My enemies became my companions

Chapter 355: Caught in bed
She was going to find him.

Whenever she thought of this, Yin Tingxue clenched her fists, always feeling an indescribable nervousness.

There is clearly nothing to be nervous about. My husband has left and no one knows where he has gone. It is normal for a concubine to go look for him.

Even though I said this in my heart, I was still nervous.

Master Zhou said that Chen Yi was somewhere in the underworld.

When Yin Tingxue found out, she was shocked at first, but not sad, because she felt in her heart that Chen Yi would not die.

Although he was very bad before, he was getting better and he was the only person I could rely on. If he died like this, what would I do?

Yin Tingxue didn't know, she just held the small paper boat in her arms.

This time when she entered the underworld, Yin Tingxue truly witnessed the magical powers of Master Zhou.

The underworld and the human world are divided into the Yin and Yang realms. Master Zhou found a door from somewhere and after pushing it open, he went from the human world to the underworld. Then he performed divination and found out where Chen Yi was.

The gate that sealed the ferocious beast Chaos stood before us, towering and majestic.

The ancient stone door was tightly closed and no one knew how to open it. Yin Tingxue thought that everything would stop outside this door, but she never expected that Master Zhou would wave his sword and cut a foot of crack in the door.

This one foot is only enough for one person to pass through.

"I will entrust my Nascent Soul to you, you can enter on your own."

Zhou Yitang said calmly.

If there were no formations still remaining on the stone door, even with extraordinary abilities, it would not be possible to open the door so easily with just one sword.

And if she, as a sword armor, were to go deep into it, the chaos within would surely be awakened from its slumber, and would then become furious, turning the world upside down, and would attract the attention of the King of Hell in the Ghost City.

It will be extremely difficult to figure it out by then.

And if Yin Tingxue, who is at the foundation-building stage, can go deep into it, not only will it not awaken the chaos, but he can also connect with it through his Nascent Soul.

Even though Yuanying couldn't see what Yin Tingxue saw, he could only vaguely sense the surrounding environment.

But it is enough whether it is to protect this new disciple or to communicate with the rebellious disciple.

The little fox had no objection to Zhou Yitang's orders. She always obeyed obediently for things she didn't understand and rarely asked why they were done.

So she held her little paper boat and went deeper into it step by step.

I wonder where he is now?
The girl thought with a hint of anticipation,
Do you miss her a little bit too?
..............................

"Ah... Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva... uh... deep practice... very deep practice... when practicing Prajnaparamita, one can see clearly, see clearly... the five aggregates are empty!"

“Shariputra…Shariputra…, I am not asking you to touch that!…Form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form…”

"Form is emptiness...Emptiness, emptiness, emptiness is form..."

The trembling sound of chanting scriptures flowed between the guest rooms in this small courtyard like moonlight.

Concubine Dong's lips were half open and half closed, and she saw the face sometimes approaching and sometimes moving away, just like the demon Mara in the scriptures, and she could only recite scriptures to resist it.

At the last moment, Chen Yi kissed her lips.

Beneath the hot thin lips, there is the Buddhist meditation.

Or to put it another way, sage time.

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

Wow, add a little lamp oil to the lamp, and the dim light fills every corner of the room.

Concubine Dong's red face has lost all its toxicity, leaving only a lingering charm. Her long hair is disheveled, and she looks like a female ghost who flashes by in the night. The bright moonlight hooks my heart.

Chen Yi looked at her long hair, stroking it gently, picking up a strand and placing it in his palm. He was just amazed before, but now he found it particularly pleasing. He looked at it patiently for a long time.

He is a very emotional person, otherwise he would not have attracted so many women.

After that conversation with Zhou Yitang, he became even more clear-headed.

"Now that the poison has been removed, you can leave as you wish."

Concubine Dong gathered up her quilt to cover her graceful figure along with her long hair. Goryeo women were kind to others, and this statement in history books was generally true, whether it was about their bodies or temperaments.

