Pulling Yun Tianmo and Ouyang Zixin to a crooked tree that had been shaken by the tremor, she tried to withdraw her hand but found it tightly held by Yun Tianmo. Instead, she ended up leaning towards him.
"Just go ahead," Yun Tianmo said, wrapping his arm around Ouyang Zixin and gently brushing her hair. "No need to worry."
As a man, if he couldn't even protect his woman from such a little danger, he would have no face left.
This was not arrogance from Yun Tianmo, but rather his pride and dignity.
Leaning against Yun Tianmo's chest, Ouyang Zixin could hear the steady beat of his heart, thumping softly, which gradually calmed her own.
Indeed, what was there to worry about? As long as she was with him, there was nothing to fear.
Once she realized this, Ouyang Zixin felt completely relaxed and playfully chuckled, "If we can't share a bed in life, sharing a grave in death isn't so bad either."
Hearing this, Yun Tianmo raised his hand and lightly tapped her head, causing her to grimace in pain. She jumped out of his embrace, huffing, "I was just joking! You're such an ice mountain, you have no sense of humor at all."
"…"
Was it really a matter of humor?
"Are you trying to make a lifelong commitment with me?" Yun Tianmo looked down at Ouyang Zixin, who was rubbing her head. That line about sharing a grave somehow lifted his spirits. Upon reflection, wasn't that implying she wanted to dedicate her life to him?
Ouyang Zixin had just blurted out those words in a moment of heat; now that she thought about it, it did seem to imply that. Although she had lived two lives, saying something so direct about wanting to be with a man… this was indeed the first time. Her face flushed bright red. Forgetting the pain in her head, she turned to escape.
She truly felt embarrassed facing Yun Tianmo. Why did she always act so foolishly in front of him?
—Master, you have finally come to your senses.
"Shut up!"
Nameless chuckled inwardly, noticing that the master seemed to be gradually coming to terms with this reality. However, it remained uncertain whether she could change in the future or if she would continue to be foolish.
Yun Tianmo would never allow Ouyang Zixin to escape. With a swift movement, he positioned himself in front of her, looking at her flushed face with a half-smile. His lips involuntarily curled up; the way this Little Woman blushed was truly endearing.
"Move aside."
"No."
"You..."
"Let's begin."
"Oh."
————————————————
"Is it really this simple?" Ouyang Zixin stared at Yun Tianmo, rubbing her eyes vigorously. She found everything a bit hard to believe.
Yun Tianmo did not respond immediately. Instead, he looked around and realized that they were no longer in Beautiful Scenery Without Form. He then pulled her hand down, noticing that her eyes were red from rubbing, resembling a little rabbit, Zi Yi.
"It seems it's not as complicated as I imagined." Yun Tianmo lightly laughed and tapped her nose. This Little Woman was overly worried; wasn't everything fine now? Just moments ago, she had appeared as if they were heading to their doom.
"I was just preparing for the worst," she replied. Since no danger had occurred, the two of them had managed to exit Beautiful Scenery Without Form using the Small Stone Box. This was naturally a good thing, so Ouyang Zixin decided not to dwell on that issue any longer. What needed clarification now was whether any new changes had taken place after they exited Beautiful Scenery Without Form.
The two opened the Small Stone Box, only to find that the Mirror Guardian remained calm and showed no images; only the glow of the Xiaoshen pattern had dimmed slightly.
"Is it really corresponding?" Each totem pattern corresponded to a specific scene and also aligned with one of the five elements. This was a conclusion reached by Ouyang Zixin and Yun Tianmo, but it was merely their speculation. Now it seemed that after exiting Beautiful Scenery Without Form, the gray-brown glow belonging to "Earth" had weakened, which indeed confirmed their hypothesis.
Yun Tianmo gently pulled Ouyang Zixin's hand, leading her to walk slowly as they were surrounded by a vast expanse of white sand. This was a barren land, devoid of any vegetation, with sand everywhere and not a hint of other colors. Staying in such a place for too long could cause visual problems.
"Have you felt anything?"
Ouyang Zixin paused at his question, tilting her head to look at him. "Your sensing ability is no weaker than mine, why are you asking me?"
With Yun Tianmo around, she had no need to focus on sensing anything herself; after all, she was the laziest one. If someone else could do it for her, that was always the best option.
"My sensing ability has been sealed." Yun Tianmo said helplessly. How had this Little Woman not realized that her sensing ability was special in these Millennium Ruins? Even if it was weak, it was still usable.
"What?" Ouyang Zixin exclaimed in surprise, quickly stepping in front of him. Her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief; how could this be possible?
Seeing her block his path, Yun Tianmo decided to stop as well. After staring at the endless white for too long, his eyes were starting to feel uncomfortable. Looking at Ouyang Zixin's face made him feel much better.
"It seems that the Millennium Ruins have some kind of sealing power. Didn't you notice anything when you fought Baike earlier?"
"Was hers sealed too?" Ouyang Zixin recalled being blinded by anger at the time and hadn't thought things through carefully. Now that she reflected on it, Baike's reactions and movements seemed significantly slower than hers during their fight. Could it be because her sensing ability was sealed?
Seeing the change in Ouyang Zixin's expression, Yun Tianmo knew she had figured it out and guided her to walk beside him as they continued forward. "You've improved."
"Of course." Ouyang Zixin didn't think it was because she had an advantage in sensing that allowed her to toy with Baike. So when Yun Tianmo offered her a ladder, she naturally took it. "My little bit of sensing ability isn't worth mentioning."
—Master, your skin seems to be getting thicker...
Get lost!
Noticing Ouyang Zixin suddenly glare fiercely, Yun Tianmo thought she sensed something and tightened his grip on her hand, his aura fully activated. "Is there danger?"
"Huh?" Ouyang Zixin jumped at his words. "Danger? Where?"
Watching her search around as if she had no idea where the danger was coming from, Yun Tianmo suddenly felt a bit of a headache; it seemed he had misunderstood something.
"You are not suited to show a fierce expression," Yun Tianmo slowly exhaled, lowering the defenses around them. It appeared to be a false alarm; without his sensing ability, things were indeed inconvenient.
A fierce expression? Who?
Me?
Ouyang Zixin was confused by Yun Tianmo's words; where had she shown a fierce expression?
——Master, just now, when you told Nameless to get lost, you showed a fierce expression.
"…"
"Right now, we are not dead, and there is a chance to share the same bed," Yun Tianmo's voice suddenly floated over from the side.
"…"
Same… bed…
Bed… (To be continued.)
