My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 719 - 462: Joy and Laughter (Two in One)_2

In the beginning, Yin Weiyin could still endure it, but later, seeing Chen Yi constantly running outside, she truly couldn't bear it anymore.

"What have you been going out for all these days?"

"I was dragged into it, couldn't refuse."

"You've been following Miss Donggong to meet your senior sister often lately, it seems you don't need to keep me company anymore." Yin Weiyin tried to speak calmly, paused for a moment, waved her hand, and said, "Anyway, we'll meet when you come back, so just go."

It was meant to sound ironic, but who would have thought Chen Yi actually left.

Yin Weiyin hugged the quilt, grinding her teeth.

She hadn't realized she was jealous before, but that time, she truly felt it. When Chen Yi returned, she pretended to be nonchalant. Though he greeted her with the same enthusiasm, she wondered if he knew her heart had turned cold.

...…

Chen Yi followed Dong Gong Ruoshu to meet Lu Ying, not because of any lascivious intentions. He always kept his distance from the dull-witted girl, and towards Lu Ying, he maintained the proper respect of a junior towards a senior, never crossing boundaries. The reason he had been running outside these days was merely to pull Lu Ying out of her state of self-oblivion.

As he had previously mentioned to Zhou Yitang, Lu Ying in the past had always feared the loneliness her master experienced. So, although she had exceptional talent, her inner turmoil held her back from making progress. Compared to her cultivation level, Chen Yi was more eager for his senior sister's happiness. He had boasted in the past that there were better realms of existence, and now that those words were no longer hollow, he intended to act on them.

Dong Gong Ruoshu felt the same, though her reasons were simpler—she merely found Lu Ying's current state too dull.

But as with all things in life, it's easy to imagine, but hard to accomplish.

The two of them tried every method they could think of, exhausting themselves, yet Lu Ying remained unmoved, observing them like an outsider.

Through rounds of effort, Lu Ying hadn't smiled like Bao Si yet, but instead, the relationship between Chen Yi and Miss Donggong improved significantly.

In fact, there had never been significant friction between the two, let alone hatred. Coupled with their past interactions in Shantong City, they were already quite familiar with each other, and now they were practically friends.

"Although I currently have a great deal of power, it originates from others. Unable to fully digest it, I'm stuck at a bottleneck, suffering nightly from agonizing bone-corroding pain."

Dong Gong Ruoshu casually spoke of her predicament.

Having lived a previous life, Chen Yi understood this matter somewhat, so he asked naturally, "What can be done about it?"

Dong Gong Ruoshu glanced at him and said quietly, "Don't you have a Li Pearl? We're good friends, can't you give it to me?"

Chen Yi thought about it for a while and finally remembered that Zhou Yitang had given him the Li Pearl from slaying the serpent during one jealous outburst. To him, the pearl wasn't particularly useful now, so he handed it to Dong Gong Ruoshu.

When Dong Gong Ruoshu received the pearl, her eyes lit up dazzlingly, and she candidly remarked, "Oh, I used to think about seducing you to cheat that Li Pearl from you, but I never had the chance. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited until now."

After pausing, she added, "Too bad I didn't succeed."

Chen Yi glanced at the dull-witted girl and laughed, "Good thing you didn't."

The two continued their chat happily, teasing each other in a harmonious tone.

With the Li Pearl in hand, Dong Gong Ruoshu used a secret technique to transfer the bone-corroding pain into the pearl. With that, the bottleneck from Sixth Rank to Fourth Rank finally broke through, her martial arts levels surged uncontrollably.

With such rapid progress, to avoid an untempered foundation, which might leave hidden troubles, martial artists typically sought repeated combat, even death matches, to refine themselves. Back when Chen Yi advanced to Fourth Rank, he had killed two and injured one using his blade within the Medicine Buddha Tower.

Unsurprisingly, Dong Gong Ruoshu started sparring with Chen Yi, using this opportunity to hone her martial intent, separating the wheat from the chaff.

For three whole days, their time was spent immersed in blades and swords. Chen Yi deliberately controlled his rank, sparring with Dong Gong Ruoshu. At first, matching ranks resulted in her defeat within three moves. Lowering his rank slightly improved her outcome to six moves. They sparred thirty to forty rounds a day.

If it were an ordinary person, their mindset might be clouded, causing their newly acquired levels to regress, but Dong Gong Ruoshu seemed oblivious to despair. Each time she lost, she would dust off her backside, get up, and continue sparring unfazed.

Gradually, as days passed, Dong Gong Ruoshu progressed more rapidly. From being defeated within six moves, she advanced to holding on for thirty, then fifty moves. The number of daily sparring rounds decreased, barely five or six by the time the sun set. Without realizing it, Chen Yi's energy grew even stronger than before, as though tirelessness had overtaken him.

Wu Buxu's expectations of excellence in Sword Dao weighed on him in these moments.

"So, have I become a legend now?"

Dong Gong Ruoshu's growth was visibly remarkable, her martial arts cultivation advancing with unprecedented speed. Her sword's murderous intent grew sharper, resembling the profound states of both Dao and Buddhist enlightenment—"Walking is Zen, sitting is Zen."

However, none of this mattered to Yin Weiyin. She focused exclusively on her spiritual path without involving herself in martial arts.

What mattered to her was the closeness that Chen Yi and Dong Gong Ruoshu developed over a few short days, far exceeding their past relationship.

While sparring and fighting were inherently good for development, they also invited dangers. The biggest fear was that the two might fight their way into bed!

Yin Weiyin hinted her concern subtly, but Chen Yi dismissed it without much thought.

Since he paid no heed, barely acknowledging her concern, Yin Weiyin had no choice but to seek an opportunity to intervene with Dong Gong Ruoshu instead. Using foreboding divination and augury-like tactics, she subtly nudged them to mind their boundaries.

Thus, when Dong Gong Ruoshu returned drenched in sweat to the guest room after another round of sparring, Yin Weiyin stopped her in private and remarked, "Your aura is strange, hmm, it's oddly familiar..."

Dong Gong Ruoshu nodded in agreement and replied, "Of course, it's your husband's."
