Chapter 246 - 215: I’m Here to Measure You
Chen Yi slowly walked out of Medicine Temple. Though he had lost an arm, his spirit and demeanor seemed as though he were basking in a spring breeze.
Having gathered four pieces of True Yuan, Chen Yi calculated with his fingers. His cultivation realm was now capable of ascending to the Core Formation Realm. He wondered, when the painstakingly diligent Yin Weiyin learned of this, what he might feel.
The price had been steep, but ultimately, the harvest had been abundant.
What’s more, it was exhilarating.
Chen Yi briefly reminisced about the flavors of that temple.
Zhu E, though seductive, ultimately didn’t compare to the bewildered Taichua Goddess. Qin Qingluo, with her frame already taller than most men, possessed a unique appeal that was hard to compare to others.
That being said, he couldn’t help but wonder how the female Prince and Princess would face one another once they awoke.
Even if Zhu E’s sense of self had returned, she had long since acknowledged Dong Gong Ruoshu’s murderous blade and recognized him as the Bright Venerable. Thus, Chen Yi spared her life, embedding her as a chess piece deep within the Demon Sect for future contingencies.
As for Qin Qingluo, firstly, she couldn’t be killed. Secondly, her martial intent had shattered, leaving her in utter despair. Thirdly, Zhu E remained the one this imperious female Prince cared for the most.
Thus, using a Taoist skill Zhou Yitang had earlier taught him, Chen Yi made subtle adjustments to her, leaving behind a safeguard.
At the base of Medicine Temple’s mountain gate, the steps seemed endless, and fallen leaves drifted in the breeze. Chen Yi descended step by step—not hurriedly, not slowly—as if waiting for something.
While walking, he idly touched his broken left arm. A dull ache surged through him like a tide.
