At the moment Ouyang Zixin felt Yun Tianmo pass through her body, she froze completely. How could this happen? This wasn't a soul; how could it directly pass through her body?
Nameless behind her was also dumbfounded, struggling to comprehend everything happening before him. The people trapped in this illusion were indeed real; they were just deceived by the illusion, and what they saw was not the truth, yet they themselves were still real!
Yun Tianmo seemed oblivious to everything and walked straight into the Deep Pool. However, the scene she expected of him falling in did not occur; instead, the sound of "thud" rang out once more.
With that "thud," a chilling wind suddenly surged from all directions. In an instant, the howling wind filled the entire Underground Palace, mixed with a natural coldness that swept through, making it hard to endure and causing teeth to chatter.
"Master, be careful." Fortunately, Nameless was quick on his feet; Ouyang Zixin almost got knocked over by several gusts of wind. The wind came unpredictably, making it difficult to maintain balance. Moreover, Ouyang Zixin was still shaken by the earlier incident of Yun Tianmo passing through her, so losing her center of gravity was unavoidable.
In just half a day, she had been shocked several times. This trip to the Millennium Ruins was far too thrilling compared to the previous danger encountered in Luoping Village. Of course, the danger in Luoping Village was not thrilling; it was terrifying. With Nameless's support, Ouyang Zixin steadied herself. She turned around to see how Yun Tianmo was doing, but after leaving the Deep Pool, there was no one there.
Oh no. He couldn't have really fallen down, could he?
Holding onto Nameless, Ouyang Zixin leaned out cautiously. The wind was too strong at that moment. If she accidentally fell in, it would be disastrous for her. The Deep Pool was much better than an abyss; there was still some light. However, looking down into the Deep Pool, she couldn't see Yun Tianmo. Had he disappeared?
"Steady yourself." A cool voice sounded above Ouyang Zixin. Seeing her nearly lean entirely into the Deep Pool while searching for him made Yun Tianmo unable to remain silent any longer and revealed himself.
Upon hearing his voice, Ouyang Zixin quickly looked up. When she saw that it really was Yun Tianmo above her, a joyful smile blossomed on her face as she grinned and said, "I thought you fell down and would either die or be crippled!"
How enviable! Ouyang Zixin gazed at Yun Tianmo, who stood so majestically in mid-air. He looked like a true master hero; she wished she could be like him someday—he was simply so cool.
Before her pink bubbles of admiration could fully form, they were shattered by Nameless, who interrupted her starry-eyed gaze with his sudden appearance in front of her. "Can we leave this place first?" he asked impatiently. It was hard for him to watch as they stood precariously at the edge of the Deep Pool, looking like they might be blown in at any moment while she continued to gaze at him with admiration.
Ouyang Zixin's gaze remained fixed on Yun Tianmo. She was still pondering whether she could get him to pass this skill onto her, and she randomly nodded in agreement to Nameless's words as he pulled her back a few steps. Seeing them retreat, Yun Tianmo stepped lightly in the air and flew back from the Deep Pool, landing in front of Ouyang Zixin. Noticing her still dazed expression, he felt quite pleased and encouraged her to keep watching him.
On the other hand, Nameless felt that in just half a day, his lifespan had been drastically shortened, though he had no idea how many years he had lived or how many more he could live. He just had that feeling; whenever he was with these two, he should never hesitate to disappear when the opportunity arose.
"Can you see souls?" Yun Tianmo asked as he noticed Nameless sneaking away again. Although what he had seen earlier might have just been an illusion, he still wanted to clarify his doubts.
Nameless was taken aback by the question. Souls? He looked at Yun Tianmo's serious face and thought that this Cloud Young Master probably wasn't as unreliable as his master. Tentatively, he asked, "Are you talking about ghosts?"
Ghosts again.
Yun Tianmo remembered hearing this term from Ouyang Zixin before, along with a long string of strange phrases she had recited that seemed related to ghosts. It was surprising that Nameless mentioned it too. After pondering for a moment, he nodded, "Sort of."
"Ghosts? What ghosts? Where are there ghosts?" Their conversation successfully pulled Ouyang Zixin out of her pleasant daydream. While it was true that she needed to learn some skills, the topic of ghosts was not something to be taken lightly; rather, when encountering anything related to ghosts, one should immediately avoid it.
Yun Tianmo frowned; it was clear that Ouyang Zixin and the version of her in the illusion were not the same person. But why did some of their words seem to connect? Could it be that this illusion could adapt based on the actual circumstances of the characters involved?
Nameless repeated Yun Tianmo's earlier question to Ouyang Zixin and then stated that he had never seen any souls or ghosts. Although he himself floated around, he firmly believed they were different from him. Moreover, his master said that all ghosts were bad, but he was not bad; he was a good person.
"When a person dies and becomes a ghost, is there such a thing? It cannot be definitively stated. All living things in heaven and earth must die if they are born..." Yun Tianmo recited the passage he had heard earlier and looked at Ouyang Zixin, waiting for her reaction. However, after listening, she looked at him with confusion, as if she had heard something incomprehensible.
"Cloud Young Master's words sound so profound." It reminded her somewhat of what her master used to say about classical Chinese literature, but it seemed much deeper than what her master had mentioned before.
"Yes, it is quite profound. But how do you know classical Chinese? Does Yuhai Continent even have classical Chinese?" Ouyang Zixin nodded; indeed, that passage was deep. She had struggled the most with classical Chinese in her studies and hadn't deliberately sought it out in Yuhai Continent, so she was surprised to find it actually existed here. "For such obscure phrases, it's impressive that you can remember such a long passage."
"That's what you said."
"Ha ha, what are you joking about? That's impossible." Ouyang Zixin didn't believe it. If she could recite such profound words, she might have directly joined the ancient literature research group back then.
"In the illusion."
"Ha, that's fake! It's an illusion, an illusion!"
"You ate a ghost." Yun Tianmo was undeterred and continued.
"Pfft, you guess I ate a ghost? You... forget it, that was an illusion, fake!"
"We kissed."
"..." Ouyang Zixin opened her mouth, momentarily speechless. She wanted to say that was also fake, but for some reason, she couldn't bring herself to say it.
"Yeah, that's true." Nameless nodded as if talking to himself, feeling he had revealed the truth.
"Get lost! You better get out of here right now!" She couldn't do anything about Yun Tianmo, but she could yell at Nameless, so once again, Nameless faced a tragic fate.
(To be continued.)
P.S.: Ten thousand updates, third day.
