problems they would face tomorrow, they could wait until then. (To be continued.)
