"Ah! Tonight will definitely be a very beautiful night." Nangong Ziyan looked up at the brilliant starry sky. It felt so good to have family. Suddenly, those lonely red eyes flashed through her mind again, and Nangong Ziyan felt a pang of sadness.
"I wonder how his family treats him?" Nangong Ziyan murmured to herself, but her words still reached Beiming Haotian's ears.
"Miss Nangong, it is my poor eyesight that I did not expect that Miss Nangong is actually the young lady of the South China Sea Glass Palace."
Baili Yuechan walked to Nangong Ziyan's side, but in her eyes, Nangong Ziyan's attire was completely out of place for a young lady of high birth. It was no wonder that she mistook her for a maid.
"It's not that Miss Nangong is blind, but that I'm too casual." Nangong Ziyan suddenly became upset and had no intention of playing mind games with Baili Yuechan. She said she was blind, but that was not the case at all. Her gaze was full of mockery. Did she really think she was naive?
"Haotian, are you full?" Nangong Ziyan turned around and asked Beiming Haotian.
"I'm already full." Bei Ming Haotian glanced at her, wanting to save his questions for when no one was around.
"Oh! Haotian, you should rest for a while. I'm going for a walk. I just finished eating, so a walk is good for me. Miss Baili, you should also have your dinner soon!"
After Nangong Ziyan finished speaking, she walked into the depths of the forest without waiting for anyone's reply.
The night was unusually quiet, and the brilliant starry sky was too beautiful to be appreciated. Where Nangong Ziyan was, neither magical beasts nor monsters dared to approach.
Nangong Ziyan found a large rock and sat down.
He hugged his knees with both hands, tilted his head slightly back and looked at the palace, his clear eyes filled with longing.
The brilliant starry sky above, in her eyes, became those lonely, painful red eyes.
"Where are you? Do you know how many days and nights I've thought of you, of your lonely eyes? I really want to be by your side, to warm your cold eyes..." Nangong Ziyan suddenly shouted at the sky, her voice filled with endless desolation.
"Why, why do I always remember you? Why can't I forget you? Where are you? Can you tell me? I really can't wait another month. Whenever I'm happy, I think about whether you're happy or not. Whenever I'm joyful, I also think about whether you're joyful or not. Why is it that we breathe the same air under the same sky, yet I can never find you?" Nangong Ziyan's voice was choked with sobs, filled with deep sorrow.
Bei Ming Haotian stood behind the big tree, his body trembling with excitement. He looked at Nangong Ziyan's sad and heartbroken figure with heartache and listened to her moving words. Several times he was tempted to tell her that he was the one she was looking for. But when he thought about the day he would become a demon, his heart became timid. He was afraid that one day he would not recognize her and hurt her. He would regret it deeply.
Suddenly, there was a noise behind them. Bei Ming Haotian's eyes sharpened. He realized that the person following them was Baili Yuechan. Just who was this woman? Why was she interested in what happened sixteen years ago? The surname Baili was only found in the Qihe Dynasty. It seemed he would have to investigate her identity.
Bei Ming Haotian surveyed the surroundings again, and only after confirming that there was no danger did he turn and leave.
Baili Yuechan watched as Beiming Haotian walked back.
A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but then, as if remembering something, he quickly turned around and walked back.
Nangong Ziyan was an active person. After sitting for a while, she got up again and walked into the woods. Her sadness made her temporarily forget her fear.
Not long after they left, they heard the roars of monsters, as if they were fighting over something.
Nangong Ziyan frowned, quickened her pace, and walked towards the source of the sound.
At first glance, Nangong Ziyan was startled. More than a dozen frog-eared magical beasts were staring at a white-clothed man lying on the ground. The white clothes on the man's body were already stained crimson with blood, which could still be clearly seen under the moonlight. It seemed that a group of magical beasts were discussing how to eat him.
Nangong Ziyan frowned. Why would anyone be in these deep mountains at this time? Could it be that they came here to cultivate, kill demonic beasts, and obtain crystals? Not only could they increase their cultivation level, but the demonic beast crystals could also be sold for a good price. Most importantly, these demonic beast crystals could be used to refine potions that improve cultivation.
Nangong Ziyan ran over quickly, and the magical beasts turned tail and ran away as soon as they saw her, as if they had seen a ghost.
The man turned around abruptly and saw the innocent-looking Nangong Ziyan. Shock flashed in his deep eyes. Her cultivation level wasn't high, so why did these magical beasts run away when they saw her? What method did she use? Fortunately, she saved his life.
"Are you alright?" Nangong Ziyan didn't approach any closer, but asked calmly. Although her cultivation level wasn't high, she still had at least some basic self-protection.
"Thank you for saving my life, young lady. I am quite badly injured and I'm afraid I will have to trouble you."
Nangong Ziyan glanced at the man's height, shook her head, and looked helpless, which puzzled the man.
"girl……."
"With my cultivation level, I can't get you out of this forest." Nangong Ziyan knew he was badly injured and had trouble walking. Besides, he was very tall, and she didn't have the strength to carry him out.
"Miss, I beg you to help me. This place is full of magical beasts. I didn't know that, which is why I wandered in here by mistake." The man looked at Nangong Ziyan with a pleading expression. He couldn't die yet; he still had so many things to do.
Nangong Ziyan felt like she had struck gold. She went out for a walk and ended up running into a beauty saving a hero—no, a bear, since they were both lying on the ground.
"The only way is to find someone to help. Wait a minute!"
Nangong Ziyan looked at the surrounding trees and said, "Hmm! I should be able to climb this one."
Compared to Nangong Ziyan's composure, the man looked anxious. He was afraid that if those demonic beasts returned, they would both die.
While the man was still wondering, Nangong Ziyan had already climbed up the tree.
"Haotian, help! Haotian, help!" Nangong Ziyan shouted three times, using all her cultivation power.
"At this level, Haotian should be able to hear it, right?" Nangong Ziyan said to herself again, and slowly climbed down the tree.
