My enemies became my companions

Chapter 179 Little Fox Girlfriend!

Yin Tingxue felt a chill on the back of her neck and looked at him in shock.

Chen Yi didn't say anything, but just responded with a calm gaze.

She was always afraid of him whenever he was like this, not because he was going to bully her, but because he had made a decision, a decision she didn't want but couldn't change.

Yin Tingxue opened her mouth, but the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't utter any more. The cold wind made the mountain top very cold, and the flowers on the cliff were shivering.

Chen Yi looked at her calmly and said:

"Just say whatever you want to say."

In the inn, at the moment when the soft sword stabbed, Chen Yi had a vague feeling that Yin Tingxue would die from this sword.

Even though Zhou Yitang's sword intent saved her life in the end, Chen Yi still felt empty inside, because the girl's life and death were beyond his control at that moment.

She sacrificed herself to block the sword. Rather than being touched, Chen Yi felt more panic. He was afraid that Yin Tingxue would die for him.

If we let her continue like this, who knows which sword will kill her?
For the first time, he regretted bringing Yin Tingxue out.

Neither of them spoke. The night was terribly dull, with only the faint rustling of falling leaves. Yin Tingxue felt extremely uneasy. As usual, she tiptoed forward and wanted to get into his arms.

However, Chen Yi stepped back.

The girl's heart instantly turned cold, and goose bumps appeared all over her body. She looked at Chen Yi, choked for a while, and then said:
"I do not want…"

Yin Tingxue became even more desperate when she didn't get a response.

She asked in a trembling voice, "Can't we go to Yintai Temple?"

"Wait until you have the baby."

He finally responded, but it was a terrible word. The cold wind blew across his clothes, and Yin Tingxue felt like she was falling into an icy cave.

The sensitive girl realized that Chen Yi never wanted her to come out again.

I'm afraid that even Yintai Temple will not allow her to go there anymore, and she will have to stay in the yard and give birth to one child after another for him. She will lose even her pitiful freedom.

She had always been afraid of him and hated him. She finally felt that he had gotten better during this period, but he wanted to trap her back to the way she was before.

Yin Tingxue felt extremely uncomfortable, her body stiffened, and she barely took a step forward, but Chen Yi also took a step back.

The daughter of King Xiang looked at him in dismay, her lips moving for a long time before she said bitterly:
"…Can't you even hug me?"

Seeing tears in her eyes, Chen Yi couldn't help but raise his hands a little, and Yin Tingxue almost threw herself into his arms.

The little fox breathed in and out heavily, as if he had walked through the gates of hell, and his scent filled his nose.

She sniffed, and held Chen Yi tightly with her little hands, silently begging him to be soft-hearted and relax.

"Your heart always drifts to other places instead of staying at home." After pondering for a moment, Chen Yi finally spoke.

The outside world is too dangerous.

The sword that almost took Yin Tingxue's life made Chen Yi think of many things, including the statue of the Heavenly King that would bring strange phenomena if touched, and the Annan King Qin Qingluo who suddenly turned against him. Everywhere here was planned and arranged by the immortals and Buddhas, and if he missed his step accidentally, he would lose Yin Tingxue forever.

It seemed that he had unknowingly played enough of the mother-daughter game. He didn't want to worry about her life or death anymore, and he didn't plan to be her mother anymore.

"Please take out paper and pen." Chen Yi said.

The girl in his arms shuddered, her back stiffened under his palm, and she trembled:
"I just... drew it."

Chen Yi remained silent.

"I didn't mean to upset you, can you let me go this time?"

Yin Tingxue's eyes were filled with tears and her tone was extremely weak. She didn't even dare to say that her intentions were good, for fear of angering the man in front of her.

Chen Yi seemed unmoved: "I'll help you draw a few more strokes and make it a negative number."

Yin Tingxue trembled even more violently and tried her best to stick close to him.

"Don't try to be gentle with me. You can't escape this time." Chen Yi's voice softened, but his words became more terrifying. "After you go back, learn some needlework. Ask your mother to embroider your child's first set of clothes."

Yin Tingxue hugged him tighter, which was a silent resistance.

Sensing her resistance, Chen Yi's eyes flashed with hostility, and he grabbed her shoulders and said:
"You have to think about it even if you don't want to, understand? You don't have a choice."

Yin Tingxue shuddered and stopped crying in fear.

You don’t have a choice…

No matter how familiar they were, when they first met, he said she had no choice, and then forced her to be his concubine, leaving her no choice at all.

"Don't..." She said subconsciously, but stopped immediately, looked at him timidly, and begged: "Let's not talk about this anymore, okay?"

