Chapter 1092: Chapter 609: Real or Paper Flowers? (Double-Length)_2

Before the words were fully spoken, Zhou Yitang glared at him, "You’re delusional."

"She is your Heart Demon, isn’t that just another part of you? Why not?"

"She’s too talkative."

"I just won’t listen then." Chen Yi immediately made a gesture of blocking his ears.

No matter how Chen Yi tried to persuade with emotion and reason, Zhou Yitang still refused. She took the initiative to find him, which was already extremely difficult, merely out of pity for his serious injuries. Now this rebellious disciple wanted even more.

"Really can’t let her come? Can’t I just meet her?"

"You’re overthinking." Zhou Yitang said, "Consider this as nothing but a daydream."

"Zhou Yitang, don’t force me to break into your Heart Lake."

"Heh."

Her cold laugh reached his ears, and Chen Yi realized that at least tonight, this matter was impossible. Feeling somewhat helpless, he retaliated:

"Laughing so soon?"

Zhou Yitang turned her gaze to him. Though there was no provocation, the meaning was clear: What can you do?

"This is my realm." Chen Yi said.

"I’ll just leave then." she said.

Chen Yi naturally wouldn’t coldly say, "Then go," knowing she might actually leave if he did. So he changed his attitude, calmly saying, "Alright, then I’ll find Yin Tingxue later."

"...How can she enter your Heart Lake?"

"She’s also reached Golden Core, just a bit of teaching is needed. Didn’t it surprise you that she’s a Golden Core? It surprised me too." Chen Yi had a look that begged for a beating.

The one-armed woman fell silent instantly.

Seeing her like this, Chen Yi knew he’d succeeded and said in a reminiscent tone, "Ah, the Little Fox hasn’t seen much of the world. If she came in, would she be very surprised? Besides, this is my realm, much easier to handle matters than outside. Want to do anything with her, she’d have to comply, right? Maybe she’d be even more obedient than outside, my dear Little Fox..."

Though Zhou Yitang was quite fond of the sensible young girl, this constant little fox talk was truly annoying.

"I know you’re provoking me." She hit back.

"You know, sooner or later I’ll let the Little Fox come in," Chen Yi shamelessly continued with just the couple present, "By the way, she’s got fragrant sweat, you don’t."

Such words were terribly offensive and had it not been for concern over his serious injuries, Zhou Yitang would already have struck him with a sword.

Cultivators, once entering the path, could undergo fasting to forego eating after just a little practice. Three or four years later, they could subsist on morning dew, and upon reaching Nascent Soul Realm, whether eating or not, their bodies remained purely exquisite, lightly sparkling clean, wonderfully different, naturally fragrant and pristine, truly the body of pure crystal.

Simply put, never mind fragrant sweat, she didn’t even sweat, which occasionally left Chen Yi quite disappointed.

Chen Yi’s vulgar words and sayings, if heard on ordinary days, Zhou Yitang would surely retaliate.

Yet currently, within his Heart Lake with their spouse roles upfront and master-disciple roles behind, Zhou Yitang merely furrowed her brows slightly.

Capturing this detail, Chen Yi deliberately provoked, "What do you think about... the Little Fox coming in later and me encouraging her to serve you respectfully?"

Zhou Yitang replied coldly, "Enough."

"Why, don’t you like the Little Fox? I see her always speaking to you."

"What I dislike is you always talking about those three words endlessly."

Chen Yi chuckled, "I’ll keep saying them endlessly, what can you do? I’ll say it again later."

Zhou Yitang fell silent, as if unable to argue.

"What’s there not to like?" Chen Yi said slowly, "’Little Fox’ is so smooth off the tongue."

He was probing Zhou Yitang’s current limits, driven by the urge in his heart, laying groundwork for future affectionate play, and this was precisely because he couldn’t suppress the connection to his past life’s wife completely, no matter how profound his Martial Intent might be, he was currently only Third Rank.

"Oh, really?"

After contemplating for a long time, the one-armed woman suddenly spoke up,

"Then... Little Zunming?"

Chen Yi’s smile froze on his face, shivering as goosebumps erupted across him,

"Master, what’s gotten into you?"

"What?" she snorted, "You can call her Little Fox; can I not call you Little Zunming?"

Anything else was manageable, but suddenly being called Little Zunming by his master left Chen Yi’s pores uneasy, taking a long while to say:

"That’s... a term of endearment... understand?"

"Then this is my term of endearment."

Once Zhou Yitang spoke, she hesitated for a moment.

Chen Yi’s eyes lit up, abruptly embracing her tightly, "Little Zunming is quite nice; I am Little Zunming."

"......" She took a deep breath, unable to deal with this insubordinate disciple now, thus said, "...If you want, go back to your room; I’ll leave afterward."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

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

"Tired? Ah, you’re already trembling."

"......"

"I told you, your sword is inferior to mine, outdated."

"......Ugh... shut up."

"Tsk tsk, Master, are you already at your limit? If so, you’re no match for the Little Fox."

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

Commonly said two women together always have endless conversations, and if they’re sisters, they could talk for two lifetimes, but in this hall, at this moment, a pin drop could be heard in the silence.

Watching the young girl busying herself with chores, for some unknown reason, Yin Weiyin felt inexplicably displeased.

Chen Yi was seriously injured and inconvenient to see others, which she could understand, but how could Zhou Yitang just go in like that? If it was for medical reasons, fine, but Yin Tingxue came out, meaning it likely wasn’t just medical.

Yin Weiyin’s mind was unsettled. Though she often carried herself with a senior’s demeanor, elders in the world often get deceived with false kindness, not to mention she had lost influence previously because of Lin Wanxiao. If Zhou Yitang used this opportunity to rise in power, what then?

Could it be that henceforth...

She’d have no voice at home?

The female crown tightened her bun, her gaze turning obscure.

Yin Tingxue halted her task of grinding medicine, raising her eyes to glance at her.

Yin Weiyin promptly stood and calmly said, "Tingxue, I’m going in to take a look."
