My enemies became my companions

Chapter 714 Past
"What happened in the past?" Chen Yi hesitated slightly, as if unsure where to begin.
Yin Tingxue, who had been deeply hostile before, finally softened her stance.

Chen Yi looked down at the girl in front of him, and the past scenes flashed by like floating clouds.

He seemed, probably, possibly had a little something wrong with the little fox in the past...

Although it was only a few things... Chen Yi thought for a moment, if he really told all those things one by one, wouldn't this Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect turn on him and draw her sword on the spot?

She had finally softened somewhat, but now her mind is unstable again...

He saw how distraught Yin Tingxue was at that time, and after much deliberation, Chen Yi made up his mind.

He leaned down and chuckled softly, "If you really want to know about the past, it's not impossible. But..."

His voice was very soft, but he deliberately paused on the word "only".

"You have to promise me you won't get angry anymore."

Yin Tingxue's eyebrows twitched slightly.

"Why should I agree to that?" Her tone was still cold, but the end of her voice carried a hint of weariness.

Chen Yi smiled but did not answer. He simply raised his hand and brushed away a strand of hair from her temple, the movement as light as caressing a dream.

“Because you want to know too,” he said.

Yin Tingxue's heart suddenly tightened.

Yes, she did want to know. Although she had guessed before, guesses were just guesses. She was not as arrogant as Sister Ying, and she still needed to find out indirectly.

As for Sister Ying... never mind, never mind her.

“Okay,” she said softly, “then you go ahead.”

Chen Yi looked at the girl in front of him and knew that she had sealed her memories away because she didn't want to face those shocks. The memories that flooded her mind back then still haunted her.
The little fox is still a little fox after all; it has too much cleverness. In any case, this is just the little fox's little attempt to escape.

However, compared to her, who could go with the flow and influence things subtly, the current Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect was clearly much less skilled.

"Of course I'll say that, don't rush me."

Chen Yi smiled slightly.
Give me a kiss first.

Yin Tingxue's eyes widened upon hearing this, a hint of shame and anger welling up within her. She suppressed it and whispered:

"Didn't that just happen a moment ago?"

"Just now... sigh, I forced you. I told you it was for your own good, I shouldn't have forced you like that. I feel a little guilty after thinking about it."

As Chen Yi spoke, he finally sighed.
"This time, I still want to wait until you are willing."

Yin Tingxue was naturally unwilling, "Then I won't kiss you."

Chen Yi sighed and said, "Then I won't say anything more."

"you!"

The Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect was nearly driven to despair by the sheer rage before her; she had never imagined that the person before her could be so shameless.

Yet his shamelessness felt strangely familiar to her, as if she had long been accustomed to it.

Yin Tingxue was stung by this sense of familiarity, and those unruly thoughts resurfaced.

Forget it, I guess I'll just go along with him. He's always like this; he won't stop until he gets something out of people...

This extremely weak thought resurfaced, and the Holy Maiden of the Demonic Sect felt a deep sense of frustration just from noticing it, yet she was helpless to do anything about it.

Seeing her silence, Chen Yi's smile deepened, and he said slowly, "I knew it, little fox, you're all bark and no bite."

Yin Tingxue glared at him fiercely, her lips pressed together until they turned white.

That one look contained so much: shame, anger, and a wavering she herself was unaware of.

He stopped pressuring her, and simply moved closer, close enough for her to clearly hear the rhythm of his breathing, his breath brushing against her skin. "I'll count to three. If you still refuse, then we'll give up."

One...two..."

He didn't count to three.

Yin Tingxue tilted her head slightly and awkwardly leaned in, her lips touching hers like a feather.

With just a light touch, he immediately retreated.

"Now look what happened..." she said coldly.

Chen Yi touched his lips, still wanting more, then smiled and said, "How can just one kiss be considered willing?"

Yin Tingxue's almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise.

How can there be such shameless people in the world!
It is best not to make enemies in this world. If you do make enemies, it is a blessing in disguise to have a decisive and ruthless person as your enemy, but it is a great misfortune to have a shameless person as your enemy.

She clenched her fists, but there was nothing she could do about him. A sudden tightness gripped her heart; she could never do anything to him. Whatever he wanted, she could only give him.

You couldn't escape it before, and you can't escape it now.

She simply turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

But the scent still lingered on his neck, seemingly there yet not there, leaving him hesitant and undecided.

Chen Yi smiled, seeing right through her thoughts. In truth, he was aware of his own shamelessness, but if he weren't shameless, how could he have gotten involved in this forced marriage and enjoyed the blessings of having two wives?

"Okay, I'm not teasing you anymore." Chen Yi chuckled softly, reaching out to tidy her sideburns.

His fingertips were warm, with a very subtle tremor.

“If I truly want you to do it willingly, it’s not about this.”

Yin Tingxue was taken aback, as if she hadn't understood.

Chen Yi's hand slowly slid down:

"You've sealed your memories, but how can you seal the sensitive parts of your body?"

As Yin Tingxue was wondering, she suddenly shuddered and stood up straight.

Chen Yi smiled at her, and Yin Tingxue felt a sudden, inexplicable panic, but she didn't have time to back away.
He suddenly poked her soft flesh at the waist again.

Yin Tingxue's legs were taut, and she was about to fall backward when Chen Yi gently caught her.

That soft spot has always been Yin Tingxue's weakness. Although the little fox is incredibly skilled in Tai Chi soft kung fu and can subtly manipulate her, she still has a weakness.

Sometimes Chen Yi liked to suddenly attack like this, and then look at Yin Tingxue's pitiful face as she turned around.

It's always fun to tease a little fox, but now that she's obedient and knows how to use her tricks, it makes me feel guilty to tease her. Chen Yi really wants to go back to the days when he was a husband and wife, but he can't even bring himself to be ruthless to Yin Weiying, let alone Yin Tingxue.

The Holy Maiden of the Demonic Cult's cheeks first lost all color, then belatedly flushed red. She glared at Chen Yi for a long while before saying:

"You can say it now."

"It's actually quite simple, so let's keep it short. Well..."

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, then slowly smiled and said:
"Actually, when your family was raided, I didn't do anything to you. On the contrary, I saved you, took you away from the Prince's mansion, and kept you by my side disguised as a concubine."

The way he spoke so calmly and casually at the beginning caught Yin Tingxue off guard. She frowned and asked, "And then?"

"Later, things were simple, just like in the storybooks. At first, you didn't like me and I didn't like you, but as time went by, we fell in love.

Chen Yi patted his trousers, then looked up and said:
"Shall we walk and talk as we go?"
