Chapter 1089: Chapter 608: One Must Practice Self-Restraint

Donggong Ruoshu wanted to squeeze in but couldn’t, and Yin Tingxue wouldn’t let her in either, so she could only watch from outside. However, it was fine, just watching was quite enjoyable.

Chen Yi couldn’t fathom this stupid girl’s thought process, but seeing her face pressed against the window, he was inexplicably tempted to scare the Little Fox a bit, and sure enough, it worked.

He satisfactorily opened his mouth to swallow the porridge, glanced at Yin Tingxue, who, while telling him not to frighten her, obediently fed him and gave him food—truly adorable and delightful.

But Yin Tingxue didn’t like it; she pouted, with grievance written all over her face.

Chen Yi didn’t pay attention to her. To avoid feeling guilty and bully with peace of mind, he averted his gaze from her, looked out the window, eating the porridge the Little Fox brought, watching the stupid girl’s face pressed against the glass, still trying hard.

What a silly girl she was. What if one day she got stuck in the wall...

Thoughts just drifted in, and Chen Yi immediately halted them; Yin Tingxue was still nearby, and it was indeed inappropriate to let his mind wander randomly.

But being severely injured, utterly bored, letting thoughts scatter was almost inevitable.

Mouthful by mouthful, the porridge was finally finished. Yin Tingxue considerately took a cloth and wiped his mouth, first with a wet cloth and then a dry one. Then she turned around and noticed Miss Donggong still wanted to come in, helplessly saying, "You can’t come in, Sister Donggong, you can’t come in."

"Why?"

"There’s a barrier set by Master Zhou; no one can come in."

"But I want to come in."

"You can’t; he needs to lie in bed for a long time now. Don’t be so reckless." Perhaps frightened, Yin Tingxue’s tone had a hint of reprimanding.

Donggong Ruoshu thought there was nothing wrong with Chen Yi, so she felt there was no harm in coming in to have a look, but she understood the tone of Yin Tingxue, so she just said "oh" and retreated.

Yin Tingxue breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and said, "It’d be good to let Sister Donggong return to her own body soon; things can’t go on like this."

Was this giving him eye medicine? Chen Yi looked at her, amused, not saying yes or no.

Yin Tingxue leaned over gently, kissed Chen Yi’s cheek, and said softly, "Can’t I say something, even if it’s just speaking?"

"Of course you can." Chen Yi appreciated her tenderness, which she used very appropriately each time.

"It was quite troublesome to bathe Sister Donggong every day, but now it’s better. Sister Weiyin enters her body to wash her."

On hearing this, Chen Yi furrowed his brow slightly. Great Yin entering Donggong Ruoshu’s body... anytime it involved Yin Weiyin, it always made people suspect there was some calculation involved.

Who knows if there’s a hidden agenda, given Yin Weiyin’s "shrewd" nature; possibly she could count every hair on the stupid girl.

"It’s indeed better to have her return soon, once I’ve recovered, I’ll find a way," said Chen Yi.

"Mhm."

Yin Tingxue curled the corner of her mouth, a fleeting smile disappearing quickly before Chen Yi could see it.

"...you Little Fox."

"What’s the matter?" With that, Yin Tingxue shifted the topic: "Don’t scare me randomly."

"It’s so boring here, how can I not scare you?" Chen Yi was quite matter-of-fact.

Yin Tingxue was immediately distraught.

So, out of options, Chen Yi said, "Kiss me, and I won’t scare you for ten days."

"Then kiss once."

"Twice."

Hearing him raise the stakes at the last moment, greedy and insatiable, Yin Tingxue didn’t argue, quickly kissed him three times, and then turned away.

......

Days passed, Chen Yi’s condition had improved, from initially moving and feeling severe pain throughout his body, to now just faintly aching, supplemented by the spiritual pills from Dragon and Tiger Mountain, soon he should be able to move freely.

But being able to move freely didn’t mean his condition had fully improved, as Chen Yi knew, due to this world-shaking demonic possession, his body could be described as a mess.

The state of severed meridians and chaotic blood circulation was not comfortable. Now, he is like a fragmented porcelain carefully pieced together, and with any excessive movement, it could crumble.

That’s also why Zhou Yitang didn’t allow anyone else to approach, entrusting Chen Yi’s care solely to Yin Tingxue. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Consequently, Lin Wanxiao and Yin Weiyin had time to sort out their emotions. They didn’t want anything else to go wrong with Chen Yi, and the courtyard had been quiet these few days.

Now finally recovering moderately well, Zhou Yitang came in after checking his pulse and told Yin Tingxue to take Chen Yi out for a walk. Chen Yi turned his head and could see from the corner of the wall in the distance, the two women lined up peeking.

They were watching him from afar.

Chen Yi helplessly chuckled, heart warming, without responding or disturbing, otherwise the little housekeeper would chase the two women away again.

The sunlight was just perfect, warmly spilling onto his body, Chen Yi stood facing the light for a while before the pain in his body surged, forcing him to sit back down.

A voice called out suddenly beside him.

"Young fellow."

Startled awake, Chen Yi turned his head to see his Square Land placed on the table.

After pondering a moment, he used energy to bring the Square Land to his hand.

"Old thing?"

"You’re still alive, young man?" the Old Saintess seemed surprised, but not overly surprised. Despite this, the previously shocking resonance still lingered in her voice.

Chen Yi slowly responded, "Someone’s watching; it’d be hard for me to die now even if I wanted to."

"Who’s watching..." the sentence hung unfinished as the Old Saintess understood the meaning; deities are watching.

"Best not to discuss these matters. Though I feel that they aren’t watching too closely, and won’t put all hope on me. The world hasn’t gone to such extremes yet. I have my Sword Intent which can only be a fallback, but better safe than sorry."
