My enemies became my companions

Chapter 657 Still Halfway Through (Part 2)

"Not running away anymore? Yin Weiying?"

Every word felt like it was striking her heart.

The female Taoist priest stiffly turned her head back, while the man strolled leisurely, and the red dragon grew more and more proud, as if it were about to leap out.

She felt a strange pain in her face for no reason, thinking she had been hit by a flick, but when she came to her senses, she realized it was phantom pain.

"Ok?"

That nasal sound sent a shiver down her spine.

"Where did your boldness go? Weren't you going to use me as your alchemy vessel to help you achieve eternal immortality?"

His voice suddenly rose, and he pressed on:

Why aren't you coming?

Yin Weiying trembled violently, his face rapidly losing all color, shaking like a leaf. The immense fear and despair completely crushed Yin Weiying's last shred of hope.

We can't escape... We're doomed!

Having been with Chen Yi for so many years, how could she not know his ways? Even when he was still a furnace for cultivation, his methods were utterly cruel. After marriage, he became obsessed with himself, and out of consideration for their marital bond, he began to restrain himself. The most serious example was when he brewed chrysanthemum tea at Longhu Mountain last time, but this time…

Falling into the hands of this unfortunate and ignorant man, especially under his rage, the consequences... would be unimaginable...

Chen Yi, with a somber and cold expression, stepped into the air and approached step by step. The female Taoist priest stopped in mid-air, with nowhere to retreat, and her eyes had already lost their focus.

When he was right in front of him, a flood of memories rushed through his mind, and Yin Weiying suddenly had a plan.

Just as Chen Yi's hand was about to touch her trembling shoulder, Yin Weiying shuddered violently, all the light in her eyes vanished instantly, leaving them empty and confused. She remained motionless for a long time, then suddenly shuddered again, a different kind of light flashing in her eyes.

"Chen, Chen Yi...you, what are you doing here?"

She looked as if she had just woken up, her eyes were somewhat cloudy, and her body swayed slightly, as if she had no idea what had just happened.
"Did you come looking for me? Lin Wan-guan and I have been waiting on the mountain for... I don't know how long..."

Wait, I think... I'm not quite clear-headed.

In her confusion, she subtly revealed a hint of surprise, even tilting her head slightly, trying to appear as if she was struggling to recall but had no idea what was going on. Her eyes perfectly conveyed a sense of fear and dependence.

Chen Yi paused slightly, glancing down at Yin Weiying.

She seemed completely lost.

Yin Weiying looked up blankly and met his gaze. Suddenly, her body swayed and she seemed about to fall from the sky. Before she could fall completely, a pair of hands caught her and carried her in a princess carry.

She looked up and saw that his expression had calmed down a bit. He said gently, "It's alright, it's alright."

Yin Weiying's eyes flashed with a glint of light.
They've managed to hide it again!
But to avoid being discovered by Chen Yi, she deliberately lowered her face, her eyes conveying a hint of expectation and dependence.

"Where is this?" she asked, bewildered.

Chen Yi brought her down from the sky, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he led her into a small building. For some reason, Yin Weiying suddenly had a bad feeling.

He led Yin Weiying to the hall, where the female Taoist priest looked up and stared at him for a moment.

Yin Weiying's head was suddenly pressed down, and her whole body was involuntarily arched up. Her head went white for a moment, and she trembled for several breaths, not knowing what had happened. Before she could come to her senses, Kang Jian struck out with a heavy blow!

"are you awake?"

call!
Yin Weiying's eyes suddenly rolled upwards, and he was completely stunned. Just as his eyes returned to their normal position, they were suddenly drawn back upwards.

"Still not awake?"

Chen Yi said coldly:
"Looks like he's not quite awake yet."

Having said that, he was about to strike again with his sword.

"I'm awake! I'm awake!"

"Stop picking! I'm sober now! I'm sober now!"

Just moments ago, Yin Weiying was completely bewildered and unaware of the nature of the world. In an instant, he regained his senses, his expression became clear, his eyes suddenly brightened, and he no longer felt the loss of his soul.

Her eyes were filled with terror. She tried to lift her head and break free from the stinging pain, but Chen Yi pounced on her even more, pinning her down completely.

"Hmm? The Immortal Path will last forever?!" His voice was exceptionally cold. "Yin Weiying, how much cultivation do you think you can retain today?"

………………

………………

The place was a complete mess, and Chen Yi couldn't bear to look at it.

Chen Yi withdrew his gaze. Since he couldn't bear to look directly at it, he decided not to.

He showed no mercy, and instead, just as he had treated Yin Weiying before their marriage, he was utterly ruthless.

