My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 953 - 551: I’m Also a Pig (Extra 3-in-1)

The Immortals led the way, guiding them slowly forward.

Chen Yi observed the scenery along the road.

The beauty of the flowers and grass, the fallen blossoms scattered around, this sentence could describe the scenery of Peach Blossom Spring, but it could hardly capture the Vacuum Home before them.

In the distance, the mountains were locked in colorful clouds, surrounded as they were led through natural paths, both sides bordered by villages with unnamed forests, the drooping leaves reflecting the morning's pale gold, resembling thousands of silk gauze hung on branches, these immortal-like men and women called it the Colorful Gauze Forest.

A stream meandered down from the slope, its bed covered with pebblestones, bright red koi swam beneath the fallen flowers, with wildflowers blooming abundantly on both sides, the pink and white petals drifting on the water's surface.

Everything was as beautiful as an immortal realm, no wonder the Old Saintess said this was the Vacuum Home pursued by the White Lotus Sect.

Chen Yi and Donggong Ruoshu were led into a naturally formed garden, even though Yin Weiyin showed little interest along the way, upon seeing the waterside pavilion and the painted buildings, she couldn't help but exclaim in awe. She grew up in the Prince Mansion and later resided on Taihua Mountain, she had seen all kinds of beautiful scenery, yet what lay before her was a beauty that was wholly natural and nearly flawless, indescribable and beyond words.

Men and women surrounded the pair onto a pavilion to sit, a Fairy below began to play the zither, its sound whispering like smoke.

The pavilion initially had a sense of elegance above all, yet as more people gathered, it seemed like a flock of chattering birds entering the forest, surrounding each other closely, amidst the blooming flowers, still feeling warm and cozy.

They gave Chen Yi and Donggong Ruoshu plenty of space.

Chen Yi remained unaware, cautious internally but appearing calm on the surface.

The leading woman began with an introduction: "Do you want to know who we are? I... don't have a name, no one here has a name, only titles or nicknames, mine is called Cai Xia..."

Then, this Fairy Cai Xia introduced everyone present one by one, Chen Yi listened quietly, then was surprised to find that people here were either named Cai Xia, or named Mist, Green Leaves... all named after natural scenery.

After everyone finished their introductions, Chen Yi briefly introduced their names, which was followed by a moment of silence. Fairy Cai Xia said, "Perhaps we are too enthusiastic and startled you? Also, do you have anything you want to ask?"

Chen Yi pondered slightly, as Donggong Ruoshu suddenly asked, "Where is this... place? Why do you care whether we are a couple?"

The first question wasn't important; the latter was the confusion in Yin Weiyin's mind.

"There are no names here, nobody knows names. The reason we care," Fairy Cai Xia continued, her eyes twinkling a bit, "is because it's good if lovers from around the world become companions, isn't it?"

Yin Weiyin's heart skipped a beat,

It's naturally good for lovers to become companions, but what if the person in love is every woman?

Wouldn't it be divided into dozens of parts, one for you, another for me?

The female crown thought indignantly, yet with an immortal heart, she couldn't be so extreme, so it would be better if lovers from around the world, apart from her, do not become companions.

She thus said confusedly, "Didn't the Saint say, 'parents' orders, words of matchmakers'? These are old traditions."

"What if parents' orders and matchmakers' words want you to marry someone you don't like?" Fairy Cai Xia asked with a smile.

Naturally, I will become companions; you will rely on matchmakers' words...

Yin Weiyin thought secretly, she desperately hoped Donggong Ruoshu would follow her parents' and matchmakers' arrangements and marry, rather than make a private lifelong promise with Chen Yi, but this bit of resentment couldn't be spoken aloud.

"For two people to become companions, it depends entirely on genuine affection," Fairy Cai Xia said slyly, asking, "Do you have genuine affection? Mr. Chen, you genuinely like Miss Donggong, right?"

Yin Weiyin looked at Chen Yi askew, her gaze growing increasingly dim, in less than half a year, he already mourned her deeply, so profound and steadfast are his sentiments, what does she, the First Lady, count for...

Chen Yi's lips trembled slightly, about to speak, but Fairy Cai Xia raised a finger and circled it, saying, "Don't lie, we can see through it."

Chen Yi's gaze narrowed slightly, unsure if these men and women truly saw through or were purposely deceiving, so he replied noncommittally, "I don't know, it just happened hazily."

"Really? Is there or isn't there?" Fairy Cai Xia pursued.

"I don't know... maybe not."

Not? 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Not!

Yin Weiyin's eyes suddenly brightened, yet she had to pretend to be pitiful, exclaiming, "Not? How could... there be none..."

Donggong Ruoshu appeared to be deceived.

She was originally extremely beautiful, no less than these Immortals, and possessed an indescribable unique allure. Her expression incited the crowd to sigh sympathetically, truly pitiful and endearing. Seeing this, Yin Weiyin restrained her expression to not appear so pathetic.

But it was too late, someone already said, "Such a good girl, how can you not like her?"

"I see her as pitiable indeed, as I see... pitiable."

"Mr. Chen isn't truly cold-hearted; if he left someone in solitude, it would be heartless."

Sighs were like frog croaks, Chen Yi furrowed his eyebrows slightly, glanced sideways at Donggong Ruoshu. To be honest, she no longer had that dull feeling, not pure as before, rather she was like a bewildered little beast, testing the world bit by bit...

"Mr. Chen, do you really not have any feelings?" a voice timely arose.

"...Maybe, a little."

Upon hearing this, Yin Weiyin panicked immediately, she intended just to go along with the tide, didn't expect to push too hard, she bit her back molars and quickly controlled Donggong Ruoshu to speak.
