Chapter 1199: Chapter 650: Yin Weiyin?! (Two-in-One)
Chen Yi shook his head, suppressing the cluttered thoughts. Qin Qingluo was right in front of him, and it wasn’t good to be distracted by thoughts of other women, especially since she ultimately didn’t fully trust him.
"Just now, that was..."
The slightly breathless voice of Qin Qingluo reached him, carrying a hint of subtle inquiry.
She stood there with her spear put away, remembering that she’d met that woman a few times before and only knew that she had a close relationship with Chen Yi. Now, seeing someone so quick and graceful passing by again, she couldn’t help but ask.
Chen Yi slowly got up, stabilized his blood, and said slowly, "My master, Yin Sword Mountain Sword Armor, Master Tongxuan."
"The ninth in the world?"
Qin Qingluo’s pupils slightly shrank.
"It’s her."
Getting a definite answer, even though she had mentally prepared for it and had heard some rumors, the Princess still froze slightly. She seemed surprised, but ended with a hearty laugh,
"I see, no wonder... If I had known she was your master before, I would never have been your enemy."
"But what you don’t know is, she was also once my enemy." Chen Yi paused for a moment and said gently, "Just like you."
Qin Qingluo’s smile slightly froze, momentarily at a loss for words.
They both knew what had just occurred. If it hadn’t been for her inadvertently believing something into reality, deeply believing Chen Yi would betray her, they wouldn’t have been in such a dangerous situation.
"Haha, is she not your woman then?" Qin Qingluo’s eyes slightly narrowed with a mocking smile, "I don’t know whether to say you’re charmingly flirtatious or... fickle."
Chen Yi took a deep breath and calmly said, "Prince, you don’t need to pretend to be jealous."
Qin Qingluo, who was about to speak, found herself wordless again.
Chen Yi chuckled and said, "Having three wives and four concubines is so commonly seen for men. You never seemed to care about how many women I had before; you don’t actually care about these, do you?"
Other women more or less would get jealous over Chen Yi’s romantic involvements. He was indeed flirtatious, but once he did fall in love, it would be so intense, they couldn’t separate, even Zhou Yitang was helpless. Even the usually gentle and understanding Little Fox had some complaints, but Qin Qingluo was not the kind to fall into such a category of women.
She was nobly titled as a Vassal King, having seen people and events different from other women, ambitious with the resolution to flatten the world. She wouldn’t bother with such trivial matters; in her eyes, they were nothing more than petty issues.
After a long while, Chen Yi heard the tall woman sigh, then slowly said, "Indeed, I don’t trust you, I’m wary of you, perhaps in this ghostly place, my thoughts were magnified, thus Words Become Law, affecting you."
"It’s alright." Chen Yi brushed the dust off his shoulder and said softly, "I know no matter what I say, the Prince will doubt. Since you don’t trust me, why not trust Qin Yue? After all, she is my daughter, and you are also her... mother."
Qin Qingluo’s phoenix eyes lowered, seeming hesitant.
"She called me dad, and acknowledged me in her heart." Chen Yi said softly, although how she acknowledged him couldn’t be mentioned...
After a long time, he received a response: "...Alright."
Chen Yi smiled and said, "Then let’s go."
"Mm," Qin Qingluo slightly nodded, "let’s leave this ghostly place first."
......
This place encompassed the entire Dragon Tail City, so vast that staying here longer risked unknown dangers. Therefore, Chen Yi and Qin Qingluo did not try to track the official puppet. The urgent task was to leave this ghostly place.
The two walked side by side, the outline of streets and alleys became increasingly blurred in the distance, melting into a chaotic gray, like a poor-quality painting soaked and repeatedly smeared by water.
Chen Yi’s gaze swept through every corner, every crack in the doors and windows, not missing a single possible anomaly.
Time lost its meaning here, only an unspoken anxiety grew in their hearts. After walking for an unknown period, Chen Yi’s gaze crossed a patch of low rooftops and suddenly focused.
At the edge of that chaotic gray, in a very distant place, a radiance distinctly different from the surrounding stagnant dead objects flickered stubbornly. It wasn’t the static light of a flame but carried a hint of... a warm flow.
"Prince!" Chen Yi’s voice, due to suppressed excitement, sounded slightly hoarse. He abruptly stopped and pointed towards that light, "Look over there! There’s light! Like it’s... an exit!"
Qin Qingluo followed his finger, her snake-like pupils contracted immediately, that tiny point of light also became clear in her eyes.
It wasn’t an illusion, her heart thumped, without hesitation, she said, "Go!"
Chen Yi felt a warmth in his heart, gathered his energy, and dashed towards that little point of light.
Their figures created a faint sound as they passed through the deathly still streets and alleys, Qin Qingluo closely behind, her black Python Robe cutting a sharp line through the stagnant light.
The two moved rapidly towards that beacon of hope, the distance shortening, and the glow seemed to expand slightly, vaguely outlining a blurred, door-like shape.
Qin Qingluo chased Chen Yi’s back with all her might, the light just a few dozen feet ahead, her heart was already in her throat, just about to call out for Chen Yi to confirm the direction,
"Chen Yi! Just ahead..."
The sound cut off suddenly.
When she retracted her gaze from the glow and instinctively turned to the front side, the place where Chen Yi should have been was unexpectedly empty!
The figure that was clearly visible just now seemed to be erased by an invisible hand in an instant, the faint wind he raised swiftly disappeared, as if it had never existed.
Only her footsteps remained around her.
"Chen Yi?!" she shouted firmly, her voice echoed in the stillness, but received no response, it was like throwing a stone into the sea.
At the same time.
Turning the corner, Chen Yi felt as though he had broken through some invisible thin membrane, the surroundings blurred and darkened sharply, then replaced by a dazzling, fluid brilliance. He staggered a step to stabilize himself, his heart filled with confusion.