Before giving her his true heart, Chen Yi was always wary of her. After giving her his true heart, he realized that she would never betray him again, and she became devoted to him. He gradually became more gentle and lenient. After they got married, he became even more so. Although the tea-making process seemed extremely miserable, he never used Yin Weiying to replenish his essence.

After this experience, he finally realized that he should never let his guard down around this clueless woman.

No matter how much she likes or is obsessed with her, Da Yin's nature is like this: old habits die hard. Given the chance, she will take the lead and never knows what it means to bow down.

There were some footsteps outside the door. Chen Yi straightened his clothes and looked up to see a woman in a black python robe slowly walking out. Because she was eight feet tall, she blocked most of the sunlight outside the door, and the ends of her hair were only a few inches away from the door frame.

Her serpentine eyes swept coldly over the female Taoist priest on the ground, then shifted back to Chen Yi. She asked casually:
"You like it this way?"

Chen Yi blinked slightly.

Qin Qingluo's sudden question caught him off guard, but after thinking about what had happened between them in the past, it wasn't too bad...

She doesn't seem to shy away from mentioning the past.

Chen Yi wasn't embarrassed at all, and nodded, saying, "This humble official is indeed delighted with this posture. In this way, it gives the feeling that the woman is completely subdued."

"...Is this also the case when subordinates disobey their superiors?"

"This is especially true when subordinates disobey their superiors."

Upon receiving this reply, which was neither entirely honest nor entirely rude, the female prince was not angered; instead, she burst into laughter.

Chen Yi smiled and laughed for a while, and then there was an inexplicable silence between the two.

Sometimes I'm afraid the air will suddenly fall silent, and at that moment, neither of us nor any third party knows what to do.

People like Yin Weiying, who have already passed out, are not worth worrying about.

Chen Yi raised his head, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Qin Qingluo lowered her heroic brows and asked first, "At that time, why didn't you go with the flow?" She paused, smiled and said decisively, "Why hesitate so much? If you had gone with the flow, I would have respected you as a great man. Anyway, you should have some confidence in this Princess Jing. You know that she may not be sure about me, but she will never do anything too extreme to you."

Chen Yi pursed his lips and remained silent. Only after hearing Qin Qingluo's words did he realize that he seemed to have missed something.

She opened her arms wide and said with a smile:
"I will not be embarrassed at all."

Chen Yi took a deep breath and replied, "That's true, but who can truly know the mind of an emperor?"

"I'd like to take this opportunity to get rid of the prince, but what would I do afterward? Qin Yue is here, Zhu E is here, and you're still here... How would we get along in the future? I imagine the prince will never give me a single bit of his heart again." He paused, staring directly into Qin Qingluo's terrifying snake-like eyes.
"That's why I hesitated and couldn't bring myself to do it."

The prince keeps talking about being ruthless and decisive, but what a person like the prince truly fears are precisely those who are cold-hearted, ungrateful, and cruel.

Qin Qingluo's snake-like eyes narrowed slightly, and her voice became calmer as she said, "It seems you won't be so stupid as to seek your own death in the future."

The two were only about ten steps apart, neither too close nor too far. At this distance, Qin Qingluo could look down at him and feel close without being harmed, while Chen Yi could also look up at her. As long as he stood up, she would be within reach.

"Has Your Highness finally seen through me this time?"

"I see clearly," Qin Qingluo paused, then said calmly, "No matter what, you will never threaten me. Just remember this: even if I wanted to kill you, with Qin Yue here, I would never kill you."

Although this sentence wasn't particularly intimate, Chen Yi sensed a different meaning in it.

Indeed, she used to often fail to understand what Chen Yi was thinking, simply because he lacked ambition and his actions were often out of control. But it was precisely him who gave her the greatest setback of her life. However, he was actually not hard to understand.

It is precisely because he has no ambition to conquer the world and is indecisive about the word "emotion" and cannot make a decisive decision when necessary that he is the best minister.

Chen Yi smiled and got up.

Qin Qingluo took the first step.

In the blink of an eye, as if struck by wind and thunder, Chen Yi's vision blurred, and she was already pressing down in front of him, looking down at him with lowered eyes. The strong wind belatedly whipped through his hair.

A hand pressed down on his shoulder, and the immense force pushed Chen Yi back into the chair.

The female prince's lips curled coldly as she casually lifted the half-closed lid, her snake-like eyes fixed on him.
suck.

suck.

suck.

Yin Tingxue held up her water pouch, having just finished a hearty meal, and began to sip water little by little.

