How to capture the system fairies as wives

Chen Yin rarely bullied her, but said kindly: "I know you are anxious to see your brother."

"But it is common knowledge that the Cangzhe Ancient Territory is more dangerous at night than during the day. Do you think it's worth it to risk your life just to save time?"

"We've made it this long. One more night won't make a difference," he whispered.

Qingying lowered her head for a rare moment, her red lips trembling, and finally she just nodded weakly.

"Let's find a place to rest for the night."

In this kind of town where monks stay, there are the most inns and restaurants.

But for some reason tonight, Chen Yin went to three or four inns, all of which were full. Finally, he found an inn with a vacant room, but not only was there only one room left, the innkeeper also held out five fingers.

"Five hundred spirit stones a night."

"Five hundred!?" Chen Yin's eyes widened. "Why the hell don't you just go and rob it?"

"Little brother, these two days are the peak season. The precious lights of the Cangzhe Ancient Domain are appearing frequently, and it is obvious that many opportunities have emerged."

The boss smiled and said, "Basically all the inns are full. My inn is the only one left, which is not bad."

"But aren't all the people here monks? If your price is so high, won't they just sleep outdoors?"

"It is indeed possible for ordinary people. However..."

He chuckled and gave him a look that said, "Little brother, you've brought a female companion with you."

"You're not going to sleep outdoors and do anything in the middle of the night and be seen by others, right?"

Chen Yin turned his head, Luoluo lowered her head with a slightly red face, while Qingying looked absent-minded and didn't listen to their conversation at all.

All she could think about was how to get into the Cangzhe Ancient Domain as quickly as possible.

"You are so cruel." Chen Yin said gritting his teeth.

"Thank you for your patronage~" the shopkeeper said with a smile.

121. My face is covered with tears

It was not until she entered the house that Qingying realized what was going on and could not help but frown:

"Only one room?"

"no way."

Chen Yin also spread his hands helplessly: "We are lucky to have this one."

"That bastard shopkeeper is asking for too much, he actually asked me for 500 spirit stones for one night. It's really hard to make money this fast even if you rob me." He said angrily. In his mind, he was already thinking about whether he should open an inn here and collect money.

Qingying just frowned slightly and said bluntly: "I'll sleep on the roof."

"Save it."

Chen Yin pointed to the ceiling and said, "There are many people who think the same as you. There are also many people on the roof."

"If you don't want to get together with a bunch of unfamiliar monks, you'd better stay here."

Qingying glanced at him hesitantly, then glanced at Luoluo.

As if knowing what she was worried about, Chen Yin coughed dryly and said shamelessly:

"Don't worry, we won't do anything bad."

...I can't do it even if I want to.

In fact, the most depressed person about this matter was Chen Yin. He and Luo Luo were originally in a good world of their own, but there had to be an extra light bulb standing by with a cold face to cool them down.

The happy night begins and ends with the sight of Qingying.

Qingying didn't say anything more, but walked to the corner behind the door, leaned against the wall with her arms folded, and slowly closed her eyes.

-

"…Speaking of that young master, he finally cured his beloved girl's illness, but he once again had to endure the pain of separation from her."

In the evening, Chen Yin held Luoluo in his arms and told stories as usual, and his eyes would occasionally move to Qingying.

Qingying actually did not move from the moment she leaned there, like a sculpture.

Chen Yin was curious, wouldn’t her legs get tired from standing all the time?

Luoluo leaned in his arms and listened with great interest. Soon her eyelids began to droop and she fell asleep not long after.

Chen Yin stopped disturbing her. He carried her to the bed, covered her with the quilt, and smoothed her hair with a gentle look.

"...Are you done with all that?" Qingying's cold voice came from behind.

"I told you." Chen Yin turned his head with an innocent look on his face, "If you're envious, you can beg me."

"I can reluctantly give you a hug out of mercy."

Qingying sneered, turned her head and stopped talking.

Chen Yin sat back at the table, poured a cup of tea and drank it to moisten his throat, then said casually:

"We have arrived at the gate of the Cangzhe Ancient Domain. Let me ask you again. Are you really ready to accept the news of your brother's death?"

"…What if he's not dead?"

"There's no such thing as an emergency." Chen Yin's eyes were dim, and his voice sounded like he was talking to himself.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because I watched him die with my own eyes."

Qingying's eyes widened.

"How--"

"Don't ask." Chen Yin raised his teacup and turned his head indifferently. "You will know if you go and see it."

Qingying slowly lowered her head, and a hint of sadness unconsciously appeared in her beautiful eyes.

