My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 777 - 487: Fond of the New, Bored of the Old (Two-in-One)

In the deep and solemn night, the small boat no longer ripples the green waves, only leaving gentle rings of ripples, spreading from inside out under the moonlight.

Yin Tingxue was truly fed up with the tossing around, lying in Chen Yi's embrace, letting his breath touch her neck, her pretty face turning crimson.

And Chen Yi kept his eyes half-closed, enjoying her petite obedience.

As night fell, silence and vastness dominated, Yin Tingxue caught only the scent of dry sweat at the tip of her nose, her brows knitted tightly, clutching the bedding.

Her head tilted slightly, her chin grazed against Chen Yi's neck, prompting him to look down at her.

"Still not asleep?" Chen Yi teased.

Yin Tingxue did not answer, instead she asked back, "...Are you satisfied?"

Satisfied? 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Chen Yi held her slender waist. In recent times, he had been quite displeased with Yin Tingxue's lack, like someone used to sumptuous feasts who turned to a simple meal—beautiful it may be, but something about it felt wrong.

Not long before, he had been accompanied by a kind Korean woman, rich and nourishing like good meat, while the little fox was like a delightful dessert, making him immensely satisfied.

"Satisfied." Chen Yi said softly, finally pecking the back of her head.

Yin Tingxue turned her face slightly, catching glimpses of his profile at the corner of her eye, while Chen Yi gazed at her baby face, round like a small hill with specks of moonlight at the edges.

Chen Yi spoke slowly, "Why don't you grow?"

"I am growing."

"You're almost seventeen, there's no more chance to grow."

"...There is a chance...as long as you don't bully me so hard..."

"Is it all my fault?"

Yin Tingxue could tell he was teasing on purpose, but she didn't argue with him, instead she said, "Then it's my fault."

"You sure know how to talk."

Chen Yi rubbed her head, the little fox always conformed to his ways, rarely arguing, almost obediently, but rather resisting through compromise, with a certain stubbornness at her core, always holding onto principles.

Thinking of this, Chen Yi suddenly felt somewhat dissatisfied.

Having been together for so long, Yin Tingxue never seemed to have been coquettish with him, in contrast, the Great Yin would occasionally whine in a soft voice... Before his thoughts could form, a young girl's voice suddenly came by his ear, "Why weren't you satisfied before, only now you are?"

Chen Yi shelved his thoughts, responding, "Can't help it, I've seen the world."

Not to mention the Great Yin and the female Prince, or Zhu E the Winter Guifei, even Min Ning, though generally lacking, her arm, thigh, and abdominal muscles carried a certain charm and gallant aura, whereas Yin Tingxue was too fragile for the turmoil.

"But you used to... cling to me."

"Cling to you? That was because there was no choice."

"Oh..." Yin Tingxue lowered her head, "You are too quick to abandon the old for the new."

Chen Yi's heart suddenly softened, it had been quite good before, after all, Yin Tingxue was the only woman around him, and she was extremely beautiful, evoking much tenderness, so those words were not false, thus he spent his days with her. But afterwards... as more women appeared and experiences expanded, she seemed more like a calming detoxifying tea.

Especially when Yin Kaiyin lay beside him, that was often when Chen Yi found the most satisfaction.

"Where have I abandoned the old for the new." Chen Yi held her tighter, kissing her repeatedly, "Spending ten lifetimes with you, isn't that satisfaction?"

Yin Tingxue didn't respond, simply allowing Chen Yi to hold her.

Shortly after, Chen Yi loosened his grip a bit, and she turned around.

Perhaps noticing his good mood, Yin Tingxue plucked up the courage to say, "Husband... do you often feel dissatisfied with me?"

Calling him husband often meant she had a request... Chen Yi knew this yet couldn't help but soften, "Occasionally."

"...I'm also dissatisfied..." She paused, fearing misunderstanding, "You're too fierce."

This complaint carried a hint of flattery, which was hard to resist. Chen Yi relished it, one word displeased him, ten made him happy. This little fox, if placed in history books, would perhaps be a beauty that brings downfall to a nation.

He couldn't help but laugh, "What do you really want to say, just say it directly."

Yin Tingxue then clenched her teeth and said directly, "In the future, try to do it less, don't be so lustful, okay? Not that it's not done, we are a couple... but I can't handle it, I feel uncomfortable."

She didn't have Yin Weiyin's disregard for worldly matters, nor the female Prince's unrestrained passion. Raised in the Prince Mansion, she couldn't avoid it as if it were a snake or scorpion, but instinctively rejected it, more or less because of this, Chen Yi loved to bully her.

Not the first time Yin Tingxue made such a request, Chen Yi didn't respond, instead teasingly asked, "If not for that, then what do we do when sleeping?"

"Just like usual... just kiss, cuddle, hugging each other to sleep is so nice." She paused, "If I had a Yin Tingxue to hug, I wouldn't want anything else."

"You're so vain."

"Then don't hold me."

"I insist."

...

The night unknowingly deepened, the small boat gliding with the moonlight-tinged waves, Yin Tingxue, after another attempt during the second half of the night, was too exhausted and fell asleep, softly snoring as she did so. Chen Yi lowered his head to kiss her forehead, wanting to whisper some sweet nothings while she slept, but if she was pretending to sleep and heard it, that wouldn't be good.

........

In the Capital City, the Empress Dowager had been bedridden for some time, having stopped attending court a month before the year's end, many governmental affairs either piled up waiting for handling or were transferred to the Chief of Staff's office by the Cabinet, making people feel suspicious, but as the year's festivities approached, all officials laid low, and the city was momentarily calm.

"Madam, they have been brought."

In a mansion set up by the An family somewhere, the Spirit Sparrow led Dong Guifei around the screen, approaching the noblewoman perusing the secret documents.
