My enemies became my companions

Chapter 702 Ignorance in the Heart
"Chen Yi, are you sure she really is Yin Tingxue?"

Donggong Ruoshu floated over nervously and landed in front of Chen Yi.

She lowered her voice, glancing inside repeatedly as she spoke, as if afraid the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult might suddenly rush out and tear her apart.

This place is so eerie, I'm afraid we won't even be able to be ghosts anymore.

The Yin Tingxue before them had undergone a complete personality change, and was completely different from the girl Chen Yi used to call "Little Fox." Apart from their appearance, they bore little resemblance.

Unfortunately, appearance is the most deceptive thing in the world.

"Chen Yi, don't be fooled by her. Who knows... there might be some evil spirit inside," Donggong Ruoshu quickly advised when he didn't answer.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi snapped out of his reverie, chuckled, and shook his head. He wanted to say something, but after thinking for a moment, he didn't reply.

The silly girl frowned. How come she could see that something was wrong, but Chen Yi couldn't? Could it be that he was blinded by lust again?
Seeing that she looked dissatisfied and wanted to persuade him again, Chen Yi thought for a moment and quickly said, "I know what I'm doing."

If he didn't say that quickly, this silly girl might not be able to control herself and let her wish come true again. Last time it was a close call, but this time it's hard to say what might happen.

Donggong Ruoshu glanced at him suspiciously and muttered, "Just don't let lust cloud your judgment."

Chen Yi naturally shook his head. Blinded by lust? What did they take him for?

He is confident that he is not blinded by lust, and he has more self-control, so he is naturally somewhat blinded by lust.

Chen Yi turned his head and glanced back at the quiet room. The fierce look in her eyes flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost. After being killed by her back then, he was reborn and went to find her to seek revenge.

Later, he got his wish and she became his concubine. Although he tried every means to escape, he eventually gave in to her. The flower fell in an instant, but there was not much joy in it. Chen Yi felt more sorrow in his heart.

She should have been able to avenge her great grudge. She killed him with such pleasure and satisfaction. Why did she feel this way when she faced her?
Chen Yi had wanted to sleep with her many times, but each time he was either unsatisfied or couldn't bring himself to do it. After much thought, besides the little fox's petite frame and unwillingness to yield, what he regretted even more was that her pitiful appearance made him lack the desire to conquer her.
It's really hard to make someone hard-hearted.

Later, their relationship improved, and after they got married, they had more of the romantic feelings that characterized a harmonious marriage.

Now that the familiar yet unfamiliar Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult has reappeared, Chen Yi thought about it and, intentionally or unintentionally, aroused a few traces of lust.

But after thinking about it, I stopped myself.

It wasn't the right time, and the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult before him... Chen Yi wasn't without doubts and struggles. He also had some doubts about what Donggong Ruoshu was worried about. However, no matter what, he never wanted to do that kind of thing to the little fox again.

Unable to resist the little fox's pleas, they made a promise that they would treat her better in the next life, since she was going to be with him for ten lifetimes.

Who knows, the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult before us might be her reincarnation from some point in time?
After an unknown amount of time, some movement came from inside the door. The woman in the black robe pushed open the door and came out, clearly having changed her clothes. Her expression was cold and stern. Chen Yi stared at her, suddenly finding that his little fox was still uniquely cute when she had a cold face.

Yin Tingxue seemed extremely disgusted by his gaze, and with a cold snort, she spoke directly upon meeting him:

"Now that things have come to this, it seems that many things are no longer easy to hide. I hope you will not hide anything from me either, as we are now in a cooperative relationship."

Her voice carried a deliberate aloofness.

"Yes, we'll live and die together."

"..."

Seeing her pause for a moment, Chen Yi smiled at her, "Did I say something wrong?" Yin Tingxue said after a moment, "Let's get straight to the point. This place... I've been here before, I believe you've noticed, and the scenery we saw along the way was all..."

"Your memories?"

Yin Tingxue hesitated for a moment, and unexpectedly, she didn't ask "How did you know?", but instead nodded slightly after a moment.
"good."

“It seems I was right, little fox. That woman just now, wasn’t she your mother? She is the Medicine Bodhisattva, and your mother is one of her incarnations.”

Yin Tingxue suddenly looked up and stared at Chen Yi in astonishment.

Chen Yi just smiled and said slowly, "Don't be too surprised, little fox. I know exactly how many hairs you have on your body."

He… said something lewd again… Yin Tingxue shook her head, stopping her thoughts, and ignored it, saying:

“The world of ignorance, which is the opposite of the world of knowledge, is the abode of the Lord of Resentment. The one who wandered above you and me before was the Lord of Resentment.”

As soon as he heard the words, Chen Yi immediately dropped his playful demeanor and became serious.

Lord of Resentment...

This name is shrouded in secrecy in the few words of the scriptures of the Ming and An sects. It is not an ordinary demon, but a ruler that is completely opposed to the supreme Mingzun. In the ancient legends of the divine religion, it was not created, but appeared at the same time as the Mingzun from the primordial nothingness, and is like the existence of Mara, the demon Buddha in Buddhist scriptures.

Seeing his solemn expression, Yin Tingxue knew he understood the danger involved, so she said gently, "Don't worry, it didn't really notice us. It was just that we were new to it and caused a little commotion. It was just a patrol. But next time, we might not be so lucky. The Lord of Resentment cannot be communicated with, nor can it be understood by common sense."

Chen Yi frowned and asked, "Unable to communicate?"

“Wisdom lies in clarity, ignorance in darkness.” Yin Tingxue’s voice lowered. “The Lord of Resentment acts on ignorance and feeds on ignorance. It has no reason, no soul. Its very existence is a huge mass of ignorance that is constantly devouring. If you encounter it, do not take chances. Annihilation will happen in an instant.”

Her gaze swept past Chen Yi and landed on the desolate, gray sky outside the window, as if she could see the terrifying beings blindly roaming within it.

After a long while, she murmured, "I've faced it once."

Chen Yi suddenly looked up.

Yin Tingxue gazed into the distance and said in a voice as calm as could be, "If it weren't for that, I'm afraid... I wouldn't even know how to kill someone."

Chen Yi lowered his gaze.

After a long while, he slowly asked, "Little fox, how could you..."

Yin Tingxue said coldly, "These things are none of your business, and I won't talk about them. I'm just warning you not to be disturbed by the ignorance in the world of ignorance. The world of ignorance may seem to grant your wishes, but in reality, what grants your wishes is the ignorance in your own heart."

As soon as he heard the words, Chen Yi suddenly realized that it made sense. No wonder he always felt that the wish fulfillment in the world of ignorance was particularly distorted, while the wish fulfillment of the Pure Saintess was completely different.

Whether it was Yang Chongwei's situation, or his own turning around and stabbing Qin Qingluo, or everything that happened along the way, it all stemmed from this.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Yin Tingxue again.

Actually, it just so happens that Yin Tingxue... is the source of his ignorance, and has always been so.
