The seductive voice successfully persuaded Ouyang Zixin, and her previously vacant eyes seemed to regain their luster as her resolve strengthened. Reflected in the Mirror Guardian, she appeared more spirited, and even Nameless, who had been summoned back into her body, could clearly sense that her overall condition was rapidly improving.
Once her eyes cleared, Ouyang Zixin quickly resumed communication with Nameless. She told him to stay within her for the time being, feeling that their connection might deepen further. Nameless immediately agreed, sensing the same impending closeness.
Ouyang Zixin closed the Small Stone Box and tidied herself up a bit. "He has hurt me, yet I still cannot bear to turn away from him. Perhaps I should give him another chance."
Women are often soft-hearted, especially when faced with a man they once cared for. However, Nameless did not share this view. Indulging him once would lead to countless regrets later on, so he did not support giving Yun Tianmo any so-called opportunity. It is important to understand that this world is not fair; not everyone gets a second chance after making mistakes, especially someone like Yun Tianmo who has harmed his own master—such an act is even less forgivable.
"Nameless, are you feeling too resentful?" Ouyang Zixin did not expect the usually gentle Nameless to be so insistent on not forgiving Yun Tianmo. She thought he would at least side with her.
"Master, do you not hate him?" Nameless deeply remembered everything that had appeared on the Mirror Guardian and how Ouyang Zixin had been in utter pain. She had just said she hated Yun Tianmo, so why did she wish to give him another chance? Could it be that women are so fickle when it comes to love?
Hate him?
The Underground Palace fell silent after Nameless's question. Ouyang Zixin quietly gazed at the Small Stone Box on the ground, pondering Nameless's inquiry. Had she forgotten something? Why did she feel a certain blankness in her memories?
Suddenly, a sharp pain struck her heart. Ouyang Zixin curled up, pressing her hands against her chest as sweat drenched her back in an instant. Nameless thought she was unable to materialize and could only anxiously ask how she was doing.
Ouyang Zixin shook her head. Struggling against the intense pain in her heart, she forced a smile and said, "I’m thinking about whether I truly hate him. But all that comes to mind are those images, and my heart... it hurts so much."
Again, the pain in her heart!
Nameless was almost fed up with these two words, yet he had no way to help Ouyang Zixin alleviate this pain, only silently vowing in his heart. He must make Yun Tianmo experience this feeling as well.
Yun Tianmo was soaring through Beautiful Scenery Without Form. Suddenly, he felt a chill behind him. When he stopped and turned around to look, he found nothing. This inexplicable sensation had occurred several times already; what was going on?
"Let's go find him first," Ouyang Zixin forced a smile. After all, she had never promised herself anything. If she hadn't seen him being intimate with someone else this time, she probably wouldn't have realized how deeply she had fallen for him. She and he had no real relationship; what right did she have to blame him? What right did she have to hate him? To hate his indifference, to hate his affection.
Looking around, Ouyang Zixin discovered that there were indeed quite a few places in the vast Underground Palace that might lead to an exit. She wondered what her luck would be like and if she could find an exit as smoothly as he did. Just as she was about to turn and leave, her peripheral vision caught sight of a Small Stone Box on the ground. It was this object that had shown her those heart-wrenching images. Now that she was about to leave, should she take it with her?
Seeing Ouyang Zixin stop again after turning around, Nameless followed her gaze and understood what she was hesitating about. It was just like when he hesitated over whether to destroy the Small Stone Box. If it no longer existed, then those annoying images would not appear either. So he spoke up to advise her: "Master, it's better not to take that thing."
Ouyang Zixin knew very well that it would be better not to take it, but if she discarded it just because it presented painful images, then entering the Millennium Ruins would have left her with nothing but heartbreak. Reflecting on less than half a day ago, when she confidently analyzed the mechanisms within the Millennium Ruins, boldly declaring that the greatest Fortune Day was in her hands—was she really going to abandon it now?
"Master, while the Fortune Day is indeed important, but..."
Ouyang Zixin did not listen to what Nameless wanted to say next; instead, she walked back and squatted down in front of the Small Stone Box, murmuring, "I always feel like there is a deeper connection between us, but why do you make me see those things...?"
The Small Stone Box lay quietly on the ground as Ouyang Zixin spoke to it for quite some time. In the end, she reached out and picked it up. "Oh, it's much lighter."
She remembered that after completing the transmission of the Small Stone Box and the Eight Totems, it had become very heavy. But now in her hand, it felt as light as when she first discovered it.
"Well then, lighter is better. I don't think you became considerate and lighter just because you listened to me," Ouyang Zixin stored the Small Stone Box away and then began searching for an exit in the Underground Palace, hoping to find Yun Tianmo as soon as possible.
"What will finding him accomplish?" Ouyang Zixin couldn't help but ask herself. Was it really like Nameless said—should he be responsible for his actions? If he were responsible, it probably wouldn’t be for her; it should be for Baike. She didn't even know where they stood now...
"Hate him..."
Ouyang Zixin felt as if there was another version of herself inside her. One side tried to convince herself that Yun Tianmo owed her nothing, while the other firmly believed that Yun Tianmo was just a deceitful man who had betrayed her feelings. One side, like a saint, sought to find excuses for Yun Tianmo and shift the blame, while the other side, like a demon, wished to tear him to pieces.
Enough, enough, enough!
Ouyang Zixin felt she was on the verge of a mental breakdown. A surge of pent-up frustration made her feel incredibly uncomfortable. All she wanted was to scream and release all the turmoil inside her. She was truly furious; before she could even let out a sound, a wave of anger surged up, and she felt a sweetness in her throat before spitting out a mouthful of blood. The wall in front of her was instantly splattered with blood, and a few drops dripped onto her chest.
"Master!" Nameless was extremely anxious, but he couldn't emerge from Ouyang Zixin's body, so he could only fret helplessly.
Hate! I hate it!
Ouyang Zixin wiped the blood from her lips and clenched her fist, striking the stone wall with great force, causing a dent to form. Yet she seemed completely oblivious to the pain, allowing the blood to flow through her fingers and splatter... (To be continued.)