Isn't this just deceiving herself? She wants to stop talking about this topic, but does she have a choice? In the end, she has to accept her fate, just like when she was his concubine before. It's useless to resist, and even to be lenient...

But Yin Tingxue still didn't want to face it, and the longer she could avoid facing it, the better.

"Then what else do you want to say?" Chen Yi asked coldly.

He saw through the girl's thoughts, so he would not let her escape this time.

Yin Tingxue wiped her tears, her eyes were still red, she didn't know what else she wanted to say, she just didn't want to face those cruel words. She made him unhappy, and the count on the paper became negative.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Yi asked, "What do you want to say, huh?"

It seemed like he didn't even give her a chance to escape.

"I want to say..." Yin Tingxue hesitated for a long time, and suddenly said as if she had an epiphany: "Didn't I say that I would... would try to like you, my husband?"

Chen Yi nodded and sneered: "So, you still want to persuade me to change my mind."

“No, no…”

Yin Tingxue said quickly that she was afraid to talk about that topic again, otherwise she would not even have the chance to fool herself.

She hesitated for a long time and asked cautiously:
"Then...can we just be friends first?"

Friend? Chen Yi really didn't expect her to say such a thing. She was already his concubine, and her delicate body belonged to him completely. Why would he care whether she was his friend or not?

Chen Yi had no intention of letting her go, but he allowed her to not face it and to escape for once. It was still okay. She was always escaping here and there anyway, and when she returned, she would have to let herself be manipulated.

What's more, he really wanted to win her heart.

"Oh?"

Chen Yi pondered for a moment and said jokingly:

"So, you want to be my girlfriend?"

Girlfriend...why does it sound weird?

How strange.
Yin Tingxue thought to herself, even though his tone had softened, she did not dare to miss this opportunity, and without thinking too much, she hurriedly said:

"Yes, yes, I'll be your girlfriend, and from now on we'll just be close friends, and you'll be my boyfriend too."

After she finished speaking, she huddled in his arms, looking at him cautiously, her heart pounding.

It's not like she hasn't heard of love stories between men and women. There are many in the Book of Songs. She has also thought about getting married and having children, but why did she choose this man...

He wants me to like him, to give birth to his children, and to trap me forever...

"How about we...be boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Seeing that he was silent, Yin Tingxue asked in a low voice,
"You are good at martial arts, well-read, and can cook. I really want to be your girlfriend..."

After she finished speaking, she felt a little desperate because Chen Yi had not responded at all. She felt completely hopeless from the bottom of her heart.

After all, what is she hiding from? She is already this man's concubine. What's the point of running away? Can she really escape?
I've never escaped before!
Just when Yin Tingxue was in despair, Chen Yi's laughter came to her ears.

"Well, then I'll let you be my girlfriend."

Yin Tingxue was stunned, and her stiff back trembled and relaxed.

"Really, really?"

The mountains in the distance were blurry in the dark night, dotted with stars and shining brightly. The night was silent for a moment at this moment, and the monks' chanting stopped in the girl's ears, making everything seem unreal and hazy, as if in a dream.

Did he agree?

Yin Tingxue blinked and said in disbelief:

"I am your...girlfriend?"

Chen Yi smiled and hugged her: "Of course."

Yin Tingxue opened her mouth wide, and then burst out laughing. She escaped, she really escaped.

Moreover, she was not only a concubine, but also his friend. He would listen to her more in the future, wouldn't he have a higher status? Yes, he seemed very happy and hugged her tenderly.

The taut string suddenly loosened. Even though the cold wind blew from the mountaintop, she didn't feel cold. Hot tears welled up in Yin Tingxue's eyes. She cried with joy. She shouted into the wind:

"I'm your girlfriend now!"

Her feeling was indescribable. The cold wind was whistling, and the fallen leaves on the mountain top were rustling. The sky was full of stars.

Yin Tingxue was extremely excited at the moment, as if she had survived a disaster. She had been with Chen Yi for such a long time and had always suffered so many grievances, but this was the first time she was so happy.

"Who is my girlfriend?" Chen Yi asked in a gentle voice.

"Yin Tingxue is your girlfriend, Yin Yintai is your girlfriend!"

She repeated it with a silly smile.

She originally thought that she couldn't escape this time, and it would be difficult to talk to her this time, otherwise she couldn't think of any clever ideas to be friends with him. But she was saved from the desperate situation, and he actually let her go this time. Avalokitesvara, are you performing a ritual?

Chen Yi looked at her with a smile and asked:

"Isn't that little fox my girlfriend?"

The girl pushed Chen Yi away slightly and stood on the top of the mountain. The cold wind made her shrink her body. Behind her was a sky full of stars. She blushed and said shyly:

"Little Fox, Little Fox is your girlfriend too..."