She glanced at the wet bed, then moved the quilt to cover the bright red plum blossoms.

Chen Yi stroked her hair and asked:
"If I leave on my own, wouldn't that just be a fleeting romance?
What’s more…it’s your first time.”

Concubine Dong recalled what he had said. Her face flushed at first, then darkened, and she sighed softly:
"Thank you for your mercy and ordination, I have no chance to practice..."

They said they didn't want a fleeting romance, but the two of them were like half-strangers after all. Although they had heard of each other's names for a long time, they had not actually been together for more than twenty-four hours, not even enough time for love to arise. From this perspective, it was no different from a fleeting romance.

A man and a woman meet tonight and will say goodbye tomorrow. They will meet again another day and say goodbye again. Just like the clouds leave the top of the mountain and come back suddenly.

We met by chance, but we are just strangers in a foreign land.

Zen Master Jueyin sighed and said:
"Everything is like dew and lightning."

Chen Yi listened carefully.

Women always feel sad and depressed after the incident, and even Buddhist nuns who eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures are not immune to this.

Chen Yi smiled with a hint of laughter in his eyes:

"I don't care if it's not like dew, nor like electricity. As long as you don't betray me, it will be more than just a fleeting love affair."

If it were in the past, Chen Yi might not have said these words.

Isn’t it simple enough to just pull up your pants and not recognize someone?

But now, Chen Yi's mentality has quietly changed a little, and he has the ability and can take on more responsibilities.

Concubine Dong looked at Chen Yi with a little surprise, and complicated thoughts surged through her mind, wanting to blurt out.

But when the words came to his lips, he just smiled.

The two of them were in tacit understanding and didn't mention anything like love or like.

"Deepen the connection?" Chen Yi reached up along her long hair and stroked her shoulder.

Concubine Dong bit her lower lip lightly. Now that the effect of the drug had worn off, she could have refused. However, when she saw him coming closer, she thought that he would be her leader in the future, so it would not be a bad idea to have a chat about Buddhism with him.

She loosened the quilt, and her gathered hair spread out...

However, the lustful Chen Yi did not notice.

A familiar petite figure is approaching.

The night is falling and the moonlight is especially bright today.

The petite figure wrapped in a red cotton-padded jacket set out from the unknown dilapidated temple and walked for a quarter of an hour before finally arriving outside Cui's mansion.

Along the way, she used the divination technique taught by Zhou Yitong to determine the direction. Even though it was her first time doing so, everything went very smoothly.

The closer it got, the more inexplicably happy the little fox felt.

If I go to find him myself, won't he be surprised?
"Wrong way."

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Zhou Yitang's voice.

Although Zhou Yitang could not see what Yin Tingxue saw, he could sense the hexagram.

Yin Tingxue glanced at the hexagram and touched her head. She was too impatient and turned in the wrong direction and walked into another alley.

After this small deviation, Yin Tingxue became more serious, but still expected something, so she took small steps intentionally or unintentionally.

When they arrived outside Cui's mansion, the paper man doorman naturally would not let her in, and Yin Tingxue did not dare to alarm others, so she used the wind-controlling technique she had recently learned and flew in.

After landing smoothly from top to bottom, Yin Tingxue stretched out his arms and told another fortune.

He is getting closer.

The little fox said secretly in her heart, rubbing the little paper boat with her fingertips. She took it out of her arms in advance and held it in her palm.

There was sweat on her palms, which was the girl's nervousness in giving a gift to her husband.

The moonlight was exceptionally bright tonight, and the cobblestone road shone silvery. Yin Tingxue walked along the road, passing through the flowers and plants on both sides.

"What is he doing?"

When they got outside the yard, Yin Tingxue couldn't help but murmur,
"Will he be happy to see me?"

The little fox walked away slowly, raised his head expectantly, and saw the flickering candlelight and the overlapping shadows...