“…I just can’t.”

She said in a barely audible voice: "Are you kidding me?"

"Just give me a glimmer of hope."

Chen Yin said seriously: "Of course I can lie to you. I can lie to you that your brother is still alive, and that as long as you enter the Cangzhe Ancient Domain, you can reunite with your brother."

"Then why didn't you lie to me?"

"Because I can really take you to the Cangzhe Ancient Territory."

He said silently: "A lie is only a lie when it is exposed. When it is not exposed, it is the truth."

"You don't want to experience the pain of the truth collapsing. That might be more painful than your brother dying in front of you."

Qingying looked at him melancholy, unable to speak for a long time.

"Rest early. We will enter the secret realm early tomorrow morning."

After he finished speaking, he was about to stand up, but he heard Qingying calling him: "Wait a moment."

"Can... I sleep later?" She looked hesitant and uncertain.

This was the first time Chen Yin heard Qingying's voice so soft and gentle.

Unlike her previous cold appearance, she now looks like a confused little girl.

She crossed her arms, staring aimlessly at the ground, her long, beautiful eyelashes half drooped.

Chen Yin was silent for a moment and nodded.

"If you're really too nervous to sleep, you can try the same thing as Luo Luo."

He said quietly, "I can tell you a story."

Qingying frowned, seeming somewhat dissatisfied with his child-like way of coaxing him.

But after hesitating for a while, she walked over to Chen Yin and sat down, raising her head.

"...You go ahead and tell me."

"What story do you want to hear?"

"It's what you just told Luo Luo." She blinked, "I want to hear the sequel."

"it is good."

Chen Yin continued the story he had just told. Although the content of the story was a bit melodramatic, it was very sensational.

Qingying just listened quietly, her eyes fixed on Chen Yin's face. Looking at his serious expression, she recalled the past in a trance.

……

In the dilapidated and leaky temple, a little boy in thin and ragged clothes, with pale lips and a sickly flushed face, was lying on a pile of straw, shivering with an uncomfortable look on his face, and said in a weak voice:

"Sister, I have a headache..."

"Achen, go to sleep quickly. The pain won't go away when you fall asleep."

The little girl, who was also dressed in tattered clothes and was skinny, gritted her teeth, not knowing how to ease his pain. She could only force herself to smile and touch his head as if to comfort him.

"Sister will tell you a story, and Ah Chen will fall asleep after listening to it, so you won't feel uncomfortable, okay?"

The little boy closed his eyes tightly and nodded.

The little girl said softly: "Once upon a time, there was an oil-paper umbrella."

It's raining.

The oil-paper umbrella opened.

……

When the sound of birds singing for the first time in the early morning sounded, Qingying woke up suddenly.

"Awake?" A gentle voice came into my ear.

Chen Yin was holding the teacup and sipping it.

Only then did Qingying realize that she had fallen asleep leaning on his shoulder.

"you!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't start spitting blood at me." Chen Yin said innocently, "You came here on your own. I have no ill intentions towards you."

"Besides, you were such a light sleeper, so I didn't dare to move all night so as not to disturb you. My body is almost stiff."

Qingying's expression changed several times, and finally she just turned her head away slowly and suppressed her embarrassed expression.

Chen Yin sighed again and said, "I didn't know you were such a bad sleeper."

"What did you see?" Qingying suddenly became alert.

"Nothing. Just talking in your sleep and drooling."

After saying this, he glanced at his wet shoulders in a casual manner.

In an instant, all the blood pressure rushed to Qingying's head.

"I……"

Her face felt hot and she finally just stretched out her hand, turned her head away and said, "Give me the clothes. I'll wash them for you."

"it is good."

As he spoke, Chen Yin was about to take off his clothes, and Qingying was so angry that she quickly said, "Don't take them off in front of me!"

For fear of waking up Luoluo who was still sleeping, Qingying tried her best to lower her voice, looking particularly funny and cute.

Chen Yin couldn't help but chuckle, and then said leisurely and jokingly: "Okay. It will take a long time for you to finish washing the clothes."

"Wait until Luo Luo wakes up, I'll change my clothes and get ready to enter the secret realm."

It was still early, the dawn had not yet fully risen, and the two of them sat there in silence, looking at each other again.

Qingying Line couldn't help but steal a few glances at him, and finally just asked in a low voice:

"What did I say in my sleep last night?"

"I forgot." Chen Yin blinked honestly.

"You, why are you still hiding this from me?"

"Wouldn't you be embarrassed if I told you?"
