Chapter 222 - 198: The Flesh Buddha
A group of four traveled onward.
Yin Weiyin had been injured by the secret technique of the Demon Sect. According to the Princess of Xiang, the dark qi originated from the Demon Sect’s "Tree of Five Deadly Poisons." Once this poisonous method strikes at one’s core, Yin Weiyin’s cultivation would sharply decline, and her mind would be consumed by a Heavenly Demon, staining her Daoic heart.
Fortunately, Chen Yi arrived in time. Yin Weiyin had only been slashed once and had not suffered damage to her core. She would only need a period of rest to mend her life force and energy.
She was, after all, the Goddess of Taihua Mountain and was exceptionally skilled in such mystical matters. Even if Chen Yi wanted to help, it would be futile. As she put it, his good intentions would only lead to trouble.
When she said this, Chen Yi pinched her waist.
Yin Weiyin shuddered, her legs trembling, her autumn-like eyes lifting and falling. If no one else had been present, she might have already uttered words of mock pleading.
The Princess of Xiang, watching the female crown suffer, felt quite uncomfortable, guilt welling up within her.
Had she done something wrong?
Would it have been better to just let Sister Weiyang hide the truth?
Yin Tingxue, watching the female crown being teased in such a manner by Chen Yi, couldn’t help but sympathize. She knew Chen Yi’s temperament better than anyone. Even when she herself was as obedient as could be, he still found countless ways to bully her.
During the time she hated Chen Yi the most, she regarded him as a Mara King, like the demon Papiyan in Buddhist scriptures. Each night, she would secretly chant sutras and pray for a Buddha to take him away. But no Buddha ever came, and her attempts to escape failed. In the end, she gave up and could only obediently submit.
Of course, these thoughts were locked deep in Yin Tingxue’s heart, never to be spoken aloud.