She paused for a moment, then pushed the door open involuntarily.

The cold wind blew into the house. Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, and turned to look outside the door in confusion...

Snapped…

There was a little paper boat...and it fell to the ground.

Under the moonlight, only the silhouette of the young girl stood there, coming into view.

"you…"

Chen Yi stared blankly at the little fox outside the door, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, her hands were empty, and the little paper boat lay quietly on the ground.

"you…"

Concubine Dong, whose face was flushed, came back to her senses and froze. She raised her eyes and saw that Chen Yi was even more froze than her. "You..."

When the paper boat fell into his eyes, Chen Yi seemed to have guessed something. His blood seemed to flow backwards at that moment, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind like a galloping horse.

"you…"

The girl bit her teeth lightly and whispered:
"...You don't want to be discovered by Master Zhou..."

After saying this, she considerately closed the door, stepped back a little, and was stunned for a moment.

There were footsteps outside the house. Chen Yi hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the door. The moment she saw him, Yin Tingxue hurriedly picked up the paper boat on the ground and put it behind her.

"What did you find? What happened?"

Yin Tingxue heard Master Zhou's words in her ears. She breathed rapidly and looked at Chen Yi for a while with trembling eyes. Finally, she said:
"Nothing... the ground is a little wet, maybe the house is leaking."

"What's there to discover?"

It can be heard from the voice that Zhou Yitang seemed to have frowned slightly.

Yin Tingxue glanced at Chen Yi, who was standing by the door awkwardly, not moving at all.

The little fox blushed, lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then whispered:
"He, he... did it to himself... It's so dirty, so embarrassing..."

This was clearly an attempt to make amends for Chen Yi.

But Chen Yi also heard the girl's faint complaints.

When Zhou Yitang heard the girl's words, his brows relaxed.

He is just that kind of person. If there is no woman around him, he will do such dirty things.

Forget it, I won’t look for other women. It’s just an embarrassing thing.

She sneered and said, "It is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change one's nature."

Seeing that she believed it, Yin Tingxue looked at Chen Yi deeply and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I will go and persuade him."

The one-armed woman, who was thousands of miles away, thought of how Yin Tingxue had advised her in the past, and shook her head gently. Out of sight, out of mind, she withdrew her Nascent Soul's perception.

After waiting for a while, Yin Tingxue still didn't see Master Zhou. Her gaze fell back on Chen Yi and she clenched the paper boat in her hand even tighter.

As for the view of the room, it is naturally the river of spring water flowing inside the door.

The little fox turned his eyes away, feeling mixed emotions. The wrinkled paper boat seemed to hurt his palms.

Chen Yi suddenly hugged her.

Even though she felt unhappy at the moment, Yin Tingxue did not push him away. Instead, she stiffened for a moment and then leaned obediently into his arms.

His fingertips ran through her hair. She gasped for breath. After a long while, she sighed a few times.

"You...why are you here?"

Chen Yirou raised her voice and asked. The woman in his arms was clearly a concubine who had no right to catch an adulterer, but he still felt a lot of guilt in his heart.

Yin Tingxue leaned close to him, smelled his scent, and frowned deeply.

Chen Yi didn't know what to say. All his excuses were stuck in his throat. In the end, he could only squeeze out one sentence:
"Come in first."

Yin Tingxue nodded and was taken into the guest room by Chen Yi. Concubine Dong had quickly changed her clothes and sat aside.

Chen Yi sat on the bed, looked at the girl's face in the moonlight, hooked her waist, and asked softly:

"How did you come?"

"I'm worried about you..." Yin Tingxue glanced at the charming Korean woman, "But you don't seem to need it..."

"I...I need it, idiot." Chen Yi sighed, and his voice became much lower towards the end.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't feel so guilty.

In the past, he would have simply pressed Yin Tingxue's forehead and asked, "Can you control me?" That's it.

