My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 48 - 37 Crushing Winds and Slicing Rains

Chen Yi still didn’t rush to learn that one slash from Min Ning.

Among the reasons was not wanting to let her succeed, but more of it was due to the memory of that one-armed woman, Zhou Yitang.

He couldn’t forget this one-armed woman.

In the first archive, there were grudges between him and her.

She was his life-saving benefactor, and he had also taken her as a teacher to learn her sword.

But later, circumstances changed unpredictably, and the benefactor became an enemy.

Chen Yi couldn’t forget, in the heavy rain, how Zhou Yitang screamed her vow to the heavens that even in reincarnation she would make sure he had a terrible death.

Her grief-stricken face in the rain, he couldn’t forget.

Returning home, Chen Yi took off his outer garment, went to the bedroom, and saw Yin Tingxue reading by the lamplight.

This Demon Sect Saintess had mostly recovered from her illness.

Yin Tingxue saw him come in and instinctively shrank back a little.

"Master..." Yin Tingxue called softly, though reluctantly, yet she dared not neglect.

In the dim light, Chen Yi slowly approached, firmly embracing her waist.

Yin Tingxue trembled as she looked at him, her hand gently resisting, trying to get him to let her go.

But Chen Yi held her tighter, his breath made her feverish, she didn’t like it.

Chen Yi fondled the girl’s waist and ordered:

"Kiss me."

The sudden request sent a chill down Yin Tingxue’s back, her small hands frantically resisted him, refusing:

"No, I don’t want to."

Chen Yi, ignoring her resistance, held her tighter and softly said:

"Be good."

However, after hesitating, Yin Tingxue still shook her head.

Chen Yi gave her backside a smack, sneering:

"Want to be bullied thoroughly? After all, you’re the concubine."

Yin Tingxue’s cheeks turned pale, she pursed her lips, looked mournfully at Chen Yi, then trembled as she leaned in to kiss him.

"...Be more proactive."

She obediently took the initiative.

A moment later, their lips parted, Chen Yi looked at the embarrassed and aggrieved Yin Tingxue, patted her head, and said:

"Becoming more like a proper concubine now, little fox."

Yin Tingxue unconsciously murmured "Mm". freewёbnoνel.com

Chen Yi ruffled her hair, recalling that day, the fire burned fiercely in the treasure basin of Yintai Temple, and three thousand silver notes were all burned away, despair, humiliation, and sadness flashed in her eyes. Although all this was under coercion and temptation, even so, she was his, perhaps that’s what being a concubine means.

Chen Yi knew he wasn’t a good person, much less a righteous sect, and Yin Tingxue had once personally killed him, hence he would frequently threaten her, bully her, and ultimately... possess her as this concubine.

Chen Yi took a deep breath and said:

"I’m going to take a bath."

Yin Tingxue shrank further inward, trying to distance herself from him, and when Chen Yi’s figure disappeared, she picked up her book and soon got engrossed in it.

Not long after, Chen Yi came back from bathing. Yin Tingxue was so focused on reading that she didn’t notice Chen Yi approaching, and she jumped when she turned her head to see him.

Without hesitation, Chen Yi hugged her, her back of the head resting against his chest.

Yin Tingxue dared not struggle, leaning into his embrace:

"What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, just want to hold you, really warm."

Yin Tingxue leaned for a while, looking at the book in her hand. It happened to be the section where the protagonist visits a temple for the New Year, and she pondered, then requested:

"Take me to pray at Qian Deng Temple, alright?"

"Oh? Why?"

"...Want to pray, the Praying Place has arrived."

"Is that all?"

Yin Tingxue certainly wouldn’t say this was a test, to see if Chen Yi would take her to Qian Deng Temple, and thus test if he would take her back to Yintai Temple in the future, but she wasn’t good at lying and feared being bullied by Chen Yi, so she could only say softly:

"I miss Yintai Temple."

Her mother consort always said she was a daughter of Yintai Temple, and ever since becoming a concubine, she frequently missed Yintai Temple.

Chen Yi pondered for a moment, unable to see the connection between the two. However, now that the dust had settled, taking her to Qian Deng Temple for a daytime visit wouldn’t hurt.

Moreover, once she was healed, he planned to give her a shock.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi wanted to make it up to her a bit first:

"Alright."

Yin Tingxue didn’t expect Chen Yi to agree so readily and didn’t know what to say, responding somewhat softly with a "Mm".

The lady of Xiang rested in Chen Yi’s arms, taking the initiative to snuggle a bit closer. She had always feared him, understanding that this man never gave in to force, and combined with her innate weakness, she dared not resist anymore, especially since, after these past days, she had resigned herself to her fate, intending to be a good concubine.

Yintai Temple was too far, no matter how much she disliked it, she could only rely on him. Fortunately, after resigning herself, she obeyed him in everything, and he treated her better than before, bullying her less.

Chen Yi held Yin Tingxue, seeing her obedient demeanor, couldn’t help but feel a little pity, especially thinking about what he planned to do, he felt even more affection.

The day wasn’t far away; he should buy her a hairpin first.

..........

Entering the gates of the Eastern Factory early in the morning, everyone knelt to receive the Empress Dowager’s decree.

"Thoroughly investigate the events of Demon Extermination Day?"

Chen Yi murmured after carefully reading the decree.

"Chief Director Chen, do you have any thoughts?"

Song Tong spoke up,

"This matter...we aren’t very skilled at it, we’re a group of martial artists, not Taoists."

Chen Yi replied:

"The decree must be accepted. Vice Director, arrange the manpower, oh right, is the Shangqing Dao ready to arrive in the Capital City yet?"

Song Tong replied:

"They should be arriving this morning, they will first enter the palace to pay respects to the emperor, and then settle down by Qian Deng Temple."

Chen Yi nodded; not only could he find the people from Shangqing Dao to understand the situation, but it was also just right to take Yin Tingxue to visit Qian Deng Temple.
