My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion
Chapter 136 - 116: You Can’t Even Be a Concubine

Chapter 136: Chapter 116: You Can’t Even Be a Concubine

Chen Yi lowered his eyes and saw the sleeping Zhou Yitang. Holding her, a sense of tenderness arose in his heart, but then it subsided.

"Alas."

Chen Yi sighed, his thoughts somewhat tangled and indescribable.

Perhaps, when Zhou Yitang faced him, she felt the same way, if not more deeply and entangled.

Chen Yi was unsure how to treat her.

A sword through the heart?

The thought flashed by but was gone in an instant.

She didn’t even slay her own three corpses, and in the end, she had nothing to lose, yet should he pierce her heart with a sword?

Moreover, along the way, she protected Yin Tingxue and Min Ning, thought of him, and never used the woman he cared about as a pawn.

As thoughts tangled, Chen Yi silently lowered his eyes.

Then, his pupils contracted slightly.

Zhou Yitang had personally broken her Ruoque Sword.

Chen Yi’s fingertips trembled a bit, then he gently wiped the blood from her lips.

He knew very well that now her rank had dropped significantly, and she was no longer the ninth in the world. Who knew how many decades it would take to regain her position.

But her rank dropped significantly; wasn’t that enough without teaching her a lesson?

Chen Yi held her, contemplating with his eyes downcast.

After a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and laughed.

"Why should I be so conflicted? Just go with the flow."

If he wanted to bully her, he would bully her. If he wanted to like her, he would like her. Why bother with teaching lessons or repaying grievances with kindness?

Once his thoughts cleared, Chen Yi was no longer conflicted.

Besides...

He also wanted this master... to support the bed with one hand...

Chen Yi pressed on her drooping single arm,

Recalling the way her icy face twitched.

He had best have the little fox watching, maybe even joining in. She seemed to admire this master a bit.

Chen Yi shook his head, laughing at his thoughts.

To say there was no hatred in his heart was impossible, but he was never one to be overflowing with hatred. If he were full of hatred, he wouldn’t have taken Yin Tingxue into his house back at the Prince Mansion.

After all... if he hadn’t also deeply fallen for her, he wouldn’t have come this far with her.

Chen Yi’s gaze softened a bit, and after thinking for a moment, he gently kissed her forehead.

It was unknown how much time passed.

The eyelid of the one-armed woman trembled slightly, and then she slowly raised her face to look at Chen Yi.

Then, her pupils contracted slightly.

She saw an indifferent, bone-chilling gaze.

Chen Yi slowly loosened his grip.

The one-armed woman swayed, gave him a bitter look, and then.

His obsession had been broken...

His thoughts vanished; it was all her doing,

This is for the best...

The one-armed woman pushed him away, her fingers slightly trembling. Though she looked like she might collapse at any moment, she still stood firm.

When Chen Yi looked at her again, she remained calm and expressionless.

"Can’t kill anymore?"

Zhou Yitang did not respond.

"Aren’t you afraid?"

"Afraid of what?" she asked calmly.

"That I would pierce your heart with a sword this moment."

Chen Yi said with a smile.

"You’d better do it."

Zhou Yitang lowered her eyes, not looking at him.

A sword piercing the heart, to her, seemed more like a release.

If he killed her, it would instead allow her to sweetly atone.

"I’ve lost you."

She suddenly spoke.

She broke his obsessive nature but didn’t sever his three corpses. She didn’t have to lose him, but in the end, she stopped.

Chen Yi quietly watched her for a while,

"You’re hurt."

"So what?"

"I’ve captured you."

Chen Yi said with ease:

"You’ve become my servant."

Zhou Yitang’s face drastically changed, almost turning into frost. After a while, her expression became complicated again.

"I said, even as a concubine, you couldn’t be."

Chen Yi mocked.

Oh... this foolish master who doesn’t know how to bow down.

"You’d better let me die."

The one-armed woman said blandly,

"You can still pierce my heart with a sword now."

After speaking, she paused and added:

"Do it anytime."

Chen Yi found it funny. He could guess what Zhou Yitang was thinking. At her most relaxed moment, when she thought they still had old feelings, when hope ignited, directly stabbing her heart with a sword, stirring and tearing it apart... whatever he did, she would willingly accept.

"What, at that moment, I would caress your face, and you would ask me: ’If you were going to kill me, why did you give me hope?’"

Chen Yi mimicked her tone in a few sentences and finally laughed mockingly:

"Zhou Zhuyu, that’s too uninteresting, too cliché."

Zhou Yitang remained silent.

"I know what you care about most in your heart, one is the sword, the other is... me."

Chen Yi stepped forward,

"Zhou Zhuyu, you broke your sword and didn’t get me."