But at this moment he felt extremely empty for no reason.

Chen Yi leaned forward and was about to say something, but his palms became wet.

It turned out that she was crying.

When Concubine Dong saw the girl crying, she felt so embarrassed and ashamed that she put on her clothes, stepped out of the door and waited in the yard.

They were the only two left in the room.

Tears flowed down her cheeks, down his arms, and across his heart, taking away all the words. There was silence, and Chen Yi had no choice but to hold her tighter. She rested her chin on his shoulder and cried even harder.

Chen Yi silently stroked her hair.

The girl's panting hit her neck and she sobbed for a long time.

Finally, she leaned against Chen Yi's arms, moved, and pushed him away slightly.

Chen Yi rubbed her shoulders, opened his lips slightly, and then said:

"There is a reason why I'm with her... Don't think too much about it. It will make you feel uncomfortable if you think about it."

The little fox did not refute him, but nodded obediently:
"Well, I believe you."

“…Do you really trust me?” Chen Yi’s voice was a little hesitant.

"I believe it, I believe it..." Her voice was a little hoarse, but she still leaned close to him and said, "I am your concubine."

Chen Yi's heart suddenly surged with joy. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he could only sigh and say, "Fool, fool, how could you believe it like that..."

Yin Tingxue lowered her head and pondered for a long time before she whispered:

"What can I do if I don't believe you?"

Chen Yi had nothing to say.

The night wind blew quietly, circling around the small guest room of the Cui Mansion. The moonlight was as quiet as death, and it was deeply helpless, as if it was crossing from the desert on this side to the desert on the other side, chasing a mirage that was getting farther and farther away.

She could never refuse him, and tears always came to her eyes before she could speak.

After a long moment, he whispered, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were so worried about me."

There doesn't seem to be much to apologize for.

"…I forgive you." She said softly.

There doesn't seem to be anything to forgive.

Chen Yi was stunned and said bitterly: "Why did you forgive me just like that?"

"Because you said you were sorry,"

Yin Tingxue wiped her tears and said seriously:

"I promised you that I would forgive you as long as you apologize."

After the words fell, time seemed to stand still for a moment, and even Chen Yi's breathing became still.

She just looked straight at her always passionate husband, pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Holding her in his arms, Chen Yi hugged her for a long time and couldn't help laughing, as if he was amazed at her seriousness, but also as if he was mocking himself.

"Why don't you scold me?"

She shook her head and said, "I know it's useless to scold you, so I can only compromise with you."

Chen Yi stared at her for a long time, then sighed and asked, "Are you really going to let it go like this?"

"Hmm..." Yin Tingxue responded, and said as a matter of course: "I am a concubine, so there is nothing to blame you for this matter."

That was true, but Chen Yi saw the small paper boat in her hand.

She prepared gifts for herself with great joy, but in the end she found herself in bed with another woman.

Yin Tingxue noticed Chen Yi's gaze and retracted her hand.

Chen Yi asked knowingly, "What is that?"

"Something for you..." Yin Tingxue wanted to give it to him, but the room was damp and full of the scent of other women, so she suppressed it for the time being, "I can't give it to you for the time being, okay?"

If it were in the past, Chen Yi might have forced her, but now he felt guilty and the atmosphere was not right, so he agreed to her:

"Okay, but tell me when."

Yin Tingxue was unsure, and after a moment of hesitation, she asked, "How about Yuanxiao?"

The time in the outside world was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Lantern Festival was actually only a few days away, so Chen Yi agreed and said, "Okay, then give me the Lantern Festival."

Yin Tingxue smiled, thought for a moment, and then gave him a flattering kiss on the cheek.

Chen Yi smiled and patted her butt. She blushed and lowered her head, then carefully placed the paper boat in her arms.

Seeing this scene, Chen Yi's eyes widened.

In fact, I wrote something on the paper flowers I gave her.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have told her not to open it.
