Chapter 1008: Chapter 577: Unspeakable, Unseeable, Unhearable (Double Length)

Oh no!

Oh no!

Oh no!!!

Having gone through countless trials and tribulations, Yin Weiyin barely had time to be happy before realizing that his joy was premature.

Originally wanting to enter Donggong Ruoshu’s body to test if there was any infidelity, plans fell apart as things progressed, and it became impossible to continue hiding.

Chen Yi looked at the woman in his arms, who had retreated into Donggong Ruoshu’s body, still behaving as cluelessly as before.

Coincidentally, if the Wushan Goddess hadn’t replaced his understanding of Yin Weiyin, if this illusion dream hadn’t been Yin Weiyin’s dream, he might have been kept in the dark even now.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi narrowed his eyes, his voice becoming increasingly gentle, saying, "How do you happen to be here, Luan Huang?"

Usually, hearing him call out Luan Huang and Wei Ying would melt one’s heart, but now it sounded like a death warrant. Yin Weiyin trembled slightly, unsure of how to explain.

Next to him, Donggong Ruoshu, in an untimely manner, leaned in and echoed, "Yes, yes, Miss Yin, how did you happen to be here? Still residing within my body too."

As the words fell, Yin Weiyin felt Chen Yi’s gaze sharpen further, causing her to shrink back instinctively, cursing the stupid girl for stirring things up, while her mind raced. Should he discover all the intricate plans she held, it wouldn’t be just a matter of losing her position; his myriad tricks would surely amaze her every time.

Even if things were manageable now, she feared Chen Yi’s wrath might strip her of the First Lady’s position, elevating Zhou Yitang, Yin Tingxue, and Min Ning above her. Despite not caring for empty titles, being belittled and neglected could affect her cultivation — how could that be allowed?

After weighing the pros and cons, Yin Weiyin clenched her teeth resolutely; though the chance to pull back had existed initially, there was no turning back now, the only path forward was darker, and she’d go it alone.

"I... I don’t know either." After a long time, there was some movement in his arms. Chen Yi looked down to see her trembling lightly like a leaf in the wind.

Utterly reliant, she nestled in his embrace, wrapping her arms around Chen Yi.

"I don’t know either... suddenly, I remembered I am Yin Weiyin... Husband, I-I am so scared."

Her trembling voice mixed with subtle sobbing, striking at Chen Yi’s tenderest side, he softly pat the female crown’s back, silently comforting her.

This explanation appeared reasonable, as in Chen Yi’s memories, Yin Weiyin indeed didn’t know who she was at that time, moreover her being Taiyi was utterly unexpected, which led the Old Saintess to misjudge.

With a gentle pat on her back, thousands of miles away, Yin Weiyin herself smiled faintly,

He softened, it worked!

Having softened Chen Yi was always easy to talk to, she lowered her head even further, softening his heart further.

With large eyes, Donggong Ruoshu found the scene oddly strange.

The identical face nestled in Chen Yi’s embrace felt odd, no matter how external the possession was. Yet, after surviving her ordeal, Miss Yin was excused from untimely comments. The stupid girl was rather considerate as she waited for Yin Weiyin to stabilize before suddenly asking:

"So, Miss Yin didn’t even know she was Yin Weiyin before?"

Yin Weiyin steadied herself and after hesitation, nodded.

Had she denied it, she’d be suspected of withholding information by Chen Yi, feared that he’d suspect her ill intent again — ordering Chi Long to conduct unyielding interrogations, employing every method; how could she endure that? The principle of a thousand-mile embankment collapsed by ant holes was never beyond the female crown.

Donggong Ruoshu nodded, noting down Yin Weiyin’s words, then Chen Yi turned around and asked the stupid girl, "Miss Donggong, how are you here?"

"Me? I came at the invitation of the Holy Emperor, jumping down a well to find that Hidden Crown Prince."

"Hidden Crown Prince..." Chen Yi paused momentarily, shaking his head, "He’s likely not here."

Back when the Hidden Crown Prince left with the White Lotus Sect and Dragon and Tiger Mountain’s groups, reasons unknown, the separation marked the end of their interactions.

However, Donggong Ruoshu’s encounter with the Holy Emperor amazed Chen Yi, the stupid girl’s luck was always astoundingly good.

"He’s not here... then I must find the source of the illusion dream." Donggong Ruoshu recalled aloud, "Have you heard of Taiyi Produces Water?"

Chen Yi briefly recalled, the Old Saintess had mentioned similar notions, he glanced at Yin Weiyin and muttered: No wonder there’s so much water...

Regaining his composure, he said, "I’ve heard of it, continue."

"Yes, yes, Holy Emperor said Taiyi undergoes constant change, becoming the heavens, becoming the earth, even transforming into Miss Yin now; Taiyi Produces Water is the original transformation of Taiyi to water, the source of this world and the source of this illusion dream."

Chen Yi listened intently, casting a sidelong glance at Yin Weiyin, feeling a sense of unreality.

His great Yin was Taiyi, once his cauldron, concubine, now his wife — Yin Weiyin is the origin of this world?

Yin Weiyin feigned shock, though soon she calmed down, daughter of Prince Jing, Taichua Goddess, encountering the True Immortal in youth, a once-in-a-millennium prodigy, even Taiyi was no surprise.

Chen Yi was astonished not long before the Old Saintess in the Square Land remarked, "So it turns out she’s merely Taiyi of this world."

"This world...?" Chen Yi caught the keyword.

"Boy, saying you know nothing is an understatement, the human realm wasn’t singular in countless years past, otherwise how could there be six Heavenly Emperors? One world wouldn’t be sufficient to divide." The Old Saintess enunciated, "Back then... there were six worlds, known as the Six Heavens, although now... no one knows how many remain."

Chen Yi sensed there was a deeper meaning in her words, knowing further pursuit wouldn’t yield answers, as even she couldn’t articulate clearly, displaying mere snippets, so he refrained from further questioning the old hag.
