Chapter 41 - 30 I’ve become your concubine! (Please follow) _2
As the voice faded away, the fragrance of tea, unnoticed before, began to diffuse.
Chen Yi’s heart sank abruptly. The faint mist that lingered over Heart Lake suddenly thickened, and fine rain fell like a storm.
The scenery before his eyes shifted unexpectedly—the private room vanished. Lowering his gaze, Chen Yi found himself standing before Qian Deng Temple, thriving with incense offerings in the bustling Capital City.
Inside Qian Deng Temple, Yin Weiyin, with a Peach Wood Sword hanging at her waist, turned around and smiled at Chen Yi. In that instant of fleeting bewilderment that seized his heart, he saw her leading the way ahead while he followed closely behind.
Stepping into the front hall, rows of lanterns came into view. A corridor stretched across the hall, with oil lamps burning just beyond the walkway, separated by about a yard. Behind the lamps loomed thirty-six celestial generals, their figures indistinct yet imposing. Chen Yi unconsciously began counting the lanterns but lost track after only a few dozen. The famed name of "Thousand Lamps" was no exaggeration. The hallway’s wooden columns, frequently repaired after weathering wind and rain, retained their original brown hue, and beneath them lay a thin layer of snow.
The maple trees beyond the columns were also blanketed with snow.
In the rear hall, the altar in front of them was adorned with eternal lamps, arranged in tiers—the altar had nine levels. Behind it stood the statue of Blessings Venerate.
Yin Weiyin, robes pristine as snow, reached out to take one of the eternal lamps and handed it to Chen Yi.
"Take it," she said.
Chen Yi accepted the lamp. Its flame flickered, burning steadily and endlessly, like the ever-present sun and moon.