Her face was so small that the water sac covered half of it, which Chen Yi always teased her about, saying her face was too small.

What's wrong with letting him have his fun?
If he gets his way, he'll have to go even harder next time. With her small frame, she can't handle it if he doesn't go easy on her.

If he never does that kind of thing with me again and just stays with me forever, that would be so wonderful. Although it's unlikely that he'll never do it again, I'll still try to do it very occasionally, like once when others do it ten or a hundred times.

Fortunately, she seems to be getting closer and closer to that kind of life.

"There's Sister Weiying, Madam Lin, Consort Dong, and maybe even Master Zhou. Oh, and who knows, there might even be the Prince and Princess."

Thinking about how many people were blocking his way, and how difficult it would be for him to get a turn, the little fox raised his eyebrows, a little excited.

"What are you so happy about?"

Turning around, I suddenly heard Master Zhou's clear and cold voice.

Yin Tingxue quickly stopped herself from speaking. She dared not voice these thoughts; it would be too embarrassing. She whispered, "I...I miss him..."

After saying that, she added ingratiatingly, "He must be thinking of you."

Zhou Yitang: "..."

The one-armed woman was indifferent to joy or sorrow, so she couldn't possibly hold a grudge against Yin Tingxue. She only briefly recalled that when she saw him capture Yin Weiying, she withdrew her spiritual consciousness.

It seems that it wasn't just him who was so engrossed in the moment that he forgot about Ying; in his current high spirits, many others were also lost in the moment.
Although I knew from the beginning that this traitor's actions were absurd, in my heart, I would let him do whatever he wanted.

Seeing that Zhou Yitang hadn't answered for a long time, Yin Tingxue's ears twitched slightly, catching something, and she said apologetically, "Master Zhou, I... I can't control him..."

"It's none of your business."

"Yes, Master Zhou is in charge."

"It's none of my business."

Yin Tingxue nodded again... She had always wanted to learn this trick, hoping it would make Chen Yi happy for a long time someday, but she just couldn't learn it.

Stop thinking about it.

Zhou Yitang waved her hand, casually extinguishing the campfire, and led Yin Tingxue to gaze at the distant mountains, saying:
"Coming."

Yin Tingxue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned around to look at her senior sister, Lu Ying.

The little fox was inexplicably excited.
Is her destiny with Lu Ying over there?

.....................

Yin Weiying opened her eyes groggily, and when she looked up, she saw the wooden ceiling. At this moment, her head was still very dizzy, as if she had really lost her memory.

She was in a daze for a while before suddenly waking up. That was her last resort; she had used it two or three times already, and he hadn't even noticed.
This time, however, he still slipped up.
Just as Zhuge Liang lit the Seven Star Lamp, the failure of this plan was due to fate.

Yin Weiying was not discouraged. It was just one defeat. Given time, he would have a chance to get his hands on him.

"This is……"

Before the person could even move an inch, just by turning their head, they saw that he was already looking over.

The female Taoist priest suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and a tingling pain shot through her waist and hips.

After a long while, she called out timidly, "Husband..."

"Ah."

His coldness was hard for Yin Weiying to accept. She tried to shift her body, but the pain kept throbbing.

What happened before seems like a dream.

A series of scenes flashed before his eyes: a celestial palace, maids, flowing light and flying flowers... and finally, he was caught up and pinned down in the hall. Yin Weiying was startled. When he looked up again, there was not a trace of true emotion in Chen Yi's eyes.

She shivered inexplicably.

"What are you doing here?" After a long while, she suddenly heard him ask, as if he were interrogating her.

Yin Weiying found it hard to adapt, but one look from him was enough to make her wilted. After thinking for a moment, she realized that things had come to this point, and she decided to give in first. After a long while, she whispered:
"At that moment... suddenly a light, as bright as a shooting star, came to me. I touched it, and it swallowed me up... and then... I arrived at that place."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately inquired in more detail. Yin Weiying dared not disobey and explained many details one by one, but most of these details were of little use.

Chen Yi frowned, reached out and patted her head, then suddenly asked:
"You've repaired the Bridge of Immortality?"

Yin Weiying was initially puzzled, but then a chill spread from his coccyx.

however,
Chen Yi released his grip.

"Let's fix it then."

Yin Weiying stared at him in astonishment. He slowly got up and left, no longer asking about her affairs, and went to find Qin Qingluo.

As his figure gradually disappeared from sight, she felt a mix of emotions that were hard to describe.

What's wrong with him...?

Yin Weiying endured the pain and curled up on the bed.
Did I accidentally...?

My Daoist partner... has become my enemy?