The one-armed woman suddenly raised her eyes to stare at him, then smiled sadly,

"That’s as it should be."

But Chen Yi suddenly pulled her into his embrace,

"However, I got you."

Zhou Yitang stiffened in his embrace, her gaze obscure and unclear.

"Sorry, deceived you, Master, my obsession is back."

Chen Yi laughed mischievously:

"I had a backup plan after all."

The one-armed woman was initially dazed, her thin lips trembling, her eyes sore as if about to cry. The Sword Armor responded more softly than ever,

"Mm..."

Tenderness filled the air.

Snap!

Tears that were about to fall stopped, the one-armed woman’s pupils contracted abruptly, and then her eyes widened.

"Understand your position, Master."

Chen Yi teased her, laughing heartily:

"From now on, I want you to let me insult and defy my master at any time. Isn’t that much better?"

Zhou Yitang’s cheeks turned pale, her gaze lowered, she remained speechless.

He would no longer follow her wishes; she couldn’t get him anymore.

And now, it seemed she needed to learn how to go along with his wishes....

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

The gate of the yin-yang fish’s main burial chamber slowly pushed open from the inside outward.

Yin Tingxue craned her neck, eagerly waiting.

She was just waiting for a Chen Yi who had severed his three corpses, then he wouldn’t bully her anymore, and would allow her to leave with goodwill.

On the side, Min Ning was uneasy, occasionally tapping the bronze sword, but he didn’t dare to show his unease too obviously.

After all, that Lin Wanxiao was still standing there, hoping for Chen Yi to meet his demise.

Yin Weiyin heard the sound of the door opening, and his heart was overjoyed, yet he didn’t notice Yu Zhen Yuanjun’s terribly furrowed brows.

Yu Zhen Yuanjun pinched a hand seal, stepped forward introspectively.

What’s going on...

He wasn’t... broken free of his obsession?!

Yu Zhen Yuanjun suddenly opened his eyes, just about to step forward when, in the next instant, his figure instantly blurred and was suddenly dragged between extremely distant mountains and rivers!

At the extremely remote Penglai Fairy Island, the Penglai Daoist sensed something amiss and abruptly plunged his hand into the lake water.

The island’s bells still tolled, but the man’s expression had drastically changed, and the previously calm lake of sixty years was now in an uproar.

The small boat rocked amidst the waves of the lake, although the nun’s face changed slightly, it quickly became calm again. As the boat rose with the waves, turned and leaned sideways, she was like rowing against the current, yet remained unshakable.

On the Lake Heart Pavilion, the man was still the same man.

But under the lake, what was reflected was not the man’s face but an entirely snow-white, glass-like, unknown several-hundred-zhang tall Golden Body Dharma, with three flowers gathered at the crown, a face solemn beyond measure.

This was his Golden Body Dharma.

The Dharma seemed to be competing with someone, and Yu Zhen Yuanjun was as if nearly torn to pieces among the towering waves, like a little boat.

When the waves settled, Yu Zhen Yuanjun fell into the Dharma’s hand, yet his image was indistinct, his Primordial Spirit injured, looking almost like a bloody man, and the Dharma itself had an almost unnoticeable crack, which slowly mended after quite some time.

The lake returned to calmness, the bell’s sound was as clear and distant as a crane’s cry.

Swaying the oar, the nun navigated the small boat through the lotus blossoms, arriving before the Lake Heart Pavilion.

"Who is it?"

She asked indifferently.

The man’s eyes closed, seated right where he was, he softly sighed,

"The Tushan Clan..."

"I fear not entirely."

The nun slowly exposed him:

"The Tushan Clan is trapped in the underground palace, no matter how great their cultivation is, it wouldn’t shake your Penglai Fairy Island."

The man smiled faintly and said:

"I couldn’t hide it from you.

This person is closely related to the Tushan Clan."

The nun nodded slightly, not minding his intentional misleading.

Buddhism asks monks not to tell lies, while Taoism asks Taoists not to speak carelessly.

Lies, careless words, a difference of one character.

"Then, who is this person?"

The nun asked.

"Tushan’s husband,"

The man softly uttered,

"Lord of mountains and rivers, Dayu."

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

In the underground palace.

With her face upturned, the little fox saw him approaching.

The latter showed her a broad smile before reaching out his hand.

He was still him, the tall shadow enveloping her entire being,

Yin Tingxue was about to cry, resignedly leaning towards him.

"Did you miss me?"

"Yes..."

Then,

Snap!

"Don’t hit me, I’m telling the truth..."

"Oh? Sorry, then shall I blow it for you?"

"...Don’t do this, okay..."

Yin Tingxue was uneasy in her heart; her "miss" wasn’t the kind he wanted, but he... always saw through it.

She was his, always had been his...
