My Enemy Became My Cultivation Companion-Chapter 861 - 520: Seducing You (Double-Length)

Chen Yi couldn't help but turn his head and immediately saw the bright eyes of Miss Donggong.

Dong Gong Ruoshu was striding down the street, wearing a sword at her waist. The passersby gave way, and she, unreservedly, looked left and right at the bustling Wuchang, her chest puffed out, full of the curiosity of a beast let out of its cage.

"Miss Donggong..." Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, finally cleared his throat, intending to speak.

"Chen Yi, come here quickly."

Suddenly, Dong Gong Ruoshu jogged to a stall without looking back and waved him over.

Chen Yi was momentarily taken aback, then hurriedly followed with Little Fox, only to see Dong Gong Ruoshu holding two tiger masks, beckoning him, "Come over, come over, buy me this." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

This time, not only was Chen Yi stunned, but even Yin Tingxue widened her eyes.

The stall displayed sachets, wish tags, unity locks, masks, and other miscellaneous items, mostly for young couples secretly meeting on the street. Seeing someone approaching, the stall owner piled on smiles and said to them:

"Oh my, a couple out shopping together, buying a pair is perfect..."

Saying this, he noticed a short person and hastily complimented again,

"Oh, your daughter has grown so much."

Yin Tingxue: "..."

Chen Yi looked exasperated, not bothering to explain in public, took out a silver coin from his pocket, handed it to the stall owner, received the masks, and turned to find that Dong Gong Ruoshu was already waiting under the banyan tree up ahead, beckoning to him.

The two quickly followed. Dong Gong Ruoshu was fiddling with the mask's ties, just managing to put her head through when she heard a voice say, "Miss Donggong, what's the meaning of this?"

"Meaning what?" Dong Gong Ruoshu turned her head.

"I'm asking... why did you come south to find me?"

"To seduce you." As she spoke, Dong Gong Ruoshu now had the fiery red tiger mask on her forehead, looking festive even after New Year's.

Hearing her straightforwardness, Chen Yi held his forehead, adjusted his words, and said, "To seduce me... Miss Donggong, have you taken the wrong medicine, or has that woman worked her magic on you? In the Capital City, you were dead set against getting married, and now you tell me you came to seduce me, don't you find something inappropriate here?"

"Yes, exactly." Miss Donggong replied as a matter of course.

"So?"

"So, the Crown Princess Consort told me, I don't need to actually consummate with you, just to fiercely seduce you." Dong Gong Ruoshu put on her mask, presenting a self-perceived cute posture and said: "Roar."

Chen Yi rolled his eyes, avoided her gaze, and Yin Tingxue, observing Miss Donggong's antics, thought for a moment and acted fearfully by clinging a bit closer to Chen Yi, intending for his diverted gaze to fall on her.

Dong Gong Ruoshu hopped forward, her body bouncing slightly. Chen Yi's gaze hadn't yet landed on Yin Tingxue before he swiftly committed the common mistake men make.

Northern people are often compared to oxen and horses, while Southerners are likened to fish and crabs. In the early morning at Wuchang Prefecture, throngs gathered in groups like fish darting through rivers. Chen Yi shifted his gaze around, and the stupid girl was already in front of him. Frowning, he said, "It's not convenient to talk here, let's find another place."

Wuchang Prefecture is a big city, a hub for the river transport of nine provinces, with lofty city walls and a bustling population. Lacking nothing here, especially teahouses. From grand tea houses to small tea booths, people from nobles to commoners all have their places. As the saying goes, "Better three days without food than one without tea." The three strolled along the cobbled path and soon found a teahouse with vintage decor. Chen Yi ordered a private room, and before long, white smoke curled from an antique kettle on a century-old stove under the bamboo curtain.

Three bowls of tea were slowly served by the tea girl.

The wooden chair creaked as Dong Gong Ruoshu plopped down on it, her seat bouncing. Chen Yi wasn't surprised, but the ever-sensitive Yin Tingxue stiffened at this display. This was the first time the usually gentle and weak girl saw such youthful exuberance in a physique.

At home, although Min Ming's figure was plumper than Dong Gong Ruoshu's, Min Ming was an Oiran by origin, always carrying herself gracefully and with etiquette. Unlike Dong Gong Ruoshu, a girl from the Northwest, who was thousands of miles away from home, without the slightest restraint of manners, in the prime of her youth, her every move was bold and vigorous, exuding unrestrained vivacity.

Yin Tingxue stared at the half-drop of tea spilled on the table, unconsciously tugging at her hem. It was her first time realizing that even sitting could make such a scene...

No wonder Sister Weiyang treated Dong Gong like an approaching enemy every time. Beyond being a Chen Family direct descendant of the prestigious Western Jin, with such a figure, how could her husband bear it?... Yin Tingxue knew very well that Chen Yi was quite the lecher.

The young girl inexplicably felt a little panicked. She hadn't figured out why, but she always kept quiet, wanting only to be his second favorite.

Chen Yi took a sip of tea, slowly saying, "Miss Donggong, Lord Wei entrusted you to me, you should at least show some seriousness."

At that time, Wei Wuque addressed him with great formality, but in reality, it was a burden he couldn't bear. Although he too was of the Fourth Rank, Dong Gong Ruoshu's abilities now perhaps surpassed those of a Director. Putting aside whether he could truly protect her entirely, if Dong Gong Ruoshu decided to leave one day, even Wei Wuque wouldn't be able to stop her.

And now, intelligence from the west showed that Lifeng Pavilion seemed to be commissioned by a family in Western Jin, intending to assassinate Chen Ruoshu, the Crown Princess Consort. Although the intelligence was vague and speculative, Wei Wuque had to be cautious for safety.
